Tik-Tok creates some of the stickiest content on earth Attended a conference to help me understand how 👉 Make it native - know what your tribe love 👉Sell benefit in the first 2 secs (and often) 👉Simply demonstrate 'how' 👉Give a clear CTA Can apply this in so many places!

A great alternative perspective on the content tsunami we're promised will lead to success I agree with a lot of this - the course was fantastic to kick start and shape my thinking about niche It's now time to double down on finding the right tribe for the next chapter...

"One should use common words to say uncommon things" Schopenhauer, German Philisopher Our uncopyability lays not in our complexity but in our ability to simplify in a way so intuitively easy to understand that people cannot help but feel our magnetism

Love this insight. I love marketing but a lot of it is unnecessary bullshit meant to obfuscate rather than enlighten What are the 3 core principles of creating uncopyable brands that you would hold dear above all others?
"When you first study a field, it seems like you have to memorize a zillion things. You don't. What you need is to identify the 3-5 core principles that govern the field. The million things you thought you had to memorize are various combinations of the core principles." -J. Reed

Acceptance is great, rejection is OK The enemy is apathy I went to a concert. At the end half stood and cheered, half sat silent That's just fine. You can ignore those that don't care And double down on those that love what you do Life is too short to focus on the maybes

I know journalling helps capture unique stories but I don't have time! So I 'micro-journal' every day. 2 rules only 1) 5 minutes max 2) Memorable words and metaphors A recent example . 👉Snipers Alley 👉Mary & Joseph in the CBD 👉Schnitzel & broad shoulders I remember clearly!

Outsourced thinking isn't enhanced thinking Yes, AI can help you think faster, deeper and wider But when faster deeper wider is the new norm only you can unlock your uncopyability

The skills values and experiences we think make us uncopyable don't I find these 3 things set truly unique people apart 👉Fearless curiosity - they ask 'why' one more time 👉Vulnerability - they aren't scared to show who they are 👉Embrace their weird - they love a little odd
