Social media is a great tool if you can keep it real.
But it pushes you to fake it.
"No one will hire me if tell the truth". Then people talk above their own level.
But it's a trap, when you fake it, it slows you down -- you can't actually grow.
You're literally making shit up, and then you have to pretend that shit works.
When you're real, you're free, you move fast, you can document your journey. You can explore, improve, show off, it's easy.
You learn REAL STUFF.
When you fake it, you move slow, covering your tracks, you feel like an imposter. You move slow hoping that you're not "exposed" as a fraud.
Sometimes people feel like an imposter because they ARE.
The only people that can truly fake it online, succeed and make a lot of money are people with no morals.
They aren't honest, and they leave a trail of wreckage behind them.
If you're a normal person like me, who feels bad if they lie, just be you, all the time, as best you can.
On the flip side, don't sell yourself short, brag a little. Brag a lot even, just brag about real stuff.
Be free, be open, let the world see who you are.
You're a wonderful person who has many REAL experiences to share.
Now you just need to go do it.
