As 2023 is coming to a close, I wanted to look back at this years content creation journey, as well as giving an update for the upcoming year on the CoachRoan channel.
This year has seen the start of the CoachRoan channel, and I couldn't be more grateful! The original goal was 1k subscribers, but we have gone above and beyond that! The amount of positive responses has been incredible, and I want to thank each and everyone of you!
I've also had some time to think about what impact creating content has had on me, and to be honest: it's not the best. I've put in a ton of hours each week which has given me so much enjoyment, but it has taken a toll on my social life, my stress levels and my other hobbies
So for 2024, I've decided to scale down my content creation a bit.
Now I want to be clear: I'm not stopping or going to just a video a month or something. I just want to make a bit more time for myself and my other interests.
Hopefully this will still mean a video a week, but I can't guarantee it. Genuinely don't know how the other creators keep up with multiple videos a week, but that's not something I'm going to be aiming for anytime soon
Now will this negatively impact my subcriber and view growth? For sure. And that is something that I'll struggle with, as my perfectionism will certainly look at the lower numbers and make it feel like I've failed
But I've always had content creation as a hobby in mind, and I don't want to stress about my hobbies. So if there are any weeks where I don't have the time or just don't feel like it, I won't try and push through it anymore
Now this hopefully doesn't come across as ungrateful for the support I have been given. Every comment, like and view is something I still genuinely get happy about, and I can't thank you guys enough!
Happy New Year to everyone, and onwards and upwards!
Happy holidays to everyone!
I hope your days are merry, your future is bright and your xG is massive!

What should the new Discord Server be called?
In the last community post, I asked if people liked the idea of creating a Discord server for the CoachRoan channel. The response has been amazing, with a lot of you saying you would be interested in joining! I've begun work on setting up the Discord server, but I need your input on one crucial thing: What should the server be called? Let me know which option you prefer!
