🚀 The Book in 3 Sentences
- Share your thoughts and your process and your work, online, for free.
- You don’t need to be an expert to share your work - beginners can easily help other beginners.
- By sharing your work online, you’ll attract an audience of people who care about the same stuff you do - this can change your life.
👀 Who Should Read It?
I think this should be required reading for everyone in the world. If you’ve got an interest in creativity (of any sort) or entrepreneurship or business (of any sort), you should stop reading this and just read the book.
Even if you don’t have the slightest interest in creativity, entrepreneurship or putting yourself out there in any capacity whatsoever, you should still read this because it’ll open up neural pathways and possibilities that you never knew existed.
It also takes less than 30 minutes to read, so you’ve got no reason not to.
