I help creators turn their knowledge into a content-led business. Share Ideas -> Attract An Audience -> Ship Digital Products
Any creator knows they live or die by their systems.
And I guess that's why so many of us are on the hunt for the perfect system. Except for most creators I speak to are either failing miserably, always tweaking their system (& never actually using it), or always on the lookout for something better.
In reality, there's probably nothing wrong with your content system.
What you need are better habits or routines that get you regularly back into the system. You can have the best system in the world, but if you don't build a habit of using it - it will just collect dust.
So here are three habits every creator should be building alongside their creator system.
Take Notice. Most of us live life on auto-pilot hardly noticing anything going on around us. Except there is so much gold in the world that is crying out for us to take notice, capture & think about. If you constantly have blinkers on, open yourself up & discover a world of possibility for content. Practically, get off your phone, take a deep breath and move.
Write & Think. Find a time everyday where you can just think & write. Not content, just ideas. Just a place to be curious, to learn, and to let your brain do what it does best - be curious & create connections.
Hit Publish Daily. I'm not talking about publishing a 2000-word article everyday. But building the habit of putting your ideas out into the world daily will speed up the rate at which you have ideas, can test ideas, stop overthinking your ideas. The discipline is good for you.
If you can build these three habits you'll need to worry much less about a perfect system.
