    15 YEARS since leaving slowlane behind !!

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm now geeking out on the ins and outs of YouTube, helping a business owner run a second channel all by myself. Getting around 200-300k views/month at the moment (mostly got lucky because some clips caught onto the trend and blew up), aiming for 1M views/month by the end of the year. Basically...

    15 YEARS since leaving slowlane behind !!

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    I turn 24 in 2 months. Though different from you in some ways (I grew up in an upper-middle-class family), your story resonates with me so much: - I dropped out of Dentistry (a highly prestigious and lucrative career with great work-life balance here in Taiwan. I can expect to earn a 6-figure...

    Great point. It reminds me of this post written by Adam Grant I read years ago: Those Who Can Do, Can't Teach Check it out, it's a great short read. It surprised me that Einstein actually sucked at teaching Physics. I used to only think the opposite, which is also accurate in many cases and...

    How to overcome an addiction?

    HEALTH 
    Also, not just applicable to watching porn and fapping, for those out there who are currently “on a streak” and are afraid of relapsing (be it weed, alcohol, junk food, video games, social media, etc.), I highly recommend watching these 2 videos: 1. 2. (You can watch the full episode on the...

    How to overcome an addiction?

    HEALTH 
    Don’t focus on NOT doing something. Think of yourself as a rubber band. When you force yourself to resist doing something, it’s like pulling a rubber band back. Eventually, you’ll run out of willpower (the rubber band will reach its limit of elasticity), and then BAM! You relapse (the rubber...

    MINDSET PEOPLE RANT 
    I just read through the entire thread. Oh man, I was in such a similar boat as you are just a few months ago. Here are a few mindset shifts I’d challenge you to make right now that will have a high chance of boosting your happiness IMMEDIATELY. 1) Stop compartmentalizing “work” and “life.”...

    Getting My First Ever YES (Video Marketing Agency)

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    Awesome progress thread. Just read through it all. Really inspiring. I'm recently looking to upgrade the video quality but have felt overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done. This is what my checklist looks like: Thanks for giving me the perspective. My limiting belief really held...

    I only read "best-selling" books which gives me a curated, narrow viewpoint.

    HOT! BOOKS 
    One caveat I’ll add is that most people read a book, feel inspired for a while, and fall back into their old habits. You can get pretty far ahead in life by just applying what you’ve learned from 10 best-selling books. How many millions of people have read Atomic Habits and Can’t Hurt Me yet...

    What if you already know enough?

    NOTABLE! 
    This is such a beautiful and powerful wake-up call. I just added it to one of the favorite quotes I must constantly come back to review.

    Mastering YouTube & Traffic in a "Fastlane JOB"

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Modeling - Don't Reinvent the Wheel, STEAL What Works I'd been struggling with thumbnails for quite some time, but I finally got out of my own head and became more "extrospective" - looking beyond my little bubble. And man, it has worked wonders. I read Steal Like an Artist a while back and...

    Building a Personal Brand On YouTube + Other Social Medias

    EXECUTION 
    Wow, kudos for doing such a thorough walk-through. (25% CTR is INSANE by the way!) I'm in the self-development niche, and only 7.3% of the views came from YouTube searches and 1.4% came from External in the last 28 days. However, I've recently noticed some videos with decent CTR and AVD (of...

    Building a Personal Brand On YouTube + Other Social Medias

    EXECUTION 
    Hey man! I saw your post on my thread and came over. I just read through your entire thread. Awesome progress! I picked up and learned quite a few things as well. It's also insane how many similar insights we both came to without first reading each other's posts. For example, regarding this...

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Wow! What an honor! This is insane. Thank you so much @Andy Black ! I've felt myself being pulled to a higher standard since you marked this thread GOLD. Actually, I wouldn't even have started this thread at all had I not come across your thread: Don't Lurk, Do This Instead I made this...

    Get More Views AFTER Upload (WITHOUT Promotion!) I watched these 2 videos by Film Booth and implemented some changes: First, I did 2 thumbnail A/B tests with TubeBuddy last month (actually before the video above came out, but regardless, it's still an awesome refresher. Go watch it. I...
