This week, I got featured on a Times Square billboard.

Seeing myself up there sparked so many emotions.

Back in 2020, I and my team launched the Part-Time YouTuber Academy.

We needed somewhere to host it.

We chose Circle and suddenly I was no longer broadcasting content into the void.

I was facilitating conversations and connections.

Slowly the community became just as valuable if not more than the course content itself.

Most creators believe content is the be-all and end-all.

But being a creator myself, I know it’s not enough.
People don’t just need information.
They need connection.

In our Circle community, great things happened:
↳ Students became accountability partners
↳ They started hosting their own meetups
↳ They started collaborating on projects
↳ Some even become business partners

You can’t get that from content.

You can’t get that from any course.

You can only get that from community.

Over 5 years, I’ve watched complete beginners become full-time creators.

Not just because of the course, but because they had people supporting them every step of the way.

When Circle put me up on Times Square, it was surreal.

But it also reminded me why we’ve stuck with them.

They understand what I’ve learned the hard way.
Community isn’t a nice-to-have for creators.
It’s the whole point.

All of our courses are now hosted on Circle.

And honestly, I can’t imagine building anything educational without it.

If you’re a creator or educator not building a community, you’re missing one of the most fulfilling parts of online business.

We’ve been using Circle for 5 years and it just works.

Thank you Circle for sponsoring this post. #ad

👨‍⚕️ Doctor-turned-Entrepreneur + Productivity Expert + YouTuber (6M subs) 📘 New York Times Bestselling Author of "Feel-Good Productivity"

I've uploaded 800+ YouTube videos since 2017.

But it took me 7 years to upload my first video.

I kept saying “this is the year” and still didn’t hit publish.

Not because I didn’t want it enough.

But because I thought I wasn’t ready.

I thought I needed the perfect plan - that if I waited and prepared for long enough, I'd feel ready.

The truth is you never feel ready.

800+ uploads later, I still fall into that trap sometimes.

But I just start with whatever I’ve got and figure it out as you go.

If you want to start a YouTube channel but don’t know where to begin, I’ve put together a free 7-day crash course to help 👉https://lnkd.in/eABvRfTi

This almost stopped me from starting YouTube
