@Stephen G. Pope It's clear by how active you are that you're working your ass off. I apologize if you've already said it somewhere, but I'd love to hear how much time and effort you're putting into the "business" as you grow it. I am getting my own Skool ready, and I'm going to focus more on marketing and sales ( less theory and more here's how we do it right, even on a budget and even with no resources ) and one of my big reasons for launching this is to fight back against the massive wave of "work an hour a week" and "make $100k a month from the beach in Bali" that is so pervasive these days. You seem to be doing it right. How can we help educate people more on how much work this takes and give them the basic building blocks to grow sustainable companies that aren't, as we mentioned in another post, based on trickery and cash grabs?

I feel great right now, just finished my YouTube video. But, last night and earlier today I felt quite anxious. I've always been a bit anxious before I record, though the reason why has changed overtime. That resistance whatever it is, is still something you need to push through (if you want a personal brand). In the beginning it was about my looks, how I talked, my background, cameras, lighting etc. Now it's because a lot of people see my videos and I want them to be very good. I want to help people. But either way I'm anxious, but I've learned to live with it. I must deal with it, if I want to full-fill my mission and vision. Which is to help build a world where everyone has the tools and resource to reach their maximum potential. Mission and vision does everything for me, it pushed me past any selfish insecurity or anxious feeling that keeps me from helping my tribe. At each step of your content creation journey you'll hit resistance, tap into something bigger that gives you no choice but to overcome. A little anxiety is nothing compared the feeling of letting your people DOWN. Anxiety < Guilt

How many here do faceless or that is your goal?

My current tech setup causes a lot of friction when it comes to creating content. I use a Macbook Pro, a Sony ZV-1, and a Rode mic. I'm always moving my camera around, having to disconnect and charge it, moving the mic around, camera doesn't work well for streaming, downloading videos from camera is clunky, etc... I would love a seamless setup where: - Camera & mic always stay charged - Files easily download straight to computer - Camera and mic are on dedicated mounts/arms - I can switch camera from vertical/horizontal easily to record reels - Camera records in 4K for streaming/Loom videos/etc I'm open to buying a new desktop (Apple preferably), camera, mic stands, etc. Just curious what everyone uses. Thank you!

Hello, I don't know about you, but personally, I hate social media. And yet, I realize that I'm missing out on many opportunities to generate income. Apart from advertising (which helps attract prospects without having to specifically go on Facebook, Instagram, etc.), there are many ways to build a relationship with someone and invite them into our universe (community, lead magnet, etc.). I'm therefore thinking about integrating Messenger into my exchange and "social selling" process to start with, but when I log into Facebook, my hair stands on end. :rofl: Just the interface and seeing the stupid videos annoy me. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: One trick is to disable all phone notifications (well, I've been doing that for over 2 years now ^^). I also decided to leave the groups where I never interact and to remove the likes from pages that don't make sense to me. And you, what are your tips for using social media for prospecting without ending up wasting 20 minutes on a silly video or answering Aunt Danielle about the reasons that led her to dye her hair green?
