Today is my 1 year Twitter anniversary.

I built a ~20k tribe in 12 months by writing every day without exceptions,

Here's what it taught me about life.

Celebration thread:

1) All first drafts are shit

It doesn't matter how good you are,

Your first draft will never be as good as the edited version.

Same with life.

Measuring your skill by how you do on your first try tells you nothing.

2) Reps are king

I wrote 500 words in the morning for months.

English isn't even my first language.

But today I own a ghostwriting agency.

Lesson:

It's not that you're bad.

It's just that you don't have enough reps.

3) Consistency creates opportunity

By the way, those 500 words were horrible.

But listen,

If you do ANYTHING for a couple months,

Regardless of how bad you are,

There's literally zero chance you don't get eyes on you or your work.

Don't stop.

4) It's not about what you say, it's about how you say it.

Master communicators learn body language, timing, silence, delivery and tonality.

They know that words can only take you so far.

It's how you USE those words that make people remember you and your work.

5) If people don't get it, the problem isn't them. It's you.

I don't like the phrase "dumb it down".

It's insulting.

Do you blame customers for not buying or do you blame salespeople for not selling?

Sometimes the answer is simple:

Just get better.

6) You don't know when you'll get lucky.

I've written absolute garbage while listening to Mozart on my Macbook.

I've also written tweets on a napkin that got 3,000 likes.

You don't know when luck will find you.,

But you can be ready when it does.

7) Do it like nobody's watching.

When I write for many people, 1 person likes it.

When I write for 1 person, many people like it.

You'll never perform at your best if you care about who's looking.

So stop putting unnecessary pressure on yourself.

8) If you can't communicate well, you're fucked.

Communication skills are non-negotiable:

-Writing
-Speaking
-Seduction
-Selling
-Self-promotion

Take the time to cultivate these skills and they'll take good care of you.

9) There's no room for error in first impressions.

Remember the top tweet?

"10 things writing every day for 1 year can teach you about life."

If it was boring, you wouldn't have clicked.

Same with people.

Make a killer first impression or they'll forget you.

10) Anyone can do it.

These are my notebooks over the last 2 years.

Writing on 1 and 2, I was making $0 a month.

Writing on 3, $250 a month.

On 4, $1,000 a month.

On the fifth one, I had a six figure business.

English isn't even my first language,

Keep going.

nothing to promote.

nothing else to say except,

If you've ever engaged, shared, purchased or read some of my content I appreciate you more than words on a screen can describe.

Gracias familia, see you around ;)
