If you have no talent, then repeat until you do.

I think writing down your thoughts in every note is a very useful tactic when you need to write a big article. For my post today, I had a broad idea about Catch 22. I jotted down the basic structure first. Whenever I came across more interesting ideas that related to this topic, I added them to the note.

Little by little, the scattered pieces formed a complete article.

Yes. I truly believe that talents determines your ceiling. Repetition determines your flooring. Even if not every actor end up in Hollywood, you are still on your way to the life you want.

Brilliant article!!!! These are such great suggestions; I’m going to try them.

I don’t like public speaking and I’ve never thought I was good at story telling.

For me, what has always made the difference is being prepared.

Having a few well rehearsed stories, ideas or concepts already memorised, so it’s easier to recall and then relay them succinctly.

I used to wing it when it came to interviews, bomb badly, get the job if I was really lucky.

But, I learned the hard way, that victory loves preparation. 👌

Simple, read books, write and have discourse. That's it. Everyone I know who has these habits articulates masterfully.

This is so true. Articulation isn’t genius, it’s repetition + refinement. When your core ideas crystallize, everything else flows.

This is incredible, Dan. I think I'm at the beginner-to-intermediate stage in my content journey.

I'm currently applying a similar framework to my videos; Particular the one you described for beginners (the S.N.A.P framework)

---

S- Story (A story that introduces the challenge)

N- Need (The stakes of not resolving said challenge)

A- Answer (How to resolve the challenge)

P- Proof (How I - or someone else - resolved the challenge)...

I should probably incorporate Timeframe (from Hormozi) and Stats (from you) somewhere in here

---

It ties very closely to the practical ideas you've shared.

I will gradually incorporate the more advanced frameworks I've just learned from this detailed letter.

Thanks for sharing

I read your article pieces, to sound more articulate how about that.

Love love love ❣️

This is exactly why some people always sound clear. They are not smarter; they are just pulling from ideas they have refined over and over. Having those anchors changes everything.

I think you’re right that articulation is a skill gap for most people, but I’d add that there’s often a deeper barrier: fear of perception. A lot of people can articulate their thoughts clearly when they’re journaling or talking to a friend. But the moment it’s public, they start self-censoring. They write around what they actually mean. Clarity requires honesty, and honesty feels risky. The skill of articulation matters. But the willingness to articulate boldly, to say something clear enough that people can actually disagree with it, is the harder part.
