I'm not sure if I can keep going.

You Tube is hard. I feel like I've been in a huge transition phase at the moment, with my business. I've been questioning alot of things! In this video, I am being open and vulnerable with you... Sharing my thoughts on You Tube, online business, and how I'm feeling about it all.

I feel your pain. I was forced to give up on my own career efforts. And I have suffered greatly from depression when I gave up. I’m still struggling to find a new path forward.

Hey Sam, I am part of your newsletter and have been watching a lot of your videos recently. This is the first time I have commented. I created an INFJ channel last year, sharing my life experiences, and offering help on topics from my INFJ perspective. When I started out for months, I have been at 35 subscribers, and I too thought about how I can get subscribers, more views etc... But after having many reach out to me via email, and comments and seeing the small changes in their lives, you truly realize that you can make a difference. I am at 1500 subscribers now after a year and I am happy and didn't think I would get that. I honestly from the bottom of my heart would say, please don't give up. If you need to take a break from Youtube, that is totally okay and we all need a break once in awhile, probably why vacations exist when you work an office job to get away and unplug.

I have seen many INFJ, and Introvert channels out there, some have low subscriber counts but offer some of the greatest life lessons and content than the ones that sell out and have more subscribers making fun of Introverts in general just to make money. What you are doing is unique and authentic. Especially in a society where you get paid more for being unauthentic. You stick to your guns and honor your values which is truly admirable. There are not enough INFJ channels out there so I know that many of us are still searching. You put yourself out there and did something that many do not do. You cater your business of therapy strictly for INFJs which is admirable in many ways. I just finished a year and a half coaching training and wish to do exactly what you do, and help INFJs navigate through life. (Not promoting myself here 😂) Overall, what I believe is important is that you follow your intuition. Do what you feel is right in your heart, but just know that you are needed. We support you regardless and appreciate all that you have done.

I just want to say that I stumbled onto your channel a little over a year now and your words have made a difference in my life. I look forward to hearing your advice weekly. But inspiration is hard and I know you want to make this platform meaningful to you and your viewers. I will be there whatever you choose to do.

I think you've just made things much easier on yourself by sharing. It's like keeping a journal or diary, but you also get feedback. The only advice I would share with you is to keep your cool and work things out for yourself; don't stress about it. Only you can figure out what's right for you in the end.
I will leave you with a quote from one of the many movies in my library..."And remember fair maiden, should you need us...yes, should you need us, for any reason at all..." Labyrinth

Hi Sam, thanks for your vulnerability. I really admire how much you put yourself out there. Take care. ♥️

Thank you for your honesty : ) I hear this a lot from other YouTubers too. I like your idea of adding another layer to your channel. I was thinking it would be interesting to hear about any book recommendations, either fiction or non-fiction, including poetry books, or telling or showing us how to make a healthy drink, or snack. Often, as a viewer, and as silly as this sounds, it can be meditative just watching a YouTuber making a cup of coffee, or seeing images of nature, even of a flower in a garden. As an INFJ, I know your channel has been helpful for me. For which I am truly grateful. I must say, you do look very rested after your family holiday in Bali. How lucky your children are to have a mother who makes them a priority. Look forward to future videos 🦋

I just found you, in this video. I started as a new YouTuber 6 months ago, and I’m hoping to use it as a motivation to stay creative and not isolated from others.
I’m hoping for future fruit…
I am also fascinated by the relationships people have with YouTube “influencers”.
Exploration of how to help illuminate how people connect in this new fractured media landscape, on the cusp of a fascist revolution across the globe.
Pretty cool that you made it to Bali! 😊
Good luck organizing your thoughts and dreams!
You seem nice 😬😎👍❤
Following your passion is/seems harder than it should be sometimes! 😂

I've learned to quit when my whole world collapsed in every kind os possible way. From that time I do not follow this civilization and stay away as much as possible from social media apart from what's nourishing my body, mind, soul, and spirit.

Thank you for sharing your personal journey. There are so many of us in similar situations and it's very painful and feels so frustrating and unfair when you give so much authentic effort and heart (and quite frankly high quality output) to a project and YouTube or whatever other platform or company doesn't seem to notice you or give you a fair chance, while those who don't care as much or don't hold themselves to as high standards seem to sail into success while much less effort. But, we all have a different life purpose and some of us were meant to struggle much more in order to develop our Souls even further because we're a little farther along on our spiritual evolution journey. We wouldn't have agreed to the task in the first place if we didn't know we could manage it. We're here helping lift the vibrations of the planet just by being ourselves and bringing in our healing frequencies. Our time will come to receive more in return. I'm trying really hard to not take it personally and give myself the self love and appreciation that I feel we haven't received until now. In the end, it is all about love and love of self is the basis for the capacity for all other forms of love. I, too, feel you are a gift and hope you will stay a little longer (and of course that you start receiving more in return for all of your creative and sensitive content), but that said, I understand how it is to want to draw the line at some point. Much love and good luck with everything. Thank you for shining your light. 💗🌈💫
