Still watching haha, but I felt the same - being scared of starting, worrying what other people might think, and feeling like I don't have the credibility to share the things I do. But overtime, the confidence came with the practice, and I'm hoping I keep on making improvements as time goes by. TH-camrs like you and Ali Abdaal helped so much with helping me develop the confidence and to just go for it, so THANK YOU! And it makes us all so happy to see people like you doing so well on this platform! I hope anyone else trying to get somewhere on TH-cam keeps it going and maintains consistency!!!
"Are you looking for a reason why you can't, well I'm not going to give you that reason because YOU CAN." Life moves by very quickly. Thank you Lana 🌹🌹🌹
That dog barking analogy is so good "hey this may be a potential danger it's up to you to decide if it is or not". I think even just adopting this mindset of listening to what our fears are saying is powerful, we often suppress this so much yet just like the dog trying to be loyal are fears also have reason 💜
I just realised that I watched you since 2020, I watched you growing and changing and you are the only TH-camr that i watch her videos very often. I have been thinking of starting a youtube channel since then, but not yet. some day, however, i will. and i will say that Lana made me go for this dream & i love her even though she doesn’t know how much of an older sister role she played in my life!
The smile at 7:05 to 7:10 is so mesmerizing to me for some reason. Wish a had someone in my life who smiled like that, it would be one of those little things that makes every day life better.
A 22:46 long video that is full of wisdom. Anyone here who watches or watched this video, we have found the right answer for every questions that have always been playing in our heads. Lana herself is a living answer that what made her become for who and where she is now, is from the old Lana 3-4 years ago. I can still remember and you can watch her old vlogs too, we can see clearly how she improves her skills in talking in front of the camera now just like she's just having a casual conversation with a friend. What I want to say is that, if we never start now then we'll never get that answer. If we keep on doubting our self, then answer might always been a "No." But if we try to start and keep moving forward even if that's a little step forward, that answer might change into a "Yes." (Yes, you can do it.)
It's very obvious in this video how much you want to encourage and motivate people to take a chance to pursue their dreams, it's very wholesome and sweet :)
Congratulations, Lana. You are an inspiration. Creating content on TH-cam can indeed be scary. I too felt that way. But then, as you have shared, I tried to examine where my fear stems from. And it's mostly from the fear of criticism. I want to share three things that helped me started. (1) Know the motivation behind your aspiration. In my case, I want to create content because it allows me to grow, be creative, and learn new things. Writing down my thoughts and then speaking them helps me have more clarity over my thoughts and emotions. I find it helpful for self-discovery and growth. Reminding myself of my purpose or reason keeps me going. (2) Stop waiting for a perfect time to get started. What stopped me from starting was that I do not have a camera, a microphone, and a quiet place to record my videos. But then I started anyway. I am still using my android phone and there is still noise from the vehicles and kids playing outside. While I'm still dreaming of having a camera and a microphone, I do my best with what I have at the moment. Nothing is perfect, and it's okay. Just keep going and practicing. (3) It's okay to receive various reactions. Even the videos of those inspiring people don't always receive purely good reactions. And it's not because they are bad, sometimes it's just that their content is not the person's cup of tea. But this shouldn't stop us from doing what we love and becoming the person we have always envisioned. To be honest, putting myself out there still scares me, and probably in the future. But I remind myself of my core, my reason for doing what I do. Wishing you the best things in life ❤️
Actually, hey Lana You deserve more than 1 million as you deliver your idea in a very cool way, I've never watched TH-cam like you, he continued Lana And I wish more good luck ❤❤
Really enjoyed the video. Many good points. I liked how you answered the question of being a TH-camr vs a 9 to 5 job. I write novels and I can relate to the creative endeavor that consumes much of what you do. You are never off the clock. Sensory inputs that can feed into your creative process are all around 24-7. Self-discipline is important. Something I am still learning. As for starting something new (especially something creative), one thing to keep in mind is not to get wrapped around the axel of perfection. Getting good at something, even being able to do it, is a journey. Take the first step, then another, etc...
I absulutely am change so much while watching this channel provided my mental health and makes my life so much easier thank you so much for being an absulute superstar we all love you keep up the good work. 😊
Absolutely love your videos. I've been thinking of starting my own TH-cam channel for a while now but I decided to just commit myself to it and at least try it out. Happy for all your success, you're a real inspiration. Oh and that ending was Hollywoodesque..
You’re amazing. When I don’t feel like recording .. I ask myself WWLD? What would Lana do? And I put on the lipstick and record! Thank you and congrats
thankyou Lana, not just for this video, but in general, i am so thankful you exist and you decided to be on TH-cam, thankyou so much I run to your channel for comfort when suffering with bad anxiety, or when i want to slow down and just listen to something peaceful and trustable I write about your videos in my journal too and i am very grateful for you and your videos🌼💗
Thank you for sharing this. This is something not all TH-camrs are completely genuine about, sharing their insecurities and struggles on their journey to success bcz it could mean giving away their “secrets”. I remember watching you when you were under 100k subs. Congratulations Lana! ❤
Thank you for this video :) I am working on investing more time and effort into my creative journey as well, I am looking for ways to feel fulfilled :)
I'm watching all your videos again, your videos remind me about a lot of important things that I always forget 💖, some day it would be aweasome if you create a book.
Thanks for the advice. I'm going for it. I actually have all the fancy "stuff" to make a high production value youtube channel just never had the time until NOW. I've always viewed time as the number one asset we have besides health. Whoa 1.24 million subs GGs!
ปีที่แล้ว
I tottally agree with what you said about coming to your mind all these ideas to use for TH-cam when you are actually not doing TH-cam stuff. It happens to me all the time and it gets a bit frustrating to not have enough time for it. I still have other job so TH-cam is just a hobby now. Small channel but hopeful 💪🏼🙏🏼
first: again, CONGRATIOLATIONS on the 1M, you deserve every single one! second: thank you so much for sharing this! I struggle with staying motivated with my channel sometimes, but this definitely gave me yet another kick in the bum to get going. thank you for inspiring so many of us in so many ways, Lana 💛💛
Thank you so much for this video! I just got such a massive hit of inspiration and motivation from listening to you after just doubting my work for weeks and questioning if i should really follow that itch of creating content or not! Thank you so much for that! 💕
Congratulations Lana, this is so well deserved! And thank you for the extra motivation to keep working on my TH-cam channel - it is definitely important to keep going and not let fear or self-doubt get in your way (just like with other things in life). Wishing you all the best❤
Hey Lana, I love your channel and I'm so happy that you're seeing all this success!! I think I've been here since.. 167,000 subs? around there. You deserve all of it. As a TH-camr who started in September, I definitely agree with the consistency point and learning as you go. It's tough cause you want every video to be perfect, but it's always a journey :) thank you for being so inspiring, your advice has made such a positive difference in my life 💚
Thank you so much for this truly inspiring video Lana! Especially your last words really touched and motivated me. I think you articulate yourself in such a beautiful and intellectual way. Thanks a lot for your amazing content. 🙏🏼❤️
After a long time, I've been getting into a better and better place to start my hobbies up again (including making some TH-cam videos), and this was the thing that's pushing me off the fence to start that today! Working on a project right now, and I'm gonna go grab my camera . . .
Hey! Lana I am so so so excited to watch this video and your videos are too too helpful to me in my life and I love your videos so so much and I will support you till end 💕💫☺️
Hi Lana. Happy birthday. (Yesterday 😊) I didn't know. Found the date today, by coincidence. 1.2 million is a really nice number for a celebration. 🤩👍🎉🎊🎈🎈🎈🍰🍨🥂🍾 Greetings and congratulations from Colombia 🇨🇴
That's funny because I tried to do the same on my Instagram business account : speaking loud. Urgh... It is not me at all, I like to talk smoothly. Especially as my niche is astrology and spirituality I would like to talk on my social media the same as I talk to my clients in consultations. I believe it's the same for your channel and your topic.

Remember fellas. Don't get married. Don't have kids. It's not worth it. Globalmans case proved that.
Is youtube like a career?
That thumbnail smile alone is worth a million subscribers!

I was following this gem when she was at like 10k subscribers. I am not shocked that she is at a mill. 99 million more will follow.
"Are you looking for a reason why you can't, well I'm not going to give you that reason because YOU CAN."
Life moves by very quickly. Thank you Lana 🌹🌹🌹

This voice, vibe and calmness is so good. Thank you.
You look healthy, Lana. Cheers. Wish you a nice Year!
you're absolutely right. The initial sub goal posts are extremely challenging and persistence is a must!

The ending of this video was fire🔥
Fear is a major disabler. It is f-false e-evidence a-appearing r-real. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Love and light Lana!
Thanks for the advice. I'm going for it. I actually have all the fancy "stuff" to make a high production value youtube channel just never had the time until NOW. I've always viewed time as the number one asset we have besides health. Whoa 1.24 million subs GGs!

The last part!!! Yes ❤️
Congratulations Lana, this is so well deserved! And thank you for the extra motivation to keep working on my TH-cam channel - it is definitely important to keep going and not let fear or self-doubt get in your way (just like with other things in life). Wishing you all the best❤

Absolutely true, for those who start from zero even the first 100 subscribers are difficult to gain 💔
Hey Lana, I love your channel and I'm so happy that you're seeing all this success!! I think I've been here since.. 167,000 subs? around there. You deserve all of it.

Thank you for the inspiring honest sharing ! You inspire me.

Thank you for this video! I finally got over my fear of starting my own channel, after spending 2 months uploading and then deleting my videos 😅
always likes your video on whatever topic you presenting. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Sooo proud of you girl 🖤
Thank you!!
