The template
Terrible advice I almost fell for:
“[Advice].”
Instead, I found a different (but unconventional) path to [Positive Outcome].
Here's the entire roadmap (from [Negative Position] to [Positive Position]):
[1-3 Sentences Explaining The Position You Were In]
[1-3 Sentences Explaining The Advice You Were Tempted To Follow]
Instead, I decided to do [Uncoventional Advice].
I recommend everyone trying to achieve [X] do the same.
Here's how to get started:
Step 1: [Step]
[1-3 Sentences Explaining The Step]
Step 2: [Step]
• [Action 1]
• [Action 2]
• [Action 3]
Once you've done this, move on to the final step:
Step 3: [Step]
[1-3 Sentences Explaining The Step]
So, if you want to achieve [X] you don't need to [Commonly Accepted Advice].
Instead, use this roadmap.
It worked for me—and I bet it will work for you, too.
