The key to making more progress than 99% of people:
Simplify the complex to first principles.

48 threads → 60k followers.
5 hook writing mistakes to avoid next time you write a story thread:
• Not having a scroll-stopping, simple first line
• Not teasing a small, pivotal moment that comes way later in the story
• Not adding a “But” / Twist
• Not having a clear, exciting angle
• Not highlighting a specific pay-off to show why they should read
• Not adding “This is [person]:” (Nah, I’m kidding ;)
If I'm honest...
Before I took a copywriting job, I couldn’t get anyone to read my posts – for 2 years.
I always thought: fuck it, I’ll do it on my own.
But then from May to September this year at Wingspan Media, I:
• Spent hours improving with client work, and
• Ghost-wrote 48 threads to take a client 0 to 60k followers.
I won’t lie – it was a long climb. A lot of learning.
But that’s when people started asking who was writing for his account.
Lesson:
Hooks that tell a specific story with a specific angle can open up a lot of opportunities for you.
Hooks that don't? They waste your time and effort.

It’s where I break down the exact hook writing and content strategy that worked for that ↑ client.
@TaylinSimmonds If given no thought, we default to what seems necessary.
But a lot of times what seems necessary now is just zapping your energy.
Because even if takes only 5 minutes...
How many other 5 minute tasks will it also lead to?
@holistic_men "Trapped in a routine that has the outcome of underperforming" 🔥
The outcomes we don't want are just bad habits we're finally paying for.
@viggofredrikson It seems obvious enough.
But then again:
Action is the last thing you want to face when you've gotten cozy living in your head.
The time will pass anyway. Why not put it to work?
@TheCoachJacob Dopamine deficiency is a bitch
Definitely feel like i've come close to it before - wild how many problems can spring up from that tired, demotivated feeling all by itself
