The number 1 secret how YouTube changed my introverted life the last 6 months.
I bet you have never heard it before:
Self-Actualization.
THAT is how creating on YouTube is changing my life as we speak…
What does self-actualization mean (to me)?
It reminds me of a quote:
“It is easy to live for others, everybody does.
I call on you to live for yourself.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Understanding more about my life.
Deep realizations of WHY I did WHAT I did.
Why I WANTED what I got.
And even more powerful: what I NO LONGER want anymore.
By the way, if you’re new here,
I am Jordan, 23 yrs old, did over $4M in Revenue,
Hired over 50 people and make videos on YouTube since 2012.
Even though I started to create videos 12 years ago.
I only realized the following recently:
Creating on YouTube is a way for me to no longer waste time while removing the ‘need’ for money simultaneously.
I hit 2 birds with 1 stone.
Self-Mastery & Financial Freedom are the birds.
My creation process is the stone.
That is the ‘secret’.
How is this so?
I start my days by writing about my most urgent questions or most acute problems.
This leads to a deeper understanding about the things that matter most to me.
I share the letter on my website, it’s free but only for serious people.
From this letter, I record my YouTube video.
And from the short poems I write, I record my short-form content for the other social media platforms.
All of this creates leverage.
Because 1 letter gets repurposed into content for all the social media platforms.
And all of this is building the foundation for financial freedom.
Why?
Because posting on social media is permissionless.
You can post your video on YouTube for free without permission.
In the beginning, you are not earning money.
BUT you are building goodwill.
A reputation.
This looks like a vanity metric to some.
And most are even unaware of it.
But people buy from PEOPLE.
From people they know, like and/or trust.
This is the foundation you are building.
And you can monetize this foundation however you wish.
I won’t discuss that in this letter.
Because it is not about ‘HOW’ to do this.
There is an infinite ways of ‘how’s’.
And not 1 best way.
The ‘how’ will show itself, when you burn your bookshelf.
Serious people find their own way.
They may get inspired, which is why I may write about it in the future.
So the most important truth you may find for yourself, is that you can stop wasting your time.
Let’s unpack this.
“How can I stop wasting my time, by creating on YouTube?”
First you have to see for yourself what ‘wasting time’ means to you.
I can’t do this.
I can only share what it means to me.
And I have found that it is often easier to find out the opposite.
In this case: NOT ‘what feels not as wasting time?’
INSTEAD ‘What felt like a waste of time, looking back at my life?’.
I have realized for myself that I WANTED money, status, and ‘stuff’ for external reasons.
Because other people implied that building a big company, get to $ Billionaire status or make a lot of impact in the world is GOOD.
And I believed all this…
But I never questioned.
Merely a quick thought.
But never looked into it.
Into this emptiness.
But don’t BELIEVE me when you hear this.
Don’t start to believe it will be an empty pursuit for you too.
Because it is about UNDERSTANDING.
NOT BELIEF.
Why?
Because you will always believe and never know.
If you now belief me and see everything that most people want as empty, you will do the same as the person who believes someone telling him his house is built on concrete while in fact it is built on sand.
Some day his house will collapse…
THIS is my point.
My creation process has made me see all the flaws in the foundation of my house.
You see what I mean?
In seeing through the lies and beliefs, I get closer to the truth.
And seeing the truth has been the only thing I have found to NOT be a waste of time.
Everything has a truth to it.
Not what is agreed upon.
Not what is accepted.
But the truth.
Reality.
Life.
Can you imagine how writing about the most important things in your life EVERY DAY can help you make the necessary realizations about your own life which can lead to inner peace and freedom from all the problems and pain & stress you experience?
You are unserious if you believe me.
You are serious if you ask yourself.
I talk more about some of these truths I have found for myself here.
It’s a complex topic and only for serious people.
So please don’t follow me if you are unserious.
You know if you are unserious if you feel spoken to by the previous sentence.
Here’s my poem that summarizes the essence of my letter.
The #1 Secret How YouTube Changed My Life as an Introvert (a poem)
YouTube changed my introverted life,
Brought self-actualization, deeper sight
Money and status, once fueled my life,
Now I seek truth that NEVER dies.
No more chasing wealth and fame.
Inner peace became my aim.
Closer to truth is where I want to fly.
Creating on YouTube has opened this very eye.
If you want to know why,
