Can You Relate?
???? Are you tired of merely saving notes without being able to produce content out of them?
???? Would you like to discover the hidden connections between your ideas, put your own twist on them, and create content that stands out from the crowd?
???? Are your notes a huge mess, scattered all over the place, and prevent you from achieving your goals?
???? Are you tired of handling CONTRADICTORY INFORMATION online when it comes to what to do, how to classify, and what tools to use to build your second brain?
???? Are you looking for a way to come up with a NEW, FRESHER, and BRIGHTER IDEAS than your competition?
???? Are you afraid of setting up the wrong system (and thus losing weeks, months, or even years trying to figure out everything on your own)?
???? Do you OVERTHINK, are OVERWHELMED and have a hard time making a decision about how to set up your second brain the right way?
???? Are you PROCRASTINATING because you don’t know exactly how to get started?
???? Are you struggling to find a way to finally MAKE SENSE of all the ocean of information you consume on a daily basis?
???? Would you like to to ELEVATE THE QUALITY OF YOUR THINKING so that it can reflect in your CONTENT (and propel you to be the OBVIOUS CHOICE in your market)?
???? Do you have a HUGE AMOUNT OF NOTES sitting in your apps but don’t know how to make sense of them? (You may even have the feeling of getting drowned by your notes, and know that there’s is so much wasted potential sitting in there… If only you knew how to get the best out of them)
???? Are you experiencing MENTAL FOGGINESS, FRUSTRATION, and DILUTED FOCUS because you don’t have a streamlined way to manage all your ideas (and information) in a rock-solid way?
DO YOU NEED BETTER IDEAS?
If you’re a content creator, the answer is yes.
What I mean by content creator is someone who’s creating content in any form or shape (articles, books, presentations, videos, podcasts, whatsoever.)
As creators, we’re dealing with ideas every day.
But if you don’t have an effective process to work with your ideas, then you’re at a huge disadvantage.
Why?
Because not having a process to manage information is like trying to run a factory without machinery and raw materials.
And your factory does not produce physical goods… but ideas.
Listen: Your brain alone is not designed to handle all the information by itself. Neuroscientific research has shown that our memory is limited to +/- 7 things.
This is why we forget more than 90% of what we read. This is the reason why we need to create shopping lists.
And running your business on a brain that is designed to forget 90% of information is as stupid as riding a donkey if you could take a plane.
Sure, you could keep up and constantly re-learning new things… But until when?
If you agree with me, it’s safe to say that…
Creators Who Don’t Have A Rock-Solid System To Manage Information Are Silently Loosing The Game
They:
❌ Waste time on never-ending research (and waste endless hours going down rabbit holes without producing anything significant at the end of the day)
❌ Don’t come up with creative and breakthrough ideas (and simply regurgitate what the gurus and the big players already said, in a less compelling way)
❌ Rely on ”inspiration” to create content (and fail to create on the bad days)
❌ Struggle with consistency in creating content (and prematurely throw in the towel… leaving an empty boulevard for their competition to jump in and hijack their audience)
All this, compounded over time… leads to losing enthusiasm for what they do.
It makes the whole content creation process a heavy lift instead of a passion business.
This is the reason why…
