Hey friends, I grew my YouTube channel from zero while working full-time as a doctor, but the platform’s changed loads since 2017, so if I were starting from scratch in 2026, this is exactly what I’d focus on. In this video, I’ll break down the three S’s that actually matter: strategy, the core skills, and the systems you need to keep going long enough to win without burning out. Hope you enjoy it xx
