I have found that live streaming video can be very rewarding in many ways. I am not just talking about financially. When building a brand you need to be recognized as much as possible. There is nothing that will draw people to you quite like live video. I know for many including myself live video is a no-go.
I have made quite a few live streaming disasters, things happen unexpectedly especially when your camera and microphone are on. I always had a stigma of not being on video at all for all of the usual reasons. I have said this before being comfortable is a great way to murder the life out of your business.
These upcoming weeks I have some medical appointments and family obligations that can not be moved or rescheduled. This has happened in the past and has gotten so complicated that I threw up my hands in desperation and had long periods of time with no online activity.
Building a business is very challenging, and can really be frustrating to the point of tears. On top of that the stress of the many ways a business can fail, with a little hardship and health instability, and whamo the perfect recipe for quitting.
Quitting never solved anything, in fact, it normally complicates an already over-complicated situation. The first thing I need to do is remember my why for starting the business. This is a useful practice to beat down the depression and anxiety attacking your business. The next best thing to do is work the business.
I started my business because I wanted earning money to be fun, and done on my schedule. This is the thing that hampers us. We know business building takes time, and people love seeing us on a regular schedule. If the reason for the business to be is so you may have your schedule be your own, then the schedule needs to be flexible. I have a pretty deep work ethic, and when I am not working I tend to feel guilty. This is something I need to get over.
I have managed to close off two days of the week Wednesdays and Fridays. I will follow the same pattern as before. At 2 pm eastern time I will stream Splinterlands and at 9 pm eastern time I will stream about my business journey.

Life can be challenging. I just try to find a level of consistency that works. Sometimes it is less ,sometimes it is more. You can only do what you can fit into a day.
Your rockin it. I love your shows.

Things don't always go your way but I think it will work out eventually. Just don't give up and it's tough to stay consistent.

Although you are 100% right that people love to see you working according to a schedule, I'm also a great example of someone that goes with the flow and has always done so. Yes, I show up every day to create emails (I only skipped 2 days in total) and yes normally people have more success sticking to one niche. For me, it never worked like that. And yet, things are going well.
Life asks for adjustments from time to time, and we just have to accept that and go with the flow in that phase of our lives. I hope your new routine works for you!

Oh boy! I can sure relate to this whole post.
But especially this part:
Building a business is very challenging, and can really be frustrating to the point of tears. On top of that the stress of the many ways a business can fail, with a little hardship and health instability, and whamo the perfect recipe for quitting.
Add to that the naysayers and haters and it's amazing that we stick to this business building thing at all.
While I was working for my cousin in the Accounting office, He blocked off one or two days in a week depending on what was going on with his workload. He wouldn't take any in person appointments on that day or those days.
Seems like you're doing the same thing with your live streaming schedule.

That is great that you have been able to set aside the time to do that. I don't think I could every do the live streaming thing. I am much too shy!
Do what you need to Chris, We will be here for you. Looking forward to seeing you back on camera tomorrow night.

Hey Chris, I've missed you, man. I will try to join you on Wed or catch the re-run.
all the best.
business building indeed takes time and quitting along the way is not an option!
ohhhh chriss, your posts are always helpful..well done my friend
I am with you. I can associate with your post and really appreciate your situation. Thanks for your sharing.
I love your spirit - you acknowledge and address the obstacles. That is the way to move things along indeed and move life out of the way.
