 All right, so this is gonna be good. This is gonna be fun today. This is something different. And I will tell you, all of this is gonna be done today without notes. Why? Because I saved it somewhere and I lost it. And that's the honest to God truth. I was just in there freaking out. I'm like, I've got all these notes. I spent all this time on doing that stuff there. And unfortunately, they got lost. This stuff happens. And I'm sure they're there. I'm sure they're there, but anyhow. So put where you're from, what time it is, where you're at. I know we got people from all around the world, which is pretty cool. We've got a circle of Jessica there. So Jessica's with me today. It on my screen, there's a circle of Jessica, but she's live. Jessica, say hi. Yeah, and we're also working on my studio here. We're gonna redo the lighting in it and get that all changed up. So in that comment section, make sure you put in there where you're from, what time it is, and I see your name. So I don't have to worry about that. And I'm gonna be switching back and forth between, oh, okay, there we go. You're in Lithuania, okay. Austria, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've been talking for a while. And then I'm gonna switch back over to this one I've got in YouTube. And Jessica, what are you seeing on your screen there as far as the actual webinar now? Yeah. To, it's like... Okay, well, it may not have caught up yet because I was switching back and forth, but anyhow, guys, motivation, this is the time to talk about this, right? This is the actual beginning of the year. Now, we're 17 days into it, whatever today's the 17th of January, 2020. 2020, my God. And what can we do to be motivated? Motivation is a really tricky thing. And your mind will tell you to do stuff. Hey, Christine, what's going on, Marco? Okay, everybody's flooding in now, I'm starting to see everybody. Colorado, it's 1203. And that's David there. And it's 1103, Christine says, okay, so yeah, you're in California, Christine, so we are too. But I want you guys to feel free. Hey, Christine's saying hello to you, Jessica there. I want you guys to feel free to ask questions about this. This is a really open session today. This is my inner circle group that are attending, but we also have people live on YouTube that are attending on this. And I think it's best to start off the year getting motivated, right? Getting motivated, making sure you feel like doing stuff you wanna do. And I'm gonna actually look at the camera, but I'm gonna look at the screen the whole time. I should be looking at the camera, but I'm trying to reach the comments too. Because getting that motivation is really gonna be crucial to your success this year. And having that motivation and keeping that motivation is really important. Now, I'll have people tell me, oh, motivation's BS. I've been to those things. And that stuff just wears off after a while. And yeah, you feel good for a day. And then it just wears off and you don't have it anymore. And you know what? That is like 100% true. Let me get a little sip here. It's so true. And if you realize that it wears off, and you're gonna realize that you need it ongoing, okay? It's kinda like eating. If you eat, you know, you don't eat once and for good. You say, I'm gonna eat this one time and I'm done. Okay, I'm gonna be full. No, because it wears off, right? You gotta eat every single day. So, you know, motivation is a lot like eating. It makes you feel good. And it, you know, nourishes you. And then it goes away when something bad happens. It goes away when you're tired. It goes away when you're sick. It goes away when, you know, things are going wrong or you have money problems. Then all of a sudden, you know, that motivation thing, that's tough. Oh, I see Marco just came in from Finland. That's very cool. Nice to see you, Marco. Now, if some of you guys are new to me on this channel, we don't talk any BS, okay? This is my inner circle group, but we're actually broadcasting live on YouTube today, too. And, you know, I've been selling online since like 2009. Let me just give you a little backstory on me. And since that time, we've sold millions of dollars worth of digital and physical products. And in doing so, you know, figured out a few things. We've learned a few things. We've learned how to do ads and we've learned how to do marketing and we've learned how to, you know, communicate with people. We've learned how to, you know, distribute stuff, whether it's drop shipping, whether it's our physical warehouse, which we also have. Our main company, if you guys don't know it, is Survival Cave Food. I mean, that is the main company, Survival Cave Food. And Jessica, if you don't mind, would you put that in the comments section? And can you also put stuff in the comments section on YouTube, Jessica? Sure you can. Yeah, yeah, so she'll put that in there too, guys. So if you're not on the inner circle call within Webinar Jam, which is where we're actually broadcasting this, you'll be able to see that. And I wanna switch over here real quick. So we've determined, we've determined what? We've determined that you have to have motivation. Now we haven't determined what motivation is though. That's the problem. Now, everybody thinks that if you just motivate somebody, they're gonna be successful. And nothing could be further from the truth. I mean, that's just not the case. And that's why people don't do well with motivation is they think that if you just motivate somebody that they're gonna be successful. Now, I'm gonna tell you that there's an added component that's needed with motivation. And that added component is what? Education, okay? So you can be motivated. That's cool. That's great. Motivation's awesome. But then what do you do? Okay, you need education. You gotta know what to do with that motivation. So if I take an idiot and I motivate him, what have you got? I mean, you can put your reply there in the comment section. You take an idiot and motivate him, what do you have? Kind of interesting to think about for a second, isn't it? I know because I've seen people like this where, you know, they're motivated but nobody ever educated them. So since they aren't educated, you end up with basically a motivated idiot, right? So that's not good. You gotta have this education. So on this channel, in my inner circle and on this channel, what I do is I share with you the things that we actually do because, yeah, somebody's got it. Who's that? Who's that? Robert, Robert figured it out. He says, yeah, motivated idiot. That's certainly correct, Robert. And when you take somebody and you don't educate them and you just motivate them, that's when all of this wears off. That's when you don't really get things accomplished. You know, and I'll give you an example today. You know, I started my, I got ready to do my coaching call and lost my presentation. So I said, well, I'm just gonna have to go on screen because I'm committed to this, right? There's people who I never gonna show up and I'm committed to doing this. I can't go, oh, I lost my stuff. Let's just cancel. I didn't say it out loud because I was upset at the time. But you know, I know this is gonna end up being a really great session because a lot of you guys are gonna come away with this information and you're gonna feel more motivated. You really are. So let's talk about that motivation. If motivation is not what they told us it was, what is motivation? Well, motivation usually comes out of some form of success. Okay, so it's just the option of what they told you. It's not, you know, motivation is success. Success is motivation. And if you think about this, any time that you accomplish something in life, you did something and you felt successful, you felt like, oh my God, I did something and I did this really good, did you notice that you felt motivation right after that? Did you notice that right after success comes motivation? So the question there in lies is, if you need motivation to be successful, how are you gonna have success to get motivated, right? It all seems backwards the way they've taught it to us. And this is how it works. You have to figure out the things that you wanna do. Number one, what do you wanna do? So we're gonna say number one today is, you know, what do you wanna accomplish this year? What is it you wanna do this year? What is the thing you wanna do? Do you wanna make, you know, $100,000 this year selling online? Do you wanna make $500,000? And no, to some of you, you may say, well, $100,000 or $500,000, that sounds like an awful lot of money. Understand money is relative, okay? If I told Elon Musk, who just took $40 million in deposits on his truck, that he would make $100,000 this year, he would freak. He would go, no, I can't do that. I can't do that. I can't, no way. He says, I need millions of dollars a year. So it's all relative. And the first thing you gotta do if you're setting this goal of whatever you wanna achieve this year, if you've gotta change your mindset, you gotta say, wait a second, there are people doing this. There are people making money out there right now and they're making more than X, okay? So if your X is $100,000 this year, and I will tell you, if I made $100,000, I would freak out because that's not gonna cover all my expenses. But if that's your starting point, that's fine. But understand that whatever your starting point is, there's probably somebody higher out there. So the first thing you gotta get in your head is it's possible. If you don't have it in your head that it's possible, none of this motivation stuff that I wanna tell you about today will make a bit of difference because if your mind doesn't believe something's possible, then you're not gonna be able to do it. And now a good example of this is many years ago, I think it was in the 50s and somebody can correct me on this. But it was believed that nobody, no human being could run at four minute mile. Couldn't do it. Wouldn't be possible. There's no way it's not physically possible. The body would break down and couldn't be done. And along comes this guy named Roger Bannister. And Roger Bannister broke the four minute mile. He ran faster than four minutes and did an entire mile. Now that being said, he basically proved to everybody it could be done. Now here's the funny thing. There were several people that same year that broke the four minute mile. Now what caused that? What was the occurrence that made it possible for him to break the four minute mile? First off, and then more importantly, why did all these other people break the four minute mile? Well, somehow in his mind, he ignored the science and he said, no, I can do it. I can break the four minute mile. Now the other people, they had it much easier. They didn't have to convince themselves anymore, did they? No, all they had to do was go, this guy did it over here. He broke the four minute mile and since he broke the four minute mile, now I know I can. And it was just that knowing. So all those people prior to that, all the thousands of people tried to do that before they couldn't do it because they didn't have that example in their life. It wasn't there. It wasn't something that they saw accomplished. Now you guys listening to this today, if your goal is to make $100,000 this year or $500,000 or a million or whatever it is, you don't have to look forward. You can literally type into Google and search success stories online. I mean, do it. And that's my next step is once you have decided what you wanna do and how you're gonna do it. So I say, I'm gonna sell $100,000 online and I'm gonna do it by doing drop shipping. So the next thing you wanna do is go to Google and type in drop shipping success stories online. And you're gonna find tons of stories. And then what that's gonna do is that's gonna set up your mind and you're gonna go, oh, all right. So there are people doing this. There are people making incredible amounts of money online and that's available to me too. Now, I know when I started my business in 2009, and the next part of this is gonna be your motivation. So you need to find your motivation. My motivation was that I was in a job. It was okay. I mean, there was nothing wrong with it. I had was working too many hours and I was a single dad raising my two kids. My dog's chiming in in the background there. So I was a single dad and I was raising these two kids just cause gonna go take care of our dog. She is alerting us. Awesome. And this is what happens when you do a live cast of her. But anyhow, I was on this job and the one thing that really I guess stuck in my craw, the one thing that really got to me was that I didn't like my boss. I didn't like him. I mean, it really came down to something as simple as that that I didn't like this guy. I didn't think he had good morals. He didn't have good work ethic. And yet he was my boss, okay? But that was the thing in 2009 that told me that I need to do something else. I got to do something else. Now, I wasn't a young man. I was 50, okay? This was going back 10 years ago. And I didn't have any technical skills. I didn't grow up with, you know, smartphones. Matter of fact, I grew up when I was a kid with dial phones. We literally had the dial thing, right? So technology, you know, it was way beyond me at that point in my life, 2009. It's not now. It's not now. And that's what I want to share with you that's super, super important guys is it doesn't matter what your knowledge level is right now. That's irrelevant. You're never going to go into this business. You're never going to go into selling stuff online and having never done it, walk up and go, I know everything. I mean, it's crazy. But that's what a lot of people do. They stop themselves because they say, well, you know, I really can't do anything because I haven't done this before and I don't know anything about this. No kidding. That's how everybody starts, you know? And sometimes they'll say, well, I didn't grow up with, you know, all this technology so I want to have a hard time with it. Don't tell yourself that. Do not tell yourself that because it's so far from true. The truth is technology's out there and it's easier to learn now than it was back then. I know in 2009, you had to paste a lot of things together. You had to, you know, get an email provider and then you had to figure out how to do some type of graphics for sales page and then you had to have some type of sales page, you know, code and all these things you had to figure out in 2009. You don't have to do now. You can use things like Cartra and Jessica, do you have the link to Cartra? I think it's bit.ly forward slash Cartra dash uppercase jr. So check that out, guys. So that's a software that will do a lot of this stuff for you that you don't have to do it. So in the sequence that we're talking today, it's figure out what you want to do, okay? Number one, figure out what you want to do. Number two, believe you can do it by finding examples out there, right? Find your motivation, okay? In examples. Then find your real motivation for doing it. Now my real motivation for doing it was I wanted more time with my kids. I wanted to travel. I wanted to get away from my boss. And I did, I just, I wanted to get away from this guy. It was just, it was unbearable to work for this guy. I couldn't do it anymore, it's just too much. So that was my motivation. And I will tell you, motivation which stems from disgust or frustration is one of the best motivations you can have. So if you're at that stage where you're frustrated, you know, maybe you've tried to do some stuff online. Maybe you've tried to sell some products and it didn't work out and you're just like, you're throwing up your hands and you're just so frustrated, that's the exact point you don't want to quit. I'm telling you that is the point you don't want to quit. I can't count how many times I got really frustrated at a situation or a product or whatever it is, you know, or income or whatever sales page, whatever it is. And you got to kind of push through that because if you do on the other side of that frustration and I look at frustration and problems is a wall that is put up between people who are weak in success. Did you get that? There's a wall between people who are weak and real success because people are strong, you know, they see the wall and they go, it doesn't matter. You know, I'm going to keep going forward. I'm not going to let this bother me and I'm going to keep moving forward. I'm not going to let it bother me. Today when I lost my notes for my coaching call, I was like, ah, you know, but, you know, I still go through with it. You have to go through with it. You've got to do these things. You got to do them when you don't feel like it. Now that's the next part of this motivation, you know, thing I'm going to tell you about is motivation is basically doing stuff when you don't feel like it because if you sit back and you go, you know what? I think I'm going to start a business and I think I'm going to sell some products. And, you know, when I kind of get motivated, I'm going to start looking for products. I'm going to start fair to how to do this stuff. You know, I just, I kind of get that motivation going first. Don't do it. Don't do it, no. Ignore the fact that you're not motivated because the motivation will come. Imagine this, you don't feel like doing it, but you search products and you build pages and you run ads and you sell something. That first time sale, I know my first time sale was $10 and I was so motivated by this. I remember running into a living room and my kids were in there and I'm like, man, I sold something online. They were like, great, would you sell? And I told them what I sold and it wasn't even a related product to what I'm selling now. And they were like, how much did you make? I said, well, I didn't really make much. I only sold $10. And they both turned and looked at each other. Like, I was crazy. They were like, well, $10 is nothing, dad, it's nothing. But they had missed the point because they were kids at the time. The point was I had made something and that's something that $10 sale motivated me to say, wait a second, if I can sell one of these at $10, maybe I could sell two, maybe I could sell three, maybe I could sell four. And it's really that getting started. It's really that having that little tiny success that's gonna bring motivation because like I told you in the beginning, motivation is not success and it never will be success. And that's where too many people are led down their own path. They're like, well, as soon as I get motivated, I'm gonna do something. My whole problem is I don't have the motivation I need. And that is not your problem. That has never been your problem because anybody who's ever succeeded in anything did not start with motivation. They started with a goal and they started with something they wanted to do and they looked for inspiration by looking out there and trying to find people who had done some of the same things to prove to themselves, to prove to their brain that it could be done. And then they just started working on it. They didn't necessarily feel motivated. Now, there may be people who get up every single day and is motivated to do work every single day, motivated to really get going every single day, but I don't believe it. I don't believe it's true. I believe most people have to push themselves. And another analogy is guys, if you've ever been to the gym, going to the gym's not fun. Okay, now it may be for some people. My son's a bodybuilder and he's all into that. And he says he likes going to the gym but when I really corner him on it, I said, do you feel like doing it every day? He goes, well, no, I don't feel like doing it every day. I said, well, why do you do it? He says, because of the results. So once again, it comes down to the results. If you go to the gym for a week and you don't see any results, is it easy to lose your motivation? The answer is, yeah, it's real easy to lose your motivation. But if you continue to go to the gym for two weeks and three weeks and three months and four months and six months, is it possible that if you force yourself to do this every single day or five days a week or three or whatever you've selected, is it possible you could see some results? And the obvious intelligent answer to this is, of course. Of course. I mean, yeah, I mean, if I did it for six months and I did pushups and I rode the bike and I lift weights, I could probably get stronger. I probably may even see a difference in my body. And that's the thing that's gonna motivate you. That's the thing that's gonna motivate you. Once you start to see results in online sales, in your business, in your life, whatever it is you're trying to achieve, that's where your motivation's gonna come from. So in this session today, if you get nothing else, but you get the fact that it's what you do that's gonna gain you the motivation, not the motivation's gonna get the success, then you've won. You've won. You've got this, okay? So put in the comments if you're understanding this. If you get the concept of motivation versus success, because they are really closely related, but they're backwards. You need to be successful before you can be motivated. So if you're getting this, put that in the comments there and I'm gonna switch back and forth between YouTube and my inner circle group over here. My inner circle group's awesome. Love you guys. You are just awesome. But put in there if they get that. Robert says, yeah, he gets it. And Denny says he gets it. And Eric says he gets it. Now, you're not gonna see all the comments for everybody else, guys. So don't let that freak you out. Go, oh, I don't wanna do the only one comment. You're not the only one. There's plenty of people commenting. I have the comment section term to private right now, just for this setup today to make sure we got everything working right. So don't worry about that. But I do wanna hear from everybody. You know, Marco, Christine, David, Ostra, you know, all you guys put a comment in there. Let's see here. Christine is saying, so far I've sold only $24 worth of books with no advertising at all. I know, Christine, how you doing? That showed me that it can work if I start advertising and marketing. So yes, I get it, cool, cool. And I know Christine very well. She is one of our inner circle people. And you could do this stuff, guys. You could do this. I mean, I'm a guy who had zero experience. I was in the car business. You know, what am I doing selling stuff online? What right do I have to sell stuff online? And I finally told myself, I had the same right that everybody else does. You know, my wife, who is sitting across my office right now, liked animals. And I encouraged her a little bit, but that's not what got her to accomplish things. What got her to accomplish things was putting forth effort. You know, and I told her she could do it. Maybe she needed somebody to tell her she could do it, but she's super smart. I mean, super smart. Like, you know, this morning, I couldn't get some of these technical things worked out within seconds, she did. And the first thing she always tells me because I think she's always afraid of not being able to figure out what I need. And she'll say, well, I don't know anything about that. Well, I'll look at it. So she kind of prefixes it with that, but she always seems to figure it out. Is that not right, Jessica? Yell out. Yeah. Yes. And you know what she's done is she has started training dogs. Now I will tell you when I met her in 2010, she didn't even think she liked dogs. And she's getting ready to do a really cool webinar, guys. And I would highly recommend you check it out if you have a pet, but she's doing a training on how to get your dogs to stop barking. Wow, that's pretty cool, right? Imagine, you know, and our dog is trained at this point. This is what she's done with our dog. She's trained the dog. When a dog barks, the dog's alertness and letting us know, you know, there's somebody at the door, there's a noise outside, whatever. We can sit on the couch at this point, look at her and go, thank you. And she stops and she'll walk over and lay back down because we have taught her that communication. And that's how good Jessica's training is. So I'm gonna put a link over there, Jessica. Could you put a link on YouTube and in a webinar jam to your training? You can't put links on YouTube? You can't put links on YouTube. Oh, okay. Well, there you go. We can't put the links there. But you could say it out loud. You could do that. So to register? Yeah, yeah. If they wanna get that free training from you. So she's gonna get that for you guys. But on top of that, she wrote a book. Now, some of you may go, and I know Christine's written books. She's the one that's called right now, you know, people think, well, man, people write books. They're so intelligent. They're so smart. They know how to do so much. And that's just not the case, guys. If you've been through school, you've written a book. You just did it in pieces. You had to write different papers throughout school. And if you add them all up, it's a book. It's not really that hard to do. So Jessica actually put a drop to link in there for you guys. If you wanna register for that dog training, I would definitely do it. It's a dog barking masterclass. That's pretty cool, right? Dog barking masterclass. And you also have a Facebook group, Jessica. Somebody's asking, do you have any other information? Could you put your Facebook group in there too? She has a free group guys called the Art of Pet Parenting. Now, the reason I'm telling you about her is not to promote her stuff, which obviously we wanna promote her stuff. But I'm trying to show you, she went from, I don't think I like dogs in 2010 to loving dogs, being involved in dog rescue, having dog courses, having a dog Facebook group, writing a book on dogs. I mean, what the heck? Did she have a right to do that? Well, you would say initially no, she didn't because she didn't know anything about it. But she just did what I told you to do, guys. She picked a goal, she went out and got educated. She watched other people doing this, so she got the motivation. You follow a lot of people in that too, don't you, Jessica? Yes. She follows a lot of dog trainers. And you can say more than just the word yes, Jessica. She doesn't talk a whole lot, so you may wanna mention who you follow or something, you know, tell me a little bit about that. And if you could- You wanna follow the dog training? Yeah, who do you follow? Victoria Stilwell, she follows her. Absolute dog trainer. What do you learn from these people? Why do you follow them? What's the point? You should always continue to educate yourself. And if there's something that someone else is doing that I can learn from and be better because I learned from it, then I should do it. Yeah, so she's basically saying she learns from these people, guys. And that learning, okay, helps her educate herself and then she can do some of the same similar stuff. And I've had people say, well, I don't wanna go out and educate people with somebody else's information. It's not their information. They learned it from somebody else. Nobody, nobody owns information. And, you know, the purpose of this call today is all about motivation, but I'm just trying to show you different ways that you can get this motivation and not lose it. And, you know, please don't tell me things like YouTube doesn't work or Facebook ads don't work or Google ads don't work because that's insanity. Why? Why do I know this? Because people are doing it, right? They're doing it. They're getting results. Now, if you're doing something and it's not working for you, but it's working for somebody else, what does that tell you? What does it tell you? It tells you you're a bad person, right? No, of course not. You're not a bad person. It tells you that you may be doing it wrong, okay? So what you do to get yourself motivated is go find those people who are getting results, see what they're doing and emulate that. Take what they're doing and put it into yours. Now, don't steal somebody else's personality. You don't want to be just like somebody else. Like, I don't know how to be anybody else, but I do see people who try to copy other people's personality. And guys, just don't do that, guys. Be yourself, but do what they're doing. You know, I started my YouTube channel, shoot, four or five years ago, and I didn't do it right. I wasn't consistent, okay? I didn't, you know, do the title tags. I didn't do the descriptions. I didn't do the things I was supposed to do. I didn't make the videos long enough. They weren't, there were so many things wrong. And just in the past few months, I've changed all that. And we're getting a lot of results. You know, I have thousands of subscribers at this point and starting to get comments. But I know for a fact that if I keep doing the things that I see other YouTubers do, okay? And I'm not trying to be a YouTuber. I'm just trying to get information out there to educate you guys. But if I do some of the same things they do, I know I'll get the same results. It only makes sense. And so will you. So understand that this whole motivation thing is gonna start with a goal. It's gonna start with you getting inspired by other people. And here's the big one. It's gonna start with effort. Effort, effort, effort. I can't impress upon you enough effort. Now, what your mind's gonna do is it's gonna try to protect you from pain every step of the way. Now, nowadays, we don't need to be protected from pain because I'm not gonna walk out my front door and I'm not gonna be attacked by a lion or a bear. Okay, it's not gonna happen, not my neighborhood. We got some coyotes though, that's a possibility. But my mind's gonna still try to protect me from anything that's gonna be uncomfortable. And last night, Jessica and I were working on her masterclass. And I got to a point and I said, we need a video of you going to the front door and the dog barking and you demonstrating how the dog will stop barking with you just saying thank you. And she looked at me and I looked at her and it was dark and it was late. And she says, yeah, let's do that tomorrow when it's light and we'll get that video done. And I thought for a second and I actually, that ran through my brain too. And I said, no, I said, let's do it right now. She goes, we don't have any lights. We'll just get a light. We have lights in the studio. We'll just go ahead and pull the lights around and do it right now. And we did it and it only took us, how much time did we spend on that, Jessica? Five minutes, five minutes. But what did our mind do? Our mind says, wait a second, you're comfortable on the couch right now. Why don't you just wait till tomorrow, right? Now, we went ahead and did it anyhow. We didn't feel like doing it, got it done. And throughout the day, when you're trying to work on your business, you're gonna have stuff like this happen. Every time you get an idea, your brain is gonna try to squash that idea because your brain knows that if you get an idea to do something that's gonna require you to do something, it could be uncomfortable. And your brain says, I gotta protect you, man. You're starting to make yourself uncomfortable. We don't want discomfort. We wanna be comfortable all the time. So guys, what I wanna tell you basically today and put your comments over there. If you have any questions on this motivation, if you've had trouble being motivated in the past, tell me some of the obstacles that you've come against that have really prevented you from succeeding. Because I'm telling you, if you haven't succeeded right now, it's probably due to effort, but you probably tied it to motivation, okay? And you don't wanna do that. And I know when I started my business, I was guilty of it because initially, I wanted to start this online business. And I told myself, well, you work so many hours, you only got a couple hours a night when you come home and you watch TV, and by the time you watch TV, it's bedtime. And then one day I woke up watching TV, I was sitting there on the couch, so I'm like, wait a second, I'm watching TV. Could I be taking this time and doing something else with my time that would be more valuable? Now here's the killer to this whole thing. Your mind wants to protect you from doing things that are uncomfortable. And I get it. I get it, I get it. But the things that you do that are uncomfortable right now, like back then when I turned off the TV and I started working in my online business, that was uncomfortable, really uncomfortable. But now I have the comfort and security of a business and I have more money and I can travel and do things. So you've gotta do the difficult stuff upfront. Oster says it's difficult to keep focused for longer time. Yes, it is. And I would tell you the thing to do is to take whatever you wanna do and do it in chunks. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this camera here. All right, is that the camera? And I'm gonna turn it towards this wall. See this wall here guys, do you see that? These are sticky notes of things that I need to do. Now on the far side over there, I don't have things I need to do, you can't see it because I've got all these studio lights in here. But I have broken down into chunks of things I need to do, get this camera back over here again. And the best way for long-term is to set little tiny goals, okay? So I shoot videos for YouTube and I do that once a week and I try to do like 10 of them and I don't put up 10 a week. I mean, I don't do that, that would be craziness or would it be, it'd probably be good. But I try to do 10 because I wanna post five a week. So when I have to film 10 videos, I don't put on a sticky note, film 10 videos, I don't do it. What I do, and this is what you can do to stay focused for a longer time, is I break it down into segments, okay? So I'm gonna put a sticky note there, I'm gonna put make 10 titles for videos. That's my sticky note. I put it up there for a day and that day I gotta make 10 titles, okay? Now that sticky note that I put make 10 titles, when I get those 10 titles done, I'll take it and move it over to the done side. Now if you notice the done side over here, let me grab this camera again, okay? The done side over here, see all those notes? Those are all done, pretty cool, right? All those are done. Now, what does that do every day? Well, when I come in here and I see all the things I've gotten done, it really motivates me. So then I take that same task about making those 10 videos and another sticky note I'm gonna write five scripts. Not 10, write five scripts. And as soon as I get five of the scripts written and I don't write it word for word but they're bullet points or whatever, I move that note over there, I've gotten that part done. And then I'll do another sticky note and it will say write five scripts. That way I get my 10 complete and I move that over there to my done side. Now some of you may go, this is silly. It may be silly, but it works, it really does work. And then what I'll do is I'll write another sticky note where I have to actually record the videos. So, you know, also what I would tell you is take that big task and break it down into really small ones. So I've got a bunch more comments here. It says, who is this from here? Robert is saying, lots of these events one subconscious protects us from goes back to events from childhood or to our late teens, that is a really good point. It's really good point. I love it because we are not the sum of what happened to us in the past. And I see people do that all the time. They'll say, well, you know, such and such happened to me as I, you know, when I was a kid, so what do you expect? I mean, what do you expect? I mean, this happened to me when I was a kid. I grew up in a super poor neighborhood. So how could I ever do well? Well, I grew up in a super poor neighborhood. I grew up in a neighborhood where people selling drugs on the corner. You know, I was involved in a lot of stuff as a kid. And, you know, to say that's who I am as a grownup is absurd. That's who I was then because of my actions. And this is who I am now because of my actions. I know I've watched Jessica, I admire her a lot because she's done a lot and accomplished a lot. And she didn't come into this with tons of experience. She didn't come into this with tons of confidence. You know, it was just the opposite for her too. But she's achieved these things. And she has obstacles all the time. And she has stuff fail. And I have stuff fail. And it doesn't matter because we know that if we keep putting forth effort, we keep working. Like this coaching call right here, every Friday this coaching call, and I've missed very few in the past, I think what, three years Jessica? It's going on a good three years now. Going on three years of doing this call. And guess what guys, there are days when I don't feel motivated to do this call. I say, oh, I'll do this call, I'll do this call. But you know what? If you push through and you keep doing it and keep doing it and keep doing it, after a while, guess what? You get results. So I hope I've explained this motivation thing to you a little bit. Jessica, do we have some free links where they can get some free stuff? I've got a course I think I could give you guys. I have a free e-commerce course. I don't know if you've got any other links for training. Maybe my art of e-commerce success guys, if you wanna join my Facebook group, if you're not in it, I highly suggest you going there. She just put up the link here for my free e-commerce course. Now, if you're watching this on YouTube, you'll look down in the description and you will find links down there. And Jessica, that's where we can put links, by the way. Not in the chat section, but it's in the description. You'll find stuff down there guys. If you're curious about this microphone, this backdrop, any lighting, any cameras, anything I'm using, I also have links down there for, and I keep looking down here, I know you guys are actually here. I have links down there for Amazon where you can find all this stuff. They are our affiliate links. Check those things out. She's also giving you a subscription link here to the channel, it's bit.ly forward slash yt-jrf, okay? So that is the subscription link to my YouTube channel. I highly recommend you subscribe to the YouTube channel. I do five videos a week, Monday through Friday. On Saturdays, oftentimes I will post my coaching call, which this is a coaching call right now. However, we probably won't post this one because I already did it on YouTube. We don't wanna do it twice. But I really appreciate you guys showing up. Put it in your comments there. If you, somebody's saying, what kind of camera do I use? Let me get over here, okay, I can't. Is it David? Yeah, David, I've got on my screen that I'm recording with right now is a Logitech. And there is a link in the description below for this particular camera. However, I use a Nikon, is it D2,400 or 4,200? I have, Jessica? 3,200. 3,200, excuse me. There's a link down in there for that. Now that's the camera I normally use. I look a little dark here, but that's the camera I normally use. I'm looking a little dark. Yeah, she said, speak up a little bit. Yeah, that would be a really good recommended one for him. So that is in the description guys. You can check that out. Tell me in that comment section, there were got tons of comments here. Do you feel like you could be more motivated this year? Do you feel like you could do more this year? Do you understand that there's a difference in motivation and success and motivation does not come before success. It never has come before success. Now, I will tell you excitement comes before success. I mean, you get excited about doing something online. David says, yes, he understands it. People do get excited. They get revved up, but that wears off. It always will. It always has, it always will. When the hard grind shows up, when you got to get up early, you got to stay up late, when you got to turn off the TV, you know, we've just got to have gotten to where we allow ourselves TV during dinner, because you really can't work and eat. I mean, I guess you could, but that'd be a little bit overkill. But, you know, we also are smart enough to know that we have things we want to accomplish. And as soon as we, you know, finish with those plates or whatever, we're going to get back to the brass nuts there. We're going to do the stuff we got to do. We're going to get on it. I hope you guys are going to do that. Put in the comments section if you are ready to succeed in 2020. Put in there, I will succeed in 2020. Just put in there, I will succeed in 2020. I want to see those comments pop up there. I will succeed in 2020. Because I'm going to do it. I'm going to put mine in. I can actually, I will, excuse me, I have a hard time spelling guys, in 2020, and you'll see my comment pop up there, because I will succeed in 2020. Will you succeed? Nerman says he will succeed. Michael says he will succeed in 2020. I love it guys. That's it. David, I will succeed in 2020. If you actually start saying this to yourself, it's going to make a huge difference. I'm telling you, it will, it will, it'll sound silly in the beginning. You'll be like, oh my, oh my, so. Ostra says she's ready. If you start telling yourself some positive stuff, believe me, your mind will react. Your mind will do the things that you need to do. It doesn't mean that money's just going to show up in your mailbox, though it may. What it means is your mind's going to start saying, well, I want to do things to get to this point. If you start telling yourself these things. We have affirmations like I've got a light over here and it's got a whole bunch of money on it. It says a month because I want to make that amount of money a month. Jessica has it on her computers. Put it on yours. Put on there, $10,000 a month. If you look at it every day, Bruce says I will succeed in 2020. Nerman says I will do the work required to succeed. That's even better. That's even better, right? I will do the work to succeed in 2020. Don't put dumb things up there like I am successful. No, don't do that. People will say, well, yeah, put up there that you're successful, that you're a winner. No, not before you've done it. Put up there what you're going to do because if you're 40 and you're broke and you live in America, put that up there. Put up there, I'm 40, I'm broken, I live in America. I mean, put the facts up there. Sometimes negative motivation will get you going. So what you want to do is you want to put up there your goal or what you're going to do and make yourself see it every single day. Guys, I really appreciate you listening. I'm going to go ahead and close this thing down. I've got so many things to close down because I've got YouTube going and I've got OBS going, which is the software thing. And I got to figure out how to close it all out. But I really appreciate you guys being here. We're going to head out to lunch. If you're not my friend on Facebook, friend me on Facebook because what we do on Friday is we go out to lunch. We try to find a cool place and have a nice lunch and we take pictures and we share our lunch with you but I'd love to share with you where we're going today but you won't know unless you friend me on Facebook. It's J.R. Fisher, look for me, friend me and I'll show you some really cool pictures of lunch. Jessica, do you have any parting words for everybody today? She's kind of across the studio from me today. So this is kind of a tough setup. She's got a quote. You ready guys? I guess excuse. Be stronger than your strongest excuse. I love that, okay? We all have excuses. Everyone else. Robert says, good session. Thanks, take care and enjoy your weekend. Thank you so much, Robert.
