Syed Gibran

I’m a marketer who’s trying to tell a story. A simple story of who or what I am becoming by constantly destroying parts of myself and rebuilding myself every single day, in front of you. I write a tweet everyday and I publish a blog every Friday about relearning marketing by testing it on myself, what change it brings in me and I share whatever works and even the parts that don’t work. Hope this brings a meaningful change in you too.

@Tim_Denning It really helps you bring your inner feelings from the inner abstract world to the paper where you can actually see what you really feel.

Writing is actually for mental health.

@ParkerMcCumber @russellbrunson I agree. If we don’t set parameters to measure against, how do we know where we’re lacking or where we’re growing?

@gibrantests @russellbrunson Syed, this is a great point. Deadlines create measurable accountability. Otherwise people confuse activity with progress and spend months repeating the same actions without evaluating whether the strategy is actually working.

If there’s no deadline, there’s no decision.

Writing content on X started as a distribution strategy for my blog. When I faced the challenge of attention, when no one was reading my content, it made me obsessed to make this work. Writing for 46 days and realizing that no matter whether it’s short form or long form, there’s no hack to it. You really have to mean what you say. Day 46 - Writing content is about serving yourself with honesty, it’s not about chasing metrics.

@Rakshaweb3 True. You can’t measure progress if the goal isn’t specific and clear enough.

@gibrantests Post with a clear goal.

Posting more is not the answer Everyone preaching consistency skips the part where you need something worth saying first 10 sharp posts beat 30 forgettable ones, Every time.

@Lilly7862 Every excuse you make is an announcement to yourself that what you want isn’t really that important. If it was, you’d have kicked down any and every wall in your way no matter how hard or painful.

Don’t let excuses be louder than your effort. Every excuse quietly takes something from your future. Just keep showing up, even when you don’t feel like it.

@AlphaDiallo0 @Lilly7862 The effect is a nice byproduct of working on yourself daily. The one who works on himself relentlessly gets absorbed in the work and when he takes a breath he realizes how far he has come.

@gibrantests @Lilly7862 “Just Do It” is easy to say, but extremely powerful when you actually live it. 45 days of consistency is no joke — you’re already proving the compound effect is real. Keep going. The best is still ahead.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is keep going gently. Not with pressure. Not with panic. Just with consistency.

@russellbrunson You gotta keep moving, but every step should be intentional because there are many paths you can take and it’s easy to wander. You gotta keep your reasons close to your heart, the reasons that made you start.

The faster you act, the faster you learn, and the faster new paths appear.

@AlphaDiallo0 @matt_gray_ It’s just getting started indeed. Best of luck to us and the ones who are showing up for themselves every single day.

@gibrantests @matt_gray_ Same here bro 🙏 It really means a lot. Let’s keep walking these paths with consistency and purpose. I’m looking forward to the day we reconnect — hopefully in a year — and share how far we’ve both come. Stay locked in. The journey is just getting started.

The most addictive drug is momentum.

@AlphaDiallo0 @matt_gray_ It means a lot, thank you. Here’s hoping we keep walking the paths we started on and hope we intersect a year later and can share the stories of the internal and external progress we have achieved.

Exactly bro 💯 The daily process isn’t pretty. It gets ugly, uncomfortable, and full of obstacles. But the people who keep showing up anyway are the ones who look back a year later completely transformed. Keep going. The compound effect is real — even when you can’t see it yet. Rooting for you.

@AlphaDiallo0 @matt_gray_ Doing it every single day, trying to be a tiny bit better. It gets ugly at some moments but when I get past it, I understand why it was a necessary obstacles. I hope I see you again after a year and tell you about what changes it brought in me.

@gibrantests @matt_gray_ Focus on becoming a bit better every single day. If you stick to it, at first the results are too tiny to be seen. But within 365 days, everything will be different.

@Codie_Sanchez This is very important right now with AI in everyone’s hands. Everyone is writing and everyone is creating. Now the ones who will make it at the ones who are focusing on the problems someone wishes need to be solved.

You either create things that the world better... or you create problems. You can't help but create, you just choose what.

@kt_mastery That’s true. If I get swept away by the winds of a busy life, this would be another project that died on conception.

@gibrantests That grind don't care how you feel. Keep.

You know your goal, you know what you gotta do. You keep doing it. But there comes a point when life starts pulling you in all directions. That part. That part is your test; you gotta push harder even when you’re not in a position to do it. Day 41 - I have finally realized why people say consistency is king.

@kt_mastery I would like to know more about it and learn it by applying it to my writing. Thank you.

@gibrantests Get used to separating idea capture from writing.

An original idea per day. I don't know how people do it, it's so damn hard. Starting from zero, dropping AI is making me realize that you either have to really search your depths for writing or have an assistant who is good, but does the same work for millions of others. Day 43 - I need balance and systems so I can do what I can do well.

@kt_mastery I am seeing this as an opportunity to write with absolute freedom. When no one is watching, I can refine myself with intentional repetition so when my content finally reaches the ones it’s meant for, it arrives with value to the reader.

@gibrantests Keep writing clarity comes when no one’s watching.

Never lose sight of what the objective is. That’s what my boss told me today and I have been pondering on this since the afternoon. We need to remember our singular goal of what exact change do we want in ourselves, everything else is just a distraction. Day 44 - I have to always keep in mind why am I writing even when it’s barely visible to anyone.

@garyvee After 45 days of writing consistently. I finally understood why Nike says "JUST DO IT". It's not a slogan written to be catchy, it actually means a lot. You have to do first because no amount of thinking would help you unless you take an action.

So much pondering. So much debating. So much fear. So much insecurity. So many what-ifs. So much looking backwards. So much doubt….. stop it - live ! ❤️❤️❤️

@ataftermidnight @elonmusk Thank you for sharing. Now I am relieved I am not alone.

@gibrantests @elonmusk Me too
