"It might not work" - has 2 meanings: 1. prepare to be disappointed so that you can give up, or, 2. prepare to keep going till it works

20% fam really showing up in the comments.

I wanted to share something quick - the first sentence "a year has come and a year has gone" was something I really leaned into. I feel like the idea of chasing our dreams usually is dependent on if people enjoy whatever it is we do - we usually give them the power to define if we were successful - for me , it was do this thing for one year - one year just go for it all out - and I really encourage you, no matter what just go for that thing for one year

20%! One year from now I want to have a great collection of videos to look back on. Your videos made me take a break on my career and pursue KZfaq. I’m feeling inspired again and writing 5 scripts simultaneously. Thanks for all your hard work and openess! You’ve changed my life. Also bought a brick and that’s been giving me my time back to focus on IRL activities. ❤ Much respect and keep going! The world needs your voice. 🎉

20% family! Keep after your dream Andrew, I'm super glad I found your channel!

I’m part of the 20% family! In one year I want to have 1 year of discipline and consistency showing up for my self and dreams, making youtube videos is one, I love your content, it’s so inspiring and it just makes me want to do it more❤

Super refreshing perspective, I love it! Well done mate, you’re doing amazing.

20% - the Dream Team! To be honest, in 1 year from now i want to do what you are doing now, content wise. The mix of filmmaking and storytelling in a self-improvement, reflection type way is just the perfect middleground in my life right now. I always struggle with motivation or self-sabotage, be it procrastination or saying „i need this for that“, but still there is this voice and hope in me that just knows that it´s gonna work out. Sometimes it just does require a lot of hard work and i´ve never done that for myself - which is about to change. Thanks for your videos, your thoughts, your perspective, your voice - you matter and inspire so many out there to pursue their own dreams. Never stop creating and always trust the process! See you in 1 Year ⭐

20%! In a years time, I hope to be out of this creative rut I've been in and finally create the short film I've been developing over the last 5 years. Keep up the good work man! Love your videos!

The inferiority complex to superiority complex to inferiority complex pipeline really be like that. Also, "focus on the inputs and the outputs take care of themselves" is a great revelation to have. Banger video, cinematography going crazy

Finding your KZfaq channel was one of the best things that have happened to me this year! You are an incredible inspiration. Worrying what other people think of me; my successes, my failures, has completely hindered me from starting creative projects & expressing my thoughts & sharing who I am. Thank you for sparking the courage in me again. Committing to a year of following my dreams ❤

This hit me so hard. Right words at the right time. Thank you so much for being so open and sharing this video. It takes a lot of courage to open up the way you did, and that courage made this video one of my favorites. 20% here

I am a part of the 20% who reached the end. I have some big dreams, but if I had to think within the context of a year I'd certainly want to be in a much more healthier state, both mentally AND physically. That mean finally putting in the good work to start losing some weight and body fat. I'd also like to start exploring my passions for real this time and not leaving them dry out as untouched ideas. That means signing up to drama/film clubs, getting a camera and starting to create some projects I and some friends have had in mind. Slowly picking up drawing again. Now, I am writing all this as the thoughts are coming out one after the other unfiltered, and I realise that this is a plentiful list. I have to concentrate on one, so I can in the future move on to the next. A new day has come, and I'm slowly getting there.

I recently got your vids recommended, this really struck something. So many things happened since I started to follow this road. Since graduating half a year ago and starting an agency things haven’t been easier, running out of savings and in need of some income.. Been hunting for a part-time job for months now. Anyway, our first post goes online this weekend and I’m looking forward to building something I have control over, as you said. Purpose has gotten me so far, and I’m sure it can take me further. Videos like these really feel like resting points along the journey, thank you. I dropped a sub, can’t wait to see what’s next. Keep up the good work. Godspeed!

thank YOU for chasing your dream. there are people like me "behind" you, in terms of support and in terms of us chasing our own dreams, who are learning from your journey. im 5 months in so far and im learning a lot. cheers bruv! (20% gang 🤝)

20% - congrats on 1 yr! Way to persevere. Very valuable advice to detach from the extrinsic motivation and focus on intrinsic motivation. Thx for your vulnerability and authenticity.

20% - This is just what I needed to hear right now, I’m about to make a big jump to follow a dream I’ve had for years. Thank you for this message :) Keep going

Your videos are like taking medications for me. You are saving lives. Thank you. keep going.

I'm part of the 20% family. Love your videos man! I started KZfaq at the start of the year then stopped after the first 2 videos, convinced I didn't have the right gear or knowledge to make good videos but I have kept learning over the last 5 months and feel I have improved in many ways plus have some better gear now too. You've inspired me to start my year afresh, properly this time to post consistently for a year.

Appreciate your insight and being so open about your experience without sugar coating it. Agree with your perspective reflecting back instead of always forward, something we often forget to do

20% gang!! your videos are so inspiring i’ve been battling the fear of being seen which has been holding me back from really going for my dreams but you’re creation, rawness and authenticity is something so many creators lack and i’m so glad i’ve landed onto your channel

I love the videos you make so much that I often find myself longing to do what you do here so beautifully. But I see how much of a discredit that is to your work, and it is why I will likely only ever have the pleasure of appreciating this art form from the outside. Because there is a truly soul consuming attention to detail and devotion that goes into making any art that is worth admiration. It is so easy to arrogantly diminish the effort of your results, and simply want to switch lanes in the ignorance of all the obstacles your art has to offer in exchange for the obstacles I know to exist within my own. So thank you for showing me time and time again the results of hard work, these reminders may very likely be the only thing that will keep me from straying the path of my craft long enough to see it's fruition. Congratulations on another fruitful labour, I look forward to what you do next.

Excellent in every way! Thank you for the inspiration and honesty. I just turned 64 and am starting a second career. You are solid proof that we have much to learn at any age. I already knew that, or at least hope I knew it. Your video drove it home. Thank you!

20% fam! After so many years on KZfaq, I finally decided to start my channel. I found your channel recently and I've been binge-watching your videos. I just wanted to say that this content really resonates with me. It's validating to see someone address the same feelings I have now, and I'm also incredibly inspired by your progress in such a short time. Keep up the good work!

Amazing video man! Related to a lot of what you said with the KZfaq journey. Excited to have found your channel 👏🏼

I’ve loved getting to see your process Andrew! Thank you for being transparent and out the ups and downs. I’m starting a year of KZfaq and am hoping to be consistent July to July! Encouraging to see your work.

really grateful for your content. loving it! thx man!

Hi Andrew! I just wanted to thank you for giving me the motivation to start my own KZfaq channel and begin traveling the world. Your videos have been such an inspiration!

This video came at the perfect time. I just left a career after 25 years and have been inspired by your videos and words to try YT or at the very least document what the next chapter looks like wherever that may lead me. Thank you for your videos!

20%! The colors and composition in your videos are so fantastic and fresh! One year from now I hope to still be working with my hands and creating. I worked in office administration for more than 10 years. In that time I went to school for a bachelors and a masters degree. Since I was a child I loved to sew but had stopped exploring with fiber and material for many years. In 2022 I left my admin job and was burnt out. I had made so many life decisions based on wanting people to think that I was strong, confident, very responsible and professional, but I lost the child within. Over the last year and nine months I’ve come back to myself, praise God. My inner child has come out of hiding and I’ve explored so much in fiber art. I also finally let myself say that it’s ok if I don’t want to turn my creative passions into a business, it doesn’t make it any less valuable to me. On Monday I start a full time sewing job where I’ll be sewing outdoor gear for a company who makes all their gear right here in the US. I’m so excited that I finally get to use the sewing skills that I started to develop at age 12 for work now, and I love that I just get to keep stitching miniatures and creating art as a hobby. That is such a gift to me. Thank you for sharing your story with us, Andrew!

So good bro! Encouraged and inspired. A year from now I’d love to see cafe up and running

Becoming a member of 20% family! Thanks for your encouragement in the video and I will continuously chasing my dreams. Cheers!

20%here! Thank u so much u told the reality which was much needed at this point..from 1 year now i hope i stick to the plan of posting KZfaq videos for 1 year document my life to the fullest

20% ...man this is some next level bar you've raised. always been an inspiration. keep growing

20% You should be proud of yourself. You’ve produced amazing content that I enjoy, truly. Keep it coming. It’s inspiring to see as someone just starting out on KZfaq. 💙

Thanks for this, Andrew. Ever since pursuing a creative path around 3 years ago, resistance has been my biggest enemy. No amount of books, KZfaq videos, or Reddit threads have done anything to directly change that. In fact, they are a means for me to mentally avoid the real work that needs to be done. I really think that overcoming resistance or getting out of my own way is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. And I don't think that will ever change. However, I do believe I can get better at it. It is incredibly frustrating to see artists that can be consistently great and to assume that they don't deal with the same struggle. However, videos like this reinforce that everyone deals with it, and that it is possible to take one step at a time and overcome that resistance. I believe and wish that everyone who reads this can overcome, day by day, the side of their mind telling them why they shouldn't or even can't do what they believe they can. Anyways, this is my sign to get off KZfaq, stop thinking about the outcome, and just go take a step.

"All I can see us forward and don't have" Relatable 😮‍💨

20% - thank you for such inspiring, grounded content ❤ your video and thoughts are truly uplifting

always a 20%. i didnt think i would find someone so relatable and inspiring, your videos always come when i needed to hear them ty

Dude loving your every single video with filmmaking or great tips thanks for doing. keep going!

I am the 20% 🎉 and that’s down to you. Today I sat here uninspired, blocked as I need to Crete a travel video for my page. Now I feel inspire to be myself. To maybe share these blocks and to keep it real and authentic. THANK YOU for being a beacon of light on a dark day. You are appreciated and so glad I found your channel. Pleeeeease dont stoop creating these videos ❤

20%- Thank you so much for being honest and making this video. I have been struggling and realised I've been low-key self-sabotaging myself from achieving my dreams as I have been scared to put in my 100% in case I fail, as I'm tired of letting others control what happens to me (my dream is get a job at a prestigous firm as I've graduated with an MBA earlier this year, which was a miracle to achieve in of itself). But watching this video and hearing what your dad said has helped me put things in perspectve- I can't control what other people think or choose, but I can control how I act and move forward. So, thank you again and I hope to see you continuing to film a year or 10 years from now. -Eddie

Each video is a cinematography love letter, and your thoughts and genuineness shine bright. Thank you for the inspiration.

20%! I've been following your videos for awhile, and I absolutely love them. A few have definitely brought me to tears. Lately, I've really been struggling to find the WHY and defining my dreams. I have a moderately successful life & career. But the last 5 years seemed to have completely supplanted whatever WHY I may have had earlier in life with pretty large hole. I don't currently know what my dream is. However, my current plan is to buy a house and be moved in and living outside of the city by this time next year. At the end of that plan, I'll be closer to family, less distracted by some of the minutia of life (hopefully), and have achieved the goal of owning a home. I'm hopeful that this transition will put me a place to truly find my WHY. So, all that said, next year when you post a follow up video to this one, 🤞I'll be able to say how much I love my new life and post my goals/plans/dreams for the following year. Thank you, and keep up the fantastic work!

Love you man! This is something that i needed 20%

This really spoke to me! I really love all the work you put into this video! The dedication shows! One year from now I hope I’m selling my pottery but I struggle to practice atm. I’ll change that!

This video is the embodiment of “If we choose to share what we make, our work can re-circulate and it becomes source material for others” It’s only up from here for you brother, thank you for the inspiration and sharing your art ❤️

EVERY SINGLE TIME i watch your videos i always sob because you always know what to say and know what im also feeling and articulate them so well, its so refreshing and always a release that i needed!. you're sooo right about us trying to accomplish something just to get the validation from others and being accepted when it should come from within and just being proud that we're trying

My dream too is to become a KZfaq vlogger. Yesterday was my 34th birthday and I decided I’m going all in on trying to make the best videos I can, improving with each I post. Thank you for all inspiration. Your videos truly have given me hope. When I post a video, I’ll come back and link my new channel here. To continued success, cheers!

you're so inspiring man, really well done on your journey

This is one of the best, honest and super smart channels on KZfaq. I genuinely enjoy watching your videos.

Really Inspiring. Your transparency is empowering. You are spreading hope! Thank you!

20% Fam let's gooooo! Great stuff mate, keep going, you're doing great and sharing great stuff!

i have to thank to you, i am glad i found your channel, your videos are really motivational and i really felt connected thank you and wish you all the best, keep going

Mate I’m currently in a two week upload schedule and I feel like I’m def burning the candles at both ends, writing, presenting, acting, editing, lighting mostly by myself …..it’s a lot. This video resonated with me a lot brotha, it’s good to check yourself and remember how far you’ve come and what you’ve got and be in the now, because the fact is more….is more but it’s f&?kin exhausting chasing it. Anyway another Stella video as always 🤘🏻

20% here! and all I can hope for in a year is to be well, lose my fear and start with all the projects I want, I'm coming out of a bournout and it's been difficult, but I still have a lot to experience and a lot of art to spread around the world. Thanks, your videos realy help me a lot

20%! It’s fun watching you grow. KZfaq pushed your video to me, I am happy about that! You’re headed up and up! Great title, great video, great job 👏🏼

20% ive been working on my self lately, u just inspired me to do the 365 days thingy and a lots of things in the past, i really appreciate what youre doing

For someone just starting out on KZfaq journey, this video is what I needed to reassure myself that "Things might not work out" and only focus on things that I can control. Glad that I watched this video til the end. Thanks for sharing your journey, Andrew. Here's to the next 367 days!

That was STRONG!!! Thank you for your time and effort to put this together!

20%er...I truly appreciate your authenticity and I can tell anyone in your circle is lucky to call you a friend. 1 year goal..wow..you think you know what you want until someone asks you that question. I'd say besides going full-time on KZfaq, I just want to get better each day at my craft. I mention this often, but I've been on YT for 10+ years, built a large channel and left that in the past. My interests and direction changed, so I'm essentially starting this journey all over again which can be scary at times. However, its never a loss because the skills we learn along the way cannot be taken from us. I say all that to say, I'm happy people like yourself never gave up cause the content you create impacts people. I'm truly happy you are finding success and doing what you enjoy..just know that documenting your journey is helping people with their own. ~ Gabriel

20% 🙏 I appreciate your sentiments and sharing your experience, as well as your storytelling style. My 2 years of KZfaq has been split with running my small business. It's such a juggling act so I'm feeling like I'm not giving either the attention they require to grow well. I said a year ago that I wanted to make a decision to priori KZfaq and that hasn't really happened. So this been a stark reminder that time moves so fast.

Great video once again! Good job and good luck with your journey!

Thank you for sharing the reality of how things are! Dang so happy to hear this message and how incredibly refreshing to listen to. One year of now I want to be happy with who I am

I just made it 1 year into writing an article a week for my project management business. I have 500 email subscribers, 1400 followers on IG and 1200 in LinkedIn. Proud of me for not giving up.

thank you for being so vulnerable you really inspiring! 20% fam

Very cool video! Thanks for making!❤Sending good vibes from Norway!

I think this is the second or third video I saw of yours and I loved them all. They make me feel good and enough and seen. Thank you for that! In one year from now I want to also have made it to a place where I can monetize on KZfaq. It is a goal I don't have full control over, like you said, but for now I'm planning to upload one or two videos per week and be as authentic as possible. I want it to be something I really want to make, rather than ONLY doing it to get views etc. And that goal is part of my greater vision to have space to rescue more animals and share my vision and my life with the world. Thank you Andrew!

Hoping the 20% family will grow bigger. I want to do what makes me happy rather than waiting until i feel like I’m able to and end up doing nothing. I want to look back and see everything i have to show. Great or not i want there to be something from me to be happy about and see progress among those things art, graphic design, videos or just in myself. ✌️&💖

"All I can see is forward and what I don't have." That hit home. I have a similar experience. Plus the other uncontrollable challenges of life, to pursue my dream becomes taxing. But when I think about it, a good percentage of it is from my mind. And even the percentages left can be influenced by my mind. So yeah thank you for this video! It put things into perspective and reminded me of what's important. I've been thinking about this topic for the past 4 days. So this video really came in clutch. lol (20% fam) 1 year from now I hope I'm alive and have published 100+ newsletter issues and posted at least 100 videos on KZfaq (no matter the quality of the audio). And also just enjoy the joy of creating and let go of things like validation from other people and monetary validation. Keep up the good work, mate! It's been wonderful watching your work.

20% here! Beautiful story and video, thank you for sharing!

thank u for sharing this great experience Andrew.. keep moving forward!!

You’re so underrated man! I’m 19 and I’m so inspired by your story! Keep it up man!

One year from now I want to be one year ahead on the path to my dream of expressing myself artisticly.. thank you for putting out your work, man. Never felt in a community this much before. So glad to be part of it.

20% Fam! ❤ Love to you and your beautiful emotional work! What a ride. Thank you for doing this and keep going in that way. I want for myself a year from now, that i am myself. Coping with anxiety, be wild and filled with laughter and love for me, my daughter and my family ❤ feel hugged andrew!

Thank you for this video. It's very interesting for someone like me who has often faced doubts about their goals and dreams. Although motivation is helpful, its impact didn't last long for me. Listening to people like you talk about their early challenges online has helped me feel less isolated and more confident during my twenties......and yes I will surely come back here this day nxt yr. !!!

Brother ur editing is another level love it 💕

Marvelous video, great inspiration. Thanks for this great moment, I hope for you and all of us the best for the next year ! 20% is a great number, but the pleasure of watching your work is 100 :P Cheers mate !

Holy shit. "My reasonings weren't fueled by the desire to achieve something great because I loved it. It was to prove to others that I was something more than my OWN PERCEIVED THOUGHTS OF HOW I WAS VIEWED." What a line.

20%, love your stuff! Thanks for sharing :)

Fantastic video!! Keep it up, love your commentary and introspection

20% is here ! the way i’m immediately smile when i saw that new video from you came up✨

20% here too. Happy to have found you; i truly enjoy your perspective and clear thinking. In a year, I plan to have attempted to run a small business on the weekends, in hopes of turning it into my day job. My goal in that period is to pay for the equipment with profits. We'll see where life takes us!

20% fam is here to support you! Keep doing what you're doing!

A proud member of 20% Team here. As I was watching your video I started thinking about how was my life on July 1st 2023 and from there I travelled through many ideas, wishes, dreams and what ifs. Im content with where I am and who I became now, but I don't know who I will continue to evolve to, and where, and how. It is interesting tho, instead of depressing, because character development is continious and it happens either you put intentional effort or not. This way of thinking keeps me sane and fine. However, sometimes I wish to be someone who is so dedicated about one specific thing and just goes for it with all means and energy. I guess one cannot fit all to a lifetime, so gotta be happy with the way we are :) Appreciate your thoughts and the way you visualise them, you are actually so good. Thank you!

Dman, man is making movie out here. Keep up

20%fam! Thank you for creating colors that show the beautiful world in such vibrancy. Love!

I’m 9 months into doing the same thing. I love seeing other people share their experience. Love this!!!

Hey Andrew! Incredible video! You’re inspirational for me, i started to make videos of my travels, and actually stay travelling in New zealand, and im getting adventage of this landscapes and amazing views to male a documentary like this. Thanks again for your inspiration.

20%. This was so inspiring. Thank you!

Thank you back man! glad I found your channel!✨

You're my new inspiration on KZfaq buddy. Proud of you, and keep crushing things! 20% gang gang

20%- I think it’s so relatable the how you said you are where you wanted to be 1 year ago yet you’re still reaching outwards as if you’re still not there. I’ve experienced that feeling and it sometimes it’s just exhausting and overwhelming but I will over come it 🤞🏾

20% fam i appreciate your videos man it makes a real difference.

20% ! Your cinematic videos inspire me to create . In a year from now I want to be overall in a better shape , mentally and physically. I am picking up creating content and with intent of being there and putting myself out every week , I want to create stories & share my experiences

20% Fam 😎 Thank you, man, for such an inspiring video! I, too, have a dream to start my KZfaq channel, but each month I let fear win and push it back. Your words today have given me the spark I need to just get on and do it! Happy 1 year 🎉 I wish you all the success!

Man, your Videos really make me wanna do more creative stuff and being a kid again. Thank you very much, keep on going ❤

I really like your style of editing, illuminating, reflecting and sharing thoughts. Keep up the good work! Hello from France.

Keep doing you man! I love your videos, they are so so artistic. How did you learn your composition and shooting skills? 20% gang!
