If you want it…make it happen
My website is called Steer the Future. My YouTube channel is called @steerthefuturenow .
These are not just site names – they are what I believe in.
For so many years I have led a passive existence – complaining to myself about other peoples luck and my lack of it.
This changed back in January 2021 when I started walking 10000 steps every day and losing weight.
This morning I decided not to write my blog post until this evening. I decided to delay it until this evening because last night I couldn’t sleep – our YouTube channel @bramblecottageuk had been stuck at 990 subscribers for more than 1 week and the minimum number of subscribers to start earning money.
I wanted to try an experiment. I decided to steer my own future instead of waiting in the hope that we would eventually reach 1000.
So at 10:00 am I published a video titled “Why can’t I get1000 subscribers?”. I deliberately opted not to notify our existing subscribers.
At 7:37 pm this evening we reached our goal. At 8:45 pm we exceeded our goal – 1001 subscribers
I am so pleased. Because I had the courage to ask for help…help was forthcoming.
I have no idea what number of subscribers to expect tomorrow but I know that it will be closer to 1000 than it was at 8:00 am this morning.
Best wishes,
Richard
