The Jerry Banfield Show

How can we end our back injury, neck pain, and headaches for good using all natural techniques?  After my 21 year journey from hurting almost daily to freedom today where even small aches are uncommon and big pain is rare, you might love hearing what has finally worked for me to feel better and enjoy a body that feels great every day today!  What we hear works for any age, gender, and life situation because it is based on stopping what we add to our hurt, giving up our identify as "one that has chronic pain", and seeking to help others get relief while asking for the help we need in ALL areas of our life.  Thank you for reading, listening to, or watching this and I imagine you will find a lot of helpful tips in it!

What does our world look like when a few of us are freed from student loan debt by the generosity of others and then we pay that forward for life?  With your donation at https://www.gofundme.com/debt-free-2019-vs-law-grad-school-student-loans we will find out together!

Our story begins in 2002 where I had no debt and began borrowing money first for a bachelor's degree from the University of South Carolina which I finished in 2006 followed by a master's degree completed in 2012 at the University of South Florida in Tampa.  My wife began the same journey in 2003 with her bachelor's degree from Boston University followed by finishing law school in 2012 at Stetson in Saint Petersburg.  We both took every scholarship and worked multiple jobs to minimize the amount we needed to borrow.

17 years later we have made $100,000+ in payments with no end in sight as our balance today is $193,493.  Our minimum payment is $2039.40 a month with the United States government receiving the majority of that as interest.  At this rate, our children will be finished with college before we have paid off our own loans.

How many others are in the same situation as us or worse?

Can we give everyone else hope by successfully funding this?  So far on GoFundMe, not one campaign appears to have been successful in paying off a large amount of student loan debt.  With one example, we give everyone else hope and more ...

What if a way out for all of us is as easy as building momentum in helping each other?

Imagine my family having $2000 a month to help others pay off their debt instead of paying it on our loans.  Imagine those we help paying it forward to help others.  In 10 years, we imagine giving $250,000 to help others pay off their student loans and feel immense joy when we compare this future to making the same payments on our own loans.

With just a single donation, our collective effort to free even one family from student loan debt can have a massive impact on all of our finances as that family pays it forward gratefully to more families in the same situation.  We have a dream that one day we will WIN THE GAME OF MONEY TOGETHER instead of competing!  We ask for your help today to be the Divine Intervention in our student loan debt so that we may pay that forward to others and free as many of us as possible from a lifetime burden of student loan debt!

Will you help us be debt free in 2019 by making a donation at https://www.gofundme.com/debt-free-2019-vs-law-grad-school-student-loans to eliminate our student loan debt because we consistently feel wonderful and financially free when we give to others?  Your donations will all go towards paying down our student loans and we will provide consistent updates every month showing the payments on all of our social media channels!

We can do our own accounting as entrepreneurs online easily with QuickBooks Self-Employed, an LLC in the USA, and a business bank account using the steps we see in the video!  We begin with deciding whether or not our hobby is really a business including do donations count for streamers as income, how much money to make before becoming a startup, and where to go next once we realize our venture can be full time someday.  Next, we walk through all the requirements to get a business bank account and credit card which we then sync with QBSE to make our accounting easy from seeing our income, expenses, and profit/loss along with paying estimated taxes to the IRS.  Finally, we wrap up with key issues to be aware of from 1099-K reporting to health insurance and using an Employer Identification Number or EIN for a business in a W-9.  The links below are all mentioned in the video for further reading!

Hear the difference between a $20 headset vs a $20,000 studio for inspiration to invest in equipment that produces professional looking videos and audio as I do at https://jerrybanfield.com/resources/ where I have a full list of my equipment through seven years of research as an entrepreneur online.  To summarize, putting out low quality videos with lame gear might be better than nothing but only if it inspires further innovation.  Fortunately you do not need a $20,000 studio to sound professional.  The list of equipment I have at  https://jerrybanfield.com/resources/ costs a few thousand dollars to sound the way I do which is a setup very similar to what most of the professionals use for live video production, podcast audio recording, audio book narration on ACX for Audible, and pro home office setups!

Memories of Heaven: Children's Astounding Recollections of the Time Before They Came to Earth by b Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Dee Garnes, and Dianna Hicks-Garnes was incredibly helpful for me to remember my own choice to come here and stay here together rather than being a product of my parents choices while also honoring me with the opportunity to see the same choice in my children!  This book review and summary features what I loved about reading this on Kindle!

Why is streaming on YouTube, Twitch, Mixer, or Facebook a waste of time before we have built the foundations of our community?  What do successful and established streamers recommended to do BEFORE starting any live streams?  In this TUTORIAL we show how to build a following using tips, tricks, guides, and highlights PRIOR to attempting any live streaming.  After a foundation is laid from uploaded videos to YouTube which are shared on Facebook, Instagram, and Instagram linking to the live streaming destination of the future such as YouTube, Facebook, Mixer, or Twitch, THEN we are ready to  start streaming because our following will be much greater than zero.  This advice was inspired by Speros from https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChHnNhkiCmDk6WG3_AEiAaA including his response to my $20 donation via Streamlabs asking his advice for people hoping to build a following like his which now includes 2,000 viewers per live stream and the ability to go full time.

@speros recommended this video by SypherPK at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1kZmyq7CLg which helped him out and I give an additional summary of it at the end which is basically what I just wrote here!

Thank you for watching this or listening to it because I imagine you advancing rapidly with your future streaming instead of just wasting time!

1 year ago my dog bit my 2 year old daughter in the face. Today we still have our dog and our daughter's scars have faded with no more biting. We went through the conversations about whether to give our dog away, put her down, or keep her at home. We decided to keep her home and ensure our daughter and the dog were never alone again by keeping the dog in the sunroom which has a dog door to go outside but not access to the house. I am grateful we made the choices we did and hope hearing this story is useful for you today!

A simple clap test allows us to sync our camera video and our microphone audio perfectly in OBS and similar live streaming programs using a video editor like Camtasia or Final Cut Pro X.  We just record a video of our hands clapping and put that into our video editor.  In the editor, we check if there is any difference between the time the audio spikes and the time our hands touch on the screen.  If there is, we see the exact number of difference in frames, divide by the frames per second, and add that much delay to our recording software for a perfect sync!

Listening to You are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero on Audible as a part of my reading list at https://www.amazon.com/shop/jbanfield #ad helped spark consistent innovation and growth in my business at https://jerrybanfield.com/ as an entrepreneur, video producer, and live streamer online!  You might love listening to or reading this book on Amazon Kindle or paperback if you are having consistent thoughts of financial insecurity, saying "I cannot afford it" and "I'm broke" because it shows how the self defeating and negative attitudes around money keep us from going anywhere.  Our solution as we see in this book is to change how we think about money and take a leap of faith into action!  I appreciate you reading this description and am grateful for a chance to have a list for you of all my favorite books at https://www.amazon.com/shop/jbanfield.
