I'm going all-in on THIS šŸˆ


Hey friend,

I took a break from my emails while in Beijing.

To be honest, I've been feeling a wee-bit burned out.

Since the end of May, I've been non-stop travelling.

  • Singapore.
  • Osaka.
  • Tokyo.
  • Beijing.

I'm now back in Singapore again.

That's five cities in five weeks.

While I love to travel, this schedule is exhausting.

So, I took a break.

Lately, I've been feeling like my business is running me.

I couldn't seem to figure out what was going on.

During this time off, I had some space to think.

I've realized that I've been a bit distracted.

I lost focus on what makes me… me.

I forgot what my core capability and unique positioning are.

I was chasing trends and good ideas that weren't a priority.

Here’s the lesson I’m taking with me into the second half of the year:

Just because something is a good idea…

...doesn’t mean it’s the right one for me.

So, I'm going back to my roots:

Long-form writing.

Even with AI, long-form writing will not die.

Long-form writing = thinking.

Saying AI will replace long-form writing is like saying AI replaces thinking.

Once that happens, it's game over.

Long-form builds trust.

It sharpens your thinking and speaking.

It attracts the right people and repels the wrong ones.

This is how I built my one-person business.

And that's going to be my focus for the next 12 weeks.

I'm already enjoying the change.

Stay tuned for more.

Stay Limitless,

Michael 'long-form writing is king' Lim.

P.S - I'm creating a new long-form writing offer. If you're a current (or ex) corporate employee interested in learning to leverage long-form writing to launch your one-person business, CLICK HERE.
