When you have, for example, let's say you're gonna try to build an audience on TikTok, for example, instead of like, I'm gonna try to get this many views, or I'm gonna just try to get this many likes, what if you just went daily for 60 days? And that was your goal. Daily for 60 days.

And on TikTok, especially, we know this as creators, the strategy is to have some quantity and stay relevant by publishing daily. And not even worry about the views. So if you get to the 60 days, you've won no matter what. You've done it because that is the thing you can control. You can control your production and your publishing. You can't control the algorithm.

You can't control whether a person likes this video or not. Yes, we look at those and we base decisions off of those things. We pivot based off of those things. But when we base our mood on something that we cannot control, you are letting external factors potentially break you. And I heard this quote once, an egg broken from the outside, life ends. an egg broken from the inside, life begins.

So it has to happen. from the inside. And when you base your success on the work that you're doing, putting in the reps, not only will you still feel like you've gotten the job done and then go, okay, well, this didn't work out, but I gave it a shot. Let's pivot and talk to and find other people who've done this and help guide me. So the mentorship thing again, coming up.

But also when you have those reps and you're not caring about the numbers, you're caring about your production, your storytelling, you will get better, you will get faster. You will go from one hour editing to 20 minutes to 10. And things just start to happen. With my Shorts channel, I started the Shorts channel, again, is in the Pokemon space. I started it with the 60-day experiment in mind.

And then as far as the learning that can happen, and this is what my next book is about. It's about the information overload. Um, Lean learning is what it's called. It's finding the difference between just in time information, that's what we want. Not just in case. What do you mean just-in-time information? Just-in-time.

Whatever your next thing that you're focusing on is, and within that, your literal next steps, that's what you're focused on. That's it. Only allow yourself to learn about those things and those things alone. Knowing that when you get past that, there will be other resources available for you. Trusting that because we know there's so much information out there now.
