The single most powerful habit for personal growth:
Journaling.
Over the past 5 years, I've journaled every single morning—and along the way, I've:
• Answered over 1,000 questions
• Tested every app, pen, & notebook
But I always return to a pen, paper, and these 5 prompts:
"They Laughed When I Sat Down At The Piano But When I Started To Play!" - John Caples
If you are looking to learn copywriting. Study this piece. It is a masterclass in selling through a story.
The power of the title alone makes me want to read on.
@ItsKieranDrew I agree, AI made me lazy. I notice a reduction in how I was thinking, but recently I've been putting pen to paper - more than I ever used to before. Seen a massive improvement
You beat fear with small steps that compound. Push yourself slightly outside your comfort zone every day. Do this for 3 months, and you'll be shocked at who you become. I was.
@Pradeepkannanj I’m going through this right now.
The best thing I’ve found to do is to take small steps each day to push yourself out of your comfort zone. This action will compound over time. In a few months, you will be a totally different person.
Most people cannot start a business.
Most people are scared.
Most people wait for the “right time.”
Most people overthink every step.
Most people choose comfort over growth.
Don’t be like most people.
People who chase outcomes rarely stay consistent. People who fall in love with the process are consistent forever. This is why I became a writer—I can write until the day I die.
"I want financial freedom."
Cool. But will you:
- Sit alone for 6 months while your mates are at the pub
- Keep going when the first 2 months produce zero results
- Learn a skill that's boring before it's profitable
- Ignore everyone who tells you it won't work
- Spend your evenings building instead of scrolling
Because wanting it isn't the hard part. Doing the boring work nobody sees is.
I believe we're in a bubble - the price of AI has to go up.
OpenAI lost $14B last year.
Anthropic just raised $30B in February.
Yet both sell subscriptions from $20/mo.
Anthropic is already throttling Claude usage at peak times through token limits.
How is it viable to sell $20 subscriptions while burning through that kind of money?
Some of my best investments in the past 5 years:
1. Writing coaching
2. Business coaching
3. Hiring an expert to help with systems
4. Hiring a full time virtual assistant
5. Using money to buy back time to write a book
Money is energy. Make it move.
Just got home from a 12-hour shift in a kitchen.
The next hour is dedicated to writing and journaling my thoughts.
Showing up consistently every day will compound.
This is how you grow!
