Go here if you are interested: https://www.instagram.com/aleshampeterson/.<br/><br/>Here's the advice I laid out.<br/><br/>(P.S. I'm hoping to get this channel the same way, I don't expect it to happen over night.....)<br/><br/>Part 2.<br/><br/>I appreciate the enthusiasm. I do. I'm not an overnight success. <br/><br/>However there isn't enough ride or dies, or day 1 folks. Everyone wants to hop on the bandwagon day 400 and acted like they supported you the whole time, when they really didn't. This tough love from your girl might sound harsh, but I'm being for real with you. This same enthusiasm and energy needs to be a thing when a creative don't book the part, doesn't have a great day in business, even with a Youtuber who's starting out. This creative life ain't easy and it's not for everyone.<br/><br/>There needs to be cheering during the bad and ugly days too. Not just when you think there is something in it for you. Not just for the good days.It's not always pretty. There's not enough genuine energy or intentions out here.<br/><br/>Some of you went to school with me, you're not stupid. For a number of you, I'm the girl you took Tequila shots with?You were given the same life script I was. Go to school, graduate, get married, yadda. If you are following that and it makes you happy, great!!!! Or maybe you found out what I did. Listening to all that is not going to get me where I need to be. Listening to all that advice growing up made me the unhappiest I've ever been. I cut out my schools, my religion, my car I had at the time, everything. I rebelled. I do not mind being talked about by peers, mom friends or anyone, because living up to others expectations caused more harm to me than I care to admit. I'm very good at shutting out the excess noise. I took to heart the 5 regrets of the dying and ran with it.<br/><br/>When you go for it, you have to get used to being disliked by your peers. I will tell you I've been on the receiving end of nasty gossip throughout the years, because I didnt-don't want the same things my peers want. Then people you care about actually listen to that nonsense, and you have to cut them all out because they don't understand what you're trying to do. <br/><br/>I'm not a saint, a God, or Moses that parted the red sea. I went for it instead of trying to fit in the cliques or be liked. I decided a long time ago it's ok to be disliked, misunderstood, talked about like a dog and be lied on. I had a lot of periods where I distanced myself from people. (And after some of those messages I may do it again, WTF I'm no Youtube god. Omg)
