As creators, it’s easy to focus on creating content and to hope and pray for views, subscribers, and money. It’s a terrible business model.

If we really want to achieve the income and the impact that we know is possible, we’ve gotta play a bigger game.

Shelly Saves the Day began in the world of computer programming and expanded to manage projects and teams at Amazon, Google, and TubeBuddy.

She is a speaker, creator, and coach who specializes in helping creators to share what they love with the world through video and to make money doing it. For that to happen, we have to multiply our content and our income without going crazy in the process. Start taking notes, and start imagining what’s possible for you in this conversation with Shelly Saves the Day.
