Making Progress on Medium
Cast your mind back to the first time you watched the movie Inception — the 2010 science fiction thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Do you remember the rollercoaster ride of confusion and frustration that accompanied that movie?
Just when you think you finally have a grasp on what is going on, Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio’s character) dives into someone's dream, within a dream within a dream and you're sat there, head tilted, staring at the screen looking like a dog that has just seen his reflection for the first time.
Well, that’s kinda what growing your Medium profile is like.
Spinning Your Wheels
Imagine you’re sitting in your car. Looking out of the window and all you can see around you is a blanket of clean, white, crisp, untouched snow and ice as far as the eye can see.
It’s beautiful. Picturesque. Postcard worthy.
But, there’s no time to enjoy the scenery, you’ve got to go to work. So you start up the car, put your foot on the gas and nothing.
You remain stationary, even though the wheels are turning.
