Crown N Chaos

Alright, Chaos Army, today we’re shaking things up. This issue isn’t your typical Crown N Chaos vibe. Nope, we’re diving straight into the trenches of taking hits, bouncing back, and why getting knocked down is just part of the game.

So buckle up, because we’re about to get raw, real, and a little ridiculous.

We all take hits.

Like when you post what you think is the Mona Lisa of Instagram, and it gets three likes… one of which is your mom (shoutout to Mom for always showing up).

Or when you launch your latest “genius” idea, and the response is… well, deafening silence.

Or, my personal favorite, you hype something so much that even you start believing it’s going to crush—only for it to faceplant so hard it leaves a crater.

And let’s be honest, if you’ve never bombed, it’s because you’re either lying or not trying hard enough.

But here’s the thing—hits are part of the gig. They’re unavoidable.

So why do we keep coming back for more?

Let’s look at sports for a second. It’s playoff season, bowl games, championships—the time of year when everyone pretends they’ve been following their team all season.

The difference between winning and losing? It’s stupidly small.

One extra rep. One perfectly timed play. One refusal to quit after getting completely wrecked.

The teams that win? They’re not out there dodging hits like it’s The Matrix.

They’re taking the hits. Again and again. And still showing up like champions.

Same goes for building your brand, your audience, your empire:

• Maybe your last email flopped harder than a bad karaoke performance.

• Maybe your social media is getting less love than your neighbor’s “funny” cat videos.

• Maybe you’re pitching ideas and hearing “no” so much it feels like your new theme song.

That’s the punch in the face.

But here’s the truth: the magic isn’t in avoiding the hits. The magic is in taking the hit, laughing at it, and swinging again anyway.

Every hit sharpens your skills, builds trust, and makes you stand out like a rockstar in a sea of cover bands.

It’s not glamorous. It’s not instant. And it’s definitely not easy. But it works.

Like the message I got from a fan this week:

“Your energy is insane. It’s like you’re channeling chaos into something amazing.”

Why?

Because I’m not waiting for perfect. I’m taking the hits, showing up, and doing the damn thing.

So here’s your next move:

👉 Take the hit. Shake it off. Adjust your crown. And keep swinging.

Send another email. Rewrite that pitch. Post like you’ve got a million followers (even if it’s just your mom right now).

Because every time you show up, you’re getting closer to the win—and way ahead of everyone still warming the bench.

Rocking through the chaos,
