Social media is deceptive.
A quick scroll after BFCM will give you:
“I made a million buckaroos for a client on BF”
“I’ve reached 20k on Upwork”
“My client pulled 500k in four days, and CM isn’t even over yet. God is good.”
It’s easy to think –
WHAT THE HELL?!
How are they killing it when I barely made it through 2024?
Anger. Ashamed. Jealousy.
Doubt creeps in, and you start to question every choice you’ve ever made—including that pancake you had for breakfast.
STOP IT
You are NOT left behind.
Let me share a secret with you…
Most claims on SM are lies.
(maybe 1 out of 50 of these is true, if not less)
Shiv Shetti wrote an email two weeks ago revealing that –
“Proof flashy biz influencers are secretly broke
The majority are totally, 100% faking it… with businesses that are crumbling & dying behind the scenes”
Let’s look at the stats:
* 20.8% of businesses fail within their first year
* 48% fail within their first five years
* The average lasts 8.5 years (and this is INCLUDING SP500s)
So… the odd that ALL the successful people in the world happen to be your FB friends… like you’re some sort of “success magnet”?
Impossible.
Running a business is hard.
(it will always be harder than working a job)
Give yourself a pat on the back, EVEN if you barely made it through 2024.
Take a break.
Use December to reflect and ask yourself –
“If I can go back in time… and relive 2024… what will I do differently this time?”
(I’m talking about business here, not crypto)
Then…
Do it differently in 2025.
That, my friend, is the simplest recipe to fast-track your success in 2025.
Cheering for you,
