You Can't Control Everything

A few years ago, I was the kind of person who wanted to control everything.

Even now, I still have those moments…

When something goes wrong, whether it’s:

• Writing a hook

• Missing a deadline

• Missing reps at the gym

• Eating less than I wanted

• Losing focus during deep work

These small failures used to get to me.

Waiting for someone to respond exactly how you want them to.

Hoping a potential client replies with a yes, or expecting someone to buy your service on the spot. I’ve been there.

But here’s the truth:

You’re not a GOD.

Sure, having a plan and a strategy helps things go smoothly, but you can only control so much. Control what’s in your power, not what isn’t—like other people’s actions or the weather.

Just the other day, I saw someone super disappointed they couldn’t go to a football match because it rained.

• You can’t change that.

• You’re human.

  Accept the situation and do something else instead of crying like a baby.

It’s tough when you’ve had great communication with a potential client, everything seemed to be going well, and suddenly…

They canceled. It hurts. I get it.

But here’s the thing:

You can’t force anyone to do what you want.

Whether it’s a job offer, a client, or even a date canceled last minute. It happens.

All you can do is accept it. It might be hard at first, but with time, you’ll let go of trying to change things outside your control.

Focus on what you can do instead.

Now I want to talk about WRITING.

Let’s Talk About Writing

I recently read a Dan Koe article about writing, and something stood out:

"60% of future jobs haven’t been created yet, but you can bet they’ll be online. Writing will be the main way to attract people to pay for whatever that job is."

Writing takes time. It’s not just slapping words onto a screen and calling yourself a writer. It takes practice.

Here’s how you can get better at writing:

1. Learn from books, courses, or YouTube.

2. Journal about the essence of what you’ve learned.

3. Practice on Google Docs or paper, even if you’re overwhelmed as a beginner. (personally, I use Beehiiv and Hemingway)

Yes, it’s challenging, but the more you write, the better you get.

And remember, a writer is a writer, no matter if you write one line or a hundred.

There are 3 types of writing:

1. Short-form (tweets, Instagram posts, TikToks)

2. Medium-Form (threads, Instagram captions, LinkedIn posts)

3. Long-form (newsletters, articles, podcasts)

I recommend learning to write all three.

Pick one platform to start posting on—like X (formerly Twitter) or LinkedIn. You don’t need to be everywhere at once.

And post something.

Anything.

A little highlight about me

When I started, I was all over the place—X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and newsletters every Saturday.

It was too much. After five months, I realized I needed to focus on one single thing at a time.

Now, I’m sticking with X and newsletters until I hit 10k followers on X. ( my journey)

You can do that by yourself, I’ll show you some tips:

Getting Started on X

1. Create an account.

2. Build your profile. Choose a niche and highlight the skills you offer.

3. Use Canva to make a creative banner.

4. Write a bio that’s clear about who you are and what you do, with a call-to-action like "Send me a DM."

5. Post 2-3 times a day using X’s scheduling tool.

6. Don’t worry about feedback at first.

7. Engage with others. Follow people, ask questions, and be creative in replies—don’t just say “Nice” or “Cool.”

Start simple, and stay consistent. Everything else will follow.

Conclusion: Let Go, Take Action

Focus on what you can control.

Whether it’s writing, working out, or growing an audience—do what you can today. Stop stressing about things outside your reach.

Just start.
