The Secret To Success with Antonio T Smith Jr

Five Ways to Mind Your Boring Life & Create Content with Ai

6/23/23

Antonio’s 2,240 Content Creation Posts 

1. Take Antonio’s 2-hour videos and transcribe every 15 minutes of the 2-hour video

· 2 hours (120 minutes)/15 minutes = 8 transcriptions 

2. Each video will be turned into 280 videos. 

· 8 transcriptions x 5 key points x 7 moving points = 280 videos

3. 280 videos x 8 = 2,240 videos

3 Approaches

1. Housewife/Househusband approach

2. Housewife/Househusband approach to a big brand

3. A personal brand approach

· Money follows attention

· The goal is to generate income 

· You need to become a producer, not a consumer

· Eliminate the consumer mindset as fast as possible

Content Creation

· Apps

· Go to Google and find out things you didn’t know about the app

· Go to ChatGPT and ask for tips and hacks for the app you’re researching, then create an ebook

· Create longer videos and put them on YouTube, and shorter videos for TikTok

· Culture

· You can become an influencer on language, dress, dialogue, etc.

· Find a niche (your unique selling proposition)

· If you’re staring from scratch, you’re starting from a pool of 8 billion people

· Narrow and shallow is not a good way to start off

· Pick the niche that is easier to get the most products, community, and monthly subscriptions out of

· Commentary of other people

· Go to YouTube, and whatever topic you want to discuss, type type the topic name and “reaction”

· Take the YouTube video and translate it into an Ai platform

· The the translated script, copy and paste it into ChatGPT (15 minutes at a time), and ask ChatGPT the following prompts

· Prompt #1: Please give me every major key point of this video.

· Prompt #2: In a clear and concise voice, but also sassy and a matter of fact tone, please give me the router argument for every one of these points with a 2-sentence explanation.

Closing Thoughts

· Steve Jobs said “You can’t connect the dots moving forward.”

· We are on a hero’s journey

· Every hero’s story ends on a high point

· If you’re not on a high point, chill….you’re not done yet

Adrienne

• Building a counseling/venting/therapy/prayer room/manifestation room/weeping room
• Some rooms can be passcode protected
• Build an avatar that walks with you
• Train the model on everything self-help and psychology

Prompt #1 

We are building a virtual reality environment for a female CEO who specializes in coaching, counseling, and healing trauma. Below, I have listed a few mechanics. Can you please analyze them and add 15 more. The purpose of this environment is to allow people to experience total healing, gain a safe place for living, develop a community outside of their homes, to teach healing principles in a cohesive manner, and to gain psychological advancements that lead to a better life. Can you please list me 15 more mechanics based on the list I have provided. In our next prompt, we will begin building this environment.

[Copy and paste your mechanics]

Prompt #2

That was great! Can you type this with a short explanation too and make sense of it the way you did your 15?

[Copy and paste your mechanics]

Prompt #3

Let's begin our basic implementation. We need a master class to hold all of these 18 features. In this case, use brevity to create the master class that house all 18 features. For this prompt, I am perfectly fine with brevity. I am more so looking for the beginning structure for when we call these classes from our master class. We are coding in Unity engine and C# language. Please include any necessary imports to make our code work properly.

[Copy and paste all mechanics]

Prompt #4 

Based on the two codes we have provided, can you send me a comprehensive list. Again, all I am looking for is a list of elements of this VR environment that I will need to create in code. Your list will provide for me a comprehensive guide to my next steps and will act like a work order and can even be used to give to my team. Your list needs to be comprehensive and needs to be able to be understood by a junior programmer. The goal of creating this list is for me to do it myself or work in a team environment. So please present your list this way. For this reason, we cannot use brevity, as we may work in a team environment, and only I will understand your brevity. To be clear, I'm only looking for a list, no code.

Prompt #5 

Thank you so much. You use brevity to perfection. For this prompt, let's not use brevity and create a player controller that can coexist with our code I have posted below.

Prompt #1 

I need to build a virtual reality platform for my business, which is professional speaking, Holistic healing/health, being an author, being a wife, being a teacher, a spiritual leader, and a big kid. The structure I would like to provide for the virtual reality world is an environment that houses different worlds inside of it. In a sense, my customers and walk into the holistic healing world and get everything holistic healing. Likewise, they can walk into the author world and get everything author related. You can follow this pattern so on and so on. I have more than one desire from you but first let's begin with the steps I will need to create my virtual reality platform. I will also need the gaming mechanics that come along with it.

Prompt #2

Can you help me define my goals for my virtual reality platform, which is professional speaking, Holistic healing/health, being an author, being a wife, being a teacher, a spiritual leader, and a big kid. The structure I would like to provide for the virtual reality world is an environment that houses different worlds inside of it. In a sense, my customers and walk into the holistic healing world and get everything holistic healing. Likewise, they can walk into the author world and get everything author related. You can follow this pattern so on and so on.

Prompt #5 

You are the world's leading AR, VR, MR, computer engineer. Your task is to assist me in building a VR platform and you specialize at giving very specific information, taking large tasks down to multiple, small steps for students, and you despise general answers as you take pride in giving each student exactly what they need for their projects. I am the number one salesperson. My goal is to become so irreplaceable that companies need my gifts and talents. Therefore, in exchange of my value, I will be politely demanding the highest checks and incentives. I want to future-proof myself against artificial intelligence by embracing it. The first of these tasks is to create a virtual reality world in which we do two things: show B2B how good I am as a saleswoman, and then show B2C customers how good the products are that I am selling. Before we begin, I want you to understand that I am going to use Unity engine and the programming language C# to build my virtual reality world. Before I ask for any basic implementations, I want to first get a big picture from you that is specific to what I have presented. Provide me with all the steps specifically that I will need to accomplish my goal. Keep in mind we're focusing on two halves: B2B, in which I can sell myself and the number one salesperson, and B2C, in which I can wow my customers with benefits and features in a fun environment so they don't feel like they're being sold. One last thing, you have my full permission to be as liberal with your thinking as you desire, and as creative as you desire. There is nothing you say that will be incorrect. I am looking for out of the box ideas that no one has thought of or heard of.

Prompt #6 

Thank you so much. I will be using Unity engine and programming in C#, and I will be using machine learning and deep learning as well. Please show me the basic implementation of building what is below. In addition, please include all imports that are necessary for the code to work properly. In addition to that, please provide a masterclass that houses both B2B and B2C.

For B2B:

Create a virtual conference room to demonstrate your sales skills, maybe a TED-Talk-like environment.

Design scenarios where you handle tough client situations, close high-stake deals, or demonstrate great relationship-building skills.

For B2C:

Instead of simply presenting products, immerse customers in an environment where they can interact with the product in its natural use case.

Build gamification elements to make the discovery and learning process about the product more enjoyable and engaging.

Code #1: Setting up the VR environment and controls 

using UnityEngine;

using Valve.VR;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour

{

  public SteamVR_Action_Vector2 input;

  public float speed = 1;

  private CharacterController characterController;

  private Transform cameraRig;

  private Transform head;

  void Start()

  {

    characterController = GetComponent();

    cameraRig = SteamVR_Render.Top().origin;

    head = SteamVR_Render.Top().head;

  }

  void Update()

  {

    HandleHead();

    HandleMovement();

  }

  private void HandleHead()

  {

    Vector3 oldPosition = cameraRig.position;

    Quaternion oldRotation = cameraRig.rotation;

    transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, head.rotation.eulerAngles.y, 0);

    cameraRig.position = oldPosition;

    cameraRig.rotation = oldRotation;

  }

  private void HandleMovement()

  {

    Vector3 direction = new Vector3(input.axis.x, 0, input.axis.y);

    direction = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(direction, Vector3.up);

    direction = Quaternion.Euler(0, transform.eulerAngles.y, 0) * direction;

    characterController.Move(speed * Time.deltaTime * direction);

  }

}

Code #2: Loading the VR environments

using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class SceneSwitcher : MonoBehaviour

{

  public void SwitchToConferenceRoom()

  {

    SceneManager.LoadScene("ConferenceRoomScene");

  }

  public void SwitchToProductDemo()

  {

    SceneManager.LoadScene("ProductDemoScene");

  }

}

Code #3: Creating interactivity with objects

using UnityEngine;

using Valve.VR;

public class SimpleGrab : MonoBehaviour

{

  public SteamVR_Action_Boolean grabAction;

  private GameObject collidingObject; 

  private GameObject objectInHand; 

  private void SetCollidingObject(Collider col)

  {

  {

    objectInHand = collidingObject;

    collidingObject = null;

    var joint = AddFixedJoint();

    joint.connectedBody = objectInHand.GetComponent();

  }

  private FixedJoint AddFixedJoint()

  {

    FixedJoint fx = gameObject.AddComponent();

    fx.breakForce = 20000;

    fx.breakTorque = 20000;

    return fx;

  }

  private void ReleaseObject()

  {

    if (GetComponent())

    {

      GetComponent().connectedBody = null;

      Destroy(GetComponent());

      objectInHand.GetComponent().velocity = grabAction.GetLastVelocity();

      objectInHand.GetComponent().angularVelocity = grabAction.GetLastAngularVelocity();

    }

    objectInHand = null;

  }

  void Update()

  {

    if (grabAction.GetLastStateDown(SteamVR_Input_Sources.Any) && collidingObject)

    {

      GrabObject();

    }

    if (grabAction.GetLastStateUp(SteamVR_Input_Sources.Any))

    {

      ReleaseObject();

    }

  }

}

Lobby Prompt

I want to add an open world that acts as a lobby for all logging-in users. This open world needs to look like a fantasy world Central Park with interactive rivers, shops in which they can purchase things such as gear, custom skins, power attributes and other gamification items that trend with the video game FortNite. Please show me the basic implementation for this. Please include everything I have listed. Please feel free to add more. Remember, this is our lobby to where ALL users will enter first.

1. Equipment and Infrastructure

a) Assess Your Needs: Begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your business. Identify the equipment that you require to increase efficiency and enhance the quality of your products. Create a detailed list outlining the type, quantity, and cost of the equipment needed.

b) Group Economics: Seek investment from within your local community. This aligns with Dr. Anderson's emphasis on using community resources to fund growth. Present your business plan and future growth strategies to potential investors who share your vision.

c) Utilize Funding Platforms: Consider crowdfunding, which will not only help raise the necessary funds but also promote your business to a larger community. Highlight the potential positive impacts your business growth can have on the local economy and job creation in your crowdfunding campaign.

2. Physical Location

a) Research: Conduct thorough research on suitable locations. Look for areas with high foot traffic and accessibility. Also, ensure the community aligns with your brand image.

b) Leverage Local Resources: Engage local realtors and community business development agencies. They may be able to provide you with valuable insights and options for affordable locations.

c) Group Funding: Seek investment from your local community for the physical location as well. By investing, they are directly contributing to the growth and development of their community.

3. Team Expansion

a) Define Roles: Identify the roles and responsibilities that need to be filled in your company. This could include designers, production assistants, sales/marketing personnel, and more.

b) Hire Locally: Prioritize hiring from within your local community. This not only generates jobs but also keeps money circulating within the community, a key principle of Dr. Anderson's economic philosophy.

c) Empower Employees: Invest in your employees. Provide them with opportunities for growth and advancement within your company. This will create a motivated workforce and contribute to the overall success of your business.

Remember, building an economically self-sustaining business takes time. Be patient and persistent in your efforts. Above all, strive to create a business that contributes positively to your local community, aligning with Dr. Claude Anderson's teachings

1. Brand Identity

a) Review and Refine: Look at your existing brand identity and consider how well it aligns with your business's values, mission, and the community it serves. Make necessary changes to ensure consistency across all platforms.

b) Community-Centric Branding: Your brand should reflect the spirit of the 815 area. Consider incorporating local landmarks, cultural elements, or slogans that resonate with the local community.

c) Consistency: Ensure that your revised brand identity is consistently applied across all aspects of your business - from your website to your packaging, social media, and physical store.

2. Segmentation

a) Identify Subgroups: Not all residents of the 815 area will be your customers. Identify more specific subgroups within the community that align best with your products and services. These could be schools, sports teams, or community organizations.

b) Understand Their Needs: Develop an understanding of each subgroup’s needs, preferences, and purchasing behavior. Tailor your products, services, and marketing messages to meet these specific needs.

3. Local Focus

a) Community Engagement: Regularly participate in local events, charities, and sponsor local teams or groups. This strengthens your connection with the community and boosts brand visibility.

b) Local Collaboration: Collaborate with other local businesses for joint events or promotions. This not only promotes mutual growth but also fosters a sense of unity and shared economic growth within the community.

4. Expansion

a) Gradual Scaling: Once you’ve established a strong local presence, begin looking at similar communities in neighboring areas for expansion.

b) Replicate Success: Use the same strategies that worked in your local market. However, ensure you understand the unique aspects of each new community and tailor your approach accordingly.

5. Word of Mouth and Referral Marketing

a) Encourage Advocacy: Your most loyal customers can be your best advertisers. Encourage them to share their experiences with your business with their social circles.

b) Incentivize Referrals: Develop a referral program that rewards customers for bringing new customers to your business. The rewards could be in the form of discounts, free items, or other benefits.

Remember, in line with Dr. Anderson's teachings, the goal of your marketing strategy should be more than just business growth. It should also aim to build a stronger, economically self-sustaining community.

1. Consistent and Regular Posting

a) Content Calendar: Create a content calendar that schedules posts in advance. This ensures you're consistently putting out content without last-minute scrambling.

b) Diverse Content: Mix your content between product highlights, behind-the-scenes looks, user-generated content, and community involvement to keep it fresh and engaging.

c) Value over Quantity: Gary Vee is a huge advocate of bringing value. Make sure every post provides some sort of value to your audience, whether it's entertainment, inspiration, or education.

2. High-Quality Visuals

a) Invest in Equipment: Invest in a good camera and learn some basic photography skills. Your visuals need to stand out and showcase your products effectively.

b) Storytelling: Use your visuals to tell stories. This can be the story behind a product, the process of creating it, or how customers are using it in their lives.

3. User-Generated Content

a) Encourage Sharing: Create a specific, branded hashtag for your company and encourage your customers to use it when they post photos with your products.

b) Repost: Regularly repost user-generated content (with their permission) on your own channels. This creates a sense of community and encourages more customers to share their own photos.

c) Contests: Run a contest where customers post a photo with your product and a specific hashtag for a chance to win a prize.

4. Engage with Your Audience

a) Respond: Actively respond to comments and messages on your social media platforms. This builds a relationship with your audience and makes them feel heard.

b) Show Personality: Remember to be human. Respond as a person, not as a corporation. Inject humor and personality into your interactions.

c) Run Contests and Giveaways: This creates excitement around your brand, encourages engagement, and helps to grow your audience.

5. Influencer Marketing

a) Research: Identify local influencers whose style and audience align with your brand.

b) Collaboration over Sponsorship: Rather than just paying for a post, collaborate with influencers on unique content that can be shared across both of your platforms.

c) Build Relationships: Focus on building long-term relationships with influencers. They can become authentic advocates for your brand.

Remember, Gary Vee's approach to social media is all about authenticity, providing value, and building real relationships with your audience. It's about playing the long game and focusing on sustainable growth rather than quick wins.

• You can never be conscious without some type of programming 
• How you react to things is not you; it is whatever programming is within you
• Solution: retrain your subconscious mind

Triggers, Reactions, and Double Standards

• A double standard is a world view until you don’t like it
• A trigger is an unresolved issue that “triggers” an emotional response
• A reaction is caused by a trigger

Closing Thoughts
