Key takeaways
#1 Avoid Over Excessive Planning
When you're starting something new, especially something that requires you to get out of your comfort zone, don't overthink. Your first attempt at anything will not be perfect and it doesn't have to be perfect. What's important is that you start and stay consistent while maintaining a strong learning mindset.
#2 Niche down
Content creation and entrepreneurship can be soul-sucking sometimes especially when you're handling all of your work yourself. However, having a specific niche that you truly enjoy can reduce your work stress significantly since you are enjoying what you do. So, it's not always a good idea to chase after the most high-paying or popular niches, sticking to where your strength and passion lie can do wonders too.
Key Quotes
“You just have to have passion, be patient for yourself, and know that it's a lot of work.”
“You are setting yourself up for lowkey disaster if you continue to present a version of yourself that is not authentic, that is not true to yourself because it will just make the work and the exhaustion much worse.”
