Why most people's 2025 YouTube goals failed

It's December

Which means it's time for the annual "what happened to my goals" reflection

And if you're like most people...

Your 2025 YouTube goals didn't quite pan out

Maybe you started a channel and uploaded 3 videos

Maybe you researched niches for months but never picked one

Maybe you bought a course and never finished it

Don't worry, you're not alone

I see this pattern every single year

And after helping hundreds of people actually succeed with YouTube...

I know exactly why most people fail

Mistake #1: They treat it like a hobby

YouTube isn't a hobby if you want to make real money

It's a business

And like any business, it requires systems, consistency, and strategy

Mistake #2: They try to figure it out alone

Look, I spent years trying to figure out YouTube by myself

Watching random tutorials

Following outdated advice

Making the same mistakes over and over

It wasn't until I got serious about learning from people who had actually done it that things changed

Diego went from $0 to $20,000/month in under a year

Because he didn't try to reinvent the wheel

He just followed a proven system

Mistake #3: They quit too early

Most people upload 5-10 videos and expect to be making thousands

When it doesn't happen, they quit

But here's the truth...

Keyson uploaded for months before hitting his first $1,000 month

Now he makes $10,000/month+

The difference between success and failure isn't talent

It's persistence

Mistake #4: They focus on the wrong things

Everyone obsesses over equipment, editing, thumbnails

But they ignore the fundamentals:

• Picking a profitable niche

• Creating content people actually want to watch

• Building systems that scale

So as we head into 2026...

Don't make the same mistakes

Don't treat it like a hobby

Don't try to figure it out alone

Don't quit when things get hard

And don't focus on the wrong things

Focus on what actually works

2026 can be different

But only if you do things differently
