You are not competing against top creators. You are not competing against money. You are not competing against opposing parties who wake up and try to make you fail.
You are competing against yourself. And the second you give yourself an external excuse such as "they have more money, they have more resources, they have x"...
You lose. You have lost against yourself.
The people who are at the top started solo. They started alone. With probably no money.
Go be a competitor and LOSE so you can figure out how to win
for the love of God or anything you love -
just show up man. show up. try. fail. fuck up. learn. study. make effort every single day.
Ive been trying to teach myself roblox game development for 5 months now. I've released 0 successful games
But i learn every day and get better every day. I study, I make tools to help myself, I try to learn it all.
How much game development skills did I have 6 months ago? Literally 0.
All I did was commit one day to learning the new thing and Ive come so far.
Ive generated around 20k robux so far. And my games have been played by over 300k people TOTAL.
Those aren't the best numbers, I know, I'm not bragging. But i did start. And those numbers arent 0s.
PLEASE SHOW UP FOR YOURSELF, FOR YOUR FRIENDS, FOR YOUR FAMILY, FOR YOUR FUTURE.
Go out and create some shit you genuinely love that came from your heart today.
Don't optimize your hook. Don't optimize for views. Doesn't even need to be on the biggest trend. Just create something that speaks to you. Share it with friends, share it with family, share it with followers
If it goes viral, fantastic. If it completely flops, also fantastic. Because you're creating to create, which is why you probably started. So tap back into creating to create, and don't worry about what the little number says.
Creating to create for my passion to create is what got me to where I am. I tried bending the knee to trends, but always felt either behind, or what i was doing was worth nothing
Create to create. Create to share. Its human nature to make something with your love and share it with the ones you love. You should get back to that.
The truth is…
You must keep going.
I repeat, keep going
Why?
Because you deserve to see what happens when all your hard work pays off
Keep going because you’re stronger than you think you are
Keep going because each step closer is one step closer to your goals
Keep going because the best is yet to come
You need to understand you can’t win all the time
Unless you lose, you haven’t even really tried. And if you fail, at least you fail falling forwards
Keep going. Because the one thing you can be absolutely certain of, is the tables will turn.

The curse of discipline is that every day looks the same. The curse of indiscipline is that every year does.
As much as I hate seeing AI used to take creative jobs, or any jobs for that matter, I use it daily.
Coding projects, better data tracking and visualization, ideation, mass market analysis
I believe there’s a skill gap between ai users, and a larger gap between who uses ai and doesn’t
Use the tools at hand. They’re powerful and free. You gain nothing being the guy who did things in a harder fashion than the next guy
Reps. You need more reps. More. Get more reps
But be intentional with each rep
With each rep you must be calculated in what the rep is for
Reps for the sake of reps are wasted energy
Be intentional. Be calculated. Not perfect. Perfection is the pursuit of never ending failure
To my editors - stop allowing yourself to be underpaid.
Take offers to get in the door and immediately show your value and get what your worth
Most of my deals while editing were for % splits on revenue. It was provable my work drove more income, so I got my cut
Editors are the backbone of a successful anything that puts out content
Streamer university has confirmed 2 things I
- not everyone is going to make it
- the ones who will, already standout
How many people have we seen bitch on socials about how much work Ludwig said needs to be put in?
How many streamers have we seen completely fuck off while having access to the most successful creators on the platform?
How many people cried about not being accepted while not doing the bare minimum?
People want to be streamers bc they see how much money there is, but never consider their data pool of “success” is limited to the top .0001% and never consider falling within the top 10% and making sub $100k per year
Last thing, and a reminder at that
You are your only competition. If you can’t beat yesterday’s version of yourself, you’re gonna struggle. There are masterclasses on streaming being provided and some people don’t do the minimum of taking notes. Those people are their own competition, so just worry about yourself and Win.
Couldn’t have it said it better myself. The creators who are showing up and trying are the ones making it in the space right now.
I’ve had 4 creators that I work with weekly this year go from <5,000 views avg and as of this week have 1M+ view videos
Just start. Take the leap.
There has NEVER been a better time to start doing content creation than RIGHT NOW.
Countless creators I've worked with this year have already made this a living from TikTok Live alone which is by far the best way to grow your brand.
If you're someone who's maybe never took TikTok live series or have no idea how to get a better push organically, hit my DMs 🤝
What people think is the hardest about content/streaming
- Recording
- Editing
- Scripting
- Getting into streamer university
- Creating merch
- Living in Miami or LA
- Hanging out with celebrities
The actual hard part
- Showing up everyday
- Improving 1% everyday
- Ignoring other creators’ success & focusing on yours
You know how many people I watch every day who claim how bad they want it, the sacrifices they claim to make, and then they can’t even show up? Let alone, to a call that’s to their benefit?
You are your only competition. Show up. Work hard. Improve a little each day.
You will make it.
