Best Strategy For My LifePurpose?

[Vali2003]

 

Hey,

I finally found my LifePurpose after two years of searching. 

It's to help people build friendships that feel magical. And in general also to make the mundane aspects of life like shopping groceries, going to the dentist, studying in the library etc. feel more connected. Drastically more connected. My medium is writing, specifically, writing essays. 

I'm serious about this and want to make a living from it and I know that to accomplish this, I will need to build a significant readership. The best way to do this is to get followers on a discovery social media platform (Twitter, TikTok, Instagram etc.) and then lead them to your long-form content which is essays on Substack (or Newsletter) in my case.  

Now my question: I want to become a good writer, obvisouly. Right now my writing sucks, however, and I don't have a unique voice. So I need to work on my craft. But at the same time I need to build an audience.

Do you think my main focus should be on mastering my craft -- at least until I'm a decent writer -- on building my audience, or a mix of both?

If you have any advice/tipps for my situation, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm in a similiar boat to you around creating a personal brand.

I'll share the frames that have helped me break ground.

You're looking to inspire people to build friendships that feel magical, and you want to do this through writing?

Pick one person you actually know that would benefit most from going from where they are, into a magical relationship builder.

Talk with them, understand where they are in life - and then start writing FOR THEM - your voice is easy to find if you know who you are speaking to and what they need.

Deliver life transforming excellence one person at a time creating deep rich empathic relationships that revolutionise their lives in the image of the impact you see.

If you get it right, you truly deliver a transformational experience that takes them from where they are to having a profound, inspired relationship with life - then recognise you will also be building your audience, one at a time with these people who's lives have been transformed by your work - and what are they going to do if that is the case? TALK! They're going to talk about your work and get more people on board. It'll be like a snowball rolling down a hill - small at first, compounding overtime into something HUGE.

One person at a time, deliver excellent mindblowlingly excellent transformational value, and they'll build your audience for you.

You have put so much pressure and expectation on your purpose. What if it doesn't work? Will it still be your purpose?
