@FabrizioRomano Brazil lacked a lot. But someone that couldโve give them a bit of hold up and unpredictability on top wouldโve helped them big time. Not sure why they didnโt bring Gabriel Jesus.
Congrats Uruguay!
This call is AMAZING. One of the videos that convinced me to invite @justinmooretfam to the show.
Glad to see you (@jayclouse) taking action on what he shared with you. Can't wait to see what brands align with you.
I believe it was David Ogilvy who would only write for brands he was a user of.
@jayclouse Yes! This also reminds reminds me of @bjfogg and his book Tiny Habits.
The best moment to do something is when motivation is high and friction/resistance is low.
Doing something fun both increases motivation and decreases friction.
Filmmaker Sebastian Junger once said,
"Itโs not that Iโm blocked. Itโs that I donโt have enough research to write with power and knowledge about that topic. It always means, not that I canโt find the right words, but that I donโt have the ammunitionโ. h/t to @fortelabs for the quote.
People try to create from thin air. What they don't realize is that were you place your focus, your attention goes.
Consume intentionally.
Create purposefully.
The saucy CEO @retirementkeys said it best
"I don't have any video/content ideas"
It's because you have no INPUTS
Sitting in your room & generating video ideas doesn't exist. This is not how ideation works. I've NEVER sat down and "generated ideas for content". Ever. And I made 3 pieces of video content PER DAY for 8 months straight with 0 misses
You don't magically pull content ideas out of your ass. They are INSPIRED out of you by consuming SOMETHING good (tweet, podcast, book, conversation with friend, etc) with your RAS focused on your niche
The way to get ideas is to consume good ideas through the specific lens that you want ideas to be produced out of. Not sit in your room & fight against a magical "idea mechanism" that doesn't exist
I could watch a random podcast in it's entirety with the INTENT of collecting content ideas for a car mechanic page. 100 ideas
I could then watch the exact same podcast with the INTENT of getting content ideas for a sales page. 100 more ideas
You have no ideas because you're not paying attenion
I'm entering a new season with a new mantra:
SEND IT!
I don't think I use it the way the youths do...
For me, it means whenever I have a kind, grateful, or helpful thought for someone else, SEND that thought along!
Sometimes the thought of "one more task" prevents me from sending the message โ but the time commitment is so small and the potential impact is so big.
