My name is Sebastian Boancă, I was born in March 1995 and I live in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
🌱 I like to be called "Sebi" and it's important to tell you that, when I was little, I loved GARDENING.
I had my mini garden, where I grew vegetables with love.
I've been a creative guy since I was 6 years old.
Later, life took me into situations where my imagination came in handy.
🙏 I was constantly being "tested", but this helped me because I became stronger, I learned new things, and I evolved.
And today I continue to grow, even if life is not always easy.
For a long time, I was AFRAID of words.
They just scared me…
At the age of 8, I started stuttering, even though until then I had NO problems with speaking.
At first, I stuttered a little, but because some kids were laughing at my voice, I started to speak more and more jerkily and..
..I often got stuck, WITHOUT being able to say what I was really thinking.
I could NOT even say my name easily…
I could NOT ask for a simple bread because I was ashamed that the lady at the store would laugh at me, at my stuttering.
I couldn't tell the girl I liked that she was pretty…
This made me lose my self-confidence, NOT feel worthy enough!
The fear of rejection turned me into my own harshest critic, so I was rejecting myself before anyone else had a chance to…
Stuttering brought me depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and fear of participating in certain activities that involved speaking.
💚 All until one day when things started to change RADICALLY, in a positive way.
Or, rather, I made a change.
I was 16 years old and it was a sunny summer day.
I was in OSER. If you don't know, this is a weekly fair held in Cluj-Napoca.
There people sell all kinds of things, from lamps, computers, and printers to bicycles, carpets, and telephones.
🤪 I wouldn't be surprised to find space shuttles or alien clothes there!
Ha ha!!
But let's get back here. 🙂
At the market, a boy was selling 2 used books, the author of which was a bald man with glasses, according to the picture, named Paul McKenna.
🤔 I hadn't heard of him, but the title of one of the 2 books ATTRACTED ME:
"Change your life in 7 days."
That's what it said on the cover.
"You can't change your life in 7 days! What the hell is this?!", I said to myself in disgust.
Something about those 2 books was ATTRACTING ME though…
Was it intuition?
Was it the unspoken desire to finally find the solution that would help me overcome my limiting condition?
I do not know, maybe…
🤷♂️ I just wanted to have them but wasn't sure if I should listen to my inner voice or not...
The boy selling them asked for 7 lei (almost 2 $) for the two volumes.
I said to myself: "I'll give him 5 lei (1.2 $) for both, and if he doesn't accept, I won't buy anything from him."
I told him: "I'll take them both for 5 lei", and he accepted, and that's how I came into possession of the two books.
Looking back, I am AMAZED: for a difference of 2 bitter lei (0.5 $), I was about to MISS out on so many good things!
I'll tell you in great detail below what I mean.
I read the books in a few days.
Thus, I found out that Paul McKenna is one of the best hypnotherapists in the world.
🧠 From him I learned for the first time in my life to work with the SUBCONSCIOUS.
He was that part of my mind that I fought hard, OFTEN, almost daily.
A few years later I learned more about hypnosis.
The information in the books helped me trust this practice and my mind, even when my efforts SEEMED to be fruitless.
At the age of 16 (in 2011) I went into a severe depression. Yes, me, the one with "ha, ha, ha".
I wasn't a Comedian then... I wasn't funny. And I hated optimists.
Being a stutterer, it was super hard for me to speak, and some of my classmates at school often made fun of me because of the way I spoke.
Anxiety was SECOND NATURE to me and I was being very hard on myself.
Of course, I also laughed at some jokes from time to time, but ONLY for the facade. My smile was faker than the cheapest plastic flowers.
To ease my existential pain, I got myself some weights and trained 5 times/week, 1 hour/day (as if I didn't have enough emotional baggage that was weighing me down 😆).
It was one of the few forms of emotional release for me... Then I injured my back and could no longer do this sport.
My muscles (that hold the spine) hurt, even when I was just sitting in a chair.
OUCHHHH…
Sometimes I would get so frustrated that I would argue with God (while praying), but I would only do it in my imagination because that's where I knew it was safe to be tough. 😂
I was angry and didn't understand why these misfortunes were happening to me...
But the idea came to me to write a love novel, even though I didn't know what a novel was, nor what that love was.
I knew what "pen" and "paper" meant, so I started using them to #OFFICIALLY start my career as a starving artist.
Writing became another form of release and expression for me, replacing working with barbells and dumbbells. I threw the novel away, but I kept my passion for writing.
Moreover, by the beginning of 2020, I had been a Graphic Designer for 4 years, but I had a BIG BURNOUT. 💥
So big that I was overwhelmed, so I decided to say "FUCK IT" and take 11 days off.
ME, the one who worked 7 days a week and still felt that the day should have 333 hours to think that I could get a little closer to completing the tasks..
..which were always endless.
The truth was that I was doing graphic design more for money and I wasn't really passionate about it…
At the end of the leave, I felt like sitting on the floor in my room, almost motionless, and simply staring at the ceiling.
I did this for about 15 minutes. It relaxed me a lot.
My body was so soft as if it was made of plasticine.
From this state I asked myself: "What should I be if not a Graphic Designer?"
A SURPRISING answer came (which I did not consciously, rationally create):
"Copywriter"
I only knew that a copywriter writes and deals with marketing. Otherwise, nothing. Nada…
But I did some research and found out that this job fits me like a glove.
🤝 The books and all those experiences were useful to me because this way I became friends with my subconscious mind.
Our FRIENDSHIP has helped me increase my intelligence, state of consciousness, acceptance, courage, and confidence..
..relaxation, creativity, hope, flexibility, vitality, health, attention to detail and more.
Moreover, that's when my heart began to open. Thus I felt positive emotions again.
✍️ I understood that stuttering is a speech disorder that I must first accept, and for effective verbal communication, I approached the written word.
I started writing poems, articles, emails, thank-you letters and social media posts..
..and now, for me, writing is a LIFESTYLE definitively integrated into my existence.
💎 I am 28 years old and I decided to be a copywriter because the quality of written communication can often make the DIFFERENCE between..
..visibility and anonymity, between harmony and suffering, or, more practically, between profit or loss.
Ineffective communication (or the lack of it) can bankrupt companies and destroy close relationships, both in business and in personal life.
I can say that, indirectly, I have been preparing all my life to become a Copywriter, because running away from the shame of stuttering has made me CARE about the words I say or hear..
..and that helps me write convincing and creative texts, from SCRATCH.
❤️ The stuttering that I thought was a curse turned out to be an intense training for a profession that I LOVE with all my heart!
Because of the challenges I was frequently subjected to, I also became persistent and disciplined.
🗣 At some point, I discovered something about words: they can be WEAPONS or TOOLS, and in some situations, they can radically and definitively transform destinies.
My mind is very well trained now to see where there are MISSING words..
Where there are TOO MANY words, sentences, or phrases..
And THE ORDER in which it is most beneficial to communicate something..
🤗 The CHARACTER my story has created for me helps me GIVE VOICE to your product or service.
And it also helps EXPRESS itself in an effective way that turns readers into customers.
Today I KNOW how to write original, creative, persuasive, and engaging texts that can increase earnings, if implemented correctly and have visibility.
🖋 In the past I put plants in the garden, and now I am a Copywriter, that is, a kind of GARDENER OF THE MIND..
..who uses the power of writing to plant prosperity, joy, and positive changes.
😌 I transform businesses and destinies for the better: word by word, letter by letter, comma by comma.
I can create clear and easy-to-read texts for your brand, WITHOUT WASTING your precious TIME looking for the right techniques.
..without writing for months/years (during which you progress slowly), without failing like me hundreds/thousands of times to end up creating effective texts.
..without getting lost in a sea of people promoting themselves (and being ignored by potential clients).
I want God to work and express himself through me as he does with plants, animals and nature in general.
I wish that every night, before I fall asleep, I am enveloped in an all-encompassing peace because I know that..
..in one way or another I brought a touch of added value to this big world.
It feels damn good to know that someone's day, life, or business is better because of me. I LOOOOVE IT! ❤️
COPYWRITING IS SIMPLE and if you want, I'm going to explain it to you step by step, in an easy to understand way (without boring you with complex, useless and tiring explanations).
To sell something I don't think you need manipulative constraints, LIES, half-truths, attitudes of superiority + all kinds of cheap and worn-out bullshit.
––> I sometimes barely speak because of the stutter and still sell. How so?
Well, I really care about people and I want to support them, I want all my collaborations to be win-win, I express myself clearly + I make offers that are easy to accept (or refuse).
I also show you the MAN behind the Copywriter, who MAKES (sometimes big) MISTAKES, has doubts and sometimes thinks he's not good/important enough.
