Unfortunately, you need the full set — Medium is the flame that the moths keep flying toward. Money for writing. No experience needed. Anyone welcome. It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? And what did your Mother always tell you about things that seemed too good to be true? They usually are. Even so, there…

(It’s not what you think…) — My best friend writes books. Lots of them. He’s published over 100 and shows no signs of slowing down. I remember him saying this to me: “I don’t write because I want to… I write because I have to.” For him, expression through words is a physical need. Some people…

The answer isn’t always more — Years ago me and my family were caught in the middle class trap. Firmly. Keeping up with the Joneses was — subconsciously — our main motivator.

It will become clear why I chose the headline I did (and I hope I haven’t worried anyone — it wasn’t my intention). We all think everything…

Simpler than you think, and a game-changer once you apply it… — The best piece of advice I got from any of the many bosses I have had throughout my career consisted of just two words: Do less. It seems counter-intuitive. Surely the idea is to do more. Make more. Get more. Be more. No. The aim is to progress. And that’s…

I enjoyed these articles, maybe you will too — I recently completed a 31 Day challenge where I read 2 new articles each day on a different topic, then wrote a little reaction to each of them. I enjoyed it so much that I’m going to continue it as a regular article format. This is a relational platform. Reading…

And unlocked a secret to success on this platform — I used to get very snobby about writing earnings articles. It’s selling out. It’s the lowest form of writing. It’s clickbait. But then it started to dawn on me just how many people on this platform are writing to earn — a vast amount. …
