I've been struggling with this my whole life. Your questions helped me realize what I've been going back to all these years and not giving it a chance as a path. Thanks a bunch, Gillian.
Thank you so much for this video. I am struggling with so many ideas, and I know that if I don't focus on each in certain of time, I might end up nothing's great. I am a creative maker and a big picture thinker. Having lots of thoughts and ideas is my strength and weakness as well. Again, thank u for ur suggestion
Saw the title and was like, "Me!" Haha Edit after watching: awesome and inspiring video. Thank you! I have already started on my "go-to idea" and it is my answer to all three points that you mention so this just cements it in my mind!
Perfect advice. I work a full time job and run 3 Etsy Shops. My day job takes so much of my time that I end up overwhelmed with ideas after work and end up getting none of them done. I love the idea of making a job description!
That’s such a great assessment (of how industries are imagined vs. reality). I’m also someone who wants to do many things, but the great thing is that ideas, projects, careers can be spread out across different stages of life, e.g focusing on one thing for the next 5 years but then starting something different after that. Life will be long for the majority of us in this generation and there is time to pursue multiple things :)
Definitely like the three month idea. I'm always trying to do everything at once. It doesn't usually work out. Especially with a five month old and two year old at home.
This was some of the best life advice I've ever gotten. Thank you! So simple too. Im excited to try out some of my idéas now without fear instead of procrastinating all of them!
I just have to say you are simply GLOWING MAMA!!!! I love your videos and use many of your free resources until i get myself off the ground then i plan on buying a class! Thank you for your videos!!
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed this right now. Turns out I "suffer" from too many ideas, too! I've been questioning my decision of having taken action on one of the ideas, and your words were encouraging!
Thank you Gillian! Great advice. I like the idea of "test-driving" ideas, this way we do not regret not having tried. All the best to you with the work that you do!
That satiny jacket, overshirt thing (sorry fashion terms are not my strong suite) is SO cute on you! I love how it looks. Gorgeous color too. This video came at the perfect time! I am bursting with ideas for my TH-cam channel, then I have 2 books outlined but can't decide which to start with, an editing project, books to read, etc. It's the best & worst problem all at once! 😂💙
Hey Gillian! I'd like to know how you prepare your business for the time after the baby arrives? I'm pregnant in my third trimester and I'm afraid that once the baby is there, my business will comes to a stagnation. I'm a side hustling solopreneur and a bad time manager. My first pregnancy was with twins and I know how stressful and time consuming it is once the baby is there. So any tips on time management or how to cope with maternity leave and still finding time to work on growing your biz ? Love your vids!
When you’re “dating” an idea, is it good to invest in it? Like for blogging, is it good to invest in hosting and social media? Or should it just be the writing portion to worry about?
Thanks for the great tips! I have a few ideas I'd like to pursue but it seemed impossible. I have learned that you should do what you love so that it's more rewarding
This is excellent. One of my favorites ever. You are a lovely, well spoken young lady (from an almost 50 year old empty-nest Mom). One pet peeve I have with TH-camrs in general is the extreme overuse of the words “without further ado”. That is my one little tidbit of constructive criticism / request! I feel you are a highly capable young woman that could leave that one out, for what it’s worth. And because the typed word here is hard to convey “emotion” please know this is said affectionately from my heart and not snarky 😉 Blessings! Keep up the great work.
I have always wanted to be an author and I have even self-published 6 books in my series, but I want so much more! I've tried and tried to get a lit agent and after numerous rejections, still no luck. I feel like I have hit a brick wall and have no idea how to get around it. I will never give up, as I know I can't get to where I want to be without one, but it really is hard.
I always have too many ideas! I am also so multipassionate. I worry because on one hand, I want my biz to be more focused upon my Introverts and teaching about spiritual development and entrepreneurhip. I love teaching and inspiring and empowering. But I feel called to also do social commentary and teach people about the happenings in our society. But I love, love writing, spiritual growth, personal growth subjects, personality psychology etc. Blogging is amazing and I love talking on videos but I use a chromebook. The videos on my galaxy s7 edge are ok but I would like to edit them nicely. Can you tell me what you use to create your videos?
WoundedHealer i have the same issue with being multipassionate 😂 what I've decided to do is start with a business idea that i feel most comfortable doing at the moment and completely focusing on that. In the future when that idea hopefully kicks off and I'm more steady in that business, start working on some of my other ideas that make sense to do at that time. In some spare time, I do sometimes research about those other business ideas just to get more educated and get some ideas jotted down for the future. It seems to be a good plan for now, let's see how it goes 😊
I literally just found your videos and in the first one i watched (just before this one) you said you ate to fill your time in college because you were bored lol
What if you have too many niches i know it’s not ideas but what if you have too many and you’re good at all of them how do you throw all that on a channel?
Keep in mind that your channel doesn't have to encompass your whole life or entire personality. You can have a channel with one main focus, and express your other talents in other ways, or even just on other channels. :)
okay Perkins. my ideas was always set up on one thing. is to be in your job list. right now, I just want me to file out your application package. it's was what I was looked for all over your link. I need you send me now directly you application for 3 to 6 months job for my first step. yes, I want pursue it. Because I want to know who's really behind the curtains of ms perkins. and try to discover her new continent Jupiter space astronomical with passion. are you ready for it? let's do it 💑 💌...
Thanks for the information and helpful video. This has helped me better organize/ prioritize my goals.
I've been struggling with this my whole life. Your questions helped me realize what I've been going back to all these years and not giving it a chance as a path. Thanks a bunch, Gillian.
Me too
I'm 43. I think I know what I want to be when I grow up.

The thing that jumped out to me the most was when you said - write your day in the life out. What an excellent idea!
Saw the title and was like, "Me!" Haha

Alisha Conn I've heard and read lots of negative reviews about Etsy, especially from sellers. How true is that? Thanks.
Lenysea I have not had any issues and truly enjoy it, but I also only do it part time

Best advice on this topic I’ve ever heard, hands down. Kudos!!!
This was real value. Thanks Gillian.
Wow! This is exactly something that I’m taking time to figure out before I commit to my next project! Great topic. Thanks Gillian!

It's a gift and a curse all at once! I feel like I will never get to every idea which is sad but at least I'll get to my best ones. 😊💜

Another awesome video. Thanks!
Loved Tip #2 especially! Thanks for the bonuses!
Thank you! :)
Thanks for the great tips! I have a few ideas I'd like to pursue but it seemed impossible. I have learned that you should do what you love so that it's more rewarding
That is so true! But please don't feel like your ideas are impossible. Everyone starts at zero. You are capable of anything!
Gillian Perkins thanks so much for the encouragement!
Oooo I like the date idea! Lol thanks , and for reminding me not to take my ideas so seriously
Thnks Gillian, this is what i need

This is excellent. One of my favorites ever. You are a lovely, well spoken young lady (from an almost 50 year old empty-nest Mom).
