No more fucking around said no one ever…

INTRODUCTION

So it begins. This journey I have been laying the foundation of. An idea to put thought to action. A way to vent, a way to create, a way to inspire.

Welcome to #TheHonestyProject

Let me first get two things straight. This will eventually become a community. A place where people like you and I can come and raise a topic, a topic that I will gladly speak the honest truth about. A place where you will be judged but not forgotten. A place where you will never feel alone and a place you can enjoy with a smile on your dial.

So number one incase you missed it…

  1. This is a community

Number two goes something like this. I have always said how it is. Now for some of you that know me, remember me from the Bachelorette in two personalities. 50% off viewers thought I was a dick who was arrogant, temperamental, an outright douche. The other 50% (who are my favourites by the way), understood that this is a fucking reality tv show where editing has a big part, PLUS you further understood that everything I was saying was what 100% of people were thinking. I just had the balls to say it how it is, to be fucking honest. Everyone who was on the show with me will back me when I say that I had everyones back and best interest at heart. It is how i am as a person, until you cross me, my family or my friends. Then its good luck getting back into the good books, then again I hardly hold grudges and it feels soo much better to take responsibility for my own actions and learn to forgive.

So number two just incase you missed it…

2. This is about me saying it how it is and being honest about life, because I have your back and have your best interests at heart

Now to the title of this blog, post, writing piece, chapter, fuck I don’t know what to call it. The title is todays topic. “No more fucking around said no one ever…”

I am fucking scared of starting something sometimes, especially when I know the outcome of something that I know I can succeed in. It is a shit way of living. I will be in bed at night, thats when I get motivated the most, thinking about how I will dominate tomorrow. How I will make all the calls needed to grow my business, to grow my personal brand, to grow myself… I say to myself, “NO MORE FUCKING AROUND BLAKE, STOP BEING A LIL BITCH! YOU GOT THIS!”

Now you may through this, it may be when you wake up, when you are in the shower, when you are on the toilet doing shit eating a bowl of cereal, on the way to work, on the way to the gym, etc etc etc.

It fucking sucks because something hits me, when I am hot and firing, I am unstoppable. I remember a few years ago, 5 to be exact. I was running a nutrition business, messaging and calling 50 people a day, “HUSTLING”, fired up to get this business growing and reach success.

5 years forward, I have lost that fire and power to quote unquote HUSTLE. And I’ll tell you why. Going on TV the first time, fucked me up, literally. The show itself was amazing, hence why I went on the following TV Show Bachelor in Paradise, however I made the mistake of expecting my life to fucking change just because I was on the tele. I then had to adapt to the new surroundings, I figured out that the current things I was involved with were not making me happy. I went into a different direction, I started my Vlog on YouTube which I kinda called it “B ROLL”, I focused on building a media marketing company, I started working at an indoor wave pool because surfing was my happy place. However, now that I am solely focussed on my media company Blaik Media, I have not been able to pick up the phone and make a call to a new business, I have not sent the amount of emails I used to send 5 years ago, I have plainly not done the work!

So now you are thinking, fuck Blake why are you telling me this. I am telling you this because now its time to STOP FUCKING AROUND. This is why I am writing this piece, why I have officially started #TheHonestyProject on a platform where I can vent and talk more than what I have been doing on my instagram account @blakecolman

This is the beginning of my creativity, I kinda want to say my purpose. I want to die and my grandkids kids kids kids kids kids kids kids kids kids kids kids kids kids kids kids kids remember me through what I created here today. You should think like that as well, whats your fucking legacy going to be. Just some ashes in the ocean, some bones 6feet under or a library with your name in neon gold diamond platinum print that shines light on whoever reads, views or listens to your creativity.

So yeah I am scared about taking this step, but it sure as fuck better twiddling my thumbs scrolling through Instagram all fucking night and day.

So to recap:

  1. Stop Fucking Around
  2. Learn to adapt your life to suit what makes you happy
  3. Take a deep breathe and leap into the future through creativity
  4. Don’t focus on whats ahead, focus on creating today
  5. Tell anyone who brings you down to fuck off
  6. Learn to say it how it is
  7. Just start your idea
