Here's my advice: get over yourself
Transcript
Here's my advice as a moderately successful entrepreneur in New York Tier. Get over worse. Like, literally, get over yourself. If you wanna do something new, if you wanna change your life, if you wanna start that business, if you wanna become a blogger, if you want to write that book, if you wanna host that event, whatever, you have to get over yourself. And this is what I mean by that. The number of dreams that have not been realized because somebody is too embarrassed to even try or to put themselves out there are probably, I don't know, hundreds of millions. And the number of people who've died of embarrassment, as far as I know, is zero. At the beginning, it might just be you who's very into your idea. That is how it was at the Rank Cafe at Happy Medium. I swear to good, there was probably, like, a six month period of me and my cofounder, Rhett, working the Rank Cafe. And all weekend, we'd maybe have three people come in. And you know what? We talked about it anyway. We thought it was a great idea. We believed in it. We put it out there. That there's, like, a visceral pain almost when you're doing something and you're the only one to believe in it, and you have to push through that. And to do that, you just have to get over yourself. So that's my advice for anybody who wants to pick my brain. Get over yourself and just put your ideas and put your experiments into the worse. Try things, change it, and, like, just be so authentically true to your vision and your passions that it doesn't even matter. And then eventually, you're you'll figure out how to market it the right way. And there's definitely, you're not unique. Other people in the world are gonna love it. And then it's going to be a smashing success. Like, that for Happy Medium no, like, it's hard for me to remember, but now I'm feeling it because of this new book launch that there was a time when, like, nobody knew who we worse, and all it took was persistence. So get over worse, hit publish on that thing that you wanna do today, and, let me know how it goes. Good luck.
