(upbeat music) 2 2
-: At the end of each section in this course 3 3
there's a side note lecture called 4 4
YouBeYou Walking Side Notes. 5 5
And they're all taken in one day on a walk 6 6
I went on here on vacation, 7 7
and they're basically random thoughts on 8 8
stuff that we wanted to add to the course, 9 9
but we weren't sure exactly where to place them, 10 10
so here's the first one. 11 11
I don't think you should ever try to make content 12 12
that you think will make a lot of money. 13 13
Once you start thinking that way, 14 14
you chase money. 15 15
You lose your dreams and your money. 16 16
If you chase your dreams 17 17
and vlog about whatever you want to vlog about, 18 18
within reason, and just be yourself, 19 19
then I promise you, 20 20
after a while, 21 21
you'll be extraordinarily successful. 22 22
And you know what? 23 23
The money will follow as well, accidentally. 24 24
Nobody's ever done something with their hearts, 25 25
just for the money. 26 26
The best entrepreneurs in the world, 27 27
the best musicians, 28 28
the best athletes, 29 29
they don't do it for the money. 30 30
They do it 'cause they love it. 31 31
So YouTube because you love it as well. 32 32
You be you. 33 33
You do you. 34 34
Never do it for the money. 35 35
Just be yourself. 36 36
And I promise you, 37 37
eventually you will be extraordinarily successful. 38 38
You just gotta be resilient. 39 39
You gotta be resilient. 40 40
You know, I tell a lot of my students, 41 41
when I used to teach during the evenings at universities, 42 42
I used to tell my students, 43 43
"If I told you that if you set up 10 informational meetings 44 44
"over the next 10 weeks with people over LinkedIn, 45 45
"if you network that way, 46 46
"if you did that, I would guarantee you 47 47
"that you would get the job of your dreams, 48 48
"would you do it?" 49 49
And every hand goes up. 50 50
That's the first day of class I say that. 51 51
And then at the very end of that semester, 52 52
I would say, "How many people did 10 meetings" 53 53
No hands go up. 54 54
"How many did nine?" 55 55
No hands. 56 56
"How many did eight?" 57 57
One or two hands go up. 58 58
And those are the people that are ultimately 59 59
the most successful. 60 60
And they never get the best grades. 61 61
They never get the best grades. 62 62
You just gotta be resilient. 63 63
You gotta be resilient. 64 64
You know, Michael Jordan said, 65 65
"I've failed over and over and over again, 66 66
"and that's why I succeed." 67 67
You know, a lotta times we'll see somebody that's successful 68 68
and say, "Oh, goodness. They're an overnight success." 69 69
It's not true. 70 70
If somebody's 40 and they're successful, 71 71
they're a 40 year overnight success, so to speak. 72 72
Gotta get rid of that message on my iPhone here. 73 73
So just don't care what people think of you, 74 74
and I promise you, you'll be very, very successful 75 75
on YouTube and in life in general. 76 76
You be you. 77 77
You do what you wanna do. 78 78
You do what makes you happy. 79 79
You vlog the way you wanna vlog. 80 80
Just be yourself and be persistent, 81 81
and before you know it, 82 82
the sky will not be the limit.
