I think I get what you're saying here. But yeah, I know that daunting feeling. And if you set deadlines and don't do anything about, it's becomes a really bad cycle as well. For me anyway, I just hate the feeling of sitting still / not 'doing what I think is right' so eventually that wins out and I'll do just about anything to push through (deadline, small step, anything)

More power to you, Art. You are doing what you think you should be doing. That's so fulfilling.👍

Thanks. Yeah, there's always going to be ups-and-downs, but I believe in what I'm doing (most of the time) and that absolutely keeps me going

Thanks. I love when something connects like that. Glad to have earn the sub. I'm just getting started so any ideas, and questions you have -- if you're starting something, trying to figure something out, etc -- let me know and I'll do my best to bring a new perspective/advice to help!

The chopsticks vs a spoon is a great way to show the message

@@ved.shankar Thanks! I'm trying to step away from the desk a little more and add some new storylines into the videos to really make the points stronger or live the advice I'm giving. I'm excited for the next ones in the queue :)

Always trying to share a different / real perspective so that those who are trying know it might be hard, but it is possible...

Love it - and wow, sounds like you're living life to it's fullest. Gotta admire that. I just checked out the the channel and I'm excited to see where you go next ;)

@@artharrisonofficial Thanks! I haven't posted in a while because I find it very difficult to make my life so public... I really do get tired of the doubting voices... I promise I will try to overcome that fear

Thank you -- I'll love it when a video hits at the right time. Good luck if you're taking a leap with something!

My pleasure! (Hopefully) I’m just getting started. If there any questions top of mind let me know, always looking for suggestions on what to cover next

Come on man - if you’re gonna troll put some effort into it. The pill you’re looking for is Propecia - that’s the one for baldness. Sheesh, do I have to do everything?

Love it - glad to have you on board!

Definitely starting an UA-cam Channel, I'm currently stuck between following a 'Teacher' or 'Artist' Career, but your video was very encouranging, Art! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts. Cheers from Brazil 😄

Welcome aboard, Brazil! Good luck with the choice - Remember, life is long, whose says you can’t do both

My doubt is the hamsterwheel of social media.😢 I dont like to be the "hamster", but it feels we dont have a choice or i should look into ai avatars...what do you think about using ai

@@noamay I'm a fan of AI in general (but I've always been an early adopter of most tech), but I try to use it not to replace any part of me that's unique (my creativity, my ideas, etc), but just as a way to minimize the stuff I sometimes have to do that doesn't add unique value, but just takes time. I'm not sure what you're thinking about AI and social media -- like replacing yourself entirely so you have a "presence" but don't have to be actually participate?

@artharrisonofficial yes, im looking into building a faceless channel, since I feel filming myself is awkward, but on the other hand I see how important personal branding is, but I get anxiety only thinking about posting on a constant basis... so what I actually mean, that as a content creator, ultimately, posting to social media will dictate how content creators live their lives, they are going to live for the algorithm ultimately. That's scary and sad. And also there is just too much content in general and we will be flooded with more ...I'm not sure it's healthy anymore and if I want to participate in that cycle. I hope you understand what I mean with thinking about it, but then not liking 'the system'.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks! Man, I was so very sleepy those early years. But luckily I was still surrounded by good/inspiring people - that definitely helped me stay motivated to keep searching for a solution!

Thanks. Let me know if there’s anything in particular you’re interested in seeing in upcoming videos. I’m trying to bring a pragmatic (and healthy) approach to achieving goal / having fun in the process, but it’s super helpful when I know what’s top of mind to others!

No, lithium was one of the early / wrong diagnoses. I didn’t refuse at the time (17) but I didn’t give up on trying to figure out the actual problem

Yeah, it’s tough - there is so much content and advice/courses/etc that when you are searching for something, you can end up in a never ending loop. But I’m so excited for you if you’ve found that clarity, or even just a price of it. Honestly, from my experience, you’ll never know how long the path will be, and you’ll never “completely” arrive at your destination (or touch every edge) but that’s okay. As long as you know where you want to be, you’re headed in the right direction.

Glad you found it helpful / useful. Good luck with whatever you’re working on/toward!!!

I can’t tell you exactly what to do - that’s a personal decision that only you can make. What I can say, is that I personally prefer chasing the things I’m most interested in. Any industry can change, jobs come and go, money can be made in many different ways. So, I try to make sure whatever I’m doing is something I believe will make me happy for years to come rather than just chasing whatever seems more lucrative or stable in the moment. Not sure if that helps, but it’s what I lean on when I’m unsure

Of course you can ask. I've done a lot of things (software developer, VP, Marketing) -- but most recently I was a founder of a software company. We sold it a year ago and I worked for the company that bought us for a bit, and now I'm experimenting with this. Where it's headed is still unknown, but I just decided I wanted to start something from scratch, that was fun for me, and I trust/know that I'm going to turn it into something big again. (Totally unfounded confidence, but that's just who I am)

Thats great. Is there anyway to talk except on friday cause friday I always have work. Would love to hear and learn more.

Thanks. I'm trying!

It's the stubborn fixed-expectations-minded dad and/or mom that needs advice, to prevent a unique gem of a fate wrapped up in their yet-developing kid from going kaput.

@@rswow you’re totally right - I actually like that, putting that on the list of future videos!

@@artharrisonofficial I got plenty written about it lol, autobiographically. Plus, I know of a related very recent, and a past tragedy, in our social/family circle, where the kid in each case died young -- thus shining more light to the utter foolishness of stringent unfair expectations.

Absolutely! Make me think of Michael Scott in the office; who just couldn't yes-and at all :D. But it's true, once you know the 'game' of anything in life, it becomes so much clearer what you need to do to win/succeed/survive...

Thats awesome -- glad you liked it. Are there any things that work really well for you / you love telling people about?

Thanks for the offer, but I'm all set for now. I'm learning myself, and with my editor. Nothing perfect, but it's working for me right now. I'll let you know if anything ever changes.

also, I didn't go back through the timestamps on all the videos, but it looks like there might only be two videos over the span of two weeks earlier this month... ? I'll trust you to be honest on this :)

1. To be honest, when I posted the video I was (and frankly still am) just figuring things out. I was super excited to see other suggestions at the time, but quickly felt a little relief because it meant I had time to keep learning ;) 2. I'd have to go back an see, but there probably was a week or two when I didn't meet the goal (but a few others where I went to 3x). To be honest, while it's not really an excuse, they've been tearing up the street in front of my house for like 2.5 months (almost done) meaning the whole place is shaking and loud - some days I can't even record. 3. I don't think the broken heart is going to satisfy you, though -- It either hasn't happened, so I'm extremely good at blocking out any trauma ... maybe something else? 4. How about we start fresh now -- feel free to amend the penalty, and no that one is out there, I'll honour the commitment?

Welcome to the channel! What’s the blog about? You’re welcome to shamelessly plug it here (I asked for it - though I don’t know if YT allows links). Also, looking forward to chatting.

@@artharrisonofficial Ah I think links are not allowed on UA-cam comments. It's called The Strategy Guild on Substack. It's a blog for strategy enthusiasts who want to learn about business with a lens of strategy. And looking forward to our call! :)

Glad you liked it (and welcome to the channel!) Yeah, I’ve certainly been there. For the good and the bad, you’re stuck with yourself for this whole life, so find a balance of course, but definitely take the time for the things you want to do!

Love it! I don't know if I've heard that before or not, but with the video as well ... man. I'm not crying, you're crying. "'Cause I love you more than you could know And your heart, it grows every time it breaks I know that it might sound strange But I wish you pain"

I totally agree. So much of life - from happiness to confidence and maybe even just “being interesting” start with actually liking / being okay with yourself! That’s kind of what this video was all about! - ua-cam.com/video/KG2MMty0N4c/v-deo.html

That’s exactly my point. I know some of the people who do “more” than me with hobbies and other things might be doing exactly what they want to, so no shade on them. But for me, I think it’s about excepting that everyone wants something different :D

That's a very good, and very timely question. To be completely honest, when I started, I intentionally didn't have, or want to have, a plan -- other than to make videos, share ideas, etc. Now that I've been doing it for 6 month, and basically feel like I'm ready to "start". (I say "ready to start" because I've learned a ton about how this actually works, how to make titles, what I need to improve upon, etc - that I feel like in the coming weeks I can finally take a big leap forward). The end goal is a build a "Circular Growth Ecosystem". Basically, free tools, resources, content, community and more (all free, ideally), that both support the members and create new content and connection ideas. In general, I have a little bit of freedom with my current life, so I want to build a community rather than sell a product. I'm hoping to start here to build a brand, but then my tech and other skills will come in to create some further reach. It's still fuzzy, but over the coming weeks, the content will likely switch to have a little more focus on both Advice (as I have been providing) geared towards some more specific outcomes + me living that advice (or failing) as I actually try to define and build what I just did a poor job of doing in this post. I'm getting excited, but also know it's going to be A LOT!

Good info. I just started my YT journey and I’m following along other small creators to see what stands out. To me, it’s so interesting that you started and exited a company (I’m into the business space). Starting a channel is a lot like starting a business in that, in the beginning, it’s hard to figure out what to do next, especially if we have no experience to guide us. Personally, I find it hard to shoot, edit, post, etc. consistently because the business and family life just devour my time. Anyway, just wanted to drop a line for support. Keep on keeping on.

Boo (as in adding to your fear, not booing your comment). Sorry for having to explain it, but something tells me you might not pick up on the nuance. Seriously though, I don’t usually engage with trolls or negative comments, but sometimes it’s just fun. Not sure what brought you here or why you felt the need to comment like that, but wishing you all the best in finding joy (and getting over your fear). If you ever need to talk, I’m around … no judgement

I think with anything it’s a combination of patience and learning (being willing to say “I don’t know” and asking for help). In my past life, I went from Healthcare Tech to banking/insurance and honestly didn’t know anything. Not only was I a founder (desperate for any form of results), but when I did manage to get someone to talk to me, I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about or what any of the jargon and acronyms meant. The key was to just be a sponge. Most of the time, if you are genuinely curious and just ask, people love explaining things. So yeah, off hand that’s my recommendation, but if you have more specific questions, just let me know - or check out the description and you can just book a time with me any Friday and I’d be happy to talk it out with you (that’s why I do the open calendar Fridays - I love helping and it usually gives me new ideas for future videos - so it’s a win-win :D )

Not gonna lie had to look it up because I only know the simple term (80/20 rule) but you’re absolutely right! I want to believe it can be different but haven’t seen anything to prove it wrong yet…

@@artharrisonofficial I was initially dubious too because logically it makes no sense, but then I start learning about where it can be applied and my mind was just blown. Like this works for business but also the square root of NBA players score half the baskets???? Great works of art... Albums released... I havnt done any math to verify this but im sure the square root of youtube content creators get half the views.

That’s crazy. I bet it applies. The disparity is so huge in terms of view with outliers like Mr Beast, so I can’t see how it wouldn’t

Awesome. Yeah, same in every industry I suppose (everyone loves the overnight success - even if that never exists). Now I see you - I’m following the channel and can’t wait to see more.

@@artharrisonofficial we can struggle together 😂

Appreciate the encouragement! It’s funny how a few simple words really impact motivation!

Awesome. Are you thinking of starting something / in the thick of it?
