Even now, looking at myself as a creator, I feel like I’m on the early flat part of the curve where things are just growing slowly. But — and I’ve seen this so many times that I actually think it’s like a preset trajectory — when things become successful, they seem to happen all at once. —@dabidoYT

Yes, you know the growth is exponential, but it feels hard to keep going when the result isn’t showing.
Change your focus a little.
Rather than focusing on “going up”, focus on going from the left part of the curve to the right part of the curve faster. So I hire a video editor and have done so for like two years now. Because I want to go from left to right, and therefore up, as fast as possible. —@dabidoYT

Remember “Journey before destination”.
Sure, we can work towards goals all we like. But while doing so, we should regularly reassess whether we’re enjoying the journey. If we’re not, we should do something to change that or reconsider whether the goal is really worth the sacrifice. In many cases, it might not be. —@AliAbdaal
