Learn the art of Creator Alchemy. A powerful guide for writers & creators to transform burnout and self-doubt into their most authentic and impactful work.
Sounds a bit guru-ish to me. How is this formular different to whatever other template based formula is out there. This isn't a dig, it's an honest question.
I love to read the anecdotes that you have already told me <3
Several things I would like to take from this post:
- Profound clarity doesn't arrive like a lightning bolt. It emerges slowly, from the messy experiences that feel like “What the hell am I doing with my life” moments.
-Depth psychology has a name for the parts of ourselves we try to hide or ignore: our failures, our disillusionment, our envy, our procrastination. It’s called the Shadow. (like the shadows that are appearing in my dreams)
-Your own unique personality defines how you create, lead, and find meaning. When you know yourself, you stop trying to follow someone else's path and start walking your own with confidence.
-There is no magic formula for fulfilment and happiness. Forget about that. They’re found in your own experience.
I love how you're creating your voice through writing these posts. Ich bin stolz auf dich! :)
It’s ready Philipp. It’s a little tricky to find since it’s new but if you jump on Podbean app or web browser for Podbean and type in The Substack Frontier, it’s there.
External solution seeking is a perpetual loop until you can truly get quiet and conversate within. You are the Source. Your Source is lost when you give power to the external and stop viewing yourself as that which provides all for you.
The primary goal of any system is its own survival. It has its own interests. A creator platform wants growth. It rewards activity that fuels that growth. Our deepest personal goals are secondary.
I agree, the gold is forged in the mess, not found in a mountaintop epiphany.
Especially liked the idea that procrastination, envy, and confusion aren’t flaws to eliminate but data to examine. This shift in perspective somewhat turns shame into curiosity.
And I loved the implementation examples of your framework from your own life.
Instead the heart matters

Having a bias for action is the necessary first step.
"Bias for action" is powerful concept. Love that.

I appreciate your honest feedback. Maybe you can tell me why you think that is the case?
Because you're providing a formula (template).
The goal is to stop accumulating more knowledge and using what you already have. I wrote another article that goes deeper into that.
There shouldnt be any fear of more of the right type of knowledge as no one is deprived with individuals having more.
"It’s time to reject the guru's map. It only leads back to their checkout page." That was a mic drop moment. Great read.
Thanks Priscilla, I appreciate that a lot.

Great article Phillip! Definitely see remnants of myself in this. I’m sure many others will agree.
Thanks Nicholas, I appreciate that a lot.
this article is now featured and narrated in my next episode. And you’re welcome mate.
That's incredibly. Let me know when it's finished. I'm excited to listen to it.

Great read Phillip - thank you.
Love the idea of the "Source."
As you rightly pointed out, that perpetual loop is a craving for external validation. It applies not just to the "guru" industry.
99% of online entrepreneurs have the same experience like you (and I) and yet this isn't viral... how?!
Good question...
The primary goal of any system is its own survival. It has its own interests. A creator platform wants growth. It rewards activity that fuels that growth. Our deepest personal goals are secondary.
But we can build leverage to change the system.
A great read, Philipp!

Great piece!
Thanks Nik, that means a lot to me.
I was somewhat hesitant to share the examples.
Wau, my words! Thinking is suffering.
