I spent a year "planning" my first YouTube video
A year of learning and planning, but zero action. Why? I wanted so badly to be successful, specifically as a YouTuber, and I had a belief, like many, that you should be "ready" before starting, l thought the path should be totally clear and that you need the perfect plan to begin.
So,I started exploring YouTube niches to pick the "perfect" one. I analysed every step to make it flawless, waiting for the "perfect" time. I created many channels, but every time I wanted to upload, the same thoughts interrupted me:
- "This video is not perfect"
- "The name of the channel isn't right"
- "The logo isn't good enough"
- "The description needs a little more work..."
How many "perfect" videos did I uploaded in that year? The answer is zero.
Then I realized: if I continue seeking perfection, I will never upload anything. So, I decided to break the cycle. This video is not perfect, it just exists. Even if it doesn't get a single view, the aim was to cut the planning cycle and finally take action.
✨D'ont fall into the perfection and planning trap✨
