STOP Letting Setbacks Hold You Back and WATCH This! TikTok BAN!

Introduction

Welcome, virtual friends, to this insightful piece that I’m excited to share with you today. Have you ever felt like fate decided to mess with your plans just for fun? I invite you to drop a comment and share your experience because I'm all ears and filled with curiosity.

My TikTok Journey: A Story of Resilience

Let me tell you about my TikTok journey, how one of my accounts was banned, and how I learned to let go, bounce back, and thrive. But before we dive into this, here’s a quick reminder to drink some water. Hydration might not solve all your problems, but it will definitely keep your skin glowing!

I was feeling pretty pleased with myself about my TikTok teaching account. I shared daily growth tips and study hacks that people genuinely liked. With that positive momentum, I thought, "Why not start another account focusing on my property business? Double the TikTok, double the fun!"

But I couldn't have been more wrong. I filmed an entire day at a property show at the Excel Center in London, capturing busy crowds, exciting talks, and all the property-related excitement you could imagine. After editing my clips and adding royalty-free music (playing by the rules, of course), I eagerly posted them and sat back, ready for my new account to thrive.

Instead of gaining views and followers, I was met with the dreaded ban hammer. No warning, no explanation—just a simple note: "Sorry, we're done here." One minute I was excited about building my property brand, and the next, I couldn't even log in. Naturally, I was furious. I mean, TikTok hosts countless videos that make you question humanity, yet my professional clips were the problem?

I emailed them, searched forums, and became my own IT support team trying to figure it out. Was it the music? Bad luck? A TikTok gremlin? To this day, I have no clue. Eventually, I faced a hard truth: TikTok wasn't going to change their mind, and I couldn't let this ruin my momentum.

I realized that focusing all my energy on a platform I couldn't control was a terrible idea. It was time to change direction. Platforms like TikTok are fantastic—until they aren't. With talks of banning TikTok in the US, it became clear how rapidly things could change.

Here’s the thing: we can’t keep dwelling on what was abruptly taken from us. Sure, we can vent our frustrations for a bit—believe me, I did (my friend’s dog even heard all about it)! But once I exhausted my complaints, I knew it was time to let go of the moaning and groaning and get on with life.

Instead, I shifted my focus to creating content on YouTube. Now I'm doing what I love! I'm reaching people on my own terms. If you’re feeling stuck—whether due to a TikTok ban, job loss, promotion miss, failing an exam, or any other unexpected setback—use it as an opportunity to try something new. Thriving isn’t about never encountering problems; it’s about finding ways to grow, even when the circumstances aren’t ideal.

Remember, platforms may change, but your inner strength is constant. When TikTok banned me, I chose to press forward. Focus on what you can control, and let go of what holds you back.

Empowering Affirmations

  • "I choose to let go of what holds me back and focus on what moves me forward."
  • "I choose to focus on my growth and let go of frustration."

Letting go doesn’t mean giving up; it means making space for better opportunities. Here’s how to apply this mindset in your life:

  1. Breathe and Accept: Take a moment to breathe and accept what’s beyond your control—there's freedom in that realization.

  2. Focus on Action: Direct your energy towards what you can do right now, whether it be starting a new project, exploring different platforms, or taking a break to regroup.

  3. Stay Consistent: Develop empowering daily habits—they will eventually carry you further than any single breakthrough.

As you practice these steps, you'll cultivate inner peace and resilience to thrive.

Thank you for spending your time with me, virtual friends. Remember, your journey begins with you, and it starts today:
