YOU ARE EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEED TO BE
Everyone around you will always seem to grow and be ahead of you. And yes someone will always be ahead of you in the game. That’s just how it is. There is no getting around it.
HOWEVER, dont fret! You are doing great! You are at the level you need to be based on your experience. You can’t try to beat the level 100 boss when you’re at level 1. You will always lose, no matter what. Build up yourself, your skills, your qualities, your assets so that you can eventually beat that level 100 boss.
It will take work though. You’re gonna be working really hard for a really long time before you even begin to see a shred of that level.
So it’s that much more important to cultivate this one quality: contentment.
Contentment will allow you to find success and progress in everything you do, whether you fail a bunch of times or don’t win (Yes you heard me). You will always lose. But depending on how you view those fails, you can always win. Your wins can be lessons learned, skills acquired, and insight.
So keep failing, keep seeing how you can do bettter, and find the contentment within yourself that you are doing the right thing. You are fine just where you are. And you can keep winning as long as you put your mind in the right place.
Your wins are your wins. No one can dictate whether or not your winning or losing. Schools have dialed us in the mentality that you are winning or losing based on a grade system. However, itdoesn’t have to be that way. You can view anything and everything you do as wins. Big or small.
So go out and crush the game 🤙🏽 cant wait to see those wins

YOU VS YOUR BRAND
Your brand has alot to do with how you present yourself. That’s why it is crucial that you find something that you enjoy talking about because it will essentially be something you talk about as long as you are posting on the internet, in whatever way, video, podcasts, blog. So find that thing that resonates with you the most. Find that thing that you love so much and are passionate about and willing to learn more about day in and day out.
Once you find THAT thing, you will find yourself in a better position in the long run, 1 year, 5 years, 20 years down the road. That’s why you’ll be wanting to choose something that you personally can always talk about.
Now with brand, there is no definitive formula. Overtime, you start to become your brand.
Take for instance, Nike. The infamous “swoosh” is the logo that displays Nike, but it represents the brand that it stands for. It’s so interesting how these various companies throughout time have developed their brand that stands for something than just the logo itself.
McDonalds has the red and gold colorway with the golden arches
Ferrari has the prancing horse.
But then there are other companies like Disney that don’t have a logo necessarily. But they still represent a brand, whether you talk about the parks, the movies, the cruises.
So it doesn’t matter what you do as your brand… You just have to create your brand that represents you.
Be open, be honest, be authentic.
It’s the best way to show up, and it allows you to keep showing up long term. Most times, people who try to build their brand are not one of those things, and end up burning out, because they are not themselves essentially.
So allow yourself to create a brand that represents who you are and your values and your ideals. What is important to you, people will resonate with most. And that’s all it comes down to.

AM I GOOD ENOUGH AT WHAT I DO?
Every business owner, influencer, entrepreneur I’ve learned about has always gone through the various phases of doubt.
“I’m not good enough”
“I Don’t know enough”
“ I’m not as good as Mr/Mrs So-And-So”
“I’ll never get to that point in my life”
Myself included.
And that’s natural. Our minds don’t think the best things all the time 24/7. If only, right? But what we can do is convince our minds that we are enough, that we are capable, that we do have the ability and the confidence to crush the game.
Many will conclude that their success is based off of the results that they get. But that is not completely true. True success doesn’t stem from the ability to have a lot money, a lot of followers, a huge company. True success is just failing less often. Maybe one day, you’ll fail so less that you’ll actually be good at it. However, your persistence, your endurance, your ability to say to yourself “well im not getting the results i want, but i want it so bad that im gonna keep doing it regardless of what people say to me” will allow you to achieve something way beyond anything you can create in this world.
Your self worth and your self confidence is what drives the brand. When you can take what you have and work with it and make the best of the situation, then you put yourself at an advantage versus everyone else. Poeple like to think that they need the best equipment, they need the best people, they need the best training. Hehe funny story, you don’t necessarily need those things… I guarantee there are services out there that allow you to do the things you want to do… for example, want to market? Well you have social media that allows you to do that for the fair price of $0. Wil you have to put in the work? You betcha. Wiil it be worth it in the end? Even more so.
So pick and choose your battles. Are you willing to struggle even though the payoff will be worth it?
Find that energy within you that pushes you to endure. Everyone has it in them. You might need someone else to reveal it for you. But i know for a fact that you do have it, and it’s waiting to be unleashed.
So go out there and find it. And crush the game 🤙🏽

10X RULE
Have you heard of the 10X rule?
Grant Cardone designed this 10X Rule to establish the standard for business or any kind of venture in life. You need to anticipate certain parameters in your life to see the success that you desire, that you want to see. Not only does it involve assessing the level of effort necessary to realize a goal, it also includes adjusting your thinking so that you can dare to dream at leavels previously unimaginable.
I highly recommend that you consider where you are at, and what it actually realistically, practically takes to achieve such goals. Business requires certain things to thrive and to survive. You as the owner need to understand your role. You nourish the business. You give it what it needs to stay alive. But what does your business need to stay alive? Yes that is the question. What does your business NEED? Find that answer. embrace that answer. Then start taking action.
Your ability to discover that answer will allow you to see things from the correct perspective. What is interesting is the expectation we set when going into something versus the expectation that is set by someone who has done what have already done. Would you take advice from someone who has what you want? Would you be willing to follow the counsel and direction they give you? Would you doubt that they have what you need to be successful?
Principally speaking, whatever you think your trajectory for your business is, 10x it. If you want to help 10 clients, shoot for 100. because now, you will inherently accomplish that 10 regardless. And there’s no doubt about it if you shoot high enough. One of the biggest reasons that most businesses don’t thrive is because the owner doesn’t imagine big enough for him/herself as the owner, the one providin the nourishment.
Now am i saying that you need to sleep 1 hour every night and work every other hour of the day? absolutely not. what i AM saying is that if you want your business to be successful and if you want to be successful, you gotta see through the lens of success, not what you want to see necessarily.
Now head to your drawing board, and go crush the game.

QUALITY VS QUANTITY
This is ultimate sauce right here. How do you create a brand, a business, a service that allows you to market yourself online daily, while still maintaining the high level of quality for each post.
At the end of the day, you just have to find something that you are neck deep, undyingly, obsessed with. Something that you can just wake up and start talking about.
Something that you talk about and your friends are so sick of hearing it.
something that you can never get sick of learning about.
something that gives you drive.
Something that motivates you to get up and going in the morning.
Something that brings you joy and happiness and contentment all simultaneously. Something that want to bring to the world
Something that you can never stop talking about
Why is this important? Well social media is all about the numbers. The more you post content and the more you post consistently, the more you will get outreach. Plain and simple. But when you talk about something that’s important to you, well your content is already quality. You don’t have to worry about the bells and whistles. Just get the content out there. Because when someone views your video and sees how passionate you are about whatever you’re talking about, sports, relationships, dogs, etc, then they will be excited about what you talk about. That’s the type of following you want, the type where people follow you based on your passion, NOT what you say. What you say is irrelevant when people trust you.
I’ve seen it time and time again. In good ways and bad, there were many times that people respected a leader based on their beliefs and their morals, than on who they are as a person or what they say. It’s as simple as that.
So before locking down exactly what you want your brand to be, experiment. Talk about certain things on your channel. And then figure out if that’s actually the thing you want to do. It took my 4 years to get to this point where I want to talk social media content marketing. I was in various niches previously and just recently did i find the one thing that I feel passionate about. And that’s just how it goes. It may take time, but put yourself out there to just see what you want to do.
And if you’re young, don’t fret you have time.
And if you’re well seasoned, don’t fret you have time
