Einstein called it the 8th wonder of the world:

Compounding.

But few people understand how important it is.

Here’s a 2-minute breakdown of the most powerful force in the world: Image Compounding is where the value of an investment grows because you earn interest on the interest.

Email is THE best way to grow your business.

• More sales
• Better relationships
• No algorithm problems

Learning to write changed my life.

In the past 3 years:
• 195,000 followers
• Multi-six figure business
• Amazing connections and opportunities

Here’re the 7 writing frameworks I swear by: Be the Guide, Not the Guru

Online it’s tempting to pretend to be something you’re not.

But the internet's full of experts without experience. Your audience craves connection, not content. Show instead of tell. Share instead of shout.

Much less 'How To's'

Much more 'How I's' Image

3 years ago I couldn’t make a single dollar online.

But my business took off when I started studying the master of modern marketing:

Seth Godin.

Here’re 10 ideas that helped me the most (and how to apply them in your biz): Narrow your focus.

Most creators cast their net wide to catch attention. But if you try to write to everyone, you write to no one.

Instead, get clear on your ‘One True Fan’.

Their:
• Pains
• Problems
• Desires
• Dreams

The smaller your aim the bigger the result.

Creators, you’re being lied to.

Consistency is not the secret to success.

You can’t expect to rise above the crowd by copying them.

Instead, what you need are ‘authority assets’.

Here’s how they work: If you want to build a business, attention is just one half of the equation.

Reputation is the other.

You can’t stand out online following the same plan as everyone else. Emails and social media aren’t enough.

You need a way to set yourself apart.

Most people suck at writing.

But if you avoid these 10 common mistakes, I guarantee you won't:

🧵 ❌ Not varying sentence length

You don't see what you read.

You hear it.

If every sentence is the same length, it gets boring. Fast.

Instead:
Aim for 20% long and 80% short.

Make your sentences sing. Image

Most people think ChatGPT will replace writing.

But the skill is so much more than words on a page.

Here're 7 reasons why writing is the ultimate habit for success.

🧵 Write to think.

Paul Graham once said, 'Writing doesn't just communicate ideas, it generates them'.

If you outsource your writing to a robot, you'll miss out on most of your best insights.

And with generic content on the rise, novel ideas only become more important.

3 years ago, I was a burned out dentist stuck in the rat race.

I thought I'd be trapped in my career forever...

But then I found the creator economy.

Here's how I went from drilling teeth to building a 6 figure creator business by writing online: ImageImage I hated dentistry.

But I'd spent 10 years and 6 figures on the career and couldn't see a way out.

So my plan was to work hard, save harder, and hopefully retire by 45.

I took on two jobs and worked 6 days a week...

It was a terrible idea.

I make $10k-15k/month as a creator.

I do client work for 90 minutes a week.

I've never sent a SINGLE DM for business.

And I finish 'work' by midday.

Here's how I used the 80:20 rule to achieve Digital Freedom:

🧵 Image The problem:

Most advice on Twitter is focused on money-making tactics.

But if your diary is filled with clients, you're too busy to build leverage.
