Honestly, the "dont share your goals before exicuting" is TOO REAL. tbh it's probably best not to tell a lot of ppl just in case someone steals your ideas.

I got trapped in the overthinking, over planning, and lost in motion, only learning, planning, with no action, or with very small actions that will not give any output, that it becomes my new way to procrastinate is trough coming to YouTube and watching a video about how to start a business, and here iam in this video 🙂

[zzestylime]

this honestly cleared up so much for me about the actual shop starting process. i also was glad to see that we shared the thoughts for keeping goals private, and MANYY of the same feelings for starting a shop + deadlines. loved to see how all the details played out and what you thought about along the way!! feel so relieved rn

[evelynn-perez]

I love your advice on keeping the business private from your community. It is something I want to do especially bc in my little town, no one likes to support small businesses and see them succeed. Will definitely keep this in mind

[JadaBstudio]

I can totally relate to what you said about spending more time thinking about what you want to do instead of planning the steps to take you there. Great video! I hope to see more and follow your journey! ✨️

i love how personable your content iss. as someone young starting a business, i’m realizing how much i have to isolate n focus a bit. no one else is trying entrepreneurship around me, so i can’t get distractedd

[lejardindhiverjeux]

I totally feel the same way about not telling anyone. It’s so important not to put extra pressure on yourself and just do it for you.

[AAROD-Z]

I learned about keeping our goals to ourselves when I was learning about self improvement. It’s been scientifically proven that if we don’t share our goals, we’ll actually reach them. Sharing with 1-2 close ppl is generally ok. I’m glad you touched on this topic. Iv only told two ppl for my small business endeavor. Still haven’t revealed the name to them, as I get the legal stuff secured.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 351 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

Hii!! I'm a freshman in high school and I wanna start a sticker sheet and art print shop as soon as I graduate high school as well. Thank you so much for your advice it really helped me get a clearer view of how to do things!! Please continue to create more such videos!! <33

I love this, I'm currently on a journey to pivot from a product business to a service business. Sometimes I think about putting up a product business but regardless of what kind of business you put up, the same emotions apply.

I also love that you were very open about your inconsistent motivation despite the number of followers you have. It's easy to assume that people like you who are ahead of the average people have it all figured out. But hearing that consistency is still the key that will drive your business to success is reassuring, especially for someone like me who's somewhat starting from scratch again.

[minyichen]

This was a super insightful video! I'm a uni student too and well I just restarted my goal of creating a small buisness, and the things you said really shed a light on thoughts I've been having about it. I've went through a lot of what you've talked about, the burnouts, the constant need for time, missing deadlines (it was a doozy).

Now I'm going to try again but this time with a little more insight and a whole lot of help from people who've created successful businesses which I do believe you are one of them!

[nohemieco]

I love this! thank you for being so transparent and honest, you're right most YT'bers who share their first orders its thousands of orders without disclosing how they grew a following prior to launching. And your tip on consistency, despite me hating instagram, was really sound i need to reactivate my IG and post consistently but put more effort on YT since I seem to enjoy that more! Keep up the great work!

[christineramos]

Just get started is KEY. I completely agree. Still beneficial to gather info to learn from other’s journeys and mistakes but 300% learning from your own mistakes is crucial. This applies to creating, marketing, etc. each personal failure is essential. Having the motivation to overcome failure is priceless & only learned through action. So happy someone said this bc I’ve watched countless videos and rarely have I heard “just do it”

[angeliemory]

This is very helpful and informative! 😊 Especially for me who tend to overthink so much. I use to procrastinate so much though ideas keep running through my head. With this video I learned how to stop over thinking and to be more consistent in creating and posting. Thank you so much for reminding me of deadlines and my personal goals. 😊

[teaonee]

and ALSO I love how you step through each tip and explain it! that makes this so helpful ❤️

[janellekiara]

I really love your idea about setting a hard deadline for when to actually go live with your small business in whatever format it may be. I am currently in the ideation phase and totally get what you mean about seeing how I could stay stuck here forever. And it really motivates you to get focused and narrow down your options so that you can actually have something tangible to move forward with. Definitely going to take that advice!

[divinencounters]

Thanks for this video! I’m in the process of starting a business so these tips were super helpful. I could definitely relate to thinking for too long instead of just going for it

[grumppyfox]

My husband and I have been want to start a small shop for over a year now but didn't know where to start but this has helped so much. Thank you so much for this video!
