There's a common misconception about work that we need to address.
Everywhere we look, we see advice about "working hard", "working more", and "hustling".
In this blog post, I'll explain why that's bad advice and what we should do instead.

These blog posts will change. ✂️

For almost 2 years, I have been sending out a collection of social media posts from the previous week (on various topics) as a newsletter. Images, videos, texts, carousels, tweets...
These newsletters have then been repurposed as blog posts.

But now, this will change.

Ever feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day?
I think a lot of people can relate to that (and especially high-achievers). The go-to-solution for most people is simple: "I need to work more". But is that really the solution?

This blog post is repurposed from newsletter number 100 and I want to talk about that. Not to brag or to celebrate a milestone, but as a "proof of concept" of a process that has helped me generate 100 letters. Because the process is what helped me get here, not an abundance of ideas or motivation.

I want to help 100 000 creators.
This goal has changed over the years and in this blog post I will share why it has changed and why you might also want to change your goal.

If you know me, you know that I dedicate a lot of my development and growth as a content creator to my consistency and my systems. For good reasons. In this week’s blog post, I’m sharing the full story behind my 3-year streak of weekly YouTube uploads— and why it took me 4 years of trial and error to get there.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how we sometimes wait for the perfect moment to start something big.
We want to "get it right" from the start, we want to think things through, and we want to avoid mistakes by starting too early.
But “waiting for the right moment” is not what will help you reach your goal. Rather the opposite. In this blog post I will explain why.

What is your association with the word "system"?
Let me guess: Boring, repetitive, corporate, limited, mundane, robotic...
The words productivity and systems don't sound super exciting.
However, those are key components for any type of journey that you will embark on as a high-achieving content creator.

It was a big decision for me (as an introvert) to start freelancing. I knew deep down that I wanted to create something of my own but I had a ton of questions circulating in my head:
How does it work? How do I find clients? Do I have to do cold-calling? How do I handle invoices and taxes? Will I have the confidence and self-discipline that I need?

Maximizing your focus is an essential part of being a content creator when... Coming up with ideas, writing out scripts, filming videos, editing, marketing/distributing etc... Video creation takes a lot of time. Simply "working more" is not the solution. Instead, you want to get the most out of every minute you spend working.

Last week, I heard something that really resonated with me. Creators are decision making athletes. Much of your responsibility as a creator lies in prioritising and making the right decisions.
You are probably doing enough, but are you doing the right things?

Confidence can be one of the hardest things to build as a content creator. Especially as an introvert (like myself). But it's very rewarding when you do. (Further down in this blogpost I'll share 5 benefits of improving your “on camera confidence”. 👇)

Starting your content creation journey can be exciting. You have decided on a niche/direction based on your skills and interests. You have a publishing schedule to commit to. You have gotten an initial confidence boost from your traction. Well done! The first step is complete. A lot of people doesn't even start. But then... you get ahead of yourself...

Often, the biggest obstacle between a person and their dream life is their mindset. Humans are curious creatures. We like to make sense of the world. We like to label things, connect the dots, fill in the gaps, and we draw conclusions based on previous experience. So when we don't have the experience or the knowledge in a certain area, the conclusion starts with words like...

3 years ago, I was struggling to create videos consistently. But last week, I hit 5 000 000 views on my YouTube channel (mostly thanks to just that: consistency). Another important thing that got me there? Alignment. In this blog post, I will share how I created alignment for my YouTube channel and what 3 things you need in order to reach 5 million views.

Do you know what you are working for?
Or what you want to reach?
Or more importantly: How you want your days to look like?
In this blog post, I will talk about why “working hard” simply is not enough.

I just reached 3 milestones I'm super proud of:
🏆 16 000 subscribers on YouTube
🏆 5 000 000 views on YouTube
🏆 Launching my online program "Streamlined Creator"
Looking back to this time last year, I can see how much I've grown. It's easy to recognize other people’s big leaps and feel overwhelmed, when they are in fact just the result of countless small steps.

Want to become a full-time creator? 🎞️ Want to work remotely and double (or triple) your income? 💰 Want to sit at a pool, under a palm tree, with your laptop? 🌴💻 Want to travel the world with just a camera and your camera and your backpack? 📸🎒 All of this is possible, so why are you not doing it? Ok, let's break this down.

How often do you think about your future? Maybe you've thought about saving money, changing job, starting a YouTube channel, investing in crypto, buy real estate, getting into the stock market... Some kind of investment for the future.

There's one obstacle we all face as content creators. Whether you're yet to start creating content online or been on this journey for some time, we will all have to face this.
