🌟 Do something that gets you recognized publicly

An award, a feature, a speaking slot. Not for vanity — for evidence that the work is real.

How you would actually start

  1. 🔍 Check whether the promise holds

    “An award, a feature, a speaking slot. Not for vanity — for evidence that the work is real.” That is the pitch. Spend an hour on first-hand accounts rather than listicles — what it costs, how long it really takes, and what people wish they had known.

  2. 🗓️ Decide what "started" would look like

    Most people who do this start before they feel ready for it. Name the smallest thing that would count as having begun, and do that one.

  3. 🪜 Find the small version first

    There is almost always a one-afternoon version. Do that before committing money or telling anyone.

  4. 📌 Put it somewhere you will see it

    An intention you have not written down is a mood. A list you revisit is a decision you keep making.
