Started with zero followers. Figuring it out in public.
Growth reflections, creative struggles, scattered thoughts.

There will be days where you don't want to sit and write - just stay in the game.

There will be days where you don't want to be online or reply to comments - just stay in the game.

There will be days where you feel overwhelmed by the pace of AI and you will convince yourself its too late for you to catchup - just stay in the game.

There will be days where your bills and your 9 to 5 will take up more of your time than you want - just stay in the game.

There will be days you get no impressions, replies, likes, nada - just stay in the game.

There will be days where that X subscription doesn't look worth it - just stay in the game.

There will be days you get criticised for what you post - just stay in the game.

There will be days where markets dump and try and convince you to panic sell - just stay in the game.

There will be days where self doubt overcomes all else, maybe you had a bad nights sleep - just stay in the game.

@jinjung Jin for the win

@rozzabuilds Man things really change when you change your surroundings!! 🫡

Bring on more positive vibes 😎

You don't have to become smarter but you can always become more strategic. Positioning yourself for the most upside should become second nature - just buy the surfboard, get in the water and just maybe you will catch a wave. You don't need to catch many.

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

There is only so many times you can tell yourself that you will figure out what you should be focusing on before the doubt creeps in that you may not come to an answer. Maybe jotting down thoughts is more of an exercise than it is a vehicle to reach a goal… and that’s ok. The wisest people do things just for the sake of doing them. The enjoyment is in the task.

@JustStartSites Thanks Michael - definitely currently unclear, I could pivot at anytime if I find something else id rather post about for now its all discovery and sharing

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

They say life will reward the specific ask - I guess my issue still is that I am not specific. Specific would be “I want 500 verified Followers” but that is not the whole truth, I don't just want any 500 followers - I want people who actually like me and my posts. Who want to engage. Chasing follows can suck and I know they say you have to grind through these harder periods and its true, but maybe the most enjoyable way through it - is to just post. Plain and Simple.🫡

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

@rozzabuilds Looking forward to seeing tha Hanoi photos too 😎🙌

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

@kvickart This is deep 🤝

Im actually thinking of taking my foot off the gas in terms of standalone posts and just focus on replying to stuff i like instead... makes the whole X experience more enjoyable for me at least and it seems to be the only way I've made connections so far 😂

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

Thats what I was thibking too - just cause you posted it once doesnt mean you cant post it again later but slightly different, many accounts do that weekly

The good thing about posting into the void is your giving yourself more material to use further down the line when you have that following. 🫡

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

@monetization_x Same boat it seems - I thought key was to get followers when I started out but now learning the hard way

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

Is it even possible to plan to be 1 of 1?

Do you just need to have enough faith in being yourself to the max, that you eventually get to a point where you stumble into a clearing and nobody else is there?

AKA nobody can compete with you because you are so YOU it can't be copied.

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

@BTCExodus Exactly 🤝

I want these Mondays but by choice and not circumstance 😂

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

@BTCExodus Legend thank you Carl!

Slow and Steady is letting me connect with actual people like yourself and its so worth it 🫡

Note to Self:

Growing an account is supposed to be hard. If it was smooth sailing, everyone would be doing it. The difficulty is the filter.

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

Isn't it just crazy and dystopian that workplaces decided to disable these backgrounds on your work laptop...

Just so you don't get any "ideas"!😂

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

@rozzabuilds The dream man, im hoping it happens at some point for us both 😂🤝

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

@rozzabuilds Hahah no way!! That makes them extra special in that case 😉😂 you never know you might squeeze another few weeks of exploring in in the right budget 👀🫡

[JamieRatesStuff... @JamieRatesStuff]

@jinjung Jin - you really are my type of guy!
