The 1 way to be successful, on your own
Let's face it, we all want to be successful. No one wants to fail as an entrepreneur, but how can we ensure that we're giving ourselves the best chance of success?For years prior to beginning my journey as an entrepreneur I worked for various organisations where my creative thinking and entrepreneurial personality was suppressed. Throughout this time I was forced to conform, to behave and make decisions based upon what others expected of me. Doing such things over time really grinds you down, you start forgetting who you really are and become a "company man", someone they want you to be. The problem with this is, you can never reach your full potential when your personality and abilities are being restricted.Now on my entrepreneurial journey I am finding my feet, growing in confidence and realising who I once was and who I'm meant to be. I've made a million mistakes already but I keep moving forward, how? Because this is who I am, I'm simply being me. By being me I may find that people don't connect with me, that I won't achieve all that I want to achieve. But I'd rather fail on my own terms than I would constrained by others, forced into conformity and unable to be truly happy.You see, win or lose, right now I'm happy. I'm enjoying the journey, following my dreams and staying true to myself. It's truly a liberating feeling to be doing what you want to do, and not having to answer to anyone. I've still not fully shaken my previous hang ups caused by conformity, but I'm making progress.I'm putting content out for people to consume if they so choose, if they don't want to then that's fine, because first and foremost I'm doing this for me. It's therapeutic, it's a journey of self-discovery. I'm exploring my own ideas rather than regurgitating information that has been forced upon me by organisations or institutions. 
Everyday I get closer to the true freedom of being me, and I feel my confidence and power grow with every passing day. If you want to be a successful entrepreneur you first and foremost have to take the leap. I would never have reached this point had I not taken the leap. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.My advice to you if you want to be successful is simple, BE YOU.Everyone is out there looking at metrics and analyzing their stats, they think they're doing what’s best for their business. But they're only concerned about the immediate future, they're not considering the long term implications of what they’re doing.I’m not talking about unethical people here, though there are plenty of those in business too. I’m taking about the day to day actions of people who actually mean well. They're trying to meet specific targets and follow specific blueprints set by others.The thing is with business, if you mean well or not it’s irrelevant. The economy doesn’t give a shit if you mean we’ll, it’s a monetary system not your grandmother. Your metrics only tell you so much, they'll guide you as to some strategies, but others are untrackable. Putting out content and building a brand is not something you can get metrics on, yet the long term implications are huge.The reason people are concerned with short-term metrics of course is that they're chasing money without thinking about bringing long term value to the market. Yeah sure you can chase money and be relatively successful in the short term doing so, but if that’s the only thing you care about then you fail.Why? because people see through that shit, they don't care about you or giving you money. When you follow a blueprint and copy everyone else, trying to monetise things at every turn, sell shit online course etc, you'll become just another "guru". Avoid that pitfall, become you!! Find who you really are and how you can bring people genuine value, if you can do this opportunities will arise and you'll be better for it. Focus on QUALITY, HONESTY and INTEGRITY and you will succeed. But you will also have to exercise patience and not sell your soul. Money will come after time when you bringing value to the market, Money is a by product of your success, not the single focus. Now get out there, produce content and be you. Trust me it takes a while to find your voice and behave as you normally would on a camera, the only way to do it is by consistently putting yourself out there.
