social media was never worth it without the onion method…

You think social media is worth it, but is it really? Like, when you really stop and think about it, is consuming so much social media actually worth it?

I learned from Sam Ovens (I’m pretty sure it was him) about this mindset called the “any benefit.” Basically, if there’s any benefit to something, then people assume it must be worth it. But that’s just not true.

Yeah, there are benefits to social media. For example, maybe you learned about your business model there, or you picked up some habits, good or bad. But the bad things about social media heavily outweigh the good. And honestly, you can still get all the good stuff without all the bad stuff, if you just use some discipline and actually focus.

For me, I don’t consume short-form content, and I don’t watch TV shows. The only movies I watch are for school. Other than that, I only listen to specific podcasts, what my mentor recommends, and then audiobooks. And you don’t need social media for any of that. You can still listen to audiobooks. You can still educate yourself heavily without it.

So maybe it’s time to realize that social media is just not worth it. And maybe, just maybe, you should stop consuming it and put that energy and focus into something way more beneficial, like reading books, listening to audiobooks, learning from your mentors, or tuning into specific podcasts.

If you have any questions about this, I’ll do my best to answer. I’m pretty busy these days, but yeah, if you’ve got questions just let me know.
