The Method To Failing Your Way To Success ( With An Object That Every Kid Has On Their Desk)
Imagine you're a tightrope walker…
Imagine you're a tightrope walker…
Suspended 100 Feet above the ground with only a balancing pole to keep you steady.
Your goal? Get to the other side alive.
Except one thing…
If you make one mistake, your career is officially over.
How anxious would you feel knowing the stakes are so high? pun intended ;)
How careful would you be knowing there’s no turning back?
The answer:
You’d be extremely cautious!
Now imagine, you have a safety net below you.
This safety net records all the places you fell and the positions you fell in.
The soft cushiony material protects you from breaking your bones and lets you practice with EASE.
Better yet?
This safety net helps you PREDICT where your common mistakes are. Like magic.🧙
But Here’s the problem…
A majority of people are living their lives without a “safety net”.
They’re eye-balling their future.
They’re leaving things to chance.
They're hoping things turn out fine if they just YOLO their way through goals.
In other words?
They don’t have a tool that helps them reflect on their mistakes, and plan for the future.
The solution?
JOURNALING!
I know. I know.
Not the sexy answer you hoped for— BUT I have a secret surprise for you at the bottom😉
Here’s the thing:
If you aren’t sitting down regularly to record your thoughts, you’re most likely living life on auto-pilot.
And when you leave things to auto-pilot, you get auto-pilot results.
Here’s my short-cut to journaling:
The 3 levels to Journaling For "Success"
Writing to clarify present thinking. 👉 How am I currently? 🎁
Writing to plan for the future. 👉 How can I achieve my goals? 🔮
Reflecting on patterns 👉What do I notice after reading my entries? 📈
If you hit all 3 of these past, present, and future in your journal you’ll be miles ahead of the competition.
Happy Lunar New Year Folks 🧧 see you next week!

Quick updates on the AI Writing Guide « Thread🧵
After interviewing and talking to many writers I realize not many have any experience with AI writing. So I’ve been adjusting all the content to make it as simple as possible.
I only need to add in the “advanced” sections and some ChatGPT prompt pictures for users to read.
I realize this might be the most comprehensive guide for beginner writers on the internet… and I don’t know how I should promote it 🤔
Here’s quick excerpt:
