I've been speaking a lot lately about stopping others from getting in the way of your success but none of that matters if you don't believe in yourself first. You are your own most major barrier to doing what you want to do in this world. I mean that.

When something gets difficult, what do we do? We make an excuse not to try. When someone asks us to do something that contradicts with our plan, what do we do? We give in and do it even when we don't want to do. When we start doing something and stop to look at it, what do we do? We just harshly and discourage ourselves.

We are essentially our own worst enemy much of the time. We judge ourselves, we freeze in fear, or feel we have nothing of value to offer. Every human being has something of value to offer another person. So, where do we start?

Know that not everyone is your audience. You're not ever speaking to 7 billion people at once. You're not supposed to and you can't. Not only because it's a bit near impossible but also because

In an extension of previous topics, I wanted to keep attacking this notion that anything we want to do needs to be filtered through the lense of other people in order for that thing to happen. Why do we need approval to do what we want to do? Why do we need someone to sign off on our idea? Especially in 2017 when we there are so few barriers to do what we can to show off our talents. Are you a great musician? Put your stuff on SoundCloud. An amazing artist? Connect and post your work on Instagram. The only thing stopping us is ourselves, old school thinking and how much stock we put in other people’s opinions.

If you truly love what you’re doing, loving the process and respecting yourself enough, you would never let the opinions, blockades, or fears of judgement stop you from getting what you want. Sure, you can gather ideas and opinions from other people but ultimately you need to take ownership of your choices and learn to live with those choices. So perhaps that fear you’re experie

In yesterday's podcast I spoke about the external things in life that are possibly holding us back...family, friends and other negative people close to use who feel like because they feel inadequate about themselves. What's more unfair than that? You holding yourself back because of excuses that don't make sense like "I don't have the tools" or "I don't have the knowledge." Those are two statements that make very little sense in 2017.

We literally have media production machines in our pockets. We have the ability to make YouTube videos with our camera phones and edit them with apps or shoot them in one go to not have to edit at all. We can record podcasts with Anchor by literally putting the phone up to our ears and talking for a while. We are our own PR company with Instagram and Snapchat. We can communicate with communities via Facebook and other services...all while commuting or sitting in bed!

So what's actually the problem?

There's gotta be something bigger. There's a mindset s

With unlimited access to data and many of us having access to cell phones that serve as a mini media production studio, we're slowly running out of excuses to do the things we want to do in this world.

Instagram allows us to be our own PR department, YouTube for video production, Anchor for podcasting and Facebook for creating groups for like-minded people...there are fewer and fewer reasons for us to accomplish anything we want in life.

So, why is it that so many of still struggle with getting off the ground? Why do we continue to make excuses? I believe mindset is the difference between staying on the bench and getting to the starting line.

Unfortunately, we may come across a time in our lives when even those closest to use are going to envy, hate, or look down upon our ambitions, goals, or life changes. Like lobsters in a bucket they can't bare to see you leave for whatever reason they've made up in their head. As unfortunate as it is to see, you have to remember that they are

Podcast | No One Cares About What You Care About • THE CNOTE AUDIO EXTRAVAGANZA | GET RIGHT 53 - Jawn (ft Ms Jade & Pharaoh DeNiro) • No One Cares • Ownership of Your Issues • With Great Whining Comes Great Responsibility • Careful • It's Getting OK Now • Tia Lupe

I know this is hard to hear but no one cares. I'm serious. I'm not trying to be mean, or a downer. I simply want you to know that what you waste your time thinking about, the excuses you make for yourself and things you keep to yourself for fear of judgement are things that no one actually cares about but you.

Not only do you need to take ownership of that but you need to realize that no one can be more invested in your life than you. Expecting others to create a path for you or always have your interest in mind could lead to a lot of unneeded pressure in your personal and professional relationship. Join me as I discuss this topic in more depth!
