Facing the Fear of Losing My Safety Net: Reality of building a youtube channel | Self-improvement

My journey as a content creator has been tough for me. It’s harder mentally because I know I’ve been so fortunate in many different ways. Even though my family likely thinks I’m crazy for letting go of a stable life to forge a new path, they still show me their support in their own ways. I don't have many obligations and responsibilities. These are just some of the many reasons why i̶ n̶e̶e̶d̶ I will make this work- whatever THIS is and wherever it may lead me. “We’ve put all our lives on the line and set out to sea, even though we don’t know anything! I’d rather give up being a pirate than have the old guy tell us stuff now! I won’t go on a boring adventure!” - Luffy from One Piece Episode 400 I struggled with making a video that’s just me talking about my feelings lol. But I hope by sharing a glimpse of the psychology of someone growing a Youtube channel, I can help someone who’s interested in going on the same path themselves. It took me so long (it really feels like) to get to where I am right now, and I still see a long way ahead of me. I’m unsatisfied with my current skills, which is exciting and defeating at the same time.
