KISS

Keep it simple, stupid.

This phrase is something I constantly tell myself because I can quickly complicate things that don't need to be complicated.

I can overwhelm myself because I don't keep it simple.

So today is your reminder to keep it simple when it comes to creating content.

What is one action you can take today to make progress on one piece of content?

Please focus on that action after this newsletter.

For me, it was sending this email.

Goodo Studios has been deep into a lot of editing and production, but I knew I needed to make time to write this email.

Respond to this email with what your action is so that I can follow up with you about it.

Simple, small actions done consistently over a long period of time will equal major progress in the future. Don't complicate content creation. Get help when you need it and most of all, think about KISS.

Keep it simple, Stupid.

Keep Creating!
