Within copy writing or even in fact entrepreneurship there's this right of passage... That we must all go through. This feeling where all your neurons are on fire. You're tired, the good kind of tired. The kind of tired where your mind wants to keep on going but your hands keep missing the keys. You try and try and try again. Finally something. A hook. A nibble on the fishing rod. A clue or some sliver of success. We must pass through the gates of hell, or what seems like it, At some point we want to turn back, We feel this urge, this fear. We see the fire raging beneath. We wonder whether we can handle it. "Can I do this?" "Will I be able to make this work?" "I have no idea what I'm doing" The uncertainty. Pain. Melancholy. The constant scoffs from your own family. You're dealing with all the animosity from your peers. You're taking arrows to the chest from people who's opinions don't even matter that much. You don't even know most of them. But at some point you have to decide whether you're willing to jump. And then JUMP. Usually if you're uncertain about what you're doing in business and it means you're going in the right direction. Btw, I have a newsletter and I'm not quite sure how to integrate it with copywriting? If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Meet 17 year old Keyur. This kid was fresh out of 11th grade and well on the way to his final year of high school. Keyur was an anime fan. But not like those guys who emerged after COVID-19, he was an OG anime fan. Cool guy. One day, on a random Tuesday in December of 2020... He watched one of the most gruesome anime scenes of all time. The death of Commander Erwin During the 2nd mission to Shiganshina on Paradis Island. Before he died, His lieutenant said some of the most absurd words I've ever heard in my life... "Give up on your dreams and die" And these words ultimately changed the course of the commanders life. His sacrifice wasn't in vain. He could have been saved later on. But his sacrifice was ultimately for the greater good. Those words did the weirdest thing to my brain. I immediately understood that i had to fight for the things that I wanted to do in my life. 17 year old Keyur wanted to be an entrepreneur. He didn't want to go to university... He didn't want to follow the normal path. He wanted to have the Freedom to build something that was meaningful to him. Enter copywriting. 21 year old Keyur discovered what it was. Started pitching clients. Got his first client. Now at 22, I'm pursuing that dream using copywriting. And I'm on the journey to getting more and improving everyday. Don't give up on your dreams. Fight for it everyday. Sacrifice for it. And bet on yourself. Cheers, Keyur

There's probably a lot of you in this community that, Like me, Have been wrestling with the idea of whether this online business thing is going to work out in the end. You see these gurus on social media pushing lambos and going to exotic locations, Year round and you think, that's the life. That's what I want to do. You find an online business model. You grind like you've never seen money in your entire life. You try and try and try... And then you give up after 3 months of doing it and you quit... DO NOT STOP. KEEP GOING... You will start to see life changing because you have changed your perspective of what's actually possible in the world. And in online business there's so much potential. One piece of advice... Don't wait for permission. Ask for forgiveness. It's really hard to stop a rocket once it takes off. It's even harder to stop it once it reaches escape velocity. Don't wait for anyone's permission to try something out. As an Entrepreneur and as a copywriter... You have to be able to test, test and test. So take this post as your permission to do the thing... Keep at it.
