You have my permission to succeed
My last remark at my product panel at the Problogger event was simply…
I give you my permission to succeed.
At the time it probably stuck with more to than it did to you so I wanted to explore it a little further.
As a product and monetisiation guy at a conference full of 450 bloggers, questions about where to start, how to start, what to start and where to go next represent a pretty big chunk of a steady line of inquiry.
As much as give the answer, I often try to understand why you’re asking me these question. I find, more often that not, you already know the answers, you’ve done the work, all your asking is for permission from someone who’s done it before.
I want this post to serve as a reminder to all the people I spoke with at the event.
You don’t need to ask. You have my permission. Go make something wonderful.
The longer you hesitate, the more you think should I shouldn’t I, the more energy you’ll waste wondering. Transfer that thinking energy into doing, and the conversations we’ll have next year will be very different.
I promise.
Love it, Shayne!
Last year was good, this year will be better. I’ve committed to releasing my next product (a bimonthly digital magazine) on December 1, and it’s in a HUGE part thanks to your’s and Ed’s lounge session at PBEvent.
So thank YOU!
Great news Brooke. Make sure you let me know when it’s released!
Great post Shayne! And so true, I think we are often just looking for someone to say “Yes, you are on the right track – keep going”
I have such a long list of things I plan on launch in the next 12 months! Exciting
