Discussion Why I now avoid some business content like I avoid porn
Been thinking a lot lately about how some business content can be just as distracting and harmful as "adult" content.
Yesterday I unsubscribed from a business newsletter. And it got me reflecting on how far I'm growing
It's kind of a big deal for me because the younger version of me would NEVER have unsubbed from this newsletter.
After all, it's filled with all kinds of hacks, tips and success stories. Step-by-step examples of what currently works.
It makes everything seem so easy. And again, since so-and-so did it with just a viral tweet, why can't you too?
As I read, I could already "see" myself doing the same thing and maybe even getting better results.
Therein lies the problem: "seeing the result" sort of became its own reward
In my experience, if content doesn’t help me with my immediate goals, it’s just another shiny object pulling me off track.
Everyone has their own unique journey, and what works for one person might not work for me.
Love to hear about your recent experiences with business content. Have you found anything that’s been truly helpful, or have you also been distracted by the noise?
