Can Millie give me some advice or some tips or pointers?" What would you tell those people?

First things first is to craft your personal bra- personal brand around what your long-term goal is.

I think a lot of creators are focused on what they think is working in right now or what they see other people are doing, and they're like, "Oh, this works for them," and so they're, they wanna recreate what's working in the industry now or other creators are doing now.

But really always think, "Where do I wanna be three to five years from now?" And start posting like that now.

I, I've seen...

I know it's so simple.

It's such a simple piece of advice, but I see a lot of creators making that mistake of getting distracted by all the noise or all the advice of, "Try this.

How did that look? What did that look like for you as far as, did you start with a editor part-time, and then, you know, what, what did that look like for your channel, and what does it look like now?

How does Millie get to where Millie is now?

Yeah.

It's been a, a journey.

I feel like every area of my business has its own starting point in a way.

You know, like Instagram has its Millie journey, and YouTube has its Millie journey, and everything has kind of all led to here.

But I would say growing up, I, uh, always loved creating.

I always made videos with my, uh, little brother.

I guess, I mean, I know you had done it with your brother, but s- let's say when you got back into it, were you like, "Okay, we're gonna do this the right way." Did you buy lighting? Did you do all the things? Or was it, like, super natural wherever you were, you were recording?
