I have a lot to share, but you cannot bear it all now. Let me leave you with this for now:
For the past couple of weeks, I've been on a talent hunt, searching for true professionals in specific fields. It was very challenging, and I realized that while every field seems crowded, there are very few true professionals.
This made me understand that there are far fewer experts than people claim to be. The funny thing is, you could be that expert the world is looking for, but you've been procrastinating.
You wrote down a goal in January to learn a skill that takes an average of 6 weeks for beginners, 3 months to reach intermediate expertise, and 9–13 months to gain mastery.
If you had started in January, you'd be a professional by now. But you didn’t. You kept making one excuse after another:
"Oh, I don’t have data."
"Oh, there’s no electricity."
"Oh, I don’t have a PC."
"Oh, my battery doesn’t last."
"Oh, I don’t have money."
Excuses after excuses.
Be sincere with yourself: evaluate your situation. What do you need? What do you already have? And how can you leverage what you have to get what you need?
The world is waiting for you, but not this lazy version of you.
These days, almost everyone is a motivational speaker, but only a few practice what they preach. If there’s a result you’re chasing—whether in finances, health, spirituality, or any other area—and you haven’t achieved it, it’s nobody’s fault. You will always reflect the level of your preparation.
So, get up and plan. Get up and work. Get up and become the master you aspire to be. Get up and be the best in your industry. Get up and claim your seat on the global stage.
Remember these words, and don’t quit anytime soon. This is your stage—don’t sleep on it.
See you next time.
PS: Image of me in a moment of reflection: observing the boundless sea, a testament to the diligence of creation and the perfection of its Creator.
