 If you're an entrepreneur, artist, just anybody moving in your career in general, YouTube is a gift and a curse. Why? Because there's so much high quality information that you can get on YouTube for completely free. As a matter of fact, there's even great paid information on the internet. But that's a gift and a curse as well. Let me tell you why. The thing that most artists are struggling with that I talk to, a lot of entrepreneurs are struggling with that I talk to, is discerning quality information and discerning relevant information and letting that be their only judge, period. What do I mean by this and how can this prevent you from moving forward or just cause you to waste a lot of time? So, how many people do you know are in 12th grade and then they tell their teacher, oh my God, you're amazing. This trigonometry stuff is mind blowing. My second grade teacher never taught me any of this stuff. Who does that? How would you feel if someone said something like that? It's like, bro, your second grade teacher didn't teach you this? Of course they didn't teach you this. Why would they have taught you this? That's how a lot of people look at education online though. You see those comments where one person will be like, oh man, this information is amazing. Another person is like, yeah, bro, your information is so quality. Somebody else doesn't, they don't ever talk about this or their information is so elementary. I already know all their stuff. Or you even see in the same video, one person will be like, it's mind blowing and another person will be like, I know this already trying to be all virtuous as if they're so smart. That's your fault. Sure fault, stupid. That you wasted all this time watching the entire video. That you already know everything in it or. Just be happy that there's some quality information out there. Is it relevant to you right now? No, cool, you need to keep moving. All right, but if it's quality, cool, it's quality. Everybody doesn't have the information that you have. This is the big issue that has happened since the internet, right? You have all this available information, but the sorting has not been done for you. In the old world, when we look at grade school, right? So grade school is still around. But all of that information is served on a platter in the proper order. So you have the foundational skills and understandings before you go to the next level. You have to literally graduate and make sure you're ready for the next level. On here, this thing right here, there's no filter. I don't know who's watching this video, right? And you might not be ready for it. There'll be so many videos where I'll hear artists who have done nothing. And no offense, right? But it'll be artists who have literally done nothing. And you look at their pages and their streams. They have like five streams and 20 followers. And they're like, this stuff is so stupid. It's not true, ba, ba, ba, ba. And then they'll be highly, highly accomplished artists, right? Or label execs or people like that that will reach out to me and be like, yo, bro, that video right there, that was everything. Or honestly, bro, that was the video that made me want to work with you, because that is exactly how it is. You know what's happening right there? It doesn't seem relevant to you because the videos appear, right? And then I'll have to reverse, because I'm somebody, I like to make videos based on who I'm talking to in a moment. And I'm talking to some high, some artists up here. And I think, oh, that'll be great in the video. I'll make it. And then an artist down here who needs something. And I'm talking to them, oh, that's a great video idea. I'll make it. So I'll have somebody say, yo, like, your stuff is so simple. Like, this video is so simple. Like, you're not saying anything, dude. Big whoop. Like, all these people are saying, this is great, but you're not talking about anything. Well, maybe I'm being a second-grade teacher today. But then today I might be teaching, you know, I don't know, a one-on-one class in college. I might be teaching a master's course. I might be teaching a PhD course. You have to filter, save your own time. That's the point of this video, right? And it might seem like a genius concept of some people. It might seem like, eh, nothing to others, whatever. But it's more important for you than anybody to understand quality information is quality information. Who cares if you get it already? Well, maybe you got reminded on something, but is it right? That's the most important part, all right? Is it right? Great, you just saw something and you got reminded. But also, you might be not in the space to waste your time to get more information from that video or that person or that video series. So now go find some information that's gonna be relevant to you. It's quality, but now it's relevant to you. Quality and relevance, quality and relevance. That's the fight that you're always fighting, all right? Cause you wanna make sure you get to your next step. As long as you do that, you're good. But if you're in the space of complaining and waiting for somebody to give you all the information, then he'll be confused. Especially if you're just, you're looking at all this information and you don't know how to filter it. So you're applying the wrong strategies at the wrong time or the right strategies at the wrong time. However that makes goes. So last thing I'll say for this is this is why you need people you talk to in the real world. Mentors, pay for consultations, pay to work with people, bring people on your team who are experienced. Go test stuff in the real world, get feedback. All those things are relevant. You can't get everything from this thing right here, but you can get hell of a lot. All right, that's it. Peace.
