Those are the best starts, aren’t they? You can’t tell me they don’t make for some of the best stories. Like Captain America, or Iron Man, or me writing this journal entry. Just a superhero exercising the superpower that all new creatives are blessed with: invisibility. When you are early on in your creative journey and don’t even have two subscribers to rub together (why would you even do that?), you’re invisible. Your work will never be seen or appreciated by anyone, but that isn’t an “aww boo-hoo” sort of statement. “Your worst works will never be seen by anyone, never judged, never wielded against you,” he said with wonder in his voice. You are free to create, AND you get the benefit of creating with real stakes. You still put yourself out there, you still publish something every day. Chances are no one will know if you miss a day, but someone could. Plus, you’ll know, so the stakes are real. Even if no one sees, you are making stuff and shipping it, building that habit of consistently delivering something to a potential audience each and every day. The audience is nonexistent in the beginning and you’re delivering a bag of flaming dog poop, but each day you make something, that bag of dog poop you’re putting out into the universe burns a little less intensely. Soon, it’s just a bag of lukewarm dog poop, and then some months later it’s a bag of coal, and a year or two or maybe a little more later you’re delivering bags of gold. When you reach that point, where everyone recognizes the value you create, they’ll go back and study your earliest works, those flaming bags of dog poop. But the funny part is, they’ll find your approach genius, they’ll see cleverness and brilliance where you truly were just blindly stumbling around. Others will try to copy what you did early on, to follow in your footsteps and become an “overnight celebrity” like you did. They’ll get frustrated when it doesn’t work after a week or two of trying, and then they’ll give up, thinking, “Oh, that successful person must just be special.” “They’re more talented than me, so of course they’re successful and I’m not.” But that success came from failing day after day after day after week after month after year, likely for 4 to 8 years. Most people can barely apply themselves day after day for a single week. The trick is to zoom in. Just focus on today. What is my daily creative practice? What daily habits am I win-streaking on? Track it every day. A big juicy win streak is just too good to break, even if you aren’t feeling well or have a super busy day. Today, just do what you must do. Make your must-dos small and unintimidating to start and then gradually increase them over time. You got this!
