Every writer leaves behind two graves when they die. The first one holds the body. That’s not so important. The second one holds the ideas they never got to write. That’s why I’m so intense about writing. It’s why I publish seven to ten blogs per week. It’s why I’m on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Substack constantly. I’ve never been worried about writing too much. I’m terrified I’ll write too little. What if I leave behind some of my best ideas? What if I never get the chance to talk about...

Ok, today is the last day to enroll in *The Fearless Writer Challenge.* If you’re still making up your mind, I wanted to share my personal story about online education with you. Goes like this: I was born a tightarse into a family of tightarses. My 104-year-old grandma was born during the Great Depression. Nobody bought anything new. Ever. Example: Grandma Denning cut up her own wedding dress to make my mother's first baby outfit. She taught me to believe spending money was always bad. She...

Before grabbing a seat for The Fearless Writer Challenge, Naveen asked: “Will this help me get going? I want to make publishing daily a habit!” My answer is worth reading… even if you’re only just NOW hearing about The Fearless Writer Challenge one day before we start. I’ll give you the “basically” version of what I sent Naveen. Basically, I said this: There's only one reason I create courses, run masterclasses (even though I’m not super comfortable on camera), take podcast interviews, write...

You may have seen this. A while back, this article attacking me went viral. I won't tell you who wrote it. I won't give you the headline either. Not going to give this guy any more of the attention that he wanted so desperately. But I can tell you this: The article clearly went against Medium's publishing policies. So I asked Medium to take it down. 1 day goes by. Post is still there 3 days go by. Post is still there, getting bigger. 1 WHOLE WEEK goes by. Post has reached viral status by now....

Ok. Here’s an odd email. I’m gonna take a second to brag on myself. Not arrogance. I just want to give some hope to those of you who are hard at work on the weekend, hustling towards a better life. Here’s the brag: I haven’t messaged my co-teacher Todd on the weekend for 10 straight weeks. He hasn’t messaged me either. A win for both of us. This is different from the first 4 years of us being in business together. Most weekends, Saturday and/or Sunday, we’d be pinging each other back & forth....

Heard a friend say this yesterday. Most people go back to work full time for real on Monday. First 5-day work week in a hot minute. Monday is doomsday for most people. They’ll go back to playing a game with only losers. Even if you “win,” you’re not winning. Example: One of my old friends worked at a law firm, earning $900k a year as a 32 year old. Then his wife got pregnant. When she was 4 weeks away from giving birth, he asked the partners for a day off to be there to meet his child. They...

Read Online Hey All, Happy New Year! Been a fun start to the new year. Today I drove to the beach using self-driving in the car. It felt weird not having to hold the steering wheel and putting my family's life in the hands of a computer run by AI. It's strangely freeing. Here's my most shared tweet this week (click to read all of it): Tim Denning @Tim_Denning A wise man once told me: The greatest act of self-love is being selfish enough to chase your obsession. I think about that every day....

Every once in a while, I ask people what they’ve purchased to help post online more consistently. Silly question. Because for most people, the answer is “nothing.” They’ve bought nothing. They invested nothing. Which is nuts. Most people assume the traditional writing skills they learned in high school are good enough for today’s digital writing world. Ridiculous. Imagine your high school self trying to do the job you have today. Think they could handle it? No. Of course not. They wouldn’t...
