"It's so important to me to not be trying to get people to buy my stuff, since it's bad to market your own stuff. It's fake—cheating. So I can't really do any marketing at all. I don't even want to! I just want to wait & get lucky, even if that means not making much money rn."

(this is an index card (for integration) from my coherence coaching session last night where I was trying to figure out why I'm blocked on marketing. feels fun to own it and tweet it!)

had some open tabs pointing me at marketingy stuff that I was sort of holding open but feeling averse to so then I was like: ok, the thing to do is re-read the index card! (if you're curious: twas mostly this tweet 👇 and links to @martinstellar's stuff) twitter.com/s_r_constantin…

@martinstellar Hmm... the first half feels either not relevant or convolutedly relevant. 2nd half feels quite relevant. Marketing feels like work, bleh. What if I just wait long enough?

@martinstellar maybe the items from this other coaching session are also relevant? hm. I feel like I've worked through them somewhat

reasons (learned via coherence work today) why my system prefers feeling powerless in relation to figuring out good marketing for complice.co:  💪 "I don't want to be controlling people"  🤑 "then I'd have to decide how wealthy I want to be"  💁‍♀️ more demand on my time

as I go through this I notice some appetite arising to do some sort of something in response to @s_r_constantin's tweet or something! ➡️ what do not enough ppl know about Complice? ⬅️ a twitter thread or youtube video? both of those feel like something I could maybe whip up

I made a thread! it was pretty fun tbh writing in lowercase made it feel way less like I was trying to Do Marketing (thx @QiaochuYuan & @ungatedcreative!)

> what's (legitimately) good about Complice that not enough people know? (from @s_r_constantin) complice.co is the intentionality app I built and have been iterating on for years. it helps people take small steps towards big goals thread of facts about complice!
