Lesson 1: Stop taking yourself so seriously.
When I started creating content, I took things way too seriously.
I come from an engineering background and I now talk about science.
I was being too much like Ben Stein when I should& #39;ve been more like Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Seeing things that were incorrect or misleading would irritate me and I& #39;d get into arguments.
This made me come across as a stuck-up geek.
I mean, I called myself Improvement Geek back then, but...
I didn& #39;t realize that wasn& #39;t a good thing.

I was pretty cringe, to be honest.
But you either die cringe or live long enough to become based.
Over time, I& #39;ve learned to
• laugh at myself when I make mistakes
• stop caring when I think others are wrong
• laugh at others when they try arguing with me

Taking myself too seriously also hurt my creative ability.
I& #39;d waste way too much time stressing about getting every little detail perfect.
At the time, I didn& #39;t realize perfection is actually kind of offputting.
I gradually started letting things be rough around the edges.

This leads me to lesson #2:
Take action even if you don& #39;t feel ready.
ESPECIALLY if you don& #39;t feel ready.
Where would I be if I waited until I felt ready to start creating content or coaching people?
I& #39;d have no followers, no business, and no successful clients.

In your mind:
You& #39;re saving yourself and others by not taking action until you& #39;re ready.
In reality:
You& #39;re hurting yourself and others by not giving them the value you have to give.
Imperfect action beats perfect inaction.

I& #39;ve helped countless people with my free content.
I& #39;ve transformed the lives of numerous clients.
But if I waited until I was "ready" or had some degree or certification before I started...
I wouldn& #39;t have helped anyone.
A year later, I probably still wouldn& #39;t have.

Have I made mistakes?
Yes. Of course I have.
But, I& #39;ve also learned from those mistakes and gotten better because of them.
The longer you avoid failure, the longer you& #39;ll be avoiding success.
Success rarely comes without struggle.
And even when it does, it& #39;s meaningless.

Taking yourself less seriously and taking more action leads to...
Lesson #3: Network, network, network.
I wouldn& #39;t be where I am without my network.
I feel absolutely no shame in admitting that.
The relationships I& #39;ve formed over the past year are incredible.

People ask me "how do you build a network?"
Great question.
You can& #39;t force it.
It has to be organic.
It& #39;s easy for people to sense when you& #39;re just trying to slide in their DMs so you can use them.
Or when you& #39;re just tagging @naval for clout.

Or when you& #39;re just tagging @naval for clout.
But here are a few ways you can help facilitate relationships:
• reply to people& #39;s tweets with VALUE - don& #39;t just reword what they had just said
• DM or contact them to introduce yourself and start a conversation
• join communities of people doing what you& #39;re doing
• reply to people& #39;s tweets with VALUE - don& #39;t just reword what they had just said
