Needed rest today. Held space. Listened to my body. GOOD. Went to action the B-roll prep and found my PC running on WiFi from a router a country mile away. Spinning wheel of death. Zero updates. Zero footage loading. GOOD. - Exposed a weak link in my setup. Mission today: buy a LAN cable, plug in direct, update everything. Clear the path. obstacles reveal what needs fixing. Now it's fixed. Day 11, let's go. 💪🔌 Who else had a "didn't go to plan" day this week?

This one took me 15 days to complete, but I’m happy to report that in those 15 days I surpassed 100 subscribers😊 I’ve learned so much in the last year (I posted my first video on May 10th 2025) after posting 30 videos - mostly long form. I still have so much to learn, but thanks to this community and my amazing supporters I’m still excited for the YT adventures😀 @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Jaye Brunner @Adam Tinkoff @Ricardo Solomons @Dajana K. @Cat PInegar @Virgil Rucker @Lillie Handy Dominguez

Wow today I took lots of notes and learned so much more about CTR, AVD, WATCH TIME. I hadn't totally grasped it the way Alexa explained on her video. I started really late today so not a lot to say, however, the big aha for me was: Study my own behavior on YouTube and Implement that into my own videos . Excellent advice . ● what I watch ● why I keep watching ● what Hooks grab me ● what makes me click away ● why do I subscribe to certain channels or creators Onward to Day 16 Thank you in advance Cheering Squad Cheering Squad Tags: @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Michael LeJeune @Ricardo Solomons @Jenny Sharratt @Jaye Brunner @Debbie Pearson

As you know, it has been an intense period for me, but I did not quit and I do not quit... I Continue!!! It was almost a month (22 days actually), but I never quit. I talked about it and worked on it daily even though you did not see me post about it. Silence is golden and with that golden nugget, this Day 15 is completed & proof attached.😁 It is important to take care of your priorities and address obstacles that interfere😅. Then there are advancement opportunities that shifts the growth cycle📈. This is what happened in the last few weeks: - served 7 clients (including 2 emergency clients) - started my Skool Community for this pivot & learning everything😁 - updated my profile here twice - took a business trip and this CBS challenge with me😀 - met with in-person & virtual colleagues & collaborators - joined a couple of Skool groups that will benefit this entire career shift of my retirement business (Thanks, @Mike Bayer , @Des Dreckett, @Alexa Saarenoja's new group--all are Game Changers!💥📈🔥) - secured a CRM for this business🔥 - had urgent home roofing repairs done - prepped two trade shows, & done - recorded and edited videos - computer maxed out of memory!!!😨 - prep for in-town guest for business interview of me - and even more I won't mention I'm just documenting for my own reference, but you can enjoy the above (or get exhausted reading it, lol😆). For me, can't stop, won't stop💪🏾. In my past, I hate numbers and do all kinds of creative things with them. But this day, like many of the other days in this challenge, was encouraging. I am going to like the numbers!😍 The ultimate lesson was Alexa's final statement: -CTR brings my clients in -AVD keeps my clients watching -Engagement shows my clients I care That's it! I'm all ready for Day 16--this one is going to be exciting too!😀 Side Info: -Current Niche: Teaching Gift Basket Biz Startups

I was a bit uneasy about recording the video. GETTING STARTED: ●●Started by gathering and testing my equipment. ●● Plan Was to go to a park and record as I walked in wooded area. Didn't go as planned🤣🤪😂 ●●I recorded outside where we have trees because it got late on me and started getting dark. Cats joined me: 😻😻😻 ■ EQUIPMENT USED: ● iPhone Air Mic ● Samsung S26 Mic ● An Aisizon Wireless Lavalier Microphone bought years ago and hadnt used. Charged it. ● AB Shutter 3 - a clicker to start & stop recording ● Octupus Tripod EQUIPMENT TESTING: ■ Ran the following tests on a new iPhone Air and a new Samsung S26. ● #1 TEST : iPhone Air Mic Quality ● on tripod on kitchen counter ● walked around kitchen & living room, ● TV music on. ● RESULTS: quality is only good close to it, heard a bit of TV sound. ● iPhone Air does have a noise Correction option for after recording. ● #2 TEST: iPhone Air with Aisizon Wireless Lavalier Mic Quality ... ● Receiver connects to phone ● Lapel Mic on my shirt. ● Walked around kitchen & living room ● TV music on ● RESULT: Sound was better than iPhone Mic & didn't hear TV sound at all. AWESOME. ● #3 & #4 TEST: Samsumg S26 Android - Repeated the 2 Tests above ● RESULTS - were very similar DECISION: Record with iPhone Air & Aisizon Wireless Lavalier Mic NEXT - PLANNING: Watched Alexa's Day 13 Video and read Alexa's email from May 8th, with the 5 Step Action Plan below to write down and use to record with Bullets. So our first videos are not to be reading the script with a teleprompter the bullets are for a guide. The Action Plan Script your next video using this method: 1. Hook (5 min) 2. Key points (10 min) 3. Sub-points (10 min) 4. CTA (3 min) 5. Transitions (2 min) Total time: 30 minutes. Then film it. Don't refine the script. Don't rewrite it. Just film. MY PLANNING TIME: ● It Took about 30+ minutes to do these on paper. ● I then Had ChatGPT finalize them so I could refer to them on my Android phone. RECORDING LOCATION:
