You’re very right that it’s easy to get into the “here is what you have to do” mindset. It’s just so tempting because it promises that you’ll get followers, it’s less scary than doing what you love. And so far, doing what I love has never been enough to engage with people on it. I’m guessing you’re finding a kind of in-between path?
I really got hooked on this idea of “just create what you consume yourself”. It kind of makes sense, but I’m also resisting it (maybe because then I’d have to create printed books and magazines… but maybe I should?)
But wow, thank you! Just finished listening and it’s so refreshing to see an actually honest discussion and not the standard “here’s what I did to gain 100000 followers” stuff. And it actually makes me want to go out and play, be creative! ❤️
