5. Content creators need to offload daily stress and detach emotionally from content performance.
6. Content creators often downplay their wins and attribute them to external factors while taking full responsibility for losses.
7. Ego and confidence lie on opposite ends of the spectrum, and content creators often develop egos due to the link between self-worth and performance.
8. Surrendering the need for a guarantee of success is freeing because it is impossible to control the future.
9. Content creators often find success when they create content without any expectations of success.
