3/ But if I were starting over I would tell myself to:

Be kinder
Follow my intuition
Celebrate milestones
Step back to avoid burnout
Don't compare to other's journey
Patience is king and action is queen
Accept that other’s success doesn’t make mine less

Don't forget to save this for later.

Shorts are overrated.

Most people focus on shorts.
But YouTube is telling creators to think of TV.

People binge watch Love is Blind and other shows.

Long form is not dead!
