One thing you probably don’t realize is that I constantly doubt whether or not my video is “good enough” to be uploaded. After speaking with some people, it seems like all of us feel the same way about what we do. Even this one; it’s more off topic from my real estate/finance topics but I uploaded it to prove a point. You just gotta do it anyway.

Any bit of self doubt will slowly destroy you. Once it starts, it’s pretty easy to get caught up in your head and it’s easy to then begin holding yourself back (nah, I won’t upload this video..I’ll just make another one in a few days). It’s then that you realize that you get in your own way, you are your own worst enemy.
So how do you get over it? You just do it. Even if you don’t feel confident or know it’ll work. It’s not about having the best video ever. It’s just about doing it. It’s about committing to something about doing it no matter how you feel. Even if you mess it up. It’s not always about doing the right thing, it’s better to move in that direction. No matter what you’re doing - don’t get in your own way, fam. Thanks for watching, more real estate/finance videos on the way!

    Thank you for this video for real. I've been doing videos here and there for a few years now, and I have probably 2-3x more unlisted and private videos (even some just plane deleted).
    I upload them, then I think wow I'm stupid, the quality isn't good, or the sound is off, or I blame my lack of editing… Anyways yeah I get it and I am working to get passed that. I've actually been trying to reach out to you for a possible short conversation!
    I tried an Email but I guess it was an invalid one because the Email came back unsent.
    I messaged on Facebook/Instagram.
    Big Fan, talk soon hopefully.

    Edit: Forgot I changed my YT name, my Facebook account is Jacob Mathery

    Great stuff! Self-doubt sucks. Just do it. The consequences for most things we are afraid of really aren't that bad–just go for it.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Finance Gamer says:

    Everyone goes through this doubt when starting something different. They are afraid of failure and rejection. But like you said, these doubts keep us from doing the things we really want to do. Thanks for sharing this story man. It's nice to know that we're not the only ones experiencing this.
