Mastery: PDLÂ timeline goal
Mastery Journal – Week 4
I came into this course messy. My head was full of noise, my veins carried ego, and my goals were written in whiskey. Somewhere in the grind, Showsay was born—not from polish, but from wreckage. This journal isn’t clean, but neither is the street. And that’s where the real stories live.
1. What your original goal was for this course. I didn’t start with clarity; I started with ego, whiskey, and noise. Back then, any fast paycheck was enough. But Showsay was born from the ashes. My goal now is grit in motion—preaching in alleys, telling stories on wet concrete, voices lifted for the lost. Creativity as survival. Growth as testimony.
2. How the goal was met by the course. This course forced me deeper into my own marrow. It reminded me that storytelling is more than words—it’s an experience. To let recovery be more than testimony, to let the audience feel the streetlight prayer, the heartbeat in the shadows. To turn truth into an encounter, not a lecture.
3. What you learned from this course. “Kill my ego, let's be reborn.” Even pop songs carry prophecy, from the book of Miley Cyrus. I’ve learned originality is a myth—what matters is endurance, hunger, and precision. A lone wolf doesn’t just hunt at night; sometimes he stands at dawn, howling alone, not for applause, but for the silence that answers. That is Showsay.
4. What you have changed about your SmartStart Canvas since last month. I stopped writing theory and started sharpening action. Customer segments now have faces—faith-driven creators, musicians, and ministries clawing for relevance. Value isn’t vague anymore: it’s disruptive storytelling, tech-forward branding, truth on fire. Distribution isn’t an idea—it’s YouTube, blogs, and the street stage. Real, concrete steps.
5. What led to the changes to your SmartStart Canvas this month? At first, I tried forcing progress with grit alone. But the Canvas taught me flesh runs out, spirit doesn’t. Feedback and reflection reminded me to build with patience, to let the mission breathe instead of breaking it on my own. The shift came when I stopped gripping the wheel and started listening.
6. How you will apply the material learned in the course personally or professionally. I’ll carry the discipline of truth-telling into every alley, every stage, every boardroom. I will confront the lies people hide behind, offering faith without polish, creativity without compromise. Tattoos become scripture, scars become testimony. I will not kneel to ego—I’ll walk with purpose, leaving a trail for others to follow.
The work is far from done, but the foundation is poured. The old ways are gone; the new way is being defined. The question now is—how boldly will I build, and how many lives will I ignite as Showsay takes its stand?
