There’s no shortage of information (often free) regarding any subject you can imagine.
What to do with it?
Many are still making a lovely income by organizing it. The best blogs you visit have gathered and sorted information that would have taken you days to find and consume.
There are dedicated study guides to Parkour, Tasting Beer, and Volleyball.
You no longer need to search through files and files to find the guitar tab for a song you like. Now it’s compiled neatly and even shows you how to strum each chord.
Sorting and redesigning information is a lucrative business.
More lucrative, I believe, is putting the information to use. Creating something remarkable.
Teaching a Parkour class for kids. Participating as a beer tasting judge for aspiring homebrewers. Kicking ass on your work’s volleyball team. Writing and performing your own song on a terrace to hundreds of people who don’t know you.
The problem about organizing information is that more information will come out and you’re Ultimate Guide To This or That will no longer be the Ultimate Guide.
The next person too afraid to do will create a guide better than yours and make a few bucks from it, leaving you wondering: what’s next?
If information is really just advice written objectively, than Oscar Wilde had it wrong: The only thing to do with advice isn’t to pass it on, it’s to act on it. Again and again until doing becomes what makes you a healthy income; not organizing.
Stay Positive & The Sorting Department Is Crowded Anyway
