I’m on the struggle bus with YouTube & business (not sure what’s next)

[@MzNeec2U]

The one thing that I have always LOVED about you is the fact that you are authentic. You rarely see this on YT today so I can appreciate it. These are the folks that I will always support and follow. I found you when I bought my Cricut and wanted to sell T-shirts and other personalized things. I can truly see you moving towards the teaching aspect of the business. When I want to learn how to make something I come to YT first and let me just say...NOT everyone can teach. I usually listen first to what is being said and then go back and watch while also listening. Most channels nowadays rarely have someone speaking about what they are doing. I am saying all of this to say I will support no matter what. I am still on the fence about POD and literally just said I need to watch Alex's videos again. Thanks for doing what you do Sis♥

[@DefinedByAlex]

You’re gonna make me cry!! This was so touching & thank you for taking the time to write all of this!! 💕💕

[@MzNeec2U]

@@DefinedByAlex Its just the truth...no crying please because I have manage to go all day without doing so. This just shows that you never know who you are inspiring with your videos.

[@mariellyalvarez]

Hey, Alex. Im an Aries, and I totally get you. We tend to change a lot of things often. We get bored easily. If it's not clicking, if it's not giving us that aha-moment, we withdraw. If it doesn't fulfill us, we feel something is missing. It's okay to step back and let God give you the clarity you need. It will take time, but He will give you the content for your channel despite what others may think. The final outcome is to glorify Him with what we do.

[@DefinedByAlex]

This was so nice of you to say Marielly, and you're so right. God always had the final say

[@mariellyalvarez]

@DefinedByAlex You got this, darling. I'm a fan of your channel and the kind woman you're becoming. Just know that you are loved and appreciated. And if you need to revisit those goals and dreams, do so. There's no perfection in this world. But do take one step at a time, and you will see that whatever you do will flourish into something beautiful. Go, April babies!!! 😁

[@boxedandbougie3194]

I am with you, I have had so many different businesses and ventures including 9-5s. We gotta go through it to get to it. Our journey and experiences will lead to greatness

[@sewferventembroidery]

0:03 Congratulations on landing a new job! Thanks for sharing this moment with us. Whatever you change to, I'm here for it! You got this!

[@DefinedByAlex]

Thanks LaTasha! Glad to see you ☺️

[@iamlashawnda]

Girl I feel you. I have been uninspired and I feel like my mental health has taken a toll due to the constant ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Thank you for being open and honest about your journey because this made me realize that I am not the only one experiencing these kind of things. The enemy is quick to make you feel isolated and have you feeling like its just you. New Subscriber!!

[@DefinedByAlex]

Emphasis on the enemy will make you feel isolated, the struggle is so real

[@COMEDY-jc7wd]

I think your doing a wonderful job, keep believing in you... I watch you all the time and hopefully I will be where you are one day. Keep up the good work sister. Your good!

[@DefinedByAlex]

Wow thank you so much, comments like these helps keep me going 💕

[@simonemorgan1070]

I just wantched a video of Le'Shaun Will and she was very transparent of her KZbin earnings. She stated few niches that does pay well and one of them is gossip which aint for her. I prefer learning how to achieve something, etc. and that's what drew me to your channel, the transparency and authenticity. I really don't mind if you vlog about other aspects of Alex, im with you girl. Congratulations on your new job. Whatever direction you're going in as long as it's fruitful for you, just do it. Blessings. Love you girl. Hugs

[@DefinedByAlex]

Awee thank you so much & yeah I agree the gossip works for a lot of creators but if I don’t like it in real life then I won’t be coming to my channel…you know?

[@miamonet1685]

Thankyou for being vulnerable. Thankyou for connecting and inspiring me today. You have a new subscriber!

[@DefinedByAlex]

Welcome! 🤗 thanks for being here

[@LoveVida707]

Good for you Alex! Im sure there are creators who won’t pivot due to fear of losing subscribers etc. I watched a POD tutorial of yours in April and it totally inspired me to open an etsy shop. Im planning to publish a few designs by the end of the week, so thank you for that!

[@DefinedByAlex]

Thank you Vida! I agree, it's scary pivoting but I want to truly be happy with creating content instead of feeling obligated to do so for likes, subscribers, etc

[@TheStudentArchitect]

This video is right on time for me. SO MUCH of what you're saying resonates with me and my journey. You're speaking so much truth to what I've been feeling, and I can't tell you how validating and reassuring it is to know I'm not alone in everything you spoke about. Also, I don't think I've ever said "FACTS" so many times within a 10 minute period 😂 Thank you so much for your authenticity, vulnerability, and honesty; I'm so glad I found your channel. I definitely think you're on the right track with creating content that's exciting to you, and I can't wait to see what you do next! Btw, I liked the vibe and I immediately subscribed :) Also, congrats on the new job and all of the success you've had so far, you're doing amazing!!

[@DefinedByAlex]

Hey girl! Thank you so much for the love, welcome to my channel & I'm happy you're here

Honestly the productivity vlogs was working for showing the equipment the behind the scenes of planning content what you eat in a day productivity tools I was loving that type of content from you and also work from home techies vlogs or behind the scenes of being a content creator and what all goes into it🥰 then still throwing in some educational content that sparks your mind I hope this helps 🥰

[@prettyrichgirl2007]

Hello, thank you for the share of your struggles that we all go through in our lives. I am trying to get back to work after about 8 months. I truly enjoyed my time off with my family, but now it is time to get back to work. I also make cards so if I want to continue to do what I love, by making other people happy with my cards...I need to get back to work. I will start my own business, just a delay for now. Hugs and prayers Alex....

I watched this whole video. It resonated with me! Im in the same space a bit. Thank you ❤

[@DefinedByAlex]

Thank you for watching friend. Praying we both figure it out

[@neikspreciousgems-co]

I'm in the same boat sis. I've had my small business for almost 4 years now. Not a huge success but I'm growing it slowly. I noticed I do well with in person shows rather than soley relying on social media. Social media marketing has been very draining. Now that i work 2 jobs i hardly have anytime to spend time on social media to promote my business. I'm planning on doing more callaboration to increase my growth a bit. I decided to only work on my business part-time business of financial reasons. While working 2 jobs I'm planning on going back to school in one-year to further my education and get and even higher paying job this way I'll be able to invest more into the marketing side of my small business.

[@DefinedByAlex]

I currently work two jobs too! So I totally understand girl, wishing you the best & I know you’ll get back on it.

[@neikspreciousgems-co]

@DefinedByAlex Thanks so much. 💕 Same to you as well. Sometimes, we have to make sacrifices to make bank 💵

Correct me if Im wrong, but didn't you previously say you weren't really doing the educational content any more? If you did then stop being scared to try the new content girl!
