Amplify Your Personality
People are ultimately going to buy (or not buy) you.
If you build a brand around a personality that is not you (or you don't like) you'll hate your business.
Plus it won't work. People are smart and will see through it...being yourself is worth more if you embrace it.

Choose one medium. Master it. Then build redundancy.
If you’re trying to write, talk, speak, podcast, etc; you’re probably not doing a great job at all of them and you’re going to end up repelling a section of people who would connect with you if you’d just go all in on one.

Humans never genuinely pursue happiness; they only pursue relief from uncertainty. Happiness emerges momentarily as a byproduct whenever uncertainty briefly disappears.

Most people say: “I just can’t find the time to x.”
The thing about priorities is that you never “find the time”.
If it’s a real priority you create the time.
Change it from:
“I can’t find the time” to “I’m going to create the time.”
Then fill that space in with whatever your priority is.

No nothing.
And yet, you still perform.

"One of my favorite definitions of imposter syndrome: the fear that other people are judging me as harshly as I’m judging myself."
