Exciting day -- the launch of The Pennymores, a novel created with my daughters. This began during the pandemic as a collaborative bedtime story and turned into a full novel. It was like trying to bottle childlike imagination -- the hardest & most fulfilling book I've done.

I am convinced the “project-before-you-even-think-it’s-a-company” is the most critical, yet least understood part of entrepreneurship. It’s the primordial soup that sets the trajectory.

Want to write more? Set up a writing studio. What's that you ask? It's just a desk, a chair, a dining room table, or a spot on your patio that you *don't* use for normal work. Give it a fancy name: my writing studio. Tell others about it. Now you've got a writing studio!

I've been thinking a lot lately about the difference between creating content... and building a body of work. At first, they can look almost identical. You're writing. Publishing. Sharing ideas. Showing up consistently. But over time, they start to separate. Content is often designed for today. A body of work is designed to matter years from now. That's one of the biggest mindset shifts I've seen in the authors I've worked with. They stop asking, "What should I post this week?" And start asking, "What am I building?" Funny enough, that changes almost everything. Books become more than books. Articles become chapters in a larger conversation. Podcasts become places to develop ideas. Frameworks become the language people associate with your work. None of it feels disconnected. It compounds. That's why I've become less interested in creating more content... ...and much more interested in creating work that builds on itself. The algorithm may reward today's post. But your body of work is what people remember. And more importantly... It's what they come back to. 📚 #ModernAuthor #ThoughtLeadership #Writing #BodyOfWork

“The most invisible form of wasted time is doing a good job on an unimportant task.” – @JamesClear

Instead of asking, "What should I post today?" Try asking, "What am I building?" One question creates content. The other creates a body of work.

I don't know what you want to write about, but I do know you need to be writing. If you want to write a book, you can. But you have to make a decision and take action.

No writer ever writes alone.

Good reading requires writing. I realized I didn't actually "read" that article or book unless I wrote 50-250 words summarizing what I learned. Read, write, then teach or share.

“Post with intent. If you set out to genuinely help people, your odds of building an audience increase significantly. People flock to content that solves their problems.” – @ShehuPHD

One of the hardest parts of learning as an adult? You know exactly how bad you are. That doesn't mean you shouldn't start.
