On the 3rd of January, 2023, I posted my first video on YouTube.

This was about 1390 days ago.

I don't think I fully understood what I was getting myself into at the time. In fact, I was forced into it lol. When Mr Gbenga told me I needed to go on YouTube, I argued with him. He said, 'I won't hear anything. You're starting a YouTube channel.' And so I did.

Fast forward to today, and I've just published my 500th YouTube video.

Five hundred videos.

Sometimes, when you're in the middle of building something, you don't stop to appreciate how far you've come. You're too busy thinking about the next video, the next idea, what you could have done better, or what you still haven't achieved.

But this milestone made me pause for a moment.

I just published a video on YouTube talking about it, and I think you should watch it. I think you'll learn a thing or two from it. Sometimes in life, you are just one decision away from the next big thing, but you don't even know it.

I was telling my friends last night how someone sent me a demotivating video about my YouTube channel on the 7th of August, and on the 8th of August I still went ahead and published a new video.

Guess what? That very video is now my most-viewed video with over 470,000 views. What if I allowed the words I heard the previous day to demotivate me? What if I quit?

Pheeew. Well, thank God.

You'll find the full story on YouTube. Use it as your distraction while you eat breakfast or clean the house or do your laundry or do whatever it is you do on Saturday mornings.

I'll talk to you soon.

Love,

Professor.
