People need to realize that they just need to START! Post a video, write a blog post, or start vlogging! No one is going to be perfect when they first start, but they WILL get better. You need to take action to get the "big wheel" turning, but once it starts turning inertia will take care of the rest. Good luck to everyone in 2018!
This is very uplifting to me. I have a small channel but I really started taking it seriously in December. I now have over 50 videos posted and have been consistently uploading in hopes of growth and expansion. There are days when I don't feel like uploading but I kick myself in the ass and push myself to upload anyways because I know that my work will show for itself at some point and I will reach the goals I am trying to accomplish. It isn't a marathon, its a race. Just stay consistent and enjoy the process.
Roberto is the unsung hero of UA-cam! You've helped me so much and helped me accumulate 750+ subs and 180,000+ views! Thank you Roberto Happy new years
Keep your expectations low and you’ll never be disappointed or discouraged. If you’re just now starting out no need to make your goal for the year 10k subscribers. It’s levels to this! Not saying it can’t happen because it can, but that’s stretching it. You have to be real with yourself.
Yes, this one! Finally, someone said it. :) I was puzzled when I saw a lot of people commenting (anywhere on social media): I want to hit 10k subscribers... but most haven't even started putting videos yet. Things do not happen if you don't make them happen. Be practical to your goal is the real deal for getting a bigger deal.
THIS is what I wanted to hear! I keep holding things back that I do have knowledge on but don’t have 100% knowledge on them. I never realised that the 60/70% knowledge that I have is also powerful and helpful for those who have none. Thank you so much for this!
Hello Roberto, I just wanted to let you know that you held our channel jump from less than 1k subscribers to over 7,000 subscribers throughout 2017. We are still looking forward to keep enhancing our channel this 2018, and we can definitely credit you as one of our inspirations that really created an impact on our content creating. I look forward to more of your content. I hope you know how many creators businesses and lives your impacting through all that you do. Happy New Year!
I found your channel in Late November 2017 and i wish I discovered it earlier. Was making one video a week (software enginneering) started diversifying my content (vlog + podcast anchor fm (thank you) .. now i put 3 videos a week and Have lots of backlog ready until feb 2018! All that while having a day job, 8 to 5.. you cant imagine how much excuses i was trying to give my self but after your late rants You kicked my butt real good .. i started recording podcasts while commuting to work and my vlog in the way back and tutorials on the weekend ... and working on thumbnails using canva (again thank you) .... English is not my first language but I noticed after putting this much content out there I became miuch more confident... again thanks and no you dont need to put any nore motivational video ... everyone should just start and put their work out there..
Someone said recently that the most difficult step is the one from 0 to 1. I've started uploading regularly just recently. I think people like you and some others grow because you provide value by sharing your skills. I'm just a vlog and that space is pretty damn crowded lol. Keep up the good work.
Roberto. I've watched your videos for 3 months to prepare for my nature UA-cam channel. Today, I am editing my first video. I had a lot of fear a few weeks ago but last weekend, I filmed with more confidence. I'll be launching late January with a proper schedule. Thank you for everything. I'm gonna make a difference.
Yay! First comment and I just wanted to say thanks for all your advice in 2017. In the last six months my channel grew from 600 subs to 16k and that is thanks to all of your amazing advice so thank you. Will continue to tune into you in 2018 cause I think you’re awesome Roberto. Thx so much 👍🏻
Thank you so much for working so hard and creating such good content. I wish you the best in your endeavors. My small finance channel started because of you. I couldn’t believe it when I actually made it happen and I could care less what anyone said about it. Nobody in my life cares to listen, so I had to reach out to the world. Thank you so much for the motivation you give. Public speaking has always seemed like a lot of fun to me and maybe one day it’ll happen because of UA-cam. I mean it when I say THANK YOU! I hope it gives you a great sense of satisfaction that many of us are grateful for your hard work. You rock my friend
Soo true! The thing you say that too many people hold back for not being a "grade A" expert on something... I am not the best angler not by longshot... but i do have 10 years of experience and a knack for explaining things... also i am the only one doing a fishing youtube channel in Mexico in a seriously manner... so... to my knowledge i am the fastest growing youtube channel in my niche here in México... i am not the biggest one yet, but i will get there! ✌
Critism Im okay with! Then I know what I must work on, but just saying example: You sing horrible and such things, that doesn't really belong and it has no feed back how you can improve on that. I had such comments on my wall and it was because of those comments! I had been out of UA-cam for awhile, because it had hurt me, but now Im much stronger and now I don't give a shit about the negative comments anymore! Critism I can handle, because they can make you improve on the things, that arn't right! They give you feedback on it! Now I know there are always people, who don't like your vids that you make. But Im actually really proud of myself because I never taught in the four years I have been on UA-cam, would even gain subscribers and now I have over 50! So Im very proud of what I did and that there are people, who like the vids I make on here! It's an acomplishmend for me :)
Thanks for reminding me to think big, but to break big goals down to daily doable tasks. Been dropping blog links all day to grow our brand. Also working on our next thing. Excited about our journey.😀
You're awesome, Roberto! This grandma was exhausted from uploading so many Halliween & Christmas videos, I kept telling myself I needed a two week break, then I watched some of your videos and I'm out the front door and on a train bound for Los Angeles to make new content for my channel.THANK YOU! And much more success in 2018 and beyond! 😊😊😊
I feel like in this video you were a parent telling me to stop being lazy, making excuses, and put every effort into my passions. Definitely needed this! Great video 🤗
I have made every single excuse you mentioned. I have also heard other people make many excuses to NOT be creative. I was so irritated at them and realized I do the same thing. I irritate myself by how many excuses I make. No more excuses! AMEN, ROBERTO!!!
Totally agree with every word you said!!! I actually didn’t even start watching videos like this, UA-cam tips/advice, until after I started UA-cam! I just knew I wanted to start a channel so I did and I learned a lot along the way, but I wouldn’t be where I am today and less I executed and just went for it! I haven’t even been on here for a year and I have learned so much and I know I still have a lot to learn, and I am so excited!
Great advice as usual! ❤️ I'm blown away. I stopped blogging late last year (after completing numerous sponsorships!) because of lack of confidence and I'm shocked when people tell me they love my blog. Now I get it. Thanks Roberto!!
Roberto watching you over the past year has been such a real source of inspiration and help! Every time I start to overthink or go into endless research mode simply have to remind myself to just create. I think what hinders smaller content creators is a lack of understanding and execution of the "showing up" part of the creative process. This had held me back for YEARS. I have become better by upload more and learning how to improve content from there. You have helped me learn the importance of showing up and growing from there! Happy New Year!
Thanks Roberto for making this video! the best thing for new youtubers to do if they want to make videos is to start small bit by bit and to understand that if they want to be successful they have to put in the time, effort, and passion to do so. nothing big happens overnight,they just need to keep on going and going and then they will realize that in the end it was all worth it to them because they were passionate about creating what they want and love doing!!! :)
This is what I needed right now. It's funny how this is still relevant until now. I am 22 and my dad kept on belittling me, and my sisters thought I was crazy and dumb for going for my goals, but hey will keep going for my goals no matter what! Hope I can come back here years later and thank you, and say I made it :)
This is a great way to sum up the beginning of 2018. We just launched our first video here at The Nerdy Gent and we are proud to take that first step. It is true just start! Put out that first video, make that facebook page, start that twitch. What ever it may be just do it and take a leap. If you don't start now you'll just keep pushing it off. Set those goals and just go for it! Stay Nerdy my friends
I needed this so very much today. I have been extremely depressed and this helped me 100%. I will watch it at least 3 more times. Thanks. The world is a cruel place, there is no sense in my being cruel to myself.
Hey Roberto! Good to see you still going strong man. I'm going to start watching your videos again as inspiration and motivation to keep going. I was extremely lazy during the last three months of 2017 and haven't uploaded in almost three months. I plan on rebuilding my channel and introducing different content to draw in different viewers. Keep up the great work on the advice man. You help out so many people!
Good advice. Just start. I have come a long way in just a few weeks. Never even knew how to do any of this. I can see my videos evolving. Even planning out stories. I hope to improve every week. Thanks all!
Wow thank you so much for this video. I've watched so many inspirational videos and none of them have as much value as this video does! Thank you so much!
I love it! I've spent my life putting things off because of what other people might think, or because I'm not good enough but 2017 was the year I found my 'why' to make myself do it! And I love it!! I do need to spend more time creating and developing my skills, but Rome wasn't built in a day and I'm doing it! Thank you
This is amazing Roberto. You definitely kicked off 2018 with a bang! I'm not gonna let this year pass me by! 😃 Learning how to let myself be "good enough" because I would film each video 5 times if I allowed myself. Thanks for the great advice man, its hard to find support and encouraging tips about the "real" world. I've come to realize most people want you to succeed, but they think you are gonna fail.
Wow..this is the best "motivational kick in the ass" video I have seen. I am just now seeing this in March but the year is still fresh. Setting myself up for success for this year and beyond! Thank you!
I totally agree with you. I think what's holding me back is complexibility. When ever I come up with an Idea it always requires a big team and Funding. So I gave up, went to work and made the next plan. now I have a Container filled up with Complex plans but no Business. Over the years I collected so many different skills and experience, that I now don't know where to start first. Feels like I block myself with Ideas from actually realising at least one idea. And I can confirm those people to hold you back in life and increase doubting myself, they are everywhere and all around me. The world need more Roberto Blacks. You are a good vibe Bro.. ;-) Best of success for you in 2018
So much yes!! It took me a long time to shake the words of the folks who sit around never creating something. They sure do like tearing down other folks when they aren't doing much! Thanks Roberto! Happy New Year!
Dude, I love your positivity. I just found your page and love your content. "Done is better than perfect" has been my motto this past year and it's made SUCH A DIFFERENCE in what I have accomplished. Keep doing what you do and I look forward to digging back through your catalog of videos man
Thanks, Roberto! You always inspire me to keep creating, work hard at it, and never give up. I also appreciate your advice on the nuts and bolts of video creation, but I find just as much value in your encouraging words and excellent example of how to be a success on UA-cam and in life. I hope to hear you in person someday. You are creating something awesome! Take care.
Got here through Pat Flynn, so happy I did :D I feel I used to be very creative and then "lost" it... and now the more I want to go ahead, the more I just want to create and I feel I really enjoy that!!!
Thank you Roberto, this means so much to me. I fell off of the creating Wagon trying to aim for bigger quality projects at the first opportunity I could and it messed with my flow. Small work that can be executed fast is so important, this is exactly what I needed to hear.
I have a couple of tips that are very relevant to this video. 1. Don't set up expectations "too high" for yourself, if it's gonna keep you from doing the execution. Some of us may be perfectionist's or have the mentality of "all or nothing". So sometimes we may raise the bar of expectations for ourselves so high, that if there's any doubt in our mind, or signs of it being any less than perfect/ our best. It can keep us from executing it in the first place, or delay it too much. It's good to know what we are capable of, but not if you set expectations for yourself so high that it keeps you from executing anything. So don't let the subtle fear of disappointment keep you from accomplishing anything. 2. Don't hold back, don't be afraid to pull out your secret weapon early. Now, it's usually a good idea to plan things out years in advance. And there may be certain things we want to execute at a very particular point or milestone. But if you are struggling too much to reach that point in the first place. Do not be afraid to execute some of those things early. Because what's the point in planning all those things out in advance. If you won't even be able to reach that far in the first place? So don't let your secret weapons hold you back. As someone that has started a dozen channels, I've only learned these things from one of the channels. And I can easily tell you that the stronger the passion you have for something is. The harder you've got to push yourself to execute the same thing. Because the more passion you have for something, the more you care about it. The more you care about it, the higher expectations you have for yourself. Therefore making it much harder to complete the same executions, or worse, keeping you from executing anything.
Roberto this is just what I needed to hear this is Why... I am coming out in 2018 I am going to do my best to take the world by storm... thank you I got this video after watching a few of your videos and this has more weight now
You are awesome, intelligent, real, and motivating! I can see why you are Successful, you freaking deserve it! Wishing you the best of luck in all that you do!
Thank you for this. 2018 is my make or break in terms of freelancing. I need to stop thinking like a freelancer and start thinking like a business. I have ideas of what i want to accomplish (an online course, a free PDF to offer and collect emails, go to more networking events, etc) and i keep telling myself im going to but then i get overwhelmed and i dont START. I'm about to go on a 2 week honeymoon, clear my brain, spend time with my new husband, and come back refreshed. and that's it, I have to start. And if i don't, i won't get anywhere.
This is one of your best advice videos. You’ve said it before but this is clear, concise, and short. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while but I don’t consume a lot of your content. However, recently I’ve started to watch more and more. Thanks for doing what you do. I look forward to seeing your growth in 2018. Happy New Year!
Yes🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 message received🙏 i am so happy i came across your videos, im new to UA-cam and its been ten years going back and forth out of fear of sharing myself publicly for judgement.. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Your right about continuing in what you love and not shying away from it because someone tells you to stop I know I kept doing what I love even though people kept telling me that this would never workout im still doing what I am passionate about & get better with ever step thanks for all you do & happy new year by the way.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for sharing Roberto! We've watched many videos before actually taking our dive to go deep into youtube platform and creating our channel on youtube. Procrastination kills the creative mind.. Knowledge is KNOWING,Wisdom is DOING. Peace ☺️🙏🏽💫
I've been working the past 4 weekends on 2 projects in particular. A youtube channel and book on the same subject. I have an inventory of 7 projects completed, 2 larger projects finished from before I ever considered starting. Once I have 10 weeks of content built, I'll start making the videos while I continue working on the inventory up to 20 weeks before launch. Maybe I'll start it sooner, but it depends on how fast I can crank out videos and I'd much rather prepare too much than not enough.
Feeling rough since I launched on Oct 1 and came up sort by 6 subs for my 100 mark on Jan 1…. Still a great start with 3 a week uploads so thank you for all your teachings and tutorials to help our channel grow. 2018 is set for success!!!
People need to realize that they just need to START! Post a video, write a blog post, or start vlogging! No one is going to be perfect when they first start, but they WILL get better. You need to take action to get the "big wheel" turning, but once it starts turning inertia will take care of the rest. Good luck to everyone in 2018!
this is so true!
I think that endings are more important. You can start 100 things but if you don't carry them out til the end, it would be for nothing.
WhiteBoard Finance Yes exactly we must start and follow through to the end. Beginning is the hardest part after that it’s staying consistent.
WhiteBoard Finance it's all about starting, consistency, and pushing through. We all hit plateaus, but that's just when you've gotta hustle harder!
Wow! “Don’t let cowards bully you” This is a honest and direct message. Such a great video Roberto!
You are right about the critics... they project their own fears and issues into what you do!
Great stuff!
This is very uplifting to me. I have a small channel but I really started taking it seriously in December. I now have over 50 videos posted and have been consistently uploading in hopes of growth and expansion. There are days when I don't feel like uploading but I kick myself in the ass and push myself to upload anyways because I know that my work will show for itself at some point and I will reach the goals I am trying to accomplish. It isn't a marathon, its a race. Just stay consistent and enjoy the process.
Roberto is the unsung hero of UA-cam! You've helped me so much and helped me accumulate 750+ subs and 180,000+ views! Thank you Roberto Happy new years
That's amazing hoping you have a productive and prosperous year!
Cheers mate! I hope you have a great 2018 and achieve everything you hope too!
Keep going for your goals mate! You can achieve if you believe!
Keep your expectations low and you’ll never be disappointed or discouraged. If you’re just now starting out no need to make your goal for the year 10k subscribers. It’s levels to this! Not saying it can’t happen because it can, but that’s stretching it. You have to be real with yourself.
Yes, this one! Finally, someone said it. :) I was puzzled when I saw a lot of people commenting (anywhere on social media): I want to hit 10k subscribers... but most haven't even started putting videos yet. Things do not happen if you don't make them happen. Be practical to your goal is the real deal for getting a bigger deal.
Exactly man!
I never comment on UA-cam videos, but this is exactly what I needed to hear.
Thank you.
I'm getting to 10k by the end of the year. Mark my words. Thank you for always inspiring us Roberto.
Ducking Around I’m with you!!
you got it :)
You can absolutely do it!!!
Im trynna be there with you homie. goodluck
I believe in you
THIS is what I wanted to hear! I keep holding things back that I do have knowledge on but don’t have 100% knowledge on them. I never realised that the 60/70% knowledge that I have is also powerful and helpful for those who have none.
Thank you so much for this!
Thank you!

I feel like in this video you were a parent telling me to stop being lazy, making excuses, and put every effort into my passions. Definitely needed this! Great video 🤗
Jessica Haynie 😂😂😂
I literally started clapping listening to you speak TRUTH! You're amazing Roberto. Much respect!
I have made every single excuse you mentioned. I have also heard other people make many excuses to NOT be creative. I was so irritated at them and realized I do the same thing. I irritate myself by how many excuses I make. No more excuses! AMEN, ROBERTO!!!

Solid Roberto! These videos are keeping me moving forward in my channel, design, and ambitions.
Thank you!
2018 is my year to Grow Roberto has been the plug imo. I've listened to him for a while now and can only appreciate what he's given
Fantastic! Clear, concise, real and honest. Thanks for the motivation and support!
Roberto watching you over the past year has been such a real source of inspiration and help! Every time I start to overthink or go into endless research mode simply have to remind myself to just create. I think what hinders smaller content creators is a lack of understanding and execution of the "showing up" part of the creative process. This had held me back for YEARS. I have become better by upload more and learning how to improve content from there. You have helped me learn the importance of showing up and growing from there! Happy New Year!

Hey Roberto - another great video saying the things people need to hear. More power to you and your messages
so much truth. I bookmarked this so I can watch when I'm losing focus.
Create something awesome this year!! HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone have a creative year!! 🎊🎉👍
This is what I needed right now. It's funny how this is still relevant until now. I am 22 and my dad kept on belittling me, and my sisters thought I was crazy and dumb for going for my goals, but hey will keep going for my goals no matter what!
Hope I can come back here years later and thank you, and say I made it :)
Well... You definitely created something AWESOME to kick off the year! It felt like a good "pep talk!" Right on time, bro! 😎👍
BIG THANKS from South Africa!! What a nice burst of motivation, appreciate you brother!
This gave me so much motivation to keep going thank you Roberto!!
Happy new year to all the UA-camrs ♥
Thanks hope you have a productive rest of the year
This is a great way to sum up the beginning of 2018. We just launched our first video here at The Nerdy Gent and we are proud to take that first step. It is true just start! Put out that first video, make that facebook page, start that twitch. What ever it may be just do it and take a leap. If you don't start now you'll just keep pushing it off. Set those goals and just go for it! Stay Nerdy my friends
I needed this so very much today. I have been extremely depressed and this helped me 100%. I will watch it at least 3 more times. Thanks. The world is a cruel place, there is no sense in my being cruel to myself.
Roberto I really respect you! You deserve millions of subscribers. The value you provide and the consistency of which is your own! A proud fan!
Hey Roberto! Good to see you still going strong man. I'm going to start watching your videos again as inspiration and motivation to keep going. I was extremely lazy during the last three months of 2017 and haven't uploaded in almost three months. I plan on rebuilding my channel and introducing different content to draw in different viewers. Keep up the great work on the advice man. You help out so many people!
Boom! Mike drop of 2018 already....nice one Roberto!
It's true, I've had to stop taking advice from people who think building a set of skills is a waist of time. Good stuff man!
Happy new year! What a great way to start a new chapter!
#doingit
Awesome video. You are one of the reasons I got started at the end of last year! Been uploading for 4 months now. 2018 isn't ready for me!!
Good advice. Just start. I have come a long way in just a few weeks. Never even knew how to do any of this. I can see my videos evolving. Even planning out stories. I hope to improve every week. Thanks all!
Happy New Year
Wow thank you so much for this video. I've watched so many inspirational videos and none of them have as much value as this video does! Thank you so much!
I love it! I've spent my life putting things off because of what other people might think, or because I'm not good enough but 2017 was the year I found my 'why' to make myself do it! And I love it!! I do need to spend more time creating and developing my skills, but Rome wasn't built in a day and I'm doing it! Thank you

Wow..this is the best "motivational kick in the ass" video I have seen. I am just now seeing this in March but the year is still fresh. Setting myself up for success for this year and beyond! Thank you!
This Guy Is Very Motivational ‼️
and you send us what we need
Spot on
I totally agree with you. I think what's holding me back is complexibility. When ever I come up with an Idea it always requires a big team and Funding. So I gave up, went to work and made the next plan. now I have a Container filled up with Complex plans but no Business. Over the years I collected so many different skills and experience, that I now don't know where to start first. Feels like I block myself with Ideas from actually realising at least one idea. And I can confirm those people to hold you back in life and increase doubting myself, they are everywhere and all around me. The world need more Roberto Blacks. You are a good vibe Bro.. ;-) Best of success for you in 2018
So much yes!! It took me a long time to shake the words of the folks who sit around never creating something. They sure do like tearing down other folks when they aren't doing much! Thanks Roberto! Happy New Year!
I’m going to use a word and say this... I love your intensity! If you weren’t you then you wouldn’t be awesome. Thank you.
Happy New Year everyone let's go create something awesome today thanks Roberto always great advice. 👌
Roberto, definitely needed this, can't say enough about everything you've said here.
thanks for the intensity in this video to start off the year. I believe confidence, optimism, and discipline is key to getting started.
Mr. Blake!!!!!!!!!!!!! You hit the nail on the head!!! Thank you so very much for this video! I spoke to my soul❤️❤️❤️
Dude, I love your positivity. I just found your page and love your content. "Done is better than perfect" has been my motto this past year and it's made SUCH A DIFFERENCE in what I have accomplished. Keep doing what you do and I look forward to digging back through your catalog of videos man
What a way to start off the new year! Thanks, Roberto! I'm sure I'll watch this video a few more times throughout the year.
Thanks, Roberto! You always inspire me to keep creating, work hard at it, and never give up. I also appreciate your advice on the nuts and bolts of video creation, but I find just as much value in your encouraging words and excellent example of how to be a success on UA-cam and in life. I hope to hear you in person someday. You are creating something awesome! Take care.
Got here through Pat Flynn, so happy I did :D I feel I used to be very creative and then "lost" it... and now the more I want to go ahead, the more I just want to create and I feel I really enjoy that!!!
Excellent suggestions, Roberto. Nicely done.
Thank you Roberto, this means so much to me. I fell off of the creating Wagon trying to aim for bigger quality projects at the first opportunity I could and it messed with my flow. Small work that can be executed fast is so important, this is exactly what I needed to hear.
I have a couple of tips that are very relevant to this video.
1. Don't set up expectations "too high" for yourself, if it's gonna keep you from doing the execution.
Some of us may be perfectionist's or have the mentality of "all or nothing". So sometimes we may raise the bar of expectations for ourselves so high, that if there's any doubt in our mind, or signs of it being any less than perfect/ our best. It can keep us from executing it in the first place, or delay it too much. It's good to know what we are capable of, but not if you set expectations for yourself so high that it keeps you from executing anything. So don't let the subtle fear of disappointment keep you from accomplishing anything.
2. Don't hold back, don't be afraid to pull out your secret weapon early.
Now, it's usually a good idea to plan things out years in advance. And there may be certain things we want to execute at a very particular point or milestone. But if you are struggling too much to reach that point in the first place. Do not be afraid to execute some of those things early. Because what's the point in planning all those things out in advance. If you won't even be able to reach that far in the first place? So don't let your secret weapons hold you back.
As someone that has started a dozen channels, I've only learned these things from one of the channels. And I can easily tell you that the stronger the passion you have for something is. The harder you've got to push yourself to execute the same thing. Because the more passion you have for something, the more you care about it. The more you care about it, the higher expectations you have for yourself. Therefore making it much harder to complete the same executions, or worse, keeping you from executing anything.
Happy New Year! Thanks for the motivation.
One of my favorite UA-cam advice video's, keep up the great work Roberto! I really appreciate your help and inspiration
Awesome info!
Roberto this is just what I needed to hear this is Why... I am coming out in 2018 I am going to do my best to take the world by storm... thank you I got this video after watching a few of your videos and this has more weight now
You are awesome, intelligent, real, and motivating! I can see why you are Successful, you freaking deserve it! Wishing you the best of luck in all that you do!
Roberto!!!...As I have told you, and I will say it again...YOU ROCK!!!💜💜💜...THANKS for SHARING!!!
You motivated me to open a You tube channel.. Its a hard work but feasible . Thank you Roberto. I watch you powerful channel everyday.
Thank you for this. 2018 is my make or break in terms of freelancing. I need to stop thinking like a freelancer and start thinking like a business. I have ideas of what i want to accomplish (an online course, a free PDF to offer and collect emails, go to more networking events, etc) and i keep telling myself im going to but then i get overwhelmed and i dont START. I'm about to go on a 2 week honeymoon, clear my brain, spend time with my new husband, and come back refreshed. and that's it, I have to start. And if i don't, i won't get anywhere.
This is one of your best advice videos. You’ve said it before but this is clear, concise, and short. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while but I don’t consume a lot of your content. However, recently I’ve started to watch more and more. Thanks for doing what you do. I look forward to seeing your growth in 2018. Happy New Year!
Yes🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 message received🙏 i am so happy i came across your videos, im new to UA-cam and its been ten years going back and forth out of fear of sharing myself publicly for judgement.. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Your right about continuing in what you love and not shying away from it because someone tells you to stop I know I kept doing what I love even though people kept telling me that this would never workout im still doing what I am passionate about & get better with ever step thanks for all you do & happy new year by the way.
Right - On, Roberto!!! Great Kick Off for 2018!!! I needed that...
You are a power house of information. Thank you for existing!
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for sharing Roberto! We've watched many videos before actually taking our dive to go deep into youtube platform and creating our channel on youtube. Procrastination kills the creative mind..
Knowledge is KNOWING,Wisdom is DOING. Peace ☺️🙏🏽💫
I love it Roberto Blake! Keep it coming!
Great to hear your spirit. Now its time to go to work.
love it Roberto, you're a great inspiration
I've been working the past 4 weekends on 2 projects in particular. A youtube channel and book on the same subject. I have an inventory of 7 projects completed, 2 larger projects finished from before I ever considered starting. Once I have 10 weeks of content built, I'll start making the videos while I continue working on the inventory up to 20 weeks before launch. Maybe I'll start it sooner, but it depends on how fast I can crank out videos and I'd much rather prepare too much than not enough.
Happy New Year!!! 🎈🎈🎈🎈
Happy New Year
