So, yes, I did fall for the shiny object syndrome, and I started being everywhere. And when I mean everywhere, on the one hand, I started writing on Medium because writers told me Medium is the platform where real writers are. We are not creators, we are writers. So, I was on Medium. Then I was on Instagram, I was on Facebook because my publisher told me that I had to be there to sell books. Then I was also on LinkedIn because I come from the corporate world, and that's where you have to be if you're going to be in the B2B space. And then I was also on Substack and on X because people told me that if you wanted to make a big impact, you had to be on X. And at one point, and this was 3 years ago, I was across everywhere and I was spreading so thin that I was really moonwalking towards success. That's how I like to call it. This idea that you're creating an illusion of productivity because you're doing a lot of things, But you're actually not moving the needle much. And so imagine this picture, right, of you doing so many things, but really you're kind of on a treadmill, not doing much.
