think today we are that much closer to that goal because of you 680 videos later 6.7 million views later i can tell you it is not easy it is probably one of the most difficult projects I have taken on because YouTube is a very unforgiving environment if your stuff is no good your videos no good nobody watches them you get no views remember at the time when I upload my first few videos I had no subscribers every time I upload a video I'll get 50 views 60 views 100 views I would subscribe to channel I would get a couple different chief Gmail account and subscribe to myself I get my mom to subscribe I'll get you know my friends talk to subscribe and just to have little bit more subscribers it was very very difficult so if your videos okay nobody's watching them if you even if your video is good guess what you get so much criticism haters critics who don't like the even though even though you are giving them value for free all they have to do is click on they're not asking for money you're not asking for anything still there are a lot of people who they have that entitlement mentality their victim mentality coming from a place of of like just hate because they don't like their lives instead of coming from a place of gratitude and that's what happens but I'm so proud that what that's what we've done it is definitely a team effort it's not because of me is because of the team what you see is the end product the video to finish in a product what you don't see is what's behind the camera the preparation the planning the filming the music the light the editing the sound and
