How the hell did I end up here?

Dreaming to become a writer...

Not even on my top ten list.

Strange turn of events. Ever had the feeling of "Destined for greatness."

Feeling overwhelmed until the point I could not take it anymore.

Stuck in my job. Broke up with the girl of my dreams.

Lost in thought. "Staring at empty walls." Choice was to improve myself or stay miserable.

"The word choice implies action."

Started to explore the world of creation.

November 2022.

World Cup started.

Argentina vs Saudi-Arabia.

"Game of emotion, win and loss, unforgettable twist."

Messi and Argentina lost the game. My reaction was full of emotion.

Soccer is a mixed bag of feelings.

Idea was born. Shot a video with my phone from the television.

Edited it and posted as a short video on YouTube.

1k views.

Hooked instant. Obsessive video editing followed.

3 short videos a day. Consistency, repetition, creativity.

Deep in the rabbit hole.

I consumed video editing guides.

"Integrate emotion." The technique of giving the audience thrilling moments and twists.

Frame by frame, I got better. The viral short video 770k views.

Hitting form. March 2023. 8000 subscribers.

3.2 million views.

Greatness achieved... no, didn't feel fulfilled. Video editing skills. One point of mastery.

Drawing board.

Self-improvement niche left clues.

Back in September 2022, I was watching Dan Koe. His idea didn't resonate with me.

Another look.

Driving back from a trip, I listened to a podcast with Dan and Dickie.

Value and information off the charts.

Mind was racing.

I needed to start a Twitter account and talk about my life.

Personal brand. Write what I know. The niche is me. Passion found.

New skills.

How to learn: Impact and effective writing.

A tale for another day.
