Yo – Janis here!

The ‘lucky’ label excuse

We forget that creators we admire started with 0 posts, 0 views, and 0 followers. I sure did and labeled them as “lucky.”

But when I dig deeper and check out their path to today, I realize everyone puts in the hours, fails, iterates, and persists.

Sure, some might be luckier or better positioned than others. But that’s a small part of the game.

Forget about everything, start today, and believe you’ll figure it out along the way.

How to raise your prices?

Close your eyes, spit out an uncomfortable number, and over time it will grow on you.

Most people undervalue themselves, and this is a way how to deal with it.

My friend Alex calls this the imposter syndrome tax.
