In this series, we're diving deep into the art and science of content creation, how to create, connect, and thrive as a modern day creator. It's the start of the year and it's time for goal setting for everyone. And in order to achieve our goals in 2025, we need to stay motivated and consistent while not burning ourselves out. And that's exactly what today's episode is all about.
While this episode is tailored toward content creators, it's actually relevant for all entrepreneurs because it's really just about mindset, motivation, and building up momentum, whether you're building an online platform or your company. We'll feature past YAP guests Jenna Kutcher, Jeff Hayden, James Clear, Dr. Aditi Norokar, Jasmine Starr, Benjamin Hardy, and Case Kenny.
Guys, this one is going to get pretty deep. We're going to cover everything from motivation loops to habit building and gap and gain thinking. There's so much content to get to, so let's jump right into it. Starting out as a content creator is no small feat. You're juggling everything, coming up with ideas, filming, editing, and promoting, all while trying to grow an audience.
In the beginning, it can feel like you're shouting into a void, and that can be incredibly discouraging. The truth is, consistency builds credibility. Every post, video, or podcast you put out is another brick in the foundation of your personal brand. But in order to be consistent, you first need to get started.
Here's Jenna Kutcher, one of the most successful podcasters in the world, who is also in my Yap Media podcast network on letting go of perfection and taking action when it comes to getting started as a content creator.
At the beginning, my show was interview only, which did not work out well for me. I recorded it from the front seat of my parked car in my garage because I was worried my dogs were going to bark. I didn't even own a microphone. I had iPhone headphones and I was like, all right, let's just do this. And so I committed to doing it for 90 days. And I was like, let's just see how it feels.
