Execute in this time

Right now, we’re going through a shift in the way we communicate.
Actually, scratch that.
The way we communicate has already shifted. Most people just haven’t realized it yet.
What do I mean by that?

Our society has are now glued to their phones for more than half of their day.
We run our lives through our phones. Without it, we feel like we couldn’t survive.

Now, many people see this as a bad thing. People think too much screen time and relying on a device is crazy.
What we fail to realize is that this is reality.
Our phones, the internet and social media are the way we communicate now.
People are able to have friendships with people that have the same interests instead of being stuck to people at their school.
Celebrities are able to connect with their fans at scale.
Families are now able to facetime their family that are distant.
I could go on and on.

For the people that believe technology is bad for us, think again.
I can’t count how much opportunity has been made due to this shift in communication.

Youtube stars that would never be able to make it because that had to wait for someone to put them on are now able to create their own opportunities.

Instagram models/actors/comedians/content creators able to be themselves and make a living off of that.

Small businesses leveraging the under priced advertising platform the Internet and Social Media are offering.

I could go on and on about this as well.

And the amount of information we have on the internet is crazy.
So much so, that kids don’t even need to go to college for certain majors.
If you don’t need a certification, you don’t need to go to college.
The experience is second to none, but the cost? Is it worth it?
Especially when more and more companies don’t require a degree?

My call to action to you is simple.
Execute in this time we have now.
Put in the work so that you can do what you’d love to do for the rest of your life.

The standard way of living is out the door in my eyes.
You can be what you want to be if you go out and execute.
a model, a singer, a entrepreneur, a talk show host, etc.
There’s so much opportunity out there that you can literally be yourself and make a living.
Don’t past this up.
You owe it to yourself to at the very least try.
Understand the state of reality that we are living in.
Now, go execute.
