Stop overthinking and post that first video

I’m trying out a new series of videos where I go deep on a question, topic, or scenario inside a Reddit subreddit that we can all learn from.

This first one is from r/freelance and it’s all about not overthinking your first videos, getting them out there so you can make them better, get market feedback, and learn more with every iteration.

It’s not just about video, however I do think video is uniquely valuable, which I get into in the video. But it’s the same mindset if you’re just getting started with writing, podcasting, publishing on LinkedIn, or even speaking on stage!

Nobody is born with these skills.

The only way through is with repetition and a willingness to get started—even before you’re ready.

If you’re successfully selling your marketing services, you have expertise people will care about. The only way to find out what will resonate is to publish.

There might be better ways to do it, but this method has worked for me in every other area of life and business. So I’ll personally continue operating using this approach until eventually, the work becomes better and results start to follow.

It takes time, but what doesn’t?

Hit reply or let me know in the YouTube comments what you think!
