 Good morning, everybody. JR Fisher here. It is a beautiful, cloudy, cool, Wednesday, April 21st, 2021. Now, I know I'm gonna compare weather with James here at some point, so let me get this going. We're gonna, it's 55 here today. Not too bad. We're gonna have a highest 61, not horrible, not horrible. But hey, we're gonna have a great session today because I'm gonna go over some things today. He says, loud and clear, sunny and savanna. Ah, you got me beat, it's 78. But, but, what is it in Georgetown, Texas, which is where we're moving to? Georgetown is not so much better. It's 49 with a high of 65. Okay, well, we'll worry about that later. We're gonna have a great session today, guys. I'm gonna talk about success, but more importantly, I'm gonna talk about the 10 things that prevent you from being successful. And seriously, at the end of this session today, this live session, you're gonna have a game plan. You're gonna know what to do. And I would suggest you just jot them down somewhere. You know, you can put them on a little piece of paper, some long nose lines. But man, write these down. I swear these things, these have really changed me into who I am and what I do every day. And I think they can really help you out too. So, you know, please, please, please write these things down. Implement them in your life. You're gonna see great success. Yeah, we always have a great session. Great, good, good, I'm glad we do. And I think so too, I really do. And guys, I do these sessions every morning to help you start running, grow online businesses. Today's a little different because I'm talking about more internal things and not things you can actually physically do. They're internal things. They're things in your brain. But if you get these things straightened out, they'll help you make money on the outside, which is super important. Now that doesn't mean you can't ask questions. So if you've got any questions about starting running and growing an online business, put it in that chat section there. I'll be happy to address those. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't done so. There's a big subscribe button down there. Normally it's red for those of you who haven't subscribed. But if you subscribe, it will turn gray. So once you do that, you wanna ring the bell, turn on all bell notifications so you're notified every single time I go live, every single time I upload a video, you'll know about it. You don't have to waste your time looking for stuff because I'll just tap you on the shoulder and let you know. Also, and James has already done it, the rest of you, hit that like button down there, man. That is so helpful when you guys do that. When you hit that like button, it helps this video get more distribution. If you're not watching live, I get it. All those things still apply with the exception of the chat box. Put all your comments in the comments section and I will swing back by and check those out and try to help you out with any comments you may have, questions, whatever. Maybe you just wanna tell me about some successes. I like that. But let's jump right into this list, guys. There's only 10 things that I swear to you. If you work on these 10 things, oh my gosh, it will make just a world of difference in your life. The number one thing, number one thing, here it is, guys, procrastination. When you procrastinate, you put things off. Now, here's what I've heard people say. They say, I'm just a perfectionist, JR. I wanna get everything just right. And that's what I am, I'm a perfectionist. There is no such thing as a perfectionist. A perfectionist does not exist. Here's why, because you're not perfect. You'll never be perfect. Perfectionism is something you try to do so that you can put something off. That's really all it is. Now, I'm not saying don't do your best. I mean, you should do your best. However, perfectionism, really, you're a perfectionist. I don't think so. I don't think, I've never met anybody perfect in my life. So I think you do the best you can and you put it out there. Anything short of that is procrastination. And when you put it off for another day and another day and another day, it's funny how stuff never gets done. It just never gets done. Number two, negative friends and family and you listening to them. Negative friends and family and you listening to them. Now, we all have our circle of friend and it's been said that your circle of your five closest people will be what your net income is. In other words, you took the average of those five people. Whatever their net income is will be your net income. Now, who do you hang out with? You can choose who you wanna hang out with. You can choose that on a daily basis, okay? If you've got some negative friends around you, no matter how nice they are, no matter how wonderful they are, if they're bringing you down and you know if they are. You know if after you talk to these people, you feel beaten down, you feel exhausted, you feel worn out. You need to just get them out of your life. And now I've heard some people say, hey, this person became successful and they left all their friends behind. No, they didn't. Their friends decided not to take the journey with them. That's what really happened. You know, if I'm working really hard and I've got a friend who's not doing anything and they're laying around and they're going to happy hour and they're hanging out on the weekends and just watching the big game on TV, I don't wanna be around them. I just don't, okay? Now you say, well, JR, how am I gonna handle family? You can't just not spend time with family. Oh yes, you can. And I hate to say, you know, I have a family member that is really negative and politically just by, just polar opposite of me. And I don't spend much time with that person. I don't talk to that person very often. Am I polite? Yeah. Is it still a relative? Yeah. But I just don't wanna spend time with somebody negative. It's just, it's too exhausting for me. And some people say, well, that's terrible. You know, you gotta spend time with your loved ones. Not if they bring you down, you don't. You don't. You see, these things in our brains where we say, we gotta do this, we gotta do this. No, you don't, you don't have to do anything. Some people will say, well, you gotta die and pay taxes. I'll agree with the die thing. You gotta die. Everybody's gonna die. Nobody has ever gotten out of that. You don't have to pay taxes, okay? If you don't wanna pay taxes, don't pay them. You're just gonna end up in jail with a boyfriend named Bubba, okay? So it's something you wanna do. And that's the thing that the mind shift is saying, hey, I gotta realize that everything I'm doing, I wanna do. And you may come up with all these million reasons. Like, I don't wanna wash the dishes. Yes, you do. You do wanna wash the dishes because it'll pile up and it'll start to stink and rot. And you don't want that, right? So you must wanna wash the dishes. You need to realize every single thing you do every single day is a choice that you've made to do it. Okay, you have made that choice, okay? So, you know, being around negative friends and family, it just wears you down. All right, we've got some comments here. I love it, I love it. I noticed a subscriber list has grown. Yes, we are almost at 5,000 James, which is really good. Our daily watch time is way up. My revenue is up, which is nice too. The engagement is up. We're getting tons of comments now. You guys are really on the cutting edge. You know, if you're watching this channel, you get to see it grow from where it was to where it is now and a lot further. And I really appreciate it. I mean, literally, I don't have a channel without you. And I appreciate you saying that, James, because it let me stop and thank you guys. You know, the fact that you show up, the fact that you listen to my videos, the fact that you comment, like I had somebody comment the other day and they were saying how terrible the music was on one of the videos that it was way too loud. And you know what, I didn't get mad. I appreciated that. I said, you know what, you're right. I listened to that video and it was an older one. And we've actually since changed that because I had some of those comments before. But I mean, if you have a correction comment you want to give me, I'm listening to you because I have to please you. It's my job to serve you, okay? I'm not in charge. You guys are in charge. And when you realize that you can make this channel what you want, you can say, hey, JR, I want to work on this or I want to work on that. I want to learn how to do this. And that's the direction I'm going to go because I'm here to help you. I'm here to serve you. And man, I really appreciate each and every one of you. What else we got down here. Some people need to be treated like radioactive waste, time, distance and shielding. 100% Paul. I mean, it's a shame, but it's the way it is. I mean, if you want to move forward, I promise you Elon Musk does not have a bunch of negative people hanging out with him telling him why he can't do things. He didn't listen to that. I mean, he didn't listen to the media saying he can't do things. He doesn't listen to the car manufacturers. He doesn't listen to people saying, well, you're not a rocket science. You can't build rockets. He doesn't listen to any of that. Okay, he only moves forward. And that's the mindset you gotta have. And he's not special. He just has a different mindset than a lot of people do. He has a belief he can do anything. Why not you is the question. Also learning to say no to other people's stuff. 100%. Yeah, I get a lot of requests to do stuff for people. You know, I had a request. I get this request all the time. You guys have no idea. Once you've done something online, made a little bit of money, people will say, hey, look, I want to start this business and I want you to get it going for me and work it out and get all the pages set up and emails and all that. And I'll give you 20% of my business. And I'm like, why would I do that? Why wouldn't I just do it for myself and keep 100%? Wouldn't that make more sense? But people do that. Or they'll say, I'll give you 50%. I'll make you half owner of the business. Just get it going for me. And then once you get it going and I'll run it. Well, no, you can't run it because you don't want to do. So I don't need a partner that doesn't know how to do anything. Matter of fact, I don't need a partner. I don't like partners. I like to just run my business. We're buying this house in Texas. I'm gonna get back to my listeners' second. But the one thing they wanted to know is that you're 100% owner of your business and you have to have that verified by a certified accountant. And man, I was proud to say, yeah, I am. I am 100% owner of all my businesses. All right, we're gonna go to number three now. Number three. Number three is lack of belief. If you have lack of belief. Okay, did you guys ever watch the movie The Secret? It's all about belief. It's all about belief. It's a really, really good movie. If you haven't seen it yet, check out The Secret. But you can't start doubting your goals. You can't doubt your goals. You gotta say, yeah, they're possible. And you know, I mean, I'd say for the average person, you can pick a goal and the way you can say it's possible is that somebody else has already accomplished it. And that's the easiest way to be super successful. Just look around and say, well, that person's making money. They're no different than me. That person sells stuff. They're no different than me. That person got in shape. They're no different from me. Now, if you take a really high level achiever like Elon Musk, he doesn't even have an example, right? He's got like nobody who's done what he's done before. It doesn't exist out there. So he's got such a high level of belief. He says, I believe I can do things that nobody's ever done before. That's a really high level of belief. I'm not asking you to do that. I mean, that's unbelievable that you can do that. But he can. So, you know, along the way, you should be grateful for your achievements and believe that you can do all these things, okay? Number four, what is number four? It's lack of motivation. Now, motivation is not what you think it is. I used to think motivation was feeling like you wanted to do something. And that's not where motivation comes from. Motivation comes from success. What? Yeah, success has to happen before you have motivation. And in order to have success, you have to apply effort. That's how it works. I remember when I started my survival food company, I wanted other people to sell my products. I started calling websites and emailing them all that. And every one of them, without doubt, said no to me because nobody had ever heard of me before. They didn't know who I was. They didn't know what my product was. They didn't know anything. And what happened after a while was I finally got somebody who said, yes, I'm gonna put it up on my website. And that was so motivational to me. They were like, I'm gonna build a website and I'm gonna put your products on it. I was like, wow, I'm so excited. It was this guy in New York City, older gentleman, and he was building a survival website. And that motivated me like you can't believe him. Like, look, I got somebody. If I got somebody, that means I can get more. And I was more determined. I was making 200 phone calls a day. I was more determined to get more people to sell my product because of that one guy. He motivated me because I had a little bit of success. So the truth is a little success is motivation. And the way you're gonna get success is you're going to put forth effort when you don't feel like it. That's what you've gotta do. Now here's the funny story. I grew my company because of that one guy and I got more and more people who put my products on their sites and sold it. But that one guy, that one guy that motivated me, he never built the site. He never put his products, or my products on a site like he said, he never did anything. But the fact that I thought I was successful by getting somebody made me more motivated to keep trying and getting more and more sites to sell my products. Now if you Google survival cave food, I mean, Google it, you'll see it. Probably 20 to 30 million results for survival cave food. Pretty good, pretty good, all right. The next thing, okay, so that was motivation. There's a motivation comes from, don't believe that it means that you gotta feel good and wanna do stuff every day. That's not motivation. Success is motivation and success comes from effort and constantly trying until you find some success and then you'll be motivated to move on. That's how that works. Number five, thinking failure is final. Oh my God, if I thought that, I would have been done within days, okay? But failure is something all success stories have to deal with at some point. I deal with it every day. I have things that fail all the time. Right now I'm getting ready to do a promotion for my canned meats because we're moving from San Diego to Austin, Texas. I keep saying Austin because people know that they don't know Georgetown. And when doing that I have to change the labels, change the label address. So I'm doing a big promotion, hey you can buy the cans with the old address on them and you can save a ton of money. Now I have done a VSL video, I've done sales pages, I've built 12 different products. I had to intertwine all that stuff so when you click it leads to the next thing. I had to do several different thank you pages. I have to build the email sequence that goes out to people and then when people click I have to have another email sequence. So I'm gonna build all this stuff. I have no idea if I'm gonna make any money. Now I honestly think I am. However, I don't know. It's all just work I'm gonna put out there hoping to get money back. That's how online success works. You gotta put in the work and then you hope to get the success back. There's no guarantees. I have a lot of people say well just tell me the things I need to do and I'll go do it. That way I don't have to fail. You're gonna have some failure. You're just gonna, it's the way it is. Let's see here, what else we got? Also learning to say, oh yeah, it's okay. So that's the same comment I had down there. So anyhow, that is a failure. You're gonna have it, okay? Success is not final. Failure is not final, okay? And it is the courage to continue the counts. And by the way, that was Winston Churchill. I didn't come up with a good thing right there. Let me say it one more time. Success is not final. Failure is not final. It is the courage to continue the counts and that's Winston Churchill. Number six, you might not be able to make money on your hobby. You might not be able to make money on your hobby. Everybody thinks oh my gosh, if I just do something I love, then I'll be wealthy. That's not the case. I had a lot of different things I like to do but I couldn't figure out a way to make money off them. So I got into survival food. Survival food's not my hobby. I'm not a survivalist. That's not what I do every day. I'm not all into that. However, I figured out a product that the community needed. As a matter of fact, at the time, I was on an ambulance and I did my volunteer work as an EMT and we were on the East Coast so I saw a lot of hurricanes and storms and I would go in there to help people and see they had no food and water and they weren't prepared. And I thought, wow, survival food may be a good thing. And I got contacted Synergy by a company that had some and I started selling it and kind of grew out of that. Now I have my own brand. But hobbies don't always equate to success. So don't think, hey, I tried my hobby and I didn't make any money. So making money online doesn't work. No, that's not logical thinking. Making money online does work because I'm making it. And there's millions of other people making it. If you're not making money online, you're doing something wrong, okay? And that's okay. I did things wrong. But understand it's not the process. It's not the thing that's wrong. It's what you're doing. It's what you're doing. And this is not a message that's popular, okay? You know, there's a lot of these fake guru guys will tell you, oh, you gotta do is listen to me and buy my program and you're gonna be wealthy and it's really easy. No, it's not. It's not easy. It's hard work. Can you make millions of dollars? Yes, I've done it, okay? But the point is you gotta work hard. It's not simple. Well, excuse me, it is simple. The process is simple, but it's not easy to do. It's hard work. That was number six, by the way, if you're keeping track. Number seven is not willing to settle. Not willing to settle, okay? Successful people, right? Set goals and refuse to settle for anything else shy of that. Let me kill my phone here. It is going off as I'm talking to you guys. But just don't quit, man. Don't quit. This is the don't quit thing. You don't settle for anything. You know, if you think about what would the world be if the best athletes and musicians and entrepreneurs were willing to settle for less, we wouldn't have much, okay? You know, what would happen if an NFL team, and I don't follow sports at all, were willing to settle for conference championships instead of the Super Bowl? They were like, oh, that's good enough, that's good enough. Never settle. You know, some people have accused me of pushing too hard. How hard should you push? How hard should you push, okay? If you don't like pushing hard, you probably don't like being successful because successful people always want to push hard. They just do. Now, I'll give you a little example of what I did to myself yesterday. As a matter of fact, we did a really hard workout yesterday in my life, and we liked this one fitness coach that's on YouTube, and we did our workout, and it was hard. I mean, we were worn out. And then after that, we went and took our dog for a walk, which was, you know, up and down some hills and stuff, got some more exercise. But when I got back, I noticed something. On my watch, I hadn't set to how many calories a day I need to burn, and I was still shy of that amount. So I got on my bike, and I did my third workout for the day because I had to hit my calories. I didn't wanna settle for less. Don't settle for less. Don't say, hey, you know, I've got 600 of my 700 calories. That's pretty close. No, it's not. It's not what you said you're gonna do. Don't settle for anything less. Number eight, lack of persistence. Lack of persistence. That's a huge thing. Let me check one of my comments. I got down here. Success is a numbers game. Boy, isn't it? Don't you remember dating, Paul? That's a real numbers game. You just gotta keep asking. Gotta keep asking. Gotta keep pushing the needle forward. By the way, I love your determination and persistence. Like you said, it would be hard to outwork you. It would be. I'm not saying you're better than me. You wouldn't make more money than me. But if you just calculated how much effort I put in, that's a tough one to beat. And that's probably 90% of why I do well, is I educate myself. Like I do do that, but I really work hard. I mean, I really, really do work hard. I think that's important. Loving everything I'm learning here, never settle and then have no regrets. Ooh, regret. I don't wanna get into that. That's a painful thing, man. When you're at the end and you know you don't have any more time and you look at all the things you could have, should have and would have done, but you just didn't, ooh, regrets awful. That's an awful stuff, man. That is a tough pill to swallow. But lack of persistence. Let's talk about number eight. Sometimes it takes numerous tries to get something right. If you're lucky to make it in five or six tries and it works out, that's great. But if you're not so lucky, it may take you 200 or 500 different tries to make something work. I know I made hundreds and hundreds. I think I made 10,000 phone calls to build up my survival cave food business. And I still work on it, but I'm just saying it took a lot. How many people are gonna make 10,000 calls? How many people are gonna send out that many emails? Don't give up. Okay, if you've got goals in mind, you've got to persevere constantly. It's important for you to stay persistent to really figure things out. And the thing is when you keep going forward and persisting, you're gonna uncover stuff that you wouldn't. I uncover stuff all the time. I'm like, wow, I never knew that worked. I never knew this work. Hey, maybe this is a better way of doing this. So important that you do that. But if you don't persist, you won't find these things. They'll never be uncovered. Number nine, lack of education. Lack of education. This is a big one, okay? You know, a degree from a college means nothing. I got one from Old Dominion University. Really pretty, I think it's in a closet somewhere. And not that that doesn't have value. It does because if nothing else it showed that I had persistence. I could get through getting a college degree, okay? But learning in self-education, that's the cool stuff. That's the stuff that's gonna make you a better person. When you get out of school and you continue to educate yourself in a language, in a process, in something, that self-education is so very important, guys. The greatest masterminds in the world spend time learning something new about their craft every single day. I know I do, I'm always looking for something new. Which really help them become the masters of that particular craft. Don't think that some fancy degree you got or high school or whatever it is is your final stop for education, it's not. It's the beginning, that's just gets you out into the world, that's all that does. Continuing to learn and educate yourself is what's gonna make you super successful. And we're down to number 10, you're always enthusiastic and then it's contagious. Well, I am, I'm excited about this stuff. How fortunate am I to be able to talk to you guys and share ideas with you and make a living. Just sitting here, make a living. That is amazing. If it wasn't for the internet, that couldn't happen. I mean, I couldn't have done this 20 years ago. It wouldn't have happened, right? Was the internet around 20 years ago? I don't know. Not enough to worry you'd make any money at it, I guess. So the next thing, this is the big one. This is the super, super, super big one. Are you ready? Number 10, not understanding the value of time. Not understanding the value of time. Time is so very important. And I think I told this story the other day, but I'll share it with you again. Every second of the day, think about what you're doing and is it valuable? Now, I'm not saying to you, you need to work 24 hours a day. I'm not saying that at all. Sometimes I will go out to lunch with my wife and we'll sit there and we'll have a really nice lunch and we talk about our lives and you know what, that's enjoyable. And that's valuable, that has value, okay? But I rarely just waste time doing something that doesn't bring me happiness, okay? That doesn't bring me money, that doesn't bring me some type of gain. You know, I really do that because I know the value of time. Now I'm gonna give you a stupid example, but this really, I think it's a really good one. I think about what I say to you guys and then I try to put it into practice. So in the morning, I'll make some tea right here. Let me get a sip of this tea. And I go into the kitchen and I put the amount of water I want in this cup here, right? And I've got one of those teapots and I put the water in the teapot and I flip the switch on and I wait for it to get hot. Here's the operative thing. I wait for it to get hot. But what could I be doing? Now, one morning, some time ago when I was waiting for my hot water to get hot, I realized I was wasting time. I could be doing something. So I looked around the kitchen, I scanned it and I realized something. Every night before we go to bed, we make sure all the dishes are washed, they're all put in the drying rack. And I told myself, well, why don't you go put away the dishes while the water's starting to get hot? Why don't you achieve something instead of just standing there waiting for water to boil? I mean, that was comical, right? So now every day when I do this, I do this, right? I get those dishes put away. Now, if I don't put those dishes away, what happens? Will they sit there? Do they eventually have to be put away? Yes, because both of us are not gonna leave dishes out. We're gonna put them away. But that takes time out of another part of my day. That takes time out of another part of my day. So maybe I'm writing emails and I gotta get up and go put the dishes away. Or she's gotta get up and put the dishes away. Either one of us, somebody has to. And if I make use of that time when I wasn't doing anything other than waiting for water to boil to put the dishes away, that's one less thing I've gotta do in a day and I can invest that time in something else. It doesn't have to be work. It could be, it could be us just going for a walk together. It could be us just discussing the day. It could be anything. But the thing is, I understand the value of time. I understand that. Now, I'm gonna give you a little bonus here on top of all this stuff. Stop stressing out. Stop stressing out. Start having fun, okay? It's not a grind. And people will say, well, I grind all the time. It's not a grind. It's not a grind, okay? It should be enjoyable. At the end of the day, success is nothing, okay? If you aren't having fun, if you aren't enjoying your life, you only got this one life. Really, I don't care what anybody says. I think you just got one of them. It's okay to have stressful moments in your life to succeed, but you shouldn't be stressed out all the time. You shouldn't be guys. You should be happy. And that's what's gonna build your enthusiasm. Whatever your craft may be, make sure it is something that you're passionate about and that you enjoy doing, no matter what it is. Having fun is crucial to success. I watched Elon Musk and I gotta tell you when I see interviews with him, he looks like he's having a blast. He looks like he's really enjoying himself. And I keep mentioning him because he's one of the most successful people in the world. They go back and forth, but he was the richest guy in the world, him and Jeff Bezos. Jeff Bezos doesn't look like he's having fun to me. I don't care. He just doesn't look like he's having fun. He's not really contributing to the world. All he's doing is selling products, okay? Not that there's anything wrong with that because that's what I do. But if you don't love what you're doing, if you don't enjoy it, you're probably not gonna be very good at it. You can try to love something, but you know, that's like a girlfriend or boyfriend. You can try, but it probably won't happen unless you really do. Find the fun in which you wanna do. Now, as I said earlier, success is not easy, okay? It's simple, but it's not easy. However, success can be achieved and if you overcome these 10 things I told you about today, you can greatly attribute your success to these 10 things. I'm telling you, these 10 things matter. I would venture to say it would be almost impossible to ignore these 10 things and still be successful. I would almost say that. I would say it would be such an uphill battle. If you didn't ignore these 10 things, or if you did ignore these 10 things and try to be successful, it would be so difficult, guys. So that's what I've got for today. Let me read some of your comments here. Constant and never-ending improvement. Yeah, and it's not like it's hard, it's kind of fun. It's like, how can I improve that? What can I do there? I think it's a big difference. I think people fall into two camps, those that don't know what they want and those that have so many ideas that they need to pick one and go balls to the wall. Learn that here. Yeah, I mean, we all got tons of ideas. And you know what? It's so funny. I have a lot of people come up to me and go, man, I got this great idea. What do you think? I wanna do this, this, this, this. What do you think? I said, I think you'll try it. I don't know. How do I know if it's gonna work? I have no idea. Because I made some money online, doesn't mean I know if your idea is gonna work or not. I don't know. I mean, if it's a really stupid idea, maybe I'll be able to tell you, but outside of that, you just gotta try stuff. And people say, why don't we try until I'm sure it's gonna work? Well, then you're never gonna be successful. You just gotta keep trying stuff. And you'll figure out what works after a while. You'll figure out certain patterns and plans and you'll get some ideas about the market, but you're never gonna know 100% until you do stuff. So that's the big takeaway, right? Let's see here. I've learned so much about developing good habits and planning here. Thanks, brother. Well, I'm so glad you did. I really am. I mean, it means a lot to me. You know, how are we doing on time? Oh my gosh. It looks like, it looks like, we are about at the end of the session here. It's almost at 30 minutes. If you guys have any questions, comments, suggestions, please put them in that chat section. And like I say, I'm not listening live to this. It's already recorded. Put it in the comment section. I do come back and answer those. I've got a ton to answer today. So I'm gonna get in there and start answering some of you guys because you've asked some really good questions and I'll be in that comment section today. So today would be a great day for you to put comments in because I'll be there. Don't search for happiness. You won't find it. Happiness is a byproduct of doing what you should be doing when you should be doing it. That's true. And another thing, James. Happiness is a decision. It's a decision, okay? It's not something that's just gonna overwhelm you. I mean, like, yeah, if you've got the winning lottery ticket and you look down and you go, oh, I just won the lottery, you're gonna be happy for a minute, a minute, but, you know, and I can't say from experience because I've never won the lottery and I will never win the lottery because I don't waste my money because I know math and I understand it doesn't work. I understand math. The lottery is a tax for people who don't get math. Okay, that's what the lottery is. But the point is I decide to be happy. I look around and I say, hey, it's not what I don't have. It's what I do have. I, you know, I've got this, you know, beautiful life and making money and I've got some health right now. And yeah, I've had ups and downs and problems and all that stuff, but how fortunate? How fortunate are we just to be alive? When you woke up today, how fortunate are you when some people did not wake up? Some people don't have today. So you can bitch and moan about today and say, oh my gosh, the weather sucks today and it's gonna be too cool outside. I don't feel that great, but you do feel, don't you? And if you feel right, you're pretty lucky. So I think that's pretty cool. Thanks again, JR, peace and blessings always, everyone. I appreciate that so much, James. You still didn't tell me where you were yesterday. Were you out with some hot young chick? Were you there? I wanted to have one. You're quoting Abe Lincoln. Am I quoting him? I don't know. Maybe I am, I don't know. Maybe it's something I heard. Okay. I think everybody basically improves on something that was already there. There is nothing new anymore. There's nothing new. You can say, well, no, this iPad's new. Now it was built on the previous iPad, which was built on the previous TV, which was built on the previous, it's just improvements of stuff. Everything's just an improvement. There's nothing new, nothing new anymore. Progress, not perfection, 100%. Just move forward. Even if you're moving in the wrong direction, I would rather see you move forward because if you're moving in the wrong direction very soon you'll figure it out and you'll turn around. So even if you're moving in the wrong direction, at least you're moving. If you're sitting still, nothing will ever happen. Nothing good will ever happen. That's for sure, sitting still. So that's what I got for you today, guys. Don't forget to subscribe. I really love it when you guys subscribe. It really helps. I'm really close. Let me see how close I am to getting, 5,000 is fame bit. In other words, they offer you endorsements for your channel. So I really would like to get that. Let me see how far away I am on subscriptions and how many I need. And you guys could really help me by actually telling people about this channel and letting them know about this channel because I just need some more subscriptions here and I'm gonna be there and I'm trying to, where the heck is it? How many subscribers? I can't even find enough. I think I was like at 4,800 and something yesterday. Oh yeah, 4,816. I'm at 4,816 and I don't know if you can see that. But you probably can't, it's too small. So all you need, what is that, 184. 184 subscribers and I'll be at that 5,000. So that's cool. Biggest lesson I leveraged was to take action and revise later. 100%, 100% brother, that is true. Thank you so much guys for being here. I wanna switch over to my other screen so I can actually see because I've been looking at my notes here. Yes, I have notes. Yes, I actually prepare. I don't just wing it. I try not to just wing it. Sometimes I just wing it, that happens. Yesterday was one of those days when the plan made my higher power and I had other plans for me. Hey James, I appreciate the days you are here. I'm just messing with you. I really appreciate every day you are here and if you can't be here, hey, enjoy your day, enjoy yourself and we look forward to seeing you come back. Thank you so much for being here guys. I really appreciate it. You guys have an awesome day. Take advantage.
