Pull out your phone and talk to it. Don’t edit. Shoot and post. If you’re not super happy with your video, make the NEXT one better. Post one and tag me so I can comment support and encouragement.
We need you!
What I said:
All right. It's 2023. You told yourself that you were gonna be making content. You were finally gonna do it. You're gonna get on YouTube or TikTok or wherever, and you don't know how to edit. You don't have a nice camera. Maybe you don't have a little mic that's attached to your phone like I do right now.
It's 80 bucks. It's not a big deal. You don't need it. All I could tell you is if you don't start actually posting videos, it doesn't get any easier. So don't worry about what you're gonna say. Don't worry about if your hair looks stupid, if you haven't shaven, if you don't have your makeup on, if you didn't brush your teeth the right way.
If you're not in your ideal state of presentation, don't worry about it. Just start by talking to your phone. Worry about editing later. Just focus on the next video being better than the one that you did before. You've got 365 days in front of you, and I want to see you post videos and I want you to tag me in them, and I will see you in your comments.
GPT4's response:
That's a powerful and inspiring message! It's all about taking that first step and not getting hung up on perfection. The key is to start and then improve as you go.
Everyone starts from somewhere, and progress is made through consistent effort, not by waiting for everything to be perfect. Your advice about not worrying about equipment or presentation initially is spot on. What's important is the content and the value you're providing.
And finally, having a supportive community, like you're offering to be, can make a huge difference. With every video, you'll learn something new and get better at it. Thank you for reminding us that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
