Recently, someone told me…

“Slow progress is still progress.”

I’ve seen too many people crash and burn. Some abandoned their projects entirely, while others got to a decent point and then gave up.

It happens all the time.

It’s tough… especially when results don’t show up quickly.

No matter what you aspire to be, if you lack patience, you’re digging your own grave…

…because guess what?

Things take time!

Embrace even the tiniest progress and remind yourself that you’re in it for the long haul.

Sometimes, it feels like a mental game more than anything… a test of resilience reserved for the strongest.

Maybe it’s time to lower your expectations.

Give yourself room to breathe…

One step at a time, and just keep going.

You’ve got this!

A friend of mine started a dropshipping business back in 2016, when dropshipping was still booming. I genuinely believe it failed because he got impatient.

The idea was solid.

In fact, it was so promising that I wanted to join in. I designed a bunch of things for him, crafted mouth-watering ads, and even edited a killer promo video that looked amazing.

But then…

Impatience killed it.

He walked away even though sales were starting to come in. Progress was slow, but it was progress.

He didn’t see it that way.

Anyway…

I don’t care what you’re working on…this applies to everything.

Give it time.

Ever seen a font that just screams adventure?

A style that practically captures the thrill of the open road?

I found one exactly like that.

I tested it a few days ago, and here’s the design.

Not too shabby for a font that’s FREE…

It’s called Konexy, and you can download it here:

https://www.dafont.com/konexy.font

The moment I saw it, I knew it had that unique look that could transform any flyer, ad, social post, or postcard into a work of art, perfect for promoting outdoor adventures, camping gear, off-road equipment, hunting gear… and so much more.

Upload it to your Brand Kit, and you’re ready to roll.

All the best…

Let’s go!

This glowing brick in your pocket is a dream killer!

I just spent 20 minutes caught up in someone else’s agenda instead of working on my new project.

If you’re like me and forget to switch off your phone in the morning, you’re risking your dreams, your life, and everything you’ve imagined being washed away…

That new website, video, or design you should be working on won’t get done if you’re glued to your phone, consuming content like an addict wasting life away.

I’m just as guilty…

Fuck!

Gotta take control…

So, let’s dive into your questions…

“Is Glorify good for planning and designing social media content? Carousels, quotes, or any other designs…”

To which I reply…

Hell yeahhhhh!

Don’t even doubt it.

With Glorify, you can design anything… social media posts, ads, posters, t-shirt designs, even create art, as I’ve shown a zillion times now.

I’ll catch you tomorrow with another design.

It’s Halloween…

Hell yeahhhhh!

Let me tell you about a dream that used to get me out of bed, even on days I felt like doing nothing.

Back in 2015, all I wanted was a dirt bike. But not just any bike, the KTM EXC Six Days.

That thing was a beast. And it was twelve grand, which I didn’t have.

But in my head, I saw myself riding it across the world. Just me, the bike, and miles of open road.

I wanted to escape.

Wanted to leave everything behind, disappear, and take a year to travel. I dreamed about riding through wild places, like I did back in New Zealand with my best buddy.

We spent over a year traveling all over, feeling alive.

I wanted that feeling again.

I wanted that freedom.

The plan was simple…

Get the bike and head east. I’d visit my parents in the Czech Republic, then keep going. Russia. China. Malaysia. Even Australia.

I’d end up in New Zealand to see my old friend.

Perfect plan, right?

But there was a problem…

I was broke.

The bike was 12k, and I didn’t have it.

And the trip? Not a penny saved.

But this dream was so strong that it got me up every morning. I worked my tail off for that dream. Every time I wanted to give up, I’d picture myself out there, riding, free. And somehow, I’d find the energy to keep going.

And here’s the funny thing…

Now that I finally have the money for the bike and the trip, I don’t feel that same desire.

My dream changed.

See, back then, I could pack up and leave without a second thought. I moved to UK, then I travelled around Malawi, South Africa, and later took off to New Zealand.

No questions, no doubts.

I just went.

But now, I think differently.

Maybe I’m wiser, maybe just careful.

Leaving it all behind doesn’t feel right anymore.

So why am I telling you all this?

Because no matter what, you need a dream. Something big enough to get you out of bed, even when you don’t feel like it.

A dream that gives you the reason to keep going.

Now, I won’t go too deep here… I just wanted to share that story to maybe inspire you. Because, truth is, life changes.

These days, I’m a bit more settled. I’ve got two incredible kids who mean the world to me, and a new love for something I never thought I’d find so fulfilling…

Crafting beautiful designs… It’s something I get lost in. Some pieces even remind me of those wild days and all the freedom of the open road.

But now, there’s nothing quite like a fresh cup of coffee, and opening up Glorify to create something amazing. It’s just as satisfying but in a different way.

Who knows… maybe one day I’ll hit the road again. But right now? I’m loving the journey here, bringing stories to life, one design at a time.

It took exactly eight minutes and 40 seconds.

I jumped off the roof and ran.

My friend shouted.

“Here… here…”

There was a small ditch just wide enough for both of us.

We jumped in and kept still.

The night was pitch black.

A large bush loomed above the ditch, giving us the perfect cover.

The air was cold, and it started raining.

I heard two guys step out of the car and slam the doors.

My heart was racing like I had just run a mile in under four minutes.

We lay in the ditch, covered in mud, wet, and scared out of our minds.

The grass around the ditch was long and slick from the rain.

I could hear heavy steps through the grass, coming closer and closer.

I covered my face with my black glove and didn’t move.

We were still, like two big rocks blending into the environment.

They stopped just before the ditch.

One of them was no more than four meters away from us.

I thought to myself…

“Tonight, we might get caught.”

About five seconds later, the rain turned into a massive storm.

The kind of rain that floods rivers in minutes.

It was the most intense downpour I had ever experienced.

And I would bet everything I own that it saved our asses.

I turned around and asked my friend,

“Are you alright?”

“Yeah,” he said.

We waited for another five minutes.

When the rain eased up, we got up and ran further into the darkness, as far from the train station as we could.

We were never caught.

The next day was bright and sunny.

We took the train to see the art we did on the wall.

It wasn’t finished, but it stood out like a fart in a library.

We were proud.

Now, almost 20 years later, we don’t do graffiti anymore.

Times changed.

Even though I miss the adrenaline and the thrill, I channel it into graphic design.

Not the same, I know…

But for now, it’s good.

I started September with a new design…

Expanded it and kept working on it.

Now, it’s in the planning stages for a tutorial.

(Do you see the first design blended in the second. I’ll show you how I’ve done it in the tutorial)

This week or next, so keep an eye on it.

I’ll let you know.

All the best,

Libor_Designer
Crafting designs that turn heads is my latest thrill!

P.S. If you don’t have what I think is the no:1 design tool under the Sun, go here and grab it…

New month, new goals…

This month, I’m taking a different approach. I’ll be revisiting some of my old blog posts to rewrite, update, and transform them into powerful resources.

I also plan to redesign some of the images and create templates specifically for digital marketers.

The main focus will be on enhancing the blog posts that need improvement and redesigning images.

Additionally, my two bridge pages will get a fresh look, and I’ll be designing and uploading new templates to my “designwithglorify.com” project.

And, of course, there’s plenty of work to be done for clients.

So… Let’s go

Three months ago, I was lying in bed dreaming about this moment.

I kept telling myself, “One day, I’ll wake up and the holidays will be here.”

Fast forward to two months before the holiday, and I was cursing under my breath, thinking, “Damn, it’s still two months away.”

One month before the holiday, the excitement started bubbling up, but it still felt so far off.

And now, here I am, one day before the holiday, sitting here, marveling at how fast time flies.

Strange, isn’t it?

So, why am I telling you this?

Well, there are two big lessons here.

First, never underestimate the power of being present. And second, savor every damn moment you’ve got on this spinning rock we call home.

If you’re always stuck in your head, daydreaming about the future, you’ll miss out on the present. You’ll miss the magic happening around you right now.

It could be anything…

The most obvious is quality time with your loved ones. But it’s also about appreciating nature, your personal growth, seizing spontaneous opportunities, and finding joy in simple pleasures like a good conversation.

And here’s a big one for me: creativity and inspiration. You don’t want to be walking around with your head in the clouds, missing out on all the amazing stuff happening around you. Especially when it comes to drawing inspiration from your surroundings.

You’d be amazed at how the smallest things can spark a brilliant idea. Like a piece of trash on the side of the road inspiring a flyer design for a cleaning company.

Or seeing a woman cleaning her window sparking a series of ads about the importance of washing your gear after a mountain bike ride, selling everything from power washers to cleaning cloths.

In other words, don’t miss out on those small details you can only catch when you’re fully present.

Tune your antenna. You’ll find that coming up with new ideas becomes a breeze.

And if you need a powerful tool to turn your ideas into content that grabs attention and brings in new subscribers, here’s your best bet…

How do you go from this…

…a simple photo of a product to something more presentable, something spicier and worth people’s attention?

…to something like this?

Well, I’m glad you asked, because what I’m about to show you will help you boost your product images like nothing else.

Ready?

Use contrast in your images.

Do you see the rectangle and how the color stands out?

Well, this is for a reason. If you were to remove the rectangle, there would be nothing to draw your eyes to. It works like an anchor. It makes the product pop from the background.

It makes it easier to see what this image is all about. Plus, the color is bright, making the whole image stand out.

But anyway…

Now that you know, what are you going to do with this information?

All the best…

WOW! The last day of the 30-day Glorify Templates Challenge is now coming to an end…

To finish it off in style, I designed this beautiful flyer.

https://designwithglorify.com/b/glorify-templates-last-day

If you’re into bold, grungy, rugged-style designs and looking to present your products or services in a powerful way, then this flyer might be for you.

You can simply replace the placeholders with images of your products, change the text, and call it a day.

It’s up to you…

Anyway…

If you’re interested, here’s where you can grab it…

https://designwithglorify.com/b/glorify-templates-last-day

Now let me say this…

What this design challenge taught me is this:

It isn’t about perfection.

Creating a flow that works is more important.

Publish, publish, and keep publishing.

Satisfaction is in the process.

Less is more…

And finally, even with limited time, 1-2 hours a day, you can do a lot…

…which turns out to be another reason I wanted to start this challenge.

I wanted to push myself and see if I could wake up earlier or stay up late in the evening, cut all the excuses, quiet my mind, and just do it.

And it turns out that I can…

I’m feeling great right now…

Anyway…

Tomorrow, I’m going to sort all the templates and prepare them for bulk download in case you’re interested.

Last thing before I let you go…

Thanks for being part of it.

Catch you tomorrow…

Back in the day, when I was starting with graphic design, I learned something important…

I worked on a flyer that turned out to be a big pile of mess.

What I had on my canvas could easily be described as bird vomit.

I had…

Three different fonts…

Color palettes that didn’t go well together…

My layout was all over the place.

I used way too many graphics.

And as I kept adding different graphics to it, it became unclear what the whole message was all about.

Just as I said…

…A PILE OF MESS!

I left it alone for a few days and started searching online for what I was doing wrong.

I stumbled upon a video that explained one very important thing I had missed.

It hit me like a sledgehammer over the head…

I GOTTA MAKE IT SIMPLE!

This is when I realized that less is more.

And it completely changed the way I design today, where my focus is and how important it is to have one clear message throughout the whole design.

Because here’s the thing…

Cluttered design will distract your viewer, follower, or potential customer…

Have too much on your canvas and they won’t understand what you’re trying to say…

More than two calls to action result in no action taken almost every time.

And so…. have a clear vision, know what the message is… and make sure it’s clear and easy to understand.

Hope this helps…

You see, most people spend their entire lives working for someone else, even though they absolutely hate it.

You hear them complain almost every day.

But then, they do nothing about it.

They come home and spend the rest of the day watching TV or playing games. And like this, it goes on for 20, 30, even 40 years until they retire and wonder what the hell happened to their life.

So, how do you stop this self-destructive cycle that’s literally killing people?

You do NOT want to wait until you retire to start living, or do you?

There are opportunities on every corner.

Take the strategy from the 7-Day Shift course as an example.

Literally, in 7 days or less, you can start a small affiliate business online, recommending high-ticket products (products that you love), build a following on social media, and earn a percentage from the purchases your die-hard followers make.

And then, if you’re like me or thousands of people who went through this course, watch the sunset with a beer in your hand while listening to waves crashing on the shore. Or have enough time to hike, cycle, play ping pong, skate, shoot arrows, chill on your favorite sofa, and do nothing if that’s what you desire.

I’m not exaggerating.

This is what happens when you have automations in place… which you’ll learn about in this interesting 7-day course.

Grab it here and see for yourself.

I believe in this project so much that I started designing all kinds of content for social media, but also high-converting funnels in Systeme.io to help beginners start now and make it even more easier than it already is and so, today, I’m including these Instagram story posts, which I now offer as templates for you to grab, quickly adjust, and run with to see if you can attract new eyeballs to your online show.

Here it is for FREE…

You can download this Glorify template below.

If you’re into relaxation, meditation, or perhaps recording outdoor sounds for those in dire need of rest….

…individuals struggling to get rid of anxiety…

…and you’re in need of a logo for your existing project or you want to start a new one…

…well my friend, hold your horses, because what I might have for you today, on the 11th day of the Glorify templates challenge, might be exactly what you’re looking for, if not the best logo you can get your hands on for FREE!

It’s this simple yet powerful logo I call “Outrest,” which could set the tone of your project just right and make your brand stand out…

…giving you advantage over businesses with super ugly, unrelated, sometimes bizarre logos…

You could, with just one click, download it into your Glorify account and call it a day…

Go do what you do best…

And forget the rest…

If I sparked your interest with this logo, its style, the color palettes, and it fits the bill, you can download it below.

And just as easily as saying yes, turn it into a beast of a logo, a mind-blowing representation of your brand, business, or whatever you’re working on…

Let’s go!

Rolling into Monday with a new Glorify template…

This time, it’s all about surfing.

When I was in New Zealand, a friend of mine was big on surfing.

We used to drive to Tawharanui Peninsula (about an hour and a half from Auckland)… a beautiful place with awesome beaches, cliffs, and great hikes around the peninsula.

When the weather was right, the waves would be spot on!

I’m not really into surfing… so I would pick up my old, trusty Nikon D90 (mind you, back in 2008 this ancient camera was a big deal) and I would go around the beach, looking for textures, taking photos of the landscapes and him surfing and so on…

Anyways…

A few years later, he became an instructor – teaching kids how to surf.

Back then, it was difficult to build landing pages… not to mention creating a membership site.

The tools we know today didn’t exist back in 2008…

Systeme.io wasn’t even in planning yet.

Leadpages, Clickfunnels, Optimizepress, none of them existed.

Optimizepress, which I started using from 2011, became my favorite landing page builder until Leadpages took over.

So imagine… it was a real mission to set up and run a membership site.

And I don’t remember how he pulled it off.

All I know is… I handed him a bunch of graphics, hero images, widget ads, and wished him good luck.

But anyway…

Why am I telling you this?

To realize that you’re living in some of the best times ever. If you want to start a new business, build a new landing page, build a new course, membership without any coding skills whatsoever.

And build it in just a couple of hours using, for example, systeme.io…

And the part that amuses me the most… do it for FREE!

So there really are no excuses here.

Anyways…
