My failures as a "Creator"

My failures as a "Creator"

These days anyone who writes and shares something on the internet is entitled to use the word “Creators”, just in case anyone doesn't know this.

Of course, it is not only limited to writing, speaking with a mic ON, being in front of the camera doing anything and sometimes even just staring at the camera for hours, all of that counts.

By this definition, if you've written something somewhere on any social media you can also call yourself a Creator and so with the same logic I'm also a creator.

The point is not about who is a Creator and who is not. It is really about what is that these Creators are creating.

Let me talk about myself. In the last several months I did many experiments and I think I failed at most of them.

Here are my 6 failures as a Creator (in no particular order):

  1. Not being consistent with writing on LinkedIn despite knowing all the benefits
  2. Not sustaining after scaling to 4000+ followers on a short video platform
  3. Not being able to follow through on my podcast plan I kick-started once
  4. Not sticking to one platform to write newsletters but dabbled across
  5. Not launching that unique community that I was trying to build
  6. Not launching my website to put together everything I do

“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”??—?Winston Churchill

If I can see through my failures from the lens of the above statement, perhaps there is some success.

In spite of this never-ending list of failures, somehow something inside me doesn't let me quit sharing my thoughts completely, I don't know why.

Can I consider my enthusiasm to keep trying as a success? Maybe. Maybe not.

I will end this edition here because it was only meant to share my failures as a Creator hoping that it can help others like me or who don't want to be like me ??

Let me know in the comments or in DM if you've to add something to my thoughts.

I believe sometimes it's not failure, sometimes it's a pivot. That is also important.
