Hi friends,
when I started this YouTube thing 3 months ago, I told myself that I wouldn’t be focusing too much on numbers, but rather on uploading consistently. So far this has been working very well, however you sort of can’t get around seeing how your numbers are doing.
Today we reached 1500 subscribers on Youtube! Thanks first of all to everyone supporting the channel so far. Furthermore the newsletter community is growing steadily as well, which is amazing. I actually thought it would take me a lot longer to achieve this amount of subscribers, but here we are.
Before uploading videos, I told myself that I would publish 10 videos in 10 weeks. Regardless of how they perform, as long as I show up every week. In my mind I told myself; if I would reach 500 subscribers by then, I have no choice but to continue.
So what’s the résumé from this journey so far? I’m not totally sure yet, but I guess if there’s one thing that I’ve learned, it is that showing up matters. Now what I mean by that; if there is something you have in mind, but you’re not quite sure if you’ve got what it takes, go for it. Show up consistently and try to improve only by the slightest with every step you take. I guarantee that you will walk away from it with tons of new impressions gained and lessons learned.
If you’ve read the snippets issue from 2 weeks ago, you might remember that I will be hosting a course for students that want to apply for medical universities in Austria. In the beginning I wasn’t entirely sure, if I actually have something of value to provide. But currently I feel really confident and also excited. I believe that teaching is something that I really enjoy and would even do if I got no money for it. So right now, I am trying my best to make the course as informative as possible. I let you know how it went in next week’s issue.
Thanks for 1500 guys. Next up is 1 million… :D
