What happens when you ask for help
Courage nugget #2
The message that changed my digital writing career started with four words:
"I don't know how..."
[Cue internal panic.]
There I was... → 8 months into my "creator journey."
→ 47 subscribers (including my mom)
→ Writing brilliant pieces into the void
→ Refreshing stats like a slot machine addict
THE BREAKING POINT: Watching ANOTHER creator with worse writing land a book deal.
Why them? Why not me?
Because they weren't doing it alone.
So I did the scariest thing ever...
I sent a DM that basically said: "Your work inspires me. I have no idea what I'm doing. Want to figure it out together?"
Plot twist: She said yes.
Bigger plot twist: That "failure confession" became my superpower.
One vulnerable message → 6 collaborations → 10x growth
The secret sauce? Authenticity beats strategy EVERY. DAMN. TIME.
Tomorrow: The framework that emerged from this hot mess 🔥
P.S. Still think you need to have it "figured out" first? Think again.
