I’ve often heard content creators say you should write for your past self.

Ask yourself: if you could reach back in time and share a crucial piece of advice with the former you, what would it be?

What would the you of, say, 3–5 years ago absolutely need to know to succeed faster and avoid the pitfalls you didn’t know were coming?

It’s not a bad idea (that’s why so many creators say it).

So that’s what I’m doing right now. I’m sharing the key things I wish I’d known when I first got serious about working for myself.

And hopefully they’ll resonate with you, if you’re in a similar boat.
