Trust the process! You might have heard it; you may have read about it or watch a YouTube video. It simply means that you take some steps for achieving something in life and they do not bring instant result but after some times, they lead you towards success or achievement.
My story of transformation
Since the start of this year (2025), I have been trying to transform myself from a platform maker to a solo professional. For the last 10 years (2015-24), I was basically a platform creator- taking several groups from almost zero to at least 100,000 members and leading them to do something exceptional.
Then on the first day of 2025, I decided to transform myself to become a solo professional or in other words, I will just try and focus for my own success. I decided to become the opposite type of person that I was for the last 10 years.
My Challenges
I realized that it is very easy to simply dream but changing myself at this age was almost an impossible task. I knew what I had to do. I had to stop wasting my time in Facebook. I had to stop doing everything related to the platform and related to others. I had to stop thinking of anything that is meant for leading others, bringing benefit for others.
I also knew what I had to do. I would have to practice writing everyday as I always wanted to be a writer. I would have to become skilled in promoting my writing. I would have to start thinking of doing the things would bring me forward.
The Process Started in a very bad way
You see, I had very clear idea of what I had to do and not to do. After all, I have 25+ years of professional experience. I advised many people about life and work in the last 10 years. I led them towards achieving some almost impossible goals. I knew what I needed to do now.
Still, the process started in a very bad way. I failed in both the ways. I could not stop doing the things I should not do. I could not start the things that I should do. At one stage, I started to feel and perhaps believing that I would not be able to change myself and I would get stuck in the glamor of platform maker.
I simply Lost Hope in the process
Yes, I have no shame to admit that I lost hope in the process. I felt that at this age, I would not be able to change myself to become a solo professional. I would get stuck as being a nobody and I would have to spend the rest of my life in this fashion.
Serious doubts were in my mind questioning myself whether it was the right decision. I was becoming a selfish, self-centered person and I never wanted it for myself.
I was the person who always stated that if you can keep on trying for 100 days continuously then you will become successful in anything you try.
I still kept on trying Because
I still kept on trying because I had no other option. I did not want to go back to the old ways and suffer a lot of mental pressure and deal with some toxic persons. I told myself that I had nothing to lose but everything to gain.
I kept on trying that this is my biggest opportunity to go after my personal dreams. For the last many years, I was living the dreams of other people. Now, for the first time in many many years, I am thinking about my own dreams- the things that matter to me most in life.
The Turning Point happened and I could type 10,000 Words in a Single Day
Most probably, on 26 March 2025, out of sheer frustration, I decided that I would just type as many words as possible. The quality did not matter, there was no fixed target. The only thing that mattered was that I would just keep on typing as many words as possible.
That day, I could type 10,000 words and yes, all of them were simply garbage. I did not have the interest to post even one word in my blog that day. However, I strangely noticed that I did not feel bad. Rather, I felt hopeful for the future. I felt great because I spent the whole day on doing something that is solely related to myself.
After that I kept on Typing
I did not stop there. I kept on trying to write 10,000 words every day for the last 10 days. During this process, I started to have the feeling that words and sentences were coming to my mind automatically. I was still not satisfied with the quality of my writing but I felt confident that the process would start working soon.
This article is a game changer
I have written and revised and done some editing within just 60 minutes or an hour. It could have been done may be within 40 minutes or even half an hour. But then I would have said or repeated the same thing several times. I feel satisfied with its quality.
I am calling this post as a game changer because it is the type of content that I wanted to write for the last 100 days.
The process has brought me the result
I can see the result now. Today is 5 April, 2025 and I have got the result. I am fully confident that I will be able work every day for myself. The real change that has taken in my heart is that I am fine with being a selfish and self-centered person. I want to only focus on my own benefit without causing any harm to others.
Now, I trust the process
I fully trust the process. Also, I have realized the importance of being patient for 100 days and wait for the process to show the result. As for the next three months, I will just keep on writing and trying for myself.
The Conclusion
Finally, I am satisfied with this blog post. I have realized that I can now focus on my work at last. I am no longer the charismatic platform maker that I was for 10 years. I have retired from that role. Now, I want to be a successful solo professional and excel in my career.
I would have to keep on trusting the process. I hope you have enjoyed my post. What about you? Do you trust the process?
