 Hey, welcome everybody, welcome to Saturday morning. It is the 5th of February. Can you believe this? 2022, a little chilly here in the Austin area. We're just north of Austin, Texas. Matter of fact, it is, what has it gotten up to? It's gotten up to a balmy 35. It was in the teens tonight, or last night, excuse me, and it will be probably the 20s tonight. But I want to welcome everybody. We're gonna have a great session today. We're gonna talk about working at home. A lot of us have done this, and I thought it was high time we kind of investigated. Is it really a good thing? Is it good? Because I'm gonna tell you, there's some real positives, and there's some real negatives, and I want to go through all those. And I want to talk to you one-on-one also. So please, please, please make sure that you put a comment in that chat section. You can put a question in there. You can tell me what your weather was. I don't know. You could tell me what you had for breakfast, whatever, but be part of the conversation. I impress that upon people so much because what I found over the years is the more you're part of the conversation, the more successful you are. If you just sit back on your own, yeah, nah, that's not so good. You gotta get out there. You know, even if you're a little bit shy, you know, put a comment in there, say hello, whatever you wanna say, but make sure you participate. I really appreciate that when you do that. So are you working from home? Put that in the chat box. Have you done that? Do you think it's a good idea? I do work from home, but I also work at other places, and I'm gonna tell you about that in just a second too. I have an office, excuse me, I have an office here in Texas, in Round Rock, Texas, which is not far from me, so I can go to that office there. But I have a lot of other choices too, and so do you. But let's kinda look at it, let's kinda go through it and see, you know, there's some fallacies in there. There's some stuff that's just not true also. There's a lot of benefits, okay? I'm not gonna say there's not a lot of benefits. Most of it being that freedom, right? 65% of remote workers survey said they wanted to remain remote, okay? They didn't wanna go back to the office after this lockdown shut in, whatever you wanna call it. It increased the amount of work from home jobs in the market, so that's kind of a cool thing. So if you did wanna work from home, now there's a lot of opportunities for you. And there's been a lot of studies done on this, you know? What about the expenses of this? You know, they pulled 1,006 workers on their opinions on whether employers should cover the remote work cost. And they found that apparently 70% agreed that the employers should cover some or all of the costs. As a matter of fact, 37.5% of the employers should cover all remote expenses, that's what they thought. And 32.8% believed a partial budget should be provided for remote work expenses. So 29.7% said that employers should pay for remote expenses entirely. So, you know, what's your opinion? Put it in the chat box, put it in the comment area. I haven't asked you to subscribe, please do so. Subscribe, turn that red button down there if it says subscribe and it's red, it means to turn it gray. Give me a thumbs up, click that thumbs up and don't forget, ring the bell, turn on all phone notifications so you're notified each and every single time I go live. So here's the big one, here's the big one. Is working from home really save you money? Is it saving you money? The average American can spend about a $5,000 a year just on transportation, okay? So that's very expensive. Not to mention that you have to take time to go get gas in your car. You gotta go get your car worked on, you have maintenance on your car and all those type of things. So, you know, when you're working from home, yeah, you can save gas money. But you know, even if you're not working from home, if you live in a metropolitan area, you can take public transportation if you wanted to do that. The average American travels between five and 13 miles each way to go to work, which requires frequent trips to the gas station. And I can tell you when I did work a job for other people, I always drove more than 13 miles because my home was way out in the country and it was, you know, probably 30, 40 miles each way I had to drive, so it was pretty bad. Now, the next benefit I would say is tax break eligibility. Remote workers, freelancers, people who are self-employed, that type of person are eligible for tax breaks for a home office deduction. You can actually depreciate the portion of their house that you're using for work. So, that's gonna save you a lot of money right there too. Also food, number three, I guess is food. You can save a ton of money by eating at home. I mean, eating out's expensive, guys. Even if you get a fast food now, I see these meals that McDonald's are working and I don't really ever eat them every now and then I'll go to them. But it's, you know, nine or 10 bucks for a simple meal. And then when you multiply that times five days a week, you know, you get 50 bucks, that's what, $200 a month, that's a lot of money. I know you can make a sandwich at home a lot cheaper or, you know, some vegetables or probably something a whole lot healthier too. The next thing I will tell you, number four, oh, we got some comments in here. Let me go ahead and pop those in so you guys can see what everybody's saying here. Let's get over to, let's get over to Paul. Paul says it's cold in hot springs. A little bit of smell. How cold is it, Paul? That's what I wanna know. How cold is it? My wife has been working from home for 10 years. Wow. She enjoys the safe travel time she used to have. Yeah, I, boy, I tell you, the travel thing can be a real pain. I didn't enjoy that at all. Let's see, Roy says, I just set up my Facebook page to sell customers in the USA. Roy, congratulations, my man. We've been talking about this for about a week and Roy's got a great business with diabetic patches. He says, slow start, but steady. Remember me? I remember you. The vitamin with diabetic patches. Guys, check out Roy's stuff. What's the name of the page, Roy? Put that in the chat section there so we know. Anything else you would suggest for me? YouTube channel. I know it sounds like ridiculous because I'm sitting here doing YouTube right now. There's nothing better than a YouTube channel to really connect with your audience, to answer questions for them. And you see we're doing it, Roy. We're doing it with you. But that connection I think is just invaluable. I've met so many really cool people on YouTube. Not to mention the fact that you could actually make money off it too, but it's an open channel for people to talk to you. So I would highly recommend you doing that. Paul says, I really like my wife's system where her laptop is docked and she uses an ergonomic keyboard and has a 27 inch monitor. Yeah, that's really cool. And you know, I gotta tell you that's different for everybody. My wife really liked having a desktop. So we bought her the Mac one for the office with the big screen and all that. And she used that for years and years and years and it started messing up. I just got old, whatever. And she used her laptop one day and she hasn't gone back. And now I've used my laptop since, what, 2000? And I wanna say 15, 16, I got rid of my desktop. I just quit using them. They weren't useful to me anymore. And it was like, I don't need it. But it may work for your wife. And maybe she needs a big screen because of what she's doing. So you know, that does vary. Okay, audio is good, video not sharp, but viewable. Ah, I'm sorry about that. I think it's just lives in general. You know, the technology's not there yet for lives, unfortunately. Let's see here. Roy says, my old, and I appreciate your comments guys, more than you know. My old desktop computer just died. Anybody got suggestions for replacement? Hey Roy, it's like I just said, why not a laptop? The cool thing about a laptop, and I like that. I like a MacBook Pro. I don't use the big screen. I use a 13 inch screen. It's just because of the weight of it. Because I travel around. I go to different Starbucks. I go to different places to work on my laptop. So I don't want a big screen. And I don't need it for what I do. Paul says, Tim's got down below freezing, but high today of 45. You know, that's not really high as it is. But it still beats what it could be. I know the Northeast is just digging out. Hey, the next thing you can do guys if you're working for moments, you can save on clothing. That would be our number four. I don't have to buy dress clothing anymore. And you can kind of combine your clothing with your casual wear. Your casual wear can be your clothing. Now, if you have to wear something in particular on video, you have to, I don't. But when I shoot my regular recorded videos, I have dress shirts I do. And those have to go to the cleaners. And I have to get those. And I have to pay to have those clean. So I do that. Number five. Number five is the thing that everybody was stunned about during the lockdown is there's increased productivity from working at home. Many workers in the past couple of years have reported that they've done increased productivity due to working from home. In a survey that was taken of remote teams, 65% of workers said that they felt more productive at home than they did in the office. That's interesting because you would think, people would be at home and they would mess, screw off and watch TV and listen to the radio or play games, but they were. They were actually more productive. And that survey was done by Hubstaff. So that's something really interesting. I'm kind of a pro tip here. Setting limits on your phone for social media, games, other activities can really help you be more productive too, and you do want to be productive, especially if you work for somebody else. But I know working for myself, I really, really, really want to be productive because it's my money, right? Since it's my money, I'm going to even be more productive of it. All right, let's get back over to some of your comments here. There we go. Let's see here. You guys should all move to Incinada. Best weather in the world. It is beautiful there. And I used to go down there, Roy, and I would get the lobsters. They do these split-grilled lobsters in Incinada. Guys, if you have a business, not as beautiful, he's right, it's really beautiful there. However, I do like the hospitals in the U.S. I will say that. My wife and I were in Cabo St. Lucas and she got kidney stones in the middle of the night and we had to go to the hospital. Woo, that was a trip. They had 12 rooms in the hospital. The doctors were the only ones that spoke any English. My wife doesn't speak any Spanish, I speak some. And at nighttime, the doctors went home. So, you know, she had to spend the night there. She was pretty ill at the time. And we couldn't speak English to anybody, so it was very, very tough. But I do agree, it's a beautiful place down there. Just not fun to the hospital. I like the hospitals here. And speaking of hospitals, guys, I do have a little announcement. My son was in the hospital for the past couple of days. He had some real bad digestive problems. They thought that we were going to have to operate in miraculously. He got well yesterday and they sent him home. We don't know what happened to him. His food and his stomach was not going down into his bowels and it wasn't being digested. It wasn't going into his intestines. They don't know why, but he is better. And thankful for all the kind comments I got from you guys too. He's 27 years old. He's in great shape. He's a bodybuilder. He eats right every day. He shouldn't be the one that's in the hospital with a problem like that. Paul says, currently working on making my home office to get rid of the clutter and go minimalist. And you know, Paul, I've done that. I have zero paper on my desk, no paper whatsoever. I have one spot in the house where I have a few pieces of paper and I got to go through those and get this cleared out. But I don't keep any paper at all. I mean, receipts, they can look it up on your credit card. You don't need those anymore. Any documents that are really important, you can scan and put them online. The only piece of paper I know that I have to have is that little backs card that you get. I got to have one of those for some reason. Keep those comments coming, guys. I really do appreciate that. It's very helpful to the session. Number six, here's a good one. You have more family time, right? Long hours in the office can reduce the amount of time you're able to spend at home with your loved ones. And all that travel time eats into that too, especially if you work night shifts or long days. Working from home allows more quality time with your family, your wife, your husband, you know, whatever. And it's really nice. It really is. And I have a little tip on this. It's important to make time for important people in your life. Okay, guys, do this. Set boundaries, stick to it. Every Friday, we go out to a lunch and, you know, we post some pictures, but we have a Friday lunch every Friday. We went to a great place yesterday. It was a Chinese restaurant on this Chinese shopping center right outside of Austin. Delicious food. I had duck and chicken and roast pork. Oh my God, it was so good. I still have a lot left. I couldn't eat at all. Don't need to eat at all. That's the truth, but really nice. Really nice to be able to do that. Number seven, environmentally friendly. You're doing good stuff for the earth. Okay, commuting has an effect on the entire ecosystem. Okay, given the pollution that comes from transportation, as a matter of fact, 29% of greenhouse gases, they say, they say, I don't know, get emissions that come from transportation alone. I think that was in 2019. Most people don't have electric cars. So exhaust and other emissions contribute to that carbon footprint in the US. And you can say, you know, it affects us or it doesn't affect us. It ain't good for us. Okay, it's not good to have more small pollution. A 30 mile commute to work can result in hundreds of thousands of miles on your car, significantly impacting the environment through your career. This makes a remote work environment a healthy option, okay? To increase your positive impact on the environment, consider sustainable office furniture that's made from eco-friendly materials like recycled wood or glass or iron. And you know, you can find a lot of this stuff for free. We have a free group in our neighborhood. People are posting stuff in there all the time and you can actually get this stuff for free. All right, let me get back to your comments here. Let's see what we got. Danny, what's going on, man? Good to see you here. Know how it is when it's your son. Thank you, buddy. I really appreciate it. Danny Howard, very kind words there. Roy, did your son get vaccine lately? No, he did not. He got it, oh gosh, almost a year ago. And you know, it's funny you bring that up Roy because he was in the hospital in September because he had a bowel obstruction from a botched surgery. They actually injured his bowels when they were doing a hernia operation. So he's had it tough lately. He really has. And thank you for asking, very nice of you. Danny goes for a paperless office too. Yeah, there's no point, really, is there? I mean, is there really, what's the point in paper? My son is funny there because I was talking to him the other day and he's in school again. And I said, how's school going? And he's online, he does his school online. And he says, just a lot of papers to write. I said papers, he goes, well, I mean you write online. But then we still call it papers, right? There's no paper whatsoever. I think you have to be disciplined and have a set routine. Best investment was a good chair. People justify a Mercedes for a 30 minute trip would have a bad chair there in eight hours. Yes, you're right, Paul. Let's see here. Being in an area that has good internet speeds and dependability is paramount to efficient workday. Glad son is doing well. Thank you so much for the kind words. I do appreciate that. Yeah, and you know, I think it is important. I have a pretty nice executive chair here. It's nice and added, that's comfortable. And I've had this thing, woof. Wow, I've had this since I moved to California and that was in 2013. So this thing's going on nine years but it's like brand new because it's a good chair. I spent a lot of money for it. The next benefit, you have an increased work-life balance. Working from a home office really can fill up your day. It'll leave you little time to yourself and commuting. In-person work can also be draining by the time you get home. You're worn out from all the driving. Remote work can allow for more mental and physical energy which ultimately improves your work-life balance. So it is more balanced. And number nine, and by the way, after I finish this, I'm gonna go through a lot of the cons because there are some cons guys. In case you haven't figured this out, there are some big cons. But you have more scheduled flexibility. And I like that. I like that because a lot of times I'll work in the morning and then I don't do anything for a little bit and then I work in the afternoon and I work some in the evening. That nine to five shift takes up most of the day so it can be really difficult to schedule appointments and attend your kids' events or get stuff fixed around the house or whatever. We built a new house and if you've never built a new house before you have a lot of warranty work. So we've had a lot of people coming around fixing things on the house and all that but it afforded us the time to do that since we work from home, we can be here. So that's really, really nice. So the other part that I mentioned a little bit at the beginning, I'm gonna make this my number 10 and then I'm gonna go into some of the cons because I got a lot of cons. There's a lot of cons to this guys. It's not all positive. Let me check my comments here real quick. Guys, see what we got going on? I'm going to look into creating the YouTube channel. Good, Roy. Buddy, if you stick with it, you'll thank me for this. As you suggested, I commit to you to make my first video within one week. Okay, Roy, Roy committed. Paul, did you hear that? Jenny, did you hear that? Danny, did you hear that? Paul's gonna make a video within one week. Now, Roy's gonna make a video within one week. Roy, don't expect it to be a great video. It's not gonna be, okay? I mean, it may be but I mean, for the most part it doesn't matter. Just do something, get some videos up. Get an audience going because time's passing anyhow. And I've had so many people say to me, well, JR, it's taken you years and you only have 6,000 subscribers or whatever. I'm like, yeah, but the years are gonna pass anyhow. How many have you gotten in the past few years? See, that's the thing. People look at this and they expect this really quick response and tons of subscribers. It doesn't happen that way. You gotta really devote time to your audience and you gotta prove to them you're serious. Paul says with the given tools today, it's great to be able to work anywhere. I 100% agree and that's gonna be my number 10 in just a second. Let's see here. Flexibility, Danny says, flexibility is better for finding the creative thinking positive time. I totally agree with you. That flexibility, because sometimes you're not creative at eight in the morning when you gotta be on a job, right? But maybe at eight at night, you are. So you could do that. So number 10 is the big one for me. I could work from anywhere. Now, I mean anywhere. Like if I'm flying somewhere, I can set up my laptop on the plane. A lot of people say, oh my gosh, that would cost you like 20 bucks. I mean, I know, but I can make hundreds or thousands of dollars by typing when I'm on the airplane. What's $20? It doesn't matter. Many remote workers took the opportunity to work from anywhere, whether it be another country. You don't have to be in your own country. You could be somewhere. You could be on a vacation. I have been on cruise ships and worked there. The flexibility of working remotely allows you to work in different locations anywhere in the world. A coffee shop, it may be a change of scenery. I used to go down to the lake in San Diego and I had this little tray I hooked on to my steering wheel and I'd set my laptop there and look out over the lake and work. That's pretty cool stuff. And that's a lot more productive. I tell you, I felt more productive doing that. Now, quickly, let's address the cons because let's face it, there are some cons. You don't have the social interaction. That's number one. That's a tough one. If you don't have anybody around, I have my wife around, which is nice. And when I go to Starbucks or something like that, I can talk to other people there. So I do have that. But if you just sit, hold up in your apartment in some high rise and you never talked to anybody, that's difficult. I would not suggest you doing that, okay? You have an increased likelihood of overworking. For some of you, that may be a positive. You like to work more. For some of you, that could be a real negative. Maybe you're not coming out of your office and talking to your family and your kids and all that because you're just working all the time. Next thing, number three, is there's distractions, okay? At home, there's distractions. Now, I can work around them. My wife can work around them. Some of you may or may not be able to. Maybe your kids are coming in your office. Maybe your pet's coming in there. When my pet comes in, I turn around, I reach down, I pet her, she's fine, she walks away, she's good. The next thing is you don't really have, and this is number four in case you keep a track, you don't have a set routine. And that can be tough for some of us, you know? If you don't have that set routine. Roy says, I hear you. I just need to do. Yes, doing is it. With your help and guidance, I will. And hey Roy, I'm not kidding about that. I will be happy to help you. I'll tell you how to set that up. I have some videos on that on how to set up your channel. And you don't know. You may have a video that goes viral and you get millions of views on it. I don't have any that are viral. My subject matter is learning business, okay? That's not super exciting. I mean, I try to make it interesting, but it's not super exciting. I do have videos though that get 100,000 views, which is pretty darn good, okay? I'm happy with that. Let's see. Danny says, disturbances seem to hit in batches. Or they do, don't they? It's like the dog comes in and your kids come in and then there's a construction worker outside and then it's kind of builds up on there. I think missing the collaboration and fast feedback is one drawback. I think so too, Paul. I think so. But that doesn't stop you from getting on a Zoom or Skype and talking to people. Now I'm on Skype a lot. Most of the people that work for me are overseas. They're in India. I have some in Mexico. I have people with Philippines. And I spend a lot of time on Skype just talking to those guys. Now that can be difficult if I'm in a Starbucks because they can't hear me. It's so noisy with the machines and everything going. So I have to go outside. But when I'm at home, it's not a problem. So, you know, I do it. Okay, let's see. What else? There's no set routine, obviously. So you gotta really kind of make a schedule for when you're gonna work. I mean, I know every day I'm gonna get up and go to work. I know that every day. It's not like, am I gonna work today? Am I not gonna work today? And I'm talking like usually seven days a week. And now some of you say, well, gosh, that's terrible, seven days a week. Well, maybe on Sunday I work two hours in the evening. Maybe on Saturday I do a live with you guys and then I work on some editing or I come up with some ideas or something. So it's not, you know, 12 hours a day, from the time I get up to go to bed. Number five, the big thing is you gotta have some self-discipline. It's similar to not having a routine, but remote work requires self-discipline, okay? It gives you the independence to work whatever you want, but you gotta work, okay? You can't not work. It's your responsibility to make sure that you're not on social media for hours. When you have a project that needs to get done, you gotta get it done. In the pro section, I talked about this, the increased productivity at home can be achieved through setting the limits on social media or gaming or whatever you do. I don't really do much social media and I don't do gaming. So I'm lucky in that respect, but I'll check my email a lot. I check my stocks a lot. So I've gotta stay away from some of that because that's not good for me. Number six, there is a home office cost, okay? Cost money to have a home office. Setting up your home office requires that you have space, you have materials, you have furniture. This also means that your electric bill could be higher. Yeah, I mean, because you're home more. Maybe you want it warmer. Maybe you want it cooler in the summertime. But there's plenty of innovative ideas to incorporate into an office in your home like a closet office. You know, you can do that. You have a little desk that pops out of the closet. Make sure you set up your bedroom office so that you can keep it away from your daily life. Okay, and I used to have an office in my bedroom when I lived in Virginia. And that's, you know, I tended to stay there until I went to sleep, which was bad. But that was back when I was working at three or four o'clock in the morning because I was also working a job too. Number seven, you don't have as many perks. Okay, maybe having that job or working for somebody else, you got, you know, a free lunch every now and then. You got access to their gym. Maybe they had other amenities that you could use. When you work for yourself and you work at home, you don't have those things, okay? You know, working at a company with a positive and engaging company culture can actually make remote work more enjoyable. So if you have ideas on how to make your workplace more remotely friendly, try pitching those to your boss or to your company or whatever. I pitch them to myself because I worked for myself. A survey says that Americans feel that employers should cover their remote costs. I said that in the beginning. I gave you the statistics on that. Number eight, there's more effort in changing scenery. Okay, you have to actually say, hey, how am I gonna make things different today? I don't like to sit in my office and just work all day. It's not my thing. It's not my jam. I don't like to do that. I like to move around and be in different places. Let me see here. Do I have any other comments up there? No, guys, don't forget to put those comments in there. Those are very, very helpful. So you gotta really plan it out. Where am I gonna go today? I go to Starbucks. I get a whole bunch of different ones. Sometimes number nine, telecommunication problems. There's increased telecommunications. I can't get the word out. That became apparent during our shutdown, okay? It was a challenge for a lot of people. Some people argue that it was more difficult to communicate via messaging platforms, like Slack or email to those who don't prefer using telecommunication. So that's another problem if you're communicating with other people. And then the big one. Here's the big one, guys. And I'm gonna tell you it doesn't exist, but it does exist, all right? Here's number 10, motivation. Motivation, having the motivation to succeed in your career goes hand in hand with self-discipline. It's much more difficult to discipline yourself when you don't have the motivation to do it. Now, that being said, there's no such thing as motivation. It doesn't exist. Motivation is an outgrowth of success and effort. So if you're waiting to be motivated to do all these things I'm telling you, don't wait for it, just go do it. Do it before you're motivated. Now, out of that will grow some successes. Out of that will grow some sense of achievement. So if you go and do some things that you say you're gonna do, whether Roy do it a video, when he does that video, it's gonna motivate him to do more. That's where motivation comes from. It comes from successes and effort. So don't wait to be motivated to go to the gym. You're never gonna be motivated to go to the gym. Well, my son is because he loves going to the gym, but for the most part, most of us don't like doing things that make us uncomfortable. So you have to force yourself every single day. And I was talking to a relative the other day who was not successful, who was very, very negative. And that person said to me, well, I don't wanna force myself every day to do stuff I don't wanna do. That's life. That's life, okay? We force ourselves to brush our teeth and shower our body and exercise and try to eat healthy and all these things. That's life. You're gonna have to do this stuff, okay? It's not gonna just seem fun all the time. That's not how life works. It just isn't. Paul says, I found that starting at 6 a.m. allows the opportunity to focus more without interruptions. That's very true. And a lot of people experience that where they do that early morning thing. I'm not an early morning person. I mean, I'm like 7, 7.30, okay? So I'm not super early like you are, Paul. But I do realize that I have to have a set time that I normally start. And I think that's the key to that. Ultimately best for solo premieres who don't have to answer to a boss. Yes. And you know, you say you don't have to answer to a boss but I think we all kinda do, even with my own company, I'll have customers that contact us and they want information. And there's my boss, okay? I have employees that need help from me that need me to generate, let's say videos for my video editor. He needs videos. So he's kinda my boss there, right? I've gotta supply him with those videos. We all kinda have a boss in a way. Paul says also, Danny says, excuse me, mind over matter. Yeah, you just force yourself to do this stuff, guys. I mean, I don't know, whatever thing to tell you, there's no magic trick to it. Motivation wanders, inspiration gets the feet on the floor. Yes, you just do it. I mean, Nike had this right so many years ago when they came up with that slogan, they were like, just do it, just do it, okay? I mean, there really is no easier way of putting this. So guys, there is a lot of pluses to working at home and having a home office. There can be some negatives. I say, because I've been doing it for many, many years now, over a decade, I say working from home is the way for me to go. And when I say working from home, I don't always work from home, probably. I'd probably work at Starbucks more than I work at home. Now, certainly if I'm recording videos and doing that type of stuff, I do have to do that at home because I have the lighting and I have the office and all that, which you see right now. But for my editing and sales pages and writing emails and all that, I leave. I go to a Starbucks somewhere, I sit down, I get comfortable, I put my headset on, I don't really hear the noise around me, but I like the action around me. I like people moving around. I like people coming in and out. I like seeing different things. That doesn't have to be for you. Maybe you want solitude when you work. So whatever works for you is okay. Just know that there's positives and there's negatives. It's not all one or the other, okay? And if you have any other comments, hey, feel free to put it in the chat section. You guys have been wonderful today. I really appreciate all of you who are, you know, Danny and Paul and Roy and all you guys who are putting comments in there. And if you haven't put a comment yet, put it in there. If you like this session, put that in there. Did you get something out of this session? Is it something that you thought was worthwhile? Sounds like that relative needs to be social distance. Ha, ha, ha. I gotta tell you this one is, Paul, and it's a shame because it's a close relative. But that relative, and I don't want to say who they are, but that relative is always in a bad mood, is always depressed, is always down, has a lot of bad things happen in their life. And it's all their mindset. I just don't know how to describe that person. I feel sorry for that person. I really do. But I'm not gonna let it affect me. That's them. That's them. That's the way it is. Just the way it is. So guys, I hope this was good for you today. I'm gonna go ahead and jump out of here. I woke up today sec. You probably don't notice it. Terrible stomach aches, stomach problems. And I didn't, I didn't, I was like, oh, I don't want to do it alive. I don't want to do it alive. I didn't feel like it, but it doesn't matter. I owe it to you. I told you I was gonna do it. I'm gonna do it, and that's the way it is. Fortunately, I didn't have to leave the room and get sick or anything, which is nice. Can you send me whatever you have on setting up YouTube channel? Yeah, I will give you some links on that, Rory. If you would send me an email, you can send it to training at jrfisher.com, training at jrfisher.com. You can also tag me on Facebook or something like that, but training, T-R-A-I-N-I-N-G at jrfisher.com, J-R-F-I-S-H-G-R.com. Hiding it well, mind over matter. Hey, what's the point? What's the point in not hiding it, right? This is no point in complaining. It doesn't get any good. And it made me feel better. It made me feel better to talk to you guys. So it's better than that than sitting on the couch and not getting anything done. I have to say the new monitors and size is great for over 40 workers. Monitors and size is great for over 40 workers. I'm not quite sure what the 40 workers is. 40 workers. Do you have 40 workers, Paul? And let's see, Rory says, got it. Okay, don't forget, Rory, I really do wanna help you out and I wanna see you be super successful and that way I can get a testimonial from you on down the road. And you can say, hey, J-R, help me. That's all I asked for. That's all I asked for. Say something positive about me. I would really appreciate it. Let's see here. He says, ring the bell and share. Yes, Paul's reminding me.
