Feel free to ask me anything you want to know and if I know it I'll answer it. I may not know it then I can't answer it But if I if I do know it, I will answer it and if it has to do with making money online I've probably had some experience doing it. I didn't tell you guys I was starting a promotion Thank You Richard. He says I'm loud and clear. I appreciate you doing that and anybody else out there, you know Put your comments in that chat section. I Did start a promotion yesterday and it was funny because I ran the promotion and I got zero sales And I was like wait a second I sent this out to like 15,000 people as a test and I got zero sales and I went into cartridge I was searching everywhere and the people were in the sequence But the emails weren't going out and I had set the sequence to pause So anyhow as soon as I unpaused it it went out and within like five minutes money started coming in So it was really nice, but it was kind of freakish, right? You know, I spent like three weeks building this thing that I set out a zero sales But it was because my own fault I made a mistake So little things like that can trip you up And in running an online business, you know, there's so many little things that can trip you up guys It is crazy, you know, and every business is like I Guess Whatever the market wants at the moment, you know, those businesses have to kind of lean in towards that I know I'm closing on my house in Texas and I have to have an appraisal I think it's like five hundred and seventy five dollars something like that But they're the demand for appraisals at homes in Austin are so great right now That the appraisers are coming back saying hey, yeah, if you give me another five hundred dollars or six hundred dollars I'll do the appraisal that way. I had one came in yesterday and the guy says y'all I'll do it by the ninth But I want nine hundred instead of five hundred seventy five So I guess they're taking advantage of that situation James Breen. He says it's gonna be 80 and rain who raw I love a rainy day. He loves rainy days. Let's see what we got going here James In San Diego San Diego, we're gonna have 79 you beat me by a degree But it's gonna be mostly cloudy and 79 not bad. That's not bad. I don't mind some clouds every now You know what? We don't mind anything. We're alive and well. We're above ground. Okay, so we yes We don't want to say we have mind anything, you know a cold shivering day Above ground is better than any day of below ground. So I guess that's true But I want to get into these Goal thing guys and I think you know goals is such a big thing. It's really driven my life And everything that I've got Because of goals You know when you know what you're working towards it's a whole lot easier to keep working towards it when you're just working You're just doing stuff. It's really easy to get off track. It's really easy To lose interest really so what I'm what I did is that I'm listing about You know nine or ten different things that I think are really really important That I think will really help you out So I'll just go through them all so you can kind of see what I'm looking at what I do But you know, I want to just kind of go through them with you I would say the first thing I would tell you is to believe in your goals and trust that you have the ability to do it I think that's the biggest thing is that people really don't think they can do it You need to believe in your goals. You got to trust yourself. You got to believe that you could do these things Because if you don't and you you say to yourself Well, how am I going to believe that I can do it when I've never done it before Because you can because other people have done it So if you just start believing that Richard Brown says learn from yesterday less of the scatter and more of the focus. Thank you so much. Yeah, that's very good James bring can't hear you problem with my Apple speakers Bad sess. I'm sorry. I hope everybody else can hear me good Let's see here Richard says he can hear me. So maybe it is your speaker there Please get that fix. I want you to hear me James So when you truly believe that you can achieve your goals, you will do whatever it takes See, that's the difference if you don't believe that you can do it You're not going to put forth the effort and the believing just starts with you just start believing it That's all you really got to do in this first step is just start believing it And it's your goals when you believe that you can achieve them You will do a hundred percent commitment rather than a half-hearted attempt. So it's really important that you do believe that Okay, and the next thing I'll tell you is don't expect these big increases take baby steps every single day Almost forgot to whack the like button. Oh, no James. I forgot to say anything about that. Hey, hit that like button We would really appreciate that so this next thing it doesn't matter how big your goals are It matters that you take all these baby steps That's the thing that really counts the key to making progress every day You can't achieve your goals when you don't think about them You don't do something towards them every single day. You can't have a goal and then say well next week I'll start working on this You got to start right now. There's a saying that if you swing an axe five times Every day eventually the tree will fall. Okay. Yes, no matter how big the tree is if you just swing the axe Five times a day. It will eventually fall. That's kind of like me doing these videos. I do videos every single day I know that as I do these videos every day my audience grows my income grows All those things happen because I just keep swinging an axe The same principle applies to your life and your goals as long as you take action as long as you work on your goals Every single day. I mean every day. Yes seven days a week. You will eventually arrive at your destination Therefore you got to be consistent You got to commit to at least five baby steps every single day something something and trust me you will achieve your goals It will happen The next thing number three if you're keeping track is make your goals Challenging, okay. I see people, you know do goals like let's say I want to be in better shape Okay, so I want to be in better shape. So I'm gonna do push-ups. Okay. I do push-ups That's just something I use as a goal But I never do Just what I can do I try to push past that pain point where it is just excruciating And I do that on purpose because I know that I'm never going to get to where I want to be if I don't really push past It's same thing with your financial goals Albert Einstein once said a ship is safe in the harbor, but that's not why it is built Your life is meant to be fun and exciting and challenging. It's not meant to be boring You know, you may think it's meant to be boring. It's not it's meant to be fun You may want to live a remarkable life But you got to do something you got to challenge yourself to actually do that think about it If you're currently earning let's say five thousand dollars a month making an initial hundred dollars isn't going to make you jump out of bed in The morning what you want to do is have a goal. It's challenging. You want to change that five thousand to twenty thousand That would make you get out of bed. Okay, that would make something happen. So you've got to make that challenging Number four Set goals that are actually fun and exciting. You're right Something that's actually fun. Think about it. If something isn't fun and exciting You will have the motivation to actually do it probably not. Okay, obviously the answer is no But unfortunately, that's what most people do. They set goals that aren't fun or exciting. They're any fun Okay, so, you know my goal every morning is to get up and help you guys start running grow your businesses But it's fun to me. I enjoy doing that. Okay So you got to do that you have to understand that if you want to achieve goals The goals got to be fun and exciting so that you want to wake up each morning You want to work on them set a goal that actually gets your heart pumping. Okay, it makes things happen You know, if it's exercise, you know, maybe you've got a picture of somebody's body that you want to look like Or an amount of weight you want to lose or something something that's really fun and exciting number five Work on improving yourself every single day What can you do today to be a better person and I think most days The things I do to make myself a better person is I look at all the things that I don't want to do that day All the things I don't want to do. There's usually a pretty big list and I start working on those things Those things I don't want to do You know, I had this this Apple watch thing and I had it set to 700 calories a day I've got a I've got to burn 700 calories a day and The only way I'm going to get there is if I hit the 700 calories and sometimes after dinner at night I've got 529 calories. I'm like, oh darn. I've got to get on the bike. I got to go walk around the block I got to go do something to hit that 700 calories But I've got to improve myself every day and that's a physical improvement, right? But try to be a better person. What can you do to be a better person? Can you let more people in front of you in traffic? Okay? I have a rule now I used to get really aggravated in traffic because people would cut me off and all that and I'd be really aggravated and I said Well, you won't get aggravated if you allow anybody to get in front of you So that's kind of my rule now if somebody needs to get in front of me They always get in 100% of the time doesn't matter if it's convenient doesn't matter if I'm in a hurry That's something I do that is a silly thing, right? But it's something I'm trying to do to improve myself if I'm standing in the kitchen cooking or cleaning or whatever I look around and I say what else can I do to improve this area? What can I do to improve this area? If I'm sitting in the living room and I look around and I said What can I do to improve this area? I may not want to get off the couch, but I may see something that's cluttered in the corner I'm like, well, I could go straight mad up. I could go do that. Now. These are simple things guys Bigger things maybe you're reading a book on self-improvement, okay? I'm working on your memory or learning a new language or typing whatever it is Try to find things that are gonna make you improve every single day And this will help you achieve your goals too because you're thinking along these lines Let me get a sip real quick Now number six is kind of different and some people get this wrong, but it's I want you to concentrate on making real progress I think too often we we say well I'm gonna work on my business for an hour or I'm gonna work on my business for two hours Work does not mean progress. Okay. You may think you're working, but what progress did you make? So I want you to think about your goals and the results Okay, when it comes to maintaining momentum, you need to focus on actually making real progress, okay? So like if I'm writing or if I'm doing videos one of my goals is to build a responsive subscriber list people who are actually engaged You know in my videos But if I focus on the result a number of subscribers each day I'm going to fail why because when I first started my videos were new and there was no visitors or subscribers in the Beginning, right? So if I think about my goals is a ton of subscribers. I'm gonna feel kind of dejected I'll lose my motivation and eventually I'll give up on my videos instead. I choose or focus in on making progress So that's making another video one more video ten more minutes of content. You know, that's what I focus on I know that if I want to grow my subscribers, I need to publish new videos Consistently on a consistent basis because the subject I talk about today may not be what you're interested in But the one I talk about tomorrow may be so it's also got to be varied Okay, so it's got to be varied and I got to be making progress So day after day I make progress and slowly the number of you know Visitors the number of subscribers the number of viewers increases And so does that subscriber list, which is what I'm ultimately trying to do. Let's see here Let's see still does sound so I'll see y'all Thursday peace and blessings always everyone so sorry James of the sound is working But I don't know what's going on there. You may want to restart your computer Okay, and I think I'm up to number seven now number seven and I don't have mine numbered But identify the lead measures. Okay lead measures is an important measure of your goals Most people focus on their main target as a result But they don't focus on the lead measures and this is why they actually fail Your lead measures are the measures that directly impact the results of your goals For instance, if your goal was to I don't know lose weight The main lead measure are exercise and diet how much time you spend to exercise each week And do you track your diet and calorie intake? Okay? Those are things that are lead measures that you've got to go through These two lead measures will directly impact your goal of losing weight If you want to achieve your goal, then all you do is focus on those two lead measures. What are your lead measures? And when you hit your exercise diet target, you will automatically reach your weight loss because you've done these lead measures Another classic example is if you want to increase your sales, what should you do? You should focus on Prospecting and presentation. Okay, the more prospects you present to and this can be through emails through sales pages through ads The higher your sales are going to be so that's what you got to focus on Therefore the number of prospects you approach or the number of people to get your email and sales presentation you deliver to Those are your lead measures. You must work on those things and then you're going to hit your sales All right number eight. I think this is okay Number eight is make your goals measurable Okay, so most people set very general and vague goals like you know, I want to become rich I want to be happy or I want to be in shape or anything. Those are two vague. That is not a goal guys That is a dream. Okay, let me ask you if your goal was to live a happy life Do you know when you have achieved it? How do you know that? How do you know when you've achieved it? How do you know when you're happy? The problem is when your goal is it measurable you'll never know when you reached it If you don't know when you reached it, it doesn't matter. You know if you say I want to go out east, okay? Well, what is east where is east you got to have a destination? You would put a destination in your nav and you would say this is where I'm going to same thing with goals You would say hey, I want to make a hundred thousand dollars this year in profit, or I want to make a million dollars this year in profit So you make your goals Quantifiable you make them measurable so that you can tell when you've actually reached them plus when you have something That's measurable. You can then come up with specific action plans to achieve it Okay, so let's say you you send out 10 emails now to say a hundred emails Let's get realistic here one of them gets open and half of those spend $20 Well, if you wanted to make a hundred thousand dollars this year You just do the math and figure out how many emails you got to send out and then you could go back and see How many people you need to add to your list? Okay, so those are the things you're gonna need to do And then I think we're down to number nine now number nine Is what make sure your goals align with your inner values now you could have big goals to make big money to do big things But are you gonna have that aligned with your inner values? So I'm I could say well, I'm gonna lose weight I'm just gonna take a bunch of diet pills every single day to kill my appetite now That's gonna help you lose weight. But does that really align with your inner goals? I mean are you really gonna be healthy once you lose the weight the answer is no because you've tried to skip some steps You're not aligning yourself with your inner goals To make a lot of money, you know, you could cheat people right you could say well I'm gonna tell them one thing and deliver something else and you could probably make a lot of money That won't in a line with your inner goals. Well, I hope it wouldn't align with your inner goals So you got to make sure it does align You want to make sure your goals Make you feel good at the end. You don't want to set a goal that's not in harmony with your values For example, if you're somebody who values security More than adventure setting a goal like traveling around the world alone may not work for you Okay, may not be your thing. Okay, I watch a lot of these travel bloggers in some of these countries They get just this one guy In all he does is trying to go into the worst neighborhoods in the world Why he doesn't I mean it's interesting to watch but I wouldn't want to do that Okay, that wouldn't align with what I want to do Even if you force yourself to do it, you're not going to enjoy the progress and the experience So it's got to align with who you are now. He's he's into that. That's his thing Okay, I watched some travel bloggers that eat some crazy food street foods From these vendors and you know, I see that the sanitary conditions and I'm like Well, I would never do that. I would never ever do that Love point nine your inner values. Thank you very much. I appreciate that and I'm really sorry that james Lost his sound there. That's a shame. Here's another example people will set income goals. So If money isn't their main purpose their goals will never work, you know, that's really not your thing If money isn't your thing and money isn't everybody's like money is a measurement of how well you're doing something But it's not the only thing They will find it hard to come up with drives to put themselves into action They will find ways to sabotage their own success. This is why this is excuse me This is what happens when your goals conflict with your inner values Instead Learn to set goals that align with your inner values. So set goals that really make your heart feel good Make you feel like you're really into it. You know, my wife is into dog training and all that But her real goal is to keep dogs with their owners because if you've got a dog It's acting up and it's being bad and it's biting people or it's you know They're going to try to get rid of that dog and she doesn't want to see more dogs without a home So her goal is dog training. Yeah, but that's not the real goal The real goal is to keep the dog in the home with the people and and you know Have a harmonious situation there make the dog happy make the owners happy That's her real goal And when she looks at her goal like that, then the dog training is all secondary the money is all secondary To what she really wants to do. She's a good person and she loves that Um, and then the last one I got on my list here is really important guys Always keep your mind on your goals. Always keep your mind on your goals. This is a big one I think a lot of people don't want to write down their goals They don't want to you know, put them anywhere and in writing down your goals is not To remind you what your goal is writing down your goals is to remind you what you said you're going to do Okay, that's what it's really for. You know, it doesn't matter if other people see it and all that I mean it's cool if they do but it's to remind you what you said you're going to do And if you have to keep looking at that goal over and over again, you know, we had a promotion I was running and I'm looking at my light up here and it has a little strip of paper on it And it says $50,000 a month and for that promotion we wanted $50,000 a month So every time I did a video I'm looking at this light here and I see this little sticker on there This is $50,000 a month. We way overdid that amount of money, which is really nice But every time I looked at the light I had to see that I also had to strip on my computer. I took it off the computer because we exceeded that goal But I had it on my computer. So every day when I flipped open my computer says $50,000 a month And I would have to look at what I was what I've made so far And if I had made that 50 grand on that promotion, that's not total of what we sell because we do more than that But it it helped me realize what I needed to do One of the most common reasons why people fail at their goals while others succeeded them is those who Successfully achieve their goals always keep their goals in mind. They just do. Let me get a sip here Ah, that's good today. Um, I know I know this is easier said than done. It really is Have you heard about the phrase? You become what you think about most of the time You've come what you think about most of the time and think about this If somebody is a doctor, you know, they didn't just become a doctor They went to college and they thought about becoming a doctor and they went to medical school They thought about becoming a doctor and they went did their internship and they were constantly thinking about being a doctor And they did all these things. That's what they were thinking about all day long. So ultimately They became a doctor. Okay, your life is organized around your thoughts This is this is a critical component that a lot of people don't realize Your dominant thoughts will determine how you live your life. Whatever your dominant thoughts are They're going to make you do certain things If you always think about not having enough money, that's your concern Always thinking about not having enough money. You're never going to have enough money You'll you'll never have enough money You will find it hard to come up with extra money and there's always more days left at the end of the month Because you concentrated on not having enough money. Instead, you need to concentrate on having money Your thoughts will dictate your life. Tony Robbins once said where you focus, excuse me Where you focus goes energy flows thus If you always think about your goals and focus on them, that's what you will create in your life That's a fact. So always choose to consciously think about your goals Uh, where your attention goes your energy flows. James Green knows that you must have got your sound He says persisted persisted persisted Uh, finally managed to get your live stream on my old Motorola Not so smart phone Well, I'm glad you're back. I really am. I'm really glad you're back. And you know, you you knew that saying you're a well read guy, James You seem to know a lot of this stuff This is where you need to write down your goals. You need to review them. You need to visualize them You need to see yourself achieve them You need to make a vision board of your goals if you want to You know, my wife has a vision board in her office and it has you know our move to austin and all the things She wants to do and when she goes to her office, she looks up there and she sees it She sees her vision board A lot of people see this stuff as corny and it's not what it is. It's a reminder It's a reminder of stuff because you have so many things that are they're looking for your attention every day We get hit with I think I read last time 50,000 ads a day. I know that sounds absurd But we do you know, if you think about all the places where ads are And if you're bombarded with all this exterior stuff constantly It's easy to lose track of your goals And you've got to put them somewhere where you're going to see them if you put them in the notepad And I'm not saying this is bad But if you put them in the notepad of your phone and you never open that notepad They don't do you any good you wrote them down sure, but you don't see them. You got to see them. Okay, and that's that's what The last one here number 10 is is you got to keep your goals in mind And the only way to do that is you got to visually see them Where where can you put them where you're going to constantly see them now if you open your notepad every day at 9 a.m. And you look at it again every day at 9 a.m. And you look at it at 5 p.m. Yeah, okay, that's okay to put it there But if you're not going to do that if you're not going to put them where you're going to see them You need to put them someplace you will see them. That's why I have one the light here That's why I had it on the computer here These were goals that I wanted and I needed to see them every day to remind myself You need to do something else because you get lazy. I get lazy everybody gets lazy. Okay, it's easy to get lazy You know every week I have to Do five six thumbnails For my live and it's not hard. I mean, I've got a template and I just changed the dates, but it's got to be done I've come up. I've got to come up with six subjects I've got to research each one of these subjects and I usually do all this on sunday night And that way I have the entire week playing now And that way I can also see what my goals are in front of me It's like if I decide no, I don't want to go live today. Well, that's you can't do that That's not an option because I've already scheduled it on youtube. I already see the thumbnail there I already see the subject matter there. I already have the word doc drawn up. It's not an option For me not to go live. It's not an option because I've set myself up for success I I have it there. I see it there and I know I've got to do it Um, and that's what you got to do If you want to achieve your goals and I'd like to hear about some of your goals guys Feel free to put that in the chat section right there.

No, but it's true. Believe me James. Hey if you go to And we're thinking about just saying we're from virginia because if you're moving there and you say you're from california People don't like you. They just don't like you in texas. They're like, oh god.

They do not like Californians moving into texas and I am not a californian Though I will say both my kids were born here because I used to live here in the 80s and my 80s 90s My daughter was born in 1990 in california. My son was born in 1994 in california So both of them are californian. I'm not I was born in virginia So I'm out of that league, but I do like I like this state. No, there's some nice people here The weather's nice. It's just the political climate the taxes The homelessness problem that they aren't addressing, you know, and I don't blame the homeless for that I blame the government for the hell they addressed that but I'm getting into political stuff. I don't want to do that That's not my thing. That's not what this channel is about. This channel is about making you guys money online That's what we need to stick to I am very impressed with my rpm rpm guys is the amount of money that you make every time People watch your videos. Um a good rpm is around one to five dollars sometimes 10 dollars per thousand views per thousand views and this will blow your mind my rpm yesterday Hold on to your hats was 26 dollars $26 the good one is one to five Top end is around 10. I'm at $26 per thousand views. So that's saying every time I get a thousand views I make 26 bucks. That's crazy. Um my um cpm which is how much they charge Is around 44 45 dollars. It's just bizarre How much this channel is targeting people who want to make money? So apparently people who want to make money advertisers who want to reach people who want to make money Like the content we're putting out that much Which just blows my mind. I'm very thankful for that.
