Tyrone recently pivoted away from a niche that wasn’t fully aligned with who he is. When he came to me, his channel focused on finances and budgeting. He had successfully pulled himself out of debt and wanted to help others do the same. And while that story mattered, it wasn’t the full picture of who Tyrone is or what he’s here to do. There was a deeper calling he’d been ignoring—and that disconnect was draining his motivation and momentum. Through some honest (and not always easy) conversations, it became clear that what truly lit him up was something entirely different. Pivoting isn’t easy. Admitting “this isn’t it anymore” takes courage. Choosing what you actually want—and fully committing to it—takes even more. I’m incredibly proud of you, Tyrone. Your commitment, clarity, and work ethic are paying off, and the way you’re showing up now is powerful. This level of drive makes you unstoppable. I’m sharing his story because many of you feel this too. You know you’re meant for more. You feel the pull toward something different—but changing direction feels scary. Here’s what I believe deeply: when you know, you know. And when you listen to that knowing and act on it, it can lead you straight into your best life. Keep going. You’ve got this.2026 is going to be miraculous.

Earlier today I was reading a thread in a different YouTube Support Group about whether or not to include an Amazon wishlist in your YouTube video descriptions. As many of you know I am approaching my channel as more of a ministry and so this topic is one that I have researched quite a bit. What follows is a brief essay with some thoughts to consider. 🧠 WHY THIS CONVERSATION MATTERS On the surface, that thread was talking about Amazon wishlists and tipping links. But underneath, I see the thread as about more. I think it’s about something deeper — something that speaks to how we relate to our audience as creators. ➡️ Trust: What does asking for support say about the relationship between you and your viewers? Are you inviting people into something they care about, or are you creating a dynamic where they feel obligated or put off? ➡️ Perceived authenticity: Is the ask consistent with the tone, goals, and message of your content? Or does it feel like a disconnect — like a gear shift that doesn’t match the rhythm of your channel? ➡️ Timing and tone: When and how are you asking? Are you leading with the ask, or does it come naturally after you've provided significant value? Are you expressing gratitude and humility, or does it feel like a transaction? These aren’t just logistical questions — they’re relational ones. And every content creator will wrestle with them eventually, especially those of us trying to build channels rooted in purpose, service, and impact rather than just numbers. This is why the conversation matters. Because the way we ask — or choose not to — says a lot about the kind of community we’re building, and the kind of creator we’re becoming. ⚖️ VALUE VS. ASK: THE UNSPOKEN RATIO This might be the most important point of all: the value-to-ask ratio matters. At its core, this idea is about balance. Viewers come to a video hoping to learn something, feel something, or be entertained — and when the creators “asking for support” overshadows that, it can create friction.
