Overcoming the Initial Hurdle

If buying the required supplies to make is holding you back from doing videos then buy them, budget if you have too. Telling yourself you don't look pretty enough or your makeup is not good enough is holding you back. As long as you look 'presentable' you will be fine. I'm sure your pretty enough, plenty of 'ugly' people have made it huge on YouTube. You won't know how to edit videos until you try, quit living inside your own head. You are your own worst enemy. I had the same excuses you did, but I knew it is what I wanted more than anything, and I decided then that I would do whatever it takes to be successful at it, no matter how hard I have to work or for how long, I would make it happen no matter what. You need to quit making excuses and start making assurances. You need to be your own cheer leader. Quit being defeated before you even try. You CAN do this, don't ever use the word can't ever again. You CAN edit videos, you CAN look pretty enough to film, you CAN be funny, you CAN make it as a YouTuber! Just believe in yourself, like all of us here believe in you! Don't ever give up! Not today, not tomorrow, not ever!! You will succeed! You will triumph! You CAN do this!
