Summary

Evan Carmichael has a YouTube channel with over 2 million subscribers. He didn't have a master plan. He built it up from scratch. And just followed a few simple rules (which you'll hear in this podcast). My favorite rule out of all of them is this: "Follow your momentum." Evan didn't know he'd be a huge success on YouTube. He just tried it and felt the momentum and followed it forward. Now he has 16 employees and gets letters from people who say "You believe in me more than anybody else in my life." Because his videos are built to inspire. This episode breaks down how he got his success on YouTube, what you should do if you want to start today, and he also covers his top tips for running an online businesses, how to shut out the doubt and negativity in your life and replace it with the messages that will actually make you feel happy, healthy, confident, capable, and so on.
