Hey Academy! I got a special working session planned for Wednesday on THE POPE BOT! (but I have a favor to ask in return — its super easy see below) If you haven't seen it yet, CHECK IT OUT HERE. We'll talk about use cases, build some stuff maybe even one of your suggestions. Challenge me to build something live! I'll take sometime to answer questions live too. Not only is this a seriously powerful tool, it's no joke, no toy, but it's a wonder tool to learn from. If you look under the hood you'll learn so so much. So I'll spend sometime showing you how it actually works too. I learned a TON building it, so let me share that with you.

@Stephen G. Pope Quick question. Is the affiliate program for KEDB still active?

A few unfiltered thoughts on how I think about attaining success.

Is selecting the right niche really that important? Well yea, but let's put some meat on that bone. It is important, I have a niche and it helps a lot. But only a well educated person (and by well educated, I mean educated on market desires, not skills) can just select the right niche and be successful. What I mean is, only someone that knows a niche well, someone that has researched it, and knows the problems well can just select a niche out of the blue and serve them. Only a person that has that type of mindset can just "select" a niche and run with it successfully. There are some people that can do that, they just go talk to people, find a problem, and solve it. That takes a special type of person, one who's only motivated by the "game" of business. They could careless about their passions, what they prefer, they only care about money, they go find a problem, and then they solve it. They could care less if they enjoy the work. If you do that things can happen very fast for you. BUT. Most of us, are driven by our passions. We are not like that, it's not JUST for the money, it's to live a life we love. When you're driven by passion, success requires you to develop a valuable skill within your zone of genius. You'll have to twist, turn, and flop around a bit until you match that with passion with people that want to hire you. That means you just have to get out there and help people, and eventually your niche will pick you. That is, if you're doing the work and pushing forward without the perfect answer. Your niche, your unique selling proposition isn't a course module away, where you fill out yet another GURU's business template. Do you really want to fill out another ICP module?? How many times have you done that now? how many times has it helped? I can't stand those anymore. No! Your niche and unique ability is found in doing work for people, having success, having failures, doing more of this, less of that, and iterating on that until you find your zone.

I feel great right now, just finished my YouTube video. But, last night and earlier today I felt quite anxious. I've always been a bit anxious before I record, though the reason why has changed overtime. That resistance whatever it is, is still something you need to push through (if you want a personal brand). In the beginning it was about my looks, how I talked, my background, cameras, lighting etc. Now it's because a lot of people see my videos and I want them to be very good. I want to help people. But either way I'm anxious, but I've learned to live with it. I must deal with it, if I want to full-fill my mission and vision. Which is to help build a world where everyone has the tools and resource to reach their maximum potential. Mission and vision does everything for me, it pushed me past any selfish insecurity or anxious feeling that keeps me from helping my tribe. At each step of your content creation journey you'll hit resistance, tap into something bigger that gives you no choice but to overcome. A little anxiety is nothing compared the feeling of letting your people DOWN. Anxiety < Guilt
