Hey Reader,

Lately, I’ve been hearing a version of the same question over and over again:

“Am I doing the right things?”

Usually, it’s followed by something like, “I’ve been showing up. I’m posting. I’m emailing. I’m making offers… but it feels like nothing’s working.”

I get it. I’ve been there too. You’re doing “all the things. Or at least the ones you were told matter. But you’re not seeing the results you expected.

Here’s what I usually say back:

First, you might be doing the right things… but not for long enough.

I know, I know...Jeff talking about patience...of course. But hear me out. A lot of success in this space comes from doing the boring, consistent things over and over again, until the results finally catch up. It’s not sexy, but it’s true.

Second, you might be doing the right things… but without a clear strategy.

Are you clear on what you’re actually trying to build? Who you’re building it for? And what the next step is that you want people to take? If not, it’s easy to feel like you’re spinning your wheels.

And finally, you might be doing too many things, and need to simplify.

More effort doesn’t always equal more results. Sometimes it just leads to burnout and confusion (for you and your audience).

If this question has been bouncing around your head too, I want you to pause and reflect.

Ask yourself:

• What’s actually working (even if only a little)?
• What feels aligned?
• What feels forced?
• Where am I being consistent?
• Where am I just checking boxes?

I've said this so many time, but I will continue to say it again and again...

This takes longer than you think, and longer than you'd like it to.

But the truth is, you're probably closer than you think. You might just need to reset, regain clarity, double-check your strategy, and give yourself a little more time.

You've got this.
