 Yo, what's up everyone? Out there in the YouTube universe. My name is Jeff. I'm from Lightbox and right now I'm doing my 30-day 30 video challenge. Now the reason why I'm doing this is why I mean several reasons I'm trying to get used to it, but now I'm on about like day 10 and I'm seeing the challenges right now I thought this would be super easy, you know, you just turn on the camera say whatever you want to say Record it upload it. Don't worry about keywords. Don't worry about titles That's that was the plan and did not work out that way. The thing is I suffer from something called perfectionism and Usually you would think perfectionism could be good to have but as a creative It is not the greatest thing to have in fact It could kind of be a defect or like a shortcoming if you're creative and you suffer from perfectionism The problem is it stops productivity. It stops content creation and holds things back You know, I've been wanting to do this channel and start producing content and putting it out there on YouTube now for a couple years But I've always I try I make a video and it's like I'm nowhere near where I want to be and let's face it I don't even know how to use cameras yet. You know, I'm using this Logitech webcam. It's supposed to be 1080. It doesn't look like 1080 I mean the quality isn't there, you know, I have a lot to do to build it up, you know But this perfectionism thing holds me back. So, you know, what I did was I did a 30-day 30 video challenge I gave myself a challenge. I said no matter what I'm gonna make 30 videos in 30 days Now I'm tired it's late night right now It's like almost midnight and it's kind of been like this since I started the challenge I mean first couple videos were okay and It started getting hard because I got a lot of work in my daily life in my workflow There's a lot of things I got going on We got a lot of projects that we're doing right now and it wasn't as cut and dry as I thought it would be I thought it would be like hey, I'll just turn on the camera. I'll talk for about five minutes I'll just record it and just upload whatever, you know comes out and It's I found out it's hard for me to do that, you know, because I want to make it Something valuable and something that could help others So I Think you know like I'm getting ready just to talk. I look at what I'm working at right now a situation I just went through Some experience I just gained something that's working for me And I want to go ahead and put it out there But I might make one video and do like 50 takes and one five-minute video could turn into three hours And when you work in a workload, that's like, you know that you already work in 12 hours a day That could kind of get in the way. So, you know, this is I'm just kind of recording my journey on this right now I'm not planning on this getting a lot of views. I'm not planning on You know creating followers are getting subscribers from this right now I'm just recording my journey as I'm starting off into this this new area of content creation You know, I really want to put stuff out that's going to help people But I have a few things inside myself that I got to Develop I got to learn I got to grow so I found consistency is always a key I've applied this method in other areas in my life and whether it's personal whether it's business And I found that if I do anything every single day for 30 days, it becomes a habit So that's why I chose to do this challenge right here. And really I just want to get comfortable You know, I want to I want to get used to it. I want to see how it works I want to be able to see my progress and see what areas or I need to focus on what areas Do I need to improve in now? I'm not the best talker I'm not like Super verbal and come out with the best words and I often put my foot in my mouth and say stupid stuff without thinking and then I Go right back to him like hmm. I might not have said that actually I was wrong You know, I'm wrong a lot of the times. Well, not a lot of the times sometimes I'm wrong But that's how I learned and I'm open to it. I try to stay open-minded. I try to stay Ready to learn I try to keep my ego aside. I try to practice humility and That's how I was able to grow so fast in my career and starting my agency Well, this is it. I hope that this might be able to help someone if anybody even watches it I doubt anyone will well, maybe later on with this channel grows because I do have faith this channel will grow I do have faith that we're going to turn this into something The image quality right now it sucks. The background is like not really there. This is just my work office I'm already right now in the process and getting a new camera and getting ready to properly invest into this So I do look forward to creating some more high quality Videos that's focused just on the content. So probably later on once once this channel grows And we start getting you know people inside it and watching and discovering it might go back to the old videos and find this video So if you find this video and it's like 2022 This is how we started it all started this way is the 30 videos in 30 days It started with crappy recordings poor quality video and just wanting to produce content and Learning growing and just throwing myself out there So if you are new if you're thinking of you know, if you also feel like you want to create something That's going to help people but you want to make it perfect and it's holding you back You're not alone. This happens to so many creatives out there whether you're in design whether you're in branding Development if there's anything in the creative feel this happens. This is part of it But it's something have to get over something I have to get over and if you really want to be productive and put content out there and Make a difference. You got to get over the perfection isn't you just got to put it out there and just face the facts It's not going to be perfect. There's always something that can be improved That's never going to change no matter how good you get and now I'm not just saying this to you out there to anyone watching This I'm saying this because I need to hear Well, that's it. It's late at night. Let me see what time it is. It's 11 54 We made it another day 30 videos 30 days If you do watch this and you like it, you know, let me know what's up subscribe click like comment do all that stuff All right. Have a good night.
