The Wrong Key: Unlocking Doors with a New Mindset
My mentor recently shared a story about a frustrating hotel experience.
He checked out of one hotel, and flew to a different city.
After checking into a new hotel he attempts to scan his keycard and the door would not unlock.
Can you relate?
Tired and frustrated, he goes back to the front desk to get help.
The attendant inspected the keycard and soon realized the issue.
Sir, "your keycard says Hilton but we’re Marriott."
How often do we try to unlock news doors with old keys and mindsets?
For me it's building new products or businesses in isolation.
Allow me a few minutes to explain.
For month's we've been building our Creatr application in secret.
There was a concern of others stealing or copying our idea.
But deep down, I knew there was value in "building in public".
Here's the thing...
There is no use in having a great idea or product and no one knows about it.
What changed?
We started a Discord community around our product.
Our members get to share frustrations about other products.
When then solve those pain points with new features in Creatr.
Don't get me wrong, there has been some evidence of "copycats".
I guess the secret is out. (LOL)
When you're innovative and a visionary, the copycats can't keep up.
By building our own community and delivering on our promises, it doesn't matter.
Each day we're unlocking new doors and features for Creatr by changing our mindset.
Get this…
I used to think I would never touch engineering math from college again.
But, sound design and digital signal processing is all math.
Now I have to write code to solve these math problems.
I guess it came full circle.
I knew one day I would combine my love for music and engineering.
I'll leave you with this...

So, what are you holding onto that's holding you back from unlocking new doors?
Cheers!
