Just Start!

If you give me ten thousand years with ten thousand basketballs, I'm not gonna do what LeBron can do. But even the things I'm good at, I became good at them by being bad at them first.

One of the best things about the #PhonlyInMarch interviews has been the chance to see common threads emerging. One of the most important ones is this: the community is what makes the content work. So many are investing so much in content and wondering why it doesn't work. Or they're not investing at all because they don't think their content will work. Both types of people are missing a very important step: showing love to the people who bother to care about you is what gives your content the lift it needs to do the with you need it to do.

Just my 2 cents. People are so obsessed with building big audiences that they neglect the power of meaningful one-to-one encounters. Here's how I would do it differently!

The big myth is that social media storytelling will not pay off until you've got tens of thousands of followers. It's a lie. Even a few dozen people who vibe with you in a deep way can be enough if the community is deep enough to create real influence. Hear more on the episode and then start that thing you've been planning. Check out the interview described in the podcast on Instagram at @williamlglass.

This whole month is about this. . I've had so many conversations this past month with people who've said they can't get serious about storytelling because they don't have time/money/energy to produce it. . This month, I'm going to show you just how little it takes to start. . Anything you see from me this month, whether here, on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Anchor, web, etc., is coming from my phone. Because that's possible. . And this whole month, I'll be hanging with businesses, makers, content creators, all with one goal: to help you start. . Cause I know once you start, once you taste that community, once you taste his it enhances your life, work, biz, etc., you'll go all in. . Feel free to get in on this fun -- using the hashtag #PhonlyInMarch with your fav phone-originated content. . Love to all! ❤️
