Tips to Stand Out: Create More Than You Consume
Want to Be Known? Stop Scrolling and Start Creating.
Hey Friends,
Most people consume way more than they create.
They:
❌ Scroll for hours but never post.
❌ Read books but never apply the lessons.
❌ Watch others build their brand instead of building their own.
But the ones who stand out?
They flip the script.
They create first, consume second.
Because in a world full of consumers, creators are the ones who get noticed.
Core Lesson:
If you want to be known, respected, and in demand—you have to create.
When you focus on producing instead of just consuming:
✔ You become a leader, not just a follower.
✔ You build a brand, instead of being invisible.
✔ You gain confidence, because action beats information overload.
The fastest way to transform your life?
Consume less. Create more.
Actionable Steps to Start Creating More:
1️⃣ Set a Daily Creation Habit
Write, post, film, or build something every day.
Start small—consistency beats intensity.
2️⃣ Share Your Thoughts Instead of Just Absorbing Others’
After reading, write your takeaways.
After learning something new, teach it.
3️⃣ Replace 50% of Your Scroll Time With Creation
If you scroll for 2 hours, spend 1 hour creating instead.
If you watch YouTube, make a short video about what you learned.
4️⃣ Take Imperfect Action
Your first attempts won’t be perfect. Post anyway.
You learn by doing, not just by consuming.
Real-World Example:
Think of Casey Neistat.

✔ He didn’t start as a “filmmaker.”
✔ He didn’t wait until he was an expert.
✔ He just started creating—every single day.
Now?
He has over 12 million subscribers, brand deals, and a legacy.
Not because he watched content.
Because he created it.
Call to Action:
Ask yourself:
Are you spending more time consuming or creating?
Today, commit to:
✅ Posting instead of just scrolling.
