Setting Goals (Day 6)

    So I have been over a couple small things and a couple big parts of developing yourself or making yourself a better commentator.  Now here is another small tip, and I feel that without this tip/trick the drive to become a great commentator, or anything you want to be in life for that matter, would just disappear.  And this small but very important thing thing would be to set goals for yourself.

    Think about it, if you don't set goals for yourself to reach then sooner or later there will be nothing to keep driving you to keep doing whatever it is you are doing.  Say if your want to be a football star or a computer programmer.  Both would need to have goals you would have to reach in order for those things to ever happen.  Now for football star a goal might be to make the team to start, then to start for the team, then to say win sectionals/regionals/state, and then be recruited by a college team.  The goals there would have to be reached in order to get to the bigger better goal and then finally become the star you wanted to be.

    Now being "YouTube famous" would be no different than that idea.  You would need to set starter goals for yourself and then build on those goals to sooner or later gain the popularity to become huge.  Small goals would include things like:

1. Make YouTube Channel
2. Upload First Video
3. Get First Unique View
4. Get First Subscriber
5. First Like/Comment/Favorite

Your mid YouTube career goals might be:

1. Get 1000 Views
2. Get 100 Subscribers
3. Upload 10 Videos
4. Gain 10 Likes On 1 Video
5. Gain 10 Comments On 1 Video

Then finally your channel starts to get bigger and bigger and the next thing you know is your setting major goals:

1. Get Partnered
2. Get Monetized
3. Get 1000+ Views Per Video The First Day They Are Uploaded
4. Manage 1000+ Subscribers
5. Reach 100 Video Uploads

    You can probably tell where I'm going with all this, but the point is there is always going to be something to strive for.  Only if you keep at it will you reach those goals, and not just give up.  Whether those goals be get 100 views or make YouTube's front page you should see a difference in yourself as you reach each goal you set for yourself.  Then you will find things get easier and easier and everything starts to go the way you thought it should.  The key is just believing, and you can start believing if you don't prove to yourself you can believe.
