I'm taking my own advice and slowing down for the next couple months.
Less videos, less editing, less time in front of screens, less comparing myself to others.
More family, more books, more time with family & more aimless days.
Life's too short to be working all the time.

What if you brought Netflix & HBO quality to YouTube? If you’ve got the skills you don’t need a big budget to make something incredible. If it’s good enough people will find it.

I think one of the struggles of creating on
@YouTube
is that you feel like you can never stop or take a break. That if you slow down, then everything you've built will fall apart.

I've had mild cold symptoms and it's basically impossible to get a testing kit in LA. Only 100 people have been tested here in the last week. I'm self-isolating at home but the lack of preparedness is concerning.

Don't define your worth on metrics. Likes, followers and money (beyond your basic needs) will not get you any closer to happiness.

It's kind of ironic. You start creating on YouTube because it gives you the freedom to create anything you want. Then the next minute you feel like you HAVE to create something new & original each week. The pressure can be overwhelming.

Start with 'why not'. When a partner or friend tells you their big idea, resist the urge to come up with all the reasons why it won’t work (there's time for constructive criticism down the road). But for now be the support they need.

I never thought I’d get 500k subscribers in my life. My dream when I started making original content last year was to get 15k. This is just crazy. Your comments, feedback and positivity push me each week to make the best videos I can. Thank you.

"5 Rules for Creators...
1. Don't take yourself so damn seriously.
2. Create a consistent schedule.
3. Stop caring about positive comments (it will help you stop caring about negative ones).
4. Hire help before you think you’re ready.
5. Pace yourself."

Too often creators let the algorithm decide what they create next and it’s making YouTube feel less like a passion and more like a job.

Rejecting perfectionism doesn’t mean you don’t care about the details. It means you don't get hung up on them. Make your decision and move on to the next one.

There’s a difference between being “tough” and being “strong.”
Tough: You push things down.
Strong: You listen to your feelings.
Tough: You never stop.
Strong: You rest often and know that it refuels you.
Tough: You hold back tears.
Strong: You’re not ashamed to be vulnerable
