How Writing Online Made me a Millionaire

Somebody once told me, "You'll quit worrying about what others think about you when you realize how rarely they actually think about you."

My father used to say, "perfectionism is a disease." As a psychiatrist, now, I can't agree more.

This legit made me cry - somehow you spoke to all the fears and doubts that have held me back the last decade. I write for other people's blogs for a living and have desperately wanted to start my own blog for so long. I have the domain, I've started a travel blog for my partner and I which is doing well, so I know how to do it - BUT every time I feel drawn to create my personal blog I feel like nobody would want to read about me. What would I write? What will people think? Will I look stupid? This video spoke directly to those thoughts and gave me the motivation to just bloody do it Thank you for this inspiration/motivation/butt-kicking!

I met my fiance 10 years ago because she read my blog at university, that had like 5 readers a month.

Haven't yet come across a video, blog, or any form of online content that feels so relevant, almost as if it's directed at me. Definitely one of the best videos I've watched. Thank you for not only putting yourself out there, but also honestly speaking about that initial fear. :)

Man this message is so key. I love how succinctly you put it here. A great resource I can point people towards. I attempted to include this theme in my last two vids, but not near as clearly haha. Personally my story is very similar here. Similar insecurities. Similar start. Same massive life benefits after sharing what I’m working on.

This man is insane. Imagine forging a fully-fledged, million pound social media career as a side project while obtaining a MEDICAL DEGREE FROM CAMBRIDGE where you graduate top of the class. Absolutely amazing!!

Man I’m so grateful for your channel and this video, specifically. There are many points that I relate to and you mentioning them make me feel better about myself. I keep thinking I’m a failure and lazy and that my life will turn out badly because of the doubts I have. Of course, doubt leads to inaction which can lead to a bad life, but I thought just having those doubts was instant death for my dreams of having a good life. You saying that there was a four or five year period that you didn’t have the confidence to write and that after that you finally found that confidence gives me the strength to try writing professionally again. You’re like a therapist who doesn’t know it all, but is just an older version of me. Thank you so much. Also, you’ve helped me understand that social media isn’t an evil people use to gain fame and distract themselves from real life. It is a part of real life and is a tool that allows us to express who we are, whether that be someone trying to help others, advertise their craft, or just nourish vanity.

I am 13 years old, and I’ve read the ‘book rich dad poor dad’ it’s just really inspired me to change the mindset that the school have thought many us, I am really passionate about have my own business, and I am working towards it, I don’t care what people said, I don’t care how many time I fail, I just wanna do things I love

I believe that now is the time to start building up your future , one thing people don’t understand is it’s never too late to start somewhere , usually I got for top ROIs and that was how Re-al-so-ur-ce-in-ve-st-me-nt was discovereed

i’m shocked that the word productive isn’t in the title- lol

Standard tip , be cautious , i know of only few you can depend on

I'm one of those people who's super scared of this kind of thing, even writing this public comment has me worried lol. this video helped me quite a bit. Thanks!

I started a blog at the start of this year inspired by Ali’s Podcast and nobody reads it but even still it has changed my life. For those needing a kick, just do it.

ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO START PREPARING YOURSELF FOR A BETTER AND MORE FINNCIALLY SAFE FUTURE , THE TIME TO BEGIN IS NOW , START SOMEWHERE START ANYWHERE #REALSOURCEINVESTMENT

Just discovered this channel and I love your videos, especially your book reviews. You are so down to earth and easy to listen to, and your personal experiences are so relatable!

Writing is the beginning of all wealth.
