Hey Reader,

Eight years ago, I hit “record” on my first YouTube video, not knowing what I was getting into. I decided to challenge myself: 30 videos in 30 days.

I didn’t have fancy equipment, a great plan, or even an audience. What I did have was a desire to start creating, even if it wasn’t perfect. Those 30 videos weren’t polished, but they taught me how to show up, find my voice, and push through self-doubt.

That challenge changed everything. Today, as I look back after reaching 100,000 subscribers, I can confidently say it all started with those 30 days of consistent effort.

Why am I telling you this?

Because I know what it’s like to feel stuck, unsure where to start, or waiting for the “perfect moment.” But here’s the thing: momentum doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from doing.

That’s why I put together the Create30 Challenge—to give you the tools, support, and structure to start creating and keep going, no matter where you are in your journey.

For 30 days, you’ll:

• Create: One piece of content every day.

• Learn: Dedicate 20 minutes to mastering something new.

• Connect: Interact with 5 fellow creators to build your network.

• Clarify: Spend 5–10 minutes journaling about your goals.

It’s simple, powerful, and completely doable.

The challenge runs from January 27 – February 25, 2025. You can join for free or level up by joining the HeyCreator community for $30/month to access extra support, expert calls, and more.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Let’s make 2025 the year you stop waiting and start building something amazing—one day at a time.
