Writing Habits Can 10x Your Business
As many of you know, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing over 100 successful CEOs and founders while hosting the Beyond The Wealth Podcast.
One consistent habit I noticed across all these high achievers was their commitment to writing. Every single founder had some form of non-negotiable writing practice integrated into their daily routines.
Some journaled. Others wrote newsletters. A few simply emptied their thoughts into documents (my personal favorite tool for this is Notion). But the common thread was a dedication to writing daily.
Naturally, this got me thinking about my own habits. I realized I did next to no writing—and certainly not on a daily basis. Six months ago, I set out to change that.
Starting My Writing Journey
I began by focusing on this newsletter. While I didn’t achieve the goal of creating a daily writing habit right away, it brought me closer and revealed how consistent writing could improve so many aspects of my business and life.
Initially, I set up a Notion workspace and started unloading my thoughts once or twice a week:
Things that happened in my business and life that week.
Ideas that came to mind throughout the week.
Trends or interesting things I noticed on social media.
With this foundation, I began drafting my weekly newsletter. Seven months later, this newsletter has grown into a thriving community of over 16,000 readers! That was just the beginning.
Building a Habit
Over time, I found myself writing in Notion more frequently, until it became a daily habit I genuinely looked forward to. My thoughts became clearer, ideas flowed more freely, and I noticed significant improvements in both my business and personal life.
Until I experienced it for myself, I couldn’t fully understand why every successful person I met seemed to have this habit ingrained into their routines. Now, I see the impact firsthand.
My Daily Writing Habits
Today, I have two non-negotiable writing habits that are part of my daily routine:
Morning Gratitude and Reflection: I start each day by writing down things I’m grateful for and a quick summary of the previous day.
Midday Journaling: During lunch, I dive into my Notion workspace to journal my thoughts. This practice clears my mind and organically generates topics for my weekly newsletters—like the one you’re reading right now!
My Advice to You
I’ll admit—writing used to feel daunting. If you feel the same way, my best advice is simple: just start. Take a pen to paper or fingers to a keyboard and begin unloading whatever is on your mind.
I promise, after just a few days, you’ll wonder why it took you so long to start. Writing doesn’t just clear your mind; it helps you grow, think, and create in ways you never imagined.
Who knows? It might just become the most transformative habit in your life, too
