"Have you shared your struggles?"
"Have you shared your struggles?"
Generic. Safe. The kind of shit AI writes.
What I actually thought: "Stop trying to sound clever with frameworks. Just share your truth instead of pretending you had it all figured out."
Too harsh. Too direct. Might piss people off.
So I nearly didn't post it.
This is the problem.
I've been doing this gradually through daily reflection. Getting slightly more honest each time.
First it was swearing. That's how I actually talk.
Then making jokes. Because that's what I do in real life.
Then sharing opinions that sit on the edges instead of the safe middle.
Each time I worried it would limit my pool.
Opposite happened.
Started attracting people like me. People I actually want to work with.
See, AI made everyone sound identical.
Which means your actual voice - edges and all - became MORE valuable.
The worst place to be is the middle.
Safe. Polished. Forgettable.
That year jumping between tactics wasn't about finding the right strategy.
It was fear disguised as "finding the right approach."
What changed everything was committing long enough to be myself.
That's when clients started coming.
Daily reflection trains this.
You catch yourself mid-performance. Get slightly braver each time.
The edges you're scared to show connect you to the right people.
