on this routine keep your business going Most people I work with tell methey almost quit or they did quit because they were not prepared for the reality check phase This is whenthings maybe start to

to get yourself back on track So you never missyour weeks or your months or your days of content creation it's very important You should start by carvingout one hour at least three times a week of focused new content time in thishour you should set a goal of creating x amount of content Here's a good example between 6to 7 a.m. Monday Wednesday and Friday I am going to create five short form videos one articleand one newsletter I'm going to do this every week week after week You can thenpredict numbers and results for your monthly quarterly and yearly This is how you scale This is how youcan build your business long term while keeping your content locked into that creator flow So make sureto follow make sure to comment down below Let me know what you do for your creativeroutine and how that works and what is the reality check phase OK The reality check phase in your contentcreation This is where most unprepared people quit This is the time period after the initial excitement hasworn off and you are left sort of wondering why did I even start creating content in the first placeThis is where I started to have doubts when I first started and it was enough to causeme to quit multiple brands over and over again This could have been avoided if I would havehad the right understanding which I did not and was prepared What do you want to do here to prepareLook 90 days in advance think that in 90 days the adrenaline may wear off andyou possibly will start to get bored If you are ready for this to occur you will notbe shocked when it does have three months of content prepared and scheduled ahead of time Thisreally helps combat this in the content creator Course I show you the importance of this routineand how I set up my own content system that production system So this never happens to me Youcan find that link in the description but use the excitement of starting as a newcreator to get ahead and prepare for when that excitement wears off If you budget your time correctly youcan create enough content in your 1st 90 days to last you in another 90 days you're preplanned and you'rescheduled So you do not need to worry about it When you start to get stagnant as a creator youcan fall back on this content while brainstorming and coming up with new ways to make your message freshinstead of allowing doubt to come in sort of take over and possibly quit altogether You are preparedto see these phases through comment down below Let me know what your content routine is and how that isworking and going for you Now let's talk about the sustainable growth phase of this process This iswhere your creativity could be nurtured as a new creator You will go through the initial excitement phase 1st 90days Then the reality check phase doubts may start to come in may start to question yourmessage If you get through that you will hit the sustainable growth phase The trick to this phaseis to prepare your content and preplan while you are in the excitement phase likewe've discussed once you hit the growth phase you wanna focus on two main things Number one isyour content calendar should always be at least two months ahead in your content planning And then number two getgood at analytics Simply use analytics to understand and measure your impressions your follows and your own linktracking This can be done on things like sales on your subscribers on your productsI use analytics to measure past results but mostly I use them to give myself motivation Ican see what is working I can see what is not working I can seewhere people are joining when they're joining and how my product sales are going and what is actually producingresults and what is not We all go through these phases So it makes sense to learn howto go through them well and learn from each phase Use the initial excitement to set your foundationand your content routine When the reality check phase sets in you will be prepared to squash any doubt andcome out that much stronger that much faster than most people are able to do Hitting the sustainable growthphase is not all smooth sailing but you've made it through the rocky times where a bigmajority of people end up quitting and now you have a solid plan being worked with monthsof cushion in place if you need it if you are looking to build a content production system for yourselfif you would like to do this in a structured format I recommend you check the channellinks you check the description and I will see you in the next one
