Fantastic article. Learning to embrace your nature really is nessacary to grow. I hope I'm learning to be a better version of me everyday. That's all I can strive for
'...you can mix and match. I've seen people succeed in hundreds of different ways.'
It's good for us to experiment with and apply strategies that we're more comfortable with and that is in tune with our genuine passions, rather than just completely following what's popular and deemed 'the best method.'
Gurus are constantly telling us how to get the results they got... which might be helpful, but you have to look at where they started, where they've been, where they've gone and what they want. They are distinctly different, we all are. It's a great reminder to step back and find ourselves in what we're creating.
Definitely. I stopped posting on Instagram because I found myself straying from my true purpose and message to please the algorithm. I wasn’t able to make the Insta gods happy but it’s just as well because the cost would have been too high. I’d rather post to platforms like Substack that align with my love of long-form written content, although I do plan on leaving my comfort zone to repurpose my blogs on YouTube. I don’t love making video but I think it’s a good personal growth opportunity and a great way to grow my audience. Generally I think we have to balance what comes naturally with invitations to grow and try new things. I’m hopeful that I’ll learn to love video. If I don’t, I won’t continue but feel it’s worth a shot.
Yes, we always have to test new things. Sometimes, you think you hate something, but you actually hate only some aspect of it.
For example, I use a setup and a process that allows me to create video tutorials with almost no editing. This way, I remove the tedium of going back to the recording and remove all the mistakes.

Focus on what you can control!
Thanks for chiming in.
A brilliant, and for me, very timely post.
Thanks a lot!
You made my day (and it’s not even 9 AM!)

I agree with your points, Alberto.
Great!
It takes courage, but it's worth it.
Great post, great observations.

Deviating from the advice of the people who made it feels risky. But you can also feel when it goes against your nature.

A great message here Alberto. 100% spot on to seek self-awareness and tune our writing to that.
Where you able to find your "true nature" as a creator?
It's a work in progress but getting there.
Thank you!
