Far more creative and far more authentic! Which is hard to see if we're just following the grind herd mentality.
Totally agree that this requires letting go of some follower count goal / perception of success. I'm very weirdly ok with letting a bit of that go now because it feels less exhausting to not go against the grain
I think it can be more or less exhausting though. My attitude from the beginning: тАЬhow do I not burn outтАЭ. My answer was to go slower and follow my curiosity. Over the last 8 years IтАЩve seen 75%+ stop doing their creative stuff. ItтАЩs sort of shocking how many quit. I think you get a lot of survivors that thrive on discipline. And then a lot who end up not actually defining their strategy. I think going тАЬwith the grainтАЭ can actually be the most exhausting then in the sense youтАЩre just copying people around you (eg тАЬship every week,тАЭ / тАЬgotta use this platform etcтАЭ). Generally if you are searching for a unique path you need to experiment with weird and sometimes random strategies that may hve higher odds of succeeding for you.
I actually think you do this well. IтАЩve never seen someone do that digest / log you did. And then you decided to stop doing it. That meta approach(тАЬtry stuffтАЭ) will basically win and survive over time.
Aw thanks Paul. Have been learning to listen to my тАЬnope, not feeling itтАЭ gut more, which now that I think about it makes sense to develop because there are 23480 tips out there in the internet but only 1-2 will work for any person
But even given all that, true outlier success almost by definition requires far more creative approaches to life.
