If you missed Thursday’s Your Next Chapter LIVE, the replay is ready.
And this one may save you a whole lot of unnecessary creating. 😄
Because most content creators do this:
Create an article.
Send an email.
Record a video.
Do a LIVE.
And then immediately ask:
“Okay… what should I create next?”
Meanwhile, sitting behind us is a giant pile of content we created once, used once, and barely touched again.
So in this week’s show, I want you to stop asking:
What should I create next?
And start asking:
What Else Can This Become?
Because there may be a whole lot more money sitting inside what you’ve already created than inside whatever you’re thinking about creating next.
In the replay, you’ll discover:
The 3 stories that keep creators stuck on the content hamster wheel:
MORE — “I need more content.”
NEW — “It has to be something new.”
NEXT — “Okay, what do I create next?”
And then the 3 moves that help you get more from what you already have:
REUSE IT
Let one good idea do more than one job.
An article can become an email.
An email can become a LIVE.
A LIVE can become clips.
Those clips can become posts.
That isn’t being repetitive.
It’s giving a good idea more chances to find the person who needs it.
PRODUCTIZE IT
Ask a question most creators never ask:
What could someone buy from this?
An article could become a short book.
A series of posts could become a guide.
A LIVE could become a mini-course.
Several LIVEs could become a workshop.
A process you’ve taught repeatedly could become a program.
Which leads to one of my favorite lines from the show:
Your next product may not need to be created.
It may need to be found.
DISTRIBUTE IT
Sometimes your content doesn’t need to be better.
It just needs more chances to get discovered.
Email.
Substack.
Video.
Podcast.
Social media.
If 12 people saw a great idea three years ago, that doesn’t necessarily mean the idea failed.
Maybe the distribution failed.

I created a simple tool to help you take one piece of content and give it up to 10 different jobs:
Article
Email
LIVE
Replay
Director’s Cut
Short book
Clips
Social posts
Tools
Offers
You’re not coming up with 10 different ideas.
You’re giving one good idea more jobs.

Your Challenge for This Week
Before you create one more thing…
go find something you’ve already created.
Then ask:
How can I reuse it?
How can I productize it?
How can I distribute it?
And above all:
What Else Can This Become?
Because you probably don’t need more content.
You need to make more from the content you’ve already created.
Watch the Replay Above
And next Thursday, we switch to the other kind of content we work with around here:
The content you carry.
Next week:
What If It’s Not Too Late?
How to Stop Letting Your Age, Your Past, or Your Mistakes Decide What Happens Next
See you then.
And until then…
go make that old content earn its keep. 😄
