10 RAW truths for the Type B Entrepreneur 🐝(*Hint: You Should Just Start Posting)

I started this business before I even knew what business I wanted to start.

No business plan, just vibes 😎 — Type B style, right?

After my near death experience and subsequent awakening, there was no way I could work for anyone else.

Definitely not a 9-5 guy but what’s worse is I fell out of love with my passion for photography. Every time I got on set I felt an emptiness, even when I was surrounded by the good energy of other creatives.

My biggest question was: What the bloodclot am I gonna do with my life?! đŸ˜«

No seriously.

After months of depression, escapism, fighting my demons and dancing with the devil himself I needed one thing — my mommy and my dad.

10 days ago I moved from my temporary home of Brooklyn, NY and into my parents home to regroup, recalibrate and enjoy the Miami sun.

Environment is everything! My nervous system thrives in tropical weather and I could not sustain an ounce of pressure (or freezing temperatures) as I’m figuring out my life.

Over the years, I have developed this diabolical habit of overthinking and it stops NOW.

“Just Starting” is the only cure and like any medicine this sh*t tastes gross.

So here we are, 10 days into this journey and I have learned more through action than I could have ever imagined.

I still don’t know where I’m going but this process is doing something within me that I felt I needed to share.

  • Are you still stuck in the fear of starting your entrepreneur journey?

  • Are you first place in the overthinking Olympics?

  • Do you have no clue what business you want to start?

If this is you then this video is about to be 7 minutes and 56 seconds of me holding your hand and telling you to start NOW!

For those who prefer to read, or want a quick recap, this post breaks down the core principles that are already shaping my path.

If you’re sitting there, buzzing with an entrepreneurial spirit but no clear business idea, my biggest piece of advice is simple: just start posting online. Don’t wait for perfection. Don’t wait for the grand strategy. Just put your ideas out there.

Here are the 10 things that hit me hardest in my first 10 days:

1. Ditch the Dopamine, Embrace the Creator Within

We live in a world of constant consumption. Social media scrolls, endless entertainment – it’s a dopamine trap. What I quickly realized is the power of a dopamine detox. Instead of consuming, start creating. Learning new skills, like writing or video editing, doesn’t just expand your brain; it shifts you from a passive consumer to an active creator. It’s liberating.

2. The Feedback Loop is Your North Star

When you create content, you immediately enter into a powerful feedback loop with your audience. This isn’t just about likes and comments; it’s about paying attention to what resonates. Your audience will show you the value you provide, often in ways you didn’t anticipate. Listen to them. Once you understand that value and build trust, monetization becomes a natural, authentic next step.

3. Flop Fast, Flop Often (It’s Data, Not Humiliation)

This one was a tough pill to swallow initially, but it’s crucial. Those early videos or posts that don’t quite hit the mark? They’re not failures. They’re not humiliation rituals. They are invaluable data points. Each “flop” teaches you something, helping you understand your audience better and, yes, even helping you “own the algorithm.” Embrace the learning curve.

4. Creative Energy and Sexual Energy are Two Sides of the Same Coin

This might sound a bit unconventional, but hear me out. There’s a powerful connection between creative energy and sexual energy. When you’re avoiding creating, you might find other forms of “lust” creeping in. The greats understood this – the ability to transmute that raw energy into creative output is a profound skill. It fuels your drive.

5. Commit to Building Your Own World

What’s the vision in your mind? That unique world you envision? Commit to creating it. Hold onto that vision with everything you do. Every piece of content you create is a brick in that foundation. “If you build it, they will come” isn’t a passive statement; it’s an active call to action, brick by brick, through your content.

6. Give First, and the World Gives Back

This is a fundamental principle of wealth consciousness and something I felt deeply almost immediately. Each upload, each piece of content, is a transmission of energy. Give generously to the world, and that energy will inevitably flow back to you. Everything is energy in a different form, and this mindset is transformative.

7. Document Everything & Master Storytelling

Don’t just create; document your journey. The process itself is rich with lessons, triumphs, and pivots. And as you document, consciously learn the skill of storytelling. Why? Because story converts to sales faster and more effectively than any advertising ever will. People connect with narratives, not just features.

8. Nothing is a Failure, Only a Pivot

This mantra has become my guiding light. There are no failures, only opportunities to adjust, adapt, and pivot. Your purpose isn’t some fixed destination; your purpose is in the process itself. And guess what? You are the creator of that process. Embrace the fluidity.

9. Your Environment Shapes Everything

This cannot be overstated: your environment is everything. It profoundly shapes your mindset, your energy, and ultimately, your decisions. Surround yourself with what uplifts and inspires your vision. Protect your space, both physical and digital.

10. Trust Your Gut and Seek the Right Mentors

In the beginning, everyone has an opinion. But here’s the truth: don’t listen to anyone who hasn’t actually done what you’re doing. Your intuition is your strongest guide. It will lead you to the proper mentors, even if they’re online. Study them, learn from them, but ultimately, trust your gut on what to do next.

The Alchemy of Authenticity

My dream clients aren’t waiting for the old me. They’re waiting for the person I’m becoming through this process. This journey of showing up, acquiring new skills, and embracing new experiences – this is the alchemy that leads to authenticity. It’s how you truly connect with your audience and build something meaningful.

So, if you’re on the fence, jump in. Start creating. Start posting. The world is waiting for your unique vision.
