Real great article. Earlier today I tweeted how AI can't possibly get even close to your own brilliant ideas.

Loved this! As someone who still has the 9-5 and only has evenings and weekends to work on my side hustle, it's a constant struggle of not feeling burnt out. Especially when what moves the needle is the unsexy things. I've utilized AI for a lot of the grunt work, but until I'm able to fully monetize the solo business it'll continue to be a grind. Really resonated with the notion that your life and your experiences are your content creation ideas.

Glad it was helpful.

The thing is to keep things easy and simple so that you can play the long term game.

You and this specific post will be mentioned in my next article that is going to be a real life changing piece of art work, however won't be recognised until I have built an audience, of course.

For months, 100+ ideas race through my mind 24/7 where I am passionate to create the ideas and build my brand but HAD no idea where to start because my mind is like a digital creative library.

I now know what I need to do. Thank you, thank you so much! 🙏

You wrote my story Matt, with so many of details spot on.

It's been a repetitive cycle for a long time. Kind of a "how many different ways can I burn myself out" approach.

It's almost like I can't get the flow going in a dance class. I know the steps. I love you tunes. But I can't seem to translate the tempo to my feet.

I should be reaching the class by now.

I love how you broke it down and adopted a system that actually works for you.

A mix of automation, diligence and quiet self time. 👍

Sometimes it helps seeing others doing the same mistakes :)

It definitely helped me a lot

Wow. This landed with me. You’ve convinced me to put my laptop down and go enjoy life this weekend. Been feeling burnt out in the content race recently!

Damn, what do I feel like you're writing my life? Hahaha! I've been intentional to unplug and not just keep creating content.

Live life, and content will come at the most unexpected moments.

Great one, Matt! 💪

I wonder how much of my current workload I could offload to AI, or alternatively, how much I could increase my output if I leveraged it better than I currently am.

there’s a learning curve - as with every automation.

it only makes sense for things you do REPEATEDLY to see a positive ROI

Indeed Matt it's not about doing more it's about doing what really moves the needle. Having a system that streamlines your process and makes you productive is a lifesaver. Literally saves you for hours with no end and is close to burning out
