Hey there,
It's M.
I know - this is probably the millionth comeback. Lots of things have happened, and I just felt like writing again to let off some steam.
Initially I quit writing because I didn't enjoy it as much as making videos or even podcasts:
- It takes up too much effort compared to the other two
- The rewards are less than the other two (DSound, DTube back then)
However, as time passed by and I paid more attention into building the foundation for my business, I no longer produced content for myself. I realized that I was so tunneled vision into making money to sustain my living and achieve my goals, that I stopped doing things that made me happy (or rather, less stressed up). Even when it comes to producing content for myself, my mindset was about producing the right content so that I can add the right value and build better audience.
After watching GaryVee's video today, I was reminded that I started producing content not for the money or for the attention - I started because I wanted to try something new.
It was exciting back then because I never vlogged before, I never blogged before, nor have I even tried to produce content before! Slowly, the goal of becoming 'successful' as a content producer overtook who I really was - someone who just doesn't give a fuck about most things in life.
Yeah, that's what I'm doing right now. Back to being true to myself, and do what I feel like doing. Rather than worrying about whether it'll work or not, first I should do whatever that pleases me.
Say what I want to say.
Write what I want to write.
Consume whatever content I want to consume.
Life's tough, but I'm tougher ;)
