What We Fake In Social Media
Fake lives
Fake businesses
Fake social media
Fake. Fake. Fake.
I’ve never hidden the fact that I have a unique brain
What I have (hypomania) has taken me years to get under control
It’s a blessing and a curse
One of the side effects is when I’m ‘up’; I can go days without sleep – or very little – have been existing on roughly 2/3 hours a day for 4 days I think now
During this time my mind simply revs faster and faster
I think things through, seemingly making 100’s and 1000’s or connections and solutions
I’ve found myself becoming tetchy during this time and needed a day or so to analyse what I was thinking and feeling
As much as fucking love social media; what it has done for my and so many people in my life
It’s a double edged sword
I see grandiose boasts…
Impossible things claimed as real…
Hollow platitudes with zero depth behind then…
Weak, watered down, copied content…
Fake bullshit everywhere
One thing I’ve tried to do is be as honest as I can; share the realities of last entrepreneurship and share freely
Highs and lows
Wins and losses
And I put my fucking all into what I do; I know I can sometimes be a bit blunt or flippant – but always meant with good nature and a nod towards infotainment
But I’m pissed
I’m tired of people talking such utter Shute on social media
Case in point
You want more?
I DO MORE
Fucking HUNDREDS of you wanted to do the content challenge
Only a handful of you actually show up and do anything (fair play to you for doing what you said you won’t do FYI)
Which is – of course – your right
I can’t make you
By the 4th day the lack of action showed totally demotivated me and I NEVER get that
Hence needed time to figure out why I was so pissed
And honestly it’s because I actually do give a flying fuck
But if your actions don’t match your words, then honestly you need to dial down your expectations from life
Because you won’t achieve anything close
How you do one thing?
Is how you do all things
You can kid yourself all you want
But if your not prepared to show up, do the work, and achieve what I truly believe everyone CAN achieve if they put in the time
Leave
Please just leave this group now
Because I want this group which will ALWAYS remain free – a promise I won’t break – to be filled with people who actually give a shit
I built a large part of my businesses and career on giving
The responses to questions and poss asking for help and advice in this group – from good people who need help – have been fucking dire
Those of you that take time to help your fellow humans?
I tip my digital hat to you
Fucking awesome
But to those who just take and take and take?
Again
Please leave
This is supposed to be a community of people who may not know either other outside the pixels of social media take toke time to be there for one another
By the main thing it’s about is GETTING SHIT DONE
If you are happy where you are in life and don’t want more money…
More time…
Or more freedom…
Then I’m truly happy for you and – really – would love to hear how you achieved those things
But if you don’t just want, but fucking DEMAND more from life?
SHOW THE FUCK UP
Don’t lurk…
Be helpful…
Contribute (yes you’re worthy)…
Don’t just take…
And the main thing?
Don’t be fake
And what I mean by that is don’t be in this group and say you are going to get shit done and then lie to yourself that you actually are
It doesn’t hurt me
I’m fine
It hurts you
This may all sound a bit harsh but fuck it; it’s my daft bearded face up there on the banner and if a few people get butt hurt because of his post BUT it lights a rocket under the rest of your asses
Worthy sacrifices
Entrepreneurship saved my life, secured my sisters future, got a home got my folks and through my work has helped hundreds of thousands of other
I get sad and angry and pissed off with people falling for fake shit and believing this world is easy
It’s not
It can be fucking brutal at times
But if you stay the course it’s the most rewarding thing you can do that can change lives
But I’m done with the bullshit
I’ll continue to show up
I’ll continue to do & create what I can to help
I’ll be here every god damn day
And I hope you will join me in showing up and doing the work
If you have been kidding yourself
I get it
I truly do
I did myself for so many fucking years
Believed all my lies
Believed all my hype
And it took a close friend to call me out on my fake assed actions as they didn’t match my words
It hurt
It stung
But it changed the course of my life
So in closing
This group will always be about you AND me; it’s a community and we are – as far as I’m concerned – in it together
But if you are here just to take, not be an active (no matter HOW small) member of this community, or want to kid me and you that you are doing the work you say you are
Please leave
No hard feelings
Really
And to those of you that actually want to get more out of this group, life, money, freedom – whatever it is that’s drives you
I look forward to seeing your honest asses tomorrow
You are worthy
You are valued
You will be supported
You have my word
Dan
PS if you are struggling, need help or advice ASK
I’ll ensure no one makes you feel stupid or any less important than anyone else
We are all equal; some of us just a little fitter ahead and have more skills
And for those of us in that category?
It’s our DUTY to help
