[DAY 7] Unlocking your block is only half the battle challenge post
Post your challenge responses here.
Every author joins us with something holding them back, whether that’s a mindset block, a marketing problem, a confidence issue, or a missing skill.
That’s your lock. But everyone also shows up with keys from things they’ve already solved, overcome, or mastered.
You might not have the key for your own lock, but you absolutely have one that can open someone else’s. And in doing so, you often find the clarity to open your own. The real magic happens when we use our keys and start unlocking each other’s locks.
Why is community strategically important, instead of just feel good vibes? Because if you’re in stages 1-3, then you’re lock will probably be opened by somebody in the same success path but further along on their journey. If you’re in stages 4-5, then your lock will probably be opened by somebody in a different ecosystem doing something completely different than you.
You are one human, going through one lived experience, consuming one person’s media, with one person’s brain. You’re gonna miss things, discount important things you don’t understand, and have questions that make perfect sense to somebody else.
Sure, you could study things and maybe figure it out, or you could ask a group of people trained on the same methodologies as you, who know what to look for, and they can give you the right answer in a few minutes.
You’re not stuck because this business is “hard.” You’re stuck because you’re solving the wrong problem, or solving the right problem with the wrong strategy, or solving the right problem at the wrong time.
You’re stuck because you’re trying to do it alone.
The path forward isn’t about working harder. It’s about working in alignment with your strengths, your season, your actual bottleneck, and the ecosystem where your particular gifts thrive.
That’s what easeful means.
And yes, it still takes effort, but it’s effort that compounds into momentum instead of friction that grinds you down, which is why I created Hapitalist.
Today’s task: Set a 30-day challenge that aligns with your frictionless path. It could be:
Publishing a weekly post if you’re a thought leader
Pitching a collab if you’re a partnership builder
Pruning your schedule if you’re in Stage 3
Going live weekly if you’re in a growth era
Once you’re done, post it below. Then, post it on your social media #fgchallenge
