2021 New Year's Resolutions For Growing Content Creators
My Dearest Self, 2020 was wrought with obstacles that started well before the pandemic. At the beginning of this year, you were officially getting paid to make content. While your friends hailed you for living the dream, you found yourself grasping at straws and praying that hard work, grit, and a tiny bit of talent might be enough to carry you through—that by the end of the year you would still be a freelance writer and not stuffed away at some corporate job because you failed.

Keep Going Through
When you risk it and it works, you keep going through. Don’t achieve and stop, there’s more to lose. The more success, the more difficult the problems will be. Be prepared. Prepare now for your success while you don’t have it so you don’t lose it when you get it. You’ll have a plan. Write them down, all the time. Add to them as you please, but focus on the top two before moving further. Numbers 1 & 2 are what drives you the most.

Why Not Becoming a Rock Star Saved My Career
When I wore a younger man's clothes, the term success had so much meaning and connotation -- at the time, it meant being a highly paid, regularly applauded and selling lots of CDs as a professional rock star. Success was being a successful rock star, lauded and adored -- critically acclaimed. All the hard work and practice, lugging in equipment, playing dirtball bars and clubs -- well, that was just part of the ladder climb. But, I was also realistic and made certain plan B existed in the unlikely event I didn't become the next Bon Jovi.

The Secret Sauce of Success
The Secret Sauce of Success By Rodger Roeser, CEO, The Eisen Agency Let’s be honest, business can be tough. There are days even the most motivated and self driven feel like self driving right off the proverbial cliff. If you’re a small business owner or entrepreneur, it’s a must do daily in business because without it you don’t eat. And if you’re the one in charge of it, it can and likely does at least sometimes strike fear into your very soul. It is the lifeblood of any business, yet so often it is left to chance, happenstance and luck, and it is one of the top reasons most businesses go out of business and cannot sustain profitability.

An Ode to Amelioration
Siena, Regardless of the date or the number or the ever-seeming monotony of the last year, YOU are powerful. It is easy to get lost in the everyday jumble of self-doubt, thoughtless creation, and uncertainty that has become common place in everyone's lives, but you have managed to continue to grow (it may seem with ease from the outside, but I know the courage it took to climb the mountains that you did).

Slow and steady
While It's a little late for a year in review, I figured better late than never. This year was difficult, to say the least. People dear to our hearts have passed, ugly truths were revealed. It was a time of uncertainty. Economy plummeting and civil unrest. But with this time spent. (hopefully inside) I saw change not only in myself but people too, it brought a smile to my face knowing that people were stopping to take it all in. To appreciate what life is. People know more than ever were going out of their way to reach people. Family members that might not have spoken in some time, old friends that had gotten lost on the path of life. It really shed light on human nature the need to be or feel connected. So in this time of connection why was I struggling? The answer is very simple. The situation I was thrust into. At the beginning of the pandemic. I was still in my senior year of high school. Unsure of how the rest of the year was going to proceed. One minute I'm telling my friends how excited I am about the long weekend. Next, I'm glued to a computer screen submitting assignments. From this point until mid-august It all felt like a weird limbo. Nothing but everything was happening all at once. Meanwhile, I'm stuck in my room trying to take my mind off of everything coming up. The truth is I had always been worried about college and knowing that in less than a month it was coming was nerve-racking. So many things were on the line my pride my family's pride but with these sweltering expectations set by no one but myself. I was tacking on unnecessary stress. Inevitably with that stress came burnout. It made me question everything about myself. Was I smart enough to handle this major? Did I really want to be a pharmacist or was this something my parents wanted? I began to let it all slip I was falling behind and I began to feel hopeless I stopped believing in myself. Some days it was a chore to get out of bed and open the laptop. Seeing the amount of work that had to be done and the Emails on top of the exams that never stopped coming. It was too much. I tried to fight back with study groups and after-hours help but the damage had been done. I was neck-deep and failed two classes. While it hurt that I did not do so well, it gave me some much-needed time to evaluate myself. Why was I so hard on myself? This was something entirely new to me and adding on that pressure wasn't helping. With that reflection It made me realize nobody is asking me to get this right away if it was that easy everyone would be doing it. So take it easy one step at a time.
