The Anxiety Trickle šŸ’§

Hey Champ,

A few days ago I caught up with a friend who lives in Budapest over Zoom.

We go deep into philosophy, humans, creativity and anything you can imagine.

It’s nice to dive into these subjects as it takes you out of client work and into your life’s purpose.

He’s now off LinkedIn and focuses on his blog and client work.

What highly resonated is the fact he said, sometimes he logs in for 30 seconds and he gets this little drop in his throat.

Nice and soggy. Sitting right where you too have felt before.

ā€œThe Anxiety Trickleā€.

Before you even log in, you know you’ll be met with:

- Huge wins
- Leading to self comparisons
- Same regurgitated stuff
- Viral posts about GPT prompts
- Same topics from a year ago
- Find your niche crap
I can’t tell you how much we laughed.

Because it’s true.

People ride the viral wagon like chasing the next crack bottle.

And it’s nothing other than ā€œsoulless soppy nonsenseā€ (- Matt Barker).

What’s a bunch of likes going to do other than stroke your ego?

As we’re evolving in the creator space, you can be a lot more authentic and human driven.

Sure it can get you ā€˜less reach’ but caring more about meaningful connections can make or break the deal.

I was so fired up when we talked about this, I decided to open my The 1-Hour Power Writer workshop I did back in April for a couple of days.

Because the sole purpose was to power write to shift beliefs.

And speak from the heart to your dream clients.

Not sound like a Chrome Extension/GPT puppet.

So, if you missed it, it’ll be available for the weekend here:

Hopefully, together, we can #MakeLinkedInGreatAgain

You can thank my Budapestian amigo for sparking up a fire.

Power to you,

Jacob ā€œbe hoomanā€ Pegs
