i have these conversations in my DMs every single day, and it's almost always one of these beliefs holding someone back. the follower one comes up more than anything else. women telling me they'll start once they hit some number, so they sit there posting and waiting instead of learning the actual skill. that number never comes, and nobody was ever going to hand them a signal that they were ready. the gifted collab one is the one that costs the most money. you do a few for free thinking it's how you build experience, and all you've really done is teach yourself and the brand that your work is free. and most of this advice comes from people who either quit early or never got paid in the first place. it gets repeated enough that it starts to sound true. swipe through and be honest about which one you've been believing. usually it's one specific thing keeping someone stuck, not all of them. save this for the next time you start second guessing yourself. if you want to learn how to actually be successful at UGC, my community UGC with Rach is launching so soon. the waitlist gets first access before anybody else. comment JOIN to get in 🤍 - @ugc.withrach
