I’ve been a full-time writer since late 2021.

The past year taught me amazing lessons about building a successful business from your passion.

Here are the 3 key lessons to make money doing what you love 🧵👇

#1 Master your self-talk to design success

When you follow your passion, you’re anxious whether it’ll work out.

But doubting yourself would lead you nowhere. Be curious about the new path instead of being afraid.

Tailor your internal talk to make room for optimism.

No one can pep you up. You have to be your own cheerleader.

You’ll feel anxious whenever you try something new.

Fool your brain into thinking anxiety is excitement.

And when you’re excited, how can you fail?

#2 Don’t fear technology. Embrace it.

Writers keep asking, “Will AI replace us?”

The question is rooted in fear.

If you worry AI might take your job, then you’re ignoring the amazing ways it can help your business grow.

These tools help me grow & monetize my business:

• Motion: create a productive schedule.

• Lightkey: type 4x faster.

• QuillBot: paraphrase original content.

• SimplifiedAI: create stunning designs and videos in seconds.

• Candor: create the most authentic profile.

• FridayAI: write 10x faster.

• Burb: helps you nurture and grow your community.

• Instaminutes: summarize virtual meetings.
