The Competition Doesn't Have Sh*t On You
There’s never been a person who went to school for accounting and said:
BUT WAIT, I CAN’T BECOME AN ACCOUNTANT BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALREADY DOINGGGGG THATTTTTTTTTTT.
There are plenty of people out there doing exactly what you want to do—times eleventy thousand. “But there are already so many writers / designers / candlestick makers” is not a valid reason not to do something. In fact, it may be the best reason to get out there and see how you can do it better.
Because you can either worry that you’ll never be able to compete, or, you can make damn sure that the rest of the world needs to worry about you.
Either way, the competition never changes, but your odds certainly do.

Do Extraordinary Work. From Anywhere.
I run business experiments in remote work, internet publishing, newsletter growth, and using AI to make your projects pay so well your Stripe notifications start sounding like a slot machine at a Reno bowling alley. This is not a newsletter about fish.
Free. Daily or weekly, you pick.
