Excellence is nothing but an intolerance for mediocrity - Dickie Bush

Every early writer struggles with impostor syndrome.

They ask “Why me?” unsure if anyone will care what they say.

Simple fix: flip the question around.

Ask “why not me?” or “why anyone else?”

This unlocks a whole new perspective.

Don't cut words to make your writing shorter.

Cut words to reduce friction for the reader.

As a writer, you're competing with TikTok and Netflix.

So the easier it is to read, the more likely the reader is to stick around.

How to successfully learn nothing:

• Ignore the fundamentals.
• Study the latest tips and tricks.
• Don't waste your time reading.
• Build shallow, broad knowledge.
• Listen to all the newest books that come out.
• Become a master of planning but skip execution.
