Hi Reader,
Okay, can we talk about those DMs you keep getting?
You know the ones...
"Hey, could you show me how you did that?" or
"Your work is amazing - any chance you could walk me through your process?"
I know, I know - you probably brush them off with a quick "Oh, it's nothing special!" (Trust me, I used to do the exact same thing! 🙈)
But here's what I've learned: those questions in your inbox aren't just random curiosity.
They're actually little gold nuggets pointing to something bigger.
Every time someone asks about your process or wants to learn your secrets, they're waving a tiny flag that says "Hey! I'd love to learn from you!"
And all those problems you've solved?
The mistakes you figured out the hard way?
The little shortcuts you've discovered?
That's exactly what someone else is struggling with right now.
I'm popping into your inbox today because I think it's time we had an honest chat about these teaching moments.
Because whether you realize it or not, you're already teaching - and there might be a way to turn that into something pretty amazing...
Curious? Keep reading to see why your "hobby" might actually be your next big opportunity! 👇
