Aaron Doughty tours his renovated Sedona home while explaining how he went from selling shoes to full-time YouTube creator. He credits daily video uploads, mastering marketing and thumbnail design, healing past wounds, and treating content creation as an identity rather than a goal.

This video, I want to share with you two things. First off, I'm going to give you a house tour of the new house that I just got in Sedona, Arizona. But secondly, I want to give you an honest look at what it's taken to manifest my dream life, not just with the esoteric kind of woo-woo visualization type techniques, but really be brutally honest with you with what it took to get to this space. Now, first off, I just want to share with you a little bit of the view here. One of the main perks of living here in Sedona is these views of these red rocks. So first off, let me show you a little bit. I've literally moved into this house like 2-3 days ago. It took a month. I bought this house back about a month and a half ago, and what I did is I put 3 to 4 weeks of remodeling into it, and it is honestly a completely different house than the way that I bought it. And I was in Vegas, and now I moved pretty much most of my stuff here. I still have a couple pieces of furniture coming and stuff like that. But I wanna show you guys, look at these views, wow. It's still settling in for me, you know. If you look out here, you can kinda see the views. There's some trees there, but then over there you see some as well. And yeah, this is just, this house to me is just so special. And I wanna show you guys, give you guys a little bit of a tour. And then we'll get into some of the exactly like kind of what it really has taken to create my dream life. So first off, over here you'll see this is the entryway when you come into the front door. And that painting was something very special to me. It just kinda represents community, kinda represents like, you know, like a tribe and stuff like that. I thought it was so cool, so I put that there. And then this was in my Vegas house that I just moved out of. This is the angel wings and it kinda clears people as they come in. Now, what you'll see is, as you are coming through, this is the living room right here. That's my hape section. It's like ceremonial tobacco. I had the TV hung up over here. I have more plants coming, nurturing some of the plants that I had, because it was here at the house for 3 weeks, and it was outside getting too hot. This is the house, though. You'll see it's very open. Floor plan. And I have a— I love the dining room. This house looks so different before. I wish you guys could have saw it. So one of my favorite things right here, this is, um, this granite is, uh, like my favorite thing of the whole house because this granite wasn't here before. So if I turn this on, look at this granite right here. Like, look at all of the textures in it. It's not the cleanest. I got sage there. Um, but I love the colors in here. This were all like wood before, it was like an old wood, but now it's like much more, um, looks much more modern. Let me show you the views over here, kind of actually over here. There's some more views over here, you can kind of see, and some of the trees are in the way, but you know, we love trees. And then, um, let's go. It's one of my favorite things about this whole house is I got this fridge, this fridge right here. Um, my buddy of mine had this fridge in his house and I was like, this is so epic. So it's about a beverage fridge right there, and it's probably the thing I'm most excited about. I feel like I'm at a grocery store and go grab my kombucha or something. So you come over here and then, um, right over here we have the office. I have some shelves coming that's gonna go all the way up here. This is where I get my work done for the day. That right there It's also a really cool view. I have a jacuzzi I'm gonna be putting right over there. And yeah, I have some books over there. Now let me show you one of my favorite rooms in the house, hands down. It is this right over here. It is this room. This is the master. So we've got that. That right here is really cool. I got this in Mexico. This is from a tribe that works with peyote, and then they make handmade art. And it's like of the visions and stuff. So this is very special to me. I got that when I was in Tulum recently. If you look around, I got that— the fireplace has all got redone with stone that wasn't there when I bought the house. That's my higher self painting right there. I've got a cool little mirror right here. Hi! And then, yeah, this is my— I had a friend that did the interior design and she did an amazing job. Look at that. She made that wall with different like cement strokes in it. It's just got such a cool vibe, man. I just love this house. This is my grandpa gave me this before he passed away. This has to do with like the chakras of the body. So down here, these represent different chakras. It's like the heart chakra. This is the head. These are the eyes, third eye, the crown with like an antenna. This is done by some Chinese enlightened guy or something like that. You come in here, this is the bathroom. I know it sounds kind of weird, but I got a bidet. I've always wanted one. I was in Mexico a while ago, and I was super excited about that. If you turn right here, these have like backlit, backlit mirrors, which I think are pretty cool. Then in here, I had the whole closet redone. It's insane what they did in 3 weeks. But I put my— here's another thing is I set the intention that this would be done in 3 weeks, and everything just kind of aligned. I'm not gonna lie, there were some stressful moments of it, but that's my meditation spot right there. Every day I meditate, and that's where I go. And it's weird I meditate in a closet. Some people make fun of me for it, like friends and stuff that know me, but it's just what I've been doing. I've been meditating in a closet since like 2012. I just normally find like a little closet, little space that I can go to. Let me show you guys one other room that I want to show you. There's like bathrooms and stuff. It's a long hallway. This is a little cool little spot. This is where my mom made those chairs. I think they're super cool. This is going to be a guest bedroom. Comes with like a cool little bathroom. And then same with here. This is also a bedroom, but this right here is what I'm really excited about. This is the new podcast area. So this right here is the podcast wall. And yeah, it's just, it's amazing. I'm going to have some chairs right here, having podcast guests come in. If they want a drink, he only has a kombucha right here. And then we got some citrine. I have some moss art that's coming over here. That's my closet over there for storage stuff. This is the bathroom, also the backlit mirrors and stuff. And this is the new house. This is something I've been super excited about. Buying this house was super synchronous altogether because right now the market in Sedona houses— everyone is leaving the, like, you know, LA and stuff. They're moving to other states where there's better tax, and there's so many people moving here. That the houses go within days. So finding this house for me was like a very magical thing. And now I wanna share with you the truth, the brutal honest truth about what it took to manifest this house, this lifestyle, just in general, beyond some of the woo woo, like, you know, visualize before you go to bed and stuff. That stuff's powerful, but this goes, what I wanna share is gonna go even deeper. It's gonna go into understanding what it really takes. So here we go. Welcome to my show, everybody. I'm so happy you guys made it. So I just wanted to share with you a little bit about what it really took to manifest my dream life and realize this. First off, by the time you have achieved what you want, by the time you've created what you want, it feels pretty damn normal. When I would imagine this lifestyle back when I had a 9-to-5 job selling women's shoes, I'd have it on a pedestal and think this would be so cool to have the abundance to do this, to travel the world, to live in a house I want. But because it was on a pedestal, it was almost even further out of reach. So I think one of the things that happens a lot is people have their vision on some end result instead of having it to be a part of the process of something you're actually passionate about. So to be honest with you, let's look at some of the more harsh sides of what it took to manifest this house. It took a lot, a lot of willpower. It's funny, there was a guy that was working on the house here and he said to me, he was working, he was like an assistant to the guy that was doing the remodeling. He's the same exact age as me. He was born in the same year as me. And he's like, you did this all yourself? He's like, working on this house has really reflected back to me when I find out you were the same age as me because I don't have my license. I'm living with my, you know, I'm living with the guy that I'm working for. I, you know, he was telling me all these things that's going on in his life. And then he had me as a reflection there of me living in this abundant house that he's working on and stuff like that. And I was trying to give him a little bit of advice, but the main thing I'm trying to tell him is like, you know, He said it himself. He's like, maybe we just made different choices. And it's like, well, yeah, I think that that's pretty much what it came down to is we made different choices. And I told him, you know, it was just, there was a certain decision I made that I'm going after this vision no matter what, which means I had to say no to a lot of things. You know, the harsh side of the truth is like when I went full-time on YouTube 3 years ago, you know, 3 years ago I was living paycheck to make paycheck, going to work every day, you know, selling women's shoes. And 3 or 4 years later, here I am. And really, the bridge of what it took was a choice that I made in a moment about me and who I am. I didn't say I'm gonna make daily videos on YouTube and then eventually have YouTube subscribers and quit. I said I'm making daily videos on YouTube because I am a full-time YouTuber. So this is one of the key things that I think people miss is Do things because it's who you are, not because of the results it will get you. That is a huge game changer. But realize that in a way you can connect to what you could call your future self and what would they tell you to do? Because when I was working that 9 to 5 job, I was living at my dad's house and I was walking around and I had this download, this idea, make a video a day on YouTube and your life will transform. And I decided to make a video a day and no matter what, I stuck to that vision. And I stuck to that vision because then as I did it, I started to love the process. Now let's, let me be brutally honest with you. What else did I have to learn in order to create this dream lifestyle? Well, after I got on YouTube back in February 2017, I started making daily videos. After that, I had to learn marketing. It wasn't the highest vibe thing to learn, but I had to learn how to market. I had to learn how to get people's attention via thumbnails. I had very, very loud thumbnails with, I don't know if you guys remember, if you guys were a member of, or if you guys subscribed years ago, or you remember the videos where it was black and yellow writing, like this video. Let me know if that's you or comment below and let me know I was here for that. When my thumbnails were much more like poppy, I had to learn that and how to get people's attention and how to hook people's attention, how to tell stories, how to also not care what people think. You guys, I love all of you watching this video, and so many of you say such positive things, but there are some people that, you know, send me negative energy or have and don't like me. You know, that's just part of being online. I've had to learn to be okay with that, and I've had to learn to be in the limelight. I've had to learn, you know, many different aspects of this that I never thought I, you know, when I first got on YouTube and I would think about, you know, I was probably driven by significance. I'm like, you know, when I'm going around and people recognize me, I'm gonna feel so worthy. It was like, Part of that's from childhood wounding or wanting to feel seen. And it's funny because now that in a way that happens, I realize, I actually, I like to, it's not what I thought it was gonna be on this big pedestal. You know what I mean? Things become pretty damn normal when you've become the identity. So that's why I say become the version of you that is living the lifestyle that you want and do it every single day. I made videos every single day on YouTube because making videos was part of my passion. I did that every single day for years, for years. And the reason I'm saying this, because maybe the one thing you need to hear is to take massive action. Not to say like action is low vibrational, you gotta take low vibration action, you gotta force things to happen. But you know, some of the spiritual, when I was like, you know, thinking a better thought and just sitting on my couch, it wasn't getting me that far. But once I started to make videos, I started to have energy that was moving, I was then being the version of me. I was more in alignment with the version of me that had this kind of lifestyle. So for me to bridge the reality where I'm working a 9-to-5 job selling women's shoes, for me now living my dream life, making videos, playing the freaking flute, okay, in my dream house— now the key, you wanna know what the key was? Was every single day and 24 hours in a day doing what I'm passionate about with a vision for what and who I wanna become. And then modifying, learning skills that didn't seem so high vibe. I had to learn marketing, I had to learn online marketing, I had to learn how to grow an email list. I had to learn different aspects of the business that I never thought I would have to learn. But when I first got on YouTube, I was like, oh, the way you make it on YouTube is you just get ad revenue. No, that's not the way. I mean, some people, that's how they do it, but there's many different aspects of having a business that I had to learn. So sometimes you might have— you might be an artist and you might have to learn the skills of what it takes to be an artist, to market your art, to make a website or to have someone make you a website. These are different aspects of your dream that maybe not a lot of people talk about, but you have to stay committed to a vision. And then after the vision, the thing that's important is with that, you have to be consistent. Have a vision, Be consistent, modify as you go, and realize that your life will grow in proportion to how much you grow, how much you step into your comfort zone. You know, I have people like, like the, I have to step out of my comfort zone if I wanna grow. Even like with what I'm doing now on YouTube, I love making YouTube videos. I wanna put more intention onto YouTube. So if you guys haven't already, can you subscribe below and like this video if you want me to make more videos kind of like this? More vlog-style videos where I'm like kind of authentically just sharing with you some of these perspectives. But it's having a vision. It is not just having a vision, but being consistent with that vision. It is modifying as you go and realizing that your life grows in proportion to how you grow. So step out of the unknown, try different things. A lot of, um, the reason I'm at where I'm at is because I tried many different things. I tried many different types of thumbnails back when I first started on YouTube. I tried many different ideas on topics. I didn't start out making law of attraction videos. If you were to organize my videos and go by oldest ones, I was making it on how to find your purpose. I had like subconscious mind stuff and then eventually I started talking about the law of attraction and people were like, I want more of this, I want more of this. And I started sharing more of that, but I was afraid to share it at first because I thought it was too esoteric. Well, now look, I got videos on starseeds. I got all these other videos that are even way more than that. That's me stepping out of my comfort zone. Many times on YouTube, by the way, I'd feel afraid to put out a video on starseeds or something esoteric. The ones I was most afraid to put out were normally the ones that did the best and that took the channel to a new level. That's the message that I have for you today. It becomes pretty damn normal by the time you achieve that which you want, by the time you have the abundance, the finances, whatever it is that you want. But all of that is a reflection of your inner energy system. That's another thing. It's all a reflection of your inner energy system. And the key that I would like to share with you is, are you doing what you're passionate about? 'Cause that's one of the best ways to align yourself. Do what you're passionate about and do the healing, do the inner healing and heal your painful past, heal in your body because then you release resistance. And then as you're aligned, you will find more and more and more of these things coming to you, more and more of these kind of reflections in your life. So this is something that I've been super passionate about lately. If you also— I do— my buddy Victor Odo and I have something called Full Time Purpose, which will show you. There's one, a YouTube channel that you could check out below that you could subscribe to.
