Putting Yourself Out There

Hello and happy Friday.

This week, a few things around putting yourself out there:

One thought

Some of the most talented people I know live at home with their parents.

Some of the most average people I know own several houses and businesses.

The second group is, by and large, just better at self-promotion.

One image

Anthony Bourdain is maybe the world’s most-loved food journalist.

Throughout the 80s and 90s he wrote on the side. 

He published and self-published several books throughout this time, all of which sold poorly.

It was only in 2000, after almost twenty years of trying, that his work started selling – and eventually he landed a TV show. 

He was 45.

And you’re worried about starting a new TikTok account?

One video

Gary Vaynerchuk launched WineLibraryTV aged 31 to an audience of 0.

He’d already spent years sending newsletters to his customer base.

Seventeen years later, he’s one of the biggest creators on earth.

And finally, one last thing:

Every new project is embarrassing until it is successful.

The cost of entry to success is publicly admitting your aspirations.
