Don't Compare Your Month 1 to Others' Year 7

Don’t compare your month 1 to others year 7 👇 For a long time I was the guy with a camera and a dream. I didn’t have any experience, sales skills, connections, or hand outs. But I would spend every minute dreaming about building a career that would let me create stories and travel. I would see others at a similar age to me shooting for major international brands and I couldn’t understand what the difference was. Did I suck so much that no one wanted to hire me? I got caught in a comparison trap that in some ways drove me to get better but in other ways was toxic. I will say It’s what kept me waking up to shoot sunrise even though it was early and I wasn’t getting paid. It’s what drove me to shoot spec ad after spec ad even after hearing no. It’s what drove me to finally make the choice to learn the business side of content creation. But it’s also what kept me addicted to the validation once I finally did start getting recognition and what kept me from never feeling like I was good enough. If you are just finding my page, I want you to know that getting here was a journey that started a while ago and you can 100% achieve the same or better than me, but it does take time and commitment. The choice to go all in on my dream despite the external circumstances completely changed my life and it will change yours too. And that’s why I post advice to help creators build real sustainable businesses. 👉 If that sounds like you follow @nashhagen to take the first step. Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙
