So Excited! I worked hard for this one and will continue! Seeing it next to my name made me smile!😁Grateful for this achievement! Feels like I graduated🎓with a new achievement!👏🏾 Thank you to @Des Dreckett who told me about it. I thought I could just add it to my name. Instead, it is a success marker. I love it!🔥❤️🔥

Okay, I'm already motivated, but this Day's challenge was defining. Alexa gives the reasons and the how-to's about assuring my motivation never ceases (and yours too!). I watched this video three times. I love how she explains that the problem is "decision fatigue". Oh how that has happened to me numerous of times, over and over again. (Yet, I am still here.) So I have my schedule already outlined in my Google Calendar, but I may have to revisit them; or reschedule them. My template is in my Trello board. I do love batching and will be doing this on a regular right after this challenge. My boundary is my commitment to MYSELF to stay consistent. I will need to add tracking my progress into the template too so I can monitor that too. I love how Alexa says "real motivation comes from noticing momentum". Illumination here!💡Reconnecting to my why is important. It's on my channel and I screenshotted it here to share. My key motivation is the comments I receive on my channel and in my new community. One of the questions asked is what will I do to stay consistent when motivation is not there. My Answer: Celebrate! Yeah, celebrate what I have done, be proud of it, and each potato chips! (Yes, I am a confessed potato chip addict!🍟) This Day #21 is Finished! Yay! Moving on to Day 22 and I will see you in that post.😁🔥😁 Side Info: -Current Niche: Teaching Gift Basket Biz Startups -Pivoted from: Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse Gratitude Statement: Y'all got me pumped!

This lesson was a little bit more challenging for me because of the different pillars got a little confused so I didn't twice and then narrowing down the keywords versus the whole topic. I was also a little tired as I'm doing another project that requires homework every night and my going live on my tutoring YouTube channel that I'm pivoting on. Lots of notes again and it's done. Onward To Day 7. Cheering Squad Tags: Thank you in advance. @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Michael LeJeune @Ricardo Solomons @Jenny Sharratt @Jaye Brunner

Well, I spend 2 days on this one. Two weeks ago, I ordered the logo which I shared here in a previous post as a poll. This one, for me, was a LOT of Work! I did it and got it all done. Yesterday and Today, I spend 10 hours getting it all together: the About Section, Banner Creation, Opt-in, and more. The banner actually has my picture on it, but can only be seen on a TV for now. I will fix that later. But I did attach the entire banner, see the 3rd screenshot. (I keep hearing Alexa say scrappy is better than not at all.) My playlists are created but I don't have access yet to upload them on my channel. Here is some screenshots of what I have completed so far. I will add other links later and update the section. But for now, this is it. So..., Day 4 is DONE! Accountability Tags: @Yvette Bowlin, @Jenny Sharratt, @Dajana K., @Michael LeJeune

YouTube's new 3-tier viewer metric is a game-changer: ✅ New Viewers = your discoverability is working ⚠️ Casual Viewers = they know you but don't need you yet 🎯 Regular Viewers = your "core" (watched 6+ months consistently) Channels with high Regular % get homepage priority in 2026. Here's the strategic question most creators miss: "What can I create ONCE that viewers want WEEKLY?" Not daily news (burnout). Not random topics (no pattern-building). Try this instead: 1. Pick ONE weekly recurring segment 2. Track Casual → Regular conversion for 8 weeks 3. Double down on what works Examples: - "Friday Founder Updates" (your niche) - "Tuesday Troubleshooting" (help + consistency) - "Weekend Workshop" (hands-on value) Currently testing this with my coaching clients - early results show 2-3x faster Regular Viewer growth vs. random posting. Anyone else adapting to this shift?
