Today, I went to the hospital to check up on my lungs.

A lot of you know I used to be really big into vaping.

But a lot of you don’t know that I partake in the greens.

I have been smoking weed pretty consistently for the past 7 years.

Smoking has just been a big part of my life. I love it.

I feel like it helps me with creativity, sleeping, and relaxation.

But there are some negatives that I have noticed…

My anxiety shoots through the roof. I started to feel pains in my chest. And it eats at your money…

My social media plan moving forward is this.

Have a website. Make blog posts. Simple as that.

Having your own website shifts the power/ control of your content into your own hands. When I first started to build a website, I started to notice something familiar... It was essentially having your own social media profile. (Kind of nostalgic to the myspace days).

So this shifted my perspective. Social Media is essentially a big website where people can have their own "pre-built" website within their platform. These platforms do make it easier for you to connect to other people.

But what if you used these social media platforms in tandem with your own website? You have the ability to drive traffic to your website.

I started to shift my focus from these social media to my own website and everything that comes from the website has a place on social media. For example, I can write a blog post on my website. Attach a video or audio to the blog post and sprinkle in some pictures.

That right there is SO MUCH CONTENT!

You have written content. Audio content. Visual content. These all have places on social media i.e Instagram, Tiktok, and Youtube.

All of these can drive traffic to your website.

AND TO MAKE THINGS BETTER.

You don't have to fight with the "algorithm", you make the algorithm work for you. This content is evergreen (well depending on how you structure it). You have the possibility of ranking in google searches. It just feels right for me.

Be Mindful of who you surround yourself with.

In this episode, I talk about being careful of who you surround yourself with. In the past, I was surrounded by a great group of people. I loved and cherished them deeply. They were like my second family.

As life kept on going, I started to notice how complacent I was. The energy around me was stagnant. If I kept continuing down this path, all my dreams would just be dreams.

After some time, I made the decision to leave and I noticed how my life started to change in a positive direction. I started to meet other like-minded individuals.

The people you surround yourself with can have a HUGE impact on your life, so be mindful of who is in your bubble.

One thing that I found too is these people can be found anywhere. I'm not talking just about the physical space, but the online space as well. So if there is someone that has that extra sauce you just love. Check out their content, Look into their community.

But like I said, be mindful of who you follow online as well.

I hope this episode helps you out in some way. If you have any questions, leave it in the comment section below!

I know I can’t possibly cover every aspect in one single video. There are just so many different ways you can make this happen.

Escaping your 9-5 can be very daunting. Especially if you have never done it before.

Before I decided to leave my job to pursue making videos, I was scared…

My mind was racing, anxiety was taking the wheel.

I was thinking that I wouldn’t have enough funds to have a roof over my head and food to eat. Pretty much just to live.

I was raised with a poor money mindset.
