Every Sunday I like to write about 3 things that are on my mind.
Sometimes these things are about business…
Sometimes they’re about life…
And other times they’re just truly random things on my mind.
So with that said…
Let’s dive into the first thing on my mind this morning…
1. The most valuable thing you can have online is an audience that knows who you are and that trusts you
You can build an audience in a lot of ways…
Podcasting…
Emails…
Youtube…
It all works.
What matters is that you actually do it.
Most people never do.
And it’s why they struggle to have a long term business.
I’m a huge proponent of running paid ads and generating customers through that.
However…
If you’re not building a real audience, you’re missing out.
Cause that’s where the long term success is.
Alright let’s hop to the second thought on my mind this morning…
2. One of the best things you can do for your life is to “peel away” all the programming inside you, and figure out what it is that YOU want
Every year I get older, I realize more and more that different people want different things…
Some people love living in big cities, while others love living in the country…
Some people love being single, while others love their family life…
Some people want to run a massive $50 million business, while others are happy making 6-figures and not having much stress.
Different strokes for different folks.
I can tell ya from experience that it’s important to figure out what it is that YOU want.
Cause most of what you want in life is based on your upbringing.
It’s based on what you learned from your parents…
Or the town you grew up in…
And that programming runs deep.
It’s only when you start to critically think about things, and start to ask “what is it that I really want?” that you can break away from this.
Which is why I suggest doing it.
Figure out what you like…
Figure out what you don’t like…
And start building your life (and your business) around that.
That’s a simple idea, but it’s one that will make your life a whole lot better if you take it to heart.
Alright let’s do one more of these…
3. There’s real power in not pushing too much, and simply letting things come to you a little more
Letting things come to me is something that’s been on my mind a lot.
Mostly with business…
But also with dating…
I’ve realized that the more I push, and the more I try to make things happen, the less likely they are to happen.
Which is not easy for me to wrap my mind around.
I’ve always been the kind of guy who sees what I want and then I put a plan in place to make it happen.
Well, the world doesn’t always work that way.
Sometimes you’re trying one thing over and over while the universe is showing you another path that you should take (but you’re too blind to see it).
That might sound a little “woo woo”…
But I’m starting to believe it more and more.
It’s why I’ve been trying to be more aware of just letting things happen.
My mindset is basically “if things work out with what I’m focused on, great”…
But if not, there’s plenty of other opportunities coming my way.
That’s a good spot to be in.
I’m not forcing a square peg into a round hole.
I’m letting things come to me a little more.
Make sense?
I hope so.
Cause that’s all I got for today.
Hope you got a nugget or two from this…
Enjoy your Sunday.
