The Cycle of Production, Production, Post Production, and Post Production

I think anywhere from mie two times a week to three or four. And a lot of those were big video so it was like to stay up all night working. The day we post i would take a half day off, and then it would just grind. Is that an inevitable reality for anyone who wants to become a creator? I do feel like if some one's dedicated enough, they are going to push to that point where it's an endless cycle. They need to find work, work rounds. But each video, if for me, no matter what, it felt like an investment, like i took very big risks. Some of them paid off, some of them didn't.
