Struggling in 2025? You’re Probably Not Failing Enough.
You’re not stuck because you’re bad—you’re stuck because you’re too careful.
Imagine this:
A young artist spends years painting masterpiece after masterpiece.
But instead of sharing them with the world, she hides them in her attic.
Fear of rejection. Fear of judgment. Fear of… failing.
No one sees her work. No one connects with her creativity. No one knows what she’s capable of.
Why?
Because she never took the risk to show up.
Now, swap out the artist for yourself.
It’s not paintings in your attic—it’s the posts you never published. The ideas left unsaid.
The message you’re too afraid to share.
The Harsh Reality: Silence Guarantees Failure
Every creator dreams of being recognized, building an audience, and making an impact.
But here’s the brutal truth:
You can’t win a game you’re not playing.
I’ve written over 900+ posts on Threads that went unnoticed.
Single comment. 1 like. No validation.
But I didn’t stop.
Because I knew if I kept going, growth will still happen.
And it did.
Now? I have 3,000+ followers—not because I’m some genius content strategist but because I kept posting when it felt pointless.
The reward wasn’t just in the numbers—it was in who I became by showing up consistently.
Here’s What I Learned (So You Don’t Make the Same Mistakes)
✅ Explore everything you love.
Let passion guide your creativity—you’ll never run out of things to say.✅ Be known for one thing.
Your audience should know why they follow you. Be their go-to for something specific.✅ Show up every single day.
Even when it feels like no one’s watching—especially then.
Most creators quit before this lesson sinks in.
But here’s the truth: Persistence beats perfection.
Every Post Is a Swing at the Plate
Think of your posts like swings in a baseball game.
The pros strike out. A lot. But every swing gives them a chance to hit a home run.
You can’t hit if you don’t swing.
Every post you don’t write is a guaranteed miss.
So here’s my challenge to you:
📌 Write something today. Don’t overthink it. Don’t wait until it’s perfect.
You miss 100% of the Threads you don’t post.
It’s time to swing.
To your growth,
Vikko
