This week on the pod I talk about privilege, privilege in my sense. Through a mixed sense raised in a white community. I talk about my privilege in the life I've been able to lead. How I've failed those around me and ultimately myself based on my actions. I talk about my want to be better, and how I and you (if you relate) can be better and take strides in the right direction. This is not a slander on people of white privilege this is strictly a gaze through my experience and my privilege and a mixed man in society. Of course there is an update and I've got a couple summaries for ya. The Great EP 3 Mrs. America EP 9 Hannah Gadsby's new special Douglas and Tower of God a new crunchyroll exclusive.

SERIES TITLE EXTRA STRENGTH THE PATH TO PRAISE IS SOMETIMES THROUGH OUR PROBLEMS HABAKKUK 3: 17-19 January 12, 2020 PM Habakkuk 3: 17-19 Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls—18Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19 The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills. To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments. This means it is a song and Luke will play it on the guitar Sometimes we arrive at praise through our problems. You don’t have a story until something goes wrong. We don’t really understand faith until something goes wrong. He did not understand but he did know where to turn. Let’s see how to process our problems and arrive at praise. 1. PROCESSING THE PROBLEM Habakkuk 1:2-4 O Lord, how long shall I cry, And You will not hear? Even cry out to You, “Violence!” And You will not save.3Why do You show me iniquity, And cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; There is strife, and contention arises. 4 Therefore the law is powerless, And justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; Therefore perverse judgment proceeds. He was overwhelmed with the breakdown of morality in his day. Barna reported in 2016 that a majority of American adults across age group, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status and political ideology expresses concern about the nation’s moral condition—eight in 10 overall (80%). “The highest good, according to our society, is ‘finding yourself’ and then living by ‘what’s right for you,” says David Kinnaman, president of Barna Group Habakkuk 1:6-7 Look among the nations and watch—Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days Which you would not believe, though it were told you. I am raising up the Babylonians, that ruthless and impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize dwellings not their own.7 They are a feared and dreaded people; they are a law to themselves and promote their own honor. Habakkuk 1:13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, And cannot look on wickedness. Why do You look on those who deal treacherously, And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours A person more righteous than he? Habakkuk 2:2 Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. Habakkuk 2:4 “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? Galatians 5:6, 14 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” I’d rather be in the hands of Him who has all the answers than to have all the answers. Robert J. Morgan Habakkuk 2:14 For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:20 “But the Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before Him.” 2.PROCEEDING TO PRAISE Habakkuk 3:1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, on Shigionoth. Habakkuk 3: 17-19 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. 19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. (means Luke will play it on the guitar) Habakkuk 3: 17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, Habakkuk 3: 18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. We rejoice that we still have God’s presence God’s promises God’s protection God’s provision God’s providence Habakkuk 3:19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His Word Just to rest upon His promise, Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord!" Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! Oh, for grace to trust Him more! I'm so glad I learned to trust Him, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend And I know that He is with me, Will be with me to the end.

"Pitching is a verbal way of selling your story, and I like to leave something visual so they remember my pitch." — Sher-Li Tan I thought I was the Queen of Pitch Preparation until I met producer and filmmaker Sher-Li Tan. We first met at YouTube conference VidCon and she blew me away with how passionately she spruiked her projects. In this episode we talk about how she prepares for pitching her shows — everything from the documents she creates to how she researches her audience and the people she's pitching to. We also discuss how pitching can be a way to test the market for your ideas, and different ways to measure the success of your pitches. Sher-Li's full of great insights and stresses the importance of nurturing relationships with the people you pitch to along the way. Podcast Guest Profile Sher-Li Tan is an early-career producer with an interest in storytelling and production excellence. She strongly believes in the power of the film to connect and engage. Raised in both Mauritius and Singapore, she aspires to use her exposure to different cultures and backgrounds to inform her filmmaking. She is also a trained speech pathologist and hence a vocal advocate for communities from various under-represented populations.

"Read scripts from the shows you like and shows you don't like. Have a good look at how they lay things out. " Wendy Hanna's episode is full of great tips about writing, finding other writers, growing your community of writers and even entering writing competitions. Hear how we first met at an Animation Writing Workshop and how the mock writers' room she created inspired me to re-think how I'd find writers for my show. Podcast Guest Profile Wendy Hanna is an AWGie nominated screenwriter and creative development consultant with a passion for people, characters and big ideas. Her credits include iconic serial Neighbours, popular drama Love Child and docu-drama Dating the H-Bomb, as well as numerous children’s programs including Giggle & Hoot, Dumbotz and Sydney Sailboat. She is also is co-creator of factual teen format MY:24. A former Development Executive for Essential Media & Entertainment, she has extensive development experience across genres including kids, drama, animation and factual, and regularly works with creative teams to help concepts find their best form.

"The key thing is, these funding bodies want you to contact them. They'll give you the time to explain what's required because they want people to succeed as well. " How can you fund your creative projects whilst working a day job? Who do you need on your team to make your funding applications more competitive? How important is it to create a proof of concept to get more funding? In this episode I chat to filmmaker Hawanatu about how she's managed to get her films and web series made. We also discuss the importance of valuing time and talent — yours and that of the people you're working with. The numbers start to add up and that's when you can look at applying to screen agencies for support. Hawanatu's latest project Afro Sistahs recently received funding from Screen Australia's Generate initiative. Podcast Guest Profile Hawanatu Bangura is an Afro-Australian writer, director and producer. Born in Sierra Leone, she migrated to Australia in 2002 and as a teenager discovered her interest in filmmaking when she was involved in a youth film project. Since then, she has written and directed six short films in various genres including dance, experimental, drama, documentary and animation. Her films have been screened both in Australia and internationally at film festivals including the Legacy Film Festival (United Kingdom), Shaan-E-Awadh International Film Festival (India), Adelaide Kids Film Festival, African Film festival Australia and International Pan African Film Festival (Cannes), Toronto International Film Festival Kids. Her short animation film, ‘Money Tree’, about a boy who wants to become rich by planting a stolen coin was nominated for best animation at Montreal International Black Film Festival (Canada). Recently, she joined forces with a group of Afro-Australian female filmmakers to create a web series titled Afro Sistahs a short form narrative comedy/drama that explores the complex nature in which culture, gender, race, love and of course, hair, intersect. Hawanatu’s films are driven by her personal values – so themes of social justice, empowerment, identity, peace, hope and wisdom are strong in her work. The stories in her films are universal, resonating with audiences far and wide. Hawanatu is passionate about using her films as a platform to raise consciousness about social issues and social injustices. She was part of the prestigious Screen Producers Australia: One to Watch program in 2017.

In this episode, it’s episode 18, I’ve been wrestling with this concept of enough over the past several years and have gotten to a really freeing place of being content with where God has me now. I’ve stopped striving and starting living into this current season with new perspective, and I want to help you shift your thinking with this too—to overcome the lie that you don’t have enough—and step into the truth that enough is right in front of you. In this episode I cover: How I've come into a season where we have less and yet I feel more content than ever. What God's Word says about contentment and having enough? What I have to do DAILY to restore my heart back to the truth about this matter. How you can become free from the glass-half-empty thoughts. What we really should be striving for and where our focus should be. We have more than enough friends.

"It's not an immediate result. It's a slow coming home to self that happens over time." There are some conversations I've recorded for the podcast so far that are just pure joy and sugar. This is one of them. My dear friend Alison Burger has been a role model to me for years of what it looks like to own my worth, my beauty, and a career I love. She is a multi-talented wellness maven whose professional experience ranges from accounting to modeling to fitness to event planning to mediation and other wellness practices -- and that's just scratching the surface. But what I really love about Alison is that she is committed to loving herself and her life despite what anyone else may assume about what that requires. You see, Alison has not only experienced amazing professional and personal success, she has also experienced chronic pain and injury, multiple business opportunities not panning out, relationships ending, and much more. That's why I value her perspective when it comes to how she celebrates her beauty and worth on a daily basis. She is a true queen of following her north star no matter the ups and downs of where the journey takes her. I know we'll record multiple episodes together (we already decided the topic of the next one), so get excited to be introduced to someone I am sure you'll love as much as I do.

Hey, Gorgeous! This week's episode is a little bit of a different one. And that's because it marks the 6-month anniversary of this show! Woohoo! Thanks for joining me on this ride. As you may know, I always have an experiment or two taking place in my business and in my life. Facebook Live has been one of them. I've been using the platform to film my weekly show and I made a 6-month commitment to the experiment. I knew that length of time would be enough to learn the platform, doing some tests within my episodes and really see how it plays out from a benefits/downside/time-commitment/etc. perspective. And this episode breaks it all down: the good, the bad, and how it's still an effective strategic tool in your business. Let's dig in! Here's what I thought would be most helpful to cover in this week's episode: HOW I've actually been using Facebook Live - because context is really everything What I've LOVED about this platform Why I'm actually breaking up with it when it comes to my Weekly Show Is it too late to jump in? What's working now with Facebook Live My biggest takeaways OK, let's do it! HOW I've Actually Used the Facebook Live Platform As I mention in the Facebook Live above, I've used this platform to actually capture the episode. So, in other words, it's been my filming mechanism. Every Tuesday at 11am PT, I would hit that GO LIVE button on my phone and start recording the content I'd developed since the last week. Once I hit FINISH and ended my episode, I'd: Upload the video (versus delete, because that's an option) to Facebook, Download the video to my hard drive Upload it to Youtube Turn the video into a blog post on my site (like this one) Share it on Twitter Post it on LinkedIn Rip the audio from the video and turn it into a podcast And send it out to my email list as my weekly email touchpoint So, while I used the live-ness of Facebook Live, my intention was that Facebook would not be where these videos ended. I had plans to carry this content I created once across the various platforms where my audience chooses to engage. And because it was primarily a filming mechanism, I chose to do my Facebook Lives on a day and time that I knew I could fulfill on. Very few holidays land on a Tuesday and I could book meetings before or lunches afterwards. Tuesday at 11am PT was a commitment I could keep. What I LOVED About Facebook Live 1. Very Wide Reach: When I started doing Facebook Lives, it was obvious that Live was a priority for Facebook. Last summer (I started filming these in August of 2017) was the only time I've EVER seen an actual billboard for Facebook. And the message on that analog ad was HOW to go Live on Facebook. Whoa, right? Priority alert. And because it was such a priority for them, when I finished up my filming for the week's episode, I would promote the post and get INSANE reach (more details below). Like $5-$10 a day would get a few thousand video views. Again, their priority... I'll share how this has changed in the next section, but this is one big plus that I initially loved about the platform. 2. It Upped My Personal Game: Because there were no second-takes, I needed to not only prepare my content to a point where I felt comfortable speaking it out to whoever tuned in, I had to think on my feet. When I first started shooting these episodes live, I would STRICTLY stick to my outline. But as the weeks progressed, I started to add things as they came to mind while I was talking. I know this is something that will serve me well (and I'll continue to improve and practice, obviously) for the rest of my career. It was like taking an upper level class on being in the moment. 3. New Content EVERY Week: Because I had made a commitment to you, my audience, to have a new Live every week, I had to develop a discipline of creating content, digging deeper into my own ideas and experiences, find meaningful applications and (a practice I started about a month or two in) weekly challenges. I had to show up with new content, so it forced me to develop a plan to deliver. 4. Opened Doors for Opportunities: This is my 28th episode, so while I've been doing this every week for 6 months, I haven't been doing this forever. BUT... I've received several speaking engagement invitations as a result of others finding and watching/listening to my episodes. And here's the real surprise, I've been approached twice about having my own radio show (!?!!?!!). That's certainly not something I'd considered previously, but (spoiler alert) I said yes to one of them. More details to come soon... 5. How People Interacted with Me Once They Met Me in Person: That might not sound super clear, but hear me out. :) If people watched/listened to these episodes and then later met me in person, either at a speaking engagement, a networking event or otherwise, the consistent feedback I've received from these people is "Wow, I feel like I already knew you." This one took me by surprise but it's been one of my favorite benefits. All early-stage women entrepreneurs are looking to build "know, like and trust" with our audience and this seemed to be an almost effortless byproduct of creating these Facebook Lives. 6. They're Intentionally Not Over-Produced: I think this is one of the biggest benie's for someone just started a show, or building a brand. Because it's Live, there is an umbrella of grace over the production-value. Viewers don't expect it to be professionally captured in a studio if the content itself is really strong. It's been great to be able to focus on what I actually want to share each week and not necessarily have to manage a studio or other complicated activities on the production side. Note: I did invest in an Rode external-mic, this Beastgrip Adapter and Rig (may be affiliate links) to make sure the audio and stabilization were strong, but thats really it. I relied on natural light and a colorful background (greenery has been my favorite) to keep the Live production value decently high. 7. Immediate Feedback on Messaging: This is another truly invaluable benefit for Facebook Lives. Maybe you're trying to figure out the specific messaging or a story that captures the wisdom of what you offer. Facebook Live has been incredible for this purpose. If it's not a home run (or even a base hit), you can find it out pretty dang quick. Why I'm Breaking Up with Facebook Live So, in total honesty, I'm sure I'll use Facebook Live on a case by case scenario going forward. I'm not saying goodbye forever. But what I AM saying is, it will no longer be a cast member on my weekly show... Here's why. 1. We No Longer Have Access to the HD Version of Our Video: But we used to. When I first started out, we would have the option to choose to upload our video as SD or HD to Facebook (and thereby, be able to DOWNLOAD that video from Facebook as SD or HD), but about month 4 or so, I noticed one time when that option was no longer on the screen. Then, about a month later, I saw it again. Now, for the last month, it hasn't been an option at all. If you've been watching my Weekly Show, you may or may not have noticed this, but I noticed it! It is an upper limit on the quality control of my episodes and, though I understand why they most likely made that change (see #4 in the "Is It For You?" Section below), as business owners we need to make the best decision for us as we grow. Note: If you have no plans of downloading the content to use in other places, this may not be a deal-breaker for you, but it was for me. As an entrepreneur, I want everything I do to be as effective as possible. I want the work I do to matter in every instance, not just in one platform. 2. The Ever-Changing Facebook Algorithm: If you've ever done any kind of business posting on Facebook, I'm sure you've heard about this ever-dynamic algorithm. And you know what, Facebook owns the platform so it's their prerogative. But like #1 above, it affects us so we need to be savvy. Since Facebook Live has indeed taken off since last summer (when I saw those billboards up and down the 101), they are again modifying their algorithm based on their new and upcoming priorities. As I alluded to above, when I first started throwing a couple bucks at promoting my Facebook Lives, I would get between 2,000 and 3,000 views a day. What early-stage women entrepreneurs WOULDN'T want that?? But since that time, it's steadily declined. This last month, the same budget brought in 200 to 400 views. What's interesting was there was no less engagement from week to week. The videos were about similar lengths of time and I was promoting to a similar audience. With all these things considered and a 90% reduction in views, it felt very... algorithmic.... These things happen on platforms we don't control, so it was a surprise and from a business perspective, I get it. It was also a factor in my deciding to break up with the platform. 3. The Weekly Time it Requires: Time. It really is our most precious resource. One of the main reasons I planned on giving myself 6 months to test the Facebook Live platform was because I wasn't batching multiple episodes at a time. In other words, I was repeating the same promotional steps every week. So, my time was rather un-leveraged. If reasons #1 and #2 on this list didn't exist, this use of my time may still be worthwhile. BUT... because I can no longer gain access to the HD version of my show and the Facebook algorithm doesn't reward Facebook Lives like it used to, the weekly commitment of my time seems less and less compelling. I could be using those same hours in a very different, more strategic way (for both of us). I have, for instance, considered creating a checklist or other downloadable tool for episodes going forward, to further take the learning into real life. I would have time to invest in something like that if I was leveraging my time by batching. Note: A win that has come from my un-leveraged time is I've developed and optimized a rather effective checklist for my weekly show. So... if I want to outsource this part of my work to someone else, I already have a super clear step-by-step checklist to delegate. Super Ninja Note: Would a checklist like the one I just referenced be helpful for you? If so, simply mention CHECKLIST! in the comments below. Is It Too Late to Jump In? What's Working with Facebook Live Now? In a word, yes. It absolutely is. And the main intention of this episode is to let you know HOW it's still viable and what has changed over the last 6 months. So, if you're considering a Facebook Live test or even a regular show, try it!! We are still in that pocket of time where "this is the best it'll ever be" still applies. Do it. And if you're trying to decide whether or not you want to try Facebook Live in your business, take a look at my suggestions on what's working the best right now: If you want to loop your audience in to something happening right then and there, do it! Say, you're at an event, just had an epiphany, met your childhood hero, or anything else where you think "AH! I want to tell more people about this right now!," that is a perfect instance for Facebook Live. Press "Go Live" right now! If you don't have any intention of downloading the Live video for further dissemination, great! The SD versus HD is not an issue for you. If you want to test messaging and see what catches fire. This is still one of the best utilizations of Facebook Live! You'll be forced to pull your thoughts together and get the content out. Then, you'll be able to see how your audience engages with it. I'm certain this is something marketers, business owners and other influencers would have killed for just a decade ago. If you think about how Facebook wants us to use their platform. Because, like I said, it is their platform. Frankly, we have no reasonable expectation that they'll cater to our needs. BUT... if we think about how they want us to use it (i.e., to keep users on their platform) I'm sure they'll reward content creators like that. My Biggest Takeaways All this leads me to, my final thoughts: the biggest takeaways and how I'm moving forward. The Facebook Live platform helped me get my first 28 episodes created and out there for the world to engage with my work. I will always be thankful for that! I'm not throwing the towel in with Facebook Live. More accurately, I'm redefining the relationship, and like I said earlier, it's simply no longer a cast member on the show. THE WEEKLY SHOW WILL CONTINUE! Just because I won't be using Facebook Live to capture it doesn't mean the show is over. It'll just be presented with a different format (and a new experiment or two), so keep tuning in. ;) If you're interested in testing out Facebook Live in your business, just do it! Right now. Stop reading and go live. Then, you'll know if you love it, hate it, or need to try it again to be sure. If you do choose to try it out, set a timeframe around it so you don't feel like you're committed to it forever. Put it into a container and make it work for you. Well, I know this post and this episode are longer than usual but I hope you found this deeper dive into my experience of doing 6 months worth of weekly Facebook Lives really helpful. I look forward to seeing you in the new format next week!! XOXO, Ginny
How I've become more productive than ever before. Listen to this on Sunday night. You won't regret it!
HELLO LSF family!!!! Maddie here. How I've missed you! I'm incredibly excited to announce my new podcast, Everybody's Braindead. I love love love talking to Annie every single week, and we will definitely be doing more podding in the future, but I also wanted to share with you some of the cool conversations I have with people I've met here in LA. I try to interview the least braindead ones I can find. It would mean so much to me if you checked out my new podcast, and as an added incentive, my very first guest is our two and only: Annie Krab & Ben Schmidt. (
You guys how are you doing? So I'm recording this on January 1st but it will probably go out tomorrow though. But I'm super excited for this year, this year, this day, this morning is actually something I've been fantasying about for six years. In fact, I was trying not to get emotional this morning about it. Man tears of course, man tears, they're very tough. But I have been, I've been wanting to do what I'm doing right now for six years give or take I'm sure a little bit of time as the dream became more and more clear, but I've been so stoked to do this. You guys I left my job last weekend and I am full time, doing this now full time. And I've had plenty of people tell me I'm crazy. I've had plenty of people tell me that I'm brave. I've had plenty of people tell me, "Yeah you'll do great. Go get it." A lot of people tell me I won't. All over the place, it's so funny anytime you ... I'm sure that you guys have all experienced it before especially when you get into any kind of MLM or do anything, do anything in life. People come out of the woodwork to let you know their own opinion which is pretty funny. It's awesome, but at the same time it makes me kind of laugh because like us you're an armchair quarterback sometimes aren't ya? You know, depending on what they said. And I've had plenty of people let time know that what I'm doing is dumb. A lot of people tell me, "Hey, this is going to be great. Good luck. You're killing it already, like you've got nothing to fear." It's interesting. You will experience this, and if you have not experienced this yet in MLM, my guess is you probably are not marketing hard enough, number one. Number two, don't worry it's coming. Okay, it's on the way, and your reactions towards it are very much going to determine what happens to you afterwards, how you continue to go forward. There's a great, great quote by Tony Robbins. I can't say the quote directly but I remember the idea, and the idea was that if you want to change your life you have to simply change the story that you've been telling yourself in your head, and I had to do that. I had to do that really very much on purpose, especially as both people who are excited for me started telling me about it, but also a lot of the naysayers as they've been coming out. I had to be careful of the story that was going on in my head and I was just thinking this morning, just meditating and deep pondering this morning as I was getting ready, I was thinking about how blessed I feel that I can go do this and that to come with you guys and share with you how I've been marketing and getting people applying to join my downline. How I've been getting people not just to get in my downline, but what I do with them to really duplicate me, and give them proven systems and processes and what I do with each one of them to really ... I mean it's amazing. It's amazing. And I've had a hard time finding anyone else in the MLM industry who really opens up like this and I'm not trying to pat my own back, but it is one of the major reasons why I started this podcast. Like everyone is approaching MLM from the stand point of, "What do you say to get someone to join an MLM? What do you say to get someone in here"... What do you do here ... In my opinion that's great but it's also the wrong approach and so I go through and I help people understand how to create offers. How do you actually become unique in MLM again? When truly you're upline and downline, you're in competition with them, you know? You all sell the same thing, you're trying to go for the same people. They are your team but they're also in competition. So how do I approach that with my team so that we're not all competing with each other and we can all thrive in our own thing? How do you actually ... That's amazing that's a huge promise and the only reason I can promise it is because I've been doing it in other industries and I do it in these other, specifically one other, and I mean it works. It's been working. That's literally what I do for a living is I help people take their product and I help evolve it, so that they're taking a step out of where all the red ocean is and back into a blue ocean. That's what I do. So I help people do that, help people create automated funnels, and automated selling scripts, automated closing things, and I've been super excited. I have been fantasying. It's probably the wrong word, but I've been fantasying about how to do this, or the fact that I get to share it for a long time. It's January 1st 2018 and I can't even believe it. I started this tradition about four years ago. And you can find it on YouTube if you want, but on YouTube about four years ago I realized how sick I was with where we were. I was in college. We were broke and I decided that I would get really vocal about my goals. And that I only wanted to set one goal. And I would set a monetary, a fiscal goal, and my goal that I would go out and I would set ... Here's basically what I did, I grabbed my phone or my computer and turned the camera on. And I publicly declare what my goal is for the next year, financially, and then I account for what happened last year. So I've been doing this for four years in a row now and I always put the video out on YouTube. I usually make a podcast episode about it. I did last year. But there's four years of this now. I'm about to do it again. which is the fourth year today. I'm about to do it again and I'll probably put that out to you guys so you can hear what it is and it's one of the scariest things that I do. But it's funny because as I got really clear that ... Okay the naysayers have been around me for a long time. But also so are a lot of the people who are trying to ... It's a yin and a yang thing, I created a divide for my own life. I didn't mean to, but on one side are all these people saying, "Yes you can do it." And on the other side all these people saying, "You're dumb, are you kidding me? That's stupid. Stick with your job. Stay with your nine to five. There's security there." Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I knew that's not what I wanted. And I knew that I've always wanted to be on my own. I've always wanted to go on my own.I've been excited to do so. But it's funny that as you get super clear ... That's the thing I realized really quickly, as I got really clear on what I wanted, so much so, so much so, that I could actually get out there and actually go publicly declare it. I mean that's pretty freaky a little bit. It's in some scenarios to say the actual number that I'm going for, and actually where I was last ... You know, the year before. It's pretty ... It's humbling, you know to realize that, but it's also extremely, oh my gosh like such fire in the gut because not only now have I gotten real with myself, and honest with myself, but then all these people who are the people who are trying to listen to, the people who are trying to buoy me up. The people who are trying to help me. They come out and they say, "Steven, you better do that man, you better do that. How you doing? How's your goal?" And because I get clear on it, other people also help me. You know so whenever I do feel like you know I'd love to sleep in, or something was just really so hard that I went through it. I just went through something that certainly was not a win. In fact, it was a loss, or whatever, you know what I mean? People are already around me, and I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know that would be a side benefit of me getting public about my goals. But it is, and I do, and I am, and I'm inviting you to do the same thing. I don't care if you do it about a financial goal or whatever, but just choose one thing, not this massive list of crap you'll never do. What's the one linchpin that if you attacked that it would swing this massive gate of success? My dad grew up on a farm. I think he was the first one to go to college in my family history line, and he's the man. I have such huge respect for my dad, and for what he did, and everything he overcame. I mean it's pretty amazing. An amazing story but he grew up on a farm, and these big farm gates towards the actual hinge of the gate. If it swings like half a centimeter, those gates are so big that by the time you get to the actual end of the gate, it's swinging feet, right? What is the linchpin in your life that you know has been there that has been ... That's been determining where you go and where you don't go? Okay, everyone knows what that is, it's that thing that's been on your head that you're trying not to address, that you're trying to act like you don't need to deal with yet, or it really isn't that big of a deal, or it'll happen later and I don't really need to address it now. You know what I mean? Everyone knows what that is, so go through and figure out whatever those things are for you. What's the biggest linchpin? I'm not just saying in your MLM business. I'm saying in your life in general. Okay, business will require that you have to get better. Business will require that you have to become a more powerful individual in order to be successful in any way. So what is that thing in your life and go figure out what it is and get real. Don't choose a ton of stuff in my opinion. I'm just telling you what I would do. Go choose just the one thing. What's the one thing if you did it, it would swing that gate like crazy, massive linchpin kind of a thing. It's kind of like what Tim Ferris would say. Tim Ferris always says like, "Hey look, if you were to follow me around for a day you would get pretty bored." Okay, someone asked this in an interview and they're like, "Tim Ferris," and if you don't know who he is, he's the author of the book, The Four Hour Work Week, which is fantastic, I have it right next to me, still one of my favorite books. He said, "You know what honestly if you came and you followed me, I think you'd get pretty disappointed on what I do. It's pretty boring. I get up," and this is what he was saying, "I get up and I meditate for a while and then I go and I," he was like, "I sip some tea for a while, and then I go on a walk for a while, and I do that for weeks. I really don't do anything. Maybe I'll do some yoga a little bit." And he's like, "That's really all that I do, but what I'm doing is for weeks I'm trying to identify what the one big thing in my life is that if I was to knock that down the rest of the little dominoes would get knocked down also." Instead of screaming around all over the place on all these little tiny things in my life like I got to do this. I got to do this. I got to do this. And like you could do that or if you just did this one huge thing it would knock down all the others, right? And that's what I'm trying to help you understand is and that's how I've, especially the last three years I've really been trying to focus on just the one goal, the one goal. Yes, there are other goals. Yes, there are other things out there. But the one big thing that would really swing the gate. The most juice for the squeeze, you know what I mean? Most juice for the least amount of squeeze I should say. And go do that, and then get public about it. Tell people about it. It will freak you out, if it doesn't it may not be big enough. Okay? And I mean everybody. Don't hold back. "Oh, that person will think it's dumb so I'm not going to tell them." It's time to tell them, okay? You get real with yourself. You get real with other people and you get out there and you start saying, "This is my goal," whatever it is. Monetary. It could be anything. And be like, "This is the thing that I'm going to rock. I'm going to tear it down this year. This is my year to do that." And so I'm excited because a little bit later today that's what I'm going to go record and I'm nervous. But you can go check them out. Like the first year, four years ago I remember thinking like man and I publicly said, "If I could just make an extra $1000.00 a month that would change our life." Just an extra $1000.00 bucks a month, that would be ridiculous you know? And then the year after that it was like if I could just do $3,000.00 and I'd work super hard and half the time I wouldn't hit it, but other times I would. So then I'd raise the goal. And I'd be like< "Oh man," and I remember the second year it was like, "If I could just do $3000.00 a month that would be amazing, that would cover life expenses easily, that would help me. I mean three grand a month, that's huge. That's huge." And I remember having that feeling and then last year the goal was 30 grand a month. "If I could just do 30 grand a month it would be huge, oh my gosh that'd be massive." And it's cool to see the progression that's been in myself, I'm like, "Oh you know like 30 grand," did I hit it every month? Nope. But I did hit it a couple and you know it's interesting to see like those different pieces and so I know what my goal is next month. Sorry, for this next year, and I'm pretty nervous to declare it. I'm pretty nervous to saying what it is that I want, but man by you saying that stuff just starts happening. I believe in God, I don't know if you do and that's fine, whatever. But that's not what this is about, but call it whatever you want but stuff starts to fall in place, stuff starts to get kind of align for you almost when you get clear about what you want. I feel like some, a lot of times I feel like people don't get successful because they don't know what they want yet. Like, "Oh I'm going to do this and I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this." You really have enough time in your life to get really good at really just like one thing. You know what I mean? Really, I mean really good at like one thing. So get what is the thing? Choose what it is. Is it MLM? Is it this? Is it that? Or whatever it is, you get clear, you get honest, you get sincere with yourself and figure out really have a heart to heart and like sit down like, "Okay, what is the thing that I'm going to be known for? What is the legacy that I'm going to be known for?" I doubt it's going to be, "I was this, and I was this, and I was this, and I was this." And even if it becomes that, it doesn't happen all at once you're going to achieve each one of those one at a time not simultaneously. So like what is the thing? That you're going to go do, just one and you go and get clear about that. I started, I thought I was clear on that and the more and more I think about it, the more I declare publicly, the more clear it gets, the more clear my actions become each day is far more deliberate. The things I do today create a foundation for what I'm going to be able to get done tomorrow. If I don't get the things done today that I'm going to then you know ... No one's it doesn't matter I can't move on, you know what I mean? So figure out what those things are and kind of backwards plan and think about that and try and get sincere about what it is you actually want. And it doesn't matter if you can't see beginning to end on how you get it done. In fact I guarantee you, you won't know exactly how you'll get it done. And if it's a goal that you can see exactly how you'll get it done it probably isn't big enough. It's probably not massive enough.It should almost kind of freak you out. Okay I was listening to I think I said this on this podcast but I can't remember. There's an interesting, there's a billionaire, a billionaire that was getting interviewed once and they're like, "hey what are your tips for success?" And they were kind of giving those things and the billionaire was saying though that I don't remember who's was or where this was or whatever, but the billionaire was saying like, "Look, what do you want to be doing in 10 years? What do you want to be in 10 years? Financially, maybe where you're living, what is it?" And the person responded and he goes, "Awesome. Now ask yourself, "What can you do to get that done in six months?" Whew, okay I don't know what that is for you. I don't know what it is that you're thinking about. I have no idea. It's going to be different for every person, that's great. We're all different human beings I'm not trying to force anything down your throat of whatever it's supposed to be, but like figure out what that is. And as soon as you get super ridiculously wicked clear on what it is, and you start declaring it, how do you get that done in such a short amount of time, a compressed amount of time, okay? I'm trying to invite for this audience and everyone on here, which is growing like crazy by the way, we're about to pass 10,000 downloads I'm very, very excited about it. But it's only been going like four months, totally organic too, which is awesome. I'm sure I'll turn ads on in some future, which I want to explain to you how I do, what I do on that. At some point but we're about to pass 10,000 downloads. This is an awesome community. It's very tight actually and I want ... We all look out for each other. There's a lot of fun. But I want you to know just get real honest. And if it means that it takes you away from MLM, all right, you know it's your ... Got to get real and you got to be willing to make some serious sacrifice about it. I was listening to ... Gosh what book is this in? I have the book I can't remember ... I'm looking on my bookshelves right throw. Crap. But anyway the main lesson I wrote it on my wall. I've got quotes thumb tacked all over my walls. I don't know, I look at them all the time. One of them I'm looking at right now. It says, "There are no life choices, there are only life trades." Ooh, powerful. There are no life choices, there really are no life choices. There are only life trades. If I want to get this, if I get clear and I know exactly what I want to do, massive income, short amount of time, or massive impact I should say because whatever your goal is. Huge thing, how do I get it done in a shorter amount of time? Now what am I willing to trade for that? It's not really a life choice, it's a life trade. Where you're like, "Hey look I want to go to X Y and Z. Awesome. Awesome. Super cool. Super cool, right? I want to go do one, two and three," whatever it is. Great in order to do that let's figure out what it is you actually have to do to get that done. Now what does it mean you have to give up? All right? To decide, literally means to cut out, the word decide, I looked it up yesterday. But the word decide literally means to cut out. So when you choose something and you actually decide what it is you want to do, you are cutting out all other options. You are saying no to literally pretty much everything else in your life, okay? I'm not saying to say no to like relationships, your moral law and code, and religion. I'm not telling like any of that kind of stuff. I'm saying but you got to get good at saying, "No," because as soon as you become a person in motion everyone else gets attracted to that and they will suck to you and they will start throwing all sorts of opportunity at you and it will get noisy. So you've got to get good at saying, "No," and get good at saying, "Yes," to just one thing and kill it. It is about saying, "No." It's not about saying, "Yes." Okay? There's plenty of opportunity out there, that is not the problem, the problem is how much there is and the fact that there's only so many hours in a day. Unfortunately as much as I try to believe I'm superman for a while and could do tons of stuff. Like you know, I can only do one thing at a time. And I got to clear on it. I got to clear exactly what that is. So anyway, so I was not planning at all about talking about this, in fact I have something very different written on my notepad here for where I was taking this episode. But I felt like I wanted to go through that a little bit that like I understand you might be building this MLM while you're working a nine-to-five somewhere else that's great. Totally fine, no judging that. I just left my job too. I was doing that for a while also. So totally get it, okay? Been there, done that. But whatever it is that you do want eventually, I mean you got to be willing to sacrifice like crazy to get there. And you can do it, and you'll find some inner strength for it. And it can be a little bit scary, but it's also super fun. Totally cool. Fun stuff. And you'll find that you actually get more strength and fortitude than you probably realized that you had all along. Hey, what I'm doing today, what I'm doing right now is I have been working on this product and I've been putting this thing together and you know I've launched a lot of products. The job that I was leaving, it's an amazing job. I absolutely loved it. I was the lead funnel builder at ClickFunnels. And I was Russell Brunson's right hand guy. And I just I built a lot of products, I put well over 300 funnels together on the internet. So I'm excited for this, I know what works in MLM and for some reason I don't see enough teaching it. And so I've been doing it and testing it and it works and I've grown the downline's exploding below me and it's a lot of fun. True duplication and I'm really not actually that suave of a person face to face when it comes to selling MLM. So I put automation together to actually address my own weakness so if you're like, "I don't want to talk to a bunch of people," great I don't either, which is why I set this stuff up. So anyways. I'm super stoked because of this product that's launching on January 4th. It's like three days, it's time. It's exciting. It's super cool. I have been putting this together, and planning it, and knocking the rough parts off of it, and rebuilding stuff, and bringing in the right people. It's not just myself there are other rock stars that are coming in and teaching certain aspects of it. Huge, amazing people, I'm excited for you guys to see them in the course. They've already been recording their sections and I mean it is insane. Their courses are amazing. Anyway, but that's on June 4th, I'm sorry, I got June in my head because that's my kids birthday. January 4th. January 4th, like in two days, three days. And today what I'm doing is I'm building the registration process so you can come watch the free web class. It's just a web class and I'm teaching people how to set up these kinds of automation pieces. It's kind of the cool preview of what's really inside there but you'll still leave being able to do stuff. And so anyway if you want to go to SecretMLMhacks.com, secretMLMhacks.com and that's where you can register, you can check out the product that I've put together and it's all extremely proven stuff, okay? It's the stuff I do with my own downline and what I did is I flipped it into like a training and teaching model and course so that you can go do the same thing with your downlines. which is freaking awesome. Oh man I'm so pumped. If you love automation, if you realize that you're not unique in your MLM. If you realize you're in competition with everybody else. If you realize that you're selling with the exact same scripts as everybody else. You have the same duplicated websites as literally everyone in your MLM, upline and downline. If you realize that the only tactic your upline's been teaching you is to talk to a whole bunch of friends and family, come check out the course, okay? That's why I'm doing what I'm doing. I was emotionally scarred enough the first time I ever joined an MLM and what happened and how there's still soured relationships that I have because of that first experience. That was like three years ago and I hated it so bad I left my first MLM. I couldn't believe what how, it was extremely embarrassing, and I became that guy at family reunions. I became that guy that friend to kind of stick around from because everyone would be like, "What's your next thing Steven? What are you going to try and get me in here and there." I was like, "Oh my gosh, like if that's MLMN this sucks I'm gone." Okay and I went through and I got really good at these other automation processes, really good at closing people with tons of other ... And I was like there's got to be a way to apply it so I did. And the result was insane and I got tons of people joining my downline who I'd never met, and it's not that I'm trying to take the human out, the human element out of MLM it's still networking, it's still meeting people. But the kind of person that's coming is amazing, the kind of person's who's applying to join my downline, that's insane. Who does that? Anyway, I'm excited. Go check it out secretMLMhacks.com, you can get signed up there, and check it all out so. It's finally time, this is amazing January 1st, I've had kind of this feeling of euphoria a little bit, I've been dreaming about being on my own for pretty much my entire life. And today's the first day, this is crazy. I'm very, very excited and I'm proud of myself. You guys should all be proud of yourself too. Go get real about your goals, what it is you actually want and if something isn't working, have the courage and honesty to nip that and move on. So all right guys. Talk to you later bye.

Go to any major entertainment city like Nashville, New York, or Los Angeles, and you'll see two types of artists -- those who are making a ton of money and those who are broke.

Join the Facebook group here >> Enlightened Entrepreneurial Badasses That's a bold promise, I know. But these two words really did help me just release a lot of head shizzle that was building up. And these words are: "Fuck it". Or "let go" if you don't want to be so crude about it :) Anyway, saying 'fuck it' to stuff does make a lot of things better. This isn't about just taking the 'lackadaisical route' with everything and turning completely into the Dude Lebowski. But more about how we tend to attach so much meaning to SO many in a pretty needless way in most cases. Think about something that's creating struggle right now in your life. A problem, an issue, something that sits in the back of your mind. Can you just say 'fuck it' and let it go? Would it not be pretty cool if you could simply decide to not attach so much meaning to it? I know, it can be hard. There are things you've grown up with and built a lifetime of attachment to. But what kind of person would you be become if you could... let it go and move on? I explain further in the episode. I talk about... What it means to let go and say 'fuck it'. How I've said 'fuck it' in my life to great effect. What 'attaching meaning' to things actually means. Why your resistance to saying 'fuck it' is something you can choose to override. How attaching your happiness to external things is a recipe for disaster. How letting go is something you can choose to do and how amazing it feels. This is a subject I am deeply passionate about because I have used it to great effect in my own life after attaching meaning to so many things previously.

What have I done to be worthy? Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence Difficult to see you in this light Please forgive this selfish question, but What am I to say to all these ghouls tonight? She never told a lie Well might've told a lie But never lived one Didn’t have a life Didn’t have a life But surely saved one See? I'm alright, now It’s time for us to let you go 4.5.08 : ... You've been breaking my heart more-so than usual lately. Can I say that and not worry about being victimized by vulnerability? I question this because it is a question. The tears start to splish-splash in the back of my throat when I think of all of the missing face-to-face time. Why does life hand out cheat cards when no one is ever interested in accepting them. The length of your legacy was unfairly snatched short. I've remembered every square inch of your face. With a welcoming smile constantly plastered between your compassionate sidewalk-chalked cheek bones. How could I ever forget a significance such as you. I rhetorically question that one too. Because it is a question. You with your ever constant influenceable face. I'll forever remember your face. I remember the way it used to light up in those pre-cancer days. Getting hung up on the cancer. Because cancer has become my whole-hearted-heavily-hated enemy. But in an attempt to be honest. I barely ever think of the way you looked when it clung to you like a heavy apathetic-overcoat. When I think of you. I think of only you. 4.8.08 : aphex twins - stone in focus Sitting here with these oversized headphones slung atop these surpasingly-sad eardrums. You would have loved this song if you had heard it during your luminous laughing days. How I've fucking wept and bargain-pled for another round of your spectacular laughter. It has always been my most significant song of rememberance. 4.9.08 : ... And it's not until you're choking on pieces of your own nostalgically hemmed-heart. That you remember why you're even smile-broken in the first place. You were one of the luckiest faces to be splattered all over the heart-space. With the inspiration and constant love from a woman that considered you to be an adopted version of her very own pre-existing trio of children. She constructed great elaborate plans for both you and your slung-stalled art career. She believed in you. She adviced you. She pushed you. She loved and listened to you. She made you believe in yourself. 4.9.08 : ... With a blue Sharpie-marked M on the underside of my wrist. All I can do is remember the brilliant heart-bombarding that is known to come on behalf of you. And as usual. My heart capsizes within all of the love that I have for you. 4.10.08 : ... Today is the day to follow in the footsteps of old infamous familiars. Today is the day I'll wear my tribute smile.
