To the One Who Feels Like They’re Not Enough

Most people think success is about numbers.

More followers. More engagement. More clients.

But here’s the truth: It starts with one.

One person whose life you impact. One person who tells you, "That helped me." One person who finally takes action because of something you shared.

That’s when you know you’re on the right track.

Last week, I helped two creators find their fire.

It didn’t start as a plan. It started because I was lost myself.

Which is ironic—because I’ve been writing on Threads for almost two years.

That’s over 1,000 posts.

Yet there I was, staring at my screen, stuck.

I didn’t know what to write. I didn’t know what my next move should be.

So I did what I always do when I hit a wall: I turned my struggle into a mission.

Instead of waiting for clarity to magically appear, I built a system to find my fire again.

I tested different approaches, experimented with ChatGPT prompts, and refined the process until something clicked.

Then, I shared it.

I posted about it on Threads.

Thousands of people saw it. Some engaged.

But what mattered most?

Two creators reached out, telling me how much it helped them.

Most people overcomplicate impact.

They think they need an audience of thousands before they can make a difference.

But these two creators proved otherwise.

Here’s what one of them said:

And another:

That might sound small in the grand scheme of things.

But to me? It was everything.

Because when you’re building something—a business, an audience, a brand—it’s easy to get caught up in the big picture.

How do I scale? How do I reach more people?

But entrepreneurship, at its core, is about helping people.

And that starts with one person.

Think about local businesses: the barber who serves one customer at a time. The food stall owner who knows regulars by name. The plumber who shows up when someone needs them most.

Online business is no different.

If you’re helping people—even just one—you’re on the right track.

Forget chasing numbers. Focus on impact.

If you’re building something meaningful, start by helping your first 10 people.

Then your first 50. Then your first 100.

Don’t get lost in vanity metrics.

You’re already succeeding if one person’s life is better because of what you do.

So if you’re out there, struggling with doubt—wondering if what you’re doing matters—let this be your reminder: It does.

Someone is watching. Someone is learning from you. Someone is taking action because of what you’re sharing.

Keep going.

Because one person helped is still a life changed.

To your growth,
