so how do you stay motivated on youtube
it can be a big challenge because
ultimately it's a lot of hard work and a
lot of times we drift sometimes from our
original focus we kinda maybe forget why
we started and we kind of get off course
and lose our motivation so we have seven
tips and let's jump into them
tip number one reconnect with your
passion I know it sounds cliché but
when you're doing what you love
it's easy to stay motivated especially
when you having fun you can keep wanting
to do it every single day and sometimes
what happens is is that things as they
shift and they drift you sometimes get
away from what you were originally
passionate about so maybe you can tap
into your passion
what were your favorite kind of videos
to make in maybe two started following
other people and following other trends
get back to your passion
tip number two purpose get in touch with
your y-yes so maybe you need to
reconnect with your mission you know the
route of motivation is motive like what
motivates you what sure why behind
youtube and maybe not just the surface
levels take some time to dig deep into
the mission behind why you want to share
your message why you want to create
videos why you want to inspire people
why you want to help people and when you
reconnect with your purpose motivation
begins to flow again as an example early
in the morning we want to sleep in but
if you've got something that's bigger
than you bigger than life is going to
help you get out of bed is gonna help
you turn the camera on and make more videos
so reconnect with that purpose tip
number three for staying motivated is
people and you know there's something so
powerful about being around people that
motivate us so sometimes maybe you need
to reconnect with some friends maybe
need to go to a conference or an event
that is electric with people that
inspire you that encourage you and that
keep you motivated and don't forget the
people that are watching you the viewers
you know like sometimes it's easy to
forget when you're not really connected
physically and you know they're watching
from somewhere else in the world but
remind yourself there are people
watching your videos and if you can
remember them
it's gonna help you stay motivated tip
number four is pioneer your own path
basically don't compare yourself to
others you know i love this quote from
Theodore Roosevelt that says comparison
is the thief of joy and remember you
know it's good to focus on your niche
your specific topic and remind yourself
that audiences are different for
different types of topics for example if
you've got a Cooking Channel you're
going to have a much bigger audience
than somebody like maybe focused on
Smurfs you know toys so don't ever
compare yourself to somebody that kind
of has an audience that's much bigger
because you can get really frustrated
when you do so
absolutely and don't compare your skills
to other people like you need to be you
be you times 2 and be the best you as possible
you know the other thing here is maybe
take some time off of social media you
know social media just sometimes causes
us to compare and wish we were somewhere
else
I love the quote that says I don't
compare your beginnings with somebody
else's middle you know you're seeing
where they're at that doesn't have
anything to do with where you're at
personally and then you also have to
think that a lot of times on social
media people only share their
highlight-reel so never compare their
highlight reel with your blooper reel
everybody has got you know
behind-the-scenes they've got issues
just like all of us so stay focused on
your own grind your own hustle and
pioneer your own path
tip number five party celebrate the
current success that you've had and you
know be kind to yourself I think when
people are going through the hustle you
know they're going through the grind the
daily grind and maybe they're not
getting as much traction as they would
like their little hard on themselves so
celebrate what you've accomplished so
far and practically literally schedule
some time to celebrate it maybe get your
loved ones together somebody else that
you collaborate
it with and just say hey let's go out to
dinner and just celebrate that we just
hit a hundred subscribers or a thousand
subscribers any milestone is worth
celebrating
tip number six be practical i think
sometimes when people are like trying to
stay motivated they overcomplicated it
might be as simple as just taking a rest
so that you can get re-motivated
you know i love this quote that says
tired eyes rarely see a bright future so
maybe you just need to take some time
off and sometimes we hold ourselves to a
standard on youtube like I've got to
post a video every single week and we
think that's a good thing to aspire to
but sometimes you need to focus on
yourself because this is not a sprint
it's a marathon so be practical to keep
your energy and your health and your
motivation up number seven
be patient you know all the youtubers
we've interviewed all revealed that it
took a long time to have success you
know and a lot of people they look at
their story and they go like you know
I'm getting so demotivated because it's just
not happening realize some people it
takes a decade
sometimes you don't see the backstory so
be patient and getting to your success
absolutely greatness takes time I've
heard it said that overnight success
takes 10 years right so be patient think
long-term and don't get discouraged by
what's happening in the short-term
