I’ve got something new for you this week and maybe some wouldn’t call it a newsletter at all!
You see, It’s easy to compare your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20.
We all do it.
You scroll through social media or YouTube, see someone crushing it, and think, “They’ve got it all figured out. I’m so far behind.”
But……progress isn’t about being perfect, it’s about getting better every single day.
One habit that helps me stay grounded when I’m feeling stuck or frustrated is watching the first videos of big content creators. Take Alex Hormozi, for example. His first YouTube uploads…. Awkward lighting, unpolished delivery, basic editing. Nothing like the high-production clips we see now.
How about Mr.Beat celebrating his 700 subscribers after 100 videos!
Who can forget Post Malones first music video:
Or an early Myron Golden commercial
Finally, the great Gary Vee talking about his 32nd birthday.
And that’s the point.
We’re so used to seeing the final product. !he well-oiled brand, the polished performance…. that we forget it took years of trial, error, and persistence to get there. What we admire today is the result of showing up consistently, making small improvements, and not quitting when things felt slow or messy.
So if you’re building something, a brand, a skill, a business, yourself …..keep going.
Your “before” will one day be someone else’s motivation.
Because you’re not behind if you’re getting better.
Until next week.
Happy Selling!
