Deep dives
Focus on Self-Love and Approval
Many people start businesses in the hope of finding the love and approval they never received from their parents. However, relying on clients, coaches, or money to provide this validation is a flawed strategy. True sustainable success is only possible when individuals realize that unconditional love and approval must come from within.
Low Barrier to Entry vs. Barrier to Success
People often confuse low barrier to entry with low barrier to success. Just because a field like life coaching is easy to get into doesn't mean it's easy to stand out and succeed. With high competition, individuals need something extraordinary to offer, whether it's in terms of skills, mindset, or marketing. Believing one is extraordinary without striving to truly become extraordinary can hinder success in a crowded marketplace.
The Importance of Marketing Skills
Marketing is a set of skills that require hard work and implementation. Instead of being resentful towards those who have less substance but better marketing, individuals should recognize that marketing is itself an honest and arduous work. Rather than feeling salty about others' success, one should focus on improving their own marketing skills and putting in the necessary effort.
