Where's Your Ambition?

Not sure about what you want to write about?

Use the BLiP approach:

Build | Learn in Public

Even if you don’t know what you’re doing initially, everyone loves a good story that has a progression and a transformation involved…

So why not do it for yourself?

You’re the hero of your journey after all, and some of the coolest people I’ve met on X do this to great effect!

Here’s how I plan to use it for my own process.

As some of you out here may know by now, I’m in the process of putting something together to guide creators through making their first videos.

Those who are adamantly opposed to it have every right to be reluctant of course. Most people turned to X as a writing platform.

There are plans out of our hands to change that.

The ambition of X is to become the “everything” app for the West (similar to how Line and Wechat are for Asia).

While writing is still the main medium, video is going to be more prominent over time.

I enjoy making videos and plan to help others get started, but this is only the beginning of my long-term plans.

It’s been awhile since I shared it, but this newsletter will be more focused on showing how I’m building my social media distribution.

• X is the idea validation platform for writing, video, and combinations of the two in different ways

• YouTube is the short and long-form platform for video

• LinkedIn is the more professional side of writing and video that is more medium and long-form content

• Beehiiv and Medium are for newsletters and deeper educational content

• Facebook/Instagram/Threads is where validated ideas can be transplanted without too much repurposing

In the long-term, this is the system I will be building out and sharing using the BLiP method.

I have a feeling that the social media landscape is going to be very different by the end of the decade…probably in many more ways than we can anticipate even now.

I plan on sticking around to find out. I’ve dug too far to back out now!

The Takeaway

So to recap…

• BLiPping into a new structure (but hopefully one that’s fun and more valuable)

• Video is going to be something I offer to help others through as I hone my skills in this area

• Social media content distribution systems are the focus of my overall strategy in the long-term

I don’t have any idea what I’m doing most of the time.

I’m here to inspirate.

Here’s this week’s actionable exercise:

What’s your grand vision for your own aspirations?

It doesn’t have to be anything crazy, but it does help for it to be a bit of a stretch!

This is the final exercise in expanding the possibilities.

Thought of the week:

An Inspirator keeps the big picture in mind but executes on the details.

This is one of those days where I feel like I’m randomly diving down into different rabbit holes…
