January is a liar, but the algorithm is worse
On Monday, I did something incredibly stupid. I spent six hours sitting at my desk editing a YouTube video. I was adding flashy text overlays, complex motion graphics, and clean transitions. I was trying to make it look exactly like what the 25-year-old internet marketing gurus tell you to do to "hack" the system. It was an exhausting, self-inflicted waste of time. And you know what it added to the value of the video? Zero. My best-performing videos have always been simple, raw conversations where I look you in the eye and solve a high-stakes business problem using real judgment. My audience never asked for flashy editing. I was just chasing shiny objects. So yesterday, I shut down the computer. I grabbed my phone, walked outside into the park, and recorded an unscripted, unfiltered message for me. If you are an established expert trying to build an online business, and you feel like you are slowly losing your sanity trying to perform like a manufactured robot for a social media platform... Stop what you are doing right now and take a walk with me. It is your business. It is your craft. Stop letting a computer algorithm dictate how you show up. Brian PS: The length of your content is irrelevant. The flashy editing is noise. The real buyers in your ecosystem want your raw judgment, not a performance. Let's get off the hamster wheel.

I just saw that video on YouTube. Loved it!

@Brian O'Neill you bet! That making a video with flashy things does not matter if my audience doesn’t get the message. My raw video is enough and that makes me feel good because I sometimes think my videos don’t look good enough.
🔕 The 5 Signs You’re Still Stuck in Research Mode
Be honest with yourself. Which one is you? 1.You’ve watched more trainings than you’ve published posts. 2. You’ve changed your niche 3+ times. 3. You keep saying “I’m almost ready to launch.” 4. You save content about starting a business… but don’t start yours. 5. You feel busy learning, but nothing you’ve built exists yet. None of these mean you’re lazy. They mean you’re stuck in what I call research comfort. It feels productive. It feels responsible. It feels safe. But it’s still stuck. Most people don’t fail because they chose the wrong idea. They fail because they never chose one long enough to build momentum. Which number are you right now?

That was definitely me a few short months ago, but I finally did take action and continue to take action, but my mind definitely wants to go back into research mode, lol!
What is everyone up to today?
It's Sunday, we have people from all the world in this growing community. It might already be Monday for some. How do you typically spend your Sundays? Let's get to know each other a bit more.

Well, I just got home from church and I have some free time now before I go to the movies this evening. I'm actually getting ready to continue on in the classroom here with your videos/lessons.
The Reason You’re Still Stuck Isn’t Lack of Information
It’s something worse. You’re not stuck because you don’t know what to do. You’re stuck because you haven’t done it yet. And before you argue with me… I’ve looked at hundreds of responses, polls, and conversations from people trying to build something of their own. The pattern is undeniable. Most people aren’t building. They’re researching. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 People think they’re making progress because they’re: • watching another training • buying another course • tweaking another idea • planning another strategy But none of that is building. That’s mental motion, not real motion. You can spend months rearranging ideas in your head and still be standing in the exact same place. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 3 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 Every stalled builder I’ve worked with runs into the same trio: Fear. Overthinking. Perfectionism. They don’t show up as villains. They show up sounding responsible. “I just want to make sure this is right.” But what’s really happening is this: You’re trying to buy certainty before you act. Certainty doesn’t come before action. It comes after. “𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲” 𝗜𝘀 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 Most people are still operating like employees. They’re waiting for instructions. Waiting for permission. Waiting for the perfect time block. Waiting for clarity. Builders don’t wait. They move first. Clarity follows motion... not the other way around. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 - 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 You don’t get to decide when your offer is good enough. The market does. Customers don’t buy perfect. They buy useful. The fastest way forward is simple: Launch messy. Adjust fast. Repeat. Simple wins because simple ships. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘁 You don’t need more information. You need a decision. A decision to move before you feel ready. A decision to act while it’s uncomfortable. A decision to stop negotiating with fear. Because progress doesn’t happen when fear disappears. Progress happens when you move anyway.

Wow! This is what I like so much about you. This is why I've joined this community. You lay it bare but state the complete truth. You know exactly what I and others are going through because you have experienced the exact same thing before. I want to be known as the one that finally took action.
🟢 Business Mindset
The reason I struggled with so many side hustles and failed attempts (26 in 14 years) was because I didn't have the right mindset for business. I learned so many bad habits from school and the corporate world that did not transfer over to business. I had to unlearn a lot of things. The good news is that anyone can work on their mindset. Just like anything, it takes practice and a long term commitment. Do you think the have the right mindset to be a business owner? Vote in the pool and then tell me your biggest mindset roadblock. P.S. Are you on the waitlist for the 90-day execution sprint? The official announcement is going out today and you have to be on the waitlist to get it. Click here to get added

My biggest roadblock (blocks) has been consistency and overthinking. I overthink things too much and that can at times keep me from taking action and I definitely want to change that.

@Brian O'Neill yes, you are definitely right about that. When it comes down to it, a decision has to be me made and sometimes with the right guidance or help, that decision can be made easier which is what you helped me with today 😁
