Hi Guys!
It's Gabriella
Welcome to my
Channel
In today's video I just wanted to
go ahead sit down talk story with
you guys
it's been almost a month so far
since
I
consistently posted on my
YouTube
and I just wanted to tell you
guys about the journey so far you know
talking about things I've
what the experience is like first of all and
number two like
the things that I've learned so far from doing this platform
so if you guys want to just hear
a talk story
or just want to hear somebody talk
then I am your person
so you know what
go get your tea
go get comfortable and
we are gonna go ahead and jump into the
video
okay so
first things first
before
we start I wanted to talk about
why I am doing this video
and why in fact I am
doing a whole YouTube journey
so this video was actually inspired by Tati who
most recently
if you don't know who Tati is
she is a beauty guru and most
recently she posted a video about her
YouTube journey and she started back in
2010
and for me it was just
ultimately very ultimately I'm sorry
ultimately very very inspirational
Im inspired about the hard work it takes
for people to
work hard to be where they
want to be
and those are things I
kind of think I lack within myself like
I am NOT a hard worker
I am a lazy
person like
my little sister knows that
if I don't have anything to do I will
sit on the couch for hours and just
flip through Netflix
there's a belief
that I used to have only if you're this
person you can be this person
and if
you're not that person then you're not that person
but from watching a lot of
youtubers on their Channel
prove to
others out there that
if I can do it you
can do it too
there is a belief in my head that needs
to be broken
so for me
why I started this YouTube journey is because
I feel like I have something
to prove to
myself you know like
and it's not
proving myself to like anybody else
it's really just proving myself to
me that you know if you are willing to
work hard for a dream
if you are
willing to work hard to be somebody that
you've always wanted to be
you know you
can do it
so if I were to sum up
everything that I said and not babble on
about why I started this journey and why
I'm doing this video it's just a
reminder to myself that the reason why I
did this is for growth not perfection
but for just growth growth as a person
growth as
in fashion growth in beauty
growth in talking to a camera and
sounding like a natural person you know
so
there's just this full spectrum of
things but at the end of it all
like why I started this journey is for
growth
just one word all of that just I just
had to say it one word
growth
okay so now I'm going to go ahead and
talk to you guys about what is the
experience like so far
so although I
started it back in 2017 I'm really only
going to focus on 2019 so far
and that's
because I actually started taking it
seriously
so 2019
posting weekly
just posting weekly for me
I I kind of had to really
really warrior it out
I'm battling myself every day
trying to prove that
that lazy part of me that you you gotta
get up and film you know but so it's
been a it's been a lot of hard work
because there's like you learn a lot of
things it's like
opening a big can of worms
you know you have to learn
lighting that's what they say it's all
about good content it's about
consistent
content it's all about
thumbnails it's
all about SEO engines
and like that is
that really like convolutes my head
overwhelms me
and that's
that's probably
the hard the hard work in it all is
creative content
filming
producing
you're
like a full spectrum business when you
do something like this
so you are truly
working hard
and behind it all is hard work
and that's kind of what I'm
learning hardwork
discipline all those
kind of values
there was one quote that
that really
really really
inspired me and it came from Sean Canell
and it wasn't really a quote it was more like a post
if you're just
starting out your first year it should
be all about experimenting and finding
out who you are as a creator
and to me I
found that super super profound because
I spent so much time trying to perfect
something you know everything that I did
like I was trying to do it to the top
notches that everybody was doing you
know that that was popular
but I was
reminded
that you have to remember that
it's a progress you know progress
progress progress progress it's all
about progress you know
so whether my
video suck
whether I don't have any
content
whether I don't get any views
the focus should just be more of
experimenting and getting used to the
camera you know or getting used to the
software that you use or just getting
just getting used to doing something
that is totally totally different so
that's one of the biggest things I've
learned and
so I started out by
scripting my videos like these past four
videos I've kind of scripted I don't
think scripting is for me because I
it sounds weird I sound like I'm giving a
speech as opposed to just sitting down
and talking to you guys and
social media
is all about just being able to share
who you are and
although I had the
points down the who I was wasn't there
and so that's why I am doing this video
is because
you'll probably see a lot more
videos of me just talking
I'll probably
try outlining just so I don't babble on
and don't have to edit so much in post
but
that's where I'm at
and
this video
is kind of going on for so long but
I just wanted to
sit down talk story with you guys
about that
and
yeah
you will definitely see more videos of me
looking like a fool
but that's okay
cuz I'm just gonna keep on posting
and just showing up for this
platform just because I'm passionate
about it I'm like
Urgh! If I could like
*growl
I'm really passionate about it and I'm
not only passionate
but I'm really serious
about making a difference in my own life
and hopefully I really do hope that
it will
help you guys
be not afraid to
you know
don't be afraid to take a risk and
do something that you've always wanted to do
even if you suck at it
even if you mother-effing suck at it
it's okay
the main thing is that you
keep working at it and
if I were to
leave with a message
it was just it would just be that
just
keep working at it
work hard
and
keep moving forward
