Naval Ravikant destroyed my life. His advice about 'building leverage' broke my reality. Back when I had a 9-5 job, I binged his content. He once said, "It doesn't take money to make money, it takes leverage to make money." Back then, I didnât fully get it. Leverage is a word everyone uses. But few people understood (including me). But I kept reading to understand leverage. I consumed everything Naval has ever published. Something about that quote stuck with me. The only problem? I didnât have code to build. I wasnât some Silicon Valley founder. And I didnât know how to sell... But something shifted when I discovered long-form writing. I realized: Writing is how you build with your mind. And stories are how you sell without selling. Since then, I've been writing every day. Writing + storytelling = unlimited leverage Especially as a solopreneur Long-form writing is a cheat code to get anything you want in life. The money I make from long-form writing paid for my flights to Japan. The reason I was at the cafe was to write. This was a complete full-circle moment for me. Since listening to Naval, I've â Quit my 9-5 job. â Become a full-time solopreneur. â Making multiple 6-figures per year. â Built a global audience of 100k+ readers. My old life was ruined. (in the best way possible). Itâs been over six years since I started writing online. And last month, I got to meet Naval Ravikant in Downtown Tokyo (see below). To anyone feeling stuck with long-form writing, remember this:
But.. The business, travel, and life you want Feel the fear. And write anyway. Stay Limitless, Michael 'Naval's #1 fan' Lim. P.S - I'm creating a new long-form writing offer.
