Man, editing is sooooo much more pleasant when you don't have to worry about changing scenes every 4-6 seconds... As if I'm trying to entertain a toddler.... I'm so over "retention" editing. Good riddance!!!

Here is a list of things that are not doing the thing. “Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing. Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on other people who have done the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Fantasising about all of the adoration you'll receive once you do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how other people did the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading this essay isn't doing the thing. The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.” — Strangest Loop Go do the thing.

Yes, in the era of Social Media, you build on their platforms and OWN NOTHING. And in one move any platform can completely destroy your strategy and business model or monetization method by changing even just one policy or feature. Build your own Website and Email list. Stop making excuses as to why you don't have this, it shouldn't even be a backup, at this point, it should be a priority.

🟢 Nothing is ever as big as it seems. Desmond Tutu famously said: “There is only one way to eat an elephant: a bite at a time.” Everything seems daunting before you start. All you gotta do is take one bite.

There's someone half as smart as you making twice as much as you. Why? Because they're taking action while you're still thinking.

Great reminder on staying lean and to focus on publishing vs. perfecting! – at Edmonton, Alberta
Replying to @TomFrankly
When you're just starting out, it's good to stay scrappy and use what works. Don't get bogged down in perfectionism - cut out anything that paralyzes you and SHIP. But after that - as soon as you can - invest in Plus.

Where is the lie 😅
When you told yourself you would edit all weekend but the video files are still sitting on your SD card 🙃

A digital product doing $250/month in revenue ($3,000/year) has the same return as $100,000 invested in a 3% government bond ($3,000/year). Keep that in mind when setting goals for your side hustle.
