We spend so much energy trying to predict the outcome.
Progress rarely comes from certainty.
It comes from taking the next step before certainty arrives.
"The only thing you really have in your life is time. If you invest that time in your self, to have great experiences that's gonna enrich you, then you can't possibly lose." - Steve Jobs, 1994
Meta made it stupidly easy for almost anyone to run ads on their platform.
They even supply you with a bunch of feel good recommendations.
That way, most people who don't know what they are doing can burn a lot of money.
Great strategy. 😆
Sometimes you know what to do but you are just not doing it.
And this is exactly one of the things a coach helps you with.
A few years back, I wanted to start working out. I even bought some gym equipment and setup a mini gym in my house. I thought having the gym in the house would motivate me to workout.
But months passed by and I didn't use them.
Then one day, I decided to hire a personal trainer who would come to my house 4 times a week to train me.
Guess what? I instantly started to train 4 times a week by force.
My point - Get a coach today for things you want to achieve.
Start with one you can afford. Upgrade later if need be.
Elon Musk did not become a different person when he landed in America.
In South Africa, he may still have been brilliant, restless, and ambitious, but the environment would not have given him the same room to build SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and everything else.
Talent matters. The country you build in decides how much of that talent can become real.
@JohnDVillarreal@UCBerkeley Don’t sweat it, most degrees are fake and most schooling is fake (including my Econ degree).
The important part is continuing to self-educate, out of genuine curiosity.
Knowledge is your most valuable asset as a solopreneur.
Invest in learning and adapting to industry changes.
The more you know, the further you'll go.
Never stop learning.
