Why you might be stuck (and not realise it)


Why you might be stuck (and not realise it)

Hey Reader,

If you feel stuck…

It might not be your strategy. It might be your environment.

Information is everywhere now. Tactics are everywhere.

But growth? Growth comes from proximity.

From being around people who think bigger than you, move faster than you, and hold higher standards than you.

There are two types of rooms that accelerate your life:

  1. Allies - people building alongside you
  2. Mentors - people already ahead of you

Allies understand your challenges. Mentors solve your challenges.

And when you combine both? Your trajectory changes.

Earlier this year, I joined my first mastermind.

In this vlog, you’ll see:

  • What actually happens inside high-level rooms

I call this Visibility Debt - the gap between who you are and what...

Anybody can make content and it's never been easier. But nobody actually wants to "create content". You want the lifestyle and the opportunities it can provide for you. You don't want 100,000 followers. You want how you perceive 100,000 followers will feel. But unfortunately, that's not something 99% of people will experience. When clients hire us as an agency, it’s usually because they know the truth: They could easily sink hundreds of hours into content and marketing that might not work....

Right now I'm sat at my local Starbucks tapping away at my keyboard. Out of nowhere, a young guy pulls up directly opposite me and introduces himself. "Hey, I'm Devon. Do you day-trade?" Instantly hesitant, I put an earphone in and say politely: "Not currently no, but yes I do stuff online." He was so close to me he was almost drinking my matcha. "OK. It's just I'm 17 in college right now and I'm trying to invest in myself and my future." Instantly I'm smiling - it's hard to ignore that...
