  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Daily Writer, where we share a lesson each day to help you cultivate the habits for creative success.

  SPEAKER_00: We've talked many times on this podcast about the need to learn from others.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: Whether it's being part of a mastermind, reading books, attending a conference, or something else, it's vital that we all put ourselves in a learning posture.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's important that you learn from other writers who can share their knowledge, but in the same way, you must help other writers be more successful.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: There are plenty of people in your orbit who would love to achieve your level of success, whatever that level might be.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: Even if your only level of experience is starting a blog, there are plenty of writers who would love to learn how to do that.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: Don't dismiss your skills just because they seem common.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: If you've taken time to build or create something, you can teach it to someone else.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now, it doesn't mean you have to label yourself as a teacher or set yourself up as some big expert.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: It just means that you're sharing what you've learned.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: You can do this on social media, your blog, an email newsletter, speaking, and so many other ways.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: A simple but powerful way to help other writers is to host a weekly mastermind call.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I've been a part of a writer's mastermind group for years.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Each week we meet on Zoom and talk about our successes and challenges.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: And that weekly meeting has an amazing way of encouraging my spirit.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: It also helps the other writers because they have challenges of their own.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: The whole idea of a mastermind is to bring together like-minded people to help each other solve their problems.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: And I can't begin to tell you how many times over the years that our mastermind group has helped me push through a problem or an obstacle.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: And many times, in fact, maybe most of the time, the obstacle isn't somewhere out there.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: The obstacle is in my own head.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm my own worst enemy.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: But when I help other people, it gets the focus off myself and reminds me that I do have some things to teach others.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: So if you have a brain and you can write words, you can teach others.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: Somebody out there needs your knowledge and you can change their life by sharing it with them.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks so much for listening to today's episode.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: I want to take a moment to let you know about our daily writer membership community.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: You know, one of the very best ways to develop better habits and impact more people's lives with your writing is to spend time around other successful writers.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're tired of feeling isolated and chasing success on your own, then I know you're going to love the Daily Writer community.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: For years, I searched for the kind of writing community that I would want to join, but I can never find what I wanted, so I created my own.
