So what I mean by that is that they are building a YouTube channel, for example, and they're getting the subscribers, but they feel like they're on this one-person mission and they have to do it all themselves. And again, that's a very valuable lesson which I've learned, because I've been through periods of my life in both of my businesses where I've probably done too much on my own. And I think, like, just because I either have the knowledge and I think I can do it better than everybody else, or just because through just Stupidity, basically, and my ego thought that I should be doing that stuff.

If you've got a load of subscribers and you're watching your subscriber count go up slowly, go and find other YouTubers who've got 5,000 or 10,000 or 50,000 or 100,000 followers.
