Putting the quality of the article aside that others have alluded to, I think it's relevant to share what I've done to combat my 'laziness'. I actually started daily vlogging and I'm going through the motion of creating a startup in that vlog, sharing all the successes and failures. So bit by bit I get to create something, move that needle and have the YouTube channel to be accountable to. Only been doing it for a month and a half, but it's given me more energy, I'm learning a lot and helping me reach out to other people to move things forward. While not for everyone, I think it's important to experiment with techniques and try to find something that keeps you going.

That is a great solution. Glad it works for you! I am to awkward to put myself in front of a camera every day, and honestly i probably would not want to hear any negative comments on what i am doing (on the other side, i am doing well in this thread, its just the anxiety that scares me i guess ;)

  For me, being on camera is a personal thing. I don't mind it, but I know doing it every day makes it a lot, lot easier. There's always audio and of course written text to share your journey with. At the end of the day, you have to start somewhere, and the two things I think are: 1. You are only as good as the last piece of content you put out. So if it gets critically slated, then go learn from it and improve for the next. 2. Embrace the failure, and that includes the negative comments. Take a third person view and treat it all as an experiment which you can learn from. Enjoy the successes and share the learning from failures.

    I love how your 2 points perfectly fit my post and the outcome in this thread :) You are right tho. Especially 2. is something that was hard for me to learn but once i did changed everything. Failing is basically the main source of experience.
