Before we dive in: I started posting on Substack!: I’ll be sharing more long form content there combined with my short form stuff from X. So if you’re looking for a one-stop shop, it’s a good spot (although these emails are the priority). Would love to connect: FIND ME ON SUBSTACK Last week, I recorded a 35-minute video sharing an overview of my business. (There’s a link at the bottom of this page.) Over 200 people downloaded it on social media. But as I scrolled through the replies I read...

As a dentist, it was my dream to travel the world as a writer. But as an entrepreneur, I’ve struggled with the dance between focus and freedom. When work feels like play, sitting in your flat 7 days a week has its own allure. The better business has gone, the more travel has scared me. What if I fall behind? What if I get lazy? So last month, I set out to mainland Europe to run an experiment: Can I build my writing business whilst exploring the world? Here are 3 observations (and a big...

How to build your online brand and business from scratch Magnetic Writing. How to build your brand and business by writing online The difference might seem minimal, but the vibe is completely different. One is focused on beginners who have zero clue what they want to do (like me as a dentist). The other for people passionate about building a writing-first...

I gave a live call to Justin Welsh’s private community last week. Funny story: I was visiting a friend a few months prior and explained proudly that I was giving this training. She replied, asking if I was getting paid for it. I wasn’t. I felt embarrassed because my friend gets paid well to give training. But I asked Justin if I could give the talk. My monkey-mind kicked in—feeling small by comparison. “If I was a better writer maybe he would’ve contacted me,” I thought to myself later....
