...and not really listen to anyone else. When it comes to expression and the core of your brand, going against the grain is usually the right move. Alignment beats approval. E.G. I just updated the classroom thumbnail images to reflect the heart of Brandfluencers (aka. Buon Co.) Elevated, Artistic, Intentional. I have been playing it safe, doing what "sells" doing what "people like this better". Know what... not this year. I'm going to do things "i" think are GOOD. I HOPE others like it. but that's not the point. I think these thumbnails rule! MORE→ at the heart of my own expression that helped form my design company back in 2011, was darkness. Often faceless. Abstract. Simple. Black and white or bold colors. A slightly macabre edge. Struggle breeds interest. Align with your brand, not what you think makes people comfortable.

Links to everything i have, to make content

1. 🚀 Get Going (i've been slacking. not much else to say about that) 2. 🗓️ Get Consistent (consistent youtube uploads) 3. 🎥 Get Good (1% better per video) 4. 🪟 Get Clear (using data to remove bad content direction) 5. 💸 Get Goals ( Time Management, Productivity, More Money, Delegation) ~ More : 1. I'm hung up with this youtube format in my head. *well edited, scripted, valuable etc* but, that's holding me back. I'm going to start with making "off-the-cuff" passionate videos. they may be ramble-y but they will have great insight and information. you'll also get to know me more. 2. Finding my flow. when can i just sit down and make a video "real quick"? is the question i need to answer for this. If it's not easy, it's a no go. If it's not making me happy, i can't do it forever. 3. I am kinda already starting this, but list out the categories to make each video better, and incrementally improve. E.G. vid 1- thumbnail, vid 2 - Title creation, vid 3, hook, etc. 4. By now i should have a good set of videos that i can analyze what people like and watch or don't watch. and move forward with hard statistical data on my content. new content strategy to be made. 5. This is all about the business of youtube. I'm putting it last because i hate doing things twice. If i'm going to hire an editor, it better be on a video that i know statistically is going to bring in more clients or be an incredible value to people. At this point it's all lead by minimalism. What is the single most important things, and stop doing the time wasters. 6. 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦→ 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘦. (𝘈𝘭𝘪 𝘈𝘣𝘥𝘢𝘭 + 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵 𝘋'𝘈𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 + 𝘔𝘳.

What are your goals for this year coming up or end of the month?

I once thought I ruined everything by quitting multiple programs halfway through. I felt behind and frustrated, watching others succeed while I kept restarting. That moment forced me to stop blaming tools and start improving myself. I committed to learning the fundamentals, executing daily, and staying patient. Today, I make passively income weekly from my e-commerce business. What I once saw as a failure turned out to be the turning point. Sometimes the thing you regret most becomes the reason everything changes
