The New Direction for Millennial Motivator

All right, guys. I just want to make sure that everything is working here. It looks like the audio is picking up. Hopefully, that's nice. It looks like everything's working. So, welcome back, guys. I am Dan from millennialmotivator.ca. Obviously, it's been a while. I can't even get the website out. It has been like 2 and a half weeks since I last put a video up, and I had been very consistent with doing a video a day Monday through Saturday for about 90 days. Now, a couple of different things happened. One, I had to travel all over the place, traveling to the States, traveling conferences, speaking different expos, all kinds of different stuff. So that all came in. On top of that, there was an element of burnout. There really was. So what I realized was if I'm going to come back at this and I'm going to hit it hard, there has to be a couple changes that happen here on the channel, okay? And I've tried a few times to get back on here with a video to jumpstart this, and it hasn't worked. That old method of me recording a video, editing it, taking that time processing it, it just didn't work. And then it dawned on me, I am perfectly fine getting on a camera and just talking. This, this is not the issue. The editing and the background time and all of that is there. Seeing how easy it is to go live now on YouTube, I figured this is the best way to go from here on out. So the way it's going to work and the few changes we're going to see are this. One, it's not going to be entirely business from now on. From here, from the beginning of the channel till now, it's been all about how do you grow your business, how do you grow your business online, how do you build this. And what I've realized is, not just personally but from a lot of the feedback, a lot of the comments, is You can't just tackle the business if you're going to motivate people, because so often the business concept may be good and the effort may be good, but it's things happening outside of the business that are really drawing people back. So whether that be your personal life, your family, your friends, your personal goals that you have set for yourself, or it could be your health is the other big one that seems to get in the way. So what I wanted to do is, as a whole, create an entire thing for you guys where I'm able to actually get on here 3 times a week and speak to one of those 3 aspects. So from now on in the channel, guys, what you can expect is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at noon Eastern Standard Time, I'm gonna hop on here and it's all gonna be about what I'm doing currently. I, I set for myself 90-day goals of how I'm going to address health, home, hustle. Okay, so those 3 things are gonna be the big focus from here on out. Now, that being said, that doesn't mean there's gonna be less video content. I'm still gonna do all that stuff. I can do website reviews on the hustle days, on the Fridays when I want to. For health, I know there's a lot of different stuff that I'm giving a shot right now. Intermittent fasting, I'm gonna get back to the gym. I'm doing the Couch to 5K method. So a lot of different stuff happening right now that I wanna share with you guys, the stuff that I find that works, that I find simple, that people can adapt into their own days to make their lives a lot better. Okay, also I find having the 3 videos is gonna allow me more time to create the video, upload it after I finish the live, it's gonna allow me the ability to share that out over, you know, the 48 hours as opposed to me having to cram in a ton of time right there on the day. So what I love about the live format, and I know this is the first one, so there's probably not gonna be a ton of people in here, but it also gives me the availability to put out a concept like this and have people that are able to make this during their lunch break, show up, tune in, grab onto what's happening, and actually have a dialogue at some point. Now I am going to try to format it a little bit where I'll show up, introduce the topic for the day, give my spiel on where I stand with it. And then from there, actually create a conversation and see what's going on. Now I know conversations can be a little bit of a risky thing, but the reality is this. I love the community that's been built here. As long as I see it in line with that community, I love watching where the conversation goes. Now, anybody that shows up and has something less than constructive to offer into a conversation, as always, YouTube has been kind enough to deal us out a spam button, a block button, a mute button. Those will be used. However, my hope is that we can actually just continue building the community that we've got here, grow it out, build it out, and have fun time Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It's not going to be more than a half hour unless I really get going on something here, guys. But I wanted to get this out to you guys, let you know where I've been, let you know where the channel's going. And my hope is, as we go over Monday, Wednesday, Friday for the next 90 days, we see how this goes. I think I can be more consistent with this for sure. Busting out 10 minutes on here is going to be easy. What's up, Beauty in the Burg? Good afternoon. Um, so for all of you guys that didn't catch this live, you'll get it on the replay. But that's the plan— Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I'll be live here. Uh, hopefully no more than a half hour, but if it goes to an hour, so be it. Uh, this time slot is for that, and we'll be dealing with health, happiness— so whether that's your— in your home or, uh, around your family— um, and then the hustle, of course, your business, whether that be on YouTube, your website, uh, social media business, e-commerce, whatever it may be. Uh, I'm also dabbling around some finance stuff, so, uh, we'll see what comes of it. But I always want to share with you guys what I'm doing, give you the best practices that I'm learning, uh, any content that I'm pulling out of books. Uh, hopefully get some interviews on here, all kinds of different stuff that we can do. But the reality is live is where this channel is going to be from here onward. Uh, it also gives me the ability to go mobile a little bit more easier. So when I'm out and about and I can't get locked down here in my office, I'll be able to go live from my mobile, which is a big issue that I tried to tackle when I went to the States, was how do I get this content up for you guys to watch if all I've got is a cell phone? And the reality is editing, shooting clips Adobe Clip, Premiere, all of that jazz. It was too much. It just got overwhelming for me. I'm not an editor. That's not my strength. That's not what I do. Talking to you guys, spinning it out, letting you know where I'm at, what I'm doing, giving you some thoughts, giving you some feedback, helping you build and grow— that's my strength. That's my forte. And I think live is the opportunity for me to do that. So that's what we'll be using moving forward. Let me know down in the comments below on this when it goes up what you guys think. What do you want to see in in the videos. Are you all for this live thing? But yeah, what are you waiting for? Click it down there and I will catch you guys Wednesday at noon Eastern Standard Time. See you then.
