Purpose and passion were the things I was least clear about when I sold my SaaS. And they were also the things that I immediately felt lacking minutes after handing over the business. Never underestimate just how much motivation you draw from passionately living your purpose.

So, how is everyone's imposter syndrome doing today? All alive and well? :P

More than ANYTHING else, this is what I mostly use ChatGPT for nowadays.

Lean into the cringe. Someone else’s discomfort with your choices is their problem, not yours. Creators, this applies to you and your dedication in particular. You’re on a mission. Your mission.

That thing you're holding off on because you need to be a better coder/writer/designer/creator to "give it a fair shot?" It will never happen if you approach it like this. You'll always be a little bit better tomorrow than you are today. It'll always be "tomorrow." Start NOW.

Gratitude is wanting what you already have.

"No self-promotion please" is a mindset that many communities developed because the people who self-promoted only shared things of little or no value. Lead with valuable contributions without asking for anything in return. That's the best selfless self-promotion possible.
