SAM DRIVER

Do you ever get that sinking feeling you're going against the grain? Like, you feel you should be doing something different. Alan Watts states it's going against the natural flow of your life. Against the current of a river. So, what should you be doing? What's your purpose?

@systemsjake Soooo true! You can't lose 😀

@_SamDriver No bad outcomes if you are collecting data and making changes based on it!

Try. Fail. Learn. Repeat. The magic isn't in avoiding mistakes... it's in leveraging them!

@brenodecassioo Love this! 😀

It took me 6 months to start on 𝕏: ▸ Created 10+ profile pics & bios ▸ Brainstormed 100's of content ideas ▸ Wrote 50+ posts and didn't release any You see, perfection is the death of progress. Start now.

@brainergybylisa This was a timely reminder. Thanks 😀

No ones going to do the work you’re procrastinating on.

@thedankoe It took me many years to break the curtain and escape my limiting beliefs. Once I did, my life transformed.

Your life sucks because your standards are so low that you are okay with your life sucking.

@zee_copywriting The moment I embraced this, soooooo many new opportunities presented themselves 😀

Wanna achieve your dreams? Stop caring about what others think.

@YB_Copywriter So, important and something I have to keep reminding myself of!

Be yourself! Think differently, and create your own path. Remember that your uniqueness is your superpower. And, most importantly, Don't follow the herd!

Fatigued. Lacking focus. Irritable. You see, I skipped my morning routine (again)... ▸ No walk ▸ No meditation ▸ No cold shower Winters coming, and l wanted an extra hour in bed! But a few simple actions can make such a difference to your day.

I was playing with my kids and caught myself wandering about 𝕏. "Dad! You're not listening!" It jolted me back, but the damage was done. We often overlook the power of now and get caught up in the past/future. So, anchor yourself in the present by: ▸ Journaling ▸ Practicing meditation ▸ Reducing distractions Nobody is perfect, but focusing on the now is a true superpower.

@SLSanders88 100% 😀

@_SamDriver Vulnerability and trust are the foundation for real connection.

Fear of being judged stops many from being vulnerable and sharing their thoughts on 𝕏. Yet, people resonate with those raw, honest moments the most. Show your true self, flaws and all. The world has enough masks.

@Itz_Alph So true! This could relate to 2 years, 2 months, or even 2 days. The digital space moves at incredible speed!

@_SamDriver In 2000 years no one will remember you. Why are you letting anyone’s opinions prevent your success?

@newThyselfnow @smartbloggerhq Haha, that's awesome! And thanks 😀 Best of luck to you too!

@_SamDriver @smartbloggerhq Best of luck! I’m just starting out in this too and have a lot of parallels to your story (30s, sales, 9-5, and cats). I feel excited/terrified/free for the first time in a long time.

@DaveSchmiedecke Awesome! It inspired me to post today. Plus, I used your fancy bullets tips 😀

120 days ago, I started posting on 𝕏. Haven’t missed a day since. Made 100’s of friends, posted almost 2000 times. But most importantly: I learned a TON about starting as a digital writer. Here are my Top 10 Lessons: 1/ Post daily. No excuses. 2/ Leverage other creator’s audiences by commenting under their posts. 3/ Test a bunch of content ideas but nail it down to 1-3 main topics fast. Begin broad but be ready to dig deep. 4/ Never, ever be boring. Have some fun (especially in the comments). 5/ The start is supposed to suck. But you’ll be glad you made it through the messy beginning. 6/ Get obsessed over learning how to become a great writer. 7/ People want to read your story WAY more than they want to read platitudes and evergreen content. 8/ Using templates and scheduling posts are totally fine (even if some folks on 𝕏 say otherwise). 9/ Use bullets. They make your writing look good (but avoid “-” and go with “•” or fancy ones like “▸” or “☞”). 10/ Build in public and let others hold you accountable. _____________ Thanks for reading. I hope this helps! If it did, 2 requests: 1) Follow along on my writing journey @DaveSchmiedecke. 2) Repost this to help another beginner writer on 𝕏.

Oh, man! Having one of those days. You know, the ones where everything feels like such an effort. ▸ Motivation has fizzled out. ▸ The creativity well has dried up. ▸ Fatigued has set in (it's only 10:00 am!) Yet, I'm here. Because small, consistent actions matter.

@Itz_Alph Well said! 😁

@_SamDriver The barrier to success has both never been lower and never been higher.

Schedule 1 hour per day for 30 days to work on your project. You will gain enough momentum to leapfrog 96.7% of people in your niche.

@zee_copywriting I couldn't agree more 😀

Train your mind every day: → Take 5-10k steps → Do workouts → Lift weights → Meditate → Write Success isn't only about having lots of money. It's about making your life better by being healthier and happier.

@DaveSchmiedecke Nice! Your 90-day sprint is epic (and inspirational). I'm looking forward to seeing the end results. Perhaps I'll start one soon 😀

@_SamDriver I love running similar "experiments" for 30 (or 90) days. Not too much to handle but still enough to figure stuff out.

@ItsKieranDrew This was a massive hurdle for me to overcome. I would procrastinate to my heart's content and use it as an excuse. Even writing this, I can hear that tiny voice inside... "Don't let yourself be vulnerable!" Accept it. Put it aside. And grow.

I made an Instagram account when I started online. One day, a friend from university found it. I was so horrified that I deleted it. I still feel stupid about how I responded. Please, give less f*cks about what people think. You’re building something here.
