Insecurity is a nasty emotion.
I remember feeling it almost every day during the first 7 or so years of attempting to make some kind of business work.
On a day-to-day basis, progress seems incredibly slow, so it's not surprising you have self-doubt.
If you feel like nothing is working it's hard to believe you're doing the right thing. That's when insecurity can rule your world.
I eventually found an antidote to my insecurity, composed of two things:
- A clear plan, a strategy and direction to focus on to build my business
- Studying others who had already done what I wanted to do
I needed a map to follow, and I needed inspiration from other people to keep me motivated.
Both ingredients are necessary. If you don't have a direction to follow, each day can feel very random and unfocused. If you don't have inspiring examples, your emotional state can easily turn to despair.
This is why I began a daily practice, which I still continue to this day:
- Educate myself on specifically what I am working towards currently
- Listen to inspiring people who are doing things I care about and want to do
I'm confident this formula will work for you too. In fact, I am certain it will, since every successful person I have come across does these two things.
Let These People Prove To You It Works
A few years ago I began interviewing people I called my 'graduates'.
These are people who went through [Blog Mastermind]( and went on to build amazing businesses.
Rather than just grab short sound-bites from these people saying nice things about me, I wanted to do full-blown case studies where they explain what exactly they did to grow a profitable business.
More recently I also put together two video interviews, visiting Mitch Wilson in Hawaii, and Janea Dahl in Portland.
I suggest, if you are looking for motivation and insight into what worked for other people, listen to these...

I share these with you because these people prove that you can build a business online in all kinds of different subject areas.
Their stories are also educational because they explain the process they worked through, and they are inspirational, demonstrating that these are normal people just like you.
Blog Mastermind Closes In Just A Few Days
I also share these stories because they are the best way I can prove to you that [Blog Mastermind]( works.
Every single person I feature here has been through my training program.
I can't take too much credit for their success since they did the hard work, but I can say that my program played a part in providing that initial roadmap for their early days.
Today, I'd like to offer the same to you.
[Blog Mastermind 2.0](, the latest updated version of my flagship course, is closing on October 1st, at 12 midnight Pacific US time.

I'd love to help you follow in the footsteps of all these amazing people. All you need is the roadmap, ongoing inspiration and mentoring -- and this is what [Blog Mastermind 2.0]( provides.
I'll see you on the inside,
Yaro
