You Don’t Need Perfect Videos to Get Leads


If you’ve been thinking about doing more video for your business but keep telling yourself you’re not ready yet — this message is for you.

A few days ago, I decided to post a quick, unpolished TikTok video to promote a small networking event I was hosting.

No fancy setup. No editing. Just me, walking and talking to my phone.

Within hours, the video started blowing up — hundreds of comments, thousands of views, and people asking how they could join the group.

By the next morning, it had over 11,000 views and dozens of new connections from business owners who wanted to network and grow.

Here’s the truth:
Most people don’t get results from video because they overthink it.
They wait for the perfect lighting, the perfect words, the perfect time.

But the ones who win are the ones who just show up and share their message.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start using video to grow your business, I want you to take the first step today.

You don’t need to be tech-savvy.
You don’t need to be young or trendy.
You just need to start.

Cas.

Let’s get real for a second—many people over 40 hesitate to start on YouTube because they think it’s “too late” or that younger creators have the advantage.
