Its because I underestimated one crucial thing.
๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ง๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด.
How do I improve this?
โ DM.
โ Engage.
โ Comment.
That's it.
My progress on X so far:
โน134 friends.
โน2,282 posts.
โน12 newsletter subs.
โน4+ communities joined.
I never would have believed in myself.
That I'd make it this far if I stopped one of those days.
I did a case study on
@theseancanela
when he had 648 followers and his growth has been astounding ever since.
Here's another one to commemorate Sean who's about to hit 2k soon.
And how you too can STAND OUT.
THREAD ๐งต
Commenting is ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ฆ.
You get:
โข Stream of possible connections.
โข Diverse perspectives.
โข Genuine voices.

It is truly an underrated source.
A literal ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
Out of tweet ideas?

New year, new me.
4th month is about to kick in now.
Still the old "you?"
No worries.
Why? Because,
Failure is part of the process.
And you still have 8 months to lock in.
โ To go all in and make it happen
โ To learn from your failures
โ To rebuild yourself
Don't stop
How to be an excellent writer?
โข Write what you do.
โข Write what you love.
โข Write what you learn.
โข Write what you think.
It doesn't have to be a 9-hour course to master it.
Your life is like seeing through dusty glasses.
It's unclear. You are in disarray.
To ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฆ and ๐ฃ๐ฆ where you want,
You have to have:
โข Clear intention.
โข Clear direction.
โข Clear action.
It's about clarity.
Keep your mind straight and your thoughts organized.
Doom scrolling is k*lling you.

I now:
โ Comment and engage 20mins/day.
โ Interact with as many accounts.
And these to use mindfully:
โ Search for ideas.
โ Look for inspiration.
โ Learn new information.
Productivity is misunderstood.
You don't always need a grand 3-hour morning ritual to be productive.
Just do what works for you.
Anything which brings you to focus more.

It's not about winning with the least struggle and effortless means.
It's about sacrificing a part of your comfort and time.
It's about long-term benefits.
If you deserve sh*t. Then,
You deserve struggle.
Pain makes you stronger.
X is a huge WASTE of time.
If you spend time watching OF models and scrolling memes till Africa.
It isn't when you:
- Share valuable tips.
- Make friends.
- Teach.
- Learn.
Be grateful for your choices.
You've avoided great opportunities.
But also,
Great tragedies.
Be grateful to God.
Who has been
Protecting you all the time.

3 weeks in, and only 0 ----> 400
Sorry. A typo. 40
But I get it.
It's always hard in the beginning.
Everyone faced the same situation.
Which is why I will show up each day.
Prove my negative self wrong.
Until the 400 is not a typo anymore.
I've been doing it wrong.
Personal brand is not another profit idea.
Nor is it about competing with others.
It's about:
- Defining yourself.
- Expressing thoughts.
- Building a credible profile.
- Being known for being you.
- Unravelling more opportunities.
Think again
๐ ๐ณ*๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฝ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต.
I couldn't achieve my goals.
And I took time lightly.
I promised myself I won't waste more time again.
And to not take it lightly.
Therefore,
I came up with new goals for April:
โ Restart email newsletter.
โ 350 followers.
โ Rebrand.
Life is a race.
We're too obsessed with winning
And forget the essence of losing.
We're too focused on other's track
And less on our own.
We're too afraid of losing
And we'll never break limits.
Life is a race for losers.
Winners?
They never consider it a race.
I have 221 friends today.
I had 0 when I started.
I write every day today.
I wrote 0 before I started.
I know a ton about writing now.
I knew nothing before I started.
Start today.
Why do creators tell you to express ๐๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ฅ?
Because people remember you for two reasons only.
Its when you:
โ Make them laugh.
โ Make them cry.
People love comedies and tragedies.
How I commit myself to do better each day?
โ Read my mission statement every morning.
I write a short personal & powerful message
on the top of the page of my goals-
And read them each morning.
I am then:
โพ Exhilarated
โพ Reminded
โพ Obsessed
That's my secret.
The ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ก rule of life is simple.
Action ----> Yes/No result.
No action ----> No result.
Nothing can come out of ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
Do it even if it yields bad results.
It won't rain bad results every day.
Turn your NOTHING into SOMETHING.
How would you like to imagine yourself 5-10 years from today?

โณ Asking choice-based questions.

No matter how important the grind is-
I would ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ sacrifice a family dinner's worth of time for it.
'Cause they're my no.1 priority.
Enjoy time with your family today. If you have been avoiding it.
They won't be there forever.
๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ?
With pain or pleasure?
With good or bad principles?
Following passions which you love?
With deep values for your loved ones or not?
Take this moment to be mindful of your life.
You are important.
It's a ๐ด๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ process, but ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ต๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ won't speed it up.
You are after the world.
The world isn't after you.
Trust the process.
Trust the timing.
How I escaped the loneliness sh*thole.
I've discovered and realized that,
Those who set their path on achieving their dreams--
Are always alone.
In solitude.
And that was the main aspect of their victory.
A taste of reality that ๐ป๐ผ one can save you but YOU.
Playing it safe is cool.
You're always in the safe zone.
Earning average points and living normal lives.
However-
It is never as cool as taking risks.
Where you lay more stakes on the line.
To get more from how much you bet.
That's what growth means.
To take more RISKS.
You are a ๐๐ข๐ข๐.
You expected growth -
Follows and impressions overnight.
While not selflessly giving to people.
Neither engaging nor making friends
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ .
The principle of "Give and Take" is eternal.
Give first, then take.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ .
I don't see any growth.
"๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ช ๐ฅ๐ฐ, ๐๐จ๐บ๐ฆ๐ฏ?"
You might as well:
- Engage more than you nut.
- Read creator ebooks.
- Experiment tweets.
- Join giveaways.
- Make friends.
- Join groups.
Keep trying
Most hardest part about self-improvement?
Every day in the mirror
You will see the same mediocre YOU.
You won't see any results for weeks.
You find it easier to quit.
The best part?
Strength
More you suffer, the more you want to become better.
And, you become stronger.
F*ck the rules.
No one decides on dictating how you live.
You are:
โ 100% responsible.
โ Have higher purposes.
โ Have the right to happiness.
Open your mind and abandon all thinking.
Stop listening to everyone.
Live life on your own accords.
I used to piss people the F out.
They would give me the eye-roll
Because I talked like a bozo with no manners.
โฃ Authoritative
โฃ Demanding
โฃ Harsh

โฃ Soft tone
โฃ Awareness
โฃ Word choice
Things became buttery smooth after that.
2020: I have a goal.
2021: I'm gonna try next year.
2022: It didn't start well. Next year it is.
2023: I'm not good enough. Definitely next year.
2024: *๐ด๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ถ๐ค๐ค๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ.
"I should have started years ago."
Start today.
Stop waiting for the perfect.
The secret to becoming the best version of you doesn't begin with:
โข Outside validation
โข Hopeless motivation
โข Quality of your thoughts.
It begins with being completely honest
With and to yourself.
The no. 1 Growth factor on X?
130+ friends and 2,190 posts taught me one thing only.
๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด.
If you saw this post today--
The algo thought we would be besties.
Go crazy in the comments.
Let's make more friends today.
You are a prisoner.
Spending countless hours.
And doing meaningless sh*t.
You're simply wasting time.
Your success online
Is measured by your personal life.
How much you work on yourself more.
Do what you love and what makes you, you.
See where that will get you.
I am ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก๐๐.
Travelled 175kms.
Walked all day long
Completely washed out
I could have slept
But I remembered my grind here.
Only to find the same 89 followers and 15+ notifs
And I am glad.
Because the grind became a habit to me.
And I got the daily the rep in.

Here are lessons from the most "๐ด๐ช๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ" creator on ๐.
Failed a post?
๐๐ต๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ข๐บ.
You'll improve.
Failed your test?
You'll improve.
Failing your life?
๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ'๐ญ๐ญ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ.
Quit stressing yourself out.
Focus on the things you ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ do.
Each failure
Is one step forward.
Be ๐ฑ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต.
It will pass.
The RELIEF of hitting a small milestone is amazing.
Woke up 42 ---> 54 followers today.
The effect is as real as it can get.
Make good friends. Build connections.
Engage like a monster.
That's all.
Congrats on graduating from the hell of inaction.
"Well, what now?"
- Read books.
- Study people.
- Learn persuasion.
- Utilize online tools.
- Explore leveraging.
- Show up each day.
Journaling is addictive.
Like drugs.
It sounds gay and boring.
But a daily dose gives you more kick than meth.
Your brain goes on "high" mode.
The best kind.
Its an escape from reality + makes you realize sh*t like HELL.
What's your excuse to trade your habits now?
You're wasting PRECIOUS time.
is what I tell myself every time I catch myself doing meaningless sh*t
What I do in my free time?
โข Open OF
โข Scroll YouTube
โข Scroll more reels
I also:
โข Read books
โข Watch paid courses
โข Engage with few accounts
How to get your words to people's brains.
โฃ Say it once.
โฃ Say it again today.
โฃ Say it again every day.
People won't remember what you said once.
But they will never forget what you preach every f**king day.
Get sh*t done.
Action breeds results
While inaction breeds none.
Take notes of mistakes.
Embrace failures.
It will suck.
But you have to do it.
Big results won't appear
Unless you do.
Writing is not a skill.
If you think carefully,
Like how birds chirp and bees make hives
Writing is something humans DO.
But, it's become more than that now.
You have to become good at it today
Not "a thing humans do."
They have become skills instead of behaviours.
I believe in stacking daily efforts.
To focus on the small steps.
To show up each day.
Closing in the gap.
It's like a puzzle.
You finish it only
When you put in
All the small
pieces.
Storytelling is paramount to engagement with your audience.
โฃ Find the RIGHT story to tell.
โฃ Put your audience in the picture.
โฃ Use descriptive language.
Use this info well.
Hard work always pays.
- Do it today.
- Do it even if you fail.
- Do it even if you don't yield results yet.
That's the essence of working hard.
You get it overnight, yes.
Only that you stack all those bad days.
Sunday, Sunday.
Why I am eager to wait for this day of the week?
โข I sit for 30mins and write goals for next week.
I write down my:
โข Priorities
โข Goals
โข Aims
For the particular week?
It's effective because I schedule for each day of the week.
Thus, I CONTROL it
GM
64 ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐ป๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ.
What you can achieve in 64 days or less,
Is not something to laugh at.
You can make the best decision of your life in 64 days.
I failed.
Because I put in half-baked efforts.
The lesson?
Give it your all.
Stop wasting time.
๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ผ ๐๐พ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ.
I discovered myself making a ton of mistakes.
Instead of writing with:
โ Authority
โ Personality
โ Authenticity
I was doing:
โ Voracious engagements.
โ Hopeless platitudes.
โ Had no systems.
Always with the trials and errors.
You can be 100 things today.
Multiple alternatives.
But you can only be
One person at a time.
Master one thing at a time.
How?
Begin with talking to yourself
Honestly.
About what you want
And how bad you want it.
The answer will start to reveal by itself.
Imagine success.
Imagine dreams.
Imagine ideals.
If you are willing to work for it.
You will realize it.
You might not get the exact image.
But you'll get closer to creating it.
Every day.
You never bloom with:
โข Outside validation
โข Hopeless motivation
โข Quality of your thoughts.
But you do with:
Being completely honest and commit yourself to do it.
Give ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐ฌ a chance.
Your unrealistc a*s won't take you.
Your dreamy fantasies won't help you.
Your expectations and delusions won't save you.
Dream big but never expect results out of fantasy land.
You can't daydream forever.
Wake up to reality.
Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming?
Imagining the life you desire and wish for?
Pair it with relentless effort.
Every single day.
Then wait for the results.
You're on your way to making it possible.
The Average Joe does not:
โฃ Replace bad habits.
โฃ Set crazy deadlines.
โฃ Schedule the day before.
โฃ Write and learn everyday.
โฃ Journal his days and progress.
The Outstanding Joe:
โฃ Does what the average Joe doesn't.
Stop ignoring your blessings.
Being able to write, hear, listen, speak, feel, walk
laugh, cry, think, taste, talk -
Are all life's biggest blessings.
You don't have to look everywhere for it.
Write your dreams.
Say it to yourself.
Say it out loud.
Say it everyday.
Verbal statements are power.
Never underestimate the power of telling yourself
the massive dreams you have.
Quit when you've had it.
The mark of a true winner
Is never a person who doesn't quit.
It's when he is able to
Distinguish important things
And knows what and when to quit.
So that he can grow more.
What you say to yourself matters.
Even when the whole world thinks different.
What you think of yourself matters.
Even when everyone has different expectations of you.
Just be you.
95% of people on X are doing it wrong.
You're failing because you're following:
โ Management first, Leadership second.
When it should be the opposite.
Decide your vision first.
Then manage the actions.

Sometimes you have to avoid pain to grow.
โข Take breaks
โข Touch grass
โข Eat with family
It was never about who can endure the most pain.
Its about going through adversity to discover how to reduce the pain.
How would you compete against 99% of creators on X?
Produce what is scarce.
Not what's in excess supply.
X is a huge marketplace.
Learn:
- How to sell yourself.
- Market demands.
- Human nature.
Learn & apply.
You have already beaten 50% of them.
One boo can destroy a thousand compliments you get.
If it only takes one boo to destroy you then you should well that this ain't the type of game for you.
GM.
Mediocre.
Is not a person who:
โข Sets obnoxious goals.
โข Has big dreams.
โข Works hard.
Mediocre is the ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ people telling you that you can't do it.
And it ๐ช๐ด you when you do quit.
People with good intentions
Are worth fighting for.
I believe
in friends who are genuine to help.
Not those who are purely driven
By making money.
Values carry more worth
Than every penny combined in the world.
