Don't just write. Review your content. Package it up. And reformulate it into long-form, signature content. If you thoughtfully share content on social media, you'll be shocked at your content library. It's the first thing I tell anyone thinking about writing a book, creating a course, or producing an article series for their blog. Self-curation is wholly underappreciated in todays "always creating content" world. #motivation #inspiration #content

All right brother u have triggered me again with your brilliance. I’ve said in response to ur past posts that as writers we have to just allow the pen to bleed. Let it find the nooks and crannies of hidden thoughts and angles that sit protected by fear and self protection. The challenge of self curation lies in our inability to escape from smelling our own gas. The mirror resembles more of a fun house than reality when I return to drafts of simple written excellence. LOL Or too often for others they self sabotage the process into the nearest trash can. So again. Whoever tells the story best wins however content without presentation is just as dead as presentation without content. We chase being compelling and relevant for all when we should currate for few. When u speak to all u speak to none however when u speak to one u speak to all. Soooo…to close this rant. Never self curate while the pen is bleeding. Pull the pieces together that initially seemed lost but now become bridges to the larger picture! It’s in this moment that the miracle of writing becomes reality. Keep shining my friend. You help all of us find our way. LFG!!!

Content creation can sometimes seem insignificant when you aren't paying attention. But often, we are writing a book without even knowing it!
