Don't fall into the same trap I did.
If there's one thing that is universally praised, it's hard work. Hard work gets the bills payed. You earn respect among your peers. And you feel good about yourself. I did too. That's what happened when I made posts abt getting: - 24 members in the first 12 hours of launching my skool. - My first 100 members & sale. - And when I was talking about how I sent about 700 DM's. I was working 12+ hours a day, some in chaos, some in peace. But all in all, I was working damn hard. The only problem? I felt extremely burnt out and disliked what I was doing. And I was being praised for everything I was doing. So in my head I kept on saying "well, people are liking what I'm doing, I'm getting results, so why not just keep on working?" So I did that, for 2 months or so, at this point, I had sent over 3000+ DM's in total and was cooked. I loved the fact that I could work with people I wanted to. But I couldn't stand the pain of doing more of the stuff I hate(marketing via DM's & video content), than the stuff I loved(coaching people & writing). And it wasn't until I heard Sam Ovens talk about his experience with YouTube, and how he hated it so much that something clicked for me. Sam Ovens said this: "If you hate doing something, there's probably something wrong." And there was something wrong with me. The DM's all felt fake. The content felt fake. And I hated being fake. So I hated the content & DM's I was sending. So I decided to be real with myself. The kind of stuff I like doing is: writing, talking to people, and helping them solve the problems I'm good at.
