Why I’m Doing YouTube (Even Though I Don’t Have To)

Why I’m Doing YouTube (Even Though I Don’t Have To)

๐Ÿ“น Why I’m Doing YouTube (Even Though I Don’t Have To)

Let’s get one thing clear — I’m not doing YouTube because I’m desperate for views, money, or fame.

I’m doing it because deep down, I want to prove something. Not to the world. To myself.

๐Ÿ”ฅ A Personal Test of Consistency, Grit & Discipline

I’ve always believed in the power of showing up. But belief without practice fades. So I gave myself this challenge: publish, persist, and stay consistent — even when it's quiet. Even when the views aren’t there yet. Even when no one claps.

Why? Because the regret of *not* doing it — of never starting — would haunt me louder than the sound of an algorithm ignoring me.

This isn’t just about YouTube. It’s about proving I still have the grit. The discipline. The fire.

๐Ÿ˜ฐ YouTube Is Still Uncomfortable — And That’s Exactly Why I’m Doing It

Let’s be real — this isn’t easy for me. Being on camera feels awkward. Creating content publicly is exposing. But I *know* that real growth only happens outside the comfort zone.

Every time I choose to press "record" instead of stay safe, I expand what’s possible. And I’ve learned that the longer and deeper I sit in discomfort, the bigger the comfort will become later — and the greater the sense of achievement that follows.

Sometimes, we have to leap before we feel ready. Because you don’t know what you don’t know what you don’t know. And I refuse to limit my future to what my present self can currently imagine.

๐Ÿ’ผ From Tech to Self-Brand: Scaling What I Know

I’ve spent my career in tech — building systems, scaling teams, shaping enterprise user experiences that drive results at the top. I live and breathe strategy, leverage, and product thinking.

So it would honestly feel like a sin not to use those tools and skills to build something of my own.

YouTube is more than a platform. It’s a sandbox to test ideas. A channel to scale thought leadership. A future-proofed bridge between the work I’ve done and the legacy I want to leave.

๐ŸŽ™ When I’m Done Executing, I Want to Be Teaching

I love execution. But someday, I want to shift from doing the work… to teaching the principles. Speaking strategy. Helping others build systems that give them time and freedom.

This channel is my launchpad. A seed I’m planting now — to grow into a brand, a platform, a voice. And if it grows, it grows. If not? I’ll still be proud that I built it. Because the alternative is wondering “What if?” for the next 10 years.

๐Ÿ“Š Tech + Finance + Family = My Content Formula

Here’s what I’m building at AI Mom Lab:

  • Tech efficiency for real families
  • Finance through the lens of time leverage
  • Enterprise thinking applied to real life

It’s faceless, but deeply human. Rooted in systems, but built with soul. Created from a laptop, but driven by legacy.

๐ŸŽฐ The Algorithm Roulette Is Part of the Fun

Let’s not pretend — hitting “publish” is like pulling a lever on a slot machine. Some days, it’s a win. Most days, it’s crickets.

But every upload is a bet on myself. And every click is a data point, a step forward, a pixel in the bigger picture.

๐Ÿ” No Regrets. No Excuses. Just Forward.

This isn’t a hustle. It’s a habit. I want to wake up one day and say to myself - I did it. I did it and I succeeded OR even I did it and I failed but I DID IT. I tried and I failed but I will do everything possible to NOT fail because I do not want failure as an option. A slow, steady climb that might lead somewhere incredible — or simply remind me that I’m still capable of sticking with something hard.

That’s reason enough.


๐Ÿ“บ Follow the Journey

If any part of this resonates — if you’re building something, rethinking your goals, or just want to get smarter with time, money, or tools — join me on YouTube at AI Mom Lab.

I’ll be over there — posting, testing, building in public, and betting on myself. No regrets this time.

Why We Ditched GoDaddy (and What Moms Should Know About DNS, Hosting, and Financial Control in 2025) At The AI Mom Lab , I'm all about using smart tech to make life easier and more financially empowered — and that includes how we build and host our websites. This year, I decided to ditch GoDaddy’s default DNS setup. Why? Because their limitations were slowing us down — and in some cases, costing us money and stability. If you're building digital income streams or launching a content site, here's why it's time to rethink how (and where) your domain lives. ๐Ÿšซ The GoDaddy Problem I registered our domain aimomlab.com through GoDaddy, thinking it would be a straightforward experience.

Is AdSense really too much work for your return on time and investment?

Is AdSense really too much work for your return on time and investment?  How much can you make with AdSense? I haven't made a single dollar yet after 3 months of trying to get AdSense Approvals. Here's why: Really, is it worth it - is the juice worth the squeeze on this effort.  Maybe. I'm here to explore some of the pros, the cons and the detrimental journey they make you hoop through before you get to any monetization or even making $1. Then you can decide if it's worth it for yourself.  I started off three months ago thinking this is all going to be easy with the help of AI. I'll use ChatGPT, Perplexity and some other at this point commonly known tools. But I was wrong. First it was easy to come up with a few articles. I created 36 in my first month which was enough to apply. I figured it's unlikely I'd get approved the first time around, but I was still hopeful.  Then the rejection came and I was a bit surprised - what I was flagged for was not only low ...

๐Ÿš€ Brah.. What You’re NOT Doing to Monetize and Grow Massive Views on YouTube If you're stuck under 1,000 subscribers or your views flatlined you are not alone.. I'm here to tell you it's hard as hell and takes HOURS of 'joy'. Aka slaving away at your monitor. Most creators unknowingly skip powerful strategies that signal YouTube's algorithm, attract the right audience, and drive exponential growth. Let's uncover what top creators and Reddit power users know (but rarely say out loud). ๐Ÿ“ˆ 1. Forget Subs: Focus on Returning Viewers YouTube doesn't reward subscriber count the way it used to. One of the highest-impact metrics is returning viewers . “YouTube tracks how often someone comes back to your channel. If they return within 7 days, it tells the algorithm you’re addictive.” – u/turn0search2 How to use this: Build mini-series or recurring formats. For example, instead of random one-off videos, do “Money Mondays” or “Frugal Friday Hacks.” En...
