Dear Chase,
Happy New Year man.
Because I'm sure you're still adjusting to being back to the grind, I'll keep this one relatively quick.
I'm lucky that I get to speak to a ton of entrepreneurs on a daily basis.
Successful, unsuccessful, young, old, across all industries.
There's one trait (among many) that I commonly find in all of the most successful entrepreneurs, especially the ones who make money quickly.
This one in particular is something that can be easily replicated by unsuccessful (or not successful yet) entrepreneurs to speed up the process, because it's just a mindset tweak.
Doesn't require you to buy a course or spend years mastering something.
All it is, is this:
A good entrepreneur is able to enter into an opportunity without having all of the information available to them, and they have trust in themselves that they will discover the information naturally along the way.
How many times do you wanna do something, but you put it off because you "don't feel ready"?
Probably pretty often.
And for myself, as a copywriter, a lot of people will email me saying the same thing.
They've already bought a course, they've already done some practice copy, but they don't feel ready to start doing outreach because they don't have all of the information yet.
This is a trick your brain plays on you to keep you alive.
Back thousands of years ago, if you went into something without as much info as possible, you could have died.
Now, in 2024, people think their life is on the line if they put a business/project in motion without already having years of experience.
The reality is this:
You will NEVER have all of the information you need to do XYZ thing.
Even once you're years into the game, you'll always have questions and missing pieces.
The only way to start is to start WITH the questions.
As long as you have the basics, you'll figure it out.
Trust me.
And trust YOURSELF.
You know that the basics of copywriting are to have a website, a portfolio, and start sending cold emails/DMs.
Yes, of course there's way more to know, but you'll figure it out along the way.
If you're waiting to have 100% of the information before you get going, you'll never start.
Tell yourself this:
As long as you feel 40% ready, start.
Set the expectation below what you're used to.
And you'll watch yourself grow as a person from all the new things you can experience without spending weeks or months researching something that you STILL won't understand.
Dive head first.
And just do your best.
Yours truly,
Alex.
