Think Like a Content Creator (Before You Are One) | Ep. 17


Listen Later

The loop of consuming, doubting, and delaying ends when you flip the switch from consumer to creator. In this solo episode, Trevor Grimes shares how to think like a content creator before you have an audience—turning daily life into fuel for content and moving from “I can’t” to “what if I tried?” He lays out five mindset shifts that changed everything for him: quantity over clarity, inspiration is earned, your story is a strategy, consistency builds confidence, and done is better than perfect.

Trevor gets practical with a 30 day content practice plan: idea dumps, five posts in seven days, choosing a core topic, and building a simple system that trades motivation for discipline. Expect straight talk on posting when the lighting’s weird, showing up when it’s quiet, and building trust in yourself—1% better each time. If you’ve been waiting for permission, this is the decision: post it, learn, and keep going.
