I wasted 2 years doing NOTHING with my freelance talent - and it nearly cost me everything.

The gate was never locked. You're just looking at it the wrong way.

@mskoriwilson The perfect time is now. Build the thing, film the video etc. Do it today and tomorrow and the day after and the day after that . . . . .

@stijnnoorman Came across a video that really drove this home.

The point was a dumb guy that consistently keeps posting, keeps making videos, whatever, every day will be far more successful than the PHD who overthinks things and keeps looking for perfection over action. Nailed it!

@kaleighf I think that's why so many people with amazing potential never get off the ground. They just can't bring themselves to make the committment consistently over time that it takes to grow and succeed as a creator.

@BonaFideSammie @FoxNews It is up to them to fight for their own independence

ESPN rules analyst Dave Jackson on the Hurricanes' game-tying goal: "To me, this is a no-brainer. It's an easy call... That's a good goal all day. Glad they didn't challenge, because I guarantee you they would have lost the challenge, and they'd be killing a penalty now." 🏒🎙️🦓

I spent years blaming everything except the mirror.

Nobody held me back. I just wasn't ready to admit that yet.

Here's the one mindset mistake that cost me 10 years of freelance growth 👇

Growth happens every day. Show up. Stay consistent. Look back in 1 year. The person you were will be unrecognizable.

Google's AI knows where the best content is.

The regular search results don't show it.

Same search. Two completely different tiers of quality.

I broke down why this happens - and the research habit that fixes it 👇

@AnthonyGaenzle Simplify and stay on message for sure.

The only one who's usually impressed with your big words are yourself and your mom. Lol.

I fired a high-paying client.

Not because the money wasn't good.
Because my business was running me — not the other way around.

That moment changed how I build my freelance business forever.
In Episode 3 of my Task Management series I break it down :

@mskoriwilson It's an amazing realization!

No one's coming to save you. They have their own challenges to deal with.

You might not be able to prevent everything that happens to you, but you can control how you react in that moment.

Don't blame others. Don't blame the Universe. Take action!

[Al Calder @almac1972]

@stijnnoorman Every creative person that ever walked this planet from Aristotle, to Einstein, to Steve Jobs - all of them borrowed from others and created something new.

Something powerful.

It's okay to "steal" from those who came first.

Just make it better.

Make it your own!

[Al Calder @almac1972]

@AnthonyGaenzle It's a mental load off your shoulders when you finally accept it for sure.
