So I was sitting at my computer watching YouTube and I was trying to find some like really
golden tips for like my growth and my future in the YouTube channel.
Speaking, storytelling, I was just trying to find something amazing.
And I came across this guy and he was talking about how like this is, he gave like a tip
or like this strategy that all of the like literally the top dogs in the markets.
So all the people that are dominating their markets, this is what they do.
So I should be like listening, right?
So I started listening, I lean in and he tells me, he's like tells a story, he's saying,
well he basically, he had a client.
This guy wanted to know like how to actually make it so he can have a good day every day.
And then the dude was like, okay, well, what does a good day look like?
So the client was like, oh, if I get, if I make a lot of phone calls, if I make a lot
of sales, blah, blah, blah.
And then the guy was like, whoa, that doesn't tell me anything.
Put a number to each of those things.
So the guy was like, okay, if I make 500 phone calls, 200 sales, this amount of work done,
like that was the numbers.
So basically that's a good day for him.
Like that's a great day for him.
And then he went through and wrote down like all the numbers for a bad day, a good day,
and a great day.
And so I'm just like, oh, whatever, because I just got done with like three great amazing
days in a row where I like recorded very good.
I'm getting better at my recording.
I'm learning a lot of skills like three great days in a row.
So I'm just like, I don't need this stuff.
I'm a man.
I got three great days in a row and I'm going to get a great one in the next day.
So I finish watching the video and I'm just like, okay, whatever.
I don't take any action because I'm too good for that.
I don't need that.
So the next day rolls around and it was not a good day.
Like I got probably half of the amount of stuff done that day than I did the day before.
Even though I still like recorded, I still practice and all this stuff, which in, if
you would have asked me, if I would have had that day like maybe six months ago, I would
have been like, yeah, that was a great day.
But nowadays, no, that's not a good day.
So I'm like, what's, like, I feel like I'm like wandering.
I'm like, well, how do I even know how to get a good day?
And so I'm just like, but I don't put like words to it.
I'm just like, I had a bad day.
And I just kind of acted like it was out of my control.
Like I didn't really, it wasn't really my fault.
Like I don't really know how to have a good day consistently.
And so I just went on with my day and I was like, that was a bad day.
Like, come on, I got to do better.
So the next day rolls down and have another bad day.
Like I still get a decent amount of work done, but it's just not as much as the three days
in a row that I did before.
So I'm like, come on, like why?
I feel like I'm wandering now again.
Like now I'm not going to be making as much progress as I, as I should be.
And now it's going to take a lot longer to achieve my goals if I even achieve them at
this rate.
And then it wasn't until during my like nighttime, pondering session where I literally just like
sit in my room and stare at a wall for like 30 to 40 minutes every day that this thought
popped up in my head.
I'm like, define your perfect day.
That thought literally just appeared in my mind.
And I was like, boom, boom.
Like my heart just pumped and I was like, that's it.
And I remembered that video.
I was like, okay, in the morning I'm going to define my perfect day.
And then I sat there for like five more minutes and I was like, no, screw that.
That's procrastination.
And so I took out my notebook right then and there and I was like, here's my perfect day.
And I literally wrote down every single thing.
Like I have numbers backing it.
And that was last night.
So I have my perfect day right now.
So now I'm way more clear on what a good day looks like.
So that means going into the day.
I can expect that that's the standard.
Like that is what I'm going to be doing that day.
It's a big game changer because now I'm like, okay, well, now I got to do this much.
Like my every day for the past couple of months, I've been literally writing squares, like check
marks kind of to do list.
I don't know if you can see it very well, but I basically like draw squares and then
on the thing, the like what it's called.
And then once I'm done, I check it off.
So it's like a to do list.
And I usually do that like the night before or the morning when I first start.
And like that's good.
But if I don't know what a perfect day is, I can't really tell if this is enough work
for the day.
And then by the time I'm done like working and I close my computer, I'm like already
done.
So I, I just like, I got like the next thing on my routine to do, which is like learning
about how to actually get better at this, which is really important too.
So it's like to find your perfect day.
But before you can even do that, you have to figure out like, what's the one skill that
you have to actually build?
So for me, the one skill that I have to actually build is being great on camera.
And that has a lot of sub skills.
So it's like your influence, your storytelling, your like the way you speak personality, like
what you're saying, everything, like that has a lot of different sub tiers.
But like the one skill is you go down camera.
Like the, the, my, you've heard of the 80, 20 principle where 20% of your actions cause
the most results, 80% of the results.
So my like most important task that's going to cause 80% of my results and 80% of my increase
on skills is this, literally just practicing my recording.
Like sitting in my basement practicing.
So this is exactly what like the main bulk of my day's work should be because that's
what is the differentiator between me and someone who's successful at YouTube.
They are just better on camera.
So I'm sitting there at night, I'm like, okay, well, I know, I know what I gotta do to go
down camera, so I know what needs to be done to get good at camera.
So you just got to practice.
So when I'm going through the first box of the most important thing per day is literally
have an intentional practice.
And I put a number to it, five episodes or five recordings, literally just record five
times intentionally and have an idea of what you're going to like work on before you even
start.
So like literally just I have right here written down on my journal, all of the different things
for a YouTuber.
So it's your story, your personality and the way you speak.
That's like the basic three things.
And then under it, there's different things.
So there's in the way of you speak, there's rate of speech, volume, melody, tonality and
pause.
So that's something I'm working on right now is the way you speak because it's really
important.
There's this guy, Vin Gang, I don't know if I pronounced his last name right, but this
guy's a beast.
Look him up on YouTube and study him because he is an excellent speaker.
I saw a couple videos of him a couple, like maybe a year ago, I didn't really think much
of him, just like one or two like shorts or TikToks or whatever.
So I recognize him, but when he came up on my feed recently, I was actually looking for
these tips.
And this guy's a beast, he's got lots of important things.
And I learned about all of these five different things on the way you speak from him.
And I also learned about vocal training, literally like training your vocal cords from him.
So look into that guy, he's really good.
