What is the common element of every story involving a hero? Massive levels of stress and anxiety.
You wouldn't want to feel extremely confident by default, without having had to earn it through mentally trying, stressful, and anxiety-inducing situations.
So go through them.

The 2 books that made me the most money had nothing to do with money.
1. Awareness by Anthony DeMello
2. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Most business challenges are a result of mindset, not skill set.
A pattern I've noticed in successful people:
They block out the world for a dedicated amount of time each day. No distractions, full focus, harnessing the limited creative ability of their mind to build and maintain their ideal lifestyle.
Writing is medicine. Writing is spiritual practice. Writing is a catalyst for reflection, growth, and understanding.
Let words clean the mirror of your mind and open the gates of your heart. Keep them flowing from your fingers like an endless fountain of aliveness.
Write!
The biggest difference between high-achievers and everyone else…
Is NOT skill level.
I’ll say it again.
And again. And again.
Until you get it.
The difference is self-activation.
They can wake up and say “today I’ll do X - REGARDLESS of circumstances.”
And do it.
Feature -> benefit -> benefit of the benefit.
• Bad: Get a nutrition plan.
• Better: Get a nutrition plan so you can lose weight.
• Best: Get a nutrition plan so you can lose weight and feel comfortable taking your shirt off at the beach.
USE ALL THREE IN YOUR COPY.
Probably the most important story happening right now has gotten virtually no attention. So let’s give it attention.
Saudi Arabia and Iran— Sunni & Shiite Muslim— are sworn enemies, yet China just brokered a peace deal between them. China.
But wait there’s more
Saudi Arabia is talking about settling their oil trades in the Yuan, replacing the dollar. This is in spite of being allied with the US.
But I’m not done yet.
There is also discussion of Saudi Arabia and Iran joining the BRICS alliance.
-Brazil
-Russia
-India
-China
-South Africa
“But Josie what are the consequences of that?”
That would mean all of the major oil producing countries in the world would be part of the same alliance. These countries also make up half of the global population. And I imagine there would be a level of protection safeguarding Iran from American invasion.
Most apparent, there is no need or room for the US in this new boys club. There is no seat at the table of this super alliance.
For those who cannot see the catastrophe The Deep State has made of our country, our values, and our global status, who take our Bill of Rights for granted, spend all the time and resources prosecuting political dissenters, and victimize themselves over sins they never experienced because they have it so damn good they have to sit there and make up ways to self exploit — I just don’t think there is any saving these people.
Stop trying to sound clever.
You don’t have to reduce your writing down to the least common denominator and dumb it all the way down, but you want your writing to be simple and clear.
This means:
•Reduce adverbs
•Avoid using jargon
•Omit needless words
•Condense paragraphs and sentences
•Cut long-winded anecdotes from your posts

You either play the relevance game...
Or the "scratch the surface" game.
There's no middle ground when the topic is sales.
People either see your value or they won't.
There's no...
"I'll check on him again next week to see if his value is clearer."
That doesn't exist.
Sorry.
If I had to start from scratch, I'd monetize my writing in this order
1. Medium (mostly for practice)
2. Freelance writing
3. Affiliate marketing
4. Create an online course or coaching program
5.. Publish a book for credibility & leads
"I'm not a good enough __ ."
Fill in the blank with your "excuse."
"I'm not a good enough..."
"...salesperson."
"...writer."
"... developer."
"...?."
Nobody is born a natural at anything.
You become good with practice.
And by showing up.
It's a journey.
Not a moment.

You can't build a business on top of your 9 to 5 without sacrifices
•You can't watch TV. 3-4 hours a day
•You will have to work on weekends sometimes
•You will have to say no to parties and random requests from friends
This message might not make you feel good, but it's true
You can be too smart for your own good.
High IQ types are too good at spotting downsides, they think too much, and they hesitate because they are making too many mental calculations.
It pays to be a little bit "dumb" and just take action.
