The pen is mightier than the sword, but the internet is even mightier!

As of writing this post Isabella Hoesch has a heady bank of 34 followers, one of them being, me!

Yet it won’t be long before she has many more.

Unlike me, she did what we are all supposed to do, that is, write her ‘About Me’ page, right up.

Unlike me, she knew exactly what she wanted to say.

Unlike me, she did as she was advised. She says:

“Well, for one I like the “About me” etiquette here on Medium. On the other hand, I do want to get started sharing more of what I’m learning and thinking about as a founder in the tech education+willpower space. A very very interesting field and I invite you to follow along!”

Get that! She invites you to follow along.

Unlike me, who coward that I am, just kind of hoped people would read me, and follow.

Sadly, that didn’t happen.

It’s what I deserved.

You can’t just kinda HOPE that people will follow you. You have to make your writing so…
