I read this at about 5am this morning on Quora, and I have to tell you, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve been saying something close to this for awhile now, but I never quite gave it enough attention to put it quite as succinctly as this:
Effective people tend to create a lot of content. Content can mean a lot of things - but the rule is always the same, create more than you consume. Ineffective people, on the other hand, spend the majority of their time consuming the fruits of others’ labor. They are consummate lurkers.
It’s go-time.
