Corporate America Has Failed You
There's a Better Way Forward
Imagine this…
You roll out of bed, rush through the morning to get ready, sit in traffic, sit in a cubicle, stare at an outdated computer screen, wear clothes you don’t want to wear, do what you don’t want to do, don’t see sunlight until the evening, rush home, watch TV scrolling on your phone until you fall asleep.
And then wake up the next day and do it again.
And get this… all while knowing you’re capable of so much more.
Sounds horrible, right?
Many people don’t have to imagine it.
It’s the reality for 80%+ of people.
The good news is you don’t have to accept this reality. You can literally change your reality at any point in time. You can quit. You can get in your car and drive for miles to a remote destination.
You really can do what you want. So why do so many people just continue on being miserable in their jobs?
It’s likely because they’ve grown comfortable with how things are and don’t know how to break out without pain and discomfort.
The bad news? If you want to reach your potential and break free of the NPC, boring, mundane life you’ve been living, it’s going to be difficult and it’s going to be uncomfortable.
But… nothing worthwhile ever came easy. Let me guess… You value freedom.
Location freedom, time freedom, and you strive for financial freedom but you don’t mind if you’re doing something you love.
You’ve read self-improvement books; Atomic Habits, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
You listen to Joe Rogan podcasts. You’ve probably even dabbled in the creator economy and truly want to build something for yourself.
Well, then what’s missing?
Why haven’t things gone as planned and you’ve been able to break out of your current lifestyle?
The one thing you haven’t tried yet?
If you’re like me, you’re always looking for new and insightful newsletters to read.
One of my favorites that I’ve been reading a ton lately is The Small Business Mentor.
Alan, the writer of the newsletter, has built his government contracting business to over $30M in revenue.
In his newsletter, he shares everything he’s learned along the way.
And my favorite part?
He’s a no BS kind of guy… you get all of the details, all of the information you need, without the fluff.
Sign up for his newsletter below:
Completely embodying the process of establishing systems for every area of your life.
There’s three things to understand: habits, routines, and systems.
Habit: a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up.
Routine: a sequence of actions regularly followed; a fixed program.
System: a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism to achieve a specific goal. I used to think systems were only for business purposes.
Turns out, you can build systems for your personal life too. Want to set a goal to hit a specific fitness goal? Build a system. Want to eat healthier by eating specific foods and recipes? Build a system. Want to read a certain number of books each month? Build a system.
Start building systems for your self-improvement goals and you’ll start to become the person you need to be to reach success as a creator.
I promise you, with systems, a clear direction, and a sizable amount of discipline and consistency, and your life can be completely different in 6 months.
Thanks for reading!
Building a brand is about more than copywriting, marketing, and posting content online…
It’s about adopting the mindset, skills, and beliefs that it takes to build a brand and business online.
And that’s exactly what I plan to dive into every day with this newsletter.
Until next time... Keep building,
Clifton
