 There’s a lot of advice I wish I could’ve given my 19-year-old self:
“It’s OK to eat carbs.”
 
“Please invest your savings. PLEASE.”
 
“You will not get an STD and die if you give an over-the-pants hj. TBH, it wouldn’t hurt to be a *little* sluttier.”
 
“ALWAYS hire movers. Pizza and beer are not enough to bribe friends into performing manual labor.”
 
“To be human is to be cringe. Embrace it.”
 
 
But if I had a Time Machine and could only share one thing with my virginal, terrified, broke, angsty 19-year-old to utterly change the course of my future, it’d be this TikTok.

Here’s the thing.
 
The human brain is hardwired to solve problems. (Which is why we also, sometimes, create problems for ourselves. We’re bored 🙃)
 
Let’s say you’re an intuitive creator 👀
 
Part of you knows that making more money will help improve your quality of life, but that it’s not the most important thing in the world.
 
Unconsciously, though, there’s a part of you that thinks: “Well, if I figure out how to make profitable content and start making $10k a month, ALL of the issues in my life will go away!
 
… I won’t be stressed, and then I’ll be nicer to my family
… I’ll feel fulfilled, so I won’t ever feel sad or depressed or lost
… I’ll have money, and that’ll make me more lovable” 
 
(Editor's note: SIKE! You’re lovable just the way you are ❤️) 
 
etc. etc. etc. infinity forever. 
 
You know what actually happens when you solve a problem? You unlock a NEW set of problems.
 
💰 You start making $10k a month? You’ll need to actually set up that business bank account.
🎨 You make a course that has your audience chomping at the bit? Time to figure out how to package it… and design it.
📈 Your profile grows and people start to pay even more attention to you? Now you’ve got a community to care for.
👩‍💼 Expand so much you need to hire some help? Uhm… how do you even go about hiring someone, let alone training them?!
 
But, my friend, these are upgraded problems. Good problems to have. FUN problems to have. Problems you'll be able to solve when you get to them. 
 
Because the hurdle of setting up a business bank account is better than a $0.37 debit card balance.
 
Figuring out how to design a workbook that people are dying to have is better than screaming into the Black Void of Instagram with nary a single response.
 
Building community — even when it’s tough — is so much more fulfilling than lone wolf-ing it.
 
Creating an opportunity to pay someone a fair wage at an inclusive, intuitive company to do work they love is SO MUCH BETTER than burning yourself out trying to do it all.
 
Learning how to make profitable content will create new problems for you.
 
Upgraded problems.
Better problems.
Fun problems.
 
But it will also solve a lot of problems, too.
