🎥✨ The Power of Vulnerability in Creative Industries As a video editor and content strategist, I've always focused on polishing narratives. But today, I want to share something raw and unfiltered with my network. Recently, I hit a massive creative block. Self-doubt crept in, and I questioned my skills and decisions. It was paralyzing. But here's the game-changer: I decided to open up about it. The response was overwhelming. Many of you reached out, sharing your own experiences with imposter syndrome and creative hurdles. It was a collective sigh of relief, reminding me that we're all human, facing similar challenges. This experience taught me a valuable lesson: vulnerability isn't a weakness; it's a superpower. It creates genuine connections and fosters mutual support. By sharing our struggles, we not only lighten our own load but also empower others. So, here's my challenge to you: Share your story. What creative or professional hurdle have you been hesitant to reveal? Drop it in the comments. Let's build a supportive community right here on LinkedIn. Remember, in our industry, authenticity is key. Your vulnerability can be your greatest strength. It's what makes your work relatable and impactful. Keep creating, stay authentic, and let's grow together! 💪🎬 #CreativeIndustry #Vulnerability #ProfessionalGrowth #AuthenticityAtWork

🎬 From Setbacks to Success: A Video Editor's Journey 🚀 Hey LinkedIn fam! Just wrapped up a wild week in the editing bay. 🎢 Missed deadlines, tech glitches - the works. But you know what? It wasn't a disaster; it was a masterclass in disguise. 💡 Instead of wallowing, I dug deep. Analyzed every hiccup. Found gold in the chaos. Uncovered areas to level up, innovate, and grow. 📈 Here's the real talk: setbacks aren't roadblocks. They're detours leading to greatness. Hit a wall? Examine it. Find weak spots. Use them as footholds to climb higher. 🧗♂️ Start small. Master a new editing technique. Streamline that workflow. These tweaks? They're game-changers. 🔥 Remember, every creator's been here. What sets them apart? How they bounce forward. 💪 Next time things go south, breathe. Reflect. Learn. Use that knowledge to propel yourself. You might surprise yourself with breakthroughs. 🌟 In our content world, resilience isn't just about bouncing back. It's about bouncing forward, armed with new skills and insights. 🚀 Keep creating, keep growing. Who's with me on this journey? 💪🎬 #VideoEditing #CreativeJourney #NeverGiveUp #LinkedInCreators

The real struggle is when you choose an "Extrovert" career but you're an ambivert. All the introvert and ambivert can probably relate to this. Am I right? An hour ago, I messed up really badly in a meeting. It made me so sad, and I just wanted to write about it. Meanwhile, writing about this messed up thing, I felt like: "Don't write about this" Reason: "I felt like it would be bad if I talked about this on LinkedIn bcz, if I did my I'm going to make a bad impression and I may never be able to find a good opportunity" Like you all know, the overthinking is real. I'm kinda good at writing. Well, after my meeting, having sad heart I explore Lara Acosta profile (The Queen and inspiration for many people like me) The things I learned that: - It's okay to talk about our weaknesses because as a human it's normal to have some. - Take action, even if it takes time, because "Someone less qualified than you is doing what you want to do because they took action." Uff, I just love this. - If you want to get more leads, find the problem and provide the solution. I can't write everything that I learn from her posts bcz she is just an amazing person. So, if you’re looking to bring your Web3 games or any other games to life, let's connect. I can help make your game ideas turn into reality. Meanwhile, I’m also back actively on Topmate daily not only on weekend, so feel free to book a free coffee chat or talk about any topic. Let’s make some amazing connections! https://lnkd.in/dS5bgE74 P.S. Soon, I'll be coming out with my video content (Maybe on new year). And one of my favorite public speaking coach is Nausheen I. Chen. Any suggestion for me everyone on topic? #gaming #gamedev #communication #skills #content #meetings #ceo #creators #gamingcompanies #innovation #web3 #web3games #clients #international #writing #podcasts #gamingpeople

About a month ago, I received a message from someone who’s not just a friend but also a mentor and a brother to me. His request was simple yet exciting: “Can you do video editing for me?” He wanted content for Instagram and YouTube. I was thrilled but also honest with him. I said, “Yes, I can do it! But give me two days before I start.” Naturally, he asked why. My response? “I need to learn the basics of video editing first.” He smiled and agreed, trusting me enough to give me the time I needed. Those two days were the beginning of something unexpected and life-changing. From watching tutorials, experimenting with software, and making countless edits, I went from learning the basics to mastering my craft. What started as a small project to help a friend has now grown into something beyond my imagination. Fast forward to today—I’m proud to say I now have 4 amazing clients, one of them all the way from London! 🌍✨ This journey has taught me that it’s okay to start small, to ask for time, and to invest in learning. It’s not about being perfect right away, but about taking that first step, trusting yourself, and continuously improving. To anyone out there chasing a dream, just start. You never know where that first leap of faith will take you! 🚀 #FreelanceJourney #FromZeroToClients #DreamBig #KeepLearning #InthizamEdits #TrustTheProcess #CreativeGrowth #FreelancerLife

Even the protagonist of a movie, at some point, must be ready to pull a fight with the not-so-good guy in the movie (Antagonist). Likewise, to upskill as a person, you must be ready to pull a fight between indecision, your current situation, and where you are headed.

I was not able to control myself—I clicked on it. At the start of the video, Mradul was speaking alone, and I expected him to introduce Asil Khan soon, but he didn't. For the first 23 minutes, Mradul shared valuable insights, addressing some of my problems and clearing up doubts. He explained “The 6-month video Editing Challenge” in detail, breaking it down step-by-step, month-by-month. After the initial 23 minutes, he finally introduced Asil Khan, the founder of OneForEdits. Together, they discussed various topics, with Asil Khan sharing his knowledge and experience. By the end, almost all my questions were answered, Asil khan’s pocket got empty and I felt much clearer about my path forward.
