Day 30: 3 Things I Learned Writing Online Every Day For 30 Days In A Row

30 days ago, I signed up for Dickie Bush & Nicolas Cole’s cohort-based course, Ship 30 for 30.

In that time, I wrote & published 30 Atomic Essays, learned the fundamentals of Digital Writing, made friends, and continued gaining clarity around my niche. It’s been a very rewarding (and challenging) journey, and I am more excited than ever to keep writing online.

Here are the 3 biggest things writing & publishing consistently every day for 30 days taught me:

1. Take Imperfect Action

As you might imagine, coming up with a topic every day is no easy feat. And while the templates provided some helpful starting points, it did require focused effort. I had to be comfortable knowing that not every one was going to be a mind-blowing revelation, but the important thing was (and is) forward momentum.

2. Build a Support Group

The program gave us many opportunities to connect with our fellow shippers, many of whom I’ve remained connected with. When tackling a challenge such as this one, it’s extremely helpful to have a sounding board of peers going through the same ups and downs.

3. Push Out of Your Comfort Zone

While I could have kept the topics superficial and safe, I would always look for an opportunity to share a personal story. Not surprisingly, those are the ones that received the best feedback. At the end of the day, our stories and experiences are valuable and should be shared. I guarantee you that your voice will be heard at the right time by the right person. It’s not up to us to decide their value.
