the state of work is changing things are going digital we know that employers are starting to hire based on an individual's public resume that they post online via content newsletters YouTube videos or anything else that helps display their credibility and Authority without you having to try and prove it to the employer and to add on top of that people are and have been losing trust in the traditional education system and they are resorting to internet creators for their future success both personal and professional because think about it when's the last time that you've heard someone
say like oh I am so proud like I use everything that I learned in my degree for my job that's not how things are moving instead I've learned what I know about the gym from YouTubers that talk about Fitness there are infinite perspectives that I can study and become my own personal trainer and my own personal expert rather than I don't have to give that advice to others I can if that's something I want to do and I do for business and spirituality and personal development but when it comes to the gym and health I
have the full ability to tap into my desire for self-education and I can become my own personal trainer I can become my own relationship therapist I can become my own psychologist I can become anything that I want to become because there is ample education out there that I don't have to shovel over forty thousand dollars to acquire to become an expert in that field and now client work like freelancing when they want to break out of this traditional system of like either employment or other things people usually go with the freelancing option they learn a
skill they sell a skill and they get stuck in a new Rat Race that they have created for themselves in terms of I need to find clients in order to survive and and they're going to pay me this much and you're a commodity because you're a specialized robot that performs one specific task that other tools are starting to automate out because that's the thing is one thing that a lot of people leave out about freelancing or what they don't tell you because I've experienced it and some people are starting to talk about this but I
was a freelancer and I pivoted out of it because I realized that you need to truly become an expert and that does not mean being a specialist if you want to become a web designer great that is an incredible first option to go with to start making some money but in order to charge three four five ten thousand dollars for a service to be able to generate wealth and be able to take on less clients so you have more time on your hands you have to understand that the the low ticket freelance jobs are being
automated out I can go and build an absolutely [ __ ] beautiful website for ten dollars with a specific software because that's what web designers are doing nowadays is they are using software and they're using their mind and their creative ability to apply that software to someone else's business and because that business usually doesn't have the time to do so for themselves and now I'm a big proponent of the one person business model and so if you're coming into the Creator economy or even for like influencers and you're trying to sell to these people because
it's the future and that's what you should do and it's an opportunity that you should hop on I'm not saying this lightly please note this down is that if you want to Target other creators and become a Creator yourself you're going to have to go more towards the side of Education right if you were to come to me I don't want a website built for myself I want to learn how to do it so you can either teach me or I can go buy a software and learn how to do it myself but in many
cases says I don't want to spend that time to learn how to do this one specific thing just because it doesn't interest me so I would rather pay you a thousand dollars to get on a call with me and tell me exactly how to build a website I don't need this don't reach out to me for this I was a web designer in my past I can do that specifically fine but if you find a problem in my business that I'm unaware of and you make me aware of it and you persuade me as to
why it's going to help my business for me to pay you a thousand dollars to teach me that step-by-step system that will save me x amount of time wasted than I may buy from you and so the highest paid Freelancers that do the work for you they use their creative ability they use their mind they don't rely on a software with cool templates and other things to be the main part of their service they understand a mix a range of skills that then they can come and build a solution for your business so for example
if I'm having if a Coach is having trouble generating leads then I'm going to come in and I'm going to say okay you need a landing page so I need to know web design you need uh copywriting for that landing page so I need to understand persuasion marketing and copywriting and then I need to understand their business as a whole right because then they opt in and they get put into an email sequence that has follow-ups and other things and that's a much better well-rounded service that fits someone's specific business in a way that will
get results and that is impossible to just Outsource to one specific software to do it all for you and so as humans this is what we do we have the ability to think and build we build tools and solutions that make life easier for us this is never going to stop we're going to continue doing it so if you are not a builder then you are going to be built over or you are going to build for someone else so that was kind of just an introduction to lay the framework but in the last video
we talked about the one person business model how to productize yourself and now I want to talk about what I call a value Creator or in some cases a synthesizer which we'll also touch on but the value Creator is a way to go about the one person business model because there are infinite numbers of one-person business models right it's not limited to digital products information products courses coaching Consulting like turning yourself into a business is what I'm talking about here and being a value Creator is a way of doing that so this is a new
career path that the internet has created I've talked about how sixty percent of new jobs have yet to be created they're going to be created by the internet the value Creator or the educator is going to be one of them one that takes it on as their responsibility to research a specific crevice of reality that nobody has explored or at least explored in that combination right you can explore many different interests and then you synthesize those you connect those and you educate other people you play your role in the shift away from the traditional education
system that can't keep up with how technology has evolved so value creators are the people that earn with their mind not their time so they can stay as a one-person Business Without limiting their income they research their obsessions and distill their learnings with writing video and other internet content they become a one-person media company right they build their name on social media with media so videos writing graphics and then they sell a product from that traffic right because now you have traffic now you need a way to monetize and send people to and we talked
about that in the last video third thing they get paid for aggregated knowledge and experience in the form of digital products or physical products if you want but everyone should have some form of digital product so that's how they get paid is they research these things they leave out breadcrumbs in the form of content and media and then they aggregate that information into a step-by-step system and sell that via digital a digital product or service and four they have a heavy focus on educating Their audience instead of posting memes starting drama commentating on other things
or other things like that to me this is very appealing I like the path of the value creator online because I don't have to worry about starting drama with other people I get to focus on my Med my message and what I'm educating people on and it doesn't take flashy looks or other things to actually build an audience it takes this education of the certain things that you are learning and becoming an expert in so value creators are those that dedicate themselves to exploring the unknown aspects of life to exploring their curiosity and they take
it on as their life work life's work to dissect these crevices of reality that they're exploring so whether it be self-improvement marketing business spirituality metaphysics philosophy email marketing whatever it may be you just have to start and start learning and connections and letting one thing lead to another by curiosity now a lot of people get confused here with curiosity and so do I because it's not something tangible it's not something concrete and for me I can only explain it based off of experience and feeling so with curiosity think of the book that you actually wanted
to read think of the videos that you actually wanted to watch the things that were seamless where it's like man I'm loving learning about this so for me it's a select few books it's like The Power of Now which I haven't read in a bit awareness way of the superior man Flow by mihai chicks at me high uh Rest by Alex tsujung kimpong and everything Alan Watts right those really resonate with me specifically they may not resonate with you and that's a sign that's a sign that you have to find the people in the writing
and the interest that really really resonate with you and that makes it effortless to actually study those and makes you want to talk about them because if you're going to post something online the easiest way I can say as to oh what do I post post the things that are interesting to you because they're going to be interesting to someone else if you're reading through a book and something catches your attention and you're like oh man that's really good other people aren't going to think that some other people so you take that and you distill
it for your audience you synthesize it with your interests or what you're trying to achieve in this life watch the other video on the one person business model and then that's going to be interesting to them because they are similar to you so it's not about transitioning from consumer to Creator it's about transitioning from consumer to researcher first because you have to research and gather your own knowledge before you can create with it right you have to dissect other things via reading and then order to reconstruct them into your own creation or writing or video
or newsletter or whatever it may be because a researcher to me implies that you are intentionally consuming information you have a goal of how to use that information and apply that information so if your brand or you as a person are working towards a big goal in your life and you're researching specific things let's say you're working towards Financial Freedom but you're very interested in spirituality well how is it helping you get there right that's a very unique perspective and that's a very unique connection that you can make so here's a graphic of the value
Creator we start with genuine interests and the skills you need for that are research learning and note taking those are things you have to do on a daily basis so what are you obsessed with learning we talked about that the next thing is creating your unique perspective if you need help with this I highly highly highly recommend you download my free creative challenges called seven days to genius ideas it it will change everything I don't say that in a platitude sense like oh it'll change your life it will [ __ ] change the way you
see the world the world and your content it'll Branch over into content so for forming a unique perspective you need critical thinking open-mindedness and self-improvement next thing is actually creating value from that so how will they help others reach that goal how will your unique interests and perspectives help other people and for that the skills you need are marketing and sales writing and thinking education and teaching and then now that you have value because you understand how to structure a persuasive message by studying those skills then you need to distribute that value so the next
thing is value dis distribution where can they find your value on the internet so you need to understand social media digital tools and leverage building and so if you have to screenshot that graphic and start just generally researching those skills get the big picture of what they are and how to do them well because here's one other thing right I was watching in actualize.org lecture the other day and he mentioned how like real or like the school system and government and other things they're compartmentalized right when you go to school to be learn one thing
let's say the biology department or the chemistry department or the business department right you're you're limited you're studying those things only when reality is not compartmentalized business it it's a part of life all of your life plays into it and we need more people we need more synthesizers to come in and research their interests and use that to create an entirely new category because like life isn't compartmentalized you need to be able to understand the full picture and connect the full picture together in order to help people achieve their goals in life we need more
people that can do that because because it isn't easy it's incredibly difficult and fun to research what you want to research and embrace the unknown or the unconventional and uncomfortable path in life it is 10 times more rewarding any platitude will tell you that and those platitudes the cliche quotes on like oh break out of your comfort zone like they're they've lived a long time because they're very very very important no matter how many times they've been conditioned into your head to the point of you thinking that they are boring and insignificant so this how
this all sounds great but how do you start researching your interests effectively and that is by exploring the unknown aspects of reality through Consciousness because reality is infinitely complex connected and perspective based you are a perspective vessel the way that you consume information is going to be different from how others consume it you are going to interpret it based on your world view and then if you create with that worldview and you help put it out there then it's going to be different from other people's perspectives so how do you explore this crevice of reality
or part of the unknown you deconstruct holes into parts then you reconstruct those parts back into a hole because the universe or God or infinite intelligence or whatever it may be it has divided itself into Infinite different parts it is a whole and it is a part and those parts exist because of distinctions right it's just infinite different distinctions and I don't want to get all filled philosophical here we'll dive into that in another time but you have to understand that the only thing the only reason that people or things exist like in the metaphor
in the philosophical sense the only reason they exist is because of relationship it's because of Distinction it's because I am not this so I am this right I am not that camera so I am human being I am not like if nothing if you're just floating in a void you yourself would cease to exist because you have nothing to compare it to so let's make this a bit more practical so the first step is choose an obsession and the with this don't try to Outsource this you can't just be like what's my obsession I don't
know what is your obsession have you tried anything have you gotten pulled down a rabbit hole before like you have to try a bunch of different things if you don't know try if you don't try you'll never know so try literally everything that potentially catches your interest because your mind your ego will try to distract you from this if you see something like oh will that be cool to study or learn on my own but that video game that sounds really nice oh that like going out with my friends that sounds really nice I have
nothing against video games or going out with your friends but if it's distracting you from making progress then yeah there's a problem there so if you need a starting point look at your browser history on YouTube Google whatever it may be look at the last videos you watched and look at what you naturally consume to learn not to distract yourself what do you go on social media to learn who are you following that are actually educating others and how can you emulate them how can you reverse engineer how can you deconstruct that hole into Parts
how can you you reverse engineer their success and follow it and another thing is to look at your life and see what you do what have you improved the most in your life if you're a gem junkie how has the gym helped you if you're a runner how has that helped you if you're an auto Didact or polymath and you just love researching everything how has that helped you how can you help other people become that and how has it benefited your life so number two is to research that Obsession from all angles so to
do this you have to follow people that you disagree with that are talking about your topic of interest you have to buy let's say a best-selling book that goes over the fundamentals of that Obsession you need to get the big picture before you can start understanding the tactics and the little details right you have to obsess over the big picture rather than the technical details don't get trapped in the technical details view everything from The Meta perspective of the big picture of that specific Obsession of yours the thing that you are researching and you have
to come at it from I want to understand this holistically I want to understand all perspectives if you're a health guy then study the benefits of a vegan diet even if you absolutely hate and you're tied to the ideology that veganism is bad look at the benefits see why people do it be able to be nuanced and navigate your way through a conversation on health and then go and look at carnivore if you are so attached to carnivore then force yourself to look at the research that disproves carnivore and vice versa for everything look at
both sides of the coin if you're attached to the ancestral diet then maybe try veganism like break out of your little bubble of comfort that you put yourself in and continue growing by trying new things and researching the entire domain so the best thing you can do is just learn about it every day and immerse yourself in that Obsession and people that are teaching about it unfollow every single social media account aside from the ones that are putting out good information that you can study put books on your desk a cue a podcast for the
next day literally just immerse yourself in the information and then the next thing that you do is you note down Golden Nugget ideas or your discoveries so as you're researching your obsessions or really anything it should be since you are genuinely curious about these things it should be near impossible to not write down your discoveries or to write down the things that really stuck with you the things that interested you meaning they are going to interest someone else so if you need help one keep a running note in your phone and download my free creative
challenge so I give all of this to you but if you need help as you're listening as you're reading whatever it may be note down the ideas anecdotes stories or even statistics that really stuck out to you that you're like wow like that changed my mind or aha like that's it it's hard to put this into like tangible words because you can't but when you get that excitement that's what you write down and so with all of this when you go to write content or you go to create a video where you go to outline
a podcast or something like that all of these things that you've written down they're building blocks you literally just copy paste them over and you structure an argument about based on what you want to talk about and these will serve as foundational ideas for your content like one thing that I do for my YouTube videos is one I watch Good YouTube videos and I know what performs well in the algorithm and I take the title of the video so let's say one that's coming in the future that I'm writing about in my newsletter right now
is called the power of being alone that's a very hot topic a lot of people like to talk about that so right now what I'm doing is I'm listening to videos on being alone I'm studying that topic so I can come with a credible argument because I have experience variance to back it but I need a way of structuring my argument and so that's the next thing is that simplifying complex topics will be the greatest skill of The Next Century because we live in an information age right there's so many ideas and people are overwhelmed
with what they need to do right there's so many different options that you can take for your career or your life and we need people that can come and organize and simplify this information that's being put out there because people are making new discoveries left and right people are creating new knowledge left and right and they're distilling it in the form of Internet content and so the biggest mistake you can do here because you're researching your interest right you're researching you're noting things down but the worst thing you can do is let knowledge outpace execution
you have to apply what you learn because you don't learn to write by reading about writing it's going to help it's a good guide but you have to actually practice it right you can't study a a seniors level English course if you're in first grade right or you haven't written anything in your life it just doesn't make sense it's not going to apply and you're going to be like oh crap and you need to go back to the fundamentals you need to go back to first grade English and practice and then you're going to need
to go to second grade English and then practice you need go to third grade English and practice and if you skip any of those steps you're not going to learn to write effectively or it's just going to take you 10 times longer because you're going to try and write like a senior in college and then you're going to have to go back to fourth grade but there's also a trap there because with value creation you need to make your knowledge valuable right there's only so many things that you can like practice tangibly right there's ideas
that you have to munch on and contemplate and go on walks and let your default mode Network let your subconscious mind bring ideas to your conscious mind so you have Firepower to write with you have to sit down and you have to sit with a topic and just think about it you have to contemplate you have to go in you need to introspect and self-reflect and understand like okay what is the true value in this message what has this helped me with in my life and now the next step is absolutely crucial you need to
put your value on the public market so you need to turn the value that you've created into internet content and you need to post it because you need data you need to understand if your ideas are truly valuable or not or if they are perceived as valuable because you can write like Alan Watts you can write like a philosopher but if you post it online and you're not growing and you're not getting any engagement and because of that you're not making any sales it's not going to be sustainable then how are you going to do
that for a full time you need a balance of internal and external you need to play the game the external game from a place of I want to give value okay so we understand how to find and research our obsessions but how do we package up that knowledge and turn it into something of value that other people will like engage and follow along with so the first step is choosing a media platform because you're going to be Distributing your value via media right you're going to be composing a message from your knowledge from your own
unique perspective and distribute it via media that's all the internet is right that's how you reach anyone that's how you build a readership that's how you build an audience there is no way around it you have to create content you have to create media so I personally prefer Twitter that's what I started with that's what many people in my network have started with they've grown on there because it is underrated and untapped and there are just so many different benefits starting on Twitter because I tried everything before I tried a fitness YouTube channel I tried
a digital art page on Instagram I tried paid ads SEO all of this other stuff to try and grow my brand and now I was missing crucial pieces but when I got on Twitter everything just clicked all of my knowledge clicked and I'm just like okay I know how to make this work now and it was easier because Twitter you need a profile picture but you don't need to post any images right it's it's an idea platform it's a platform for ideas and writing clear articulation and communication that's what all of this is that's the
foundation of everything there's a reason that people screenshot their tweets and post them on other platforms it's because the message is so valuable and uh captivating compared to like an Instagram model that's just in like a bikini there's something of value there and those tweets the screenshotted tweets on any other platform usually get more engagement if the Tweet is good then any other kind of post you could post right so it only makes sense to start on Twitter because all you need is the ability to type on a keyboard and maybe some branding and marketing
knowledge on how to create a profile that makes people want to follow you right but that's not the only benefit of starting on Twitter the other thing is that the retweet button that's how you share a post that's how you get eyes that's how you get eyes on your content which is how you grow you like I feel like people are so confused with how to grow it's like I'm posting content every single day and it's like this isn't YouTube where those are going to build up and over time if the SEO is good then
you may gain a following this is you need to write good content and you need to put 100 of your effort 90 of your effort on getting it in front of other people and so the retweet button is just a click on any other social media platform it's much higher friction to share another post it's much higher friction to get eyes on your post therefore getting them on your profile therefore having them follow you so take that into account and the comments right the comments are just better on Twitter it's more of a forum and
people go to the comments more than they would on say Instagram right so if you're commenting on Instagram all you see is like a username and then a line with whatever they're commenting but if you comment on Twitter they see your profile picture so they can tell if you're a Creator or not if your branding is good they see your name and they see that you added value to that tweet so there's just much easier ways to grow on Twitter and Twitter's just underrated and it it is a foundation writing is the foundation of everything
if you can write compelling tweets all of your other social media content will get that much better and that much more valuable so the key with this is to start with beginner level content 95 of the market are beginners if you're watching this feels weird to say this but you're a bit higher intelligence like I try to not make things super shallow so you're at least looking for depth you are ahead of people in some area whether it be from what I taught you or from what someone else on YouTube taught you you have information
that you can pass down to a beginner level like very beginner level right in the form of actionable advice that's what every single person does to grow at the start YouTubers for example if you want to become a vlogger go look at a vlogger's past videos did they start with just these random Vlogs where it's like I bought a new car it's like no they taught you something they educated you and provided value relating to something from a beginner level so if they are uh mainly a health guy then they'd post it all of the
flat foundations and fundamentals of what they do to maintain their health or build muscle or lose fat or whatever it may be the same is for writing how do you get started writing what's the benefits of writing what are the foundational principles of writing what about persuasive communication right you need to dissect and understand the certain interests that you are pursuing and dish out actionable advice in the form of the fundamentals in order to grow at the start that is the content that you are going to be producing on Twitter and just be aware of
this when you're scrolling on Twitter or Instagram don't just scroll and consume the content that's the consumer mindset the Creator it he takes it he looks at it he deconstructs it why did this do so well why is this type of content performing well and if this content is performing well how am I going to take whatever it is here the essence of this post make it my own so I can also grow and play the game so that's step number one is choose a media platform and just start posting step number two is to
learn to capture attention because that is the name of the game in just this information age this idea age where there's too much information there's too many ideas everyone's trying to catch your attention but that's the thing is you have to get good at catching attention or else they're not going to read any of your stuff if you can't stop them to read your post how are they going to like your post how are they going to retweet it how are they going to comment how are they going to click on your profile to try
and find out more how are you going to catch their attention on your profile how are you going to lead that attention to your lead magnet what about your emails what about a product what about a service how are you going to guide their attention throughout all of this but the thing here is you don't have to become a sleazy used car salesman to catch attention it's like but wait there's more no you don't have to do any of that [ __ ] you just have to understand and study psychology and I'll give you a
few examples of like how to capture attention based on psychological principles so the first is problems right if you have studied marketing if you studied copywriting if you studied branding everything revolves around problems human behavior revolves around problems stories start with problems right if you start with a problem it opens a curiosity Gap and they want to figure out what the solution is right so if you can start with a problem that a relatable problem that someone is facing like if you struggle to grow your business that's just an example but a problem right it's
The Duality and the like back and forth and playing the game of problems and benefits right so what's the problem how do you overcome it what are the benefits the problem is a good way of capturing attention and this all takes practice so another one is numbers numbers like a statistic well that's the next one I want to go over but uh numbers where it's like I spent 4 500 hours studying this so you don't have to here's what I learned right something like that numbers especially on Twitter or even other platforms where it's very
text heavy or image heavy it's just a different thing it's a pattern interrupt that catches someone's attention and then the next thing is statistics so 99 of people say they regretted something before they died how do you avoid this right so you can see how that kind of leads into something else but you're you're better off studying um copywriting for this like sales copywriting or persuasive copywriting you can get my two-hour writer course I go over all of this in so much more depth it's it's like it's so hard to go over in this video
that's why I created a course but that will give you everything you need to know if you want something else to study for free look up Ada Aida copywriting framework that'll give you that's a very basic one but it's very useful especially for tweets um Pastor p-a-s-t-o-r that is also a copywriting framework that is more along form that will help you write like Instagram captions emails sales Pages landing pages all of this other stuff and give you like a structure of the sales process that's another thing you can research is the sales process so we've
chosen a media platform we understand that we have to learn how to capture attention the next thing is to treat yourself as your ideal reader if you watch the last video on the one person business model you know that I'm very big or trying to create something out of this I'm trying to come up with a term if you can think of a term for this I've thought of like mental monetization the business of self one person business is good but that's kind of broad there's nothing specific that's like I'm turning myself into a business
I'm productizing myself I want a name for that but that's just the thing while you are your brand you are your content you are whatever I want you to treat yourself as your ideal reader your writing or creating value for yourself both your past self where you're giving them advice on how to to overcome problems faster or you're just like giving them encouragement you remember uh like if you can sit back and contemplate and think this is very big for Value creators is Solitude and thinking and free Thinking by going on walks listening to what
you want to listen to contemplating self-reflecting all of that stuff because when you self-reflect and you remember that you were in a low place in life then you can write to that person you can create for that person where you are saying like this is like a Cheesy motivational example but it's like hey man I know you're in a hard place I know you can get past this just keep doing what you're doing it's a Cheesy aspect but if if you were like I remember when I didn't understand this thing in marketing and now you
understand marketing then give them advice like here are the the five marketing principles that you need to understand catching attention creating value whatever it may be and then you list them off and that's how you can start creating content and you can also do it to your current self if you're going to through a hard time right now then give yourself advice tell yourself what to do to overcome that and other people will benefit from it right this is a great way of just like personal growth in general I mentioned in the last video that
business and writing and content creation is my method the is my tool as opposed to like meditation for self-actualizing and self-transending and then you can so on the flip side if you're not in a bad place right now if you're in a very good place and things are going well then tell people why tell yourself why it's going well and reinforce that in your own head write to yourself to reinforce your own good behavior and to try and fix your bad behavior then you can also write to your future self of like give them uh
encouragement to keep going or something like that you get the point so in essence you treat Twitter or even just social media in general as your public Journal you treat it as your public note taking software you treat it as your public journal and you treat it as your public school for other people so the fourth thing we understand we chose media platform capturing attention writing to ourselves but now you have to prioritize depth and Clarity because so many people just get trapped they get trapped in the social media rat race right they get out
of the corporate Rat Race for the social media Rat Race where they're just so focused on growth they're so focused on oh I have to write this kind of content in order to grow and that's true to an extent you do have to grow and you do have to kind of shut your ego off and provide value to those that actually need it even though you think you're too above that level of knowledge but the other thing is that you need to actually you have to write you have to write and dissect and create depth
behind the things that you're truly passionate about because that is how you become an expert so I recommend starting a newsletter right everyone should if you don't have an email list you're just gonna be screwed you're going to be absolutely [ __ ] if your social media platforms get taken down they can't take emails away from you email marketing don't let any limiting beliefs or whatever like oh nobody checks their emails and it's like no they do people are making seven figures from email lists alone uh you have to test it out and experience it
to know for yourself but for now start an email newsletter right I go over this into our writer again my writing course and just content creation course but for the newsletter this has been the biggest game changer for me in my business is one noting all of these things so I I told you about the seven days to genius ideas challenge where you kind of pick that Golden Nugget of information that you picked up from researching your obsessions and then you write that down and then as you're writing those down you have building blocks for
the newsletters right so you take a topic that you want to write about you dissect it with my framework where you break it into goals benefits perspectives topics whatever and then you start piecing together a newsletter and you start making connections right now if you want to get very spiritual um actualize.org he actually has a clip it's called love is connection so love not the the uh not the ooey gooey modern notion of love but like love for like Selfless Love right Selfless Love for everything is connection it's finding that shared perspective it's connecting the
dots and seeing how reality moves together and that's really what has changed the game for me with my newsletter it's like I study neuroscience and I study philosophy and I'm like these are saying the same things how can I put this together in a newsletter and that forces me to be able to articulate these things this is what's helped me so much with YouTube videos is that my thoughts are actually clear now because I'm taking notes on things I'm dissecting them I'm fleshing them out I'm writing them in my own words I've been writing for
a long time so that's another advantage of mine but then I'm able to articulate things just so much better like you go and watch a YouTube video from even six months ago let's say like eight months ago they were nowhere near this level of just articulation like it can happen that fast if you then dedicate yourself to creating valuable long-form content and opting out of the short form content Rat Race while still maintaining that and systemizing that so you can grow but most of the value and sales are going to come from nurturing your audience
in your newsletter and then that newsletter can be taken and turned into a YouTube video a podcast or really however else you want to deconstruct it because you're creating all this value and then you can turn certain points into tweets and all of this other stuff so the gist of it is is that becoming a value creator that may be my name for all of this becoming a value Creator is a very viable and purposeful career path I feel like I've been working towards becoming this myself for my entire life and I just didn't know
what it was um or that it was a possibility or other things like that and it really is if you stick it out and you stay consistent and you're not going to know what you're doing for majority of the time I still don't know what the [ __ ] I'm doing it's like yeah I'm in a much better place financially mentally and physically but it's not like you have a vision for your future which is important it's not like you have a vision for your future and then you get there one day and you're like
I achieved it all it's like nope we're you feel the same I'm in the same human body I have the same human senses and perceptions and I'm just at a better place I'm much more calm um I'm much more stable I'm not acting out of survival as much and I I really attribute a lot of that to just writing and creating value not only for myself but for others and having everyone benefit from it and it's been such like a personal growth journey in itself so I would recommend that I would say try it out
right as as with the obsession things like try it out stick out that initial like period where you don't know what you're doing right because when you start playing a game and if you don't have an instruction manual and you don't know how to play the game it's not going to be fun so you eventually pick it up you pick up on it so give it two weeks give it a month and then see if you become obsessed with it because you probably will you'll you'll see that first Spark of growth and you'll be like
oh [ __ ] this is possible and then you'll just double down Double Down double down and eventually three years later you'll be at close to 500k to a million followers across platforms so truly grateful for all of you that are here we recently passed 10K we passed 10K on YouTube I'm so stoked because YouTube is different YouTube is I'm dragging on here but YouTube is very special to me it's very special to me it's something I've been putting in work into for a long time uh compared to other social media platforms that hasn't grown
nearly as much because I want to I want it to be one of those things where I can provide like the most value and like like aha moments and mindset shifts imaginable so if I've done that for you one thank you for being here I wouldn't be able to do that if that relationship wasn't there so that connection wasn't there so I love you guys and to end the video check out the links in the description seven days to genius ideas challenge to our writer course modern Mastery Community power planner all of that good [
