I am having a serious case of either writer's block or ADHD, I can't decide yet. Anyone else ever have these issues?
I want to talk about not quitting and the importance of being patient enough to "trust the process" because a company has decided to make me an affiliate and send me some gear that will enhance my stream and make it a lot more fun for my viewers. I don't want to give it away until I get it and put in on for the stream. However I will say that with the Borderline Personality Disorder and the big emotions I experience from it, I think the audience is going to love watching my reactions a lot more! I will make a blog post once I get it, and make sure you can see a video of it in action if my stream isn't for you.
You must contact the company sell them on you. My first attempt at contacting them I didn't even get a response. Then I put more work into my overall vision, and tried again. This morning I woke up to an email telling me they are out of brand new ones to send, but are going to send me an "open box" one to get started. This is PROGRESS. It is the little victories that add up!
I had to put myself out there, accept failure, put in work on my overall vision, and try again. That is why we must trust the process, and if you are patient enough and willing to do the work, you eventually get a win, and if its not the win you wanted, keep working till you are happy. I am FUCKING thrilled right now, this is the third company to agree to work with me and be part of my story, see my vision, and well invest in me. I have to say it makes me feel GREAT.
It is 100% okay to rock the boat. After I made my documentary I had naysayers and people try to convince me to make changes. I was accused of "cop bashing" so I asked a high ranking police officer I knew for advice. I was told not to change a thing, that it if I wanted to be successful I would have to get used to upsetting people, he had no problem with the video and felt it was "Amazing." My family (minus my Dad) wants nothing to do with me because of my work, and I am okay with that. My point is its okay to be you, its okay to upset people, there are going to be times that not everyone will agree or see the same concept. Without multiple perspectives, we can not grow, can not have intelligent conversations, and well we become boring.
I am aiming for one post a day, sometimes two, this and streaming are both very therapeutic for me. How did I do for having a case of writers block? If you have a story you want me to secretly share for you, questions, or anything productive to say, email me at xlcoachlx@gmail.com, find me on social media, catch me on a live stream, or fill out the contact form.
Thank you,
Mikey
