1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,400
Today changes are happening.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:10,280
So over the past hundred days I've been podcasting and I've been doing it daily, every single

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,280
day.

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:17,880
In the beginning I was recording short videos because to be honest I was not good enough

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,120
to speak for more than 10 minutes and some at times like four minutes was the most I

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,120
could speak for.

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,800
There was a lot of like small breaks in between.

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:33,640
And so when I moved on and I decided to do progressive overload, so what that means is

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,360
that in the beginning my first episode was probably like two minutes and then I added

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,480
it to three minutes and then five minutes and then 10 minutes and then 15 minutes and

11
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:48,080
then I just after every day, days recording of episode, it just went more and more and

12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,760
more to the point where I got to one hour long episodes.

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,520
And the reason why I did that was so I can actually get to the point where I am skilled

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,880
enough to be able to speak for one hour because in the beginning if you go back to my first

15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,680
episode I could barely even speak for five minutes.

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,680
So that's why I wanted to do that.

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,280
And also because in the beginning when I started posting podcasts, I did it because I read

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:22,160
in a book, Expert Secrets, Russell Brunson said that if you post daily on your show for

19
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,600
an entire year, you'll never have to worry about money again.

20
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,160
So I decided to podcast and post daily.

21
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,280
But then I also wanted to do long podcasts, like one hour.

22
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,320
And that was because when I first started or when I was listening to podcasts myself,

23
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:45,160
I used to like listening to the long form podcast because I was like trying to actually

24
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,040
learn a lot about that.

25
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,440
And so that that was just the type of stuff I preferred.

26
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,560
So that would be the type of stuff I would prefer to make.

27
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:59,640
So that's why I ended up doing daily one hour podcasts up until this point.

28
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,480
And it was very good.

29
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:07,080
I'm very glad I did it because it allowed me to gain all of this skill.

30
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:13,200
It allowed me to increase my like capacity and increase the actual skills that I have

31
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,200
for podcasting.

32
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,280
And as like just from the two minutes that I've been speaking right now, I'm already

33
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,240
so much more fluid and effective with my words than I was a hundred days ago when I first

34
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,240
started.

35
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,480
So I'm grateful that I did it.

36
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,640
Excuse me.

37
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,440
And moving forward, I'm ending that all.

38
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,040
I'm ending daily one hour episodes and I'll tell you why.

39
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,920
It's because I realized that I plateaued.

40
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:44,400
So in the beginning, I was growing a lot.

41
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:50,560
Like I myself was growing, not the podcast, not the channel, but my own like skills at

42
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,960
podcasting was growing a lot.

43
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,920
It was growing so fast in the beginning to the point where literally because I would

44
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:01,240
post I would record and then I would schedule it for like five days later.

45
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:07,920
So by the time I actually posted it live, I had already recorded five more episodes.

46
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:13,560
And I remember looking back like literally just five days ago and I saw the growth just

47
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,560
from five days.

48
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,800
Like I was improving so much, but now it's not so much.

49
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,840
Now I'm kind of plateauing like my graph like skyrocketed after the little bit.

50
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,120
And then it started plateau for my skill level after a hundred days of podcasting, which

51
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,200
shows that there's there's something that needs to change in order to improve.

52
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Another reason is that the quality of the podcast is either maintaining or it's slowly

53
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,560
atrophying because I'm having a hard time keeping up with enough content to say for

54
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,600
an entire hour every single day.

55
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:54,520
Got to the point where I was simply just speaking random stuff just to fill time just to get

56
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,280
to that one hour marker.

57
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,480
Like I kept on looking down at the number, the timer on the screen, seeing how long is

58
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,280
left so I can see how much more I have to talk about.

59
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:12,920
Now just speak on random things and I'd end up blabbering along and speaking on random

60
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,440
random things and to balance it was quite hard to follow.

61
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,880
And so changes are happening.

62
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:27,160
And I have two things that I'm kind of wrestling with either continue daily episodes, but shorten

63
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,400
the link.

64
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:35,200
Like just shorten it to 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes or however long I need to actually

65
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,760
say what I need to say.

66
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:42,200
So maintain daily recording, but not worry about one hour.

67
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Just speak as long as I need to speak to get my point across.

68
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,320
Because like I said, I was just speaking words just to fill the time I ended up repeating

69
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,800
things over and over and over again.

70
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,320
Like I would just repeat this.

71
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,920
Like I kind of have a habit of it now where I'm kind of doing it right now.

72
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,500
So me repeating things over and over and over again was just to fill the time.

73
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:11,960
So if I just loosen the restriction of the one hour daily to daily, but it doesn't matter

74
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,640
how long it is, just like it could be 10 minutes.

75
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,200
It could be an hour.

76
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,440
It could be 90 minutes.

77
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,560
Like that kind of loose thing that could work.

78
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,600
I'm not sure.

79
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:31,160
Or I can maintain the long form videos and just have them every other day or once a week

80
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:37,000
or every five days or every three days, like just lower the frequency.

81
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,520
So right now I have one hour daily, which is one hour long constant frequency.

82
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,400
I can either shorten the frequency or shorten the duration.

83
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,960
So I can, those are the two options I have.

84
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,720
Shorten the time or maintain the time, but have less upload frequency.

85
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,600
So that's kind of what I'm wrestling with right now.

86
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,320
And right now, after this episode, after I'm done recording this episode and editing it

87
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:12,480
and scheduling it, I'll have seven days until I run out of daily posts.

88
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,580
So essentially I have episodes scheduled for seven days ahead of time.

89
00:06:16,580 --> 00:06:22,320
So this episode probably won't post until November 4th and it's October 28th.

90
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,880
So that gives me like seven days to figure out what I'm doing, like seven days to figure

91
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,640
this whole thing out, which is plenty of time, especially because there's massive changes

92
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,920
coming in my own life.

93
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,720
Let me speak on that.

94
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,960
So one of the big changes I'm making is, first of all, I realized that I'm dipping my toes

95
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:44,960
in entrepreneurship.

96
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,000
I'm dipping my toes in the waters of podcasting.

97
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,880
What I mean by that is, let me tell you a quick story to explain.

98
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,080
So when I started lifting weights, it was sophomore year.

99
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,720
And at the time, my goal wasn't really the physique, but let's just say for argument's

100
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,480
sake, my goal at the time was for the physique to build and make my physique and physical

101
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,480
body look better.

102
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,960
So I started lifting sophomore year.

103
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,760
And once I like went a few days and I realized like, oh, I actually like this.

104
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,520
I want to do this.

105
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,080
Then I just devoted my entire life to it.

106
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,440
Like I would literally just come home and make sure that I was just, I was getting a

107
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,880
bed at the right time every single day in order to wake up early because I would always

108
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,920
go to the gym first thing in the morning because that's how I prioritized it.

109
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:43,040
I always like the things I do first in the morning are always my priorities.

110
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:48,480
And that's another thing I want to talk about how I'm not prioritizing podcasting because

111
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,920
it's at the end of the day.

112
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,520
And let me explain, or at least I'm not prioritizing business because it's at the end of the day.

113
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:01,640
But I am dipping my toes or no, let's okay, let's maintain the story.

114
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:08,280
I am going to the gym literally every day in the morning at 6am.

115
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,160
And I just devoted my entire life to it.

116
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,400
Like that's all I cared about.

117
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,880
I would go to the gym, go to school, come home, go to sleep, go to the gym.

118
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,600
That's all I thought about the gym, the gym, the gym.

119
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,520
I went to the gym every single day and I would rarely rest.

120
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,200
And if I did, I just rested just because I needed it.

121
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,080
And I would also make sure that I went to the gym on vacations when I was out of town,

122
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,160
like all this stuff.

123
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:40,480
I basically went full in on the gym and then flash forward fast forward two years later.

124
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,920
I'm just getting into business.

125
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,000
I just realized, oh, I want to get into business.

126
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,320
So then I just dipped my toes into the water.

127
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,680
I just test things out.

128
00:08:51,680 --> 00:09:00,160
I made, tried out improving my skills on website building, programming, other little things.

129
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,640
And then I eventually got to the point of where I tested my skills on podcasting.

130
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,760
And podcasting was the first thing I was actually really serious about and I actually maintained

131
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,560
for over 100 days.

132
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:14,520
And up until today, I'm still maintaining it.

133
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,240
But let's go back to the gym.

134
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,640
When I first started going to the gym, I saw people all around me who were just dipping

135
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:26,240
their toes in the water and they were just like, oh, let me just try this lifting weights

136
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,240
thing out.

137
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,400
Let me just go once a day and see what happens.

138
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,400
And so as a result, they didn't really get much results.

139
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,200
They, they just went once a week and they didn't get much results.

140
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,200
Sorry.

141
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,480
I think I said once a day, but I'm really saying they dip their toes, which means they

142
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,840
only went like once a week.

143
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:53,840
So if you go to the gym like once a week, once a month, every, every other week or something

144
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,120
like that, infrequently, you're just dipping your toes in the water.

145
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,000
You're just trying it out so you don't get very much results.

146
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,040
That's essentially what I was doing with business with podcasting.

147
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,960
I was just kind of testing it out, just doing it.

148
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,560
Yeah, I was doing it once a day, but I was, it was such a small part of my day and I wasn't

149
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:12,800
really focused on it too much.

150
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Obviously, because I never edited, I never did any of like marketing or anything.

151
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,080
I was simply just focused on recording, which I'm grateful for.

152
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,480
Like I said, it improved my actual podcasting abilities.

153
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,920
And I, if I would have to go back and do it again, I probably would do it again.

154
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:39,440
But that, that also means since I'm plateauing, I have to just go all in or and like end everything.

155
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,920
Or I could just maintain this and not get any results, which end everything kind of

156
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,400
seems dumb because I've spent a hundred days building something.

157
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:53,960
Go, maintain this kind of seems dumb as well because I'm not going to get any results,

158
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,720
but I'm putting in like the same output every day.

159
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,600
So that leaves me with one option and it's to figure out how I can actually move forward.

160
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,400
And things that I'm doing is now that I realized I got to invest like everything into this

161
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,520
podcast because I want to get business.

162
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,240
Business is my actual goal, but I know podcast is the foundation to the business.

163
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,880
I want to build a podcast so that I can actually like figure out where to go from there for

164
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,080
the business and actually have traffic.

165
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,400
So that means that I like the podcast is my business for now.

166
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,240
That's my only thing that I am thinking about throughout the day.

167
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,400
So what I'm going to do is I am stopping the gym.

168
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,200
I'm just going to maintain.

169
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,000
And this morning I wrote down, I just mapped out like my plan for the gym.

170
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,280
And right now my current plans and they are subject to change, but my current plans are

171
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:57,640
one, like one day on the gym and then three days off and then one day on three days off.

172
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,880
So basically I go Monday and then I rest for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then I go

173
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:09,400
Friday and then I rest and then like it just one day on three days rest.

174
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,760
And on that one day on, I'm just going to lift the full body, full body, like, and I'm

175
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,480
just going to do supersets.

176
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,120
I actually wrote down all of the supersets that I plan on doing.

177
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:25,320
The way I like figured out my routine is I listed push, pull legs and then listed all

178
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,100
of the workouts that I already do under those columns.

179
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:36,240
And then I literally just went on, I started on the left column and then went and I took

180
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,480
the top one from the left and the top one from the middle column and then supersetted

181
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,480
them.

182
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,760
And then the top one from the right and then the second one on the left and then supersetted

183
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,760
it.

184
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,480
And then just went down the line and just supersetted sets of two.

185
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:55,320
And that will allow me to literally just superset different muscles so I don't have to rest,

186
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,960
which is huge because that will allow me to be extremely efficient in the gym.

187
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:01,760
And a full body.

188
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:07,120
So I'm probably going to be spending like an hour or eight, like probably around an

189
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:13,520
hour or more in the gym, but it's going to be condensed because I'm not going to be spending

190
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,920
like 45 minutes for three days.

191
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,920
So it's different.

192
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,200
It's an hour, one day instead of 45 minutes, three days, which is 45 minutes at the gym

193
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:30,200
is more like an hour and a half because it takes me time to pack for the gym, bike to

194
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:36,560
the gym, shower at the gym, bike home and unpack from the gym.

195
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:38,720
Like all that takes time as well.

196
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:44,220
So one day is more condensed than three days because of the prep time as well.

197
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:45,800
So that's where I'm at with that.

198
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,640
I'm radically changing things and that stems from one thing.

199
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,040
Be flexible and pliable to your plans.

200
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,040
You have to be able to radically change.

201
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,560
And I realized that one of my biggest flaws that I developed over the past couple of months

202
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:11,480
was I enveloped doing daily routines, strict regimented routines in my identity.

203
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,800
Like on, you can go back and listen to the podcast.

204
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:19,080
I was so proud of my extremely disciplined routine.

205
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,640
I did the same thing every day.

206
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,520
And then literally just a couple of days ago, I started realizing like, oh, this is actually

207
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:32,320
not good because this one video that I saw of how routines are making you weak, which

208
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:38,720
that kind of started to make me question because Alex Hormozzi literally almost a billionaire.

209
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,240
I'm not sure how rich he is, but he's like a multimillionaire.

210
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,480
He said that.

211
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,760
And then he also made another routine of called the anti routine.

212
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,520
So I started to realize that my routine is actually like not good.

213
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,240
So that leads me to destroying that part of my identity.

214
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,600
I realized that that was holding me back.

215
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,760
And it took me probably like three or four days to actually get to the point where I'm

216
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:11,160
starting to become comfortable or at least neutral with radically shifting my entire

217
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,720
routine because I'm going to be honest.

218
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,360
Once I saw that anti routine video, I knew I had to change it, but at the point it was

219
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:25,640
like, I was like, oh, I don't know for sure.

220
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,160
Like I, it was still so much part of my identity that I didn't want to change it, but I knew

221
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,640
I had to.

222
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,440
And so what I did was I ended up getting like sick two days ago.

223
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:42,040
And then I ended up just literally incorporating little pieces like fasting with intermittent

224
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,600
fasting.

225
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,760
And then I just literally over the past weekend or today is Saturday, but over the past two

226
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,000
or three days, I literally just did not do my routine.

227
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:59,780
And that was meant to like train me to accept the fact that your routine is not like required

228
00:15:59,780 --> 00:16:00,780
for success.

229
00:16:00,780 --> 00:16:02,960
If that makes sense.

230
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,400
And he said that you like all that remains is the work to be done.

231
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,360
Like that, that just kept on replaying in my mind.

232
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,640
He said all that remains is the work to be done.

233
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,800
Like you have to question like what's going to get you there?

234
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,040
What's going to get you success?

235
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,800
What's going to make you wealthy?

236
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,520
Well, it's the work.

237
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:28,200
So all that remains, like you can add on all these nice little fancy intricate daily routines,

238
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,720
which is what I had done till literally a couple of days ago.

239
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,480
But all that remains that is going to get you successful is the work to be done.

240
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,800
And I hadn't even done any of the work.

241
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,000
I've been, yes, I've been improving my podcasting abilities, like I said, but I haven't really

242
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,840
been improving the quality or figuring out how to actually, I don't know anything about

243
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,080
successful podcasts.

244
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:58,840
Like I'm so worried about successful worldview and all that stuff, which is great.

245
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,400
And I'm very glad I'm doing it.

246
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,000
But I'm not even thinking about how to make a successful podcast.

247
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,680
So that's the work to be done.

248
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,360
That's actually going to get me forward and I'm not even doing it.

249
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:18,160
So what Alex Hormozzi does is he literally just wakes up at 4am, works until 12, and

250
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,320
then like, I don't know what he does after that, but like he wakes up at 4am and then

251
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,680
starts working right there.

252
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:31,680
So what I realized is I still want to maintain a piece of my routine because to be honest,

253
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,600
I'm just not coming conscious that it's still slightly part of my identity.

254
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:43,120
But I also feel like I wouldn't be as efficient at working if I hadn't done the specific things

255
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:44,120
in my routine.

256
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:49,040
For example, right now my daily routine is simply just going to be stripped to the bare

257
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,040
bones.

258
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:58,200
I'm going to wake up, grab a glass of water with all my supplements in it, brush my teeth,

259
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:05,280
go to the bathroom, and then take a cold shower, which the cold shower I feel is really important,

260
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,560
especially because it's a shower.

261
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,480
I want to take a shower because I don't want to feel grimy while I'm doing the work.

262
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,480
So it'll increase the quality of the work as well as the cold shower will actually make

263
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,240
me more focused, I feel.

264
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,840
And then right away after I'm done with the cold shower, I do my meditation, which is

265
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,840
the gateway experience, which that is the one piece that I'm not quite sure if it's

266
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,640
even worth it, but I'm going to do it for now.

267
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,680
And then right from there, I get to work, which to be honest, I haven't even done any

268
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,960
work yet, which I don't even know.

269
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:44,880
My issue is, today I set out time to actually get to work on my computer, but the issue

270
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,800
is I don't even know what to do.

271
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:53,800
So I ended up just researching how to do better podcasts, and I realized that I need to actually

272
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,800
learn about this stuff.

273
00:18:54,800 --> 00:19:01,600
So I ended up buying three books, I believe, about podcasting, and I'm going to read all

274
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,720
of those, and then I feel like my vision for how to move forward after having read those

275
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,600
is going to be way more clear.

276
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,160
So then I'll actually be able to understand exactly what needs to be done.

277
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,960
And then I can just lock in on that.

278
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:21,800
And so then I have to ask myself, all right, shoot, that's another thing that I'm just

279
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:30,840
realizing on the spot that I have to get better at is my videos, even when I script them out

280
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:36,680
slightly, like just write down notes, like my notes, if you're on YouTube watching this,

281
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,440
you can see my notes are like very long, I feel like it would be better if I use just

282
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,160
bullet point notes, just say this, and then this, and then this.

283
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:52,640
And so it's kind of hard for me to follow these notes, so I end up going back and forth, even

284
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,480
though I have notes.

285
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,160
So I have to ask myself, why am I even podcasting daily?

286
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:04,800
If I'm just having low quality, if I'm plateaued, and on rework, I read, I finished reading

287
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,000
the book called rework, and it's a book about business and entrepreneurship.

288
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000
I recommend it.

289
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,000
It's very good.

290
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
I finished it in two days.

291
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,160
It's a pretty quick read.

292
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,520
And they said something like, when you're small, when no one's even listening to you,

293
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,440
when no one's following you, when you are irrelevant and no one's even buying from you

294
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:27,920
as a business or a podcast or a YouTube channel or whatever, when no one's listening to you,

295
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:34,880
you have an extremely advantageous position because you can try out and experiment different

296
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,560
things and no one would be the wiser.

297
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,320
No one's listening to you in the first place, so if you make mistakes, it won't matter.

298
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:48,400
Versus when you're actually big and successful, you can't make as much mistakes because it

299
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,680
actually affects a lot of people.

300
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:57,400
So right, that kind of completely switched my attitude towards me being in this podcast

301
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,440
because I was thinking that I had to make, I had to stay consistent one hour.

302
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,960
And that was slightly because it was part of my identity, but also because, well, yeah,

303
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,880
it was because it was part of my identity.

304
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:13,160
But I'm realizing this is actually giving me a lot of comfort switching off of this because

305
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,800
I can make my mistakes now because no one's even listening to me, which brings me to the

306
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,680
next thing.

307
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:25,360
My podcast is all about documenting the journey and documenting the journey to success.

308
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:31,000
And so one of the things that I wanted to let you guys know along the journey is I want

309
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:37,640
to tell you guys my analytics along the way because I was always curious of how long it

310
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:45,600
took a YouTuber to actually get how much viewers or subscribers they got.

311
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,720
And so one of the things that I want to tell you guys now that I'm completely switching

312
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,440
courses, I want to tell you my analytics.

313
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,440
So I just pulled it up on my screen here.

314
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:09,240
So I have today I have seven downloads, which is actually a lot or seven downloads on my

315
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,040
right now I'm talking about my podcast analytics, seven downloads today.

316
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:21,480
The last 30 days was 281 downloads, which is down negative 22% from the last 30 day

317
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,280
period.

318
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,920
And then my all time downloads total downloads is 987.

319
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:35,280
So probably by the time this video releases, I'll be at a little over 1000 all time downloads.

320
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,960
And then my rolling average subscribers, which is basically the amount of people who are

321
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:46,720
watching a video pretty consistently within the first 24 hours.

322
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:52,360
So pretty much like your average subscribers because they podcast directories don't actually

323
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:56,160
most of them don't actually like record the subscribers or the followers.

324
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:02,680
So it's kind of an average estimate that this my podcast software is giving to me and my

325
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,080
rolling average subscribers is five.

326
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,960
So I essentially have five subscribers.

327
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:15,440
So like giving that into terms I'm more familiar with YouTubers, like like YouTubers who actually

328
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,360
I see is slightly successful or successful to the point where I feel like they could

329
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:24,200
potentially make some money is people who have like 100,000 subscribers or more.

330
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,080
And right now I have five subscribers.

331
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,960
So then that brings me down to my graph from the past couple months.

332
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,240
So July I had 59 downloads.

333
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,120
August I had 313 downloads.

334
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:39,880
September I had 362 downloads.

335
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:46,480
And so far as of October 28th, I have 253 downloads.

336
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,800
And then my rolling average subscribers, July I had four followers.

337
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:59,760
August 6th, September 7th, and then so far in October, I have five followers.

338
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:07,640
And my number one most downloaded video is my trailer, which makes sense.

339
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,800
And that also leads me to another thing I got to change is my trailer.

340
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:17,560
I definitely have to post a new trailer because this one sucks.

341
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,640
And I don't want people to click on my channel and listen to the trailer and be like, oh,

342
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,000
this channel sucks, because I've definitely gotten a lot better.

343
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,320
Like I made that trailer 100 days ago.

344
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:34,320
And then my second most, okay, I'm just going to tell you my top five episodes where number

345
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,440
one is the trailer.

346
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,640
Number two is my first episode called Getting Out of Bed.

347
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,280
By the way, my trailer has 28 downloads.

348
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:46,360
The second episode has 26 downloads, or not the second, the first episode.

349
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:52,680
And then my third most downloaded video episode is called Grounding.

350
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,200
And it's the second episode, which has 18 downloads.

351
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:02,880
And then my fourth is the 20th episode called Today Was a Turning Point, which has 18 downloads

352
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,880
as well.

353
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:11,120
And then my fifth most viewed or downloaded episode is the 11th episode, which is called

354
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:15,000
Remember the Eagles, and that has 18 downloads as well.

355
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,320
And then there's like the top five locations.

356
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:27,920
Pretty much America, Canada, and Belgium are the top three countries in my list.

357
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,080
And that's pretty much my analytics for the podcast.

358
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,120
So then that leads me to analytics for TikTok.

359
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:43,960
I have 34 followers on TikTok and 284 likes total.

360
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:53,320
And then I get usually around a little over 200 views per post that I make.

361
00:25:53,320 --> 00:26:00,440
And then that leads me to my analytics for YouTube, which I've gotten 1.4 thousand views

362
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,360
total.

363
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:07,200
And then I've gotten 32 likes total.

364
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,800
Oh, wait, no, this is all on shorts.

365
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,800
Okay.

366
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,800
So these are my shorts.

367
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:23,000
I've got 4,000 views on the shorts, 32 likes, and then I have nine subscribers in my channel.

368
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,880
And my podcast on my YouTube, because I post my podcast on YouTube as well, the podcast

369
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,560
is very bad.

370
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:38,280
It's got like probably, yeah, it's got 26 views in the past 28 days.

371
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,080
Let me change it to the past 365 days.

372
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:47,240
Yeah, I've gotten 76 views total on my podcast on YouTube.

373
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:54,040
And that's after like a hundred episodes, or that's after like 96 episodes, I believe.

374
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,240
And then I've got like average view duration is two minutes.

375
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,600
So most people don't make it past two minutes on my podcast.

376
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,200
So that's another thing.

377
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,040
If people aren't even listening past two minutes and I have a one hour post, no one's

378
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,540
even gonna want to watch it.

379
00:27:09,540 --> 00:27:14,160
So that is another marker that I need to make some changes.

380
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,160
All right.

381
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,720
So that's like the first couple of things I wanted to talk about.

382
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:28,160
So some benefits to me recording less or less often is more time to research and make higher

383
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:34,120
quality episodes, which is huge, because like I've been saying, there's not like it's very

384
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:40,840
difficult to find enough content to talk about to keep the episode flowing very well for

385
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:48,040
the entire one hour, for daily one hour episodes, which is a big reason why I started reading

386
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,120
Transurfing the third time through so I could get some content to talk about, which to be

387
00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:54,280
honest, I haven't even really talked about it that much.

388
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,520
I have a lot of notes.

389
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:04,360
So I could make probably two or three Transurfing principles, one hour length episodes off of

390
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:08,240
those notes, which is good, but I haven't even used those yet.

391
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:14,000
So then another thing is I had to ask myself, why am I doing this and figure out where I'm

392
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000
going?

393
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,480
And that's going to give me more time to do that in the day.

394
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:18,960
Why am I even doing this?

395
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,560
Well, why am I doing daily one hour?

396
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:22,680
Because it's part of my identity.

397
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,160
So where am I going?

398
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,120
I want to be successful.

399
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:27,240
So is this helping me?

400
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,240
No, it's not.

401
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,400
All right.

402
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:40,160
So today, I actually, in my research on how to get better, I was listening to my friend's

403
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:46,840
episode because I wanted to see what he was doing and see if he was getting successful

404
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,960
because he was in a similar situation where I am and I wanted to see if he was getting

405
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,400
success so I could emulate that.

406
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,480
And what I found is that I actually found some things that he's doing that I'm doing

407
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:58,480
as well.

408
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,920
So I found two big things.

409
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,840
Make truly standalone videos.

410
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:10,360
So what that means is, yeah, making standalone videos where you could get very good benefit

411
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,840
out of just watching one video.

412
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,320
But there's a lot of times where I don't fully explain something.

413
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,560
For example, I've talked about funnel hacking live.

414
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,280
People probably don't even know what funnel hacking live is.

415
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:30,360
It's a business conference by ClickFunnels, which is a software making website.

416
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,480
It's a software to make websites.

417
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:41,560
And the funnel hacking live is an annual business conference where entrepreneurs go and gather.

418
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:48,080
And it's kind of like a rock concert for entrepreneurs with a lot of motivational speakers and great

419
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,640
speakers that go there.

420
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:54,040
And it's like a four day long event.

421
00:29:54,040 --> 00:30:00,760
And I went there a couple, like a month ago and in September 26th until October 1st is

422
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,480
when I was there in Florida.

423
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:09,600
Like that's one thing I have said funnel hacking live in my episodes with the assumption that

424
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,600
people know.

425
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,960
And that's just one piece of information that I want to make sure that people understand

426
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,960
is a standalone.

427
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:22,320
So every single time I say something, I want to make sure that a person who does not even

428
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,280
know what I'm talking about can understand.

429
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:31,320
And I'm sure that there's some things that I talked about in today's episode that may

430
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,080
have not followed that rule already.

431
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:41,360
And then the second thing is get straight to the point.

432
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,080
Quit rambling and babbling to fill time.

433
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:50,560
That's what I was saying earlier in the episode where I just got to get straight to the point

434
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,840
and don't worry about the time.

435
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:58,720
And that will help with the entertainment as well because this is the entertainment industry.

436
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,080
Like I am podcasting to entertain as well as inform.

437
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:07,200
But first and foremost, important is to entertain because if people are entertained, they're

438
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,600
not going to get informed.

439
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,080
So that's very important.

440
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:17,480
And it's evident because in my YouTube analytics, people stop watching two minutes in.

441
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,600
So that's huge.

442
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,480
So a few things to note.

443
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:27,400
I've already said a few of these things, but become flexible and pliable with your plans.

444
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:32,560
Like don't be attached to stay on, what did I say?

445
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,640
Okay, don't be so attached to stay on a sinking boat.

446
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,800
Like if you're on a boat and it's sinking, don't be so attached to the boat to where

447
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,880
you want to stay on it.

448
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,720
You just jump ship and switch to a different boat.

449
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,400
So that's kind of what I realized I'm doing with this podcast.

450
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,600
It's a sinking ship.

451
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:57,280
I'm literally losing followers by the day, even though I only have like five followers

452
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,240
a couple of days ago, I had seven.

453
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,200
But that's like a sinking ship.

454
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,440
So I definitely got to improve the quality.

455
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:13,000
And then another one limiting belief prevents me from doing this is I incorporated daily

456
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,720
one hour episodes to my identity.

457
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,400
And I talked about that the whole episode.

458
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:23,920
So evidently moving forward, I got to do a lot better with my planning out.

459
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,800
And I got to figure out like what to do with this podcast.

460
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:34,080
But today's going to be the first podcast where I don't record a one hour podcast where I

461
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:40,480
don't post a one hour podcast in over like 80 days or 70 days.

462
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,560
Since episode 14, I've had daily one hour episodes.

463
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:50,060
Today's the first day where I am not doing that again.

464
00:32:50,060 --> 00:32:51,760
So that's all I got to say.

465
00:32:51,760 --> 00:33:01,040
I'm moving forward and tomorrow, October 29th is when I'm not going to record an episode.

466
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,000
I'm just going to figure things out because tomorrow is Sunday and I've got like the whole

467
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,120
day to just figure it out.

468
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,320
And then the three books that I ordered are coming on Monday.

469
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,880
And I'm just going to figure those things out.

470
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,400
I'm not going to record until I figure stuff out.

471
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,640
So I pretty much have seven days.

472
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:24,680
I have until next Saturday to realize like what I want to do.

473
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:32,040
And even longer because I'm probably going to end up doing long form like one hour videos

474
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,040
every couple days.

475
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,240
And that brings me to the TikToks and the YouTube shorts.

476
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:43,840
I may maintain three TikToks every day because I post three TikToks every day as well as

477
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,840
YouTube shorts.

478
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,960
I just post the same video on both platforms at the same time.

479
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:55,920
But I may maintain three daily, but I may want to change that because I'm still getting

480
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,840
better at recording those TikToks.

481
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,040
So it is beneficial for me to just get mass out.

482
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:08,080
But like I said, like once I get to a certain point where I'm plateauing, I definitely got

483
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,800
to figure out how to make it better.

484
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,560
For example, edit them.

485
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,840
Like I'm actually seeing some very good success on my TikTok.

486
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:20,600
Like 200 views per video I feel is very good, but actually compared to my YouTube, which

487
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,680
is like sometimes I get zero views.

488
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,640
So 200 views is amazing.

489
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:32,560
And I want to figure out how to make like get thousands or millions of views.

490
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,380
And the way you do that is by editing it.

491
00:34:35,380 --> 00:34:42,320
So I got to start editing those videos and I'm not sure if it's very sustainable to edit

492
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,440
three TikToks every day.

493
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:45,440
Maybe it is.

494
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,680
I don't know how long it takes to edit them.

495
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:52,800
I just pop them into editing software and it'll do it all for me.

496
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,600
So it may actually be sustainable.

497
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:57,600
Who knows?

498
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,920
I'll figure it out on that, but that's it for today's episode.

499
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,720
So expect big changes in the future.

500
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:11,080
Tomorrow, like the episode that I post next, maybe tomorrow, it may be in a week.

501
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,360
Who knows?

502
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:19,560
Because I, like I said, this episode is posting on like the 4th of November and it's October

503
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,120
28th right now.

504
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,560
So I have seven days.

505
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,280
But that's it to wrap things up.

506
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,700
I almost did my outro, but I realized I dropped the outro also.

507
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:44,000
So if you like the content, follow from warm and have a good day.
