Transcript

Be careful who you listen to on this platform. I've been a creator for one year and one month and I've had creators take my ideas and twist and turn the words of it. I've had creators be nice, throw money up be in my live streams and then talk negatively behind my back without thinking I don't hear it. Um, so let's go ahead and get into exactly what I mean about. When you start creating and coming up with your own ideas, coming up with your own strategies, taking what you've learned and teaching other creators, how to implement it on their own. People are going to take take what you have because it works. The other side of this is people are going to take what works from your voice and make you look like you don't know what you're talking about because they only make money when they talk about somebody else. No one's actually really enjoying what they're creating, but when they start talking negatively about other people and what other people are building, then people follow. Be careful who you listen to, be careful who you consume, be Careful who you let into your mind, your thought process because truly, your thought process as a creator is one of the most important things that you should be protecting. And if you allow other people to alter it based off of one simple conversation, you're in for a treat later because now you're going to be more stuck, you're going to continue to go in circles. Be careful who you listen to.
