Why Most People Never Start Creating Content (And Why You Should)

Let’s be honest. Most people want to create content but they never start. Why?

They make one critical mistake — Let's discuss this in today's note.

The Dangerous Comparison Trap

Aspirants compare their starting point with someone else’s success story. They look at creators with 2 million+ followers and feel small before making their first post.

When you are standing at square zero, looking at someone who’s been living your dream for years is intimidating.

But here’s what most people forget — even those popular creators once stood at square zero too.

Your journey will not be a straight line. Your fame, your followers, your influence — it’ll evolve. And it’ll probably change 200 times before you reach anywhere close to that number.

The Only Advice You Need: Start.

If you keep waiting for the perfect time, the perfect camera, or the perfect follower count — you’ll never move. The only difference between those with 2 million followers and you is that they started when no one was watching.

So start. Start messy. Start small. Start anyway.

Final Thought

Stop measuring your Chapter 1 against someone else’s Chapter 50.

Create for your growth. Create for your audience. And watch where it takes you.
