🌟 Struggling on YouTube? Spending hours on content but getting few views? You're not alone. Many creators feel discouraged when comparing their growth to others.

📈 My Journey: I started YouTube in 2016 and it took me 4 years to reach 2,000 subscribers. Then, one video changed everything, skyrocketing my subscribers from 100 to 100K in 3 months.

🎥 Focus on Enjoyment: YouTube was created for sharing and expressing yourself. Don't let numbers dictate your enjoyment. If you want to create for fun, do it! If you want to grow, be honest about your goals.

💪 Power of Not Caring: YouTube offers financial, location, and time freedom. This flexibility allows you to say no to things you don’t want to be part of. However, achieving this requires hard work and patience.

🕒 Content Creation Takes Time: Making quality videos is challenging. Consider using resources like Storyblocks for media to save time and enhance your content.

🌍 Finding Community: As a third culture kid, I felt like an outsider. YouTube became a space where I felt seen and understood. You don’t need a massive following to build a community; even a small audience can connect deeply.

💖 Shift Focus: After focusing too much on numbers, I realized the importance of community. Building connections brings joy and freedom. Don't give up, even when it feels like no one is watching.

🚀 Keep Creating: Your journey is just beginning. Build your skills, find your voice, and create a space that feels like home. Remember, you might be just one video away from success!
