Sorelle: But I'm a fraud.
I'm not good enough.
I shouldn't be here.
This is not right.
Something's wrong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can tell that little voice to go ... itself.
Sorelle: Begone.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone.
I'm sitting here with my fabulous fashionista of a friend.
Sorelle: I've been wearing this for a week.
Speaker 2: Sorelle, you might have recognized her from Greenland videos.
We went to Greenland together, and we just went to Palm Springs together.
She makes frigging' awesome content.
Sorelle: This video's gonna be the most comprehensive analysis and tutorial on how to pose.
Sorelle: Here are 19 of my best tips to help you travel the world.
Sorelle: Today I'm gonna be sharing mistakes, 11 or 12 mistakes that new influencers make
that are hindering you from progressing in success and so forth.
Speaker 2: So go check out her channel after you watch this one, because we did a video
on her channel too.
Speaker 2: In this video we're gonna be talking about how to achieve your dreams even when
you feel like you can't, when you're in that moment where you're like, "Things are going
right.
I can't do this anymore."
So we're gonna be talking about that.
Sorelle: When you have a goal in mind it is very important that you follow the steps on
how to get there.
A lot of us try to talk ourselves out of it.
We have bad days and all this kind of stuff, but it's important that you just stick to
the formula, find out a plan of what will get you from where you are to where you wanna
be, and you just do it.
Speaker 2: How did you develop that plan?
What are the steps you've taken to follow it and keep following it.
Sorelle: For the YouTube, because it's been my dream for six years to do it before I even
started YouTube, I just knew that I needed to know videos.
I knew that I needed to get better in front of the camera.
I knew that I wanted to take better photos.
So I just worked my way, slowly and surely, to getting these things done.
Then I learned all about YouTube.
I learned about marketing.
I learned about editing.
I learned all these things just so I could fulfill this dream of YouTube.
Speaker 2: How did you learn these things?
Where did you get all your resources?
Sorelle: YouTube.
Speaker 2: On YouTube, awesome.
Sorelle: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Just watching other YouTubers, seeing how they're doing it.
Sorelle: Yeah, just researching, just experimenting, practicing.
Oh, my gosh.
My first videos ...
Speaker 2: Are they on your channel?
Sorelle: No.
Speaker 2: Why?
Sorelle: They're horrible.
Sorelle: I was interviewing a horse, horses.
Speaker 2: I think that's a great idea.
Sorelle: Welcome to Sorelle's channel.
Today we are doing a very important Q&A with horses.
Sorelle: Wearing a yellow rain jacket.
Speaker 2: I've done that too.
Sorelle: And a wig.
Speaker 2: Oh, my god.
Sorelle: And a beanie, and rain boots.
Speaker 2: How long ago was that?
Sorelle: Two years ago.
Speaker 2: Okay.
That's not that long ago.
Sorelle: I know.
Speaker 2: Look how far you've come.
Sorelle: I know.
Speaker 2: I believe, and I've really learned over the years that self care is so important,
but you have to take care of yourself in order to fulfill those goals that you have.
Because if you're not taking care of yourself, you're not being the best version of yourself
and it's gonna be a lot harder to achieve your dreams and stay persistent and stick
to something, because you're gonna get burnt out so fast.
Speaker 2: Doing things that aren't related to what you wanna do for your career is so
important.
So me lately, I've been reading.
I've been drawing, doing yoga, even just going for walks in nature.
Those things recharge me and allow me to become more inspired so that I can continue following
my dreams and setting goals and achieving those goals.
Sorelle: Amen, especially for that last point that you said.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's taken me a lot of time.
I've been doing YouTube for six years now.
Speaker 2: We are in hour one of our, probably about five, six hour hike in the middle of
the jungle to spend the night.
Speaker 2: And blogging for almost nine.
So I've been in this industry for a long time until recently is when I really understood
the importance of self care and doing things that are unrelated.
Because I always feel like I had to share every single thing that I'm doing, and then
it becomes part of my job.
You have to find that fine balance between just doing things for yourself and doing things
towards your career, even if your career is your hobby.
It's hard.
Sorelle: I know that's very hard, because for me travel, sometimes I dream about not
having to talk about where I am, or what I'm doing, or even Insta stories, even just that,
but that's kind of what I'm known for so I should do that, but I wanna figure out how
to travel for a hobby still and enjoy it, and pick up skills that I've never done before.
Speaker 2: It's about finding the balance of what do you keep for just you and what
do you share.
Sorelle: Get out of your own way.
A lot of us destroy our own potential, destroy our own careers because we talk ourselves
out of everything, and I have gone through ... I've almost destroyed my career a lot
of time because I'm like, "I can't do this.
I'm not made for this.
This is too hard.
I'm not good enough," whatever.
We are our own worst enemy in so many ways.
We really just have to stick to the plan, as I said, and just do it.
Speaker 2: I feel that people who are just maybe starting out, or at a point in their
career, or thinking of what they wanna do, or who have set a goal and are going for it
feel like those who are already successful or they think are successful don't have those
points where they ... those breaking points, almost where they just are telling themselves
they can't do something, or they can't achieve it, or they're not gonna be good at this,
and we have been through that over and over and over and over again.
It's like a constant battle all the time.
Sorelle: Last week, actually.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Sorelle: I had it.
I was like, "I'm done.
I can't do it."
I go through waves like this all the time.
Speaker 2: And just to go with that, you just reached 300 thousand subscribers and you'll
probably still feel like that at some point within the next year.
Sorelle: Definitely.
Speaker 2: We have to fight.
Sorelle: Sucks.
Speaker 2: It does suck, but I think it's part of growth and when we know how to deal
with that little fricking' voice in our head it makes us stronger.
Yeah.
Sorelle: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Comparing yourself to others.
Oh, my goodness.
It is so hard not to do, and it's the worst thing to do.
I do it all the time.
Just say, "Oh, my god.
Look at how far they've come in such a short time, and I have been doing this for so long,
and I feel like I'm still not where I want to be, but where do I want to be?
What is success?"
What does that mean?
They're more successful than me because they have more numbers?
Or ... It's a constant battle of comparing.
Sorelle: It is human nature to compare, because we wanna see what is possible, what we can
achieve, but I always just remember comparison is suicide.
It really is.
It kills your spirit.
It kills your soul.
It kills your creativity.
It kills everything about your potential.
Comparison is horrible, and for me to overcome that I've had to unfollow people that make
me feel bad about myself.
Because there's a difference if you find people that you're like, "Wow.
That's so cool.
I wanna do that.
That's so inspiring," then they uplift you and you just feel good when you look at their
stuff.
And then there's people that you look at your stuff and be like, "Damn.
I'm never gonna do that.
I'm so far behind.
What am I even doing?"
Those people, unfollow.
Speaker 2: Surround yourself only with people that are gonna uplift you and motivate you
to keep pushing forward, and get rid of the people that aren't.
Sorelle: I'm a minimalist in a lot of ways, including friends and people that I surround
with.
Speaker 2: That's such a good point.
Sorelle: Bye, Felicia.
Speaker 2: Bye bye, Felicia.
Speaker 2: All right, guys.
We're gonna change locations because someone decided to have a forest rave on a Tuesday
afternoon.
Sorelle: Bye.
Sorelle: Things will go bad and you have to acknowledge that they are gonna go bad.
Either growth is gonna be really slow or it's peak, or it's gonna drop off, things always
go bad, and I think it's important to not take things personally, sometimes as well.
A lot of us are like, "That means that nobody loves me.
It's the end of the world."
Speaker 2: Oh, my god.
I can't ...
Sorelle: It's the process.
It's just the process.
Some days, some weeks, some months, things are like, "Yeah, what's up?
Everything's great," and then the following month things are just stalled, and it could
be a variety of reasons.
For example, for our industry it could be the algorithms that have changed.
Speaker 2: And that's out of our control.
Sorelle: And it's out of our control.
Speaker 2: Completely.
Sorelle: There's a whole different reason why things go wrong, and things go bad.
So it's important just, again, stick to your plan, do what you need to do and don't take
things personally.
Speaker 2: All these things we're talking about we know because we go through them.
Things have gone "bad" for me so many times where I just think, "This is it," or, "Why
aren't things going the way that they were last month.
I was doing so well.
I was getting so many views on my videos and a lot of comments and engagement."
It happens.
That's the journey of it all.
Speaker 2: Having a vision about what you want to achieve is very important.
You have to see where you wanna go in order to get there.
So having an idea in mind, and goals ... one huge goal and many goals along the way to
help you get there is important to map out and figure out for yourself.
Speaker 2: Then you just take those baby steps and stay persistent, and stay determined,
and don't compare ... All the other things we talked about, don't compare yourself to
others, enjoy the journey to get there, and keep that vision in mind along the way.
You have that vision of why you're doing what you're doing and you keep referring back to
it, you're gonna enjoy the process so much more.
Sorelle: Sometimes you have to, again, get out of your own way.
Get out of what you think you want in order to get where you need in life, the universe,
whatever you might call it.
They have a plan, so strap in for the ride and enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Also be open minded to the plan changing because that is where the magic happens.
If you're open to new opportunities that maybe you had never thought of that come to you
during ... along your journey, and you take those they can take you in a direction that's
even better than what you're original vision was, and then your vision changes a bit but
it becomes better.
Speaker 2: And that is how you achieve your dreams.
We're still ... We're a work in progress.
Sorelle: Progress.
Speaker 2: All of the time no matter what you define as success, whether you see us
as successful we all have struggles.
Even the most successful people in your life that you look up to have struggles, and that's
just part of it all.
It's part of it all.
It allows you to grow.
So keep doing what you're doing.
Keep dreaming, and don't let anyone tell you you can't achieve your dreams because there
will be people over and over again that will tell you, "You're crazy.
It's not gonna work."
Do not listen to them.
Sorelle: You do you, booboo.
Booboo.
Speaker 2: Before you go I would love for you guys to leave us a comment telling us
what your dreams are right now, and what steps are you taking to get there.
Share it with us.
Sorelle: We're reading.
Speaker 2: We are reading.
We will reply and I'm really excited to hear all your answers.
I think this is a really interesting topic, and yeah.
Dream on, baby.
Speaker 2: And also, go check out Sorelle's channel, subscribe to her.
Check out the video we did over there and that is all for now.
Until next time.
Bye, bye, bye, bye.
Speaker 2: Hi, guys.
We're causally just hanging out in the park, Sorelle and I in Toronto.
I don't know how I wanna start this.
Unless that was the intro.
I'm polish.
I ... Oh, man.
Okay.
