I’ve spent the last week at the ASEAN Business Conference.

ASEAN = Association of SouthEast Asian Nations.

It brings together the 10 nations that make up ASEAN:

• Laos
• Brunei
• Malaysia
• Singapore
• Cambodia
• Thailand
• Vietnam
• Indonesia
• Philipines
• Myanmar

With Timor-Leste joining later this year.

This year the conference was held in Singapore.

(yes, the land of durians)

While I love these events, I’m absolutely exhausted.

I fell off writing my daily emails.

I also didn’t publish on Medium.

Soz for the ghosting.

But the beautiful durians?

I still made $119 in digital product sales.

My audience still grew.

I got 3 inbound leads.

All while I was networking and learning.

This is why I love long-form writing.

I can take a week off and my business still functions.

How?

Because I built an ecosystem.

Writers fail because all they want to do is write.

Writing is great.

But only a start.

You also need to become an architect.

Not just of words, but of processes.

Systems that are designed to make your life easier.

A writing ecosystem is how I’ve built:

• 100k+ global audience of readers.
• Multi-six-figure writing business.
• The ability to travel the world.

And now, I’m going to teach you everything I know.

I’m spilling all the juicy durians.

Join me on Thursday 17th of July @ 1:00pm Australian Eastern Standard Time.

It’ll be a live workshop with me where I’ll walk you through everything I know.

There will be time for Q&A and loads of examples to help you.

I’ll see your beautiful face in there.

P.S - what’s the biggest challenge you have with your writing ecosystem?
