SELF SUSTAINING<br />
Her advice to anyone who is considering<br />
starting their own YouTube channel, basically,<br />
is to “fake it until you make it.”<br />
“Go in pretending like you’re confident,<br />
even if you’re not,” Bachus said with a smile.<br />
“You will be, eventually. Just go in, ready to<br />
do it.”<br />
As for the responses she has received from<br />
her audience, Bachus said she is happy with<br />
how receptive people have been so far. She<br />
feels like she has learned a lot so far, yet still<br />
has more learning to do.<br />
Regardless, Bachus is happy to have a<br />
platform where she can share the things she<br />
loves and maybe help a few people along the<br />
way.<br />
“I get my gratification (from growing food)<br />
when I don’t have to write things down on<br />
a grocery list,” Bachus shared. “The idea of<br />
going to the shelf at home and grabbing what<br />
I need … that’s where I get my gratification.”<br />
