What would I do if I had to start over?

I often talk about the problem of online saturation:

And how this issue just grows bigger over time.

However, I was able to solve this problem myself by doing one thing:

Talking to my Younger Self.

Since the Younger Self concept is what worked for me…

I started sharing this concept with my audience.

But there's one objection I got several times:

I completely understand this perspective.

However, the results I've been able to achieve so far…

…did not require me to have "results first":

• The channel

• The profits

• The experience

It all happened because I leveraged my past.

And to explain this concept better…

I want to show you what I would do if I had to start again:

• With no results

• No experience

• No proof

So you guys can have clarity on this perspective.

Let's talk about it.

If I had to start over…

• I wouldn't start an online business.

• I wouldn't create any offers.

• Instead, I'd leverage creativity.

To expand on these points a bit deeper…

Let's start with a concept I learned from Dan Koe:

Mental Masturbation.

Have you noticed how, when you get into self-development:

• You read a lot of books

• You watch a lot of videos

• But then you find yourself procrastinating?

There's a point where you realize you have been consuming a lot of information but haven't really taken action.

This is known as mental masturbation.

And it happens to a lot of us; it's normal.

Mental masturbation could feel like you're making progress.

But it's tricky because - while you think you're being productive - you're just increasing your awareness.

Awareness can only give us hints on what to do, but it can't solve our problems.

Implementing the information we learn is what creates real progress.

There are a lot of people learning, but only a few actually implement.

How can we be one of them?

The Creative Path.

Awareness is what gets you into the game.

Implementation is how you level up.

Creativity is how you implement.

You can be creative by aligning the information you are consuming…

…to your current life situation.

Doing this allows you to identify the gaps in your current situation:

• How are you lacking the information you're learning?

• If you are implementing it, how are you doing it?

• If you already implemented it, what were the results?

Answering these questions by getting creative is how we start taking intentional action.

This requires:

• Consuming information moderately

• And being more selective about what you consume

So that you have room for implementation…

Therefore, finding the balance that allows real growth.

Getting creative with the knowledge you're consuming is so key:

• It helps you start your own project

• It helps you implement as you learn

• It reinforces the topics you're learning

• It helps you to start practicing skills

• It helps you serve those who are behind you

• It solves the problem of procrastination

Creativity is the key.

Creator Stages.

When it comes to the people who think they can't be creative if they have no results…

That's because they have an offer.

And to sell an offer, of course, you need results.

But the younger self concept is different.

For this concept to work effectively, you must recognize your creator stage.

For example:

My current stage is different compared to most people in my audience.

At my current stage, I can have an offer:

• Content creation got me into video editing

• Thanks to this skill, I was able to create tutorials

• The tutorials allowed me to grow an audience

• This audience helped me get to my first $10k+ online

• Therefore, I can teach others about Authentic Profits

It makes sense for me to have an offer now.

But if I didn't have results - like most beginners - I would not be able to give this advice.

I would be on a lower creator stage.

However, I would still be able to leverage the creative path.

I would create my own perspectives about the topics I'm learning:

• Self-development

• Awareness

• Organization

This would serve the 13, 14, 15… year-old versions of myself.

Those younger versions of me were not looking to buy something…

They're just looking for awareness.

On top of that…

I would choose a skill like:

• writing

• or video editing

To start sharing those topics.

Developing these skills is what would eventually get me the clients.

And that's the whole point:

No matter where I am in my story, the younger self concept will always apply.

Focus On Your Current Situation

Everything starts from the first step of increasing your knowledge.

And then getting creative with it.

Focus on serving others by leveraging your creativity without having an offer.

It's only this path, the one that actually allows you to level up to a higher creator stage.

To a point where you can create an organic offer.

It's like a video game:

You can't get to level 2… if you haven't mastered level 1 first.

Awareness is what gets you into the game.

Implementation is how you level up.

Creativity is how you implement.

Hope this helped.
