Everyone repeats the same advice: just be consistent and everything will click. I followed it for 2 years - posting as consistently as I could - and at the end of it my audience had barely grown and I wasn't making any real money. Sound familiar?

In this episode I want to take the pressure off and tell you the truth about consistency. It's not that you're lazy, undisciplined, or somehow broken. It's that consistency on its own was never the thing that grows an audience. Being consistent with a strategy that isn't working just helps you waste time faster. What actually changes everything is having a strategy you're confident in - because once you believe it's going to pay off, showing up every week stops being a fight.

In This Episode, I Cover:

  • The consistency trap: why "try harder and just show up" quietly costs creators years, and how I lost 2 years to it myself
  • The 3 most common reasons your content isn't growing: you're not actually being consistent, you're picking topics that aren't popular enough, or the quality isn't high enough yet
  • Confidence over willpower: how belief in your strategy makes consistency almost automatic (even when you're traveling or sick)
  • My 18-month experiment: the break I took to study YouTube like a scientist, analyzing thousands of channels to find what actually predicts growth
  • What to do instead: stop muscling through, start experimenting, then double down on what's actually producing results
