Lessons for YouTube Creators from Alexander The Great

At Promolta we do a lot of case studies about successful individuals and share key lessons.

Today’s subject is Alexander The Great. He was a fearless Macedonian king and a military genius. He conquered vast territories in the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Egypt, and parts of Asia in a remarkably short amount of time.

There are MANY valuable lessons for YouTube creators from Alexander the Great.

Here they are.

1. Have no fear

Alexander the Great was bold and frequently led from the FRONT. He never let his fear stop him. Imagine how great you can be if you were not afraid of anything? You would try so many more things and make more epic videos as a result.

Quote by Alexander: “Each moment free from fear makes a man immortal.”

2. Be resourceful

You have to find a way to get a lot done with little and always solve problems. Create epic videos on a limited budget and constantly innovate. For example Alexander the Great was able to defeat much bigger armies with his smaller force due to his WILL and creativity.

Quote by Alexander: “You shall, I question not, find a way to the top if you diligently seek for it; for nature hath placed nothing so high that it is out of the reach of industry and valor.”

3. Anything can be done

The dream you have is possible. Everything you have ever imagined can be yours. But, you have to take bold action towards your goals. Alexander the Great went further than ANYONE before him and conquered most of the modern world.

Quote by Alexander: “There is nothing impossible to him who will try.”

4. Don’t focus on money

Many creators focus on making money but, you would become much more successful if you instead focus on making epic videos. The money will come once you build a big fan base. Thus, enjoy the JOURNEY and the process. Focus on being the best that you can be and create amazing videos.

Quote by Alexander: “Bury my body and don’t build any monument. Keep my hands out so the people know the one who won the world had nothing in hand when he died.”
