The Overload of Online Advice: When you're scrolling through social media, you hear things that pull you in different directions and pull you apart. My advice is to choose the people who resonate with you the most and then really run for it. If you try to take advice from multiple people, you're going to be running in different directions, and you'll get nowhere.

The Power of a Singular Vision: I've seen this firsthand when I've created video adverts for different companies. The best adverts I've made for clients come from a place where we've taken all of their views on board at the start, and then I've been given free reign to take control of the creative process. I've also been in rooms where we've done rebranding for companies. I've known a company go away and collect feedback from 30 people, and their vision slowly turned more "beige" as a result. The final product was, frankly, a bit "crap". It's like the Homer Simpson car he designed years ago—it was a million thoughts rolled into one, and it just didn't work. You've got to have one person's creative vision. That's why Steve Jobs was so good. He may have been an absolute nightmare to work with, but his vision was so strong and singular that it just worked.

Create for Yourself, Not the Algorithm: I truly believe that creating will be consuming every time you do it. I made a short video this week because I believe you should create for yourself rather than the algorithm. The more you create, the better you're going to get. There's a guy in my community who helps barbers, and he committed to a 30-day series. His content is already so much better just because he's been creating and creating. If you just create brilliant content for a long time, your audience is going to build no matter what. The algorithm will eventually pick up on you, and the real people behind it can look at all your content and find the value in it.

How to Choose Your Mentors: I think it's so important to choose your mentors with care. You can add to them or change them, but you have to think: who really resonates with me? For me, I really like Chris Do from The Future for Creative Entrepreneurship. I've also looked towards Xinjiang for negotiating, Chris Voss for Manychat automations, and Gannon Meyer for community building. I want you to try and filter your social media feed this week. If you're getting alternative advice that's pulling you in two directions, that's not a good thing. You probably can't do both of those pieces of advice in one go, so choose a path and really go for it. It's like driving a car: if you turn the wheel and you're not moving, it's not going to change your course. If you're in motion, you're going to get to a destination. I'm a better creator now because I know what to ignore, and it's also helping my mental health.
