There's a big button down there. Hit the subscribe button and turn on bell notifications so that you'll be notified every single time I do a new video. Okay, let's get going. We want to quit our job, right? I remember when I was working for somebody else and I would see these articles about how to quit your job in three easy steps or five easy steps or whatever, how many easy steps it was, you know, I was addicted to those things, you know, I read those things, I watched those videos. I was so into that. I was like, yeah, that's cool. I want to be able to do that. And here's something I figured out. None of them worked. None of them worked. I mean, they made it sound amazing, amazing. It's what I wanted to do, but none of them worked. So flash forward to today and that's exactly what I do. You know, I work from home. I work from a coffee shop. I travel the world. I get to do what I want. I make good money and it's all because I figured out a few steps that I want to share with you in this video. And if you do these steps, these five steps, you're going to make it. Trust me. You're going to make it and you're going to be exactly where I am. I'm not making any empty promises, okay? I'm not telling you that to be able to work from home and work for yourself and travel the world is easy. I am going to tell you it's simple, okay? So simple things are not always easy. You know, a simple thing would be get up every single day and do 25 push-ups. It's simple. Okay? It's simple. You've got to get up. You've got to get down the floor and do 25 push-ups. It's just not easy to do. And the more days you do it, the harder it gets. It doesn't get easier, okay? And then at some point, it will get a little bit easier, but you're going to have a long period of time where it's just difficult. It's just difficult and hard to do. So that's the first thing I'm going to tell you about making money online is it's hard to do, okay? And it's not hard in as much as you won't be able to figure it out and you don't want to do. None of that. That's the easy part. The hard part is doing it every single day and going through the pain of doing it, okay? And that's what we're going to talk about in this video. So in 2009, I was really sick of my job, sick of my boss, sick of all that stuff. And I said, well, I want to do something else. And I was a single dad raising two kids. I was like, I want to be at home, you know? I want to stay home with my kids. And the only way to do that I saw was to work online. Now to work online was difficult to do because I didn't have any technical knowledge. I can't type. I still can't type. And I do have to work on that. I tell myself that I've got to work on typing. Got to work on typing. But anyhow, I've gotten this far without working on typing and, you know, I've sold millions of dollars of both digital and physical products. But there were five things that I did that I want to share with you that really made all the difference in the world. So let's get into those things right now because it enabled me to do what I want and it can do the same thing for you. The first part I screwed up and I'm going to tell you what it is in just a second, but let me tell you what led to it is I wanted to start a business online, but I was in a position where I couldn't. Okay, let me tell you my position. My position was that I was working a job and it was six, seven days a week. I was raising two kids. I'd have to be at work at 7.30, eight in the morning. Wouldn't come home till 7.30 or eight at night. I'd have to get them fed, get them in bed. I had a sitter that I had to pay for and there literally was no time. After I put him in bed at night, I would maybe have an hour or two hours to watch TV and then I had to go to bed and get up and start all over again. So there literally was no time or was there or was there. And that's what I want you to do is I want you to stop and look at your life. Okay, and you, you are probably telling yourself the same things I did. I didn't have time to do it. I mean, there's just not enough time in a day when that's not even true. That's not even true. The truth is if you want to do something bad enough, you will give up other things in your day. You'll give up other things and I couldn't give up my job. Okay, I had a job. I had, I had to do that. Okay, I couldn't give up my kids. Still had to feed them, had to get them in bed, but listen to this. Every night I watch TV for an hour or two. Every night, one hour or two. Now you say, well, JR, that's not much time to put into a business. You're right. It isn't. It isn't an hour is not much time. However, one night I turned off that TV and I started working on an online business and I just got started and that is number one in case you missed it. You got to get started. You got to get started. You got to quit making excuses why you can't do it. Now your excuses may look different than mine, but they all lead to the same thing, the lack of getting started. Number one, got to get started. Okay, if you don't get started at this, you're never going to be able to get anywhere. You're just going to make excuses to the day you die. Is that what you want to do? Number two, pick something to sell. It doesn't even matter what it is. Okay, I tell you to pick anything. It doesn't have to be related to anything. It may be it's something in the market that you see as being sold and there's a decent profit margin on it. Start selling that item. Whatever that item is, doesn't matter. Everybody always waits until they have the next new idea, the next new fangled product, the next cool product. And you know what? The odds of you coming up with that are almost zero. It's a whole lot better to go pick a product that's already in the market that somebody's marketing, that somebody's selling, that somebody's making money on and you do some of the same stuff. Why? Because they've already proven the model. They've already proven that they can sell it. And if they can sell it, you probably can too. The idea of picking a product and selling it is not to make money on that product or that that's the product you're going to sell for the rest of your life. It's to get your feet wet. It's to get your feet wet. And it's to get out there and start learning how to sell a product online. Mine was cell phone cases. Okay? I started selling cell phone cases. And I bought hundreds of cell phone cases to sell them. I did not do well. I was making like 20 cents, 50 cents, sometimes even a dollar on a cell phone case. But keep in mind, I had to process the order. I was doing it on eBay. I had to print out the sheet. I had to go get the cell phone case. I had to put an envelope. I had to seal the envelope. I had to put their sales order in it. I had to put postage on it. And then I had to ship it out. Now, this took some time. And at 20 cents or 50 cents or a dollar, I wasn't making any money. And then they would stop selling because they would switch new phones or everybody got new phones all the time. And then those cell phone cases I had that I was selling, no longer sold anymore. And I would just put them in my closet. And one day I looked in my closet and it was full of cell phone cases that I couldn't sell. And you say, well, Jay, are you failed? No, I didn't. I didn't fail. Let me tell you why I didn't fail. Because I learned how to list an item on eBay. And I learned how to ship something out. And I learned how to communicate with people. And I learned and I learned and I learned. I did switch products and I got into camping gear. And then ultimately I got into survival food. And ultimately I started my own survival food company. But understand it was that getting started and picking a product. So that's the next thing you need to do is pick a product. Number three and this is number three never goes away. I'm still doing number three. Learn everything you can about selling online. Now you say, well, Jay, are you ready to learn that? No, I have not learned that. And here's why I haven't learned that because I've learned what works up until now. But you know what, tomorrow morning I'm going to wake up and there's going to be a new method. There's going to be a new process. There's going to be a new software. I can't tell you how many different softwares I've gone through in the beginning to this point now. I mean, tons of different softwares. Tons of email providers. And by the way, if you want the best one that's out there now, you want to get Cartra. I have a link below. You can click the link. You can watch a video on Cartra. You can see all the things it's going to do for you because it's not just an email provider. It's a funnel maker. It's a sequence maker. It's a sales page maker. It's a membership. It's just everything. You got to get Cartra. You watch the video for free. If you like Cartra, I have an affiliate link. You can get it for $1. But my point is this learn everything about selling online. It's an ongoing thing. It's an ongoing thing. I've only had Cartra for two and a half years, three years, something like that. I don't know how long I've had Cartra for. And that's one piece of software I use. But that one piece of software got rid of eight pieces of software I was paying for. What if I had just continued to use all that other stuff I was using and not open my eyes to what was new out there? You know what? I would have made a whole lot less money. And I would have got poor results because the newer stuff oftentimes works better. This doesn't mean that every time something new comes out, you switch to it. You got to analyze it. You got to research it. You got to see if it's better. And if it's worth it, you should switch to it. You got to stay on top of what's happening out there in the market on a daily basis. I'm always watching new videos. I'm always reading new books. This is something you're going to have to do for your entire career if you're online. Some jobs, you know, maybe if you're a carpenter or bricklayer or something that's not going to change much. But neither will your income. Okay? If you want your income to change and really go up, you have to learn new things. It doesn't matter if you're technologically advanced or not because you can learn to be. You can learn anything. Number four, the next thing you want to do is analyze and make adjustments. Analyze and make adjustments. Now, whatever I do, whether it's an email, whether it's a sales page, whether it's an ad, whether it's a video like this, I do it. I do that thing, whatever it is. And then I analyze it. I'm like, what worked about that thing? What didn't work about that thing? And what can I adjust? Okay, what can I adjust to make it better? As I make videos on YouTube, I try to make them better. I try to have edits that are better. I try to have information that's better. I try all those things to make them better because that's what you guys deserve. You deserve better products. That's what I try to do. Sometimes I hit the mark. Sometimes I don't. Okay? And I don't want you to worry about perfection. I think that freezes a lot of people. And that's kind of in this analyze and make adjustments. A lot of people just keep making adjustments and they don't put it out there again. They're like, well, this isn't good. No, this isn't good. This isn't good. And they never actually put anything more out there because they keep worrying about it not being good. It's never going to be perfect, but you do need to do the best you can and just put it out there, whatever it is, okay? Whether it's a sales page, whether it's an email you're going to send out, whether it's an ad, you just got to try it and then you got to analyze and make adjustments. Okay? Does that make sense so far? Now we're down to the last one, number five. Number five is probably the biggest one. If you want to get a pen or pencil out and write this down, this is something that I would put in front of me, you know, somewhere, I mean, I've got room in here. I could put it in front of me, but I know it every day. Believe me, I know this. This is ingrained in my brain. So what is number five? Number five is really can be summed up in two words. Don't quit. Don't quit. Now, I don't want you to hear this and say, J.R., I've been running this ad and I'm losing $3,000 a month and I'm just going to keep running it. That's not what I mean by this. What I mean is don't quit trying. Don't quit trying. There's a big difference in not quitting and not quitting trying. Okay? So if I have an ad that doesn't work, I'm going to look at it. I'm going to analyze and make adjustments and I'm going to try again. That's what I mean by don't quit. It doesn't mean to keep running a bad ad. It doesn't mean to keep sending out a bad email. It doesn't mean to keep trying to sell a product that nobody wants to buy in the entire market. Now, sometimes people will try a product and they go, look, I tried this product. I researched it. It's being sold. But when I tried to sell it, it didn't work. That product doesn't work. Wrong. What happened is you took that product that does work in the market that people are making money on and you did it wrong. Okay? You did something wrong. And what you need to do is analyze and adjust. Right? That was step number four and figure out what you did wrong. Fix that thing. Okay? Because I hear people say, well, you know, Facebook ads don't work or, you know, YouTube ads don't work. Well, if that was the case, Facebook wouldn't be in business. That's the only way they make money. And if that was the case with YouTube, YouTube would not be in business, right? Because that's the only way they make money is ads. So these things do work. You just may be doing them wrong. And a lot of people don't want to admit that it may be them. I see a lot of people say, well, there's no way to make money online. I tried it. It doesn't work. I tried to do up work and I couldn't make any money on up work. I tried to do e-commerce and it didn't work. You know, e-commerce doesn't work and nothing could be further from the truth. You tried something that didn't work and it's you. It's you. Okay? Every now and then you got to stop and look at yourself and say it's you. I was running some ads for a course I was doing and it ran to a webinar and I wasn't making money. Now, when I ran the ads, the ads were working because people were clicking and they were going through to the page to opt in. Okay? And they were opting in and they were attentive. They would show up for the webinar and the vast majority of them would actually go to the webinar, but I wasn't selling anything. So what is wrong with that picture? It's the webinar. It's the webinar because along the way, all those other steps work. But the last step where I was asking them to buy something didn't work. So that's what I need to fix. And that's what I mean by don't quit guys. Analyze, right? Once again, analyze and make adjustments. If you analyze and make adjustments and you don't quit, there's no way you can fail. Failure is actually quitting. Quitting is failure, okay? Failure is not trying something that doesn't work. That's called testing. That's just called testing. That doesn't mean that you failed, okay? When I started selling cell phone cases, I did not fail. I lost money. I had inventory left over and I didn't make any money. And I wasted some time. However, that time really wasn't wasted, was it? Because now with the products I have, I learned in that beginning selling the cell phone cases. That's how I got to here, okay? Because I didn't quit. I just tried different things and different methods and different products. And that's the exact same thing you have to do. And you can do this. This can be done by anybody. It's very simple. But it is hard because most people tend to quit. So I hope this makes sense to you. I hope you understand those five steps. I would love to hear your comments below. Have you tried something online?
