SoloCreator #128: Talented writers
Also, more than talent, athletes and nutrition, influential events, and more
Hi friends,
being a content creator is all about systems.
Good writing is great, but systems are what separates a good blogger from a successful one.
Agree or disagree?
We'll talk more about that in a second.
First, letās read this weekās fitting quote:
Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers. ā Isaac Asimov
#1 Main Story:
What Most Writers AreĀ Missing
Hint: Itās not talent.
Obviously, writing has something to do with talent. But letās be real, blogging online is not the same as writing a Stephen King book.
To become an online writer or blogger, talent is cool, but there are other important things.
The most successful writers are not necessarily the best writers.
Some are. Most aināt.
Iām not, thatās for sure.
What could most writers beĀ missing?
Talent? No.
Passion for writing? Maybe.
Time? Perhaps.
Luck? A little.
All of these are critical. I firmly believe, however, one additional thing is key to becoming a successful writer. Not a super rich one, or a famous one, but a productive and consistent one.
Whatās that last thing?
#2 Essay:
Surprisingly Common Nutrient Deficiencies in Athletes
Athletes have increased nutrient needs compared to non-athletes. Their intense training regimens put a lot of stress on their bodies and increase requirements for energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Despite increased needs, many athletes still have suboptimal intakes of key nutrients. Nutrient deficiencies can impair exercise performance and health.
Some common deficiencies might come as a surprise.
#3 Free stuff
This week, youāll still get my Notion template āMy Wardrobeā for free.
My Wardrobe is a pretty cool tracker for your clothes, shoes, accessories, and more. Iāve been tracking my stuff for years, and itās been a game-changer. I treasure what I own, I keep track of my expenses, I know what pieces are good or bad, and more. You should try it!
