Stop Thinking Outside the Box, Burn It
Embrace The Indie Creator Vibe.
Everyone says, “Think outside the box.”
But no one tells you the box was just a repackaged sales funnel.
When I started out, I absorbed everything I could read from the so-called “Gurus” I bought overpriced product after overpriced product, each with a more complicated system than the last one.
Then, one day, I had a moment of realisation, this was BS for the sake of BS.
So I stopped buying what they sold… and started copying what they did.
It’s all the same
Most advice online sounds like it was written by a committee of gurus who all went to the same conference and got drunk on each other’s ideas.
Go and read some posts by the top 3 or 4 gurus in your niche, and you’ll see they all say the same things but put a different spin on it.
If you look back a few years, you’ll see that they were doing the same in whatever niche was hot at the time.
The advice usually boils down to…
“Pick your niche.”
“Follow the blueprint.”
