Vanity, Definitely Is My Favorite Sin
Let’s talk about vanity for a minute. That sneaky little impulse hiding behind flawless Instagram posts and overly hyped LinkedIn updates. Turns out, vanity is a business strategy.
In today’s world, self-promotion is the job. If you’re not shouting about your latest big idea, then what are you even doing? Vanity is what keeps the grind going: chasing likes, reposting quotes, and yes, carefully arranging your workspace just to snap a picture. Don’t worry, I’ve done it too.
Here’s the twist: vanity might be the fuel that keeps entrepreneurs going. When the rejections pile up and the wins feel small, that tiny ego boost makes a big difference. So flaunt the new logo, show off your spreadsheets, and celebrate making it up the stairs without tripping.
It all counts.
Because beneath vanity is something far more powerful: belief. The belief that what you’re building matters. That your voice deserves to be heard. That your story is worth telling. It’s not just about being seen: it’s about showing up, even when no one’s clapping. It’s the courage to say, I’m here. I’m trying. And I believe I can make something that matters.
