Written on
Chapter 1: Getting Started on Medium
Are you prepared to make the most of your month on Medium? This is your chance to transform your writing journey and achieve your financial goals.
The most enjoyable preparation step is about to unfold!
“Success often finds those who are too engaged in the pursuit of it.” — Henry David Thoreau
This is the moment you've been waiting for! You’ve been gearing up for a week to make this August 2024 your best month yet on Medium. Whether you aim for $100, $500, or $1000, the preparation process remains consistent. Your objective should challenge your mindset, evoke a bit of discomfort, and stir up some excitement and apprehension about the “what ifs.”
Feeling nervous is completely natural!
When those feelings arise, take a moment to question them. Delve into why you might feel triggered or inclined to think thoughts like “but,” “I am not,” or “I lack….” Every obstacle we face often pushes us out of our comfort zones, encouraging us to step into the uncertain territory where success awaits if we persevere.
“All your success is in the cave that you fear to enter because success is simply on the other side of your fears and doubts.” — Emy Knazovic
So, how do we confront these feelings of doubt and the limiting beliefs that may hinder our path to achieving our goals?
Before diving into this fifth preparatory step, ensure you’ve gone through steps one to four!
Let’s kick off today’s lesson!
Prep Step #5
This stage is a bit intricate, but I’m here to simplify it for you so you can look forward to the upcoming days.
5.a: Reframe Your Thoughts Whenever you sense doubt or fear, counter those thoughts with, “It’s all good; I’m just incredibly excited.” Excitement and fear can manifest similarly in our bodies. Think of a roller coaster ride; you might feel a tinge of fear (“What if I fall?”) but also a rush of excitement (“This is going to be thrilling!”).
Reprogram your mind with, “I am just excited!” The more you focus on your excitement, the better decisions you’ll make, leading to higher quality content creation.
5.b: Write Your Future Grab a pen and paper, jot down the date, August 31st, and start painting a vivid picture of your life on that day. Here are some prompts to get you started: - “I’m filled with joy and gratitude now that I have…” - “I’ve written every day, producing X number of articles, and I feel…” - “I’m thankful for…” - “I can’t wait to share my journey with…” - “I’m thrilled I can invest this income into…” - “I can envision myself being more….”
The more details you include, the more impactful it will be!
5.c: Nightly Visualization Before you drift off to sleep, instead of ruminating on your stresses or frustrations, take a moment to relax. Pray, express gratitude for five things, and visualize your success on August 31st. Use the details you wrote down to enrich this experience.
Feel, taste, touch, and smell your success as you prepare for sleep, allowing these thoughts to settle in your subconscious.
5.d: Set Your Intentions You’ve established your income goal, prepared your themes and tags, and committed to your mindset. Now, it’s time to shift your focus to your daily actions. Each day, write or vocalize: - Just for today, I’m doing… - Just for today, I’m believing… - Just for today, I’m feeling… - Just for today, I’m creating….
Ensure these statements are positive, and embrace the belief that you can achieve your goals.
Remember, success often hinges more on internal development than external efforts!
