More VS Right (re: Winning the Skool Games 🏆)
I wanted to thank everyone for their support in the Skool Games. I had a lot of supportive messages, DMs, cheers, comments and congratulations. And many of you joined the No-Code Architects—so you literally made it happen. Not me. Since yesterday when it ended, I've been thinking a lot. And I'll tell you what I've been feeling. Sure I'm excited, but I also fear loss, what if I can't keep it up? Why did some ask for a refund? Why have some already cancelled? How can I make people more happy? How do I keep growing, more, more, more! What if this all falls apart? It's a hole you can't fill. But I've gained just enough experience over the past 5 years (after selling my previous company), to keep a level head about this. Over this time I've had some extreme highs and lows, huge successes and multiple total breakdowns. It took longer than I wanted, but I've learned all the ups and downs were just a result of losing focus, getting ahead of myself, getting a quick win and wanting MORE. Not being OK with where I was, not forging through during a loss. Was 4th place in the June Skool Games a success? absolutely, but it's a just a second in time. If you zoom out it's just a tiny seed that will take time to grow into a something great. Nothing grand has changed in this past month. You have to be patient. It's not about more, more, more, now, now, now. More subscribers, more sales, more success... but instead, it's about the RIGHT mission and vision, serving the RIGHT people and taking the RIGHT actions. Slowly, overtime, one step in front of the other. Yes I'm working hard to improve as quickly as I can. Yes I'm working hard to make the best experience I can for my clients, this community and the No-Code Architects. But it all takes time, the good things take time. That's why digging into a mission and vision is so important—because its bigger than you, it gives you time. It gives you success over any failure given enough time. You can always fall back on the vision when things are going the wrong way.
