I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm exhausted. We've been going at 100 MPH since we started this business. It's not that it's a lot of physical work or that I'm having to deal with a lot of people or even that it's stressful. It's none of those things. In reality, we're still just beginning. We haven't even really hit the tough part yet. What makes this exhausting is the sheer mental focus it takes to start a business. Making a plan for success and seeing it through is extremely tough and takes a lot of creativity, especially in this field of work. However, we have a plan now. Ah, solid plan. We've been brainstorming daily on exactly where we want our YouTube channel to go. At first we thought just being bloggers was the right move. Since we were doing a block already, it was an easy transition to make and made sense to us after a lot of thought. Though it wasn't us, we didn't want to just be vloggers. Sam and I are both extremely creative people with a lot of grand ideas, so we needed to channel that match that extreme creativity of ours. So we came up with a pretty great idea. We can't share it with you just yet. We're still working out the details, but be ready for the future of our channel. It's gonna take a lot of work, money and connections. But that's where all ideas start. Either way, we will still be vlogging in the future, but it will turn into more of a behind the scenes type vlog for the main content we plan on releasing. Besides grueling over YouTube and its direction, we did get a lot done this week. If you weren't aware yet. We dropped the merchandise on the website. It took a lot of work in designing, but we released something we're proud of. This is just the first line of products, and we have a lot more ideas plan for that in the future. All of this work on exploring life has taken time and money. We've been waking up early every morning and staying up late in the night working on our ideas. Luckily, Sam has a pretty lucrative side business for photography, and I have a pretty stable job. Assume we've been able to invest pretty evenly into our dream. We still need capital, though, as there are some pretty huge expenses for us when it comes to the equipment needed for our YouTube idea. At the beginning of this week, Sam and I took a trip up to Austin, shake some photos for one of her clients. I'm really proud of her. She wasn't insane talent, and she puts it toe work. That was an interesting trip, considering it was below 40 raining and windy. We did an outside photo shooting that weather, and it was absolutely painful. Seriously, standing outside in that for two hours with a thin jacket on could not have been any more of a test of my patients. We did it, though. You gotta do what you gotta do if you want to be successful on. We're doing everything we can drive up to Austin and back was about an hour and a half each way. So our day was pretty spent by the time we got back. I'm trying to find a way to type out exactly what we did this week and have it all makes sense, but in reality was all over the place. Whether it be brainstorming, writing, photography, product design, scheduling side jobs, recording you name it. We've been doing it. That's why Sam and I are exhausted. We're ready to take a break this weekend and hand out candy to all the kids on Halloween. We're ready to take the day off and just relax at home and not do anything, which we rarely get to do now. Next week, though, the grind really starts. We start our new schedule, which will include our first days of streaming on. Twitch will be on stream 5 to 7 days a week. So look out for us. If that's something that interests you, we have some interesting goals to reach in the next coming months. So stay tuned on the block to keep up to date with us. Thanks for reading and have a happy Halloween.
