Think Like a Content Creator (Before You Are One) | Ep. 17
Manage episode 517964180 series 3672693
The loop of consuming, doubting, and delaying ends when you flip the switch from consumer to creator. In this solo episode, Trevor Grimes shares how to think like a content creator before you have an audience—turning daily life into fuel for content and moving from “I can’t” to “what if I tried?” He lays out five mindset shifts that changed everything for him: quantity over clarity, inspiration is earned, your story is a strategy, consistency builds confidence, and done is better than perfect.
ㅤ
Trevor gets practical with a 30 day content practice plan: idea dumps, five posts in seven days, choosing a core topic, and building a simple system that trades motivation for discipline. Expect straight talk on posting when the lighting’s weird, showing up when it’s quiet, and building trust in yourself—1% better each time. If you’ve been waiting for permission, this is the decision: post it, learn, and keep going.
