Are you just browsing TFF endlessly, looking at other people's journeys and successes, wishing you can do the same?
It's okay. One day, you'll be one of those people.
Are you full of brilliant ideas, yet allowing all those to be nothing more than pipe dreams, wishing you have the courage to just start?
It's okay. You'll gain more experience with time and find even better ideas in the future.
Are you always buying more and more course, only to never stick with it until you've made your money back and become good at the craft?
It's okay. You just need to find something you really like.
Are you forever jumping from ideas to ideas, never sticking it out until the end, only to have to start again on something else?
It's okay. You're learning something new each time.
First off, let me start by saying it's okay to suck in the beginning.
That does not mean you should accept mediocrity for the rest of your life.
What I mean is that you must look at yourself with ruthless objectivity and know that you might suck right now so you can work towards becoming great.
I know, it's actually physically painful isn't it?
When you know you yourself is a wanterpreneur and you want to become the real entrepreneur you know you can be.
When you know every day you spend action faking is another day wasted, closer to your inevitable death.
When you have to wake up to the 9-5 rat race, building someone else's dream, under some shitty corporate boss.
So what? That is just a small problem and problems are meant to be fixed.
You can either choose to accept your flaws, however painful it might feel at first, and work towards creating a plan to solve those problems, OR, you can keep on walking blindly, pretend nothing is wrong, and fall into the same patterns over and over again.
For me, I realized that the main thing that prevents me from taking constructive action is fear and lack of accountability. I have an idea for an eCommerce product that seems to fit the parameters for success, but I just can't seem to pull through with contacting suppliers, and forking over the cash required to get started. How I plan on solving that problem is I'm going the freelance route to get more income so I can invest larger sums of money without as much fear of loss, and I've shared with people that are close to me what my plans are for the future and so now I feel a lot more compelled to stick with what I've originally planned and decided upon.
So, what is it that is holding you back?
Share your fears, insecurities, success barriers, negative mindsets, and anything else that might be holding you back, so we can break them down one by one and come up with a better plan together.
We are not here to judge, everyone has their own unique sets of circumstances that led to the point that they're in right now.
All we are here to do is reflect upon ourselves, our flaws, especially and set up a system to fix it permanently.
Why share?
Because it holds you accountable as you have a written record of it down somewhere, it is now real and concrete, you cannot do any more convoluted mental gymnastics to avoid looking at your own flaws.
Because writing things down frees up your memory and allow you to think and problem solve with more clarity.
Because things, when looked at at a very close distance can appear to be very big, when in fact, all you need is a little distance, to see it for what it really is. Some problems just require a little bit of outside objectivity.
Because when lots of people of a single purpose comes and work together, the group achieves more and goes further than the individual ever will. If you want to go fast, travel alone. If you want to go far, travel with others.
Because it's basically free and anonymous. I mean you're basically getting free outside opinions on your problems, by people who are focused on problem solving and giving value, you have nothing more to do but sit your a$$ down for 15-30 minutes, reflect on yourself and type. Honestly, if you cannot even do that, maybe you do deserve to fail miserably in life you lazy piece of turd.
So, share your problems so we can solve them together.
Why am I doing this?
Well, a few weeks after I started learning copywriting from Lex, I had an insight. I truly realized for the first time that people are completely ego-centric narcissists, and other people don't even exist in their reality as far as they are concerned. So, when people don't act as you would expect them to, don't be mad, pretend they're just something like a plant, doing it's own thing with no regards to you. I'm also a narcissist 90% of the time, but I'm trying to understand and help people more and more. I'm starting to really understand this thing called empathy. It's really hard for me as I've always been a very logical person, but I believe it's just a skill and practice makes perfect.
So there you have it, by helping you, I'm helping myself learn to understand people, it's a win-win value giving situation for everyone.
Stop reading and share your sticking points goddammit XD I can't be writing a ten page direct response sales letter. I'm also a human being and I've got other stuff to do too.
Much love
