All successful creators do this one thing, and no credibility tactic or thumbnail design will save you from this mistake. I recently went into deep research mode after nobody was booking discovery calls with me for my high-ticket coaching. I dove deep into all the tactics: - Ideas - Titles - Avatar - Thumbnails - Offer creation - Credibility hacking - Funnels & Automation Clearly, these things work. 🤬 But they weren't working for me.🤬 And I've discovered why. The people who execute these and have had great success (Andrew Kirby, Hamza, Dan Koe, etc) all share one key trait. They ARE the person people want to be. They KNOW the stuff they're sharing works. They have CONVICTION when they're sharing it. They KNOW in their BONES that what they're sharing will change lives. And they BELIEVE it's their duty to share what they've learnt with others. Because it changed theirs. THEY are the offer. THEY are the foundation that the META rests upon. And so when they show up on camera, people listen, because they present themselves in a way that commands authority. THEY can't be ignored. Because something deep within you can SENSE these people are genuine in what they're sharing. And you want a taste of what they have. @Andrew Kirby touched on this, when he said you can make money online by being yourself, BUT you MUST be the BEST version of yourself. So if you're struggling (Like I am), it's time to take a look at yourself. What are you doing/thinking/believing/consuming that's holding you back from the person you know the world needs you to show up as? What's the mission, true to you're heart, that you're willing to dedicate yourself to? Are you showing up as the LEADER people need you to be? Remember, if you're the business, that's where you need to dedicate the work. BE the transformation you're inviting people into. And everything else will build on top of that.

Here's what I've learned.

Ok ok, I know it isn’t the best video. But at the time of uploading I thought it was pretty good and when I looked backed at it I saw so many things wrong with it and would like to know where I could improve on it(mostly the intro & the music in it). Anyways, why didn’t it go viral? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xadu0jlG09g&t=3s

I have managed to unplug from social media almost entirely using a combination of routines and app-blocking software, but I find that while I have gained a lot of mental clarity, I have lost a pulse on what people are talking and making content about online. As a result, I feel this empowered sense of self-control but ironically a sense of being stuck and untethered to anything. Not sure how balance content consumption (for inspiration and education) with the removal of distractions for the purpose of work-related output. Can anyone else relate?
