104. The End

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,060 It's all over. 2 00:00:01,060 --> 00:00:03,640 Everything is over. 3 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:04,600 Let me explain. 4 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,120 So if you watch the last episode, 5 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,560 I realized that daily one hour episodes does not work. 6 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,400 So then I cut it down to however long I needed 7 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,680 the episode to be is how long it was. 8 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,320 And then I realized that daily episodes 9 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,680 is not what I wanted to do because 10 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,920 I want higher quality episodes. 11 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,920 So then I decided to take a break. 12 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,040 And it was fine because I had seven episodes scheduled 13 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,960 ahead of time to be able to just not record for a few days. 14 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,200 And I was still posting daily episodes. 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,000 So it's been a few days, probably 16 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,520 been like three or four days since I recorded last episode. 17 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,520 And the exact day is November 2nd to Thursday. 18 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,840 I don't remember when I recorded last episode, 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,720 but it doesn't really matter because 20 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,640 in the past couple days, 21 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,800 I read a few books about podcasting. 22 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,920 And I realized that I need to just restart. 23 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,960 I just need to restart everything 24 00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:15,320 because this podcast is very low quality 25 00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:16,720 looks on professional. 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,160 The image, the profile pic, my website, 27 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,520 everything is unprofessional. 28 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,800 And then the actual audio is very bad 29 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,080 because I don't prepare and I just talk for an hour. 30 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,240 So then I realized I gotta just restart. 31 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,560 So what I'm doing is my plans right now 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,320 are to go to season two. 33 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,480 Right now, every episode has been on season one. 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,760 There's been 104 episodes in season one 35 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,200 and this is the last episode of season one. 36 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,160 And usually podcasts like mine don't go to season two, 37 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,920 but I feel like it's needed because 38 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,880 the trailer in season one is terrible. 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,920 It's my most downloaded video and it's terrible. 40 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,880 So it's probably pushing people away 41 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,840 from actually watching my episodes. 42 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,360 But I wanna keep it up because I want people 43 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,080 to be able to see where I came from. 44 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,480 I want people to see my journey. 45 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,640 So that's why I'm going to season two 46 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:16,240 so I can get a brand new trailer. 47 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,240 And then another thing is the new website. 48 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,560 I made a brand new website on the podcast. 49 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,080 So it's jamesridsonski.com if you wanna check it out. 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840 I'm gonna actually take a lot of notes 51 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,960 and consolidate them all down to one episode. 52 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,400 So my plan's moving forward as weekly episodes, 53 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,480 just once a week, every Friday. 54 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,920 And I'm actually gonna edit the episodes. 55 00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,200 They're gonna be higher quality. 56 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,960 I'm gonna prepare the whole week for the actual recording. 57 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,040 And I already have like 10 episode ideas. 58 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,160 So, but I don't know how long the episode is gonna be. 59 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,480 I'm just gonna have it as long as it needs to be 60 00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,920 for what I'm saying. 61 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,840 But I want it to be a little longer than like, 62 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,960 I want it to be longer than like 20 minutes. 63 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,640 I want it to actually be a decent length episode. 64 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,960 But it's only gonna be weekly episodes. 65 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,240 And I want high quality. 66 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,200 That's what I'm focusing on right now. 67 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,120 And this episode actually is gonna be 68 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,160 the first actual edited episode. 69 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,040 So, me recording it, I have not really, 70 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,680 there's been a lot of kind of pauses that I've had. 71 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,560 Or I'm actually gonna edit it. 72 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,080 And I'm gonna, I have to figure out how to edit first. 73 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,520 And I have to figure out how to actually edit videos. 74 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,080 I have to figure out what to actually use. 75 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,920 All of this stuff is part of the journey. 76 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,480 You have to figure out how to do it and what to even use. 77 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,800 Like right now I record on OBS, OBS Studios. 78 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,960 I didn't even know what to record on in the first place. 79 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,320 I had to look around and then I found this. 80 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,440 I actually recorded one of my episodes on podcast. 81 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,320 But then I realized that I only have like 10 hours 82 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,200 of recording per month and that's not enough 83 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,960 for my purposes. 84 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,200 All of that said, where I'm moving forward, 85 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,160 daily or weekly episodes. 86 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,280 And I'm gonna revamp the descriptions, 87 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,600 the description of the shows. 88 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,800 And also I'm gonna maintain my three TikToks, 89 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,280 three daily TikToks every day. 90 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:21,120 So I'm sorry if I kind of seem a little 91 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,080 razzled right now. 92 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,520 It's because I didn't meditate before this episode, 93 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,160 but that's not the excuse. 94 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,960 To be honest, I was not very well prepared 95 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,600 for this episode obviously because I came in 96 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,720 without much recording. 97 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,000 But it's the last, all right, 98 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,480 I'm just gonna say the last thing. 99 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,960 The last lesson, one of the biggest lessons 100 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,200 that I learned over the past couple of days is, 101 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,400 actually before I say that, 102 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,280 I wanna tell you that I failed. 103 00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:49,640 So I said that I don't watch YouTube 104 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,760 and I didn't until like a week ago 105 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,400 when this one video popped, like caught my attention 106 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,600 while I was posting my YouTube videos on my phone. 107 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,720 So one video caught my attention and then I watched it 108 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,000 and I applied what I learned in that video. 109 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,720 And it basically revolutionized all of these changes 110 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,680 that I'm making right now. 111 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,100 So naturally I really liked that. 112 00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:18,080 So then I kind of correlated checking the YouTube feed 113 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,560 with making drastic changes 114 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,240 and learning about drastic changes that need to be done. 115 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,040 The first time it happened, good, I got drastic changes. 116 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,760 I'd revamped my daily routine. 117 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,320 And then the second time, nothing really happened. 118 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,880 I just learned, I just saw some garbage videos, 119 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,640 like nothing really, really good. 120 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,360 Yet I was still opening YouTube and checking the app. 121 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,040 I was still doing it every day 122 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,720 until I got to one YouTube video. 123 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,880 It was a Hamza video where he said, 124 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,400 like he talked to seven millionaires 125 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,700 and got secrets from them. 126 00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:00,440 So I watched that whole video through. 127 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,360 All of the secrets, I didn't really, 128 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,560 like they weren't really very beneficial to me 129 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,520 because I already knew them, 130 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,160 but the last thing that he said, 131 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,040 he was basically saying that, 132 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,680 and here's the lesson that I learned 133 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,480 that actually drastically changed everything for me. 134 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,480 He said that you're a entrepreneur 135 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,020 if you don't have any way to get paid. 136 00:06:21,020 --> 00:06:24,940 So pretty much I'm kind of paraphrasing what he said. 137 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,160 Essentially you are still a entrepreneur 138 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,600 if there's no way for you to get paid. 139 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,920 So if I wanted to pay you right now, 140 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,600 if I wanted to pay you money and I couldn't 141 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,980 because you didn't have any offer up 142 00:06:40,980 --> 00:06:44,640 or you didn't have like a payment processor or anything, 143 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,080 then you're still a entrepreneur. 144 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,960 And he said most people are in that stage 145 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,140 where they don't even have anything up. 146 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,200 And just the way he said it really clicked. 147 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,440 And then he said that you're not actually a entrepreneur 148 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,240 until you get your first payment up. 149 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,960 And then he said, get it up right now. 150 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,720 Like don't say, don't cope and say, 151 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,680 oh, I don't, like I don't, my offer's not good enough 152 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,840 or oh, this or that, don't give all those excuses. 153 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,240 Basically put it up and then that's where you're, 154 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,200 that's when you're actually an entrepreneur. 155 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,280 And once you put it up, then you can actually go through 156 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,920 and figure out, oh, do I need more traffic? 157 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,280 Oh, do I need to increase the value of the, of my offer? 158 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,120 All of these things, 159 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,000 that's when you actually do the entrepreneurship. 160 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,240 That's when you actually do the strategies 161 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,000 and basically figure out what's wrong 162 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,440 and what you need to improve upon. 163 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,760 So this whole time I was a launch entrepreneur. 164 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,800 And then right after that video, I realized like, 165 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,280 oh, I actually have to do this. 166 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,680 So right away after that video, 167 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,840 I signed up for a bank account. 168 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,340 I used a Mercury. 169 00:07:50,340 --> 00:07:52,800 I didn't know if that was the best bank account to use. 170 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,560 I didn't, I did care, but I realized that I was just coping 171 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,540 trying to find the best one. 172 00:07:58,540 --> 00:08:00,000 So I just went with Mercury 173 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,640 because it said it was the best for startups. 174 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,480 So I did that. 175 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,440 And then I signed up for a Stripe payment processor. 176 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,960 And I haven't actually gotten a live thing out yet, 177 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,400 but I plan on doing that soon. 178 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,040 I plan on offering up a coaching service. 179 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,240 And actually, I actually don't have enough money 180 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,040 to buy ClickFunnels for one month right now in my account, 181 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,760 in my actual bank account. 182 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,760 So, but I am in the works of selling my Xbox 183 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,480 and my old VR and all my controllers. 184 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,020 So I'm trying to sell that for $200. 185 00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:43,240 So once I get that, then I'll be able to buy 186 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,400 a month of ClickFunnels. 187 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,400 And then I'm gonna actually make my coaching service. 188 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,560 But I'm gonna, I might try and figure out some other 189 00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:55,040 like cheaper way to do it. 190 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,000 Maybe some way free way to set it up, 191 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,400 but that's it, that's the last lesson 192 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,000 of this entire season. 193
