Jeff Goins was right: you need a network to expand your creativity. Otherwise, you’re limited to the 3–5 skills you’re a

One day Jeff got an offer of $250 to write a feature article. He thought his life was set and he was on his way to quitting his job and writing for the rest of his life. Turns out he was wrong.

A good friend of mine set up a community for content creators. He invited me to it a long time back. I was ignorant and said “no, mate.” Then over a year later I started to feel lonely as a creative person. I reached back out to him to see if I could join his group. Surprisingly, he said yes.

The tonsure began to disappear from the church overtime as Catholicism went through changes over time. Challenges like the Crusade wars, Martin Luther’s Reformation, the thirty-year war, and the Industrial Revolution brought cultural changes within the church. Centuries after Gregorio VII’s introduction of the mandatory tonsure, many monks abandoned the haircut. In 1972, Pope VI banned the tonsure haircut for any monks within the Catholic Church, declaring the end of the 900-year-old haircut.

bathtub and escorted their mother inside. They then put gloves on and began bathing their mother, before telling her to lie on her stomach, so they could scrub her back. When she did as told, the girls held Linda’s head down in the water for four minutes.

I got a second big break after Business Insider picked up another story of mine. I thought my life was made again. This story repeated over and over. The big break was never a big break at all — it was a tiny step forward in the direction of my process.

When I got a big break with a viral article that CNBC picked up, I thought my future was set in stone. Seven days later that viral article was buried in the garbage dump of internet blog posts. Nobody cared anymore. I thought my writing career was over. I felt like crap. I was a toddler screaming for attention.

If you’re waiting for a book deal, or a magical job promotion, or to be discovered, then it ain’t going to happen. Sorry. Only hard work and daily practice can turn your work into what looks like a big break.

After complaining about my terrible failures as a wannabe teacher, my friend said to me “you know Todd is perfect for you.” So, I sent Todd a message. We connected. He was a match. We built a business together. The guy is a freaking WhizKid. Everything I can’t do, he can do. Now we’re well on the road to creating a decent sized business together.

“Your network equals your net worth” is cliche advice most people ignore. When a LinkedIn guru makes you want to vomit because they say “let’s network” like a robot, you ignore this advice. I did too. But cliche advice is bloody powerful.

Jeff created a process and committed to sticking to it. That process led Jeff to become one of the most well-known writers of our time with his books “The Art of Work” and “Real Artists Don’t Starve.”

Let me share a live example. I’ve had a dream to launch an education program for years. I’ve tried several times and failed. One time I signed up a total of two students. The rest? Crickets.

Jeff Goins wanted to be a writer. He tried for several years and created countless blogs. Many of them only lasted a few weeks. He had a case of “shiny object syndrome.” Translated: he was always chasing something new.

That group changed everything. I didn’t feel lonely anymore. There were other creative people who suffered from the same flawed character I did. One of those community members was a guy named Todd. I loved Todd’s work but never really spoke to him.

Big breaks are total B.S. It ain’t going to happen, pal/palette. I too have wanted to become a writer for the last six years. I bust my chops every day to move the needle on my writing career.
