This one took me 15 days to complete, but I’m happy to report that in those 15 days I surpassed 100 subscribers😊 I’ve learned so much in the last year (I posted my first video on May 10th 2025) after posting 30 videos - mostly long form. I still have so much to learn, but thanks to this community and my amazing supporters I’m still excited for the YT adventures😀 @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Jaye Brunner @Adam Tinkoff @Ricardo Solomons @Dajana K. @Cat PInegar @Virgil Rucker @Lillie Handy Dominguez

I'm relaxed today after recording the 1st video for the pivoting of my Channel with 2239 Subs. I'm curious to learn what impact it will have on current subscribers as it's a totally different niche and what viewers YouTube will share it with. The Starting Over At Any Age began!😻😍🙏 Onward to more recordings. Some shorts for marketing and continue what Alexa has shard upto Day 14. Relaxing with my 3 Cats. This is Pootie Tigger. 4 yrs, that I stepped on accidentally and he bit the back of my ankle & got very infected. Because of his Bite. Laying in bed 5 weeks, I began this Shifting..Starting Over Chapter in my life. Onward to Day 15.

As you know, it has been an intense period for me, but I did not quit and I do not quit... I Continue!!! It was almost a month (22 days actually), but I never quit. I talked about it and worked on it daily even though you did not see me post about it. Silence is golden and with that golden nugget, this Day 15 is completed & proof attached.😁 It is important to take care of your priorities and address obstacles that interfere😅. Then there are advancement opportunities that shifts the growth cycle📈. This is what happened in the last few weeks: - served 7 clients (including 2 emergency clients) - started my Skool Community for this pivot & learning everything😁 - updated my profile here twice - took a business trip and this CBS challenge with me😀 - met with in-person & virtual colleagues & collaborators - joined a couple of Skool groups that will benefit this entire career shift of my retirement business (Thanks, @Mike Bayer , @Des Dreckett, @Alexa Saarenoja's new group--all are Game Changers!💥📈🔥) - secured a CRM for this business🔥 - had urgent home roofing repairs done - prepped two trade shows, & done - recorded and edited videos - computer maxed out of memory!!!😨 - prep for in-town guest for business interview of me - and even more I won't mention I'm just documenting for my own reference, but you can enjoy the above (or get exhausted reading it, lol😆). For me, can't stop, won't stop💪🏾. In my past, I hate numbers and do all kinds of creative things with them. But this day, like many of the other days in this challenge, was encouraging. I am going to like the numbers!😍 The ultimate lesson was Alexa's final statement: -CTR brings my clients in -AVD keeps my clients watching -Engagement shows my clients I care That's it! I'm all ready for Day 16--this one is going to be exciting too!😀 Side Info: -Current Niche: Teaching Gift Basket Biz Startups

Another very good day of learning about what happens right after my pivoting to gain at least 100 new subscribers. ● Learning about other similar creators where the audience is overlap with mine ● how to leave thoughtful comment on other creators videos ● learn how to engage on my own videos by pinning a comment, types of replies, questions to ask and follow-ups ● brainstorming on shorts, getting the hooks for each short ● ideas on who and how to collab with other creators ● listing three to five small creators I could collaborate with, very interesting ● learned how to offer them value ● how to write my micro-collab pitch, either in Skool Community or Adjacent Creator's Videos by commenting on their video ● what video or short to collaborate on first So many great ideas for videos and shorts and interact and collaborate with other creators my size or even a bit larger or smaller. If anyone else is documenting a similar Journey, starting over, pivoting I'd love to connect. Onward To Day 17. Thank you in advance Cheering Squad!

Well, this one caught up with me. I'm tired. (There it is; I'm not the EverReady Bunny after all.) I will revisit this one for sure. Plus I love the idea of doing shorts to drive traffic to my long-form videos. I watched this video 4 times. My notes are empty, to me, but here. I decided to return to working this challenge in the mornings after my devotions. I am fresher and have a clear mind. I won't stagnate, but will move on to Day 17 because I am going to revisit their entire series after it's completed.
