Episode 5: Believe in Yourself

Thoughts while Building a Brand at 4:24am

Unresolved trauma. I know what my father did affected my judgement. I know my mother’s suffering amplifies my drive. I stopped using my fists for communication. I moved recklessly cause I was full of hatred for the system and frustration. To the outside eye I’m probably doing a lot of random things. I’m winning the long game to them but quickly losing my humanity.

Everything I try keeps getting delayed. I’m tired, need relief, exhausted from the chase. But that’s what they want me to do. Give up, let their mentality dominate over mine. I refuse. Gotta build a better strategy to get to the goal myself. Gotta put things in place to build demand for my product’s health. I’ve been too passive and time is running fast.

Gotta make something shake. Gotta get on the phone fast. Nothing feels worse than not converting and no one’s business rejection can feel as bad as your own people literally screaming into a void to remind you how much they envy your position. You come from power not prison.

Maybe you don’t have the right words to fill up stadiums yet. It’s ok. Stop moving with regret. The content has to reach your specific audience. Your emotions need to reach their hearts. Are you gonna keep rafting on ideas of trial and error? Or build the yacht that will carry your ambition to new frontiers? Everyone sees the light in you. So what do you continue to fear?
