In this episode I'm talking all about getting out of a "flop era" - which is basically a time in your life where things aren't clicking - you may be working hard, and not seeing the results of it. I had a flop era in 2018 and really second-guess if I should even do YouTube at all. It was super stressful at the time and I was losing subscribers. This is how I climbed out of that and was able to, years later, reach my goal of making $1 million in one year. Although I will note, not every year is like that!
