🏎️ *THREAD* - Pulling the trigger

The NUMBER ONE REASON why we don't start
School has wired the bad habit & belief

That we need YEARS of STATIONARY study on a entire topic to then be 'good enough to start working'

Reality = find SPECIFIC problem in demand, in 14-90 days get what you need to solve it

🔑 Ask yourself this honest question....
Do I have what I need to start?
Enough for the first 7 days

NOT what you'll need in 2 months
NOT your opinion on if you FEEL good enough
NOT total mastery of trivia

Enough to effectively (NOT PERFECTLY) effectively deliver on a demand right now

If the answer is no...
🔎 MAKE CLEAR what is the SPECIFIC thing you feel you are missing

> How to use the email software to deliver a result
* Find content, add to strategy, then start

> Graphic design in my posts
*Find content, make templates, START

Here's the problem...
🔑 We ATTACH to the vague FEELING of being 'not good enough'

Make it not vague

Unmask the feeling:
IDENTIFY the SPECIFIC reason why you feel you can't start yet

The EXACT strategic element you feel is not clear yet

Make it clear, get what you need, THEN START
Beginner Formula:
SPECIFIC + UNDER-PROMISE/OVER-DELIVER

You only need competence not expertise to get paid

You don't need to know everything about cars

Learn the tire aspect (promise tire change) + throw in a free wash

Work toward mastery while apprenticing in a specific
🌲 But there is another reason why we don't start...

It's more rampant in younger generations

🔑 Not serving the season - aka being picky before you have options

This is a secret that can be applied to everything
When I had lost everything I had no money

For months I was frustrated & broke

It was because I was being PICKY

The things we REALLY want to do often take YEARS to build

Both in infrastructure and our personal skill

Here's how I fixed it...
Instead of being picky I decided to go direct and do some work for clients in an area I was good at

Emails, Social Media, etc

Went from $0 to $7000/month right away ONCE I STOPPED BEING PICKY

This is what it means to serve the season
That money gave me room to breathe, money to invest

The ability to work in the background on the bigger project without having to forcefully rush it

🔑 You can go on dates, it doesn't mean it has to turn into a long term relationship
Being a client email marketer ain't the long term play

It was a necessary stepping stone for the long term play. It was a cool date, a fling. Not the relationship

🔑 In going on dates you get better at going on dates

Skills I learned in doing that work I now use in my business
"It's all practice for the big moments"

"This moment contains all moments"

Don't view it as a waste of time because it didn't turn into your wife/husband

Enjoy the date. Learn from the date

Those dating skills are VERY needed for when the 'special one' comes along
Your work is the same

Elements of what you're doing no matter how different it may seem DO CONTRIBUTE to your overall skills as a person

Skills I learned as a personal trainer I still use today
"It's ALL practice for the big moments"

Serve the season
Don't be picky at first
🏎️ Summary

- You only need competence to play not mastery

- The 'im not ready feeling' is not the compass of WHEN to start, it's a TOOL to question what you might be missing

Make clear the SPECIFIC 'why' on a checklist of what you feel is needed to start
- Get what is needed TO START not COMPLETE

What do you need NOW

Not next month

Like a video game, you see what is needed NOW. As you walk through it the map loads

- Serve the season: ask yourself what season are you in. don't get picky until you have options to be picky with
Being picky without options is stagnation, stubbornness.

Being stubborn in a world that's always rotating, moving, and flowing leads to suffering

- Be FIRM in the overall vision, but willing to PIVOT to serve this specific season
"Feedback determines strategy not self worth"

Get that first small win as soon as possible
It shows your mind it's possible

"Make it real"
Until you put yourself out there it is a dream a possibility
Once it's in reality it is probability
