Terry Stevens, Excellent Video but...

Jul '25 (edited) • Tips! 💡

In today's live call Terry Stevens asked for thoughts on his 12 hour old new video. "Don't Wait for paint to dry" https://youtu.be/E3ooHDZ61lw?si=w9CRUI_C6mdarmaL

After the live call I watched the video and absolutely loved it. The lighting was good the audio was great. The message was clear and powerful and applies to many disciplines for example I think many Youtube content creators who find them who find themselves not completing on video ideas could really use this.

I think the current title is not going to find the people who really need the message. I think people who search YouTube for "how long does it take paint to dry" are going to be offered this video and when they realize it's not going to help with their house painting project they're going to click out of it early and hurt the retention time and the YouTube algorithm will think hey people aren't watching this video through so I'm not gonna show it to more people. I think people who are wanting help with how to finish their projects are not going to realize this video is perfect for them with the current title.

When I think of who needs this message I think of titles like this:

"Too many projects go unfinished?"

Here are some other ideas from Gemini:

Stop Starting, Start Finishing! (Direct and action-oriented)
The Project Graveyard: How to Avoid It (Highlights a common problem)
Don't Let Enthusiasm Fade: Finish What You Start (Emphasizes the core message)
The Cost of "Later": Why Projects Die (Highlights the negative consequence)
From Idea to Done: Conquering Project Procrastination (Positive and solution-oriented)
The Unfinished Business Trap (Intriguing and relatable)

Terry asked for thoughts so chime in with your thoughts.
