Debunking Lies About Being a Creator
Let’s break em down…
📌 But first, save this post and send it to a friend for those days when you start doubting yourself.
Alright heres the lies I believed and why I don’t believe them anymore.
❌ The industry is so saturated. Brands will just hire someone else.
✅ I’ve worked with many of the top travel brands in the world and teach others how to do the same. Yes there’s a lot of talented creators in the industry, but there’s new brands popping up every day that need content and it’s one of the fastest growing industries in the world.
❌ Everyone does free work. No one wants to pay
✅ I totally get it. And it’s frustrating TBH (especially when all these creator gurus are teaching people how to do it 🤦🏻♂️). But if you want to actually get paid you have to position yourself differently than everyone else and that’s what I teach my mentorship clients. (Comment “CREATE” for more info)
❌ I can figure this out on my own
✅ It took me 2 years of trying to figure it out myself to realize I needed help. When I invested in a mentor I went from struggling to charge a few hundred bucks to landing $5K+ deals in a matter of months.
Can you figure it out yourself? Yeah eventually, but it will take you 10x more time, frustration, and effort.
❌ I don’t need to invest in my business skills. I’m a creative.
✅ For me, the biggest epiphany was realizing that I was asking brands to invest a lot of money hiring me to grow their business yet…
I was unwilling to invest time effort and money into growing my own business.
It made absolutely no sense.
So I made a new rule for myself. If I’m asking someone to invest a certain amount with me, I have to be willing to invest at least that on myself. Plus it helps a lot with the scarcity mindset!
❌ I don’t have the time to learn new skills
✅ I was super busy too and a lot of my clients have other day jobs when they start as well. But I realized I’m probably never gonna NOT be busy and if I can succeed while I’m busy, how much better will I be when I can completely focused!
If you’re finally ready to go full time as a creator comment CREATE and I can send you more info about the program 🤙
