Show Notes:

Today I was trying to track my core 4 and if you don't know what core for is it's part of the wake up Warrior program part of that whole system and wake up Warrior is it's a it's a fantastic program it allows you to use certain tools that will break certain things down and yeah you can actually look at what's wrong with either yourself in relationships your health your business and find certain lesson certain things that you want to had as a result come out of that whole exercise and these are there is various tools that were given as as we go through the wake up Warrior program one of them is a app that allows us to track decor for it allows us to track the body being balanced business and from that we can also say knew how we felt about the day and it it also tracks when we completed everything so when I was going through Kings kit they give us access to a tool that allows us to do all of that and also it's completely integrated with creating stacks and also going through the Four Keys and one door and you're setting your targets and everything so it's it's completely Norton entire software product that allows us to do all of this and it it helps us it helped by managing us so we know what what it is that we have to do we understand that and we get up in the morning we do our core for retract that we do our stack we track that and we go out and we do what we're supposed to do as far as hitting are keys for the day or for the week and then getting that one door once you do all that everything is tracked for the week and then we go through what's called a general's tent and the generous check is is literally a way for us to review what's happened during the week and get back on track so if we slip at some point during the week we can get back on track well there's a there was an app for $4 for the public or forward in all that I was using that and then that was the access for that was removed you have to in order to continue to use a lot of these tools you have to pay for it and the price was pretty at least for me the price was pretty high so I found that there was another app called warrior book that was allowing me to do the same thing but had a minimal effect or a minimal instant of the full software and now I it looks as though the people behind Warriors and all that has removed access for that app as well at that app was a free app and now that I go into it it just spins it it just shows the at The Shield used to in Warrior and then it just has a spinner so I told me a few things either one they are making some updates on the on the app and basically broke the app to there's some updates on the back end where the app is connecting to and they've broken something 3 same scenario as number 2 but they said you know what we're going to remove access for that specific app and then afterwards we will remove that app from the App Store so there's a few scenarios of how this is not working and any time any of them can be true so I don't know but I was relying on this app to track my core 4 so now aah as if everything is being removed from new from me is part of the warrior program but if I take a step back and look at everything I can apply what's happening to my entire life or my relationships or my business and really think about him what happens when everything is being removed everything is being taken away what do I do what do you do and as a as a US Marine we are taught to adapt and overcome and that may be true for every Branch maybe every Branch teaches that that's what I was taught so we adapt and overcome how can I adapt to this specific situation and overcome it well I have a drummer I can use my trailer I can leverage that and be able to track my core for using the journal or I can use a service like Trello or I think there is a another one like a sauna these project management type Services you can go to Trello Trello.com and create a free account you can set it up however you want and it basically uses a what we call the agile method and so you can create cards that are specific to certain things that have two that have to flow that have to go through certain actions have to go through specific flows so I can use that or I can also Leverage What I already have on my phone and that could just be some of these apps that I have there's one that that I have is that's not it there's a app called today and today is this app allows you to build any habit you want and I've already built that habit of doing my core for everyday but I like to track it and what I would I also like to do is go back through and look at the score for my core 4th and also everything else there's a score of scoring system that we apply to the Warrior's Way which is their scoring for core for going for your stocks going for your forties and the one door so the scoring for all of this and we track it I know we we can see okay am I hitting my numbers every single week if so then I'm operating at at the top level where I should be and then it also allows us to look at it and say okay if I'm operating at 100% And I'm getting a lot of shift done then maybe what I should do is increase my targets increase my vision expand it and start setting extremely Higher Goals and see if I can hit those those goals hit those targets leverage what you already have a lot of us already have these things I can't remember if I paid for his app called today it is a habit tracking app and allows you to set up any kind of habit you want you can apply a an image to to The Habit and then allows you to set how many times per day you want to check in for that habit how many times per week if it's a daily thing to go into the settings and there's a frequency we have frequencies there's daily weekly monthly you can select what days you want to be able to check in and allow multiple checking per day so you can turn that on and then how many times each day you want to check in I can scroll looks like I can looks like it's going all the way up to 99 maybe I'll see to 100 so 100 times a day is what you can check in for whatever habit you might have and this might be because you have a your dick at you smoking that was one of the things that I had spoken about with the Man in the Mirror by Jesse you Jesse was chewing tobacco and over time he tried different ways of quitting shoot and so he would that he found a way to say I will quit until the next time I have a craving to chew and what I will do is I'll start doing push-ups whatever using that mentality using that frame of mind you can actually use something like like this today and check in multiple times per day so you might you might have 100 Cravings per day never know so it allows you to do that it allows you to track as many habits as you want the other app that I have allows you to track your escape from bad habits for your reprogramming from bad habits and that is I am sober this app I am sober is what I've been using when I decided back in 2018 that I was going to not drink or at for a little while I had a really bad hangover I was like you know what take a break and maybe in a few weeks or a few months or whatever I'll I'll go back to drinking again and so I used this app I found it I use it and I went for months before I had a few beers and yeah and then that I picked it back up January 1st I went back to not drinking again and now it 2 be completely sober for the entire year so we'll see how did the app actually holds up I so far I'm doing very well with it and I like it the reason I like this specific is because when you go to add new addictions or they call it addictions you can call it whatever you want but they have all these different things that you might be wanting to get rid of it as a bad habit alcohol and cigarettes drugs beer booze there's even stuff for like cookies and gambling gluten junk food meat and dairy there's there's a lot social media so there's there's a lot here and you can create a custom addiction so what you do is have with this one you basically that you make a pledge twice a day you pledge in the morning and pledge in the evening pledge that you're going to stay sober from that addiction for the day and then when you go through and review your day you get to say yes I stuck to in not drinking yes I stuck to not smoking or whatever it might be and then you can put in what you did for the day they have a bunch of checklists you can just check off what you did and then put in some notes leverage what you have these are just a couple of the apps that I use and now I'm going to have to go into the app today and yeah and put in my core 4 and set that all up so that I can leverage it as I'm basically adapting to the situation that the access for warrior tools that were provided are being removed access to those tools are being taken away so I have to adapt and overcome that situation and continue to Leverage What I currently have that's mainly it if you are in the same situation where you find that certain things are are being Stripped Away or you're losing access to a relationship with someone that you need to maintain a relationship with let's say it's near if you're a real estate investor or realtor and you have a relationship with a title company but so you have a relationship with someone that works at the title company and they are leaving to do something else maybe they're not going to another Title Company maybe they're just done with pulling title and and doing all the time well at all you can do is is a doctor that situation overcometh by establishing a new relationship with someone else that's at that title company or find another Title Company it depends on what your situation is so just take a step back from everything that's happening and whatever is being removed from you or Stripped Away or taken away really it's not the end of the world all you have to do is take a step back and look at the situation as a whole and then adapt to your situation as it's happening Andover, just find another solution to that problem so we'll see you tomorrow I am experimenting with trying to get these episodes out in the morning we'll see how this goes today is the first day that I put push this out in the morning so we'll see you tomorrow

I talk about going back to basics and focusing on rebuilding and/or strengthening your foundations in yourself, relationships, and business.  We have to do this periodically when things start getting out of control.

Alright so today I am starting to feel the farm starting to get the the symptoms of something I'm starting to catch something I don't really know exactly what it is but I'm thinking I might be coming down with a cold or maybe a flu or something I don't know anywho today I'm going to be talking about going back to the basics going back to your foundations and building the foundations because I've run into this myself where start doing all these things trying to build so many systems that it starts to get complicated and things get integrated completely and try to train someone on how the systems work it becomes cumbersome in what it is that they have to do and what the process is in a lot of it yes it does come down to you it comes down to the person. Is putting all that in place it's because once we have mastered a lot of the basics a lot of the the simple ship we start adding to it we start building a pond it's and it's just like you're learning something new near you start with lesson 1 and then listen to build on lesson one so on and so forth we get to a point where we've built up what we have as far as our systems or processes everything make sense to us but we have no documentation to explain to someone else how this stuff works and soap this is where I'm at now where where a lot of it is not documented fully words not documented at all and I'm trying to add an orange and black newshit things that I know will work for that for me inside of my life inside of my relationships inside of my business going to show for it and it's too complex for a lot of people and a lot of times it's it's just too much so when that happens when you start seeing the signs of that occurring in your life in your relationship in your business where things are just trying to get out of control then it's time to bring it back to the foundation bring it back to the basics and build on that and it's okay to take a step back periodically and you look at everything that's that currently working for you that's currently being built and run for you either manually or automatically a lot of these things you're going to have automated or delegated out and you have to look at it you just take a step back just chill take a step back and look at what you've built and try to look at it with a detailed I see what your what's what does streamline is in and see if you can fix it seems see if you can actually improve that streamline and start chipping away at things that don't make sense that don't need to be there it's okay where I'm at right now in in my business I'm adding too many things and I need to bring it back pull back like I'm doing and and have it set for another date and set it for sometime in the future I am running a CRM on one system on one platform and it has my websites that actually runs my websites as well as holding my sellers holding my fires it has all that information plus it has a new creation with a marketing system where I can pull a list of properties and even a buyers we are people that have bought property cash and I can identify them by their by are private individuals or by businesses from that I can actually send out letters I can send out a marketing campaign and get in touch with them that system works wonderful now I'm trying to add an a a new CRM for the retail side as a realtor trying to use a separate CRM and then from that I have my veteran agent. Com which is hosted on clickfunnels what I could have done is posted my federal agent on the system that I currently have for my CRM that the investor side is using and also have the CRM that I'm using currently for the investor side and just tagged things for the realtor and I say that I'm stuck I'm stuck in note taking a step back from my titles rights are the individuals the brands that I've developed taking a step back in and I'm looking at them individually so there's the investor side so that's the veteran investor and then there's the agent and that's my veteran agent those two Brands can actually work on one CRM system one platform but I thought okay let me keep it separate let me put a CRM together or you find a CRM that I can use as a realtor and build in all this marketing and all these different tools that the other platform already has but maybe I can do it at a low cost or maybe no cost then I'm thinking you know what I could probably just built a whole new system build it myself near write the code everything and building all these new features and everything that would take care of the CRM that would take care of you both sides of the business so it would take care of the investor decided to take care of the real I could build in marketing so I can build in email marketing I can build in using some apis I can hook into the yellow letters if they have an API for some other marketing services that are out there they may have some apis that I can hook into and say Here's a list of properties and addresses and names and everything that I need to send a letter out to and here's my content and I just went with a click of a button send it over and you provide them my payment information I could probably do all that but one that would take time to have something that's already built I'm paying for it I've been paying for it for about 2 years now and it has all these things already done it's it's built it's done I don't have to worry about anything else so why am I trying to come up with a new CRM a new tool something that I can use for email marketing and for sending out letters and all this and that when I already have a system that does that and I had to take a step back and really look at him and say a prayer where am I currently with my business and my stretching the business out too much and you're trying to do too many things at once should I just bring over everything you use the CRM that I already have for the realtor something I've already built it the sights on clickfunnels not done and having to move that information on movie the sites the way it looks over to the old cyst on you to the current system it's not going to be the way I want it it's not going to look the way I want because the current system they have a specific templates that the provider gave us they said here's a list of different designs for finding a buyer here's a list of designs for finding Sellers and the system is flawed because I want to be able to control more of the website I want to be able to do more on the website and make it look the way I wanted to look make it function the way I wanted to function and I even looked at their underlying system that they're using and I actually written code for that system before and I sent them an email said hey look you don't have a Blog feature for your websites are you currently building one if not I can build one for you or look on YouTube and find someone that's already built a Blog module for that system for that platform soap I'll have to go back and see if if they've made any progress if not then I will continue to use it the way it is I'll have to deal with some of the functionality that is missing out of it and find find a way to go back to the basics and really you don't need if you're if you're new to real estate if you're new to wholesaling Fix and Flip whatever if your new realtor even you don't need all these sophisticated systems you don't need all these are really cool tools you can really run your business with a notepad attend a phone done we tend to rely on the systems and it's it's good that we do because these systems make the business run a little bit smoother it helps us to stay on tracking and really stay focused with what it is that we're supposed to be doing for the business or in the business and you should not be worried about working on the business you should be worried about working in the business when you're working on the business you're basically setting up systems you're setting up automation all that stuff that's something that I enjoy doing but at the same time I'm like I've done it so many times I kind of want to get away from it and actually work in the business actually want to be speaking with sellers I want to be speaking with my buyers and negotiating so if you're in that stage if you're coming to real estate for the first time maybe this is the year that you decide you want to have Financial Freedom and you're picking real estate because real estate creates the most millionaires probably on a daily then at than any other industry don't quote me on that I don't know the actual statistics on what new how many millionaires are made everyday and all that but it is true if you stick with it if you do what you're supposed to do if you stick to the basics and you you build your foundation you will be successful you will eventually become a millionaire it's not something that happens overnight definitely work on building on the basics work on building your foundation eventually yes start building in the automation start delegating start building in systems that you will manage you instead of you managing your systems and then over time it will be a little bit complex to someone else looking in but for you it's understand what's going on in for everyone that's in your business in your company they will also understand their role what what their role plays in and how every roll everything position actually at work Smith together. How they integrate together to make the business or help the business run the way it should by that point your business should be no longer out of control it should be a well-oiled machine one book that I would recommend reading and I might actually go back and read it again it's Traction by Gino Wickman and this book actually breaks down how how to really build your business so that you understand your KP eyes you understand and if you don't know what KP eyes aren't they are key performance indicators you understand all the numbers for your business you understand how the business should be running and it itch at they use a system that they developed called the POS system and its believe it is the entrepreneur operating system something like that and they heard from you all these tools that you use to actually have a company that runs efficiently and effectively and overtime if you followed that POS system and you follow everything that they teach in the book your business can grow exponentially in Revenue maybe not size as far as you know how many people work at that company but exponentially rather you can actually grow that business tremendously so definitely check it out I'll put a link to the book in the description and that is traction by Gino Wickman there is another book like a follow-up book to that so I'll put that one in description as well other than that again all I can say is when things are starting to get out of control thinking you're adding so many things and if you take a step back you look at it it's a complete mess it's time to go back to basic time to you rebuild your foundation make sure that the foundation for your business for you really for yourself as an individual for your relationships and then for your business make sure you build that foundation and that it's strong without that the entire things going to fall apart so we'll see you tomorrow

Show Notes:

So I am back to trying to transcribe my podcast using the Google notes voice typing I've been going back and forth using it because for some reason when you leave the the browser and it actually now that I think about it and it makes sense as you leave the browser to go back into GarageBand The Voice typing stops it stops recording your voice and stops transcript and if you leave that tab to go off and and do go on to another tab to pull something up again it's going to stop recording your voice and transcribing show what I am going to try and do is maintain this one tab for Google Notes Google Docs and keep it running so one thing I wanted to sure today is what I learned about yesterday and then did some homework today I started learning a little bit more about this product service today and played around with it and I can tell you I can see this being used not only to promote your podcast or maybe your business but I can see it being used as kind of like a way to sell more product and what I'm going to be talking about is something called audiograms All right we have Instagram and Facebook we have Twitter all that there's all these social platforms and they all have different formats on how we are content so you have Twitter which is a microblog 140 characters you can put in links to videos links to music links to new podcast showing at airport and then you've got Facebook which is a more it's a deeper relationship that your building with your friends and allows you to post longer-form content and then you've got Instagram that allows photos and videos and if you do your post it's a one minute video If you do a story then it's a 15 minute 15 second video in your story I would think Facebook probably has the same thing that show an audiogram I guess I haven't learned the history of this thing but just from the name I can kind of infer what the history could be where they take audio clips and in the idea of Instagram and put it together an audio clip basically overlaid with an image or a video and then you upload that and the video would be there's no audio from the video itself you would just have you maybe someone speaking like an interview or something so I learned about this from Shannon Hernandez I was talking about that this guy yesterday he's called the Shan man and he is a broadcaster podcaster podcast producer and he sure is a lot of knowledge on YouTube to learn more about him and find his links go to yesterday's episode which I believe is episode 105 and go to the Deep episode 105 not the bonus which I meant talk about that in just a second so he he actually revealed what he uses and it's called audiograms and he uses an app called headliner and I spoke about it very briefly yesterday headliner is at basically allows you to upload your audio MP3 allows you to upload back and allows for up to I believe 2 hours of audio and then from there you can select clips from that play around with the audio see what what Clips you want to actually use and then from there adding your images after that you start playing with the timeline you start putting in it does a pretty good job on transcribing the audio so that when you go through on the timeline you can actually update the at the verbage or that the text that comes up from the transcription you can actually update it to make sure it's accurate and then move things rap once that's all done you can select a wave image basically knew how audio I would normally look at you can select from different image Styles and then put that on the total video layout and you get to play around with this thing and they go ahead and produce in mp4 file for you to download or save it to your Google drive or Dropbox disservice completely free I actually went to their website I checked out how is it free right now and the reason it's free is because it is still going through the development stages and so they are improving the service overtime analytics about how certain features are being used and so if the transcription gets updated then they know okay maybe they have to update the transcription code just a little bit more tweak it so that it is more accurate over time and then the same with some of the other features that they have fantastic service fantastic I did find a an alternative to headliner call wave and that's wavves so you can go to wave. Co they also have a free account they do have paid levels in your paid services and it's a subscription-based so they do have a free version of it but only allows you one minute of video work one minute of audio until you can play around with each platform I'm sure there are other platforms out there that allow you to create these audiograms it is fantastic for posting maybe a minute of your pot I take a few images from your podcast if you are doing a video podcast or if you have video associated with your podcast to take stills of what was happening and applied to the whole thing and it's kind of like a slideshow going on with the audio playing from your podcast and you can have multiple clips if you want I can see this being used not just to promote the podcast but I could see it being used kind of like a video sales letter and your kind of like a commercial right commercials are basically threw video sales letters into you and talking about why this product is so great and why you should buy it and if you by now you know you get the Snuggie and the book lamp for free and call now it's 20 bucks so this this kind of service I would say use it now before they start charging a lot more for it I don't know if headliner will have ever charge for their service I'm sure they will at some point yeah and definitely take advantage of it if you are a podcaster I could definitely see this being a tool to use maybe on a weekly basis just highlight a specific episode for the week and posted to Instagram Facebook you can post it on LinkedIn Twitter just about anywhere and they give you different swearnet based on the social platforms that you will be posting to so this is a fantastic service definitely go check it out headliner. App or wave wave. Co co definitely go check those out so that that's that work with the audio ground that's something that I learned about briefly yesterday and then today I really kind of dug in and created my own video of just my podcast image and then some audio from yesterday's podcast from yesterday's episode I just took 15 seconds put it in there basically just to play around with it and see how it works you definitely want to make sure that when you are uploading your audio you already have your Clips identified or or maybe what you do is that you take a sample of your clip from your audio and put it into a new file and that way that way you can have the MP3 already set with you're at with the the audio that you're going to be using And she definitely play around with your episodes in and see exactly what Clips you want to use so that's that's it for the audiograms I'll put some links in the description for the show and also yesterday I was saying that I had recorded an episode didn't like how it felt he was just putting it out there saying that this is going to be the the show for today at working for yesterday and show re-recorded at the episode put that one out there where I was actually sharing the information that I had learned about the shame and Shannon Fernandez and then I decided you know what I will go ahead and and release the episode that I recorded previously as just a bonus and I've done this before where I would record something and I didn't really feel good about the the episode it just didn't go well for me or something didn't sit well and so I would delete the entire audio and record all over again so what I'm going to try and do is even if it's audio if it's like a shity topic whatever I'll just put it out there as bonus content there's there might be something inside that bonus content that will benefit you and it might be something that you're interested in for me I want to make sure that I'm providing you with the at the best value that I can deliver so that is really what I have to say about yesterday and that's it I hope you enjoyed it. There was some some great information on today's episode I'm going to play around some more with the headliner app and get at least one video up on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and see how I can play around with that will see you tomorrow

This is content that I recorded prior to The Shan Man.  I was not completely sold on how this episode came out and didn't want to publish it and leave it the way it was, so I decided I would provide it as a bonus episode.

You should always be creating new content, ideas, thoughts, etc.  In today's episode I talk about being consistent in your creativity and not worrying about sharing that information.

Today I learned some things from The Shan Man - Shannon Hernandez; a radio broadcaster, podcaster, and podcast producer.  He's sharing a lot of valuable information about podcasting on Youtube and I talk about two videos in particular about having a schedule and burnout.
