【The Reality for AI Beginners】Why I, Who Could Never Stick to Anything, Was Able to Move Forward Little by Little
If you use AI, you can earn money easily.
At first, I believed those words too.
But the reality is, I couldn't stick to anything.
Even when I watched videos, it didn't sink in. Even when I posted, there was zero reaction. Before I knew it, my confidence was just fading away.
Even so, I am moving forward little by little now.
It's not that I had any special talent. I'm not an engineer, and at first, I was even scared of AI. But there is a reason why even someone like me was able to change.
Why AI beginners stumble at the start 😢
When you've just started with AI, there is honestly just too much information.
✅️ChatGPT
✅️Image Generation
✅️Prompts
✅️SNS Management
✅️Content Sales
New terms kept coming one after another, and honestly, I was quite confused.
And when I looked at social media,
✅️Reached 1 million yen per month
✅️Monetized in one day
✅️Easy for anyone
These kinds of posts are all you see, right?
Seeing that, I would think,
I'm the only one who can't do it
Maybe I'm not cut out for this
Is it already too late?
I was feeling like that.
But I understand now. The biggest reason beginners stop isn't a lack of ability, but
comparing too much and information overload.
The real reason I couldn't keep going 🌀
In the past, I was always seeking perfection.
✅️If I'm going to post, I have to write it well.
✅️If I'm going to share, it has to be useful.
✅️If I'm going to use AI, I have to be an expert.
By thinking like that, I ended up unable to take any action.
For example, even when I tried to write a note,
✅️What should the title be?
✅️My writing is too bad
✅️It's embarrassing if no one reads it
I worried about things like that so much that my drafts just kept piling up.
But then, one day, I realized something.
Not everyone was good at it from the start.
Even those who are successful now were struggling and experimenting in the beginning.
From there, I changed my mindset a little.
The reason I was able to move forward little by little ✨
The reason I was able to change is very simple.
It was that I started to focus only on small successes.
For example,
I was able to create one piece of text with AI
I was able to post for the first time
I got a reaction from even one person
My work time decreased a little
I started to acknowledge small changes that I would have overlooked before.
Then, strangely enough, the feeling of wanting to try a little more started to grow bit by bit.
What was especially significant was giving up on perfection.
✅️Publish even if it's 70% done.
✅️Take action even if you're hesitant.
✅️Improve even if you fail.
Since changing to this mindset, the number of times I stop has decreased significantly.
AI is not magic. But it can be a reliable ally ☕️
Honestly, using AI won't change your life in an instant.
I don't believe it's a world where you can easily make money or achieve success just by touching it.
However, AI has a great appeal. That is,
reducing the time you spend worrying alone.
✅️ It helps with writing.
✅️ It assists with brainstorming ideas.
✅️ It makes tasks you're not good at a little easier.
This is especially significant for women in their 30s to 50s who have limited time due to work and housework.
I'm not the type who can do everything perfectly myself.
Even so, by using AI,
✅️ I've become more active than before
✅️ The hurdle for trying new things has lowered
I have that realization.
A story about how I came to feel that it's okay to fail 🌸
I used to get depressed immediately whenever I failed.
✅️ My posts don't get engagement.
✅️ There's no reaction.
✅️ I can't create things well.
Every time that happened, I thought I had no talent.
But now it's a little different.
Things not going well is proof that you are trying. Only those who keep going without stopping can move forward little by little.
I've come to think that way. That's why I've been sharing my failures openly lately.
This is because I want people who are struggling in the same way to feel relieved that they aren't alone.
Summary 🌿
When you're an AI beginner, you really feel anxious, don't you?
Others look amazing, and there are times when you feel like you're the only one being left behind.
But it is okay.
No one is perfect from the start.
Even if you move forward just a little bit, that is real progress.
What matters is not comparing yourself to others, but whether you have moved a little further than you were yesterday.
AI is not magic.
However, for those who move forward while feeling lost, it can be a very reliable ally.
If you are currently worried that you cannot stick with anything, it is okay to start with just a small step.
That one step will surely change your future, little by little.
