Nutrition, Diet and Health Tips

Post until it goes viral

Starting anything, business, content creation or even writing is only easy on paper or theory. You start with so much expectations and then almost immediately you realise the shit is harder than you thought and immediately the thought of quitting starts becoming an option.. but some of us quitting is not an option so in this article let’s discuss the things that can help you stay consistent:

* Focus on the good – when you’re starting something, the good is very hard to find but it’s there, for instance if you had nothing to do or if you were idle, now you’re up and moving trying to create something, another thing is creativity -starting up anything forces you to get creative, researching on what should be done, what your potential audience wants, what product they desire, why they should choose you over the existing products or services and this opens up a whole learning curve and it keeps your mind busy and engaged.

*Plan for the bad– if it’s content or digital marketing or any kind of business or start up, plan on how you’re going to deal with negative feedback because it will be there, people will call you a con artist, others will say you’re selling fake products, others will criticise your editing or even presentation style, others will insist you’re wasting time and I swear if you don’t plan for this phase, this is where most people quit. They get overwhelmed with the negative feedback, they decided it’s easier to stop than continue… But how can you deal with the criticism? -Have patience and have a positive outlook, analyse the feedback, if possible ask why the person thinks like that, if it’s something you can improve on, well and good, if you can’t look for an option to cover the fault.

* Make sure your goals are clear and focus on them more rather than where you are. This will help in re-evaluating your Actions and strategies.

*Get a mentor or a guide in the field. Take time study what works for them and see how you can marry that into your plans, not copying. Remember originality is constant..

* Remember that failure is part of success. You must suck at it before you get good at it. Lol Wayne sings ‘ We get better or get better at it” and this is only possible if we keep moving. So dust up and create that content you’re thinking about. I promise, one day you’ll be soo good at it, you’ll be glad you kept at it.

All the best
