I re-watched your video after the Premier, there's so many golden nuggets going through my brain. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us as you do. I'm sorry about your diagnosis. Glad to know you're going to be ok as you work through your treatments. And bravo for being in a place in life where you can make those important adjustments to prioritize life as you go. I so appreciate your positive attitude and action. This and so much of what you share in videos resonates with my life right now. There's so much that goes on in a person's life journey. It's time for me now to just do it. Take good care Steven.

[@Steven-Thompson]

Thank you for your kindness I’m excited to learn that this video has been so useful for you. Again thank you for your support. What are you working on?

[@EricHaefele]

The feelings are real! I’m worried about making videos about the things most important to me and not getting views… not getting any feedback. There’s another part of me that wants to do daily shorts but I’m worried about the “reach”. I’ve taken existing footage and I’ve made 3 minute shorts (capris 😬) but KZbin hasn’t sorted it yet so there’s no traction. I have the vice of too many options and no focus (ADHD!) but I think I’m seeking the “gamification” from some sort of milestone or recognition that I’m on the right track. I want to talk about my life, running, video games, friends and family… but how? I don’t have much content yet and already the possibilities have crippled me and made me lazy. I have 19 subscribers and less than ten hours of view time. I also feel a little selfish for posting this on such a touching video… thank you for such a wonderful story and continuing to post. I’m going to figure it out!

[@Steven-Thompson]

I hear you my friend. What you can’t see on this channel are the 250+ Shorts which I turned to private, I only had a handful which got any views and they are still live. I found my attention was better placed on long form videos. We need to be getting 10-20 long form video under our belt to see what your market want from you. You can always remake the early videos again with the message you want to share. I made 10-20 good video with great and useful content but they got no reach, so I will remake them, it’s part of the process.

[@EricHaefele]

@@Steven-Thompson thanks bud. This is what I needed to hear… or read. 😬 I appreciate what you to for the community! 🍻👻

[@artravision]

@@Steven-ThompsonSo helpful! Thank you for being real with us.

[@ClarkSell]

@steven your videos just keep getting better and better. I love having you in my daily feed. Keep up the great work.

[@Steven-Thompson]

I appreciate that! I’m very grateful for your kindness 🙏🏻

[@AmberShannon]

Steven, your level of honesty and transparency is very rare on KZbin and is much needed. So many people are living with dis-eases in their bodies and minds, but feel ashamed and hide it because they think everyone else, especially on KZbin, is living shiny, perfect lives with no problems. I think your honesty will help liberate us from that shame, and hopefully provide the boost of confidence needed to be fully ourselves and share our message. Also, I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers, to provide support for the full expression of all of your beautiful, radiant highest good, in whatever form its expression is chosen.✨🙏🏼✨💓💕 P.S. I’m looking forward to hearing about the new program you mentioned. I feel fine about getting on camera and have been in digital marketing for years, so I’m on the same page with the business and marketing goodness you share. What I think I would really benefit from is a simple, practical blueprint (to help me stay focused on what’s actually important and not get distracted in doing allll the things) and a safe community where I could make progress alongside other creators / digital entrepreneurs - especially from your stress-free lifestyle-focused perspective. I burned out a few years ago and it’s been really challenging to start fresh in a totally new way, doing almost everything differently than before (habits, mindset, self-care, etc). Ok, did not expect to write such a long message! 😂 Thanks for everything you’re doing, Steven. The angels and I are cheering for you! 👏🏼✨💜✨

[@Steven-Thompson]

I’m so grateful for your kind words and valuable insights. I’m pleased you are enjoying my content and I’m excited to support you further.

[@borderlezzbuzzgh]

I can really resonate with this video and this is exactly what I have started in 2025. Will be 40 later this year and wants to have “freedom”, freedom to control my time and finances. Thanks Steven. I will be grateful for your guidance in this journey

[@Steven-Thompson]

You got this! I started my entire business journey for freedom and it’s the best thing I did, if I can support you further just say! PS. Join my newsletter for updates and resources!

[@rorypatrickwhelan]

Thank you for sharing this Ste. I hope the treatment goes well. It's a reminder that we all need to consider how we spend our time and to think carefully about who's life we're really living. Much love to you and the family. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏🏻

[@Steven-Thompson]

Thank you for your kind words and support 🙏🏻

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

I was able to get rid of goals,. Didn't do it on purpose...actually they just all left and I'm taking credit for it. Dreams are probably going to abandon ship next. I am unencumbered by risk of having expectations; I focus on just enjoying. tHanks for the video

[@Steven-Thompson]

Good luck I’m pleased you have found it useful

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

@@Steven-Thompson Always.....looking forward to more of your posts

[@GambillDataEngineering]

Steven - you are awesome and your videos always feel timely with where I am at. Thank you for everything you do!

[@Steven-Thompson]

You are so welcome I appreciate your kind words, why is the video so timely? #curious

[@GambillDataEngineering]

@Steven-Thompson I'm trying to do educational content for aspiring data engineers and start a data consulting business after 25 years in data engineering. Last month I had some great growth and this month has been slower. I've been wondering if what I'm doing is helping others or not and if youtube is for me. But Remembering that if I help just a few people then that's a few people that I wouldn't have helped otherwise.

[@transformativeexperiences]

❤ Hi Steve. I hope you will read this.. But look into carnivore diet.. Dr ken berry, dr Anthony chafee, dr Elisabeth bright, low carb down under... Dave Mac.. It has pulled me out of my most difficult time... Close to death.. ... And my autism symptoms improved as well.. Just please please have a look into it.

[@DougFidelak]

Great video today, Steven, and a very suitable follow up to our discovery call! Thanks for sharing the joys and challenges of your journey - and offering hope for others wanting to follow a similar path!

[@Steven-Thompson]

My pleasure! It was great to connect with you and I’m excited to see what you share with the world

[@lisamichaels3292]

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Thank you so much for sharing this very valuable and yet vulnerable video. You’re an inspiration to all of us! 🙏

[@Steven-Thompson]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I want to keep my content ‘REAL’ and show others that we can all do this no matter what challenges we face

[@BradfordThroughTheLens]

Genuine Bloke with a genuine channel. Thank you.

[@Steven-Thompson]

I appreciate that! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@MindfulBeat1]

Enjoyed this video. I have not yet shared my main transformation with my audience but need to take the plunge. You're a good example of keeping positive when life throws us things that aren't that easy.

[@Steven-Thompson]

You can do it! As you grow it’s important to create depth and connection with your people

[@MYODBYF]

Crying before breakfast wasn't on my bingo card for the day. Your storytelling skills are stellar. ❤ I hope that really helped the gentleman who was about to throw in the towel, because it surely helped many many more ... ripples through the universe.

This video is so close to where I'm at right now Steven. Thank you for sharing. I'm trying create a community around the mental health of people that drive or work alone for a living. Formative ideas right now but a huge potential niche, I feel. Your channel is really helpful in giving me ideas, so thanks again mate !

Wow, Thank you! I'm 58 and ready to start my youtube journey, you are an inspiration!

[@Steven-Thompson]

Wonderful! If I can help and you have questions please post them in the comments

[@everydayprojector]

Thanks for telling this story Steven! I also get iron overload close to hemochromatosis levels, and have had to give blood regularly to treat it. Crazy stuff! But I hope you're feeling alright. I appreciate you continuing to create this valuable content ❤

[@Steven-Thompson]

Hey sorry to hear that, I hope you are well. I watched your video about being alone yesterday it was great. Thank you for your kind support

[@SouthernCaliforniaLiving2]

I really appreciate you Stephen thank you. We need to pray and hope for a cure for your illness. Much love and respect❤

[@Steven-Thompson]

Thank you for your kindness, its a genetic condition so Im simply managing it, thank you

[@markthiel]

Keep doing what you're doing, mate! 💪

[@Steven-Thompson]

Thanks, will do! What’s resonating with you?

[@MGteacherfit]

Really enjoying your videos Steven. They make so much sense. My struggle comes from not being able to settle on what I can share. I’m a teacher and used to work in fitness but just ironing out what I want to share is causing me some issues 😅

[@brianfitzpatrickwriter]

Thank you for all you do. Your content is always enriching and uplifting. And your attitude in the face of this new obstacle is admirable. You got this!!

[@Steven-Thompson]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you and I’m grateful for your kind words. I’m here to serve, what’s resonating with you the most?

[@brianfitzpatrickwriter]

@ I’m 56, an author and screenwriter with decades of experience. Over the summer I created a course to help writers who struggle with the business side of their career. Your content has consistently helped ground me when I’m spiraling over the lack of sales. You help me remember that this is a marathon, to always be my authentic self, and always deliver value. Thank you!

Thank you Steven for another beautiful and certainly educational story, you always manage to touch me emotionally.❤

[@Steven-Thompson]

You are so welcome. How’s your video journey going?

[@moniquevarekamp]

@ the execution on a low flame, my motivation is skyhigh 😂.. I hope to be able to take action in the coming week. Thanks for asking Steven 🥰

[@RachaelBerezin]

I love this video! Totally resonated with what you said and I signed up for your course a couple days ago because I have dreamt of being a KZbinr for a long time and every day I regret not doing it, feel bad about myself, and then feel like I can’t help anyone and so the cycle continues….

[@Steven-Thompson]

You got this! Your story completely resonates and I’m so excited that you have joined Courage Before Confidence course. Enjoy and keep me posted 👍

Possibly but I prefer giving people my direct time and attention

Steve thank you for being you. Please look into carnivore way of eating..it saved my life and improved my au tism symptoms

[@Steven-Thompson]

Thank you for your kindness. I really appreciate it and I certainly will look into that. I’ve just gotta watch my iron levels with the haemochromatosis but thank you.

[@transformativeexperiences]

@Steven-Thompson do it 😘

[@MGteacherfit]

Hi Steven. I came across your videos and they have been really useful. I’m trying to sort out in my head the best approach for me. I’m a teacher and fitness enthusiast who is desperately trying to figure out what type of content to post?!

[@Steven-Thompson]

Fantastic! I believe the best content is to share answers to problems we have been through personally, with our own story, wisdom, experience and transformation. This way, whilst it might be similar to someone else’s, the story is yours, as is the transformation and perspective/outcome, therefor you are the niche 😉

[@Embracingthewildwomanwithin]

I'm feeling so inspired by this video, thank you for sharing so openly ❤ Do any of you guys in the comments fancy coming together for a vlogvember???😂 Could we make it a thing?🤔 If our creator would be happy for us to do that or maybe our creator could run a challenge for us viewers at some point?

[@Steven-Thompson]

Hey sounds like fun, I will be doing a video on the whole experience and what I learned from it on KZbin. I’m hoping to do it in 2025 as it was a challenge 😉

[@Embracingthewildwomanwithin]

@@Steven-Thompson sounds great ☺️ I will look forward to the video. I think I am just about ready to jump in as my perfectly imperfect self 😁

[@JermainYew]

Hi Steven, thank you for the inspiring video. What you shared resonated deeply with me. I plan to start a web design business mainly for the important reasons you mentioned. Can KZbin help my business? My concern is I don’t know what story I can tell because I’m mainly just designing and building websites for people. I’d greatly appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you again.

[@Steven-Thompson]

Hey, thank you for your kind words. But I don’t see other web designers doing is sharing an insight a tip or a step or hack or a trick on a KZbin video and then telling the story about how you found that realised it all the story for the website of the person you’re building. For me, that’s what wouldn’t help you stand out amongst everyone else. Because everyone else is just looking at the technical aspect and they’re not looking at the emotional aspect

[@JermainYew]

@ Thank you. Great point! I’ll think more about this.
