 What is up everybody welcome back to the channel you guys in today's video I'm gonna simply show you some numbers But in my opinion the most important numbers when it comes to management when it comes to time management When it comes to financial management when it comes to your freaking life and just overall business As a whole Keeping track of what we do you guys keeping track of what of what? Dollars go out right what we spend our money on is super super important And so shout out to my buddy Grove my client top producing realtor online entrepreneur out of South Africa My buddy Grove he shot me an email in fact he commented on one of my videos as well And he said David Can you simply do a video on your on your day-to-day routine on your actual schedule? And so I thought it'd be beneficial for a lot of you guys just to kind of share it because I Truly believe that as an entrepreneur Most of us are all over the place like at least I was in the beginning right as I'm Early days entrepreneurship. I'm working on all of the shit that doesn't make me money Right. How many of you guys feel that way where you you feel like you're freaking Running a thousand miles an hour your head is spinning right you're thinking you're you're you're all over the place You're overwhelmed you're working on so many different projects because you are a solopreneur right in the very beginning And and and and we can get overwhelmed right life business everything can be super complicated You know, you're doing every little task when it comes to trying to build something At least that's how I was and I'm all over the place and before you know what the days over and I'm like shit man I didn't make any money. I don't know what the hell I did that was really really productive Right, I'm just all over the place and so I truly believe a lot of us don't manage our time correctly And I truly believe a lot of us spend money on Dumb shit right when really we should be investing or we should be Or should we or or should we should should just be taking proper account of what's going out, right? What I'm paying for my landing page software what I'm paying for my internet service What my cell phone bill how many cells I need to make in order to cover all that You know, what's my reoccurring income need to be in order to cover these expenses, right? So Again, I have two simple sheets two two simple Documents that I that I that I swear by and and I and I hold myself accountable by and and by knowing the exact numbers Right from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed knowing exactly what you're doing at what time Is so freaking important man. It will allow you to really manage your life overall Manage your business and most importantly in my opinion Manage your family life as well because as entrepreneurs That's what tends to suffer a lot of us that are working our asses off again Where's the whole you know freaking working 10 hours 20 hours freaking 15 hours a day all that Where does that come from it comes from us burning ourselves out and and and and spinning our wheels Faster than what's really needed because again, we have no allocation. We we don't know we have nothing We have nothing freaking organized. We have nothing scheduled We we're just all over the place with our with our time and with our money So these two charts have really held allowed me to hold myself accountable You guys knowing exactly what money what what what expenses are going out knowing exactly what I need to make in my business in order to cover it Cover it and then and then again knowing exactly what I'm doing at what specific time And I live by these you guys I've been tracking my my expenses And I've been tracking my schedule on a simple document for a very very long time So when growth, you know sent me a message. I'm like damn hell. Yeah, man I'm glad so I was asking this because this is super super important So I'm going to have these two documents you guys down below in the description So there's no there's no opt-in or anything like that You can just click the link and it'll take you to Dropbox and you can just simply, you know download A copy of it and and and you know edit it and and make your own make your own version of it But the structure the blueprint I'm going to show you my exact my exact layout and and what I go by And if you don't have a Dropbox, you'll see a link there to activate a free Dropbox I use Dropbox for everything man all my images All my any file. I don't have anything I don't have anything on saved on my cell phone. So images a lot of you guys when you open up your cell phone You have freaking 75,000 images and videos, right? That's how my wife is I'm like dude. I'm like babe. What if you lose your phone? Like I know I know apple backs it up to if you if you toggle that freaking setting on, you know Apple will back up your stuff, but I don't use apple for backup I use Dropbox. So the moment I take a picture of my kid or whatever, right? I'll have it on my phone and then right away. I'll upload it to Dropbox and then same with PDF same with any type of file or video Nothing is on my cell phone and nothing is on my computer. I keep it all in the cloud So Dropbox has been amazing for years for me. So if you don't have an account, it's free There's a link right there in the description. You could just simply install Dropbox and then you can you can you can access this file Okay, so here are two basic and I have them on my board as well you guys so right here Um Behind me if you can see behind me, there's that board right over there, right right over there. There's that board That's where I have these two documents I have a couple other documents But these are really the most too important that I want to really focus on so one is is my schedule, right? One is the schedule knowing exactly what time I'm waking up knowing exactly what's going on at that time Um, it's so so important. So with me This is really the schedule based on on on an online Entrepreneur's schedule you guys, you know, a lot of you guys probably think I work 10 hours a day I I actually don't um And I truly believe those that that that think they're working 10 hours a day There's very very few of you man. So if you guys are like, hey, David, I work my ass off You ain't working nothing like I work freaking way longer than you I'm willing to bet you probably do as far as time But what are you actually producing is every hour of your 17 hour work day productive Hell no like I remember when I was in mortgages like we'd work We would we would work from 8 a.m. To 8 p.m But what you don't know is that four hours within there? We're at happy hour Right. It's like dude, like that's not productive man. Like that's not productive You can cram so much in a few hours like like here's my point Based on this, right? I'm waking up at 6 a.m Affirmations and prayer right 9 a.m To noon right 9 a.m. To noon and then 12 p.m To 1 p.m. And then 1 p.m. To 3 so when you look at this, it's really 9 a.m I start work to 3 p.m And you're like damn david six hours. That's it It's like bro. Do you know that I probably get done Way more in those six hours than you do in your 10 hour 11 hour 14 hour work day I know I know for a fact because I'm so focused. I don't do nothing else within these time time blocks Other than that, right? So I'm not taking a 15 minute smoke break. I'm not going on lunch for freaking an hour Right. How many of you guys are freaking wasting time smoking? Outside because you gotta take a smoke break. How many are you wasting time taking a 15 minute freaking break? How many of you are wasting your time lunch? It's like dude, even when I was in the workplace when I actually had a corporate job One and all of my jobs man since the age of 19 years old all of my jobs were sales jobs In my early 20 actually in all my my whole 20s from from freaking 19 to freaking 30 I was in call centers. So I was I was I was on the phone crushing it closing deals right outbounding telemarketing So one is and I was always top producer always always top producer and it wasn't because I was better than anybody I don't think it was that at all I truly believe because it was time management as everybody was outside smoking As everybody's in the break room talking shit and and talking about what they did over the weekend While everybody's shooting the shit during on on the sales floor, you know during the day I was zoned out. I didn't take one break. I don't smoke So I wasn't out smoking cigarettes and shooting the shit with everybody My lunch was at my freaking desk. My water was at my desk The only time I got up was to take a piss like that was the only time I got up man So I would work like I would work I would work from let's just say 9 a.m. To 5 because that was traditional, you know office hours or whatever And this was one job when I was in mortgages We went we went from 8 a.m. To 8 p.m. But then again, it's like dude a few hours We're just bullshit hours where we're just shooting the shit and freaking out drinking or whatever You know go out for lunch and we go out for lunch for three hours. It's like dude That's not productive. So one huge advantage that I would always have in the workplace was that I wouldn't take a break Like I would I would make blocks our blocks and I would just Go on a run, right? So so in this case what I do here my appointments 9 a.m To 12 p.m. I'm either on appointments, right clients schedule calls coaching clients We schedule calls 9 a.m. 10 a.m 11 11 a.m And then and then by 12 I'm normally I'm normally done because in those four hours It's really 9 a.m. 10 11 9 9 a.m 10 and 11 And and then and then 12 p.m. And then 12 p.m. Sometimes I'll have a call at 12 p.m But when I have three to four Super solid calls in a given day, that's all I really need That's all I really need to really to really maximize and again Everyone's a little different, but in my case what I'm doing is I'm building an online business. So I'm really Either running ads, which don't take once the ad is out Shit, I'm done like that ad is going to run 24 7 get all the engagement get all the views without me So there's no more physical effort after I click a button to run an ad my youtube channel All of you freaking amazing subscribers that are here These videos are running 24 7 without me. So it's like I'm online and so as as ads go out and people are buying my digital course That's all leverage man. That's why I love the internet That's why I love the leverage of what we have here online because building an online business. Yes, it does take physical time I'm showing you my physical time right now. I'm laying out the schedule But but as long as you you execute within that given time, the rest is out in the cloud The rest is online Digital courses is what I sell right? So so those cells those cells are being made without me Again, youtube videos are being watched without me, you know Affiliate marketing people are on subscriptions without me and I'm making a reoccurring income, right? So it's like I can do so much and again That's why I chose the online space because of the ability to leverage the internet That's what it's all about man. So as again, you guys are putting in 13 hours a physical act of physical effort thinking you're being productive You're actually not man. You're not you're not you're just not and so Within that three-hour period nine to 12 I'm on calls or if I'm if I don't have an appointment at 10 a.m. 11 a.m. For example, I'm I'm direct messaging so me One source of my income is from direct messaging and I'm going to show you my my expenses and and my incomes Right my my different price points and what I do right one source of income comes from direct messaging Which if you caught any of my videos in the in the in the very very beginning probably like 2018 over here on youtube I I in fact all freaking I'll probably link a few of those a few of those older videos in the description Where I'm just going over my direct message strategy, right? I I got really good at the direct message you guys I got really really good at the direct message And I would say I would say 90 plus percent of my of my clients Um Have came from the direct message because I got really really good at it and and and a lot of those appointments So as you look at my my my videos as you look at my channel here Many of the and if you go to my playlist, so if you go to playlist look at social media strategy calls A lot of those videos where I'm on a call with with a client or a prospect, right? Those are all appointments that came from a direct message, right? So 9 a.m. To 12 p.m. If I'm not on an appointment, I am Shooting out direct messages. Okay, and that's what I call prospecting. That's one form of income that covers A couple expenses, which I'm going to show you on the next page Okay, so and then 12 p.m. To 1 p.m. Is when I'm either either posting a youtube video Or I'm making this youtube video right 12 p.m. To 1 p.m. And and all I do is I stack videos, right? So I have a bunch of a bunch of videos in my youtube channel that are just stacked And and and preset and ready to launch at a given time or date, right? I I stack stack videos So I don't have to you know always make them on on the fly So I'm doing that 12 p.m. To 1 p.m. And then 1 p.m. To 3 p.m. Is when I'm Micromat not well, I hate using the word micromanage, but that's when I'm managing ads I'm looking at the ads manager. I'm going over ads or I'm setting up new ads, right from 1 p.m To 3 p.m. Or I'm working on funnels, right? I got different funnels and I'm working with cartridge funnels click funnel funnels Many funnel, you know projects that I'm working on It's in between those those those three hours 1 to 3 p.m. And then coursework coursework is Courses that I'm actually actually no no that's actually down here cantor roti, which I'll get into That's actually that's actually cantor roti from 9 p.m. To 12 p.m That's on the schedule until the 28th right until the 28th, but really what's down here After the 28th is going to be coursework, but but coursework is Up here. It's simply working on my course, right up here is working on my course But after the 28th of February for example, so depending on when you're watching this There's going to be coursework down here From 9 p.m to 12 a.m But that coursework is me actually learning from courses that I'm investing in right because you got to allocate time for that If you guys are on oh, you know over here buying courses and investing in different courses Whether it's coaching programs or learning how to run facebook ads or youtube whatever It's like shit man. Like that's time consuming, right? I just purchased a course. I just purchased a facebook advertising course and there's like freaking 37 videos in there. It's like that shit's time consuming. You got to allocate time to freaking Get through that right? So that's what I do from 9 p.m. To 12 a.m. Now in this case I'm gonna let you guys in on a little little secret I'm actually building a real estate company right right now At the making of this video. I'm actually studying for my real estate exam For my real estate license To be licensed for the state of california not to necessarily go out there and be a real estate agent Even though I will be one i'll be a licensed agent, but it's it's to really build a back-end business from it To invest and and and and make a commission on on on shit that i'm buying right so The investment side of it all is what is is why i'm doing it Um, so so right now within within this time period right now the making of this video It's freaking february. What are we at february fourth? so so So I have until the 28th my whole goal is to get through this course that i'm that i'm working on right now Which I which again i'm allocating 9 p.m. To 12 a.m. So right now i'm going through an actual real estate prep exam course And that's what I do at night. So Here's what goes on after 3 p.m. So i'm working 9 a.m. To 3 p.m Focused knowing exactly what i'm doing and again. I truly believe i'm lapping Most of you guys that are saying you're working 15 hours a day i'm i'm doing so much because again it's laser focused I don't get up for shit Other than other than a take one you know what I mean but but but that's about it And i'm right back to my desk and that's why also when I was in you know the corporate environment I'd have everything on my desk the only time I would get up is to use a restroom Go up use a restroom come right back and and I truly believe that was my that was one of my huge advantages of Of being being a top producer and in many call centers that I was in because again as most people were bullshitting You think you're there from nine to five you think you got so much time in a day Time flies man as you guys know time the day freaking just shoots by and you're like holy shit I didn't get nothing done right but but in my case again. I've had this type of of Layout and and in time management for a very very long time So I just kind of stick to it and it allows me to to be productive. So Mondays that's my monday and and it's pretty much the same man tuesday Funnel video this is where i'm doing doing a video for for for for my facebook for social media where I i'll do i'll do like a Screen share just like this where i'm sharing a funnel With with with with my audience and and and my whole intention with that with that is to either get them on click funnels Or get them on cartra with with with my funnel so 12 p.m. To to one to 1 p.m That's what's going on In fact, you know what this is this is this is what's missing right here. Let me fix this real quick This actually is supposed to go down here Because it's it's all the same right so you don't and another thing if you notice You don't you don't want every day to be totally different at least that's my opinion because again Whatever you're doing man. It's it's only it's only that so what I highly highly encourage you guys to do man Here's one one side note Go all in on what you're doing like stop trying to do five different businesses like crack one first right crack one first And and because you're going to need that energy you're going to need that time There's only so much time in a day So it's like if you're working on five different things it's like dude We're not there's only so many elan musk and full shit to tell you too There's only one elan musk where you can go out there and build a freaking rocket company You can go out there and build a car company you can go out there and build a freaking Put a chip in your head freaking company, right? There's only so many that's an anomaly elan musk is a freaking Anomaly where there's only one out of a freaking billion like that right most of us need to focus on one damn thing Right focus on one thing until it's successful and then you go and diversify right the whole diversification It's a myth do one thing master that one thing and then go out there and freaking do others right so in this case I'm focused on two things I'm focused on on building my building my my my my media business, which is digital courses and in my coaching and then also In the evening is when is when I'm working on is when I'm working on my real estate my real estate business, right? So so after 3 p.m 4 p.m. Is when I'm working out I'll either go on a on a walk with my wife and my kids and we'll get it in and which we'll try to make the best of it, right? Push-ups doing outside just going out there and getting some air man A lot of times is what's really necessary and and I and I knocked that out every day from 4 p.m To 5 p.m And then all the way to 9 p.m. So from 5 p.m to 9 p.m I'm a full-time dad man. Like I'm a full-time dad. I'm at home I'm and even that's what's going on in the in the morning as well So from from 6 a.m From from the moment I'm waking up with my little newborn. Um, well shit He ain't new he ain't too too new he's freaking one and a half now, but my little boy Waking up with him at 6 waking up with my daughter my wife, you know at 6 and then from 6 a.m To 9 a.m, right? My commute is freaking three seconds to the freaking home office here, right? So From 6 a.m to 9 a.m in between those those few hours. I'm be I'm a full-time dad I'm freaking feeding my kids breakfast, right with my wife. We're we're we're playing around in the beginning in the morning, right? We're we're Doing basic running not really not really outside running errands But but indoor like either cleaning house or whatever turn to knock some stuff out helping my wife in the in the morning With that and then after after after this workout from 5 p.m. To 9 p.m. I'm doing the same thing I'm running around my kids. We're playing freaking tag My little yeah, I have a 14 year old son and then I have two little ones my little daughter Which you guys see a lot in my profile picture She's three and then my little boy. He's he's one So from 5 p.m. To 9 p.m. I'm a freaking dad man. I'm freaking zoned out. I I turn off my phone I turn off my computer. I literally turn off my computer And I'm and I'm all in with with my with my family, right? Quality time with my wife quality time with my children And and that's going on from 5 p.m. To 9 p.m. And then once once we put them to bed Then daddy's back at work, right? I'll spend and and and this 9 p.m To 12 a.m. I have that down seven days. I have it down seven days, but every now and then you know I'll take I'll take an evening off every now and then And I'll and I'll spend time with my wife, right? We'll get our little quality time in In the evening when the kids are in bed But no we're not making no more kids man. Holy shit those freaking kids man So overrated holy crap you guys man get your money right before you go out there and start start popping out kids It's like shit man. That's a whole another responsibility. So it's like It takes two man. It takes it takes well at least you know, we we we try to hope you know that that both parents are Involved but many many of us right grew up, you know single parents and things of that nature But but I count my blessings every day. I'm freaking thankful I I thank god I'm blessed to to to have a wife to have an amazing wife and and to have my children And and be able to spend that quality time man because not all of us have that right How many of you guys grew up with with a single mom or or grew up with a single dad, right? Or maybe some of you guys that are watching this didn't grow up with any parents, right? So I I get that part man. I I I know that side of the of the story as well So For me to be able to work from home for me to be able to spend time with my with my family I I take that just as serious as I take my freaking business So it's really this you guys so Monday Tuesday. It's pretty much the same all the way down to Saturday Saturday, I I actually take time off. I I I'm up at 6 a.m. And and it's just full-time daddy I give my wife a little break, right? She'll she'll go out and and run errands and and and go You know go for a hike or go hang out with a girlfriend on Saturday and and Saturdays is is daddy daycare Where I'm just all in we're going to the playground We're having fun just me and my kids Um, and then and then and then I'll let my wife, you know, again, just just take a break because she she's on her grind as well man full-time mom Thank god that I'm able to support us and and she's able to stay at home and and raise our children Which is which is a blessing because again not all of us have it like that, right? I totally get it man. And so I don't take none of this for granted man. Um So Saturdays, I'm just all in full-time dad But when they get to bed, then I'm back on my grind and so again right now to the 28th to the end of February 2022 I'm I'm I'm getting to this this real estate exam Prep course and and that's back 9 p.m. To 12 a.m. So and then and then sunday sunday church family Going out All family right phone off Not even checking my phone not even checking email computer is off computer computer does not come back on until 9 p.m Right kids get to bed and and and on sundays is when I'll is when I'll focus on my youtube optimization Which I'll I'll I'll preset a lot of my videos that are that are set to go out I post videos here on youtube every monday and thursday at 8 a.m. Pacific So if you're new to the channel man, make sure you subscribe Smash the bell for notifications and drop me a comment below what I tended to put on this channel is really Documenting my day in the life of running facebook ads for clients Building sales funnels and landing pages for either my business or clients and just really Giving my two cents on my experience as an online entrepreneur and I've been an entrepreneur for 20 20 plus years. So That's what I'm doing from 9 p.m. To 12 v.m. Is is is setting up my youtube videos and then also Adding more emails to my email automation. So if you guys if you guys are again building anything online You're you're running traffic to a website and making cells or you're running traffic to some website to capture a lead As this lead comes in or even as the cell is made online What's so important on the back end is your email automation, right? The the the handful of emails that go out After the lead has entered your world, right? So as you guys go out there and click on different things as you opt in you put your name email And you you you register for a webinar or you download a free ebook or you freaking You buy something whatever you're doing online. You're entering someone's world, right? So on the back end what happens after you opt in typically you start receiving emails from that individual, right? That's email automation these emails need to be preset. So What I do is I allocate that time 9 p.m. To 12 v.m. To to again set all my youtube videos that are all being stacked Um optimize it get the tags get all that ready for youtube But then also add a lot of those youtube videos to my email sequence. So if you're on any of my list One one one huge list that's been successful is the one you see in the description Fb ads cheatsheet.com So if you're into fb ads, there's a free cheatsheet that I put together for you going over custom audiences and custom conversions Just the the simplicity of that Download your free copy as people download that for example There's a handful of emails that go out now. There could be five emails or could be 10 emails or could be 15 emails But what what what what you have to understand understand is that it started with no emails I had to add one email two email three email and so as I have some of these sequences These email automations these sequences set up They started with with with one email But now I have some sequences that are at freaking 57 emails, right? So you opt into my funnel You're going to be getting a damn email for shit the rest of your damn life, right? Because I have so many emails freaking stacked in a sequence for example But I had to allocate time to even do that right to even preset So if I have a sequence and there's five emails, okay on sunday 9 p.m I'm going to add email number six seven and eight Next sunday at 9 p.m. I'm going to add Eight nine and ten right or whatever number I'm on right. I'm going to keep adding I'm going to keep stacking emails on certain sequences that I have So so important you guys and so I dedicate my my sunday evenings Again, once the kids are in bed, I'll get back online and and that's what I'm doing In in that time period. So that's one thing you guys is the actual schedule and I'm again, man I'm a true believer that you don't need to be working unless unless you're trying to be Elon Musk If you're freaking trying to be Elon Musk, then you're asked better be working 20 hours a day Because there's so much important shit that needs to go on But I truly believe most of us are not like that. Like you ain't that important bro. Like you're Come on. What are we doing selling shit online? Like come on. Like it's not that Life-changing. Well, I guess it is right. We are we are changing lives with hopefully you guys are hopefully all are Changing lives with our products and services, but you know what I mean We're not freaking developing chips for brains and shit, you know, I mean or or or or manufacturing freaking elect manufacturing electric cars Right. So it's like if we're not doing that, it's like dude, you don't need to be working 15 hours a day condense it Focus in and spend time also with your family. Don't let don't don't take advantage Don't freaking don't don't don't ruin that man because I've been there and done that as well You guys again, if you caught my last video, I'm talking about cycling I've already cycled a couple of times meaning been at the top and then boom hit the bottom Right been at the top again and then boom hit the bottom, right? That's called cycling. Um And so when you're working your ass off and you're freaking and you're and you're and you're um you're um, what's the word I'm looking for your um You're you're you're you're neglecting your family time Especially if you're a parent, right? Some of you guys aren't even parents. You're like David. It's just freaking me and my dog Okay, well then shit work freaking 37 hours a day if that's the case, but again, I guarantee you half that time you're bullshitting so so so What I'm saying is the fact that if you were to condense your time again My time is condensed to six hours nine a.m To three p.m In those six hours I get so much done and then I go and focus on my family because again, man that to me In my opinion my humble opinion That's the most important man without my wife without my kids without my family I ain't nothing none of this stuff matters man if it wasn't for them So I have to take care of them too and it's not just financially. It's quality time, right? So This is my schedule. You guys as a full-time entrepreneur And as a full-time dad, right? Because I I definitely get it in As well with with my kids and and my wife. So that's the schedule That's the schedule. I'm gonna link it right in the description So you guys can kind of just get it model it, you know change it and and really stick to it man Having everything down on paper having it on the wall, right? That's one thing But one thing you have to do man is freaking stick with it stick with it, right? And and and again you can go on blitz like in this case with certain activities on this daily schedule It's really just a blitz, right? I'm gonna try to get this all done by the 28th of this month, for example And then and then this evening hour will change out. Um And so Structured how you wish you guys based on on your life based on on on your family's life And I truly believe it will really help you Be more productive bottom line. Okay. So so there's my schedule The other thing you guys is my expenses, right? I literally try to keep my expenses so freaking low like I'm not super flashy again Cycled already a couple times Been there done that had the freaking mill in our home had the freaking expensive ass cars bought my first wife a freaking 30,000 30 thousand dollar freaking wedding ring like I've been there man. I've been there done that It's like I'm not into the flashy shit anymore, right? So I try to keep my expenses so freaking low man And so this is how I kind of have it structured where My these are the majority of my expenses, right? And these are typical expenses right car insurance life insurance my my car to account my freaking child support My my my cell phone my utility bill Video editing SEO thumbnails and then and then click funnels. These are my basic expenses And then I got and then I got food um And and and and and and even I don't have a car payment But really just what's not on here is food because it comes from another income source Which I'll I'll show you and then gas for the car. That's on another that's on another Right right below, which I'll show you but but I want to keep the focus right here for for right now These expenses these are these are the majority of my expenses, right? And so these expenses Equal a thousand bucks which ain't shit some of you guys are like damn dude. Is that it? Yeah, that's it. And then some of you guys are like damn David. You got a lot of expenses I mean, it's kind of whatever it's what it's it's it's it's what's the word I'm looking for it's freaking um it's um I forgot the word I'm looking for but whatever whether that's a lot to your little whatever that's what it is a thousand So what I do and what I what I what I what I really aim for and and I've already surpassed it But I try to get little certain income streams to pay for certain expenses. So in this case my affiliate commission on Cartra alone, right? So if you've been following me on my channel, I'm an affiliate with cartra That's the link in the description profit with cartra dot online. That's for landing pages sales funnels email automation your online calendar I've been using and promoting cartra for the last few years, right? And that monthly reoccurring income because I'm an affiliate, right? That monthly income that I see Is way past this is way past a thousand a month, but Again, it's the thousand that is my total expense So what I use to pay for that is my cartra income, which is the affiliate and then my youtube income Which comes from these ads that run on my youtube videos, right google adsense That income that monthly income Is what it's it's way more than this But what I'm trying to say is that's what covers the thousand a month. That's what covers this, right? The thousand the thousand seventy are those two those two income sources my cartra affiliate income alone and my youtube AdSense income alone cover all of these expenses, right now down here This is my actual rent. So yes, man. My rent is freaking 2,700 or 2,800 shit I'm in san diego. I'm in california. Shit is so overpriced here. It's not even funny I have a I have an apartment. I have a nice apartment, right? You guys just see this part But I have a pretty damn nice. It's not the best. It's not the most luxurious at all But it's not it's not. I mean, I'm not in the hood. I used to I mean shit I'll keep it real. I grew up in the hood. This is not the hood Little outside of the hood, but it's somewhat of a nice apartment. And yeah, that's the freaking rent is 27 93 So with that what I what I what I depend on is my direct messaging my core cells And this little monthly client which the monthly client I don't I don't do monthly clients anymore, but shout out to so beard. They're they're my one Little monthly client that I'm actually scaling right now So we're we're going to be growing together and I'm going to be taking that whole brand to another level But that's my only monthly client. I don't take on monthly clients. I'm more into core cells Um and affiliate marketing. That's where that's where I'm really really at But it's really these three. So direct message core cells And and my monthly client that cover this 27 93 right now again this right here It's way it's surpassed that amount, but that's what I I depend on to cover the rent So when you cover when you when you when you add the 1070 to the 27 93 My total expenses Is 38 63 So it's those sources of income that cover that and so with the direct message with the weekly with the with with the direct message I know exactly the price point. I know exactly the percentage that my credit card processing company takes I know exactly what the net is so if i'm charging a thousand dollars for coaching or a course I know exactly the net of what's going to land in my bank account And I know exactly how many are needed in order to contribute to this rent Right, so if I just had let's just say two and we're way past this But i'm giving you bottom line Minimum numbers that offset or not offset, but that cover that expense So in a given 30 day period, for example, I just need two of these core cells to To equal the 1942 And that goes towards the 27 93 Right, so I hope that makes sense and then direct message direct message I simply charge anywhere from 150 to 300 to run a simple ad for a client Right, that's my direct message where i'm just running a simple ad It's my it's it's the first step in my value ladder to getting them to a coaching client to to eventually become a coaching client I start them off super super low 150 300 to run a simple ad and then and then I eventually Upsell them to coaching which is which is typically a thousand now that that number is going to be way way higher Here in the near future But again It may not be to tell you it should because i'm not into high ticket coaching. I'm not really going that route um I'm going the the course the course route where where i'm cool selling a night a 997 product because again might I have a whole different business model and in a whole different plan So it's not really necessarily For high ticket selling so I don't need to be charging five grand for coaching That's not really the model that i'm that i'm going after um But back to here these this simple direct message right This simple direct message again I know the exact percentage after the credit card processing fee After I put a little aside for the actual ad I know exactly how much is hitting my bank account right and then what I do with that is i'll go pay my visa What I do with that is i'll pay for some ads What I do with that is i'll put it in in in gas for the car right so this direct message income alone pays for Let's just call it visa and and ads this little direct message So it's one income one income stream. That's covering You know these expenses my visa for example and and ads right um and then and then course sells I have a 97 dollar course and then I have a 997 course So within a 30 day period as long as I hit 10 cells on this 97 that 9970 So we add the 970 to the 1942 then boom Rents covered Or down here 997 on the course I sell three of them in a 30 day period. That's 2600 That's going towards the rent right and then my little monthly client over here that i'm that we're scaling up right now Pretty soon i'll be at you know 13 grand a month with them my one client, which I I you know shout out to so beard I really care for them and we're going to be growing I'm really excited to to grow with them But this little 350 Just to run a couple ads for them that I apply that To my rent as well. So again direct message Course sells and that mc the monthly client that all the 1942 The 970 the 2600 the 350 is way over 2793 but that's what I use to cover that rent expense That's it you guys So knowing exactly your expenses knowing exactly how many cells you need depend no matter what the hell you're doing right It's so so important. It'll keep you allow you to stay focused. It'll keep you on track It'll it'll keep you holding yourself accountable. You got to hit these numbers or we don't freaking eat type of thing, right?
