5 Unexpected Ways Writing Every Day Can Lead To Massive Personal Growth
Writing and publishing every day has changed my life.
Answering one question every day for a year on Quora led me to quit my 9–5 job as a junior copywriter, become a Premium Ghostwriter, and build my ghostwriting agency to 7 figures in revenue. It led to networking opportunities and ultimately put me in touch with Dickie Bush (my co-founder) and the creation of Ship 30 for 30. And all of this came from making that small (but important) commitment to myself.
And for Dickie, it was writing every day for 30 days on X which changed his life.
After writing a thread a day for 28 days straight (and not seeing any results), Dickie almost gave up. But his 29th thread went viral (a curation of Balaji Srinivasan’s thinking about technology, inflation, the future of cities, and a ton more). It racked up over 1,000 likes, got retweeted by Naval, and Dickie was quickly having conversations with people he looked up to on X.
This led to his first ghostwriting client and, ultimately, the creation of Ship 30 — and the rest, as they say, is history.
It’s so easy to point to these “tangible” benefits of writing. People tend to focus on the networking and business opportunities.
