How to practice writing like a BOSSSSS
Some no-BS writing advice
Today I want to talk about the FASTEST way to become a better writer.
If you’ve spent enough time on X, you’ll know…
Writing is THE MOST valuable skill of the 21st century.
(Next to coding, but that’s beside the point).
Why is that?
Well, here are a couple of reasons you should invest A LOT of time, energy & resources in becoming a better writer:
Most content you see online is written. Even videos are usually scripted. Writing is the entire front end of the web. This means: If you want to leverage the power of the internet to make money online… you’ll need to become a great writer.
Writing allows you to communicate your value. See, there are A LOT of talented people who are struggling. The reason? They’re not communicating their value effectively. And so… they end up quacking into the void, wondering why nobody spots their talent.
Writing makes you a better thinker & communicator. You cannot be a great writer while being a sloppy thinker. The two go hand in hand. And as you probably know… being a great thinker will also lead to better outcomes (more money, more followers, more of whatever you want).
Bonus (in case you needed it): Every great thinker in history has written consistently. Think Marcus Aurelius, Mark Twain, Charles Darwin, Ben Franklin… I could move on but you get the point.
I hope that convinces you.
Writing—even with AI on the rise—is the future.
It won’t lose its value any time soon.
So…
How do you become a better writer?
Well, my fellow wordsmith, I’m glad you asked.
First off: There are MILLIONS of ways to practice your writing:
Copywork
Using frameworks
Analyzing great writing
Blah, blah, blah
But the one thing that trumps them all?
Actually fucking writing (duh).
Shocker! I know.
But it’s the truth…
The only way to actually become a better writer is to, well… write.
But there’s one specific way that has skyrocketed the quality of my writing the most.
This one way of writing will sharpen your skillset unlike any other.
What am I talking about?
Braindump Writing.
(Hey, I know this seems boring. But hear me out.)
Most mornings I sit down and simply spill my brains out in a Google Doc.
Even today—after a looong night and a grueling hangover (the first one in over a year…)—I’m writing.
The key here?
Writing with ZERO expectations.
Most mornings, this practice ends in a huge mess—a puddle of incoherent thoughts & ideas.
But sometimes (like today)...
It ends up being pretty decent. Shareable at least.
Just write about whatever you feel like and see what happens.
Don’t try to make your writing “perfect” … don’t edit it … don’t even pay attention to grammar and spelling … Just write.
I know this isn’t exactly a revelation.
Maybe it’s even a little underwhelming to you.
But I can’t stress enough how important this is.
Why?
This is a long-term investment.
See, I’m not hearty when it comes to expressing my distaste for other—low-IQ—creators that I see on my timeline every day.
Here’s why:
They are constantly looking for new ways to sign clients and make a pretty penny.
But meanwhile, forget what matters most:
PRACTICING YOUR SKILLS.
They are too fricken lazy, ignorant, or stupid to spend 30-60 minutes every day sharpening their blade.
(As the great Abraham Lincoln said: “If I had to cut down a tree… I’d… umm… damn it. You know the saying, right?)
And so…
They can only write templated content.
And call it “authentic storytelling”.
Zero creativity.
And in case their frameworks ever STOP working—spoiler: they eventually will—they are absolutely ass-fucked.
Let me be clear:
I’m not trying to bash these people
I want them to win.
(I want everyone to win. I love my fellow creators.)
But looking at what they’re doing now… they most definitely won’t.
(At least in the long run… don’t be misguided by short-term wins—which really don’t matter all that much compared to sharpening your skills.)
Instead…
They’ll fall flat on their nose and wonder: how the fuckerino did this happen???
Well, anyways…
This was my daily brain-dumping sesh.
I’m gonna get back to writing my course now.
(Btw. I want to make this course ULTRA valuable to you. So if you don’t mind… fill out this 30-second questionnaire so I can present you the solutions to your problems on a silver platter. Do it. It costs you literally 30 seconds.)
Talk soon,
Tim <3
