To Become Great, Embrace Your Flaws

embrace your flaws

If you want to become great at what you do, it all starts with embracing your flaws. One of my favorite people to do that is Elon Musk. I never admired the guy for being so rich or famous.

And for the longest time, I didn’t think anything of him to be honest. I just couldn’t relate to him. But in recent years, he’s shown his human side.

When he was on the Joe Rogan podcast for the first time in 2018, he talked more about his challenges and what drives him. Every year since then, he seems more like a human and less like a cold businessman / inventor. And to top things off, he revealed on Saturday Night Live that he has Aspergers a while ago.

Without self-belief, we’ll go through life with our heads down, trying to avoid failure, criticism, and risk.

Without self-belief, we think we’ll never be enough. We keep chasing the next degree, experience, promotion, and so forth. 

Without self-belief, no one else will believe in us either.

Benefits vs Features: How to Capture and Keep Attention

benefits vs features

Let’s say you’re a first-time entrepreneur who’s looking to sell digital products or services. Maybe you’re a designer, engineer, coder, or writer. And you’re launching your first online course.

How would you market your product/service? How do you successfully capture the interest and curiosity of your target audience?

Some people decide to leave all their marketing needs to professional marketers. Depending on your circumstances, that could work for you, too. But in my experience, whether you hire a marketer or not, it’s in your best interest to have a good understanding of effective copywriting.

In other words, you want to know how to offer your product in a way that more prospects are willing to buy. You want to increase your conversion rate.
