I love me some women that are straight up and real.
Sprinkle that with ambition, a killer wit, and weekly bite-sized YouTube videos on how to build a savvy, smart and oh so sexy business… 🙌  you have me weak in the knees.
For years now I’ve been following Amy Schmittauer, a YouTuber that is watched every week in over 179 countries with more than 600 episodes accumulating 3 million views.
A few months ago though, she came out with a video that made me love her even more. Â The video was in response to some video comment trolls (and yes she basically yelled at the camera).
Why? Â Not to defend herself. Â Not to send hate back.
Instead, because she knows that fear of rejection and criticism is the main reason people are afraid to hit publish on their videos. Â Because she knows her viewers are people who, unlike the trolls, are ready to put in the work. Â And because she wants to make sure any person who is inspired to create a video, does so knowing that even if they only get one view, it was worth it.
How did she build up her confidence to be able to speak her truth and say screw the haters? Tune into this week’s episode to find out…
