Mike Wilson

Everybody was bad at this to begin with, and Mike Wilson says so about himself before saying it about anybody else. His piece on what separates the people who get somewhere argues that nobody arrived with a talent for it, which reads either as relief or as an excuse being removed, depending on where you happen to be standing.

His most practical post recommends five magazines for people running their own businesses, and the reasoning concerns time rather than quality. You could read everything if you had unlimited hours, and starting something is precisely the situation in which you do not.

There is a post on writing articles quickly that treats speed as a skill you build rather than as a compromise you accept, and one on returning to a routine after dropping it, which is the moment most advice ignores completely.

His piece on putting yourself somewhere with no retreat available is the most aggressive thing here and the most memorable.

Read the traits post first if you have been comparing yourself with people who look effortless.
