To create some sort of legacy that goes beyond him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the joy of a <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/taleb\/\">Nassim Taleb<\/a>; his ultimate pursuit is philosophy, in creating ideas and innovative ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps a goal for you this year is to strive to <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2023\/01\/06\/how-to-become-a-thought-leader-2\/\">become a thought leader<\/a>. How does one become a thought leader?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly speaking, as long as your ideas can influence the thoughts and behaviors of one other human being on planet earth, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing your job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simple ways to become a thought leader:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start a self-hosted website blog via bluehost.com and install wordpress.org. Publish your thoughts as a blog posts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start an <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2018\/06\/28\/photography-entrepreneurship-101-why-you-must-start-your-own-email-newsletter\/\">email newsletter<\/a>, 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start a <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/podcast\/\">podcast<\/a>. Just use anchor.fm, which is owned by Spotify. Publish either video podcasts or audio podcasts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Just Vlog out your thoughts and upload them to YouTube. Go deep. Think philosophical Vlogs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think at the decade, two decade, 3 decade + level. For example, with my <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/newsletter\/\">email newsletter<\/a>, it took me at least 12 years to gain 10,000 subscribers. at this point, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I really need any more subscribers. Instead, my simple goal is to gain <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2022\/11\/14\/chase-longevity\/\">longevity<\/a> for at least another 30 40 50 60 70 years etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In order to become a thought leader \u00e2\u20ac\u201d some ideas:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Become a Thought Leader\" width=\"1180\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y073czDvR0A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone wants to become a thought leader: Ray Dalio\u00e2\u20ac\u201d even him, after making billions of dollars seems that his ultimate life goal is to become a thought leader.
