Have you heard this proverb before? If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. The idea is that by working alone, you're not having to wait on anyone, and therefore you move faster. #solopreneur But with a group, you have more input, direction, and support … so you're able to get further. Fortunately, we don't have to make a choice in the writing world … Here, the AWAI community gives you distance AND speed. As a writer, you are in complete control of how fast you move and what you put into your business. The more you put in, the faster you move. And with the community, you can travel paths that have already been traveled, and quickly get questions answered so you keep moving fast … While also going further than you could have gone on your own thanks to the collective knowledge and experience of the group.
