I'm from Germany.
One thing I like about my people?
They always get to the point (fast)—clear and direct language.
Your writing should do the same.
When I entered my 30s, I feared my best days were gone.
But the older (and greyer) I get, the more I realize:
Your best days are always still ahead.
It’s a matter of perspective.
When I started writing on 𝕏, I feared my friends would find out.
Today, most of them know.
They either think it's cool or don't care.
Please:
Don't let fear of judgment hold you back.
I wrote stuff on the toilet that went viral.
I wrote stuff for 3 hours that fell flat.
Listen:
You never know what will take off.
Keep posting.
My native language isn’t English.
Believe it or not but for more than 6 months, this was my excuse to not post on 𝕏.
Silly me.
But then I realized nobody cared as much as I did.
Sometimes the mind is your own worst enemy.
Don't let it fool you.
A friendly reminder that other people desperately seek the knowledge inside your head.
It’s your duty to share it with the world.
As a teacher, I used to follow the curriculum.
As a writer, I now follow my curiosities.
The best thing about building online is you can learn while helping others on the same path.
My DM inbox is a nightmare.
Here's what I see:
• Bros call me bro (although I’m not their bro)
• Obviously, my posts would 'explode if they had more exposure'
• Strangers love sharing their 'secret system' to close high-ticket clients
What a freak show.
I love writing online.
Whether it's impacting 1000s of people with 1 single idea. Turning my chaotic thoughts into order. Or connecting with like-minded people.
There's no better skill to learn.
I see one common mistake with many new writers:
They can’t describe their ideal reader:
• Pains
• Desires
• Interests
• Demographics
• Psychographics
If you don’t know who you serve, you won't attract the right people.
Clarity is key.
I see few people who share their vulnerabilities.
But when you talk about your flaws and failures?
It's a great way to stand out.
(just don't cry in public)
I’ve never regretted going on a walk.
Gives you peace, clarity, and inspiration.
Stuck?
Put on your shoes and step outside.
Don't look for content ideas on your timeline.
Instead, find inspiration from books, podcasts or conversations.
What you consume is what you create.
I’ve been writing every day for the past 2 years.
Here are my 2 biggest takeaways:
1/ Writing online unlocks life-changing opportunities
Whether it’s:
• Getting invited to speaking gigs
• Attracting clients to your business
• Connecting with people you look up to
I’ve achieved all of the above (and more) just by publishing content every day.
2/ You’ll outperform your competition by not quitting
I’m not exaggerating when I say that 95% of the people I started with in June 2023 have quit.
It’s sad, but also encouraging:
The longer you play the game, the more you gain.
• A stronger reputation
• More business opportunities
• A library of content you can repurpose
But above all, you get to meet like-minded people.
People like you.
So thanks a ton for your support—whether it’s engaging with my content, chatting in the DMs, or talking on Zoom.
Here’s to many more years of building together.🥂
Give me a great book for 30 minutes and I'm fueled with ideas.
Let me scroll the timeline for a minute and my brain feels fried.
Reminder to self:
If you feel stuck, you’re probably overcomplicating things.
Find ways to simplify.
Writing tip:
The sooner you tell your readers what’s in for them, the easier you can hold their attention.
Here’s one simple way:
Use the word “you” early on.
See?
Friendly reminder that many people still struggle with the same problem you already solved for yourself.
Teach what you know.
