Episode notes
From 80-Hour Hustle To Strict Boundaries
- Millie described early COVID-era hustle where she worked ~80 hours a week creating nonstop.
- She now enforces boundaries like finishing work by 2 p.m. and no content creation on weekends.
Quantity First, Then Quality
- Quantity is valuable early for skill-building and momentum, then naturally shifts to quality.
- Focusing on fewer, higher-quality videos yields better audience engagement over time.
Prioritize Video Quality Over Volume
- Slow down and invest more time in each video if it raises value for viewers.
- Better videos generate deeper engagement and more 'quality' views than many quick uploads.
