I want to be a content creator. I don't know exactly what form that will take. It could be blogging. It could be a YouTube channel. It could be authoring books. There's a lot I'm not sure about. But, creating content is something I want to do.
I know that I enjoy learning new things. I also know that I enjoy sharing what I learn. So, why not focus on doing that.
This isn't the first time I've had a goal like this. I've tried to do this before. But, this time it will be different. This time I have a plan.
My previous attempts, I now know, started backwards. I started with the publishing side. I would learn all I could about blogging. I would buy all the gear I needed to make videos. I would read about how to self publish books. I was more interested in the output than the process.
That's what I'm changing this time. This time I'm all about the process.
I still don't know exactly what I'm going to put out there but I have a process to figure that out. Here are the main points:
- Research anything that seems interesting.
- Take notes on everything.
- Make connections between those notes.
- Use those connections to make insights.
- Share those connections and insights.
This isn't going to be a quick process. But, the fact that this time I have a process is a big change. This time I know more than how to put the content out there. This time I have a process for how to develop that content.
