The First Thing You Have to Learn as a Writer
You will become more hardworking and consistent
Have you ever read an article and thought, “This sounds too simple to be true?” Or have you ever read one of these articles and then later regretted it? Me too.
Whatever you do, whether it is writing, exercising, etc., it all requires hard, consistent work. A lot of people on the internet prefer to ignore this.
One of these people is my friend. He lives a difficult and lonely life and has a controlling father. This has led to him spending most of his time at home.
At home, he codes on a freelance basis. His work is all about programming tools like plugins and bots for Discord, for example.
The issue is that it hasn’t taught him the fundamental value of hard work, because he thinks it’s all about easy money.
Similarly, many writers who join Medium believe they will have an easy time making money.
Let’s be honest with one other on this platform: that is not the case at all — when you work as a writer, there are more cloudy days than sunny ones.
That leads me to why I’m making this post.
If a new writer asks me the one key to success, I’ll tell them that it is hard work and consistency.
As Dwayne Johnson puts it:
“Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.”
But how do you become this hardworking and consistent writer? Let me tell you why.
How to start
To become a hard worker, you must first complete the following two steps:
- The first step is to establish a productive environment around you. Read more about how to do this in my article on the role of success environment.
- The next step is to establish productive habits in your life. Read more about this in my article on how to create the habits of success.
These will help you start out, but ultimately it is up to you to keep going every day. Good luck!
