3. Being honest about where you are in your journey and that you still have lots to learn comes across as more honest and relatable than someone who acts like they know it all.
It helps you build a relationship much quicker and gives you leeway to share mistakes as well as successes.
2. Even if your particular experience doesn't put you at number 1 in the world, that's actually an advantage.
It's much easier to learn from someone 2 steps ahead who understands what you're going through than from someone so far up the ladder they can't even remember what it was like at your level.
Some of the most popular blogs and newsletters in the world are from people sharing the steps on their journey rather than looking down from the top of the mountain.
1. The Dunning-Kruger effect means that smart people routinely underestimate their capabilities, while less competent people routinely overestimate theirs.
My experience is that people also undervalue their particular assets.
Experienced people worry they haven't got advanced qualifications. Highly qualified people worry they haven't got much experience etc. People with brilliant ideas worry they have neither the experience nor the qualifications.
But it can also hold you back and stop you sharing your valuable experience and expertise.
So if you're worried that your opinions and ideas won't be interesting or valuable to people, consider 3 things:
Firstly, *π€π°π―π¨π³π’π΅πΆππ’π΅πͺπ°π―π΄*.
Asking yourself this question means you've got the kind of humility that stops you turning into the kind of arrogant, overconfident blowhard that makes most people cringe :)
[Thread] "Why would anyone listen to me?". The secret self-whisper we all hear in our ears every now and then.
But it's a doubt you can overcome. Here's how --->
I'm rather less interested in the idea of an AI writing stuff for me than I am in the idea of one doing my reading for me.
it can start by trashing anything that starts with "99% of people don't know this" or "X whatsits that should be illegal". Or anything about getting up at 5am.
Clichebot will instantly make my life much better that any writing AI :)
Oh, and it'll automatically create a fake id to follow and comment for people who demand you follow and comment to get their "free" thing
Eventually, after enough experience, you learn to relax a bit and realise that you just can't predict what's going to click (and it doesn't matter so much if it doesn't).
But in the meantime, reminding yourself "there's always another email" always helps me.
Each individual piece doesn't have to be stunning. Nice if it is, but rare. And you don't need it.
Just like you don't need your investments to double overnight to do well, just to keep compounding day by day.
