CHANGES: Where This Podcast is Headed and My Focuses for the Future

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,760 I just wanted to hop on here and let you guys know that over the past couple weeks 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,760 I've been really changing things up 3 00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:13,480 Around two weeks ago, I really started to 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,000 Question whether I was on the right path or not and you can go back season one 5 00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:23,080 episode 100 6 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,640 around 102 7 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,160 100 like 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:35,000 Even back to episode 80. I think I was still questioning if one hour daily episodes is even is even 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,720 Gonna work for me 10 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,240 Because it all started 11 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:47,040 When I read this book 10x is easier than 2x and in that book I learned that 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,620 you you can get better and better at something by 13 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,680 increasing your quantity 14 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,560 but then once you reach a certain point you start to plateau and 15 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,920 For my podcast. I really was just increasing the quantity 16 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:12,080 I started the first episode like a hot like over a hundred days ago and 17 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,240 It was probably like five minutes ten minutes long and 18 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:23,800 Then every single day I would make it longer and longer and longer until on episode 15 19 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:30,000 It got to one hour long and then I just maintained one hour daily episode 20 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,600 so I actually went down to the basement pretty much every single day for a hundred days straight and 21 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,360 spoke into the microphone for one hour and 22 00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:45,840 It definitely helped like my my 23 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,920 I've gotten a lot better 24 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,360 my skill has improved so much at 25 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,200 At podcasting I'm very grateful that I did it 26 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,200 but 27 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,840 Around about episode 80 maybe even earlier. I'm not quite sure but 28 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,680 Once I actually started reading the book 10x is using 2x. I 29 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,600 really started to 30 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:17,440 Realize that I was at that point where I'm starting to plateau and I need to actually figure out what my two or what my 10x 31 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,320 Task is which basically the 10x task is 32 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:32,200 Kind of your 20% tasks. So I think it's Pareto's law. It's the 80-20 rule. It's basically 33 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,400 80% or 34 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,520 20% of your tasks get 80% of the results 35 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,360 So for me, I was just doing 36 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,080 for the past hundred days days I was recording one hour of 37 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,840 the podcast and 38 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,800 In the beginning that was definitely my 20% that 39 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,040 20% was getting me 80% of the results because my skill was getting a lot better 40 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:06,360 But then I started to plateau and so I started to question me. What is my like is this 41 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:14,040 shifting to my 80% because that is another thing that he talked about in the book 10x as easier than 2x 42 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,560 Dr. Benjamin Hardy talked about 43 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,120 When you 44 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,160 Have your your 20% task and then you do it over and over and over again 45 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,600 Eventually it will become an 80% task. So then you have to 46 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,440 figure out what your 20% task is and 47 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,720 and focus on that and sometimes it'll be the same and 48 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,440 Most of the time it's different 49 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:46,440 So I got to the point where I believe that my 20% task which was recording one hour 50 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,720 podcasts 51 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,400 Actually or daily podcast actually became my 80% so I had to figure out what was 52 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,080 What was the next thing? What was the next 10x jump? 53 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,080 and 54 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,400 In the beginning I really just 55 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:13,200 researched a lot about podcasts and I tried to look at what other people were doing and and when I say in the beginning 56 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,800 I'm talking about 57 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,800 to I'm talking about 58 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,140 two to three weeks ago when I was really deciding to 59 00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:22,640 completely 60 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,000 change 61 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,200 Topic or completely change focus 62 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,160 Because like I said, I got to episode 104. I believe on 63 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,760 Season one and I realized yeah, this is it like 104 episodes 64 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,080 I got to pull the plug and focus on something else and 65 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,840 so 66 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:46,000 That was probably two and a half weeks ago and 67 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,840 What I did over the past couple weeks was 68 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,240 First of all, I bought three books 69 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,120 My go-to thing is just to buy books on a topic 70 00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:04,640 So I bought three books. The first one was called podcast launch by John Lee Dumas and 71 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,160 then the second one was 72 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,520 Called so you want to start a podcast by I 73 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,680 Forgot her name 74 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,080 But that was probably one of that was the best book in that list so far 75 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,720 And then the third book was called on the wire or out on the wire 76 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:30,760 And I forgot what the author's name was but it's a comic book and it's very well there. It's very good 77 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,760 and I have not I actually didn't finish the comic book because 78 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,400 many different reasons but 79 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,160 let's not get into that right now and I read through 80 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:48,200 Podcast launch and so you want to start a podcast and I gotta say so you want to start a podcast was the 81 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:53,320 It's actually one of the better books that I've read. I'm not even gonna I'm not even gonna lie and 82 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,360 it gave me a lot of insight and 83 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:06,040 It really helped me move forward with podcast so I realized I didn't want to 84 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:13,160 Move forward with daily one-hour episodes, which I had already understood and I also 85 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,200 Underwent this whole 86 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,880 rebranding 87 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,880 so I 88 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,120 Completely changed 89 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:30,280 My youtube channel name my tick tock channel name from ascend momentum to James Radzinski because I noticed that 90 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,160 Hamza and Eman Gazi 91 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,400 Excuse me. Hamza and Eman Gazi are two people who I'm really 92 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,600 Taking a lot of in spur inspiration from and 93 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,760 They both have their real names as their 94 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,760 YouTube names and 95 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:57,800 I'm not sure if they have tick tocks, but I changed my youtube to James Radzinski as well as my tick tock 96 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,560 Now my podcast is still ascend momentum for for now because that's the same with 97 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,520 Diary of a CEO and modern wisdom and 98 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,360 Uh, I believe on purpose as well 99 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,360 Diary of a CEO 100 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,400 That what podcast is called Diary of a CEO 101 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:27,880 But his podcast website is under the domain of the host's name and I forgot what the host's name is but 102 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,720 That basically got me. I already owned my domain name my name 103 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:40,280 Domain like James Radzinski.com. I already owned that so I just put my podcast website on that 104 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:47,320 On that domain and I made a brand new podcast website. I'm not using the rss website anymore 105 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,080 And I use pod page for that and so 106 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,360 Now my stuff is looks a lot higher quality and I also completely 107 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,160 changed my podcast show picture like my 108 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,200 like the actual picture that is like my 109 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:10,680 profile pic and I believe that that's a lot higher quality as well and so 110 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,520 All these changes I underwent over the past couple weeks 111 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,520 but 112 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,520 One thing I realized is that 113 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,200 I'm not quite sure if I want to pursue podcasting 114 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,240 Now let me explain.

It's just going to be the audio from the youtube videos 380 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,680 So those are my that's my plans moving forward 381 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,880 and I actually have a twitter account and I created a twitter account because 382 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,080 This brings me on to the next thing I want to talk about earlier. I talked about 383 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:07,560 One way to build an audience on podcast is to be a guest on other people's podcasts and towards the end of my 384 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:15,960 100 episode season one. I was actually talking about how I what I planned on being a guest on podcasts and 385 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:24,360 One of the eight podcast hosts actually reached out to me and asked me to be a guest and 386 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,560 I was a guest on her podcast 387 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:28,920 I 388 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,920 recorded the video on 389 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:38,200 Sunday and today I'm recording this on Wednesday. So we recorded the video or the audio 390 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:44,360 Couple days ago and it's going live this Friday, which is Friday 391 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,160 November 392 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,680 17th 393 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,200 and 394 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,040 I actually think that it was a very good episode and you should definitely go check it out 395 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:59,400 Her podcast is called the personal growth project and 396 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,400 I believe it's available most places. I just checked it out on apple podcast and 397 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,360 We actually had a 398 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,520 Call a networking call earlier and she's actually pretty cool person 399 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:21,000 She asked like literally the most perfect questions on that podcast and it may have been one of the better podcasts that I've ever recorded 400 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,600 So definitely go check it out. It'll be episode 85. I believe 401 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,880 posting this Friday 402 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,240 but 403 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,240 that 404 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:39,640 That was really exciting for me to get to speak on another podcast and it was actually a pretty cool experience 405 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,440 but 406 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,440 It's kind of bad timing 407 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,240 Actually, no, it's perfect timing because on that podcast. She actually asked if 408 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,640 where people could find me and I 409 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:58,200 Told them about my plans on youtube. So sending people to the youtube channel is actually a good thing 410 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,360 but 411 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:05,720 That's pretty much what I've been doing for the past couple weeks and I want to talk about a book that 412 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,880 I originally heard about at funnel hacking live.

I'm pretty sure 441 00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,680 and he basically told napoleon hill to study all of the successful people 442 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,120 What makes them successful? What makes them different from the average man? 443 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,080 and so 444 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,560 He didn't I don't believe that he hired him or paid him anything 445 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:19,480 But Andrew Carnegie gave napoleon hill one of the most valuable things and its connections 446 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:25,240 Andrew Carnegie gave napoleon hill connections to the most powerful men and women 447 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,120 to that were ever alive and basically allowed him to 448 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,760 meet up with or basically gave him 449 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,920 their details and 450 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,160 set up meetings and 451 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,720 napoleon hill really studied what made successful people successful 452 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:49,400 for the next 30 years. He studied Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Mr. Firestone 453 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,280 all these people 454 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,280 he studied all the greats 455 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,720 and after 30 years of studying he had a very good grasp 456 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,360 he was actually teaching what he was learning along the way 457 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,360 in a course called the secrets of success and he was teaching 458 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,160 it to many different people 459 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,880 and he would get feedback. He would actually have people 460 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,480 give feedback on what was going on what 461 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,760 just all around 462 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,240 make his course better 463 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:24,680 and so 464 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,360 after 30 years he wrote he decided to write a book 465 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,680 and he's actually written quite a few books but 466 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,360 he decided to write one particular book to sum it all up 467 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:34,840 and 468 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,880 have everything that he learned in that book 469 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,120 so he compiled all this information and knowledge 470 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,600 that he learned from 30 years of studying all the successful people 471 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:53,080 and he compiled it all into a book called Laws of Success in 16 months 472 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,080 and he published it 473 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,720 and Henry Ford 474 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,760 who owns Ford 475 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,000 who founded Ford 476 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000 who founded Ford 477 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,800 a extremely successful car company 478 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:09,400 I believe it was 479 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:15,560 Tesla and Ford are the only two American car companies that never went bankrupt 480 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,640 I'm not sure if that's actually true but that's just uh 481 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,240 like a thing that I heard one time 482 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,120 but Henry Ford was 483 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,160 argued to be the most powerful man in history 484 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:36,360 if not the most powerful man alive at that time 485 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,080 and he was a billionaire 486 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:41,240 and he 487 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,800 read the book Laws of Success in 16 Lessons 488 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,960 which by the way a lot of the book 489 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,280 a lot of what Napoleon Hill learned about 490 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,480 and wrote in that book was from Henry Ford 491 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,840 like Napoleon Hill learned a lot from Henry Ford 492 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,800 and wrote it all down in the book 493 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,480 so Henry Ford got hold of the book and read it 494 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,040 and said this is way too powerful 495 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,560 like we have to take this down 496 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,000 you have to take this down right now 497 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,080 like this is too powerful for the public 498 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,160 and so he made Napoleon Hill take it down 499 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,440 take it out of print 500 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,840 like no one had access to it anymore 501 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,280 and then 502 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,960 he had to cut out a bunch of stuff 503 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,640 cut out all like the most important secrets 504 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,360 so he edited it down 505 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,760 cut out a bunch of important things 506 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,160 and published the next book 507 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,640 which was I don't know what it was called 508 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,880 but he basically published that book 509 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,680 and then Henry Ford got a hold of that book again 510 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,120 and read it 511 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,880 even though he's still edited down 512 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,880 way more water down than the Laws of Success one 513 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,680 he still thought it to be way too powerful 514 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,040 so once again he had Napoleon Hill take it down 515 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,440 and edit it even more 516 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,880 make a bunch more cuts 517 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:05,640 cut out a lot of stuff 518 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,160 until finally after the third time 519 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,120 he edited it down to a book called 520 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:17,560 Think and Grow Rich 521 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,240 which became a best seller 522 00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:24,120 one of the most best selling self-help books ever 523 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,000 and many people found a lot of success out of that book 524 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:29,880 and 525 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:32,440 I'm just 526 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,920 I'm just hearing this story 527 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,400 Russell Brunson told me this story originally 528 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,320 and then I heard it in another YouTube video 529 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,080 I'm just hearing this story 530 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,760 and I'm thinking wow this Laws of Success book is so important 531 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:45,480 so valuable 532 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,280 and so over the next couple of weeks 533 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,800 I kept on thinking about that book 534 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,600 like should I get it 535 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:51,080 should I get it 536 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,720 because I had a bunch of other books that I had on my list 537 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:55,880 like I called them my seven 538 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:57,400 which was like 539 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,840 I've definitely talked about it so many times 540 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,200 over the past couple months 541 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,960 which was Journeys out of the Body 542 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,080 I sent out on the Humanity 543 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,280 Dancing After the Music stops 544 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,400 Come of Age, Die Wise, all those books 545 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,200 the Egypt Code 546 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,320 like those books 547 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,240 were the seven books I was going to read next 548 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,200 and I pretty much dropped all of those books 549 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,320 and skipped ahead to the Laws of Success 550 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,440 and 16 Lessons 551 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:22,440 and I ended up buying it 552 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,680 I bought that as well as 553 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,000 Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins 554 00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:32,520 and it was because I was going through a period of 555 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:33,480 low discipline 556 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,440 not low discipline 557 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:35,960 but I was going through a period of 558 00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:39,720 I don't know if I'm actually doing the right thing 559 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:41,560 of not exercising every day 560 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,000 just exercising once a week 561 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000 and so I wanted to get Can't Hurt Me 562 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,920 but I'm probably not going to read it for a couple 563 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,880 days or for a couple weeks 564 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,120 because I'm reading Laws of Success right now 565 00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:59,480 and so far I'm only like 60 pages in 566 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,560 it's pretty difficult to read in my opinion 567 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,640 because it's probably not helping me that I'm reading it 568 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,080 like late at night 569 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:09,800 not late at night 570 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,480 but like in the afternoon 571 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,320 after I'm already like fried my brain 572 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:18,040 but it's written in like the 1930s I believe 573 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:22,440 and so written in that different style of English 574 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,560 that is a little difficult to understand right now 575 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,240 but I'm getting used to it 576 00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:33,080 and it's definitely a good book 577 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,000 right now I'm learning about the Mastermind 578 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,600 which I've heard about Masterminds 579 00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:40,360 it's basically like when a group of people 580 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:47,160 meet up to basically discuss a actual 581 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,240 like their goals 582 00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:51,240 and actually discuss on how to move forward 583 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,680 but I realize that it's so much more 584 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,400 there's actually science around a Mastermind 585 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:04,280 there's actually science around you being near other people's minds 586 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,840 and actually you thinking about that 587 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,400 everyone in the group thinking about that same thing 588 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,520 and so I'm realizing how powerful 589 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,400 I already knew that Masterminds very powerful 590 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,920 but I'm getting more and more realization 591 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,680 that it's even more powerful than I thought 592 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,720 and that's the laws of success in 16 lessons 593 00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:27,320 I'm reading that over the next couple weeks 594 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:33,640 but now let's talk about why I'm not going to be consistent 595 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,400 I already talked about why I'm not going to be consistent 596 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:36,520 on the podcast 597 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,240 and it's because I want to focus all in on YouTube 598 00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:44,280 but I want to talk about why I'm not going to be consistent 599 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,040 another reason why I'm not going to consistently make 600 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,280 episodes like this anymore 601 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,360 where I just discuss what I'm doing 602 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,440 and document and these plans may change 603 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,600 like I've been changing my plans 604 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,120 drastically over the past couple weeks 605 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,400 so this is not final 606 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,640 but as of now this is my plan 607 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,360 and right now this is just a one-off episode 608 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,000 it's probably just going to be another bonus 609 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,080 or something 610 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:16,920 and 611 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:25,000 I'm actually going to Dominican Republic for vacation 612 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:26,200 next week 613 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,240 so today's Wednesday 614 00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:33,800 and Thanksgiving break is in one week from today 615 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,040 so I have school all week this week 616 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,560 and Monday and Tuesday 617 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,720 and then I'm off Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 618 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:47,080 but we're leaving for Dominican Republic on Saturday 619 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,040 in like four or five days 620 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,240 and we're going there for a week 621 00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:56,840 so I'm missing all Monday and Tuesday next week of school 622 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,840 and I'm also going to be 623 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,440 what was I saying? 624 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,600 oh yeah I'm also skipping school this Friday 625 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,640 because I want to work on my YouTube skills 626 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,600 and my YouTube channel 627 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,080 and so that brings me to Dominican Republic 628 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,640 I'm going to completely end all work 629 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:22,920 I'm not going to work at all 630 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,000 I'm actually not going to bring my phone with me 631 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:26,760 to vacation 632 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,640 and so I'm not going to think about work 633 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,120 I'm just going to completely recover 634 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,720 just because the last time I 635 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,920 the last time I had a break from podcasting 636 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,200 and content creation 637 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,160 was before I even started 638 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,320 like an actual break 639 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,960 for more than like two days 640 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,080 and that wasn't at Ohio visiting my family 641 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,600 like I don't consider that as a break 642 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:53,720 but 643 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,880 the last time I had a break from work 644 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,920 in business was when I went to 645 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,440 like was before I even started 646 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000 and it's been like three months 647 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,240 so it I'm definitely 648 00:42:07,240 --> 00:42:08,440 it's actually been like four months 649 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,600 so I'm actually due for a break 650 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,080 and I feel like this will actually be very beneficial 651 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,600 and I still have episodes coming out 652 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:17,480 like I have 653 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,640 you guys are definitely should expect 654 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,200 weekly posts on this podcast 655 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,000 every single Friday until December 1st 656 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,480 like I have posts scheduled 657 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,920 until December 1st on this podcast already 658 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,520 so those are guaranteed to come out 659 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,520 it's just a question of 660 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,520 if I'm going to be able to maintain it 661 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:39,640 after I get back 662 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,440 I'm going to try and post every 663 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,800 an episode a week 664 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,600 but if I find that my quality is going down 665 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,760 because I'm trying to get high quantity 666 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,400 well then I'm not going to worry about 667 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,720 every week of episodes 668 00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:54,600 of episodes 669 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,480 so that's pretty much my plans for 670 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:01,560 over the next couple 671 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,280 weeks or months 672 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,760 and like I said I'm actually 673 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,000 graduating early 674 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,160 so I'm a senior right now 675 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,920 and it's November 15th 676 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,200 and I'm done with high school 677 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,040 in one month and seven days 678 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,960 so in December 679 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,960 December 22nd 680 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,120 that's my last day of finals 681 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:26,920 that's my last 682 00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:30,680 that's going to be the last class I ever take 683 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:31,400 in high school 684 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,080 so that's in like one month 685 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,440 one and a half months 686 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:37,400 one and a third months 687 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,280 one and a fourth months 688 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:38,600 I don't know 689 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,680 and my plans right now is 690 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,160 since I graduate 691 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,440 I'm like basically done 692 00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:48,760 I don't graduate in December 693 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:49,800 I graduate in May 694 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,120 but I don't I have an empty schedule 695 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,560 in second semester 696 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,720 so I basically have five months 697 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,040 just to grind 698 00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,880 five months to grind the business 699 00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:01,320 grind my youtube videos 700 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,120 grind my skills 701 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,440 so that's my plans over the next 702 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:05,720 couple weeks 703 00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:07,560 but really over the next couple months 704 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:07,960 because 705 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:09,960 I just 706 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:10,920 I'm really gonna 707 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,160 lock in 708 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,160 and improve my youtube skills 709 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,120 to such an extent 710 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,600 that by the end of these five months 711 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,520 I've built up a decent audience 712 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:21,800 and 713 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,160 I've built up my youtube skills 714 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,200 to such an extent 715 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,040 to where I'm actually starting to monetize 716 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,320 and I'm actually 717 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:30,200 able to make 718 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,360 very well put together youtube videos 719 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:33,320 and actually able to 720 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,280 be a good content creator and youtuber 721 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,160 and pursue it as a profession 722 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,720 but that would not be my main source of income 723 00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:42,680 that would just be 724 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:43,880 me building an audience 725 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,480 for the foundation of my business 726 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:47,160 so that's basically 727 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,040 my 728 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,360 plans over the next couple months 729 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:51,000 but 730 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,200 I do plan 731 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,200 since in my business incubator class 732 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,720 is where I have my friend 733 00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:56,440 my mentor 734 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,360 who has a successful youtube channel 735 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,120 that's the class that I'm in with him 736 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,240 and that class is actually 737 00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:02,840 a full year long class 738 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,760 but I'm not taking second semester of it 739 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,440 and so I 740 00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:08,040 I'm actually gonna 741 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:09,800 I right now 742 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,160 I'm kind of thinking of 743 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,160 popping into that class 744 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:14,040 like once a week 745 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:14,840 or once a month 746 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:16,360 over the next 747 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,040 like over second semester 748 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:18,520 and just 749 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:20,280 getting him to 750 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,760 give me some more criticism and feedback 751 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,280 and help me progress further 752 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,600 because having a mentor is a 753 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:28,200 basically a 754 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,480 fast track to success 755 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,640 it's a shortcut to success 756 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:34,440 so that'll be 757 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,440 I'm still gonna take advantage of that 758 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:37,880 relationship 759 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:38,920 and 760 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:41,000 once I 761 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,960 because I definitely plan on passing him 762 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,280 I'm not gonna stay below him 763 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,080 I'm definitely 764 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,320 I plan on passing him 765 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:50,680 and once I pass him 766 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,160 or even while I'm passing him 767 00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:56,440 will it will shift from a mentorship 768 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,240 to us just masterminding together 769 00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:00,520 and sharing 770 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,000 sharing ideas and tips 771 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,680 and things that we learn along the way 772 00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:07,640 which is what I heard that Mr. Beast did 773 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:08,360 he actually 774 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:09,880 was masterminding 775 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,160 he mastermind with 776 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,360 like five other 777 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,720 four other YouTubers for like years 778 00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:16,840 or I don't know how long 779 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:17,960 for like an entire year 780 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,800 a thousand days I'm pretty sure 781 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,640 every single day he would just 782 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,240 share all the things he learned 783 00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:25,160 and they would share as well 784 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,680 so that's pretty much my plans moving forward 785 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:28,840 and 786 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:31,960 these next couple 787 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:33,560 days 788 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:34,840 when I'm preparing to leave 789 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,040 for Dominican Republic 790 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,400 I'm gonna be grinding out the 791 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,040 last couple of episodes on the content 792 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:44,280 and then I'm just gonna 793 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,400 completely relax and detach from everything 794 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:48,600 and just 795 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:50,680 like the only thing that I'm gonna be doing 796 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:51,720 at Dominican Republic 797 00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:53,400 is sitting on the beach in the sun 798 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,960 and eating food and 799 00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:58,440 working out 800 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,440 and reading the laws of success 801 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:01,320 and 16 lessons 802 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:02,840 and I'll do whatever 803 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,280 my family wants me to do as well 804 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,400 but that's the end of the episode 805 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:07,720 so 806 00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:10,520 stick around if you're interested 807 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:11,720 but 808 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,920 I'm really looking forward to the future 809 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:16,120 so 810 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:36,760 have a good day
