I mean, I am just being honest here.
I've had a long journey so far.
I've had my ups and downs. The highs were high and the lows were rock-bottom low.
I've made good money (by my standards) and I had gone terribly broke before.
I made stupid ass decisions when I didn't know what the fuck I was doing, yet at the same time, created magic from there.
I had a decent following too, even with fans writing in to me all the time.
I really do feel that I have something to say. I am confident that I can help people.
But I guess I always struggled with finding what aspect of marketing actually aligns with my (currently short-sighted) views.
And yeah, I definitely struggle with the idea that with the lack of validation which I can use to market; show off, I am simply not worthy.
I'd be personally uncomfortable and self-conscious if I was a fat personal trainer teaching in the gym.
But who are we to judge? Maybe they're pretty good at what they do. At the very least, they're comfortable enough with their image to continue doing what they're doing, successfully at that.
What do you think?
Are we allowed to teach when we lack the credentials?
