For the last couple of weeks, I have been experimenting with short form content.
i think i've done it for like three weeks now in a row i have a lot of opinions on it and a lot of data and stats to share with you and don't you worry i will make a video about what what i have found about what works and what doesn't work as a long form content creator slash business owner But just this morning, I had this idea to do a two part.
Like I'm going to post this reel today and then tomorrow I'll post like part two.
I don't want my followers who are like, family, friends, business friends, clients, potential clients, whoever.
And it's, it's, almost debilitating, literally debilitating to the point where it's like, why am I even doing this? And the result of being debilitated by that level of overthinking that is driven by, I don't want to look stupid, I don't want to look like an idiot, I don't want to look like I don't know what I'm doing, is simply wasting time because I...

They're around for they could show up in search for for years.
So if I do something wrong, if I say the wrong thing, or if I have a lead magnet, I want to promote this lead magnet.
What if I change my mind of the lead magnet? Then what? So what do I create that's going to be the right thing to create? How do I do it right so that at no point in the future, it's going to be wrong? If that's what you're thinking, what the heck do I post? You need to know that...
