Obsession beats discipline - go all-in on your craft until you either die or get reborn.
Content Innovation Cycle (Cross-Pollination)
Why It Works
Most niches recycle the same formats. Importing working formats from outside your space creates novelty that stands out while leveraging proven mechanics.
How to Execute
Study high-performing content outside your niche
Identify the underlying mechanic that makes it work
Adapt the format to your niche with your unique style
Apply 10x the volume others are doing
Iterate based on what resonates
When It Fails
When the format does not translate to your audience. When you copy surface aesthetics without understanding the mechanism. When you have not yet found your authentic voice.
Real Example
“See transparent overlay format working in gaming content, bring it to fitness/running with your style, then post daily variations until you own the format in your space.”
