Somebody once told me, "You'll quit worrying about what others think about you when you realize how rarely they actually think about you."

My father used to say, "perfectionism is a disease." As a psychiatrist, now, I can't agree more.

This legit made me cry - somehow you spoke to all the fears and doubts that have held me back the last decade. I write for other people's blogs for a living and have desperately wanted to start my own blog for so long. I have the domain, I've started a travel blog for my partner and I which is doing well, so I know how to do it - BUT every time I feel drawn to create my personal blog I feel like nobody would want to read about me. What would I write? What will people think? Will I look stupid? This video spoke directly to those thoughts and gave me the motivation to just bloody do it Thank you for this inspiration/motivation/butt-kicking!

I met my fiance 10 years ago because she read my blog at university, that had like 5 readers a month.

This man is insane. Imagine forging a fully-fledged, million pound social media career as a side project while obtaining a MEDICAL DEGREE FROM CAMBRIDGE where you graduate top of the class. Absolutely amazing!!

I started a blog a few months ago and I can already feel so many benefits from it! It has 1) made me more confident in my writing skills and made my childhood dream of becoming a published fiction author more plausible, 2) made the idea of starting a YT channel less scary, 3) improved my typing speed, 4) clarified my thought process and 5) made me aware of how many things I have to share with the world - and by extension it has showed me how wonderful of a life I'm actually living that I get to do these things. And all of this is just on top of the skills I've learned about webdesign, coding, etc. Which I'm sure will come in handy regardless of what I might end up doing in the long-term future.

When referencing corporate America, he said āThey donāt really care about you as they make it seemā realest thing he said...Iāve seen experienced it first hand in the DMV. Black ppl arenāt really respected in corporate America. Glad that he was able to get out of there and become his own boss REAL SOURCE INVESTMENT is my REDEMPTION
