How did you get into writing?

I tried to write blogs and had to write papers for university, but I always struggle.

I have the feeling that some people can produce much text from nothing, where I put my ideas into a few sentences...



It was really hard to write - took me 1.5 years, tons of research and re-writing. This isn't something I slapped together over a weekend. Far from passive income.

Creating content for me is always hard, but once it's done, I love to deliver it (via talks, teaching, videos or books...)


Thanks for sharing. Writing for a 1.5 years is a long time. How did you stay motivated to keep going?


Great job man. Skimmed your book a couple months ago.


Well, the passiveness of that income probably depends on how timeless your book is.


I too, am laconic.
