Honestly, stop overthinking your video creation, when to post, what time and have you said the right thing. Stop looking for perfection. <br><br>Just come from an honest place, be relatable, be real and commit to a minimum of 3 years before ever thinking it's not working 😃 <br><br>I hope this video helped and if it did, please let me know your 3 biggest takeaways 💪 <br><br>Also I would love for you to check out our Exitnine Show <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Exitnineshow">https://www.youtube.com/@Exitnineshow</a> where there is more FREE value to help you work towards "Time and Financial" independence and a living a "Life By Design"<br><br>Best<br>A<br>💙

Monetization on youtube is the new vanity metric. Its a distraction for beginners. Youtube is a marketing channel and a way to connect people searching with your products or services ❤I am focusing only on that because that is how clients find me and I get the opportunity to be of service for money

I went self employed 3 years ago. I do something very different to what you teach but I still find your content interesting and engaging. From what I've seen most people are like an animal caught in the headlights. Their fear stops them dead. It manifests itself in the need for a perfect plan, money or plenty of other reasons. Then the years go by. The best way I've seen it described is rather than 'ready, aim, fire' most people either go with 'ready, aim, aim, aim a bit more, aim again' and never pull the trigger. Or they fire once, miss and give up

I’m only 6 videos into starting my YouTube channel, and I still hate seeing myself on camera. Definitely trying to stop overthinking everything and just keep posting.

Awww! You are so relatable.<br>Thanks for continuing to ENCOURAGE and INVITE us to STEP UP. I've been getting more content recorded and posted. My desire is to remind people of the importance of being Curious and Taking Action so that they will walk into their senior years with Joy and Resilience 🙌🏻

I’ve been building my tech brand for years and it is a hustle. I have good days and bad days but I still show up. What Aaron said here is true, I’m not there yet but I’ve stopped chasing views and just putting out content that I love and want to share. The Niche is you, it’s your channel therefore your way
