Meet Marques "MKBHD" Brownlee. 30 years old, has 18.3M subscribers, 4.2B views and makes $3M+/year. But you haven’t met him at 10 years old giddy over his 79th subscriber. This video is his 100th video. A must watch for anyone that puts creative work out on the internet. It reminded me that “perfection kills progress”. At age 10, MKBHD wasn’t the best tech reviewer on the internet. But that didn’t stop him. In the first 6 months of putting out videos, Marques had already posted 200+ videos. The guy was just unapologetically hitting publish on videos. And did you watch the intro to this video? I mean, that intro got me fired up, but it wasn't exactly a Scorsese film. Many of us get lost in the “comparison trap”. You don’t start something because you don’t think you’re good enough. The reality is you aren’t good enough until you start something. Marques didn’t wait. He published his work. From the video: “I hope I get more subscribers if I upload great videos everyday” It turns out he did. 18M+ of them. MKBHD shipped 100 videos to get 74 subs. MrBeast shipped 100 videos to get 760 subs. PewDiePie shipped 100 videos to get 2500 subs. You get the idea. Hit publish first, get good later.
