I'm constantly reaching out to my members, asking them questions, and starting chats with them. I don't do this because I feel the need to make friends (even though I absolutely love our conversations💛), I do this to understand my audience better.
What are the problems for introverted creators?
What are their own challenges right now?
What made them sign up?
Why did they become premium members?
What are they working on right now?
Why do they think I can help them?
etc.
Basically, it's Marketing 101, plus building a better relationship with my customers. And yes, that's a lot of work. But what you get in return is pure gold. I learn what kind of content/message actually resonates with them and where I should focus my attention.
If a topic or message keeps appearing more frequently from independent people worldwide, I'll know I've found a winner... and I will create more thoughtful and in-depth content on this topic.
Overthinking - Every smart & introverted creator's worst enemy
This happened with "overthinking". Almost in every (!) response I get, there is a mention of a form of overthinking and, as a result, not taking action. It seems to be a challenge we are all facing. Some more, some less. But we always doubt ourselves and our actions, because we care too much about what we create.
Overthinking is like a mental trap. You get caught in endless loops of doubt, second-guessing, and analysis paralysis. You are too afraid to commit to one thing over another, constantly feeling imposter syndrome, and instead of putting your work into the world, you hide in your safe place.
As a result, you don't get any traction or see any momentum in your online business. You're totally stuck. I've elaborated deeply on this in the True Offer Lab Intro and continue to mention it in my content regularly.
So, the question is, how do you break free from overthinking? How can you get unstuck if your mind is constantly working against you?
The Unstucker
Meet "The Unstucker". Your personal AI assistant to get the fuck moving already and break free from every mental barrier holding you back.
It's a custom GPT based on my knowledge and content, designed to help you take action if you're stuck. Hence, the name. It's totally straightforward, without unnecessary bullshit or the usual stupid ChatGPT rambling.
You tell it your problem. It asks you a couple of questions about it, and in less than 3 minutes, you'll know what you should do to get into action, get clarity, and break free from overthinking.
How it works
I've designed it to first understand your situation. Then it asks you the right questions to understand why you are stuck in the first place.
What feelings keep you from taking action?
Why do you hesitate?
What fears or doubts are holding you back?
Once it gets to the core of your mental blocks, The Unstucker is surprisingly effective in helping you understand what you need to do. It never makes a decision for you. But it asks the right questions to make you realize why you where stuck in the first place.
It then immediately pushes you to take a mini action right away. Nothing fancy, just a simple task to get you going. It makes you commit, with a deadline and all, so you actually do what you're supposed to do.
And guess what, once you start doing your task, you'll almost immediately get clarity. Do you enjoy it? Can you imagine yourself doing more like that? Do you want to stop after 15 minutes or spend more time on it?
From there on out, you can continue getting tasks from your AI assistant, or you can go your own way and return only to The Unstucker when the overthinking comes back or you just can't decide between two options again.
(Trust me, it will happen, again😆)
The Unstucker in action
I've run tests for almost 3 hours with every problem I'm facing. All my doubts and fears, all the things my thoughts keep circling on at night. It really does a great job about 90% of the time. Sometimes it asks questions that are hard to answer, and you keep circling back and forth a bit before you get into action mode.
In terms of personality/tone, it's very empathetic, understanding, and empowering. It asks questions based on different psychological schools to help you uncover the real reason behind your indecision and doubts, and then acts like a gym trainer, encouraging you to take action and holding you accountable. Answers are short and easy, so as not to overwhelm you. And occasionally, you get a bit of my personality and writing style, as I fed most of my texts into the knowledge base.
Here's a video of me demonstrating how I break my own overthinking with The Unstucker:
