If You’re Alone and Chasing a Dream Watch This
Summary
- When I was somewhere between my old friends and not yet successful enough to be with my aspirational peers, I felt very alone.
- I really wanted support during my toughest times, but found that people tend to cheer for you after you've already succeeded.
- The key lesson is to be your own cheerleader, especially when it feels like you're the only one clapping in an empty auditorium.
- Understand that pursuing greatness often means walking a path by yourself, different from the crowd.

How To Take Action
I would suggest always being your own biggest fan. Even when it feels like you're all alone, keep clapping for yourself. Here's how:
- Start by reminding yourself every day why you're working so hard. Write your goals down and look at them each morning. This will keep you focused and motivated.
- Next, celebrate your small wins. Even if it's just you, give yourself a high-five when you make progress. It can be something simple like sticking to your plan for the day.
- Don't compare your journey to anyone else's. You are walking your own path. So, if your friends don't get what you're doing, that's okay. Stay true to what you want to achieve.
- Surround yourself with positive messages. Find quotes or stories of people who have succeeded by believing in themselves. Put these messages where you can see them, like on your fridge or computer.
- Teach yourself to enjoy your own company. The road to greatness can be lonely. Learn to be okay with being by yourself. This might mean doing things you enjoy alone, like reading, working on your business, or just thinking.
- Lastly, find an online community that shares your goals. It's a great way to not feel alone. You can find groups on social media or forums where you can share your struggles and successes.
Remember, it's not about having a crowd cheering for you. It's about cheering for yourself when no one else does. Stick to these steps and you'll be on your way.
