Content Isn’t Enough

Summary

• I believe consistently creating content is beneficial as it keeps ideas fresh in people's minds, encouraging action.
• However, it's essential to recognize that content may not be enough for everyone trying to make a change or learn a new skill.
• Recognize your own capacity for self-improvement when consuming content; if you find yourself not acting on advice, this is a key indicator.
• For those who struggle to take action solely from content, seeking a coach or mentor could provide the necessary reinforcement.
• Acknowledge if you lack the skill to act on content alone and proactively seek out someone to hold you accountable and support your growth.

How To Take Action

I would suggest first focusing on consistency in creating and consuming content. This can be as simple as setting aside a specific time each day or week to learn something new, and then share what you've learned with others, maybe through a blog, social media, or just talking with friends. Remember, it's all about keeping the good ideas flowing and encouraging action.

But, it's also important to know when you need a little extra push. If you realize you've been learning a lot but not really doing anything with that knowledge, that's a sign you might need more help. So, how about finding a coach or mentor? This doesn't have to be expensive. You can look for free local workshops, find a friend who's also interested in growing, or even ask someone you admire for advice.

Also, know your limits. If you're trying to improve a skill and it's just not clicking, that's OK! Everyone's different. Maybe try breaking the skill into smaller steps and focus on one at a time. And don't forget to ask for feedback. Sometimes a little guidance can make a big difference.

Lastly, make sure you hold yourself responsible. Set goals for what you want to achieve, and check in with yourself regularly. If you said you're going to practice a new skill for an hour each week, have a note in your calendar to remind you. If a coach or mentor is helping you, report back to them on your progress. They're there to support your growth, but you've got to do your part, too!
