My intro today is a bit clickbaity—but for a good reason. There’s one phrase making waves in online business circles again, and it’s a phrase you won’t hear in my marketing. I think the reason why it's making a comeback is actually because of AI.
The phrase I’m talking about is: “If I can do it, you can too.”
At first glance, it sounds motivational. But let’s be real—I don’t know if you can. You have a different background, different strengths, different experiences than me. For me to say that what I’ve achieved is automatically available to you just because I did it? That’s coming from a place of privilege.
Let’s talk about why this kind of blanket encouragement is actually dismissive, and why it’s not something I want to use in my marketing. If we really care about intersectionality and honest business, we have to look at the realities of what contributes to “success.”
