I keep checking my analytics… and I know I need to stop.
And it’s not even coming from a bad place, that’s the thing.
It’s not like I’m sat there panicking thinking “oh my god nothing’s happening”… it’s actually the opposite.
I’m excited.
Like when I looked at TikTok yesterday and saw one of my carousels had over 2,000 views, I was like… no, no, no, no… what?!
And then the others were over 1,000
and my last video was over 600
and I’ve had new followers, people saving, liking, sharing…
and I was buzzing.
Proper buzzing.
But then I caught myself…
because I keep going back and checking it.
Like opening it again and again and again…
and I’m like
what am I actually doing?
Because the reality is…
the growth isn’t coming from me staring at the numbers.
It’s coming from me doing the work.
And I think this is where it’s really easy to get caught…
because when things START working, you want to watch it.
You want to see it.
You want to keep checking that it’s still happening.
But the thing that actually got it moving…
wasn’t the checking.
It was the doing.
It was me actually showing up, doing the A–Z, trying the carousels, putting things out there in different ways, just getting it done instead of overthinking it.
And I’m loving it as well, that’s the other thing.
I’m actually enjoying creating it.
I’m enjoying seeing how one piece of content can turn into multiple things, like I can take the transcript and turn it into written posts, turn it into something else, it’s not just one and done.
So yeah…
little call out to myself really.
Because it’s easy to get pulled into watching the results…
instead of continuing to create them.
And I know I won’t be the only one that does this…
so be honest…
are you actually doing the work…
or are you just checking to see if it’s working?
