There’s only 2 things that keep creators trapped. It’s not gear, skills, talent, etc. it’s our ego and our blind spots. Let me explain. Our ego is like a ball and chain. Every time we have to step out of our comfort zone it anchors us back down to the status quo to protect us against being exposed. Our ego is really the #1 enemy and it’s primarily driven by FEAR. We need to cut the ego so we can expose ourselves to situations that allow us to grow and actually see our blind spots. See because what you don’t know can hurt you. It’s called ignorance debt. You have to constantly be paying down an ignorance debt by getting around other industry professionals, investing in coaching, networking etc. Every time I’ve leveled up in life I’ve been hit with a huge amount of resistance (and the further you get in your career, the heavier it is). It hurts your ego to ask for help. It hurts your ego to admit you don’t have all the answers (especially when you post things that make it seem like you do). But I’ve found that the only way to level up is to face that resistance head on, expose the ego, get uncomfortable and let someone wiser than me speak into my life. Is it scary? Yes. Is it worth it though? Absolutely! If you’re tired of being stuck not knowing why you can’t scale your content business, DM me CREATE and let’s get you going! You’re gonna wanna save this one! 📲 Follow @nashhagen (that’s me) for more creative business tips 🎥 Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 #creativebusiness #videobusiness #videographer #contentcreator #creatorbusiness
