Pick your niche. Decide. Stick to it.
Did you know the word "decide" comes from the Latin word "decidere"?
It's made up of "de," meaning 'OFF,' and "caedere," meaning 'CUT.'

This actually really made me think.
It's hard to pick one of the many paths to follow because they each have different things you're good at and really like to do. I used to feel this way too...
I didn't want to be known for just one thing. I wanted to help with many things.

You can change your niche whenever you want. You have the freedom to explore and grow.
You don't have to stay in one niche forever. But you do need to choose something to start.
When I didn't stick to a niche, I had to start from zero again and again...
I wondered why I wasn't seeing money coming into my bank account. Who could've figured?
I really feel that the cycle of always starting, stopping, and starting again keeps us from making real progress online.
In "The One Thing" by Gary Keller, he says, "Success is sequential, not simultaneous." This means focusing on one thing at a time helps you succeed.
Just take a look at YouTubers like MrBeast.
He focused on one type of content that worked for himโ> crazy challenges and stunts and stuck with it. Now, he's one of the biggest YouTubers in the world. He learned through doing, understanding the platform, and reading the analytics over a long period of time.
Imagine if he kept switching his niche every few months. He wouldn't have built such a huge following.
Take Steve Jobs, for example. He focused on making Apple products the best they could be. If he had tried to juggle multiple business ventures at once, we might not have the iPhone today. His focus would've been scattered like one glass of 237 ml (8 fl. Oz) of water being poured into 5 similar cups.
You would barely have filled them up.
Focus on filling up 1 cup and when it's overflowing --> then go to the next one.
Make a decision. It's okay to grow and change, but ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐น๐๐ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐. You can do more by narrowing down your focus to a focal point, making you avoid starting over all the time.
I hope this helps you like it helped me.
Choosing a niche doesn't put you in a box. It gives you a starting point. Stay focused, keep going, and you'll see progress, i guarantee you that.
What unique value do you bring to your niche?
