At some point, all adults ask the same
questions: What am I doing with my life?

Am I happy? Am I successful? Online creators
can struggle to define success. I have,

but I'm more confident now about who I am
and what I've done these past 15 years.

This is a book of personal reflections written
for other creators or anyone who needs to feel

that they're not alone with their doubts and
struggles. This isn't a how-to book. It's

simple honest writing to remind you that each of
us is capable of inspiring and being inspired.

This is an easy read. I know people are busy, so
I kept the book short, and I used a conversational

tone throughout. I shared the pitfalls that
creators can encounter while building an audience.

I invite you to laugh at past mistakes and learn
from them as you form your own "best practices."

Let me stress that this is
not a how-to book. However,
12

you will gain insight on setting professional
and personal goals. I challenge the idea that
13

success has to be measured in numbers:
likes, views, watch time, and revenue.

I say we put aside the usual yardstick. Instead,
we can focus on how YouTube allows us to impact
15

other people's lives, to gain work without showing
a résumé, to meet and collaborate with colleagues,

to learn new skills, to experiment and
find a better version of ourselves.
