5 Million-Dollar Lessons I Learned As A Ghostwriter
These Completely Changed My Life
Ghostwriting changed my life.
When I quit my job at the age of 26 to go all in on “freelance writing” I had no idea I’d end up in the lucrative (and transformational) world of ghostwriting.
Since then, ghostwriting has helped me:
- Successfully quit my 9–5 job and build a multibillion-dollar network for myself.
- Move out of a rathole studio apartment, buy my first car, and disavow my former life as the cliché “poor and struggling writer.”
- Master the craft of writing and improve my skills in ways I’m not sure I could have achieved had I not spent thousands of hours practicing with other people’s voices.
But one of the most important takeaways I’ve had from ghostwriting are what I’ve learned about myself and other people.
I have ghostwritten for hundreds of startup founders, executives, and senior leaders at publicly traded companies all over the world. I have also ghostwritten for Silicon Valley venture capitalists, private equity firms, international speakers, New York Times best-selling authors, and even Grammy-winning musicians, Olympic athletes, and Bitcoin billionaires.
And through all of that, I’ve learned some very important life lessons.
