You don’t deserve success (yet)
|
Let’s be real for a second. If success knocked on your door tomorrow, would you even be ready? Everyone says they want to be in the top 1%. But 99% of people act the same. They consume more than they create. They talk more than they act. They want results without discomfort. The truth is: You don’t get success until you become the version of yourself that deserves success. And you don’t deserve it just because you’re talented. Or because you’ve “been at this for years.” Or because you’ve struggled. You deserve it when you become the person who earns it. The person who treats their music like a real business. Who shows up every day — even when they don't feel like it. Who thinks long-term and invests in their growth. (For example right now, I've had a crappy night, I'm getting sick - yet I still am writing this email). You want to be a full-time music creator? Then act like someone who is. ➡ Would a full-time music creator skip a week of posting because they “weren’t feeling it”? This is about discipline and identity - not motivation. When you become the version of you that: 🥗 Eats clean You start operating at a level where success becomes inevitable. But as long as you keep waiting for permission, Waiting for the “right idea,” Waiting to feel confident… Success will keep waiting for you too. So if it feels like things aren’t moving fast enough right now, It’s not because you’re not good enough or not talented enough. It’s because you haven’t levelled up your standards yet. And no one can do that for you. Ali Abdaal once said: Either change what you want, or change what you do. So now - it's your choice. But you can deserve success if you start to become that person today. In the meantime, keep learning! - Aurelie (PLV) ✨ |

Hey Reader, I’m currently sending you this email from France 🇫🇷 I took a 3-week vacation to visit my family and do some wedding planning stuff with my fiancé.

Hey Reader, Here's a quick question for you: What if you just messaged 5 people a day? Like — literally opened Instagram/TikTok and started 5 conversations. About your music. Your services.
