SCT #209 -- Cookies belong on the bottom shelf!
|
Howdy Reader! Our last pastor said a number of times on Sunday morning that he was a "cookies on the bottom shelf" kind of guy. Meaning that he made the key points of his message (the cookies) very accessible. Placing the cookies lowerWith my latest offer, my Obsidian Starter Kit for Content Creators, I put the cookies a bit high-up. I hadn't set up the problem I was solving well. And people mostly didn't know what Obsidian was. Plus other reasons. For my next product, I'm going to hit some more common pain points:
A main piece of this is something I'm calling The GAS Method. Just like you step on the gas in your vehicle, The GAS Method will get your content creation up to speed. Then you can let up on the accelerator to maintain highway speeds on your creator journey. More to come! How I approach building my 5-to-9 every day1) I don't jeopardize my 9-to-5.

I'm making hard choices with what I'm doing, and being very careful what I take on. How much can be cut out? We can cut, and cut, and then cut some more. Eventually, we get to something that can't be cut anymore and still be viable. At that point, we've achieved minimalism. Things are as simple as they...
Howdy Reader! I'm back home after a great weekend with some of my awesome high-school classmates. And there were indeed lawn games at the event, haha! In an effort to focus on them and the weekend, I scheduled my content ahead of time. It's a key part of The GAS Method I've been working on. I managed to get a couple of days' worth of content ahead. Here's what I had in the hopper: Two WordPress articles Two Medium articles (basically the same as the WordPress articles) Two issues of my Solid...
