FROM THE DESK OF JEFF DOLAN
Slow is the new fast
Every time I scroll through social media these days, I see people sharing their hack, trick, secret, or shortcut.
It's gone so far, there are de-influencers now. These creators sarcastically share things that don't work, tell you what is not good about products, or make comedy out of guru advice.
The fastest way to $1 million? Start with $2 million.
Want to get paid on Spotify? Just cut a short song and program it to repeat 24-7.
That kind of thing.
But the thing I've learned in spades this year in the content marketing world, is that there are no short cuts.
You have to "put in the reps," as they say. You can't get strong by reading about lifting weights.
The short cut actually is slowing down, learning it properly, doing the inner work, and following a plan.
So if it takes you longer to do all the necessary steps, so be it.
It's still faster than the never-ending cycle of secrets that take you back to the beginning to start over with a new secret.
