If you knew you were going to Die Tomorrow, How many of these would you Regret?
Bronnie Ware was a Hospice Nurse most of her life and wrote a Book on her Experiences. Being around dying people changes you. But she did notice that most people who die early or late in life all had these top 5 regrets: 1. "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." 2. "I wish I hadn't worked so hard." 3. "I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings." 4. "I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends." 5. "I wish that I had let myself be happier." So which ones should we be working on the most right now while we're still alive?

The Creator Paradox
I review a lot of Social Media Accounts everyday, and if I have to describe one pattern I see in almost every account I review, it's this one... Doomscroll -> This is EZ -> Make a Few Lackluster Content Pieces -> No Engagement and they Quit -> Back to Doomscrolling Forever until the cycle repeats. If there is anything I have to offer you, it's the solution to this Problem. But I am curious, what do you think is the solution to this problem?

@Parker McCumber I believe you're right Parker, if everyone enjoyed the process more, less people would quit before they achieved something.

Our Byte-Size Book Club
I started a challenge for myself at the beginning of 2024. I wanted to find a way to help myself grow daily, but also share that knowledge with others who need it. (Honestly, who has time to really read books these days?) I bought a Blinkist Subscription last year during their Black Friday Sale, they have over 6,500 very well written Book Summaries. I love books, but when I see a book I have no interest in, I'm happy because that means I don't have to shell out money to buy yet another book. It can get expensive šŸ˜… But we don't need to do that here. I'm able to curate my own book summary library within Blinkist and share any book summary you want with you guys for free. Feel Free to join the discussion each day and keep climbing that Leaderboard! Also the more you Collaborate and Network, the bigger impact you'll have with others and the more you'll feel better about yourself as you make a habit for growth. So TLDR: 1. Search the Full Summary Book Archive Here 2. Join our Daily Newsletter if you want to get our new Book Selection everyday by Email 3. Comment on this post any of your Book Recommendations and I'll put them in our Library Archive I can't wait to hear your Book Recommendations! (I sorta live for them)

Book Byte #273 "One Second ahead" by Rasmus Hougaard https://club255.substack.com/p/book-byte-273-one-second-ahead-by ā€œImagine life as a game where youā€™re juggling five balls in the air. The five balls are work, family, health, friends, and happiness. Youā€™ll soon find out that your work is a rubber ball; if you drop it, it bounces back into your hands. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop any of them, theyā€™ll be forever damaged, broken, or completely destroyed. Theyā€™ll never be the same again. So work effectively when youā€™re at work and go home on time. Give the necessary time to your family and your friends and look after yourself. A value only has value if it is valued." Balance is important, because no matter how good you are work, if your family or friends feel neglected, they won't support you in your work and in your personal life when you'll need them the most.

Book Byte #274 "The Power of One More" by Ed Mylett https://club255.substack.com/p/book-byte-274-the-power-of-one-more ā€œYou must tune out the naysayers and all the negative distractions to focus on busting your piƱata wide open. You'll feel disoriented at times, doubt may creep into your mind, and you may think that your goal is not worth it. Until you learn how to win those battles, you'll never enjoy what your piƱata holds for you. If you stay with it long enough, you will enjoy the fruits of your labors. And everyone else in your circle who sticks around and supports you will enjoy those things as well.ā€ You got to keep swinging to ultimately get what you want out of content creation. The minute you quit is the minute you lost. Quitting is different than moving on, if you go do something else because you're more passionate about it, that's different, but if you just quit because you are tired of getting no views and no sales, then you cutting yourself off from ever getting them.
Optimizing Your Chance at Greatness
In "The Practice" by Seth Godin, he talks about Optimizing your chance of achieving Greatness. We all have a chance at Greatness, but why do only so few achieve it? Here's the excerpt from the Chapter Summary: "Some creatives find fulfillment simply in shipping their work to a modest audience. Others have their eye on a bigger prize: greatness. They donā€™t just want to perform well; they want to be at the pinnacle of their field. What propels certain creatives to that pinnacle? Contrary to popular belief, you donā€™t need to be a uniquely gifted genius to reach the upper echelons of creative excellence. With commitment and a bit of strategy, you can work your way to the very top. The key message is: You can optimize your chances of achieving greatness. Greatness is never guaranteed. But if youā€™re striving for creative greatness, Ć  la pianist Glenn Gould or contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama, there are some techniques that might help you along your way. First of all, find your cohort. In creativity, context is crucial. Would Robert Zimmerman have metamorphosed into Bob Dylan if heā€™d never left Minnesota for the vibrant folk scene of Greenwich Village in the 1950s? Maybe ā€“Ā but maybe not. Dig deep on any of your artistic idols, and youā€™ll probably find they didnā€™t work in isolation. From Renaissance Florence to the Algonquin Round Table, creatives congregate. And when they do, they spur each other on to produce greater, more groundbreaking work. So set out to find your cohort. Second, commit to your superpower skill. Thatā€™s the thing you do best, the thing that makes you stand out in a crowded market. Focusing on your superpower skill might mean neglecting other parts of your work. And thatā€™s fine. In fact, it shows youā€™re on the right track. Think of FedEx, the global shipping powerhouse. Would you send a priceless oil painting cross-country with FedEx? Probably not. Because FedExā€™s superpower is their speed, they leave ultra-careful handling to their competitors. So, donā€™t try and corner the whole market. Commit to painting amazing portraits if thatā€™s your superpower, and leave landscapes to others. Itā€™s all about finding your niche and excelling there.
