I get a rush when I experience greatness. Greatness moves people. Average work does not. And as Naval Ravikant says, “there’s no demand for average.” If you’re trying to figure out why your work isn’t resonating, it’s probably because the work is average. And that’s okay. Because you need to be average before you can be great.
Most people fear failure. The best creators use it as fuel to build their vision. “Failure” only exists in relationship to your definition of success. So, to make the creative process easier, change your definition of success. My definition of success in a creative project - specifically screenwriting, as that’s my mode of expression - is this: Did I write the movie script I set out to write?
When I say someone is a “master of their craft,” I don’t just mean they’re good at something. It’s much deeper than that. They have an intimate, instinctual understanding of it that comes from years of engagement.
AI doesn’t have to sound generic. The key to great AI-generated content is making it reflect you—your voice, your style, your perspective. By training AI on your preferences, past work, and unique way of thinking, you can turn it into a powerful creative amplifier instead of a lifeless algorithm. Here’s how to make AI sound unmistakably like you.
The internet is loud and persuasive. So loud it drowns out the voice in your head. It tricks you into making what you think other people will like instead of making what you like. Don’t listen. You don’t know what other people will like. You only know what you like. And that’s where you should start.
ChatGPT isn’t just for brainstorming—it’s a powerful tool for turning ideas into reality fast. By using AI to create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), you can test your idea in the market before investing too much time or effort. Whether it’s drafting a screenplay treatment, building a landing page, or validating a product concept, ChatGPT helps you move from idea to execution in record time. Here’s how to use it to speed up your process and get real-world feedback faster.
For the longest time, how people built wealth was a mystery to me.
I remember hearing friends talk about owning “equity,” building “leverage,” and creating “assets.” I would nod along, pretending I understood what they were saying. I didn’t. But I wanted to learn.
So, I started researching the mental models of wealth creators, and I found something startling… the secret to getting rich was actually pretty simple.
This is it, in a nutshell:
Build assets that work for you after you’re finished working on them.
And so, that’s what I’m doing.
My name is Thomas Waschenfelder. I’m a writer and creator who is fanatic about learning and executing ideas that improve my life. I’m not a financial planner. I’m not an investment adviser. And I’m not wealthy (yet).
I’m simply here to share the best of what I’ve learned about how to use your creativity to build assets that disconnect your inputs (time) from your outputs (value).
And the best place to build assets is right here, on the internet. You’ll discover how to harness AI tools to unleash your creativity and build digital assets that compound over time. You’ll carve out a piece of internet real estate to call your own forever.
