You Can Do It – Nothing Holds You Back Anymore
Hello everyone, Neon here.
I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on how long I let great ideas stay trapped in my head. Dreams, projects, music, books—always there, but never quite making it out into the world. The disconnect between “I want to” and “I did” felt like an unbreakable wall. Excuses piled up: no time, no skills, no confidence, no idea how to start. That wall stood for decades.
A big 2026 starts now
Most people treat this stretch of the year as dead time. But builders like you know it’s actually prime time. And with beehiiv powering your content, world domination is truly in sight.
On beehiiv, you can launch your website in minutes with the AI Web Builder, publish a professional newsletter with ease, and even tap into huge earnings with the beehiiv Ad Network. It’s everything you need to create, grow, and monetize in one place.
In fact, we’re so hyped about what you’ll create, we’re giving you 30% off your first three months with code BIG30. So forget about taking a break. It’s time for a break-through.
Until now.
The message today is direct and real: there is nothing stopping you now except you.
AI has quietly removed almost every practical barrier that used to exist. The lifelong problem of ideas never turning into action? It’s dissolving—fast. If someone like me, who spent years stuck in survival mode, can finally start shipping consistently, you can too.
Your ideas are more than good enough. You have creativity that’s been quietly wasted—either doing nothing with it or handing it over for free at your job. Why keep giving it away? Start creating for yourself. You owe it to the version of you that’s been waiting.
Age, experience, doubts—none of it is the real obstacle. Too young. Too old. Not enough credentials. Not enough money. Not enough “life experience.” These are stories we tell ourselves. Plenty of people with bigger doubts, less knowledge, and way fewer advantages are out there succeeding in huge ways right now.
You've had the thought — we all have. You watch someone blow up with a business, a book, a channel, an invention, and a voice inside says: “Really? I’m so much better at that than they are.” Or: “If they can do it, I can do it.”
And you’re right. YOU CAN DO IT.
It’s not limited to newsletters or social media.
Write the book that’s been haunting you for years.
Invent and actually produce the thing you’ve sketched a hundred times.
Create the music, launch the brand, start the project, build the movement. Whatever lives in your mind—bring it out.
Do it to prove it to yourself. If for no other reason than to finally silence that inner voice that says you can’t. And if you’re already creating, shipping, and succeeding—what’s the next level? What’s the bigger dream you’ve been too polite to chase?
Look around this list. We have genuine doers here:
Newsletter creators who publish consistently week after week.
Authors who wrote and self-published their books.
My Wildman friend from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu days in Japan who simply keeps releasing motivational books because he doesn’t let that inner block win.
I want to be like that too. And I’m getting there. I just needed help—and AI is the help I’ve been missing my whole life.
How I Actually Use AI Every Day (Real Examples)
Here’s how I’m using it right now to finally turn ideas into reality:
Newsletters — I speak or jot rough thoughts/bullets. Prompt AI to shape them into a motivational piece in my voice, then edit until it’s 100% me.
Work emails & letters — Need multiple versions? I write one clear base message. Then prompt: “Rewrite this three times: one concise/professional for my supervisor, one friendly/detailed for the client, one collaborative/clear for the team.” AI delivers all three instantly—I review and send. Saves hours weekly.
Art & visuals — Describe the mood/vision (“motivational sunrise with a lone figure walking forward, cinematic style”), and AI generates it in seconds. No more wishing I could draw.
Music on Suno — Start with my own rough lyrics/ideas. Refine with AI prompts for dreamy, ambient dreampop style (poetic, ethereal, nostalgic). Paste into Suno, select “dreampop ambient mix” or “ethereal shoegaze” with tags for floating synths and soft beats. Generate full tracks—my vision, made real without a studio.
It’s not magic. I still have to show up, edit, decide, and hit publish. But the old excuse “I don’t know how” is gone forever.
I don’t want to keep repeating the same pep talk forever, but I do want us to keep knocking down roadblocks together—because every time we remove one, more people get free to create.
Let’s go.
And one more thing…
There is no shyness anymore. There is no more "they are better than me" or "who would ever want to read something that I have written." We aren't doing that anymore.
AI is here to help you do what even you think you can't do. We aren't doing that anymore. We are moving forward to be the people we have always known we could be—we just needed a little help.
Now go do it.
Your Turn: Take Action Right Now
Take a minute or two right now—pause reading if you need to.
List 3 things that you want to accomplish anytime in the near future. Think about the ideas you’ve put off, the dreams you’ve pushed to the back of your mind for whatever reason or excuse. Writing them out will put those ideas into motion, so I do suggest that.
Seeing them listed makes them real. You’ve just taken the first step.
What’s the one idea you’re finally going to execute this week? Reply here or email me directly. I’m cheering you on.
You can do it. Neon
P.S. Forward this to someone who needs the push. Let's spread the momentum.
