I downloaded Threads Memorial Day weekend 2024. I remember it well. We went to Oceanside, CA for a family vacation. Amanda’s Mom rented a house right on the water. It was stunning. Here’s me on the back deck… The kids & Amanda hung out with her 23 year old son (who lives in San Diego) on the trip. I spent a lot of time sitting on the back deck overlooking the ocean. Listening to the waves crash against the rocks, people walking on the boardwalk and birds chirping. That’s when I started playing on Threads. I started answering questions…no idea where it was gonna lead me. I didn’t have a plan, or a strategy, or an audience. I just answered strangers questions. That’s the story of how it started. I’ve posted for 725 straight days on Threads… This Saturday, will mark 2 straight years of posting. Here’s what nobody tells you about starting… The days nobody sees you are the days that matter most. The 8 posts in a row with ZERO likes. The dozens of posts no one commented on. The Sunday you almost quit. That’s where it’s built. I thought I was killing time answering questions on that deck in Oceanside with the cloud covered sky. Turns out I was starting something that was about to transform my damn life. Too many people are waiting. I’ve yet to find a right time. But there’s a moment you stop waiting and just DO the damn thing, and you don’t stop. If you’re in the quiet early days right now, feeling like nothing’s working… Keep. Fu*king. Going. 92.3% of the game is refusing the throw the towel in. The P.S. has something for you tomorrow. But today, just show up. YOU GOT THIS 🙌 In your corner, P.S. Tomorrow I’m opening something I don’t talk about much. Keep yo eyes peeled. |
