Doing it YOUR way

It’s easy to lose yourself on 𝕏.

There are so many different:

• Opinions

• Strategies

• Methods

It’s especially hard when others are growing faster than you.

You start thinking:

‘’Am I doing something wrong?’’

So you change your approach.

You copy someone else.

Neglecting your own philosophy.

But...

It doesn’t work for you like it works for them.

Why?

Because it fits their philosophy.

It aligns with who they are.

So what should you do?

Complain?

Of course not.

You never know how a cow catches a rabbit.

(a quick Dutch saying for you)

Everyone’s path is different.

Just because their early game is better than yours doesn’t mean their end game will be too.

You won’t know your potential until you reach it.

Look, I get it.

• I wasn’t seeing any growth for months.

• I couldn’t figure out what to monetize.

• I was questioning my life choices daily.

What did I do?

I tried every piece of advice other creators gave me.

Anything to make it work.

The result?

I quit for 2 months.

But during that break, I had time to reflect.

Once you step into this game, you can’t escape it.

You’re doomed if you do and doomed if you don’t.

See yourself as a train.

The rails are your path.

The destination is your goal.

You can pause at a station.

You can even go backwards.

But it’s impossible to get of the rails.

Quitting wasn’t an option.

I made a commitment one last time.

But this time, I did it my way.

After 9 months of trial and error, I finally knew what worked for me.

I knew exactly what I had to do.

And when I came back...

Well...

The results speak for themselves.

Here’s how I did it:

1) Finding a starting point.

When you’re just starting out, you have no frame of reference.

So what do you do?

You look at the people you relate to the most.

What kind of content do you like to read or watch?

This is a great starting point.

Not to copy them—

But to find your general direction.

I joined 𝕏 because of Dan Koe.

I strongly related to his philosophy.

I liked his short, concise posts.

But when I got here, I saw tons of people hating on ‘’Dan Koe copycats’’.

I listened to them.

I questioned my approach.

But then I realized something:

They judged people for taking inspiration from Dan Koe...

While telling them to copy their method instead.

A bit hypocritical, don’t you think?

Look...

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking inspiration from anyone when you’re just starting out.

How else can you start if you don’t know how to?

But choose someone you truly relate to.

I’ve seen many people quit because someone convinced them to do it their way—

Even when it didn’t align with who they are.

Don’t let the results blind you.

2) Experimentation

You have a starting point.

Now what?

You don’t just keep copying the same person.

That’s how you get labeled a copycat.

What you do is this:

Stay true to your foundation.

That’s what you build on.

Then, look at creators who are 2-3 steps ahead of you.

Take inspiration.

Apply their advice.

If it works, adopt it.

If it doesn’t, move on.

Many people will try to sell you on their method as ‘’the only way.’’

But remember:

Your values and philosophy matter more than their results.

You won’t reach your full potential if you lose sight of yourself.

If something feels wrong—it probably is.

I’ll give you some examples:

• When I started DMing people just to sell my offer, I felt terrible about being disingenuous.

That told me the warm DM strategy wasn’t for me.

• When I reposted my old tweets just because they performed well, it felt like cheating.

That told me recycling content wasn’t for me.

You’re looking for strategies that:

1. Feels right to you.

2. Bring results.

If you find it—adopt it.

3) Systemization

After enough experimentation...

You’ll start seeing results.

Now, it’s time to turn your winning habits into a system.

What’s a system?

A weekly routine that stacks your habits together.

Why is that important?

Because habit stacking makes consistency 100x easier.

If you want to make money...

Some things have to be non-negotiable:

• Writing posts

• Publishing a newsletter

• Building products

• Networking

• Reflecting

Every task requires willpower.

And willpower is finite.

You start the day energized.

You do the tasks you enjoy the most—writing, building.

But by the end of the day?

You still need to engage and reflect.

Now your willpower is drained.

So you say:

‘’I’ll do it tomorrow.’’

Famous last words.

If you miss a day, you lose momentum.

The solution?

Stack your habits.

Here’s my system:

I start my day with a 30 min morning routine.

Right after, I do a 2 hour deep work block.

Right after, I take a long walk.

Right after, I do another 2 hour deep work block.

Right after, I eat lunch.

Right after, I do another 2 hour deep work block.

Right after, I exercise.

After training, I’m free.

But all of my priority tasks are done for the day.

I don’t allow breaks in between.

I used to give myself some freedom between tasks.

Like sitting on the couch after my walk.

What happened?

It became a habit.

Sometimes, my routine fell apart.

Instead of working, I watched videos.

Now?

I stack my habits.

It gets easier the more I do it.

I save my willpower for when it actually matters.

4) Refine & Adjust

Once you’ve built your system, it’s time to optimize.

Your job is to find the bottleneck.

What needs improvement?

• Not getting enough leads?

• Struggling to convert them?

• Can’t scale your offer?

Adopt new strategies to fix your biggest constraint.

Feeling overwhelmed?

Remove the lowest leverage habit.

If that slows growth—bring it back.

Reflect weekly.

Find Inefficiencies.

Your system should evolve with you.

But never replace it entirely.

No matter how convincing someone else sounds—

Stick to what you know works.

This is how to do it YOUR way.

Final Thoughts

There are infinite paths to success.

But you’ll only reach your full potential by staying true to yourself.

Listen.

Experiment.

Optimize.

But never lose your own philosophy in the process.

Much love,
