Chapter 1 Focus on Skill Development

How much time do you find yourself spending scrolling through social media feeds, when that time could be better spent honing your abilities?

We often hear that establishing a solid presence on social media is essential for expanding our audience, building a brand, networking, and pursuing our aspirations. The common belief is that without social media, our work might go unnoticed, making it difficult to gain momentum in our endeavors.

However, what’s the use of investing time and energy into social media growth if the content you plan to share lacks quality? Prioritizing skill development before engaging with social media is critical.

While it’s true that social media can be a powerful asset and, if utilized correctly, can provide significant advantages, it is essential to focus on enhancing your craft first. For instance, if your ambition is to become a leading athlete, your primary focus should be on perfecting your skills to reach the top level of your sport. Once you have achieved something truly remarkable, you can then leverage social media to spread the word.

Many readers may have aspirations related to writing. Today, some social media platforms allow for longer posts, but I believe that platforms like Medium and various blogging sites offer superior opportunities for improving your writing.

On these platforms, you can experiment with diverse formats, incorporate images more effectively, and link to various resources with greater ease than on typical social media platforms. Additionally, I find that social media tends to be more distracting compared to dedicated writing environments.

Ultimately, when pursuing any goal, it’s crucial to concentrate on actions that will genuinely propel you toward your objectives while minimizing distractions. For this reason, I advocate for refining your skills before diving into social media engagement. What are your thoughts on this approach?
