Stop using big words in your writing. I'm guilty of this too. But we should strive for clarity. Don't make people guess at your meaning. A little literary flourish is okay every now and then. Just don't do it all the time. Keep it simple.

Negatives are powerful. I like to set goals based on what I don't want. I don't want to be fat. I don't want to work till I'm 70. I don't want to regret not doing more. Use negative emotions to drive positive actions. What don't you want for yourself?

Heard a new term yesterday: 'Infobesity' Here's how I define it: The over consumption of learning materials as a form of procrastination. Often accompanied by a deceptive feeling of accomplishment. Don't fall prey to infobesity. Make real progress. Take action.

Learning can be painful. Last week I practiced with Unity and: - I felt stupid. - I wasted time. - I made mistakes. But it was worth it. I ventured outside my comfort zone and expanded it. And now I have a new skill. Allow yourself to feel uncomfortable. It's how you grow.

It finally arrived! Got my new Kindle today and set it up. I've been waiting on this for days and I'm so excited to have one now. I love the feel of an actual book, but the Kindle is just so damn convenient. Didn't expect it to be this small though.

Went and saw Oppenheimer yesterday. It was a great story, but I was more interested in the physics than anything else 😂 I love learning about how the universe works. Know any good books on the subject?

In a creative slump? Touch grass. As writers, we often spend far too much time in front of the computer. Try going outside to get the creative juices flowing: - Go for a walk - Climb a mountain - Wrestle a bear, idc (please don't) Sky's the limit.

Life is a maze of choices. I wish we could do everything we wanted. But time is limited. You have to choose what to dedicate yourself to. And it doesn't seem fair. How do you pick just one thing to pursue? The trick is to do one thing at a time. Not one thing forever.

Fellow bookworms: How do you approach your TBR backlog? It seems no matter how hard I try, the list keeps getting longer. There are just too many good books out there. Is there any hope of catching up? Somehow I doubt it 😅

Originality is overrated. It's rare to come across a truly original idea anymore, and even if you do, that doesn't mean it's any good. The best you can do is throw a personal twist on those tried and true ideas. We all stand on the shoulders of giants here. You can too.

Annie Nelson lost 65k followers and 2 years of work overnight. She: - Had no control of her platform (LinkedIn) - Had no method of acquiring emails - Had no other large social profiles Luckily, LinkedIn gave it all back. But she almost lost it all. Own your audience.

Stop using discounts for lead magnets. Sure, they work (sometimes), but they: - Make you look cheap - Instantly reduce your income - Lower the perceived value of your product Offer people real value instead. Educate them.

I've been reading 'Mindset' by Carol Dweck. It taught me that a fixed mindset keeps you from: - Trying to improve - Attempting new things - Learning from your mistakes But a growth mindset gives you the power to better yourself. Try reading her book. It's enlightening.

Why isn't your email list growing faster? You have a poor opt-in offer. It probably: - Doesn't have a dedicated landing page - Doesn't offer anything in return - Doesn't stand out Try using an Educational Email Course instead. You'll 3-4x your opt-in rate.

Everyone should be an entrepreneur. Why? Because relying on a single source of income risks your: - Financial security - Family's well being - And retirement plans Take ownership of your financial future. Start something in your free time. Diversify your income.
