I have this habit where I read a lot of books (surprise surprise).
I do this both for my enjoyment and my daily education—that’s one of the main lessons I’ve picked up from other extremely successful writers, creators, and simply anyone whose lifestyle I admire and want to recreate (they all spend a ton of time in their day reading).
And during this daily reading, whenever I read something that tickles my fancy I like to highlight the sentence or paragraph and slap a page marker (these see-through colored type of sticky notes) on them.
This allows me to regularly flip through some books, immediately go to those pages where I highlighted interesting stuff, and reread them.
Today I opened up The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel and read this sentence:
“A good rule of thumb for a lot of things in life is that everything that can break will eventually break.”
This seemed oddly befitting my current situation.
My X account could ‘break’—and so it did.
And yours will too. I don’t know when. It might be 2 years from now. Or it might be next week. Whatever the case, let this be a reminder to be ready.
Do you have an alternate source to contact your audience?
Do you have an alternate source of income aside from hitting people up on DMs or driving traffic from X to wherever it is you make your money?
I found myself stagnating at the moment.
Yes, I do have my email list. But no it’s not growing anymore. My one and only traffic source was X. This is something life showed me. Something I hadn’t been thinking about.
And something I’m currently working on improving (hit me up if you have suggestions).
That said, if you don’t yet have an email list, aren’t able to grow it, or aren’t making money with it. Then check out Email Extraordinaire and learn exactly how to do all of those.
