Stephanie has turned into an Editing Demon, all day and into the night!! Like she said she doesn't like asking for help, but it would mean the world if you Liked and Subscribed :D

This is a personal update/video from me. I recommend watching it at 1.5 speed! Thanks for watching 😊 “We’ve put all our lives on the line and set out to sea, even though we don’t know anything! I’d rather give up being a pirate than have the old guy tell us stuff now! I won’t go on a boring adventure!” Guess who's quote this is? Answer in the description 😆

STEPH! I wish I could give you a big big big hug in real life. As scary as it sounds, losing your safety net can be what you need the most to kick it into high gear. You won't see it now, but you will see it later. There's a theory I read about the "S curve". When you start a new venture, it will feel like you're going downhill at first. And when you keep showing up, commit to improving, and open yourself to opportunities - something will land in your lamp and you will skyrocket and then taper off to steadiness. Keep showing up. You got this. 💝

[@CreatorDrews]

Wow, love the S curve theory, thanks!!

[@z228541758]

love you steph! Big hugs. It's a privilege to do the things you love for a living. Most of us don't get to do that, but you and Andrew are definitely working towards it!

[@SGAndyAng]

Don't worry. You know that we will always be here. Just be always there okay. (Emm, plus kick yourself in the butt too. Get back on that weekly videos! Being done is better than being perfect. Just press record! ;-) )

[@CreatorDrews]

Omg def teared up while watching 😢you are investing in my future!! By Creating Content :) esp meaningful ones like these! You're a great filmmaker and editor❤‍🔥so we're going to be okay!!

[@frafilipoart4082]

😭😭you made me cry, like for real, in a cathartic way. I hope for the best for both of you. God bless Andrew ❤🙏

Continue doing what you love to do. I just started my channel this year from years thinking back and forth if I should do it or not. I have passion on the contents I created and I have a solid reason why I wanted to do this channel. I really feel where you are coming from. Never thought creating contents are going to be this time consuming and would take a lot of sacrifices. I am the breadwinner of our family, with side hustle of being life insurance agent, a husband with 2 little kids plus my channel😊. Despite everything, I still try to set a goal of 1 video every week. Creating a routine, improve my videos week after week and just let it flow. Just want to say your editing is really great! I am far away from that. Joining some fb groups I was able to relate to other youtubers that have been doing this for years and it let me stay on the course to just stay focus on my goal. Keep it up. You are doing great. Always communicate with your partner that will be my only advise.

I'm really sad to hear that, I really liked the content of your channel, you're a very good presenter. Sometimes I think it comes down to the goddamn KZbin algorithm which only helps bigger creators and doesn't give too much chance for other people who are working hard. You need to almost make a reality show nowadays to stand out on KZbin, lots of crap everywhere which is sad and makes the KZbin landscape even worse. I hope you can find a direction in your life and your channel, also financially. Your community will be crossing our fingers for you and your Andrew.
