The Jerry Banfield Show

Are you a goal oriented person? Ever since I was young, I was an extremely goal oriented person. Whether it was getting straight A's in school or buying my first car, I always found a way to accomplish the goals I set for myself. However, after I achieved my goal I only received a brief moment of joy for all my hard work and sacrifice. So, what did I do? I set new goals for myself! When I first started working online I wasn't making any money. I created a website to help people with gaming addiction and I was mentioned in the local newspaper and even a website in China, but this wasn't enough. So, I made it my goal to make $1,000 in a month online. After I achieved this I wanted to make $2,000, then $10,000. It didn't matter how high my income rose because I wanted more. Goals sucked the life out of the moment and made today seem like a means to getting to tomorrow. Fixating on goals caused me to miss the simple things going on around me, and neglect my health and well being. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

Do you choose to love or hate each moment? You can either love or hate each moment you experience in life. It doesn't matter what you did in your past or what you may do in the future, you have the choice to love and embrace every moment. In the past, I would often choose hate. Whether I didn't get my way or thought something was unfair, I found myself constantly rejecting the moment. All this did was bring more hate and constant pain and suffering. When you hate someone else you are not only hating the things you perceive to be different from you, but you are also hating the things that are similar. So today, I ask you to choose to love the moment and the people who surround you. A life of love and service is very rewarding both physically and spiritually. Thank you for taking the time to be here, and I appreciate your feedback!

Do you want a better job, career, or to feel better about your work? I have three tips that have helped me improve in both my work and as a person.

1) Give an honest effort. Most people spend so much time complaining about their job, how overweight they are or how much they dislike their friends and never try to make a change. If you don't like your job or the people you work with, find a new one!

2) Stop complaining. Complaining takes effort and gives you a negative mindset. Instead of complaining, send out job applications every time something irritates you at work.

3) Encourage others around you. If you are stuck working at a job you dislike, instead of obsessing over it encourage others around you. My wife has been very supportive of me even when I wasn't making much money. Now I am in the position to be the sole income earner!

Does getting sick make you angry? I used to get sick all the time because of stress from work, drinking too much, and not eating well. Getting sick usually forced me to miss activities I had planned, and this irritated me. Now that I am making it a priority to stay healthy, I rarely get sick. Eating healthier and exercising everyday has done wonders for my health. Since I know I am taking better care of myself, on the off chance I do get sick I no longer feel guilty about my bad habits. I no longer bring the pain and suffering from my past to make me feel worse when I get sick. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

1) Use Google Hangouts On Air for free web cam and screen capture.

2) Use the YouTube Video Editor to combine the best of your existing content. If you have a video with a great introduction, use it for your other videos!

3) Use Creative Commons videos to create compilations. Top ten videos, compilations and lists are very popular online. Take the best (or worst) of other people's videos and create a top 10!

4) Record yourself playing video games using a capture card. Video game footage is one of the top searches on YouTube and if you are playing either new games or provide entertaining commentary, it is easy to get views!

5) Use Google AdWords to accelerate your videos placement in organic search. Advertising your video is a great way to get your video noticed, and this bump in traffic will tell YouTube to rank your video higher!

6) Create long videos for dedicated viewers. Vines and other short videos might get you your 15 minutes of fame, but longer and more informational videos give your audience a chance to get to know you. If you are an expert in a certain area, consider creating a course on Udemy to direct your YouTube viewers to.

7) Use freelancers to create helpful and informational content for you channel. Give your audience the information they want!

When you have a new idea, what do you do with it? Do you get to work on it right away? I have had a lot of new ideas being an entrepreneur online, and in the past I would either begin work on them right away or tell myself I could not accomplish them. It was either one extreme or the other. Now, I have a 24 hour cooling off period before I begin work on a new idea. I noticed that new ideas were interfering with my daily work. It was always tempting to work on something new and exciting rather than solving a difficult problem or finishing a project. Online entrepreneurs have a bad reputation for not being able to complete projects, and I have seen this first hand with myself and others. Taking my time to evaluate new ideas allows me to stay focused with my current work and better weigh the pros and cons. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

Does your past bring you pain or gratitude into today? I changed my past from an instrument of torture, to something that consistently brings me knowledge and gratitude. Most of my life I thought I was a collection of past occurrences. I characterized myself based on what jobs I had, my family name, groups I was a part of and the amount of money in my bank account. However, how are all of these things a part of who I am in this moment? How can I be defined so simply by these past events? It turns out my past was running my life in the present. When I would be presented with a choice I would often fall back to past behavior. This brought me consistent pain because I was not proud of my past behavior. So instead of obsessing over my past behavior, I try to live each day like it's a clean slate. Instead of using my past to define who I am as a person, I simply use it to avoid making the same mistake over and over.

Do you have trouble asking others for help? I know I have trouble accepting my limitations as a person. I believe that I can accomplish anything, but this is not true. Everyday I need the help of others to be successful. Whether it be my business or personal relationships, I rely on the input of others to succeed in life. Now that I have had success in the past year with my business, it is harder than ever for me to ask for help. I am grateful for websites such as https://clarity.fm/ that allow me to seek the help of people who been in my shoes and found even greater success. I know that to stay motivated and humble, I must continue to seek feedback and constructive criticism from others! Thank you for taking the time to be here with me today, and I appreciate your feedback!
