If you could suggest one app, video/strategy, or something to use in 2023 to get focused/live in the moment, what would it be? ____________________ For the last few weeks I've been simplifying my life, cutting out unnecessary tech, etc to be for focus & purpose driven and would love to hear what has helped you thus far.

Hi,Friends ! I Synthesized 10 courses from SkillShare and other paid courses and gained a lot of valueable information that might help some of you out here. Hope it helps ! https://branch-fight-45c.notion.site/YouTube-For-Beginners-e5b602eb15e34cb996f1e2b4cbc06c18?pvs=4

I got sucked down Russell Brunsons funnel and ended up with a 30 day free trial of his software clickfunnels 2.0. It looks and sounds like a pyramid scheme but then he's got a very good reputation so I'm in all honesty just incredibly confused. If someone could explain to me what it is, if they've done it and had success, do you need your own business to use it, would it work with youtube, just any information about it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance peeps!

I hired a full-time video editor this week and I wanted to share my process in case anyone else found it useful. I’m already quite busy running several businesses, and I’m a 3/10 editor at best. I wanted to focus my energy on writing scripts and recording videos for the real estate coaching YT channel I’m launching. So I went looking to hire an editor. I looked at all the usual online suspects and decided to go for hiring from the Philippines. Many reasons for this; good English, good work ethic, high level of education, at a cost of 10-25% of the cost in the US. I’ve previously employed around 20 people from the Philippines: FB/Google ads, admin assistants, and even bookkeepers with masters in accounting. Some were with me for as long as 10 years. I’ll include a link to the job board I use below. I used a 4-step process that took 1 week to find several qualified individuals. I hired 1 for $1,200 per month for 40 hours per week (but got it to zero with Step 5). 1. Post a job (screenshot of post: https://www.screencast.com/t/2RjjmrD6oEjH) 2. Received 37 applicants. Review applicants, review their bio, review their portfolios, etc., and then invite all qualified applicants to interview via a test video edit. I gave them the raw footage for a 10-minute talking head video, with stop/starts, bad lighting, mistakes, with all the warts. I provided them with a few samples of creators I liked and minimal direction. I wanted to test their creativity and editing skills. I also offered to pay them, in advance, for 3 hours at the hourly rate from their profile. I did this to show that I’m serious and not looking for free work. I got 7 to agree to a test edit (6 completed the test, 1 was a no-show, I lost $25 on that one…). The most I paid was $30, the average was $23. (screenshot of invite: https://www.screencast.com/t/ks5ShMvFr) 3. Review the test video edits and invite the top 3 editors for 2nd round of test video edits. For the 2nd round, I wanted to test how well they understood & followed instructions, how well we could collaborate together, and if they were open or resistant to criticism. This was a very details list of instructions. (screenshot of instructions: https://www.screencast.com/t/1FSzECcpvO)
