The Just Do It Pandemic
There’s this thing they peddle around as truth.
I can’t count how many times I have seen this saying that people who are 20% half as good as you are collecting 100% what you should because they are showing up. This prompts people into creating half baked content when they’re not ready. They said create content and brands will come for you.
Yet forgetting that there’s someone who has ticked all those boxes and are still suffering. Half the people who are collecting 100% results do not have 20%. That’s a discredit to the surname that got them there, the pedigree, their connections, and grit.
The president of Transcorp groups said she asked for it. She demanded it. Despite showing up every day she wasn’t handed it on a platter.
This guy two glazzes who is suddenly trending has been creating content since 2016. He just started becoming a household name. People compare Piggyvest and cowry wise but forget the work Piggyvest is doing to make savings easy for me and personally I prefer Piggyvest than cowrywise.
Sometimes you might do everything right and still have someone’s preference win over. A simple just because she smiles, because she’s not awkward, because she’s not difficult to work with can give you that edge.
A woman here wrote her book at 54 and got 4 publishing contracts. Please don’t let anybody rush you into what is not your time and season.
As much as everyone is saying put yourself out there, do it at your timing and the timing that is right by your alignment and soul.
Also don’t go believing that the people you are seeing getting 100% results possess 20% talent that you have oh. They will floor you hands down.
Put yourself out there and your dm will be filled with opportunities is not as straightforward as they say. Alignment is very important.
Ask creators that went ahead to create things and others benefitted from it and they couldn’t because they lacked the information on how to cash in on their talent.
Study and be diligent in your work.
Yes the world loves authenticity and rawness but nobody will tell you how much deliberately curated persona wins and consistently access rooms “Rawness” won’t enter.
A typical example is the social experiment called Big Brother Naija.
Form deeper roots to grow into a finer tree that can stand. Unless you are in for the wave as well.
Saw this in my drafts and I don't remember where I was going with this anymore. I just want it out and away.
I hope you're well. And I hope you are doing it afraid even if you might be rejected. Because I too, I am doing it afraid.
Goodnight.
