Communicate Instead of Consume

Writing Time Must Excel Reading Time to See Progress. Or Money, even.

Why are you here? What can I possibly do to knock your socks off?

As for me, here’s why I’m coming to the GPC Community every day and actively seeking direct emails and conversations with professionals, communicators, and gifted adults. If you have any of these 10 reasons on your bucket list or monthly priorities pages, too, please come forward, out of the shadows, and say something.

1. You are at the age where you want to level up your earnings immediately and get paid to keep sharpening your writing skills. The best resources for that are the members of GPC.
2. You are far better than the whole Internet because your experience is gold. You’ve done it for yourself, and you can help others. Specifically, hundreds of millions of people and businesses need help with their digital writing, scaling their message, capturing leads, converting customers, and standing out online. They don’t need another course, and they don’t have time for 30-day challenges or 60-day workshops. They need a boost up on their writing horse right now and enough wisdom from you so they can get going and not fall off.
3. You love reading and know it’s the reward for an entire morning of writing. The internet was originally designed to make us better—informed, skilled, and equipped to face life’s challenges. Now? It’s optimized to keep us engaged and consuming more. Does any website want us to leave the platform to apply what you’ve learned? Not at all.
4. The math and the principles of a healthy life still apply—produce more than you consume. Budget more time for writing than reading. Budget time for sleep, movement, relationships, and nature.

5.  You are forging your path—no longer following others. You are past the age where you try to look cool, seem knowledgeable, or appear persistent without genuinely cultivating those qualities. You draw inspiration from deep, meaningful values and no longer care about shallow trends. You write to create something authentic and something to marvel at.

6. You finally learned to love yourself and no longer chase the bait on countless sites that claim they’ll make you a better version of yourself. We’ve wasted enough time and money to realize others focus on weaknesses, and they exploit flaws. They capture our attention with cognitive tricks and don’t let go. We don’t need anyone to fix us. We need to follow our own systems and routines for writing and stick with what works for us.

7. You are getting better every day at overcoming your procrastination habits. Somewhere around 45 or so, you finally see that nobody is judging you as harshly or as often as you do. Nobody is waiting for you to fail. Your readers and the people you love to serve are busy with their own transitions, routines, dreams, and work.

8. Creativity and curiosity call you to keep writing. You don’t want to watch others do amazing things. You want to spend the rest of your days doing amazing things. With your whole body, you want to engage and explore the world.

9. You don’t want AI to write your book. If you think you have the time and a paying audience for a book, you know you have more than enough lived experience, wisdom, intuition, and interviews with thousands to write a page-turner kind of book.

10. You are here to write and delight instead of searching for more to consume. You have something to say, and you don’t want to waste it on people who are not worthy of your most precious asset—your time and your one life. That’s why you are so over mass marketing, blast emails, Twitter, Facebook, advertising, trade shows, and anything that tries to throw a ton of spaghetti on the wall, hoping some noodles will stick. You know what your gifts and talents are. You know the kind of person who wants to learn what you can show them—because that was exactly you, back when you were their age.

Do you feel like you’re on the edge of something amazing, and you just can’t figure out what it is? That’s where I come in. My name is Georgia Patrick. I work with curious, intense, understanding professionals—still in practice and retired, to tap into their full potential and get extremely clear on their gift (their value) to individuals actively seeking such wisdom. It starts with an email. Maybe later, a short call to make sure I understand you.
