Damn it, you just hit on a point I really should have made, the why!

In fact without that part perhaps my article isn't clear that the "why" of creating some pandering content is to help you reach more people with your true passion!

Honestly I wish there was some place I could release an article, get great ideas, suggestions and feedback like this and then...just release it again as if nothing happened! 🤣

I think the other gem in here is how the motivation behind writing has such a huge influence on the quality and type of content being produced. Hell, I should have written an article about that instead as that would really spark some interesting debate!

Thanks so much for the comment Toby, it gave me a few things to think about and some interesting "internal debates" will likely occur in my head thinking about the balance between writing for growth and the motivation behind each article etc! ❤

Sounds like the foundations of your next article. If you get a chance, try watching Michael Junior's YouTube Video, "Know Your Why". It absolutely firmed this concept in my own head.

Think I found the clip, the one with the guy who sings amazing grace and then "the hood version" and the comparison of the two? That certainly does frame it well and is a great example! Thanks for that!

Exactly that one! Yes, it really drives home that, while we know the what, we need to consider the why.
