For The Interested - FTI #320: Mo' problems, less money
Most creative entrepreneurs (myself included) try to solve too many problems for too many people.
All you need to do is identify one specific problem people REALLY want to solve and figure out how to help them solve it.
Do that and you’ll be massively successful.
Now, on to this week's ideas...

The Starting Five
1. What I've Learned About How To Succeed As A Creative Entrepreneur
In this week's episode of my I Want To Know podcast I share one big thing I had to "unlearn" to succeed, how to become a stronger writer in one minute, and how to control your business instead of letting it control you.
Watch the video version at the link above or listen to the audio version here or on your favorite podcast platform.
2. How Alex Hormozi Went From Thinking Content Was A Waste Of Time To Getting A Million Followers
In this 11-minute video he breaks down the exact system he uses to create content and grow his audience.
I never thought about how powerful it could be to make a list of 100 things you want...until I read this.
4. How To Unlock The Value Of Zero-Click Content
This will revolutionize the way you use social platforms (in a good way).
5. The Thing Super-Successful Twitter Accounts Probably Do More Often Than You
I've got 23,000 followers on Twitter and often reply to others on the platform, but even I was blown away at these stats - looks like I've been slacking.

My Final Words Of The Week
It hasn't even been a month since I launched my I Want To Know podcast and I just want to take a moment to say thanks.
The feedback has been incredible.
The ratings and reviews on podcast platforms are MUCH appreciated.
And the show has been featured on Apple's top marketing podcasts charts for several weeks in a row which is wild.
Thanks for your interest, your questions, and spreading the word.
There's much more to come.
Have an interesting week!
