### [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO4qcpHI1Sw) The biggest mistake creatives make

again this monster rears its ugly head should I KNE shouldn't I aren't there more examples of Super Hyper successful people who aren't locked into a niche that are doing really well and why are you Chris telling us we need to Niche down let's take for example post Malone he's had a really interesting career Arc and who knows where he's going to go next he first started out with rock which I didn't even know about and then he went into hip hop and now he's doing country and he's dominating in every category this man this creative human being has such versatility a breath of work and styles that we kind of admire it and we see it for like this ability to blend so many different things the mistake that you would make is you're not post Malone you're not the weekend you're not 21 Pilots you can't be jumping genres and mixing things up and if you are you won't be watching this channel cuz you're already rich and famous you have all the options in the world that was just a joke by the way the mistake that most people make is they copy someone's ending versus their beginning just let that sink in there's a long period of time when post Malone or weekend are doing their thing before anyone even hears about them they could be in a basement working on some music playing or DJing for a wedding or a birthday party we don't know so they put in all this time and they start to refine their craft we only become aware of them when they become famous and depending on where you are on the adoption scale it could be you're a lagger you only find out after the fact that everybody's on it on your last to do it like Facebook oh my God Facebook's so hot you know 20 years later that's the person you are so the mistake would be to copy someone's ending when you're not studying their beginning because you're at the beginning so Jim ronen said this success does leave Clues then fortunate thing is we just want what they have right now so if you take me for example you're like oh yeah Chris is going to uh not work for clients he's going to speak about a broad number of subjects and he's got two buildings and he has a team of people working for him why don't you try and copy that what's the problem there you don't have the resources experience you haven't read the books you haven't done the work with the clients that I'm going to be able to draw on you haven't been coached you haven't seen a therapist you haven't done all the work and you you're going to go out to buy what buildings now with what money with what resources so you can't compete on that level not yet unless you are financially independent or you're well financed you don't do that and the reason why you're not getting that money right now is because you have't on it cuz no one's going to bet on you right now so you start guess where you start at the start you take that first step and you start to figure out who you are what your voice is in the world and you start to put in the intentional practice to be good at something and eventually get so good at it becomes so second nature to you that it seems boring and you need a new challenge that's when you start to incorporate different genres different styles different expressions of your creativity maybe you're working in TV

now you work in film maybe you're working in Broadway and now you're working on pop albums we don't know and you can do that once you achieve some level of Mastery and you compound the

skill sets versus being very thin in terms of your depth of knowledge there's an expression you don't want to go a mile wide and an inch deep you want to go an inch wide and a mile deep then what happens is you have this thing called the tea scale what's fascinating is I've discovered this recently is you can have a tea but if you add another column of expertise that's called the pi scale like the math symbol pi and you can do the multiple columns one where I don't know what you call that the called the paron where you have a bunch of columns and you have a roof that's super interesting but that takes a long time to achieve let me translate this into how it might live on a social feed I don't know about you when I follow someone it's because they've given me something that I think I need to pay attention to I want to be able to reference later and then every once a while in my feet I see this random weird thing right and I have friends who do this and I'm about that far away from unfollowing them because I'm like what the hell is this and I'm like who is this person I look them up like oh yeah they promised me this and now they're giving me that I don't want any of that I just want this you want more of the same the people who have grown really fast on social media have figured out a format who consistently show up and do the same thing again and again this seems illogical to me to find success at something and then not to do it anymore it doesn't make any sense and very few people get away with the I'm going to post and talk about lots of different things because of who they are how they built up their fan Bas and how they consistently continue to grow and you have to run this risk and if you're willing to take the risk go for it which is you'll gain new followers but you'll lose a lot of followers too and if that doesn't matter to you do whatever the heck you want and God bless you be happy and that's all social media can be for you and that's totally fine but I'm telling you right now if I followed you for tips on cooking and you start showing me gardening I may not like that if you show me things on gardening and you start to do fashion I'm like I want to follow people who are very good at something because they're going to show me the very best so when your feed gets kind of junked up with other things that don't belong Chances Are People AR going to follow you and you can see this played out in many different ways okay when you go to a restaurant you want the restaurant that makes something really well not a lot of things mediocre well okay when you go to a department store you want to know it's selling me clothes at a certain price point not Ultra highend Premium luxxury goods and also discount Goods it doesn't work that way and if you go to the store to buy a magazine most magazines if you still read magazines focus on one very specific topic and they go as deep as possible because they want to be the def facto standard in their space not just one of many
