 Alright, so in this video I want to talk about the two skills that I believe everyone should learn if they want to make more money and This applies to if you're a business owner if you're building a personal brand You're an influencer or even if you're just like working in a nine to five and just a normal corporate job These two skills you're still gonna want to hone and improve these two skills So we'll get into those skills in just a second But before I do if this is your second or more video on my channel that you're watching I have something called the gentlemen's agreement which means if you've watched two or more videos and you're finding it valuable All I ask is that you hit the like and subscribe button It is free for you to watch these videos But it takes a lot of time and energy for me to come up with the ideas and shoot these and publish these on a regular Basis, so that's all I ask just if you're enjoying it, please hit the subscribe button It would really help me out. So let's talk about these two skills What are they and why should you learn them if you want to make more money? These are two skills that I've learned and improved over the last six to seven years But even more so in the last three years. So three years. I've been building my personal brand I started in January 2020 so a little over three years But these two skills have really helped me to do that and it's actually the reason why I started my personal brand Was to get better at these two skills so What is the first skill number one is writing and I've done all kinds of writing and I still do all kinds of writing. I write every day I write just my perspectives and opinions and insights I share those things in my email newsletter and on social media channels like Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn and Then I also do persuasive or conversion writing or otherwise known as copywriting Which is salesmanship in print right you're writing to get someone to take a certain action so I Think writing no matter what your career is even if you are filming YouTube videos as an example as your career It all starts with writing it starts with writing a script writing down your ideas writing down the flow or the outline of what you want To cover in your video so almost every career you are pretty much every career everything you do even if you're not working You're gonna be using writing. It's how you communicate So I believe everyone should improve their writing skill They're writing ability and the way that you do that is you just write a lot you study good writers You stutter writing that makes you think it makes you see something in a different light and makes you take a certain action So an example for me is I have a swipe file of my own and whenever I buy something I look at the ad I look at what was written in the ad to get my attention And I put it into a little folder on my Google Drive account And so when you study good writing and then you also write every day, which I write multiple times per day You get better at writing magical. So I've been doing this I've been writing every day to my email list since January 2020 So I've written over 2000 original emails And so the way that I got good at writing is just to write a lot study good writers and write Regularly write consistently. So that's the first skill is writing and the second skill is speaking So right now I'm speaking to you in this video But speaking is another way of communicating, right? So if you can command an audience, let's say you're a public speaker Right public speakers make boo boo bucks if they are someone like Tony Robbins Who's a motivational speaker and he sells programs and he combines it with his writing? So I think speaking it's one of those things I come from Hawaii And it's one of those things where everyone's afraid of doing right public speaking or improving their speaking ability Which means it's an advantage for everyone who learns the skill So speaking is one of those things that it made me very uncomfortable when I first started shooting videos and learning how to speak better But the reason why I created my YouTube channel was because I wanted to improve my skill of speaking I want to become better at it because I knew how valuable it was if you can speak confidently and persuasively explain your ideas But I knew that it would help me in every area of my life It's made me a better communicator not just in business, but in my relationships with my wife with my family my friends And so speaking is another one of those skills no matter what career what role that you're in or even if you don't work a job It's going to help you it's gonna help you make more money because you come off as more confident You come off as smarter you become or you you come off as more successful because you're able to explain your ideas And you're able to be more persuasive So a speaking is one of those things again, not many people like to do it because it's very uncomfortable It's especially if you're speaking to a group But if you learn that skill speaking you combine it with writing I can almost guarantee you no matter what your career is or what you do as a profession You're going to make more money You're going to be using those two skills writing and speaking the way that you learn is you first study it study Good speakers study good writers and then practice doing it find a way to practice doing it Ideally every day, but if not every day try to do it as much as you can and Social media is great. You can publish things regularly publish your thoughts You can publish writing pieces You can publish your videos on a platform like youtube or tiktok and it all starts with just Getting that first step getting that first video or first writing piece out there So those are the two skills I believe everyone everyone should learn if they want to make more money Whether it's a business personal brand or a nine to five or just a regular corporate job So hope this is useful if it was give me a like and let me know what you thought about this video in the comments And i'll see you in the next one.
