I went from losing followers to +140/week.
How?
Well to be honest man…
This was all I did:
—————★—————
1/ I made my content fun
—————★—————
First thing I changed?
I swapped mundane lessons…
For my own fun story:
➼ Changed ‘how to’ to ‘how I’
➼ Gave updates on my business
➼ Shared my goals/plans/systems
And the result?
People had reason to read my posts.
——————★——————
2/ I kept them coming back
——————★——————
Now that I had attention…
I needed reliance.
Here’s how I created it:
➼ Gave short form tips
➼ Shared random insights
➼ Wrote long form breakdowns
And swapped ‘how to’ for ‘how I’
Because no one wanted a guru…
They only ever wanted help.
—————★—————
3/ I became a champion
—————★—————
The next thing I noticed:
All the top creators…
Created that winning feeling.
So to copy them, I:
➼ Flexed wins every day
➼ Grinned in all my selfies
➼ Made all my posts upbeat
And just like I planned…
I became a champion of X
—————★—————
4/ I showed my human side
—————★—————
And the final hack:
If I wanted people to follow?
I had to become relatable
So I shared my:
➼ Beliefs
➼ Experiences
➼ Likes/dislikes
Without cracking jokes 24/7
And the result?
I had authority AND relatability
—————★—————
BONUS: I simplified it all
—————★—————
(didn't expect more huh?)
When I learnt all this stuff
I couldn’t remember half of it
So?
I built a system to do it for me:
➼ Win post 4x/week
➼ Long form 3x/week
➼ Build in public 3x/week
➼ Personality post 2x/week
➼ Value short form 2x/week
And voila!
My growth became automatic
—————★—————
Made it this far? Legend!

I hated my business for 5 months:
Now? Work feels genuinely fun every day
But here’s the thing…
The one thing I change?
Was writing 1 tiny notion doc:
———❖———
Which included:
———❖———
1/ My paradise
2/ My #1 enemy
3/ How to go from 2 → 1
4/ How I could use my biz to do so
Now I know it doesn’t seem like much
But this alone?
Had me:
➼ Excited to work every single day
➼ Making 5x the personal growth
➼ Desperate to help others get the same results
Long story short…
This practice alone gave rise to my whole brand
So let’s get into it
(but a quick note first: 1-3 are fairly mainstream, #4 is where it gets REAL exciting)
———❖———
0/ Preparation
———❖———
Don’tttt worry
I just want you to:
1/ Open up a notion doc
2/ Add 4 headings (1 for each step above)
3/ Come back over to this post
NOW let’s start:
———❖—————
1/ Find your paradise
————❖————
‘Paradise’ might sound super grand
But to be honest?
This is all it means...
Ask yourself:
- ’Where would I live?’
-’What activities would I do?’
- ’What activities would I do?’’
- ’What would I spend my time on?'
- ’What kind of people would I talk to?’
- ’How would I feel throughout the day?’
- ’What do I want my daily life to look like?’
And describe your perfect day step-by-step
(the more detail you give, the more motivation you’ll get for your biz)
Now I know that seems like a lot
But dude?
Going into depth with these questions is the sole reason i fell back in love with my business
Your choice.
————❖————
2/ Create an enemy
————❖————
Now that you’ve got your dream life down
Let’s flip it around:
What’s the exact opposite of all you just wrote?
- The activities you hate
- The 9-5 you’d have to work all day
- How shit you’d feel the whole time
- Every terrifying detail of this day-to-day life
- The kind of people you can’t bear to be around
Again…
More detail here = more motivation to make your biz work
————❖————
3/ Open up a path
————❖————
Here comes a truth bomb
You’re not at #1
And if you don’t make this biz work?
You’ll fall into #2
SO
If you wanna actually build the life you want?
How specifically will you go from #2 to #1?
- Who will you talk to
- How will you improve
- What skills will you learn
- What habits will you build
- How will you learn to think
- What actions will you take
- Who will you get help from
- What will you spend time on
- What knowledge will you learn
Whewwww that’s a lot
But it does not get more practical than that
Anyway…
That shit was all boring
So here’s the REALLY fun part:
—————————❖—————————
4/ Build the biz of your fucking dreams
—————————❖—————————
Now THAT is a killer title
Anyway here’s how:
1/ Build your business around the steps from #3
…
Yeah that’s it.
But thats not very clear,
So here’s some more detail:
If you want your biz to be the most exciting thing in your life
It has to be 100% aligned with your ideal life
which means?
You’ll use it to teach others how to go on the same journey as you:
- How to avoid your #1 enemy
- How to reach your paradise
And all the:
- Skills
- Ideas
- Habits
- Friends
- Actions
- Systems
- Improvements
They’ll need to do so,
Aligning your:
- ICP
- Service
- Content
With helping others on this journey as much as possible
Now I know this looks complex
And it is.
But after a couple weeks?
It becomes automatic
So for now? Just:
1. Chase your dream
2. And teach others how to achieve that same dream
Simples.
And if you wanted a reminder on the benefits of all this?
Here it is:
- Create your life’s work
- Become proud of your service
- Feel fulfilled by helping people
- Feel excited about sharing value
- Every task is fun cos it helps you to your vision
As well as:
- You talk about what you love
- So you gotta learn more about it
- And implement the new ideas so you don’t feel like a fraud
And make 5x more personal growth as a result
Sounds too good to be true?
Good.
You’ve finally grasped the power of an authentic brand.
That’s all
