We Need To Be Reminded More Than Taught
Talk With The Video
Summary
- Many of us are afraid of harassing our audience by repeating ourselves, but this fear is mostly unfounded.
- Most of your audience doesn't know you exist or hasn't fully understood your message.
- I believe we need reminders more often than we need to be taught something new.
- Your audience also needs reminders more than they need new information.
- It's effective to repeatedly share core messages because people like to be reminded of key lessons.
- I've followed many accounts that consistently share the same four or five core messages, and I find value in those reminders.
- Common reminders I appreciate include being patient, not taking things too seriously, and thinking long-term.
- Repeating core messages helps your audience have positive experiences with you each time they hear them.
- The need for novel content is far less than most creators think.

How To Take Action
Implementing Repeating Core Messages
-
Embrace Repetition: I would suggest not being afraid to repeat your core messages. Most of your audience hasn’t absorbed them yet. Repeating key points ensures they stick.
-
Identify Key Messages: Define the main messages you want to share. Stick to four or five essential lessons that align with your values or business goals. For instance, if you’re an entrepreneur, it might be about patience, strategic planning, and resilience.
-
Consistent Content Creation: A good way of doing this is by creating content around these core messages regularly. Use different formats—blogs, social media posts, emails—but keep the core message consistent.
-
Daily Reminders: Integrate these messages into your daily routine. Post motivational reminders or tips related to these key messages on your social media. People appreciate and often need these gentle nudges.
-
Leverage Low-Cost Tools: Utilize free or low-cost platforms for content distribution. Social media, email newsletters, and blogging platforms are great for this. They help you reach a wide audience without significant expense.
-
Feedback Loop: Encourage interaction with your audience. Ask for feedback or questions related to your core messages. This keeps your audience engaged and helps you understand what resonates most.
-
Align with Personal Growth: For personal growth, apply this repetition strategy to your own habits. Write down your core values and reminders where you can see them daily. It could be as simple as sticky notes on your mirror.
By repeatedly sharing and reminding your audience (or yourself) of these essential messages, you build a stronger connection and reinforce key principles that drive growth and success.
