6 Mind F*cks Paralyzing Isolated Creatives
The Lonely Journey
No one should feel stranded solo on an island building their creative biz.
I've been there and it sucks major butt checks for real.
I always thought I could go far on my own, and at times I did…
Until I dealt with 6 mind fucks that come with venturing on an isolated quest.

The Danger of Entitlement
Don’t get me wrong, I think I needed to see how far (or not far) I could go on my own.
It became a great teacher revealing that if I want to move faster and be efficient with my finite time...
I need to attach myself to other people who:
- Are in a similar lane navigating similar struggles.
- Have achieved the results I'm seeking that can help me get there too.
- Contain the systems, skills, and knowledge I need to level up quickly.
While I enjoy coaching a max of 2-3, one-on-one students at a time throughout the year...
I primarily focus on group coaching because the vibes, support, and accountability are insanely high.
Not to mention I’m in the trenches with these students navigating the same hurdles.
For example, as we wrapped up the most recent 3-Week Boot Camp...
We had a powerful 60-minute group discussion where everyone left fired up with action items to attack.
For context, the majority of the 30+ souls attending this session came in struggling with isolation and lack of support.
Within this call, we sunk our teeth into the following 6 mind fucks that paralyze our progress.
6 Paralyzing Mind Fucks
1. Keeping Your Struggles to Yourself
Being vulnerable is sexy—isolation isn't.
We're all struggling with something—why not struggle in solidarity?
It helps to have a support system to be able to share it with so you're not alone in your head.
2. Trying To Create for the Masses
It’s a bitter, yet important pill to swallow accepting that your work can't be for everyone.
When we cater to the masses, we water down our craft to the point it appeals to no one—not even ourselves.
3. Trying to Do All the Things
Picking a focused lane isn't a life sentence.
It's all about being intentional by creating work you enjoy AND are good at…
Within a set season built around your circumstances and skills.
Don’t forget, that seasons always change.
4. Not Accepting The Facts
You'll never feel caught up…like, ever.
You'll forever feel behind compared to someone else.
Your timeline is unique to your lifestyle—pace yourself and appreciate your progress.
5. Letting Comparison Kill Creativity
True success is finding your own groove and rhythm creating work you vibe to.
Find your own lane and play your own game.
6. Missing the Bigger Picture
Your personal brand is a powerful asset.
In a world full of uncertainty, building your own platform and connecting your story to your work becomes a great hedge.
The Lone Wolf Needs a Pack
Do any of these 6 mind fucks hold you back from unlocking the next level?
I think the biggest takeaway I could ever share with someone is…
That even the lone wolf survives and thrives in a pack.
My darkest days of doubting myself are when I don’t have someone in my corner.
I realize now that I need that support system in whatever area I’m growing in (fitness, investing, creative business, being a dad, Pokemon card collecting, etc.)
I wish you could've been a part of this call as these group coaching calls are a game-changer.
Unfortunately, this recent 3-Week Boot Camp is a wrap.
HOWEVER, if you want to tap into this next level of clarity, accountability, and support…
