the ‘create more than you consume’ is so important!!

I feel so stressed trying to do KZread, TikTok, and IG… lol I can only do one at a time. TikTok is easier with growth but I feel like KZread you really can grow a community which I don’t really find that on TikTok that often

@@hiremattjez that's the idea I had, repost from here then over to TT and IG, I'm glad you mentioned that.

The day you posted the video about quitting your job I called my boss to inform him that I would no longer work in his company. Your words gave me courage to make that call. but then all my fears came in and eventually didn’t leave my job. But I was watching all your videos throughout the year and saw the transition you went through. Now, almost a year later, I finally quit my job and I’m confident to say that you really paved the way for others who have all these fears to know what to do next, i love your energy and will be forever grateful for the life lessons you have taught me and everyone watching your videos. 💕 love

Lynette, I started watching you when you quit your job and you have inspired me since to quit my minimum wage job for a better paying, more social hours job, started creating content and going on my journey. The past year I stopped making content due to being in a toxic relationship, but now I’m out of that I’m watching this video and I feel so inspired to pick up where I left off and continue on this journey. Thank you for inspiring me, thank you for continuously showing up for yourself and inspiring me to do the same, you’re amazing! Xxx

Samee, I came across a video by MewTripled she explained how she works on her side hustles as an artist while having a 9 to 5 job, complete with her schedule too! Maybe you can check out her channel :) I personally find MewTripled’s explanation helpful about how she manages her time productively

So I just quit my job like yesterday. And I wanted to get on yt to see if anyone had videos on this topic to see if anyone felt the same as I do. I started with your video from last year right when you quit. It helped me to see that I wasn’t alone I’m not crazy. You just feel that it’s right. There’s something else that is meant for you. That there’s options and you don’t have to settle for traditional jobs. Even before I left. I would look at indeed and realize. I don’t want to do none of that. I would also love to create content. Definitely am going on a self care journey. So why not film it. Hopefully help someone else. And now I have the time to do it that’s not half ass. So thank you.

I’ve been off of work from my corporate job since May of 2021 on medical leave and have no desire on going back. In that time frame I focused on my businesses and content creating. I have no desire to go back because I have no desire to do it anymore and I would work 10-16 hour days often getting burnt out with work alone on top of being a mom. Good for you on getting out and finding what works for you. I love redemption stories and I wish you much success, well us success. Keep up the good work babe you got this 🙏🏾❤️.

Thank you so much for this video Lynette, going through a rough life transition patch and listening to you talk about your journey really just gave me the energy I needed to get up tomorrow morning and face life again m, wish me luck!

So happy that I found you! So honest & raw! I love that ❤! I’m in the learning stages of creating content so this couldn’t have come at a better time! Time to nail it!!!

Thank you for this love, you are very inspiring and I have really enjoyed watching you grow on your journey. My journeys been on and off for a while for multiple different reasons but these sort of videos really give us all reasons to keep growing and glowing 💫🌻 thank you for your authenticity love.. you GLOW GIRL ✨☺️🙏🏼🤍

Hi Lynette! I really resonated with what you said in this video. I’ve been watching you for some time and you are always so inspiring especially on my lowest days. Just wanted to say thank you for being here!

Thank you so much for this video! Love your informative content and words of encouragement! Especially the reminder about - yes some people blow up quick but not everyone for, this being a long game. You’re an inspiration. Congratulations for making it this far!

I haven’t posted a video in a year but I keep feeling this nagging pull that I should be doing this and that I need to pick it back up again. I just came across your channel today and I love how open you are about your experiences. Thank you for bringing inspiration to me. PS you are so so beautiful! 💜

This was absolutely motivating. Thank you abundantly for sharing and most importantly for being yourself. 💌

Thank you for being so transparent with us. You are literally helping us elevate and know what is possible, what we should look into before taking the steps ahead. Very informative video.

thank u for being so transparent! Its amazing to see u grow

You seriously inspire me and keep me going on this journey! Hopefully things look up for me soon! ❤️✨✨

Thank you for the transparency with numbers. You are truly an inspiration. Keep up the amazing work! Wishing you nothing but love and success ❤️

“Ok Lynette is doing this so many be I should do this” that WAS me! Thank you for sharing!!! Let’s do this!!! Wish you all the abundance and success girl!

Wow!! this came at the perfect time ✨ it is truly so appreciated, there are no other content creators that are so passionate about sharing this wisdom like you do. This was so encouraging to me in figuring out the direction of my channel 💗 Your words are not only based on superficial outcomes, but come from the place within which is what matters the most. Thank you!

It’s only been 1 min of the video and I’m feeling this warm sensation in my eyes like when one is about to cry because I just started my journey but it’s so freaking scary I feel like this out in my stomach of what I can achieve and all the struggles that I have been through together in a big bowl os fears and dreams! I feel this way and having someone like you that can share the good the bad and the ugly has no price! 🙏

I love the background music you chose for this! So soothing!

As someone who’s trying to grow their channel, this was SO helpful and inspiring! Thank you for providing a realistic perspective but also encouraging me to do what I want to 🤞

Wow I love how genuine you are explaining all of this! Time management is a struggle for me currently as I expend so much time and effort at my full time job. I’m deciding to be more serious with content creation so it’s nice to hear someone talk about it all honestly.

I rarely take the time to comment on other creators videos (this is something i'm working on) however I just have to say that I've been a follower of yours for around a year and a half and I'm so proud of you from afar, you're amazing and your openness and reflection is so admirable and also - I LOVE YOUR PLANTS! 🌿

Super helpful! Love that you didn't sugar-coat anything. At the end of the day, it comes down to showing up over and over and over again, just like you said! Constantly need that reminder lol

I am soooo trying to become consistent with my content!!! I am excited to show the world with who I am!!! I absolutely love your morals etc. so relatable!!! I’m about to just go for it

i needed this... ngl the ending really hit.... everything has gone downhill for me this year..but I will continue... wishing you all the best

I love what you are doing and your vibe. You seem raw and honest and not with all the editing. Thank you keep up the great work💕👊🏼

I just recently discovered your channel and WOW. Everything you say is everything I’ve been feeling. I’ve been trying to blog for the last 7 years on and off and I haven’t seen much progress. It’s so frustrating to continue to be working full time in something I’m not passionate about. It feels like freedom isn’t coming quick enough for me lol. But hopefully someday soon 🙌🏻

Today I decided to truly dedicate the time and effort into growing my brand and this video truly helped! Thanks so much for this!

Thank you. You've really encouraged me. I was about to quit my yt journey because I am not seeing a lot right now, but I'll keep going. There is a light at the end.

Thanks for the transparency because you have to be in it for the long haul. That’s great advice for everything in life.

i relate to you so much regarding when u had 2k subs but were still so excited to post. i love posting and connecting with the people that watch my videos. something about youtube sparks my soul. i believe our souls have desires for a reason. thanks as always, not only was this inspiring and a reminder that this is all going somewhere but also super real and great insight

I'm not sure if I wanna do this full-time but the idea is really exciting 💛 I have a question around creating a company/llc when you first get monetized is a good idea?

It's really cool that you've gotten to this point - but also that you were so passionate about it before you got to this point. I think I was here when you were at about 20,000 :)

Awesome lessons, thank you Lynette. Quote I read once - Consistency comes from Authenticity.

I been super focused on growth that I forgot to be present and remember its a journey. to enjoy the process. I been getting so frustrated with myself and kinda being hard on myself this whole time. as always thank you for your transparency & sharing your story! I feel even more inspired to keep going 🥲❤️

Been a fan since day one! such an amazing content creator to watch and i love, you share the truth about the struggles being a KZreadr x Recently, just started my channel 7 months ago. But definitely it is work. I'm on a 9-5 job now. But as you said if you are passionate about it keep doing it!!!! love mc xo

Thank you for the advice and support 🤍 the tip of creating more content than you consume resonated with me… I do take tons of photos and videos, but I need to make a more consistent habit of editing them and posting consistently. I love watching KZread and engaging in the communities here, but sometimes I feel like I get caught down a hole of consuming more content instead of working on my own progress 🙃 So maybe here is part of my sign to set some boundaries there ❤️❤️ love your videos, you encourage me! Glad you love your work, keep going :))

Thank you for this!! Your journey is so inspiring 🙌🏽 keep doing you

If only a lot more content creators, e-commerce business owners, and anyone using a digital platform for income would just be realistic and honest about the start, the beginning and truth about the journey. I truly believe if so we wouldn't have as many depressed people or people suffering mental health problems. It takes time and it's work. Yes it can be successful for you ( having a successful digital platform) simply do the work and give it time. Thanks Lynette. I think this video of yours will help those who are depressed about numbers, likes, followers and comments. This video topic is so honest, raw, truthful and straight. A dream, want, need or desire can be real and it can come true put in the work and give it time to happen. Such a healthy wealth of information in this video. Thank you.( apologies for the length of this comment)
