My 10 Year Overnight Success
This post has two parts. The first is a lesson - that if you're making anything (especially content) it's best to use it to the fullest extent.
Different people hear about things in different ways and even like to read, listen, and watch differently. So a podcast should be shared as a written post, videos can be transferred to audio in some cases, and emails become scripts for podcasts.
You've done the work, now use it in as many ways as possible!
Part two is a story. It's my story of the past 10 years... my "overnight success" to becoming a full-time creator. Here are a few highlights...
