What I had were moments where I could feel when the lack of structure was starting to drain me. I’ve always stayed creative. That was never the issue.

One of the clearest warnings in How to Build Your Dream is this: Growth without structure doesn’t stay growth, it becomes strain.

I didn’t always realize I was doing the same things over and over again. But I did realize this: every time I went through something again, I got through it faster. Cleaner. With a little more awareness than before. Every time I sat still and tried to think my way into clarity, nothing changed. No direction. No confirmation. No progress. Just more thoughts. momentum came from having the right idea.

I learned this the same way I’ve learned most things, by moving. Every time I sat still and tried to think my way into clarity, nothing changed. No direction. No confirmation. No progress. Just more thoughts. momentum came from having the right idea.

This lesson comes straight out of the hardest seasons of building. There was a time when I thought momentum came from having the right idea.

This lesson was born out of the festival. When it was over, I found myself in a place I know too well, behind, stretched thin, and below where I believed I should be. And this wasn’t the first time. It’s happened after several of my shows.

Failure is not final it’s feedback. Today’s Big Dreamers Digest breaks down the before, during, and after of failure and how to use each phase as a stepping stone. Includes a Brand Man Tip and free tee giveaway.
