Not like every motivational post you've read before
If you feel de-motivated,
If you feel stuck,
If you feel lost,
If you feel like things are taking way longer than they should,
If you feel like your not making progress no matter how you try,
If you question giving up sometimes
If you feel let down because you haven't hit your goals yet even though your seeing others crushing it,
Forget about all of that,
THIS is might just change your world,
Now, this is not gonna be that post where it's just affirmations, or someone shouting at you do "Do mOrE",
This is something you've probably never seen before.
Because when I saw this,
it really made me think differently about my entrepreneurial journey.
(Warning: This will be a long post, but a worth it one, just hold on with me here)
So I just watched a movie yesturday with my family,
It's called piece by piece,
And it's Pharrel williams life story, (the guy who many the song: because I'm happyyyyy & minions music double life)
Told in the form of LEGO.
It's how he went from zero, broke, being told he couldn't succeed, he was "odd"
To being one of the greatest artist known today,
Actually, he's considered a music LEGEND.
Now there was 3 particular moments in the movie that really sunk deep for me,
No other artist...
No entrepreneur...
And no content creator has inspired me like pharrel has after I saw this...
I won't spoilt the whole movie, that's for you to discover,
But I'll tell you what really sunk with me.
👉 The fact that it took him 5 years JUST to start gaining traction
He went to every artist he could find and asked everyone on the street to listen to his music,
and got a bunch of NO's.
Like a thousand no's....
After 5 years of making music,
collecting beats,
he got so many no's,
so many rejections,
so many "your not ready"s
Nothing was working.
But he was PERSISTANT, determined.
If it meant jumping and stomping on the producers desk to get his point across, he did it
Knocked on EVERY door.
Imagine he he gave up on year 2, or year 3 or year 4...
Most people give up too soon without realising it will happen for them.
👉 He has a VERY inspiring circle of friends
As a child,
He grew up around a VERY encouraging circle of friends and family
Pusha T, Missy Elliot, the two dudes he was in a band with.
He was friends with all the known rappers (also upcome at the time)
And, he was around music EVERYDAY.
This is what drove him:
he had that positive influence,
he had that guidance,
he knew he could do it, they all knew
(by the way his entire friend circle is successful)
Kinda like being here in this network :)
👉 He's passionate about what he does subconsciously.
He lovesss what he does.
Music fuels him,
He breathes music,
He makes it everyday,
He is music at this point haha.
But he's passionate,
he's CONVICTED and CONFIDENT in his own music.
The reason why I wanted to tell you this is because,
This can take time to start.
Maybe a year, maybe 2, maybe 3, hell maybe even more,
But it took pharrel 5 years just to get traction.
And imagine If i told you,
In 3-5 years time, you're gonna be a MILLIONAIRE.
You'd wait.
But the difference is,
we don't know when it's gonna happen.
Your first client,
Your first few clients,
First $5K,
First $10K+
You don't know.
But what you can do is,
like pharrel,
It took him 5 years,
Take action every single day,
Try things even of they seem crazy or maybe the wrong or right decision,
Fail and fail,
Be persistant,
And be convicted in what you do.
Don't stop until you win.
And yes it will take time,
Because now, he's considered a music legend.
He created all the known songs:
Drop it like it's hot snoop dog, my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, lucky etc etc
And it has takes time for me aswell to get to where I am,
And I'm okay with it taking time because that's just the reality.
So i want you to leave this post today,
with THAT in mind.
But in the meantime,
I recommend you give the movie a shot.
Or listen to the song "piece by piece"
I thought it was gonna be "cringe" or "kiddy"
But even though it's a "lego" movie,
It will be the most moving story you'll ever see.
(It's not childish either, it's incredibly relatable. Older and younger)
👉The movie is called Piece By Piece
Watch his whole story!
Study him.
I don't know who needed to hear that, but if you did...
...just know can do this this.
Even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
Even if it feels like your lost.
Even if it feels like you're taking longer than others.
Because eventually, it will happen for you.
And yes, everyone has their struggles, everyone had their own unique story.
Some might take longer than others and some might get traction faster.
But that's YOUR story, and you can tell it later.
Go get it guys 🤟❤️
Much love,
Alicia
