We all have power

The most overlooked and amazing gift that the internet has given us all is connection and the ability to create our own audience and tribe. Not gigabytes of data.

Now we are able to connect with people all over the world and if we are clear enough about our message, then we will attract others who share our values and cause. We can form communities, create change, in fact, the possibilities are only limited by ourselves.

This means we can now have our own TV (video), radio (podcasts), newspaper (blogs) and books(self-publishing). We are the editor in chief of all our outputs. Before only the established media had this power, backed by massive audiences and massive advertising revenue.

The mass is melting and the individual is rising, who are building their own unique content and messages for niche tribes.

We all now have a power, will you use it and what will you use it for?

Your audience is waiting.

Do it for yourself

Often in life people say they did it for so and so, I made this for you, I wrote this for….I created it for….I designed it for x.

The best things created are when we do it for ourselves.

If we do things for others, how do we really know what others want or like?

Once we do things for others, we start to care what others think and when the response isn’t good, then we kill our self-confidence, and often then try too hard to please.

Don’t try to please others, as it opens us up to the worst of the feelings of not being good enough.

Write for yourself, sing for yourself, paint for yourself, do the things that you love the most for yourself.

That way you will create without fear of criticism, fear of judgement of others and then because it is likely then to be the best you can do, then others will find you and your art.

Success is what matters to us. It’s personal.
