Everyone wants to become a thought leader:

Ray Dalio— even him, after making billions of dollars seems that his ultimate life goal is to become a thought leader. To create some sort of legacy that goes beyond him.

Even the joy of a Nassim Taleb; his ultimate pursuit is philosophy, in creating ideas and innovative ideas.

Perhaps a goal for you this year is to strive to become a thought leader. How does one become a thought leader?

Honestly speaking, as long as your ideas can influence the thoughts and behaviors of one other human being on planet earth, you’re doing your job.

Simple ways to become a thought leader:

1. Start a self-hosted website blog via bluehost.com and install wordpress.org. Publish your thoughts as a blog posts.
2. Start an email newsletter, I recommend Sendy.co. Even though we all hate email, it is still one of the best ways for you to propagate your thoughts, open source. A simple thought; write emails that you would actually like to receive.
3. Start a podcast. Just use anchor.fm, which is owned by Spotify. Publish either video podcasts or audio podcasts.
4. Just Vlog out your thoughts and upload them to YouTube. Go deep. Think philosophical Vlogs.
5. Think at the decade, two decade, 3 decade + level. For example, with my email newsletter, it took me at least 12 years to gain 10,000 subscribers. at this point, I don’t think I really need any more subscribers. Instead, my simple goal is to gain longevity for at least another 30 40 50 60 70 years etc.
