Bumping up against your limits

For the first time in nearly 5 years of online business... I'm running into an interesting problem.

One that many guys, especially the ones I work with, run into eventually.

But I'll admit; it's caught me a little by surprise.

Because for the past several years, I've been a "one man show."

Everything I've ever done in the online space has been me pulling the lever and putting it out there.

And I like that.

Yet I'm just one guy.

And recently, as I juggle between helping my clients, developing the application we've been building, building out the content for that app too, writing emails, writing for Twitter, and as of a few months ago cranking out video content for TikTok and Instagram too...

Combined with a dedicated 5-days-a-week gym routine, 8 hours of shut-eye every night so I can perform at my best, my men's group, and being in a devoted relationship...

While these are all things I'm super grateful for, the truth is I'm stretched a little thin.

I'm bumping up against a bottleneck:

Me.

And so I've realized I need to hire help.

I'll be putting out a publication seeking my first employee this weekend, which is an exciting step in this chapter that's unfolding... (and as a side note, if you or anyone you know could be qualified for a role that includes video editing, social media management, research, etc... please do drop a reply.)

Truly, I think a lot of guys experience this in one form or another.

Take my client, J, for example.

Father of 4. CEO of a rather significant company, let's say. Active in his church. Going to the gym. He's a busy man...

And while quitting porn has always appeared on his list of "things that need to happen" because he's known it's against his faith, corrosive to his marriage, makes him feel like shit, etc...

Reality is, it was harder than he thought.

And he didn't have the time, energy, or desire to put tons of effort into figuring it out.

He's already been juggling too much.

Which is part of why he hired me.

To take the guess-work out, gain a proven process + personalized guidance to hold him to it, and make it as easy as possible to quit without dedicating a massive chunk of his personal bandwidth towards it.

And it's safe to say that's going well.

Because every time we meet he's blown away, talking about how easy it's been and how he doesn't even have urges and can't believe it.

Anyways, point is...

We only have so much to give.

And if we don't have the bandwidth to figure it out the hard way, on our own... sometimes we need to hire someone who can help us fill in the gaps.

Would've been good if I realized it sooner.

But hey, it's all part of the process.

Signing out & see you tomorrow.
