Since birth, you were spoon-fed ideas, beliefs, and routines that program you into the same default path as everyone else. This leads to the same quality of life as everyone else. It’s no wonder why most people feel anxious, overwhelmed, and have a cloud of meaninglessness hovering over their heads at all times. Focus is the cure.

From early in life, we’re taught to compete in a preexisting game of comparison designed by someone else (listen to this sentence three times). And in doing so, we unconsciously submit to someone else’s rules. In business, this seems smart. Buy Google Ads for the keywords that indicate someone is already shopping and yell, “Pick me! Pick me!” The unquestioned rationale is: Demand exists, and if our business can tap into that existing demand, we will find customers—and customers lead to profits.

Many insights, practical and easy to execute

Publisher's Summary
To listen to this “mini-book,” as well as our entire archive of writing on Category Design, subscribe to Category Pirates here:
categorypirates.substack.com
There are five levels to becoming a legendary writer, creator, and “thought leader” in your field.
- Level 1: Consumption
- Level 2: Curation
- Level 3: Obvious Connection
- Level 4: Non-Obvious Connection
- Level 5: Category Creation
Unfortunately, most people who aspire to be a “thought leader” (by any definition of the term) struggle to make it past Levels 2 or 3 on The Content Pyramid. They mistake passionately sharing someone else’s ideas, or stating a “Blinding Glimpse of the Obvious,” for thought leadership.
Again, while this might be a terrific strategy for getting short-term likes, followers, and approval, there is a giant difference between Gary Vee and Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Because in order to be a “thought leader,” you must be willing to lead with your thoughts.
In this “mini-book” you will learn:
- How legendary writers, creators, entrepreneurs, executives, and industry thought leaders measure success and understand Category Design
- Why so many aspiring thought leaders don't actually “lead thoughts” in a different direction
- The number one mistake aspiring writers and creators make when trying to be thought leaders
- Why people consume empty intellectual calories and how to develop enriching content by creating your own category and becoming known for a niche you own
- Tips to apply the five levels of the Content Pyramid to become a legendary writer, creator, and “thought leader” in your field
Short, sweet, and jam-packed with incredibly valuable insights, this “mini-book” shares unique insight into what it takes to become a thought leader and successfully build a unique and differentiated category.
