 Good morning, everyone. As you can see I have a half empty bookcase and some boxes behind me But that's got nothing to do with today's video today's video is gonna be another day in the life, but this time Actually, I totally forgot there's an entrepreneurship there's a pitch breakfast they're called that I'm planning on going to so I'm gonna get ready for that now and Go see it. It's usually it's pretty interesting. It's um, actually it's very interesting pretty much new companies and Startups get to pitch their idea and you have real VCs and investors who give their advice It's all for show. So they're not really asking for money, but it's kind of a practice For their pitch, but you know with real feedback and actually it's done really well so I'm gonna get ready for that and Hopefully I can film a bit of it. I don't know it depends on because I'm a bit late So I might be kind of way back But anyway, hopefully I can get some footage of that and then get back to work That was quite interesting I had to come back home to get some stuff and now I'm going back out again to a coffee shop That's one of the advantages of living downtown I go to a coffee shop now and get some work done and I'll get to show you a bit of Charlotte Hopefully too actually a big reason why I'm doing this day in the life. I realize I Really wish as I mentioned before my wife and I lived in quite a few different places And I kind of wish I'd done a day in the life for all those places because even just for me to be able To look back like I did one in Lugano and it's kind of cool to look back in my life there So I don't know I think all of you who are living in a place that you're not going to be living in forever So I guess that it's pretty much all of you It might be worth it to record a day in the life and you don't have to share it with anyone But just for yourself to keep as sort of a diary or journal But I will now continue with my day. I'm gonna go to the coffee shop and hopefully it's a nice sunny day So I can show you some of Charlotte. I think I'm very backlit. Anyway Actually, my wife passed by so we were talking about some updates on what to do this weekend and stuff like that Because we have a whole bunch of errands to run as I mentioned before we're gonna be leaving soon Which is also another reason why I'm doing this video, you know to kind of track my life here before we leave Otherwise, yeah plenty of work to do So I'm gonna try to finish that up now and hopefully I'll have a bit more left in the day to show you guys Although I don't know I find myself always wanting to Get more and more done. So my days tend to be pretty packed So I'm trying to keep it down to the essentials today. I'm gonna finish up some stuff that I have to do lately I've been skipping lunch because I've been eating big dinners and try to have breakfast with my wife in the morning too and So I'm trying to lose a bit of weight Everything I'm doing today it would actually take you get much done But I'm hoping now to actually make it an early day so I can hit the gym before dinner time So now I came back home I need to do some financial stuff, which I don't like to do with the public computer So I'm gonna do it back here at home and then finish up the stuff I was working on and then hopefully I can go to the gym and Yeah, you'll notice you haven't seen much of my wife or at all in many of these videos That's because she doesn't like being in these videos. So For now, she's my imaginary wife, I guess And yeah, then after dinner sometimes, you know, there's still be stuff because I work with various different time zones So there's still be stuff going on So I will check email and kind of sort through this stuff and obviously prepare for the next day But anyway, I'm not there yet. Now I want to get some payments done and finish up my work So I'll go ahead and do that right now So I just finished making the payments and by the way, these are payments that I'm making to other Translators that I've been working with and I try to pay them by Friday every day today's actually Thursday, but Tomorrow my wife and I are taking a half day to go a bunch of run a bunch of errands So I wanted to pay them by today. I haven't been paid by the client by the way for this job that we've been working on but I do pay my translators like clockwork no matter what because that's how it's done and Too often I just mentioned this because too often I see translators who accept that as an excuse from a client Who say oh, I haven't been paid yet from the end client or haven't been paid yet Or there's been a problem. Anyway, something like that whatever excuse for not paying the translator Your contract is with whoever hires you not the end climbers or you know, whoever that might be Whoever hired you is getting paid more than you are Because they're they're taking on that risk. That's what it is So if I am the agency I need to pay my translators for the job They did anyway It's just something that kind of kind of boggles me so I wanted to bring it up But luckily I've done my payments for today. So now I'm gonna get back to work and hopefully I can stay a bit ahead of the curve It's pretty much it that was my day. I finished working out. I actually we just finished eating You know, I'm gonna close up stuff and prepare for tomorrow tomorrow We have a day of half a day of work and half a day of running errand But yeah, so that's pretty much my day in a nutshell. Usually I'm usually just working at home in a coffee shop And when I have meetings and stuff to attend, that's what I do and that's what I do so hopefully you enjoyed it and once again, this was a day in the life of a freelance translator in Charlotte, North Carolina next stop I'll probably do another one of these in the next place. I'll be staying which will be Taiwan So that'll be interesting But you know, that'll probably be in a few months or something like that Otherwise, I'll see in the next video if you like this Don't forget to click thumbs up once again so I know which videos do you like and in which you don't it kind of gives me a lot of a better idea and Also, don't forget to subscribe if you haven't and yeah, that's it.
