| I know I'm not alone in having insecurities.
I think mine started back in junior high. Those were extremely rough years for me. I had had my friends in elementary school, but when a bunch of elementary schools sent all their students to the junior high in sixth grade, I had to start fresh with a huge new batch of kids.
It didn't go well.
I was one of the nerdy kids, and man did they let me know it.
I became skeptical of my ability to make friends, and even when I did, I wasn't sure I really believed them. Did they really want me to join them for lunch, or did they just not know what else to say to me?
This kind of insecurity has haunted me for so many years and indeed so close to the present moment that I would be embarrassed to discuss it further.
It's critical to get a handle on this kind of insecurity, because it's going to distract you from what Ben Settle calls your Mission.
Only you can know and formulate your Mission. Your Mission is that thing that drives you, that place you want to be, that goal toward which your every action is striving.
Anything, particularly something irrational like this, that distracts you from your Mission must be rooted out without mercy.
I as much as anyone need to take this advice.
But perhaps you do as well.
You're on my list, so I know you have an interest in starting an online business of some sort, even if it's just a website that earns you affiliate commissions.
What's holding you back from fulfilling your Mission? Is it something irrational?
Is it a lack of confidence in yourself?
Is it a fear of opening a new chapter in your life?
Is it a fear of the unknown?
At some point you have to reassert your personal sovereignty. Who's in charge here, you or your insecurities?
If after listening to my podcast or my YouTube videos or my online courses you find me to be an effective teacher when it comes to libertarianism, you might also find me effective as a teacher in this area as well.
I've just released a bundle of my various trainings -- including my pleasant talk to a conference of marketers on how I beat the hell out of them in sales contests even though their audiences are much bigger than mine.
A bunch of marketers who weren't there have bought this bundle themselves, because the curiosity is genuinely killing them: how does a small fry like me beat the stuffings out of them?
It's worth ten times what I'm offering it for, easily.
I'm taking it off the market tomorrow, so you know what to do:
