Don’t Be Scared of a Post to Fail

Social media gets pretty boring.
I read the same posts over and over again.

Why do most people post the same stuff?

It feels like there is nobody sharing fresh ideas.

There are waves of trends.
As soon as somebody posts something good,
it gets reposted, repurposed a hundred times.

They all look alike.
Sound alike.
Are there no new ideas?

I believe it’s for one reason:

Because people are actually scared their post won’t get enough likes.

They hold back their genuine self, fresh thoughts, and new insights
because they are afraid their post will fail.

They let the algorithm control what they say.

They never step out of the shadows to share unique ideas.

They never step up as the thought leader

Because they prefer to be a thought follower
and are happy with the drips of success rather than risk stepping up to create something that might fail.

This makes me sad to observe.

That’s why I started to write my content by hand.
Then I can be freed from my screens,
think clearly,
and create unique ideas.

People want the business, the personal brand, the prestige.
They want to be a creator,
but they don’t want to give.

They are focused on getting,
so they never actually ask:

What do I have to give?

Please use this as a reminder to develop your own opinions.
Share your own belief
and help make a difference.

Create something worth sharing by risking yourself first.

  • From 600 Emails to Clear Focus

    Monday mornings can be rough sometimes. We were gone for a longer weekend, and then I sat down on Monday morning trying to get back to work. When I opened my MacBook, I saw the stack of 600 unopened emails. Because I was gone, I also didn’t have a clear next step in mind. The lack of clarity got me overwhelmed. I knew I had to get back into the work. So I took a step back. What is the next task that matters most? I just get back to my routine. Let’s get started with my daily Newsletter. What…

  • Don’t Judge a Business by Its Social Media

    It is so interesting. A lot of people judge the business by their social following.He got 100k followers—he must have a massive business! Somehow we doubt that small accounts are bigger businesses. I stopped looking at the following and started to look for the actual interaction. There is a lot to be said about the right likes. You can tell fast which small accounts don’t work — because they tell you. With bigger accounts, it’s getting harder to see the difference. The funny thing is: A lot…

  • More Content Won’t Save a Bad Offer

    One thing that comes up in my coaching calls a lot is that people want to just create more content. The client wishes to work more on content.Content creation definitely has a lot of value. I also enjoy it—the work. Yet creating more content only helps when we have a business in the booth. More content is not going to fix your offer problem. I have tried this many times—and it doesn’t work. I have grown a YouTube channel to be monetized to get the clicks to my offer. Because I was so focused…
