How to Consistently Accomplish 100x More Results With 1/10th Your Usual Effort
In the first 4.5 years of my writing, I accomplished practically nothing. After 54 months, I had 180 subscribers, I averaged 50ish views/day, with no income, no influence, and, frankly, no hope.
At the time, I was writing frantically and sporadically, posting several times a week for months on end. I was pitching guest posts to every single blog I could think of. I was reaching out to other bloggers, podcasters, authors (I once sent an actual letter to a best-selling author asking to connect — he sent an email saying thanks, but he was too busy).
I thought more action was the answer. So I doubled down on action, again and again — I was always doing “more.” But after 54 grueling months, “more” hadn’t helped.
But around year 5, I changed my beliefs. I began carrying myself as an elite writer. For the first time, I began to genuinely believe I had what it took. I shifted my focus from action to “mindset.”
The results? To name a few:
- 20,000+ new email subscribers in 6 months
- 200,000+ views/month average
- I was offered my first traditionally-published book deal
- I began making $1000’s of dollars in writing income from 2 new online courses
