Danny Iny (@DannyIny) is the founder of Mirasee, host of the Business Reimagined podcast, best-selling author of multiple books including Engagement from Scratch!, The Audience Revolution, and Teach and Grow Rich, and creator of the acclaimed Audience Business Masterclass and Course Builder’s Laboratory training programs, which have together graduated over 5,000 value-driven online entrepreneurs.

All of this grew out of humble beginnings; he started out just like most online entrepreneurs, with an idea and message to share, and no idea how to do it. He made several wrong turns – which he calls “plot twists” in the Audience Revolution – before really understanding the Audience First paradigm, and how to apply it to online business.

And when he ...more

When you know there's a deadline to submit a manuscript, that you just have to get done, then that certainly helps with writer’s block! It keeps you moving. Writing something that’s not great but something you can improve later, is better than not writing anything at all.

But I think a really important insightand this is what challenges a lot of writersis that writing is comprised of at least two different activities. One is figuring out what ideas you are trying to communicate and how those ideas fit together. And the second is choosing the words to articulate those ideas.
Those are two very different kinds of tasks, and writer's block often happens when you're trying to do them both at the same time.

And so, I try to be diligent and self-aware about whether I have a clear flow of ideas. If I do, then I sit and write. But if not, I will usually go for a walk and think and take notes on my phone about high-level outline stuff. And then, I come back and write. I try to separate those two activities out.

It’s like assisted telepathy, which is awesome.

But another thing I also appreciate about the process is that, as much as you write when you feel like you have an insight or inspiration worth sharing and it would be valuable to other people, you feel like you've understood something to a certain degree.

The act of writing confronts you with the reality that you have understood it as well as you thought, and forces you to dig much, much deeper into your thinking and to organize your thinking, do additional research, and truly understand it at a much deeper level.

With Leveraged Learning, especially, it's been gratifying that the big ideas are things that I've been believing and feeling for years, and it’s been a struggle to explain to people in a way that was compelling because I wasn't doing the work to connect the dots for them the way they connected in my head. Writing the book forced me to dig deep enough to be able to actually do that, which was valuable.

The AI “Thinking Partner” Lie

Your brain is wired to take shortcuts. That made sense for most of human history. But AI is the first technology that exploits that wiring in a way you can’t feel — where the failure mode and the success mode look exactly the same.
