yann girard - rethinking the now

But what if everybody does it?

Knowing something and taking action are two different things entirely.

Because no one else ever will..

Do all the hard work yourself.

Reach out to all the hard clients.

Put yourself on that stage.

But most importantly put yourself out there.

Over and over again.

Because no one else ever will..

The later you join..

When blogs first came out it was a lot easier to build an audience than it is today.

Everybody can do that

Everybody can write that one blog post a week.

Don’t listen to them

Whenever you do something, create something and put it out there, many people won’t like it.

Someone else will

If you don’t do it, someone else will.

Kinda..

I kinda want to be successful.

What your 20s are really for

Your twenties are there for getting your heart broken.

The next best..

The next best is just that.

Engagement doesn’t matter

It doesn’t matter whether people comment on your blog posts or not.

The best time..

The best time to work on your book is before you start writing your book.

When nothing seems to work out

When you don’t want to learn the rules,you’ll not only never know the rules but you’ll also never be able to change them.

I don’t trust you

That’s something you’ll never hear from a potential customer, a potential reader, a potential investor or someone you’ve just met at the bar.

What really matters

It doesn’t really matter whether or not you’re in the mood.

If it doesn’t work out

Then just try it again.

Chances are..

That we’ve never met in real life.

The ONLY growth hack you need to know

Many people ask me how they can build their audience online.

You’re not..

When someone tells you you’re funny but doesn’t laugh at your jokes, well then you’re probably not funny.

It’s exhausting..

To show up every single day.

You’re not your customer

Or your reader. Or your listener. Or your viewer.

There’s no right or wrong

Many people will try to tell you what’s right or wrong.

Sometimes I write stupid stuff

And sometimes I write smart stuff.

The difference between you and them

They just went for it and just did it.

Innovation and getting disrupted

What got you where you are right now is your current company culture, your current employees and your current hiring strategy.

Why your ideas don’t spread

There are many ways to build your audience online and to spread your ideas.

Why pay for this?

You don’t have to pay for this. Or that. As a matter of fact you can get almost everything online for free. And you don’t have to pay for any of this. Or that.

I don’t want to do “this”

Most people don’t want to do “this“.

They want to do ”that“ instead.

They don’t want to do “this“ because “this” is usually the hard part.

And “that“ is usually the easy part.

But here’s the thing..

You’ll only be able to do “that“ once you’ve done “this“.

You’ll only be able to do the fun part, once you’ve done the hard part.

Unfortunately, there never is a “that“ without a “this“.

Start or finish?

It’s easy to get started. It’s a lot easier to get started than to finish your work.

Selling out

When you do something you love, you’ll never sell out.

What do you do?

Do you secretly feel happy when someone you know tried to opt out of the system and failed?

Do you have to remind yourself of all the great things you can buy with that paycheck whenever you hate your work?

Do you think about everything that could go wrong instead of what could go right whenever you hear about that new thing?

Do you first consider what you might lose instead of what you might gain whenever an opportunity shows up?

If you answer some or all of these questions with yes, then it might be a good time for a change…
