Is there a better way?

Read time: 1 min 37 secs

The other day, my wife took a bite of my omelette and said, “This is bad. Your omelette has no flavor.”

I was like… “Huh. She’s right. It’s shit.”

So, I watched a couple of videos, applied what I learned, and now my omelettes are amazing. Like, “fluffy and full of flavor” amazing.

For years, we’ve been eating this bland, “meh meh” egg mush without ever questioning how it could be better. But with just a small effort to learn and tweak a few things, it’s now incomparably better.

It made me think: What else I am doing on autopilot that sucks? What else have I been doing the same way for years without questioning if there’s a better way?

I’m not looking to question all my kitchen habits, but when it comes to my creative work and business, I’m intrigued.

Here’s a thought that helped me uncover some insights:

The world moves on. Ignorance leaves you behind.

Seek feedback and stay open to new ways. Clinging to outdated beliefs will leave you behind – things are changing fast.

Example: I used to think I’d never try ads for my business. I dismissed them as a waste of time and money. But yesterday, a friend gave me feedback that inspired me to experiment with Instagram ads. Why not try to put my content in front of more people who might like it? Maybe it leads to faster business and audience growth without sacrificing anything. Next week, I’ll give it a try. I’m not saying it will work, but it’s probably worth the experiment.
