The Danger of Reaching Your Dreams on YouTube

Author: Tim Schmoyer October 17, 2022 Duration: 31:41

We have big goals for ourselves. As creators, we want X amount of subs and we want to make X amount of dollars in X amount of time. When we actually reach these goals, we expect this huge momentous experience. But in all reality, it can be a huge let down. Roberto Blake and I were able to sit down recently and discuss what happens when you actually get what you want on YouTube. We aren't trying to crush your dreams here, but simply put you in a better place mentally for the journey.
