Lauren Bateman, a self-taught guitar teacher, delivers a motivational message urging viewers to discard excuses (e.g., lack of formal degree, busy life, family responsibilities) and to not be afraid to put themselves out there. She cites her own experience—no music degree, self-taught, and becoming one of the highest-paid guitar teachers on YouTube—as evidence that perceived barriers are self-created.

There's a lot of people who think I'm not qualified to do this, or my life's busy, I have kids and a mortgage, or this, that and the other thing. Listen, I'm a music teacher. I don't even have a degree in music. I'm self taught in guitar and I am one of the highest paid guitar teachers on YouTube. So whatever your excuses, just throw it out the door because it's all here. You're just creating that as a barrier to entry. And the best thing you have to do is just have to not be afraid to put yourself out there.
