So I'm sharing this as a breakout, do something scared and commited to a live interview at a recent event in my home town called the Caravan & Camping Show 2026.. I was approached by the organisers media and social manager while I was setting up and mid selling my wife's homemade BBQ Sauces and yeah I just said no worries I'll give it a go..... No prep, no Script or Elevator Pitch Just off the cuff and raw Live IRL on the action of it all. 🫪 I had no idea what I was sounding like it just came from the heart and I fell in love with that moment ♥️ sharing here to inspire the 1 person on the fence to tell them they deserve to be here and give it go even when you don't feel like it or don't fell ready! you got this and to all my cheerleaders here I salute and thank you for all your support. peace from Ricky ✌️😎🔥🦘 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdfQq2mCv9e/?stkn=dGY3MmN6bW16NXpw

Great excitement after lots of effort I've finally posted my first video. If you'd like a look here's the link https://www.youtube.com/@SelfAwareWomen If you'd like to have a look any feedback is welcome. I'm not sure why but when I search for the video my banner is not showing just the little icon which has to be changed (not tonite) . Frustration - any suggestions??

The bottleneck thread is the one I want to add to. I ran a service business for years before I ever touched a camera, and the lesson came from my inbox, not my analytics. Every client asked me the same four or five questions. I answered them in email, for free, hundreds of times. One day I pasted those answers into a doc and counted. That doc was a product. I just had not noticed. For a channel this works the same way. Before your next recording session, open your sent mail or your comment replies and list every question you have answered more than three times. Mine was 11 questions after one hour of copy and paste. Yours is probably 15 to 20. That list is your next 20 videos. No niche guessing, no trend chasing. You already know the answers. You already know which ones people pay attention to, because they keep asking. One mistake to avoid: do not pick the questions that are fun for you. Pick the ones that repeat. What question do you get asked so often you are tired of typing it?

Connie Mugg! woohoo you slid right in at the last minute - great to have you!
