What Happens When You Stop Chasing, and Start Creating

Learn how to shift from chasing attention to building offers, content, and solutions that actually help people—and why that’s the key to growth.

Early in my journey, I was doing all the “right” things.

Posting on social.
Following the growth hacks.
Launching offers.

But something felt… hollow.

I was busy.
But not fulfilled.
I was “marketing”—but I wasn’t making much meaning (or money).

Then I asked myself one simple question:

“Am I actually helping anyone right now?”

Not convincing.
Not trying to sell.
Actually helping.

And that changed everything.

Because business isn’t about how much you do.
It’s about how much value you provide.

And when you focus on building something that genuinely helps people—the sales, the brand, the growth?

That stuff is a HELLUVA lot easier.

If you try to sell sh*t wrapped in bacon it’s not going to go well when they take the first bite of your product lol.

Probably not the best visual but you get the point.

No matter how much marketing you do, you will only trick so many people before you get a bad rep for selling trash.

Instead focus on providing insane value.

More than others charge more for.

When you stop chasing clout or money, and start creating value, everything changes.

⚡️ One-Minute Mindset Shift

Value First, Everything Else Second

Success doesn’t start with a sales strategy.
It starts with solving a problem.

Ask yourself:

  • “What pain am I removing for someone?”

  • “What result do I help people get?”

  • “Would I pay for what I’m offering?”

If the answer is yes—you’re on the right path.
If not? That’s where to start.

🛠️ Daily Hustl Hack

The 3 Step Value Filter

Use this to pressure-test every product, post, or pitch you create:

  1. Useful:
    Does this solve a problem, answer a question, or save someone time?

  2. Clear:
    Is the value obvious in the first 5 seconds?

  3. Relevant:
    Does this speak to the exact person I want to help?

If you hit all three?
You’re not just marketing—you’re making meaningful impact.
