 Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Friday morning, the 18th of March 2022. Everybody, welcome, man. We got a good session today. I'm gonna talk to you today about things that you need to know if you want to make some money online. So stick with me to the very end. It's a little bit of a long list. There's 15 items. But man, these things can make you some money. I know they have for me, too. So also, don't forget to put your comments in that chat section over there. Tell me who you are. Tell me where you're at. Tell me what you're working on. Tell me something, but make sure you participate. You know, if you've heard me before, I always tell you to participate. It's going to help you. It's going to help other people. Heck, it even helps me. So that would be great. Don't forget to subscribe. Hit that subscribe button down there. Turn it from red to gray and ring the bell. Turn all bell notifications to your notified each and every time I go live and I'm waiting for you guys to put some comments in there. So don't let me down. Don't let me down. I want to jump right into it because we do have a long list of things that you can do to make money online. But that's a good thing, right? Because if there's a long list, what does that mean? That means you've got a lot of opportunity. I don't think of it as, oh, my gosh, I got to learn all this thing. Oh, my gosh, I can learn all this. Now, some of these things are not for everybody. I'm going to tell you right now, there are things on this list that are not for me, but that doesn't mean it's not for somebody else. And there's a lot of things on this list I've already done, right? Which I can tell you about as I go through them. So let's just let's go through the list here. OK, the first thing is coding once again, it's not for everybody. But let me talk to you about it. Coding is a skill that many employers value. OK, regardless of the specific position that you hold, basic coding skills makes it easier for you to help a team. Maybe you're launching an app. Maybe you're doing a website. Maybe you're working with search engines, but coding does help. And coding can be learned. It's not that hard. There's free coding sites. And you're guaranteed to have a job. OK, so if those of you out there are like, I saw a post this morning from a lady and she was talking about her husband didn't have a job and she didn't have a job and they were trying to find a place to live. And I'm thinking you're on your phone, you're online, you could make money online. And I think she said he got a job at a stone crushing factory. I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't think that's something I would want to do on a daily basis. Stone crushing. We have a lot of stone here in Texas and they do that and they they break them up to build houses and walkways. And man, they make they make all kinds of stuff out of stone. But I would go with the coding skills over the stone crushing. I just would. Number two. Now, this is a skill I think that everybody should have. I don't care what level you're at, because people communicate on this thing. And this thing is Excel spreadsheets. Excel spreadsheets are so very important. They can save you so much time. They can save you so much money. They can automate things for you. Spreadsheets are used in almost every single business to manage company data. I mean, I remember taking a course on Excel spreadsheets in 2000, I think seven or eight. And I was like, what is this thing Excel? And it's so simple. Once you learn it, you can do so much with it. So that's something that I would suggest that you learn as Excel. It's just part of the Microsoft, you know, bank of software. And everybody needs to know it and everybody's communicating with it. So you got to do it. Next thing, number three is language skills, language skills. It never, ever hurts to learn a new language, right? Whether it's Italian, whether it's French, whether it's Spanish. I've been working on my Spanish for years and I'm not great at it, but I can communicate. I can talk to people and I can get my point across. And I can understand what they're saying. And it feels good to be able to talk to somebody in another language. If we only stick to our own language and we only stick to our own things every single day, let me get another sip here. And our world becomes very small. OK, learning a new language can make you more valuable in any organization. It doesn't matter what you do, regardless of your industry, your niche, your specific job, language skills can also qualify you for more advanced opportunities, especially if the language you're learning is hard to find in candidates. There's certain languages now, I think that would probably be very useful. Maybe Ukrainian or Russian. I don't know. I'm just guessing. But if you speak those languages, I bet there's some jobs out there for you. Number four would be Photoshop skills. Photoshop skills are so very important because we all, you know, use images. No matter what we're doing, we use some kind of images. I have Photoshop skills. I use Photoshop all the time. It was really designed for image editing, as well as photo retouching. But with Photoshop, users can create or edit images, illustrations, artwork. You can do all kinds of stuff, you know, knowing how to edit images can make it easier for you to create graphics for websites or marketing materials, whatever the heck you're doing. These skills are particularly useful if you currently work in or are aspiring to work in marketing departments. Because they all use Photoshop. They just do. And there's other, you know, photo editing programs out there, but that's a pretty universal one. Adobe Photoshop. I pay for it every month. I think they charge me like 15 bucks or something. But I use it all the time. The next thing I would tell you is camera skills, photography skills. This is number five. If you're keeping track here, you want to keep track. You can just write these things down. These skills are also invaluable for companies that sell products. They help you enhance a company's website, their social media. I mean, knowing how to use a camera nowadays, and we all have them, right? We've got them right here in front of us. We've got these cameras in front of us. There are many sites online that teach photography skills, whether you're just getting started or you need a beginner course or you're really super advanced, you know, and you need more training. There's a lot of skill or, excuse me, there's a lot of sites out there that you can learn this. The next one is really big. And I think it's a life skill, but certainly online you're going to need the skill. And this is being able to write, being able to write. OK, communication is such a big deal, guys. That's our number six. Writing is a fundamental skill that employers value in candidates. If you can communicate your thoughts and your ideas through writing, you're that much further ahead than other people. And I'll tell you, I see you on the screen, and I'll tell you, I see people posting stuff online. Sometimes I'm like, man, these people can't write. They don't know what words to use. They don't know about punctuation. They don't know about, you know, getting their message across. And I'm thinking if they can't do it in writing, they probably have a hard time talking to other people too. And this is something you can get better at, right? You can get better at this. Regardless of the field you're in, the ability to write well is really a strong asset to have. There's a variety of different types of writing skills that you may want to consider learning or depending on your industry. For example, if you anticipate that your employer may need somebody to write proposals, manuals, instructions, you may want to consider taking online courses for technical writing, if that's the thing you're going to do. Mine is all sales, marketing type stuff. The next thing I want to tell you about is search engine optimization. That's our number seven. Guys, this is so, so important. And it's such a cool thing because once you learn it and you do it for a page, it stays there. And it just builds and gets better and better and better. Every company that has an online presence is interested in enhancing its visibility and its exposure to potential new customers online. One of the best ways to do this is by using search engine optimization or SEO. We hear SEO all the time. Matter of fact, we're working on our site now and we're hiring a new SEO person to help us with that. Could I sit there and do that? Yes, I can. Do I want to do that? No, I don't because it takes up a lot of my time and I'd rather be doing a video with you guys here than to be working on some type of SEO program. Okay, I don't want to do that. There's all kinds of online resources with videos that teach SEO as well as how-to articles. These skills are useful if you anticipate on working in marketing departments. Or if you want to qualify as a role as a SEO specialist, you can also do it on the side. You can put yourself up on Upwork and take jobs to do SEO. I know I'm hiring somebody from Upwork right now. Matter of fact, the person was just messaging me as we were talking. So I'm trying to ignore it. It's like popping up in the corner here. We have number seven. And that is number seven. Okay, number seven. Next thing I'm going to tell you, number eight is going to be project management. Project management. And guys, don't forget. Don't forget to put your comments in there. I see Paul has popped in there. So let me click on you, Paul, here. It gets you on the screen. See what you got to say today. See, I did it on Friday, Paul. I didn't do it Saturday because you're going to be at the farmer's market, aren't you? You know you are. I really enjoyed Jim Edwards' copy secrets book, great book on copywriting. Thanks for putting that up there. That could be very helpful to somebody. Thank you for sharing that, Paul. Appreciate it. But project management is going to be number eight. These skills are really important if you're pursuing a leadership type position. Project management skills help you better manage all areas of a project and keep everyone involved, productive, organized, motivated, and producing what they should be producing. And these are skills, guys. All these skills that I'm talking about right now are things you can learn. The next one, oh my gosh, the next one, I know I'm going to get some, I'm going to get some pushback on this one because so many people don't want to do this one, but it's so important, guys. And I didn't want to do it, but I learned it. Number nine is public speaking. Ah, everybody got scared, right? Everybody's like, oh my God, I don't want to do public speaking. It is such a freeing thing to learn how to do public speaking. I took some courses at it and joined a club many, many years ago because I wanted a promotion and I was really afraid to talk in front of people. And I got to tell you, it opened up so many opportunities for me. Whether you anticipate speaking in front of a large audience or you just want to feel more confident in delivering presentations to people in the office, public speaking skills are invaluable. They really are. Public speaking skills take a lot of practice. I know I've been working on it for years, but can help you feel more self-assured, more confident. They can help you deliver presentations with greater levels of persuading people. I mean, it's just so important, guys. Don't shy away from it. And they say the things that you are the most afraid of are exactly the things you should do. Let's see here, we got more people popping in here. Let me see what we got. See what we got here. Let's see here. Paul says, do you have a regular SEO person or just look for one on five? Or I do not have a regular SEO person. I generally will do some of the basic SEO, but when I have big projects, like we just moved our site to a new Magento, this particular project is huge because we're doing a site audit and it's not just titles and descriptions. There's all kinds of stuff and backlinks and all these things and research for keywords. So this new project, I did hire somebody for that. And I'm gonna use them for like a bunch of different websites. I have a whole lot of websites. You guys probably know me for having survival cave food or jrfisher.com. But I've got a bunch of other websites. My wife has websites. We gotta work on all those things. Plucky Chickadeeth. Diane, what's going on, girl? Good morning. Yes, like Jim Edwards is good. Okay, so she concurs with you, Paul. Let's see here. How to improve product manager. Alex, it's really not that hard. There's a lot of videos on YouTube but I would say the number one thing for project management is getting people to do what you want them to do. Now, I've managed people for many years. I was in the automotive industry and I managed thousands and thousands of people. And in the beginning, I was terrible at it because I thought a manager or a project manager, okay, we're gonna throw a project in front of it, I thought that that job was telling people what to do and getting angry if they didn't do it. And that was so wrong. So wrong, I didn't know any better. And it made my job really difficult because I was always ordering people around. And then I learned over the years, it's more about doing their job for them and motivating them to come on board and do it with you. So what I learned over the years was if I helped people out in their job and taught them things, then I was gonna get a better result out of those people. So if they're talking to a customer and having a hard time, I should go over and talk to the customer to show that person how to talk to the customer. So that's what I ended up doing when I started getting a whole lot better results. So that's really what project management is, learning all those different parts of whatever you're gonna manage, helping those people in those different parts and that's what management really is. Management is not telling people what to do, it's showing them how to do it and training them and then checking on and seeing if they need help. That's what real management is. And as soon as you learn that, the better off you're gonna be. And once I learned that, I got a whole lot better results from everybody. Say a good project manager is definitely a top skill, learning to speak publicly, definitely a great skill to have today. Yes, yes, I mean, and here's the funny thing. If you learn how to do public speaking, which I have, in matter of fact, I was a professional speaker for nine years, I was on the road and that's what I did. If you learn how to do that, you will learn how to communicate better. And that's so important in your personal relationships, with your wife or husband or boyfriend or girlfriend or your kids or your friends. If you can communicate on stage, you can communicate better in your real life. And that's so very important, guys. So I would say, yeah, he's right about that. Let's see, Tyane says, I will be taking some training on an SEO program, should take me around a month to get comfortable with the platform. Yeah, I remember you saying you signed up for some software, Tyane, and it came with training and that's awesome. You know, I'm all for that. No one had to do that stuff. And then what you're gonna find, you're gonna find like me on down the road, you're gonna know how to do it, you're gonna wanna just hire somebody to do it. But the cool thing is, since you know how to do it, you'll know how long it'll take them, you'll know what they're doing. All of that is super, super important. Man, I'm getting some good comments. Thank you so much, guys, I appreciate it. By the way, how's a new book coming, sir? Looking forward to seeing. I have two books in the works. And by the fact, I worked on one of them last night, Paul, and they take time. These books don't come out quickly. If they did, you would notice. I'll put it that way. One of them is actually on how to do digital courses online. And that's probably about 70% done. I would say something like that. And the other one is a new book that I'm working on. And let me see, I got the working title to that, Paul, since you asked about that. And I've got all my notes on my phone for that particular book. I've also got a restaurant rating system that's coming out, Paul. I think you may like. Let me see if I can find it. Oh, I cleared it, okay. It's called a reactive. The book's gonna be called reactive. And basically it's gonna be talking about how you are proactive or reactive and the reasons for that and how you can change those things. And that's gonna be the other book that I'm working on. So, Diane says, kiddo is sick today. Oh no, I'm so sorry. And she is here with me. She slept with me in the night. So I need all the coffee I can get, okay. Well, tell her I said hi. Have her wave or something, right? Tell her hello for me and I hope she feels better. That's terrible, terrible. I don't want you kid to feel bad. Paul says learning to be a good leader is definitely a skill that needs to be learned. Yes, it's not a given skill. It's not what you think it is. Like I said in the beginning, I thought a manager told people what to do and got mad when they didn't do it. And there are a lot of managers that try to manage that way and you don't get good results out of people. It's not that. It's doing their job and showing them how to do it and checking on it. That's what it really is. And if you can't do their job, you're not gonna be able to manage their job. I got news for you, right? I remember when we were, when I was running car dealerships and we had a manager come in and he became a higher level manager and he had never, ever sold a car before and nobody ever respected him. And to this day, they don't respect him. Even though he's still in a higher level position, nobody respects him because he's never did it. He never did the thing that he's trying to manage. You gotta do it. On speaking, didn't you get training at Toastmasters? Yes, what a memory you have. I did join Toastmasters and this is going back to, wow, I wanna say 1990 or 91, something like that, where I learned that. And I ended up becoming a professional speaker in 1993 and being on the road for years. So it's kind of funny how that one fear of buying grew into a profession and paid all my bills for many, many years, about eight or nine years I was on the road, let me get another sip here. All right, so what else we got on my list here? I gotta get through this list here. You guys are too much fun today, but I appreciate it. I'd rather talk to you guys, I really would. The next thing is, I would say graphic design. Number 10, I'm gonna make graphic design. People who employ you are really gonna value your design skills. And this doesn't matter if you're upper management or lower level, graphic design is so cool. And these skills are useful for creating logos, banners, images for websites, social media content. I mean, I have to do some graphic design just to do a life here, right? I gotta put together a thumbnail and know how to get into Photoshop and work on it. And some of these skills overlap, graphic design and Photoshop, right? Those are two skills that really overlap. One of them is the software, but you use that software to do the other thing. There are lots of online courses that let beginners or advanced techniques in graphic design, allowing users to develop a foundation in color, layout, topography, and other skills. And also, like if you were to get Photoshop, you would see it has tutorials in there. And I mean, a lot of them, it's almost overwhelming, but they got a lot of tutorials in there. So that's stuff. Yeah, keep your comments coming, guys. You're doing really good. Don't stop on me. I want those comments so they're a matter so much. And the next one I want to tell you number 11 is social media marketing. Now, you may not think you have social media marketing skills, but you probably do. If you're posting anything online, that is social media marketing. You may be marketing yourself or your family or your ideas or whatever, but it's still social media marketing. Whether you want to learn the basics of social media or develop advanced skills on a particular platform, there's a lot of courses and helps you guys available online that teach social media marketing. And you can watch other people, you know your friends or family that are doing this, and they may be very good at it and don't even know they are. You can start by identifying your specific goals and that's a big key for social media marketing. Are you trying to sell something? Are you trying to get people to hop in? Are you trying to get people to download something? Are you trying to get people to comment on your post? All these things are things you need to decide upfront. Then you find an online course that specifically addresses those needs. And it's not that hard to do it really isn't. Oh, the next one kind of falls into that. The other one I was just talking about, this is number 12 and it's leadership skills. Wow, leadership skills. Being a leader is not, you know, you look at Zelensky right now. What a leader, okay? And what are his, you know, why do people want to follow Zelensky right now? And I know this is controversial, so I may get my video demonetized. But he is actually doing the things out there. He's putting himself out there. He's putting himself in dangerous situations. He's visiting hospitals. He's talking to other countries. The man is working and I don't know what you know about that guy, but he's worth like $30, $40 million. He doesn't even have to be there. His salary is so minuscule for running that country, it would blow your mind. And I can't remember what it was when I was thinking it was like $1,000 a month or something. But what a leader, right? He gets people to follow him by doing stuff. That's how you get people to follow you. It's not by telling people what to do. It's by doing stuff and letting them see that you're good at it. When they see that you're good at something, they're gonna wanna follow you. Leadership skills are valuable in any position. I don't care what you do. Regardless of whether you hold an actual management position or not, you can be a leader no matter what you do. Leadership skills help you motivate other people on your team. That's what you're trying to do. You should improve the morale. You should increase productivity, overall performance, increase their sales. All these things are things that you can develop by doing them yourself and getting good at. Leadership skills also help you qualify for more advanced positions. If people see that you're a good leader, guess what? They put you in a leader position. I hear too many people say, well, it's not my job. They don't pay me to do that. And they never will because they don't see that value in you. What you have to do is more than what you're paid to do. And I'm not paid by anybody, right? Because I work for myself, but I try to do more than what you guys expected me. I try to give you more information. I try to do more research and give you more value. And I know if I do that, then I'll get ahead by helping you. That's my job is to help you guys. And let's see here. We're getting a couple of comments here. Let me stick this up on the screen. Let's see here. I wish I would have taken a class on graphic design in college. But you know what? You know what, Tyane, you may not have. And I wish I had too. They didn't have that then, I don't think. But you can do it now. You can learn anything now, right? Now is the time. If there's anything you wanna know, just go ahead and do it right now. Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait, don't wait. Just go ahead and do it, right? See, Paul says, I find that you need to be a student every day 100% Paul. Most people don't read much after high school. No, they don't. You're 100% right. These numbers are staggering. You need to do an episode on top five or 10 books. That's a really good point, Paul. And actually in the description of this video, after it's done, I have a reading list of books that I really, really like. So you can check that out. They're all links to Amazon. So if you wanna go in there and check out some of those books. And I think that's really crucial. Matter of fact, I think it's so crucial that every single video I put on YouTube has a reading list. It's my same reading list over and over, obviously. But I had that reading list in there. So you can check that out after this video's over with. And that's a really good point. Let's see, Paul says, on the thing I found is that networking and events is both great to see trends and gain new ideas. Glad we got together on Marketer's Cruise, by the way. Yes, that's where I met Paul, as a matter of fact. And gosh, Paul, what has that been? Oh my gosh, six, seven years ago, something like that. And he's been very faithful and supportive and I appreciate that, Paul. And I've met a lot of people in these networking events. Yeah, they're really, really good. And that's another good skill to have. My number 14, guys, if you're keeping track, and I sure hope you are, number 14 is Microsoft Access Skills. Microsoft Access, what the heck's that? Microsoft Access is an information management tool used to store information for reporting. Reference and analysis. And I did take a course on this myself back in the middle 2000s, I guess. It allows companies to manage and analyze large amounts of data more easily. Accountants use this, project managers use this, business analysts use this. They all use it regularly to manage and manipulate data. And I say manipulate, I mean, in a good way, not a bad way. Okay, we don't wanna lie about our data, but we do what we use it. Some specific Microsoft Access Skills include VBA programming, database table creation, data entry control, dynamic user data forms, advanced report creations. And I know a lot of us have heard of Excel, but not a lot of us have used Access. You can also do report creation using queries and database task automation. Microsoft offers a variety of different online courses to help users understand how to use Excel, regardless of their skill level and also Access. So both of those programs, I think, are super, super, super important. And I'm gonna see here one of the thing. Okay, and keep the comments coming, guys. I think I've put them all up on the screen that you've said so far. And we're down to number 15, but you know what? I've got a bonus one. I've got a bonus one that you're really gonna like. So I'm gonna talk to you about number 15, which is next up, and then I'm gonna talk about a bonus one. And I've got a whole bunch of bonus ones. I'll be honest with you, lined up in my notes here and I'm gonna scroll through them and find the bonus one I like. Let me see, let me see, let me see. Oh my gosh. Yeah, okay, I see the one I want. I see the one I want. Okay, all right, all right. So number 14, did we do number 14? Yeah, number four, I haven't done number 14 yet, have I? No, no, no, last one I did was number 13. This is number 14. So we have two more and then I'll give you the bonus. Number 14 is math skills. No, don't tell me you don't like math. Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it. I'll tell you a story about me. When I was in high school, I was terrible at math. Awful at math, my school didn't push me to do a whole lot of math. I graduated early from high school. I graduated when I was 16 years old. And not because I studied hard, it's just things worked out where I could do that. I passed some tests and they gave me some tests and they said, oh, you know some stuff, so whatever. So anyhow, I graduated at 16 and I didn't go to college until I was 20. And when I went to college, I didn't do well in the math entrance part of the, what is it, the thing you use, I can't think of it. When you go into college, you have to take that test. Anyhow, I didn't do well in the math part so I had to take some basic math classes and I hated it. And I was in there one day and I was talking to the professor and I said, man, I hate math. Math is just not my thing. He says the entire world circles around math. You've got to learn math. Math is important. But let me explain something to you, Jeff. At the time, my name was Jeff and you called me JR. They said, or he said, math is the easiest subject to ever take. I said, well, no, I've always struggled with it. He says you struggled with it because you've told yourself you struggled with it. Math is the easiest skill there is. And let me explain to you why. All you've got to do is memorize a formula and you can apply that formula to all the different problems. It doesn't matter what the problem is, you just got to memorize the formula and just go through the steps. And once I got that, once I got that in my brain that math is easy. And to this day, I think it's incredibly easy. Then I started enjoying math and I started seeing patterns with math and I started seeing patterns all around me that had to do with numbers. Math skills can help you complete everyday task at work. Most employers prefer to hire candidates who have basic math skills. However, depending on your current role or position that you want to get, you may benefit from more advanced math skills. I love math. Math is one of my favorite things now. Okay, and then number 15, let me get to number 15 right here. And that would be email marketing. And I have a bonus after this, so don't go anywhere, I have a bonus after this. Let me see here, I got a comment I did not put up on the screen. Let me make sure I do that. This is from Paul, learning the analytical skills is definitely needed in keeping ahead of business. Yes, very, very true. Because if you can't analyze what's going on, you don't know what's going on, you don't know what to change, you don't know what to improve, you don't know what to do more of if you don't know how to analyze it, makes no sense. Hey, those of you who have not commented, make sure you get in that comment section. I'm telling you, this will help you more than anything. And Paul, who's a good commentator, Tyen, who's a good commentator, they'll all tell you that when you participate, you feel more invigorated, you learn more things, you get more interaction, you move ahead, you need to participate. And it doesn't even matter if this isn't live to you, if this is a recording to you, please participate, it matters so very much. Let me get a sip. And Paul, you were asking me the other day because you're good about participating when the next recipe is coming out. I finished editing one yesterday. Oh my God, this is so good. This is off subject, I'll get back to what I was talking about just for a second. This is a chicken thigh mushroom cream sauce over these noodles that will blow your mind. It is so, so good. I mean, oh my God, when you see this recipe, Paul, you're gonna, oh my gosh, this is so good. And it sounds simple and it is kinda, but it takes a while to make it. Man, this is a good dish. You gotta check it out. So that's coming out next. That's for everyone in my next videos. Email marketing, number 15 is email marketing. Email marketing is the strategy of actually sending emails to customers and prospects in order to get them to do something, to generate sales or to help you build your list or have them opt in for things. It's an incredible skill. I learned email marketing and I feel like I've always got ammunition in my pocket. And what I mean by that is I can sit back and say, well, you know what? I need a little extra money today. There's something I wanna buy. There's like, I got a wall unit. I'm gonna put my office, which I'm ready to buy it, but the company that makes them won't have any to the fall. But the point is, if I needed money for that wall unit, I could say, well, I'm gonna go write an email. I know I'll have it within a few days. That's a really cool skill to have. I built up a list and I know I can send out an email and get thousands of dollars in just a few days off an email I wrote. That's a great skill, okay? It's a skill most employers highly value and we can have the direct impact on the profitability of the business. Too often we think of emails as just communicating with people. But emails can actually produce things. They can produce sales. Email marketing courses can help you understand that. I have one called Email Earning System. You can look that up. I probably have a link in the description after this video is over with. But emails are so invaluable, guys. They really are. And so that's my list of 15. However, however, I've got a bonus, but I wanna put some of these comments up here first before I put the bonus up there. Let's see. Diane says it sounds delicious. I'm not kidding you, Diane. It's so good. And the key to it was really using the chicken thighs because they don't dry out. I'll just say really moist and oh my God. My mouth's watering. The mushrooms, the garlic in it, the cream in it, it's gonna blow your mind. It's really, really good. So when that comes out, I'll let you guys know. I've just gotta wait for my editor now to finish it. I'm blown away by the fact that we don't teach kids how to count change back. I know, right? The machine just tells them, right? Give them 57 cents. I like math because it's practical. Okay, geometry helped me in shooting pool. Yes, it helped me in knowing the angles. When I shoot pool, but I still can't shoot pool well. You still got the skill to do it. But the geometry part, you're absolutely right. I have a friend from high school who was literally a pool shark when he was 14, 15 years old. He was taking money from 40 year old men. I know I hung out with him at pool halls. I went and visited him recently, but that guy could play pool. I think he just had a skill, man. I just think it was just in him. But he's good at all kinds of games. So maybe it's a gamify thing, I don't know. So I think the key skill to learn is being organized. That took me a long time, Paul. I will tell you, I'm pretty organized now. I have zero paper in my office, none. I don't allow paper in my office. I don't have a printer in here. I don't have any paper. And that was my part of being organized because what I did, and you're talking about organization, is I just got rid of anything that was sitting around that cluttered things up. And it made me organize instantly. It made me quit putting things off because otherwise you get the stack of paper of the stuff you're gonna go through and you keep piling it up, piling it up, piling it up. And you look at it and it gets more cluttered and then you start another pile, another pile. And that used to be me. I used to have an inbox and an outbox and they were always full. I don't have any boxes now. Nothing. I have zero paper in my life and I love it. Love it. I hate when I get the junk mail. It's just like, oh my God, no, they sent me more mail. I hate this. When I was a kid it was like, if I got a piece of mail, I was excited. That wore off. I used cremini mushrooms. Pulse is what kind of mushrooms. I love that my wife is creative and uses multiple types for meals. Yes. I like wild mushrooms and all that kind of stuff. But I used cremini for this particular dish. And it was pretty amazing. And you'll see it. You'll see the recipe. I think you'll like it. Yes, decluttering is something I am working on. You know, Ty and my wife has a channel and it's on decluttering. And I gotta get that posted. I can't think of what the name of it is, but she does that. She declutters stuff and she organizes stuff. And sometimes it's irritating to me because I'm like, oh my God, you've moved this, you've changed this. But overall, it's really helpful to us. And I know that and I appreciate her for that. Let's see, what else comment do we have here? I saw one just disappear. This will be pulled their comment. I don't know why they did that. Looking forward to Friday lunch video. Hey, I got a good one. We're going to an Asian restaurant. Paul, I think you'll like it. They have a dim sum there, but I don't think they have it during the week. But it's a really well-known restaurant here in town. And I'll share it with you after we've been there. Let's see here, Alex, Alex, my buddy. What do you think about freelancer.com for architect and 3D specialists? I love it. I love freelancer.com. I love Upwork.com. I love Fiverr.com. There's so many really good ones out there now. I would say on any of these sites, learn how to interview. Learn how to set expectations. If you're hiring for a job, and I learned this years ago, I used to put, I need an SEO person. No, no, no, no, no. You want to be so specific that you scare off 99% of the people. That way, when you get a person, you know it's the right person because they've read all this stuff that you expect. I put all the expectations, like my SEO person, I put all the expectations, what skills I want you to have, what software I want you to use, what website I'm gonna be working on so they can look at the website, what platform the website's built on, what I expect, exactly what I'm gonna pay, what your language skills has to be. I really write a detailed outline of what I'm hiring for. Now, in the beginning I was lazy and I just want to put a job up there, I'll see what I get. But I spent so much time weeding through all these people that weren't right for the job that if I had just written a good profile, I had written a good job at the beginning, I would have been far better off than just putting something up there. Let's see, oh really? I didn't know that my house is a mess for sure. Yeah, gosh, what is her DIY? Let me see if I can find it real quick. I hope you guys will stick with me on this because this is important. We're trying to clean up Tyen's house. So let's see if I can find it. Jessica, no, oh wait, wait, wait, wait. Fisher, let me see. I think I remember it. I think I remember it. Okay, that's the pet parenting. Pet parenting, it's all pet parenting. You know what you could do? Let me try one other thing here. You could go to her, Jessica L. Fisher, D-I-N-D-I-Y. And you'd probably see the other channel there. I do not see it right now. But that's probably the best way to do it. And let me see if she has other channels hooked in here that I can find. And I got my bonus one, don't go anywhere. I got my bonus thing I want to share with you guys. So let's see here. Let me see if she's got, man, oh man, channels. Maybe it's under channels. Simply organize, simply organize. Look up simply, let me put this in here. I'll see you guys have it. Jessica L. Fisher, simply organize. That's Tyen, check out that channel. That's a really good one. She didn't post there as often as other ones. But I'll tell you, she's got some great information. I would definitely recommend you go in there and check it out. Yeah, so there it is. So that's the one. Let's see, by the way, I hope your buddy in San Diego is doing well. I've got a lot of buddies in San Diego. Enjoy the stories about his wisdom. Which one are you talking about, Paul? Cause I've got a lot of people in Sandy. Oh, oh, oh, you're talking about Luigi? My older friend, he's like in his 80s. Maybe you're talking about him. Let's see here. I got a video playing here. I don't want that happening. Let me give it a stop. Okay. Drowning in kids toys, LOL, and tons of paper. Yeah, man. It's the most freeing thing in the world, Tyen. I'm not kidding you. If you just get rid of paper, it's like, here's what you do. Here's how we did it real quick. And then I'm gonna get onto my bonus. Get that piece of paper. And it could be a piece of mail or whatever and look at it and say, is this something I can do right now? Is this something I can do right now? Or should I just throw this away? Will I ever need this again? That's a big, that's a big separator. Will I ever need this again? And if you're not gonna ever need it again, just throw it away. Now, if you can't take care of whatever it is right now, take a picture of it and put it in a file online and throw it away, shred it, do whatever you're gonna do. And that will get rid of all your paper. It's really that simple. Jessica Elfischer simply organized. I got that on there. And let's see here. Oh, it went out there twice, of course it did because it went to Facebook and it went to YouTube. I find it frustrating to meet people with talent who fail to take action. Being one who takes action and revised later is a skill to have to, very true. And you know, this reminds me of a story. We used to go to this Chili's restaurant in San Diego and there was this guy in there and he was a waiter. And he had this resounding voice. I mean, it was unbelievable. It was like an announcer voice that you would like, oh my God, he should be announcing like movies and stuff. And I told him one time, I said, you know, you have such an incredible voice. There's these websites where you can become an announcer and you'll make a lot of money. He says, yeah, I've been told that my entire life. I'm like, wow, he's not gonna do anything. And every time I went back, he was still waiting tables and I was like, wow. And Paul, that's a good example of that. It's like, it doesn't matter what talent you have if you don't use it. It's irrelevant. And it doesn't matter if you're not talented, you can always get talented by learning stuff. Yes, Luigi, Luigi's doing good. I talked to him the other day. He's still got cancer and he just keeps pushing through and keeps doing new things. He's an amazing human being. All right, let me get my bonus one up here. My bonus one is, are you ready for this drum roll? My bonus one is video production skills. This is probably the skill that is gonna help you more and more and more as we move forward. Videos are what's really controlling the internet right now. Getting good at video production skills can help you in so many ways, and there's a lot of different skills there. Maybe it's actually talking on camera, but maybe it's not. Maybe it's editing videos, okay? Maybe it's learning how to produce videos. Maybe it's scripting videos. But anything that has to do with video production nowadays is gonna be incredibly valuable to you online and you can make a lot of money. Maybe it's knowing how to put videos up on YouTube. Maybe it's designing videos for a course, but video production skills guys are just amazing. They include skills like overall sense of pace, timing, ability to effectively tell stories on video, video editing, all these things are so very important. That's gonna be my bonus today because I think that's one of the most important skills moving forward that we should all grasp onto. Video, video, video, video, so very important. Let's see here. I don't have any more comments in there unless you guys wanna throw some in. I'm a little over time, I apologize for that. You guys have been so much fun though. I appreciate it when you're fun like that. It makes me have fun. Don't forget also to subscribe if you haven't done so. Hit that subscribe button down there. Turn it from red to gray and ring the bell, turn on all bell notifications so that you're notified each and every time I go live or if I upload a new video. Let's see what Paul's gonna say here. Learning the video skills currently. Awesome, fortunately I have a couple good teachers. Good, I hope I'm one of them. I've been doing video now for a number of years. Matter of fact, when I was in the automotive industry I used to be involved in shooting all the TV commercials. So I did that. But you know what, everything's learned. Before I did that, I didn't do that. And that's true with any skill. Before you did something, you didn't do it. So it doesn't matter what level you're at, you just have a starting point. Now I need to up my game. I need to do more and more and more. I posted a picture of my stand here. I've got a new stand for my production. You wouldn't believe it, but I had this thing set on a box before. But the box was just the right height. But with the stand I can set it up and I can, well it's not a box, which is nice. And the keyboard's tilted and the screen's tilted. And if you look at the post I did just a little while ago on my personal page, on Facebook you'll see the setup that I'm using now. Let's see here, another comment, what do we got? I would love a video on camera equipment and basic studio setup. You know what, I'll do that Paul. And I'll talk about this studio here. What I'll have to do is record that. I can't really do that live, but I'll record that and walk people around what I've done here and how I've set all this up. I think that's a great idea. I'll probably do it from my phone, which phones nowadays are better than a lot of cameras. I mean, the camera I bought, gosh, what eight years ago is not as good as this camera right here in my iPhone. Pretty amazing. Love this phone. This is an iPhone 13 Pro Max, blah, blah, blah, whatever it is, but it's got all kinds of like poles here for cameras, right? All this stuff. And it's a great camera. And it will do portrait stuff. It will do cinematic type stuff. It does all kinds of stuff. You know, it's just amazing. Today I will shoot some videos of, of course, our lunch. If you don't follow me on Facebook, follow me on Facebook. JRFish or find me on Facebook. We're going to go have a great lunch today. We always have a Friday lunch in case you're wondering. And I'm trying to decide on the beard thing. Should I or should not? Now, Paul, I know what camp you're in, okay? Before you say anything, I know you're going to say grow a beard. My wife loves it too. You know, it's great. It makes me look old. I don't know. I don't know if I should do that. Give me a thumbs up if you don't mind, guys. Don't forget to subscribe and ring the bell. And guess what? I'm off to lunch. Thank you so much for participating. Thank you so much for being here. Paul says, I'll see you on Monday, gang. Yes, I will be here on Monday. And we'll have some fun subject to talk about. So come back and see me. Don't forget to check out the channel and watch some of my other videos. Binge on them. I have a bunch of lists in there of different subjects. You can go in there and binge those videos this weekend and learn some stuff. You guys have a good weekend. Thank you so much for being here.
