Hey YouTube Power Hour Squad!
Did you miss my YouTube LIVE? Fear not, this week’s solocast is a replay of my YouTube Live! Grab your notebook and get comfy, this episode is packed with advice you won’t want to miss!
Let’s talk about MINDSET. One of the things I’ve found is that your mindset can literally make or break you on YouTube. You can have all the editing, filming, and SEO skills in the world, but if your mindset isn’t right, NONE of that matters.
Everybody feels fear, apprehension, and anxiety, but the difference between people who are successful and people who aren’t is that successful people act in spite of their fear. Those that take action even in the face of fear rather than give in and become paralyzed by their fears are the people who will be successful.
When I decided to start my bootcamp and coaching business, I had that insecurity and fear too, but I KNEW that I had something to offer. I’m truly grateful that I decided to take that action and go for it, but I won’t lie to you… that insecurity still creeps in every so often. I get through it with my belief and my confidence that my program and my coaching are the BEST out there. I share my own story because YOU are the only person getting in your way. Nobody else.
What’s stopping you? What’s the worst case scenario? Why are you choosing to play it safe rather than walking through your fear toward your goal?
You’re the one who makes the decision to take action, whether the action you take is choosing to get started, to listening to this podcast or other resources, to starting to film on your own, to joining my bootcamp and taking the leap, it’s up to YOU to take that action.
It doesn’t matter how small the action is: even the smallest step is a step forward in the right direction. Fake it until you make it, right? The more action you take, the more confidence you will have.

MY FAVORITE BUSINESS TOOLS
Course Creation: Looking to create a course? Kajabi is the BEST platform hands down. I use this for my course after extensive research on all the other platforms.
Live Calls and Interviews: I use Ecamm for my podcast interviews, both audio and for YouTube that you see here on YouTube. It makes it super easy to share my screen and create the split-screen with my guest. I’m not super techie and this software is really easy to use!
Webinars and Live calls: I use Zoom.us for my group coaching calls in my private membership group for female YouTube creators. It’s also the software I use to record my Road to 100k YouTube Subscribers Masterclass!
THE BEST YOUTUBE/PODCASTING EQUIPMENT
After interviewing HUNDREDS of successful YouTube creators, these are the pieces of equipment that hands down get mentioned time and time again. You can’t go wrong with anything on this list!
- 4k Camera: Great for starting out and vlogging
- Lens: This lens is recommended highly by many of my podcast guests, it gives the blurry “YouTuber” background look.
- Audio: If you want to upgrade your set-up, audio should be one of the first investments (after a good camera). This microphone is unanimously the favorite amongst my podcast guests.
- Podcast/Voiceover Microphone: If you are looking for a great microphone for a podcast or video voiceover, this is it! This is the one that you see in all of my videos and the one I’ve recorded my podcast on for years.
- Webcam: For my interviews, that you see in my videos, this is the webcam that I use. Super inexpensive and easy to set up!
- Inexpensive Lighting Kit: Need to pick up some lights but don’t want to spend a ton? This is a great set that will get you started and help improve the look of your videos.
- Ring light: Looking for that beauty look? Invest in a ring light! This is an inexpensive light that does that trick!
