The only way to succeed
Sorry, no magic-pill inside
Hi, it’s Christopher
There’s only one way to succeed,
Consistency.
You can have the perfect plan, the best mentor, and the most effective business model in the world.
But that’s all useless if you don’t commit to the work.
I see this a lot with new creators.
They start creating content, full of hope and expectations.
Then they upload the first few videos and they barely get any views.
Their motivation starts to drop, and the initial optimism dies.
That’s when they start saying things like:
“It’s too saturated”
“This is not for me”
“This content creation thing is all bullshit”
They create all these excuses and then move on to the next “get rich quick” type of business model.
And the vicious cycle starts again.
Keeping them stuck forever.
You see, creating your personal brand takes work.
I had to post content for months before I started to see the smallest results.
I was investing most of my free time into this, and I didn’t have the slightest idea if it was going to work or not.
But I stayed consistent.
I kept posting new videos every week even when I didn’t feel like it.
Even if some people around me were telling me to give up.
And even if I was the one telling me to give up.
But after all the struggle, I finally started to see some progress.
I remember the rush of adrenaline that I got when I saw my first videos going viral…
I had finally found what worked.
At that point, I knew I needed to let go of the break and just push on the gas as hard as I possibly could.
And the growth became exponential.
That’s how I’ve been able to get 500k followers in 10 months.
And the funny thing is that I still worked the same as before.
The hours I worked were still the same, but the results were completely different.
The same input gave a severely different output.
That’s how everything in life works.
At first, you’ll suck.
And because you suck, you won’t see any results.
You’ll have to put all your effort into something that doesn’t give you any gratification.
And the motivation will start dropping…
That’s when most people give up.
But if you resist, you will find the right way and the results will come faster.
When that happens, you’ll be more motivated than ever, and in a brief time, you’ll be flooded with opportunities and successes that you once thought impossible.
But all of that won’t happen without consistency.
If you can’t work without receiving positive reinforcement, you’ll just give up before the compound interest kicks in.
“Your probability of succeeding is strongly correlated with the amount of time you can spend doing the work without receiving positive reinforcement”.
It’s truly amazing how many things you can achieve in life if you just choose to not give up.
So my friend, be consistent with everything you do.
And always remember that the only way to get good is by starting out and sucking.
Hope you enjoyed this,
See you soon,
Christopher
