If I could go back and do one thing differently in my business, and in my life as a whole, it would be to stop thinking and start taking more action. A lot of the time we fear that we might make the “wrong decision”, and so we think and think and think and try to figure it all out and plan everything out down to the very last tiny little detail – And for what? So we can feel “confident”? So that we have a step-by-step strategy in place? Fuck that. That shit RARELY ever happens. Because life changes, situations change, people change, ideas change, YOU change. And you can’t change the PLAN or else the plan might fail, right? So – Back when I first got into business for myself when I was 18, I did it for FUN. I didn’t do it for the money, it was because I actually enjoyed what I was doing. So I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t have a strategy. I just showed up every day and said and did whatever I want. And what do you know? I made REALLY good money. I didn’t have to follow anyone’s rules, except my own (and I would often break my own rules if I felt like it!). I didn’t have anyone telling me what I SHOULD be doing, I just did what felt good to me in the moment, and fucking hell did it ever pay off. At 18 years old, I was making thousands of dollars a month being myself, which was A LOT for someone who didn’t have many...
