The world’s most valuable skill (that anybody can learn):

Writing.

Which is why I decided to start writing online despite my busy schedule as a healthcare worker.

It was hard to hit “publish”:

  • No time
  • No expertise
  • Possibly a waste of effort

But writing online changed my life:

Since starting 2yrs ago, I’ve:

  • Built 14K Medium followers
  • Connected w amazing creators •
  • Posted atleast 3 tweets everyday
  • Written 200k+ words on the internet
  • Attracted money-making opportunities

Here’s a 5 dead-simple process (that anybody who’s busy) can stick to:

Dedicate time

I never had time before because:

  • I spend 8+ hours at work
  • I’m tired by the time I get home
  • I still think about work when I’m home
