I started With What I had, You Should Too

There’s this thing about procrastination that makes you see reasons for postponing set out tasks/goals with so many excuses. I am not a motivational speaker but here I am here to inspire you to start with what you have. JUST START no matter how small.

I have been wanting to start a YouTube channel focused on Social media for SMEs for about 2 years now. I was afraid and very uninspired to start because I thought I didn’t have the necessary skills and gadgets to start. I just kept brooding about how I needed to get a ‘badass’ camera, tripod stand, microphone, how I needed to learn graphic design to create beautiful art covers, how I needed to learn to edit videos professionally, how I am very camera shy and how I stutter when I am in front of the camera and when I talk to people. I also wanted a to have a mini studio etc.

I was so engrossed with excuses so much that I didn’t think of the ‘little things’ I had that I could start with

So about 3 months ago, my phone packed up and so I got a new phone with a better camera quality and decided to also get a mobile tripod stand too just in case I might just be ready to start out. I recorded a few video tutorials in September and just left them on my laptop because I thought they weren’t good enough, the audio output was bad and I also couldn’t edit them to save my life.

Then came October, I just learnt a new way to create a Google My Business page and get it verified in minutes, I shared my excitement on my WhatsApp Story and got so many questions from my contacts who wanted to know how to set up a Google My Business page for their businesses and also get it verified.

That was the trigger, If I were to respond to everyone individually, I wouldn’t do anything else the whole day or 2, so I told them to hold on for about a week so I could put a video together to help them through the process.
