If you understand your core mission, then nothing can stop you.

First, you need to lay out your vision of the future.

What is it that you're trying to accomplish?

What kind of life do you want to lead?

What is it that you're working towards?

When you have these things in order, you can make anything happen.

Identify the core reason for *why* you're doing something and then work hard to make the *how* a reality.

For example, building a brand entails building audience and readership.

If you're able to build an engaged following, then monetization will come later.

Obviously you need money to live, so creating a brand for yourself means that you need to monetize one day.

The problem for most people is that they are *too concerned* with how to monetized and *not concerned enough* with how to build an audience in the first place.

The core reason needs to be: build an audience.

The monetization part will come later.

Similar fundamentals can be applied to any field! Not just building brand but anything!
