Search, and replace.

Howdy Reader! Going further in your creative journey takes searching. Searching for those counterproductive activities. Like:
Getting rid of those time-wasters isn't enough. Even if you successfully get rid of them, a vacuum is left behind. Aristotle said this about vacuums: "Nature abhors a vacuum." So something will takes its place. And if you don't plan for what takes its place, it might be just as bad, or worse, as what you just got rid of. That's why it's best to replace actively. Instead of going to YouTube, go to Canva. Instead of accepting that message from a person who's abusing your time, reach out to people who support you. Instead of brooding over things you can't change, act on what you can. This won't happen all at once. But every day you choose something purposefully that moves you forward, you win.

But after he did that, all sorts of connections and possibilities showed up. So I recorded the video right then, and I was still hyped up about it. If...
Howdy Reader! I have a like-minded side hustler I chat with fairly regularly. Not unlike myself, he has a lot of things he wants to do. One of these things is dropshipping, a form of retail arbitrage. Lots of people do this, and there is lots of material, free and paid, on how to do it. If I were to take it on, I'd likely start it myself and do all the things. I'd buy a course, learn it, and do it. Not my friend. He handed the course to a VA and instructed her to implement it. Even made a few...
Howdy Reader! Whatever your creative journey entails ... ... there's going to be fun stuff ... ... and there's going to be some boring stuff. Take eBay reselling, for example. I've heard this many times in my online travels. Sourcing product is fun. Putting listings up is boring. (And I can agree!) Here's the thing about listings, though. The listings sell your product. No listings, no sales. The boring stuff tends to be where the value lies. Let's grow togoether! ~ John Note: Some links in...
