"Being mysterious" is holding you back
Hate to see it.
“what’s abiola’s archive?” it’s the catchall name for everything on this substack newsletter. all the things I do and think about now live here.
We all want it to be effortless.
When it comes to putting ourselves and our work out there, we all want things to be effortless. I get it, we don't want to be seen trying "too hard" before we "make it". But the truth is, even your most "mysterious" faves spent a portion of their careers putting themselves out there. In our online world, mystery is a privilege that is earned after you show up, continuously — a lesson learned from what I call the "OG content creators" — celebrities.
I can not stress enough how important & insightful this series is, especially this episode. As an aspiring creator; this has opened my eyes a lot and has raised so many questions as to how I want to start showing up online + beginning with the end in mind. Thank you Abiola!
