Full Transcript

I know exactly why some creators do so well and other ones don't. It's not giving up too early. It's not talent. It's not anything like that. Yes, persistence and consistency is important. But there's one thing more than anything I think especially today that matters. And that is consumption versus creation. Quite simply, if you are creating more than you're consuming, I think it's going to be a net positive for you as a creator. If you're consuming more than you're creating, it's going to be an negative. And I think most of us know that in today's world, it's not set up for us to just create and be in a world where that's easy. It's actually hard. But when you think about your own habits, are you creating more or are you consuming more? And if you're consuming more, you're letting other people and their call to actions, their hooks, those algorithms guide you. How are you going to guide you? Just create. Create more. Honestly, that's the secret. Welcome to day 16 of our 30-day short form video challenge. If you're done with day 16, type day 16 down below. Keep creating.
