The creative path to entrepreneurship is filled with confusion and noise. Every content creator guru out there will tell you that it's possible to use content to make money. But still, where does one start?
I'm Chris. A creative at heart. And a little scatterbrained. I have found the journey to content creation and creative entrepreneurship to be not so clear. Though I don't call myself a content creator, it's part of what I do and how I grow my businesses.
I share in this video a few keys to why the internet guru's are confusing and how I have come to find that creative entrepreneurship fits me and how I use that to focus on what I want and not what the internet tells me. Enjoy.

Awesome!
I think where I have struggled the most with content creation is feeling that I have to pick a niche and its hard for someone like me that has multiple interest.
I definitely know how that feels! Have you tried to niche down before? Or it's too hard to decide what to chose between?
Well this is an excellent vlog - you understand the intangibles of confusion and articulated it in a way I haven't seen on YT. Keep going Sir - subscribed.
really appreciate that!
Subscriber number 50! Love the content and keep it coming Chris!! 🙌🏽
Let’s goooo! Haha thank you.
I think it has to do with having interests that represent different values within you. Your hat business makes you feel a certain way, your job, etc. I think focusing on the ways each endeavor makes you feel as opposed to what they do for you intrinsically is the most important because I think that's where you find what is most meaningful and joyful for you in the end. Here's to 52!
Ya that’s a good point! Sounds like a good video topic
The trope of being a content creator eventually leads to burnout if you don't play the game the way those who chase vanity metrics do. Its not just the imposter syndrome that beats creators down. I lost inspiration creating content multiple times. The gurus don't resonate with me and they don't impact my mojo. Recently, I'm getting back in the swing because my interest isn't solocreation. I find other creators collab with them and connect them with the network of creators that I've collabed with.
To me, content creator implies forced creativity for profit. Much of the time there is little difference between the content that others are providing. The idea of the creative entrepreneur is one and the same. Creativity is a process, that takes time. Not to say that is not what some TH-camrs do, but most of the time the basis for most videos are parroted from others.
This is a great insight. How long did it take you to realize you enjoy collab more than solo?
Lots of content is copy pasta. My guess is that the ones who do it for a long time and make money are the innovators. The copy folks will burnout.
@@Poopdeck1015 I like how you phrased that, “content creator” = “creativity for profit”.
@@chrishume_ I don’t think it’s that black and white because if you look at guys like Alex Hormozi they are just copies of Grant Cardone and GC is a copy of Tony Robbins. It’s just there’s only so many ways to skin the cat unless you’re Mark Zuckerberg and you create the monetization models and distribution models. Financial success is found either way, really it’s the game that burns most of out because it’s built on gambling style odds. The more you play doesn’t mean the more you win.
So a personal brand?
That’s within it, for sure
Bro your content is actually very high quality, atleast if you compare it to mine yours is way better, but somehow you have not much views but you deserve atleast hundreds of thousands of views if im talking realisticly
Appreciate that!
word. Video professional?
I wouldn’t consider myself that! Haha. I’d hire a video professional if I wanted better production.
“im not a content creator, i just create content!”
“its a term that describes exactly what I want to do, but I am full of stuck up pride and want to consider myself better than that”
“I mean I can only come up with a word salad that makes it seem like I am not a content creator, but I am in fact doing all the things a content creator does”
“I am a content creator but I am too arrogant to admit it to myself”
😂 I don’t just do content creation. Nor do I consider myself better than content creators.
@@chrishume_ sure you dont thats why you created this content as a way to distance yourself from the label … because you dislike it being applied to you, because you think it lessens your value…
