Understand and acknowledge your situation, and start working from there, without undermining your background story, or why everything is way more difficult for you or for someone in your situation. As I always love to say, get out of the bad situation as soon as possible, before it eats you alive.

Someone who has been running a fitness gym for a decade and has trained a fuckload of people in real life has thought of a brilliant strategy that is perfect for losing weight. It hit her in a moment of epiphany. Wow. This is why they always gain back the weight they’ve lost. I’m gonna package that in a pristine looking course or program that also includes simple training techniques that would increase or maintain their physical fitness that they can do indoors without workout equipment. Also along with a bunch of diet and nutrition advice and recommendations that have nothing to do with weight loss. I’m not that popular on social media but I already have my 100 true fans everywhere, who really believe in me like I’m Jesus because they’ve worked with me in real life and got massive positive results after that. I’m also thinking about making a course about how to package your knowledge and expertise into a bestseller course, because it seems to be super easy and fun. And everybody can do it. Right?

RIGHT??

And while I’m at it, I’ll consider making a course on how to crush it on Instagram and market your business. Another one for common mistakes that hold you back from making as much money as you deserve from your business. Another one for how to beat the algorithm on YouTube and make it to the top faster than even the one and only James Jani.

After all, it’s all about mindset. That’s how all my dreams seem to be effortlessly coming true. Okay here’s another course about limiting beliefs and making money. Or shall I call it: limiting beliefs holding you back from the life of financial freedom that you truly deserve.

Wonderful.

And while I’m at it, I’ll talk about how capitalism doesn’t work for everyone, in order to score some virtue signaling points that will make me sleep better at night.

Oh sleep! Let’s make a course about that!

Meanwhile, you just barely escaped an abusive relationship alive, and have no idea where to start. You listened to Gary Vaynerchuk jumping on stage telling you that the only thing that is going to remain is personal brand. Everything else is just a commodity. What? Are you going to do it better than the person sitting next to you?

Get the fuck outta here.

So you focus on showing the world your awesome personality while providing massive value for free. You feel you are getting nowhere. Gary is still telling you that you need to be patient. It took him 4 years to get awareness. I spoke to the whole world for four fucking years and no one was listening, says Gary. No body cared. No body listened. No body knew who the fuck I am. And it wasn’t because I didn’t know what I was doing. It’s because it normally takes time. Yeah, but what about those who have tremendous engagement and are at 10 thousand followers on Instagram despite them having started the journey just 2 months ago?

You have plenty of time on your hands. People don’t understand that they have so much time. You still have plenty of years ahead of you to live. It’s all about the journey. I want to buy the Jets in 25 years, and that makes people freak out and hate me, because they only understand instant gratification. The day I buy the Jets is going to be the worst day of my life. It’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey.

Sounds cool and entertaining on paper, right?

But it has nothing to do with what real life actually looks like, right?

In order to be able to keep going, there has to be some kind of return for your efforts at some point, or else it will be just another form of not just pure labor, but torture.

You have a five year gap in your CV or resume, and you have no explanation for it. Plus, you suck when it comes to your skills and qualifications. You have no idea what to do, and you can’t imagine your life without having made that leap of faith of switching careers five years ago.

Due to the new pandemic situation, your stance about getting a job could be summed up in this statement: Fuhgedaboudit! (Forget about it!)

No excuse, everybody is telling you. Stay positive. It’s all your fault. Patterns of thinking. Negativity. That is your problem. No one understands. Not just no one wants to understand. No one can understand. It’s not just that the world has conspired against you. It’s that the entire world has decided to become brainwashed all at the same time, even though every group has decided to be brainwashed by a different type of propaganda. Some tell you God has a plan for you. Some tell you yeah it’s a because of corporate greed and their take over of our politicians that has lead to governmental corruption that is making the rich people get richer, whereas the poor and middle class people are just getting poorer. And that my friend is because capitalism doesn’t work. No! You screamed internally. Capitalism is what’s responsible for everything there is that is good and right in our lives! What is wrong with you people!

Then you turn to the so called self-help world, and they all tell you: but honey your mindset is so negative. You are the embodiment of everything that is wrong when it comes to mindset and thinking patterns. You need to learn how to crush your innate mechanisms of and capacity for detection and perception of reality. Detachment from reality and distortion of the real world and facts are so sexy and erotic at the moment. It’s like being raped and feeling good about it. Why are you complaining.

You keep running around in this horror movie with no where to go.

Meditation! You think. That is what I’m missing! I need to calm down.

They tell you your thoughts are not real or are not part of who you are. You are the person sitting behind them observing all this crazy talk taking place without doing anything about it. Without interacting. But I tend to become more depressed the more I meditate! It becomes clearer to me that there is just no way out!

Then you find a not giving a damn anymore tribes that tell you drop your expectations and lower your standards and you’ll be happy as fuck in no time.

Don’t care about anything and you will be okay!

Unbelievable!

Have you guys tried to live for a second in the past, or were you all born as full adults during the pandemic?

What happened to you?

Have you all sold your souls to the devil to make money? Or for a couple more likes on social media?

Why am I alone?

Am I the only sane person in this world?

Okay, no problem.

I’m gonna just sweep all of the above under the rug, and pretend it doesn’t exist.

I’m going to focus.

It is clear from the above demonstrated scenario that there is a tiny slim chance that you are more likely to be slightly more overwhelmed compared to other people or influencers who are making all this shit look easy.

Do what you can. No one is going to cry for you if you crash and burn. No one is going to attend your funeral. Not even your digital funeral. People have no emotions or soul these days. Humanity is dead.

It’s not your fault that somehow, for some reason, you’re the only one who is still alive.
