The Psychology of Starting a Youtube Channel

Most people never start a YouTube channel — not because they’re lazy, but because their BRAIN stops them.
In this video, we break down the psychology of starting a YouTube channel, fear of judgment, perfectionism, procrastination, and why you never feel “ready”… and how to beat all of it so you finally hit upload.

If you’ve been stuck planning, researching, and “getting ready” for months (or years), this video is for you.

In this video, you’ll learn:
• Why your brain is designed to AVOID risk, not chase success
• The Illusion of Ready and why clarity only comes AFTER you start
• How comparison kills creativity (and how to escape it)
• The “Validation Trap” that makes you quit after a few low-view videos
• The identity shift from “I’m trying YouTube” to “I AM a creator”
• A simple mental framework to stay consistent past your first 10 videos
