Seeing Sarah, David, and Mia’s stories reminded me that small, focused steps beat random bursts of motivation. I’ve already talked about the unfinished essays and short stories that have been sitting on my computer for ages. I’m going to dedicate 20 minutes daily to just one story and track my words. Thank you Idris Elijah for sharing those testimonials that help me look deeper into my own path!

I had commented in the community about wanting to learn dance steps with my daughter. I hesitated because I thought I wouldn’t pick the right style or that I would lose interest halfway. I’ve learned that focus and a clear path are what actually create progress. We’ve started with one style (salsa) for 20 minutes a day. It’s been fun and is already giving us confidence, especially me! I’ll let the community know how it goes Idris Elijah!

Reading this is a good reminder that you don’t need to know everything at once. It’s about having clear focus. I’m committing to writing one song this week, learning it fully and then tracking my progress. Even if it’s small, the momentum will start and the possibilities are endless. I can relate to David’s story! Thank you for sharing these stories today Idris Elijah!

Awesome sauce! You always have the juice to learn a song in its entirety. You are most welcome Brooke 🤓🙌🏾

I just started a new X page recently and I’ve been circling around what direction to take with it. Reading these examples reminded me that I don’t need to do everything at once. Like Sarah focusing on one tool, I’m committing to one core theme for my page and posting consistently around it. I know that small, focused steps will build the kind of momentum that actually grows an audience. I know that these ideas will work so thanks for the tips today Idris!
