Writing regularly is a powerful routine to build for anyone looking to build a #LifestyleMedicine Business.
Most of us start at ZERO.
—> ZERO audience
—> ZERO clarity about what we offer and who we offer it to
—> ZERO dollars made
Writing regularly is a great way to change this.
As you write more, you will slowly build your audience.
As you write more, you will refine your ideas, and generate new ones.
As you write more, your growing audience will get to know ‘you’.
As you write more, you will get feedback on what is resonating and what isn’t.
And here’s an intangible that is not talked about enough.
As you write more, you will develop CONVICTION and CONFIDENCE in your own work.
At the start, it’s normal to feel scared, insecure, and doubtful about what you offer.
As you write more, 10-100-1000 posts or articles, you will have an intrinsic confidence that you can’t point to, but you and your readers will sense.
Conviction and confidence is attractive, especially when it isn’t forced on you.
After writing for years, and writing a book (#DoHappy), I recently got a nice compliment from a cousin of mine who has been following my work over the years.
“May I say, the clarity and maturity of your writing has improved so much. It’s so obvious”.
Here’s what I suggest for any #LifestyleMedicine practitioner who is starting out
—> Write daily
—> Write IN PUBLIC
-Write short form (e.g. once a day) on social media to share and test out your ideas.
-Write long form (e.g. once a week) on your newsletter to go deeper on the topics that you and your audience care about.
If you LOVED this, SHARE it with someone you care about.
Much love to you and of course, myself.

P.S One of the most annoying and tedious things to do is SET UP a social media account and newsletter.
Which platform should I use?
What info do I put on my profile?
What picture do I use? Do I need a professional one?
I spent an hour this morning pretending to be a complete beginner. I tried to set up a newsletter from scratch and immediately remembered how painful this stuff is to set up.
I am working on a tutorial for people to set up their newsletter (and website landing page) in LESS THAN AN HOUR.
Everything you need, without the fluff you don’t need.
If you are interested, CONTACT me below with the subject line ‘NEWSLETTER’ and I will send it to you when it’s done!
