Summary
In this episode I'm talking all about getting out of a "flop era" - which is basically a time in your life where things aren't clicking - you may be working hard, and not seeing the results of it. I had a flop era in 2018 and really second-guess if I should even do YouTube at all. It was super stressful at the time and I was losing subscribers. This is how I climbed out of that and was able to, years later, reach my goal of making $1 million in one year. Although I will note, not every year is like that!

| 0:00.0 | Hi guys, welcome back to step by step with me, Shelby Church. Today's episode is going to be |
| 0:11.4 | about how I got out of my flop era and how I went basically from like a community college student |
| 0:17.6 | to making a million dollars a year, one year. Okay, I don't make that every year, |
| 0:22.3 | but one year I did. And so that's definitely a part of the story, a part of getting out of my flop era. |
| 0:28.6 | Also want to mention the audio quality is going to be not as good this episode and just a little |
| 0:33.6 | life update in general. If you saw the last episode, you saw, I did leave L.A. |
| 0:37.9 | Because, well, I had to dog sit actually for Monica. That's why I left. But also, there are wildfires |
| 0:43.7 | in Los Angeles right now. I am safe from them. I didn't technically have to evacuate. My place |
| 0:48.8 | is far enough away. But the air quality is really bad. I had to come out here anyway, but I did have to really rush to pack |
| 0:56.3 | and I forgot to bring my good podcast mic. |
| 0:58.5 | So I was really bummed when I realized that in the car right over, |
| 1:01.3 | but I think consistency is so key. |
| 1:03.9 | And that's something we're going to talk about today. |
| 1:05.4 | So I'm recording this episode anyway |
| 1:07.1 | with just a lavalier mic. |
| 1:08.9 | These are still pretty good quality. |
| 1:10.4 | Like I use them for all my |
| 1:11.3 | YouTube videos. Obviously, I wish I was using my actual podcast mic, but I think it's okay. We can |
| 1:17.1 | have one episode like this. Like, I think we'll survive, right? That's what's going on. I'll probably |
| 1:22.0 | be in Palm Springs for a couple more days and then I'm going to head back to LA. I talked about the wildfire a little bit in my last |
| 1:28.3 | podcast episode. This is not going to be about that. So I don't know if I want to like go on and on |
| 1:32.5 | about it. I've personally been scrolling and seeing so much about it. I almost need a little break now |
