If you’re anything like me, the thought of starting a YouTube channel seems pretty daunting. I wasted a lot of time worrying about what content I wanted to produce, and always had excuses about why I hadn’t started. The biggest excuse I told myself was that there’s nothing I can possibly contribute to YouTube that’s any better than what’s already out there. What an awful way of thinking!

We all are our own people with our own unique personalities. I know it sounds cliche, but there’s something all of us can provide to the world that’s special and interesting. Now, not everyone will care, but some people will. There are billions of us on this planet – I guarantee there are lots of people out there who are like you and who would be interested in you.

Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that you can always create something better than what’s already out there. Just because there’s a popular cooking channel on YouTube doesn’t mean that you can’t start grinding and getting better and ultimately becoming better than them. And if it’s impossible to be better than them, at least you can be different. Unique. Original.

That’s all it comes down to. Being unique, original, and being yourself. Watch my latest video for more on this!
