In the context of SN, failure would mean an inability to garner even 1 sat. I know it’s hard to believe, given how established I am, but I have my fair share of stinkers.
My most recent zero-warrior was written just this month.
In the past, when I equated the success of my writing to the amount of zaps I gathered from it, I might have tied my self-identity a bit too tightly to my article. My soul would quiver, and I would think that my writing is inadequate in one way or another.
Luckily for me, I gradually shifted from a Money to Meaning mindset. This helped me dissociate myself from the searing sting of rejection. I fervently believe that once released into the Universe, my words have value and reap me dividends, even if they don’t bring in 💰.
The rewards could come in the form of:
- increased clarity about my thoughts and feelings
- enhanced self-confidence wrt making myself vulnerable
- consolidation of my brand identity via my personal blog
A zero-zap post also gives me feedback that it is not the preferred reading material of Stackers. At this juncture, I will be faced with a juicy conundrum - do I refrain from writing about this topic because I know it won’t appeal to SN readers, or do I still continue to write in order to honour my ideas and be authentic? It’s a meaty issue to chew on!
