Analog Roman

Things that prevented me from making money in my creative work early on: - Starving artist syndrome - Victim mentality - False humility - Stuck in boring patterns - Too many podcasts - Impatience - Confusing outputs and inputs ++

"You need to start an online business if you actually want to be successful" my version of success:

5-6 hours of sleep is the sweet spot for lifemaxxing & creating.

How you start moving when you develop outcome independence

be Jack Johnson >become a pro surfer at 17 >get a terrible surf injury >film degree in Santa Barbara >join a band in college >open for Sublime, Dave Matthews, etc >perform on SNL >write one of the best albums ever >start filmmaking again

almost didn't go to the gym today, starting to get a cold - then I remembered my ancestors

Top of funnel ideas for chadpilled creatives: - Meta Ads - Organic Short Form - Release 3 branded chimpanzees in Akron - Flyers - Cold emails - Referral program

Your clients don't care that your dad didn't hug you enough. Or your brother got more love than you did. Stop blaming your parents for everything when you could just, live an awesome life and make them proud.

You need to be trying harder. Most creatives are just dabbling in things. Dipping their toe in to see if it'll work. You must avoid this. Once you know what your thing is (cooking, design, photo, etc) just run like hell. Stop wondering if it will work. It will, if you do.

"I just don't have time right now" No, you just don't really want it right now.

Don't sacrifice family, friendships, faith, adventure, and novelty chasing success. Are you really successful if you have no interesting stories to tell about your life? "I got really good at scaling meta ads, kids" "Wow dad has lived such a cool life."

@IdiotOnTwatter Gen Z is rising

THE OPPORTUNITY: win the future THE COST: everything you have, for 20 years if you’re very lucky, there might be a receiver downfield who can catch the torch turns out, there is. zoomers are the greatest generation since the greatest generation

@IdiotOnTwatter dimes, even?

The tragic story of most men: 1. Gets random college degree based on limited info 2. Accepts first job that will pay decent 3. Buys house & has kids 4. Stuck in miserable drone work for the next 40 yrs to pay for #3 How do you break this cycle?

@mitchwellness Indeed, God is leaving us bread crumbs, to lead us, but not control us. The majesty is unreal. We are co-creators.

What a time to be alive! you can learn about anything you ever wanted to know you can travel to anywhere in the world you have more potential than any generation in history take the Christ pill and never doom.

@mitchwellness Yes brother.

@AnalogRoman Tragic but common. Develop multiple income streams. Never decide your life is worth a 9-5 for a long period of time. Live for a greater purpose than yourself (Christ)

@mitchwellness deity**

@mitchwellness 100%, use it as a research assistant and not a personal diety.

sometimes when I'm discouraged with my work, I just remember, there are thousands of accounts on here trying to grow their "personal brand" with 100% chatGPT prompts and remember I could be a lot worse off

@EmailCopyJames Truth!

@AnalogRoman Grinding without life burns us out. Life without effort keeps us stuck. The real win is doing both on purpose.

Lifemaxxing is best done in conjunction with grinding. Don't believe the lie that they're mutually exclusive.

Creatives, you need to chew the meat and spit out the bones with any guru advice. Ex: from Alex Hormozi: Learn: - Attention to detial - Obsession with craft - Blocking out distraction Ignore: Any advice on how he's trying to be a billionaire. That's not your goal.
