3 Steps to Stop Consuming and Start Creating

Because another webinar won’t grow your business—taking action will.

Stop Consuming Start Creating

Confessions of a Recovering Course-Addict

My name is Sini, and I used to be addicted to buying online courses. Udemy, Teachable, Instagram workshops—my inbox overflowed with logins. And guess what? I hardly ever finished them, let alone applied them.

Feel the same way?

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Consuming feels productive—but creating actually is.

It’s time to close your tabs and create something real.

Step One – Set Your “Consumption Limits”

You don’t need to quit cold turkey, but you do need limits. Try this:

  • Set a timer for 15 minutes to scroll, read, or watch.
  • Once the timer rings, your consumption ends. Move immediately to creation—even if it’s just jotting notes.

This tiny boundary creates massive momentum.

Step Two – Choose Creation Over Perfection

Repeat after me: “Done is better than perfect.”

  • Write the messy first draft.
  • Publish the imperfect Instagram post.
  • Record a scrappy, short video.

Action beats perfection every single time.

Step Three – The Power of Public Commitment

Announce your plan publicly:

  • “Tomorrow, I’m launching my first lead magnet!”
  • “Next week, I’m starting my newsletter!”

The accountability (and slight fear!) pushes you past procrastination into action.

From “Course Collector” to “Content Creator”

I spent months watching tutorials about running webinars instead of actually running one. When I finally scheduled one publicly (and nervously announced it), 6 people signed up immediately. All those tutorials never taught me as much as actually hosting did.

Creating builds confidence; consuming prolongs doubt.

Quick Action: Commit to Creating Right Now

Write one sentence about your next piece of content.

Post publicly: “I’m launching [this thing] tomorrow.”

Now, go do it.
