How to Become Exceptional in Your Life and Business Journey

When I first started in business, I imagined my very first venture becoming a multi-billion success story. That would’ve made a great narrative, right? First try, instant success. But reality hit differently. My first three businesses failed miserably before I even began to understand the right strategies. And honestly, I'm still learning every day — still making mistakes.

One major mistake I made early on? I aimed for perfection before execution. I wanted everything flawless before even getting started. Now I’m a firm believer in this: execute first, polish later. Whatever your business idea is, even if it’s messy and imperfect, just execute it. You’ll learn faster, grow quicker, and figure things out along the way.

Quantity vs. Quality: The Eternal Battle

In YouTube content creation — just like in business — there’s always a debate: quantity or quality? Should you upload tons of not-so-good videos? Or post a few highly polished ones?

Same question goes for starting a business: is it better to fail many times or succeed perfectly on your first try?

Here’s my answer: BOTH paths require execution. Whether you go for volume or precision, you need to make a decision and start moving. Stop overthinking. Pick a path and execute.

How I Started on YouTube: Quantity First

When I began my YouTube journey, I chose quantity. I uploaded daily vlogs — raw edits, rough recordings, zero polish. But uploading every day taught me quickly. I learned what worked, what didn’t, and what to improve.

Once I got the hang of it, I shifted to quality. Now I upload twice a week, but with better edits, smoother presentations, and clearer messaging. I started with quantity, then transitioned to quality — and that’s the formula I recommend.

Why Quantity Comes First

If you’re just starting out, focus on quantity. Launch your idea even if it’s rough. Don’t wait for everything to be perfect — that mindset only delays your growth.

Perfection should never be the first step. We often get caught up buying all the “right” tools, investing in the best equipment, or hiring a team — before even launching. That’s the trap. Use what you have and just start. Even if it’s ugly. Even if you feel like a rookie.

I’ve had over 10 failed businesses — and that’s only what I remember. Some failures were so painful, my brain erased them from memory. But the first three? They were turning points in my life. That’s why I share them often.

So if you’ve had one business fail — don’t panic. You might have nine more failures to go! Kidding. But seriously — failure is part of the game. Just don’t stop. That’s the key.

Try This: The One-Month Business Venture

Here’s a tip I wish someone told me early on: start a “One-Month Business Venture.”

Don’t think about building something for life right away. Don’t pressure yourself to succeed instantly. Instead, try running a small business for just one month.

No need to quit your job. No need to hire employees or buy tons of inventory. Just launch something small. After a month, stop — and evaluate what you learned.

In that one month, I promise you’ll gain lessons that no course or mentor can give you. And most importantly, you’ll build momentum.

Start Small. Stay Moving.

Start as small as you can. Even if you feel like you’re starting from the bottom. Even if your tools are outdated. Just move. Because movement leads to mastery.

If you're new in the game, focus on the quantity of your execution. The more business ideas you test, the faster you’ll learn. Even if most of them fail, you’ll eventually figure it out — and when you do, that’s when you start focusing on quality.

Keep moving, Kasosyo. No perfect plan beats action.
