So I have in my hands a few of the Unify devices that they offer right now in 2018 because the question comes up all the time Which Unify should I buy? Well, let's talk about that. I don't have everything in stock I don't have any of the inwall units and stock to show you those We're gonna jump to the website in a minute here and talk about some of the details But we're gonna go over what you have what I have here and kind of get you an idea Which ones to buy what they look like now I have the Unify AC mesh I have the Unify APACLR and Unify ACHD. This is their pro business line You're probably going which one do I need to put in my house or which one do I need to put my business? Which one do I need to put in my office? There's a lot of different options here and that's what we're gonna kind of discuss is which Unify is right for the job Now I've talked about this before but the video is old and Unify is a very forward thinking company And they just keep coming up with new amazing products now my favorite thing is yes They still support we still have stuff from 2013. That's still getting firmware updates There's not a lot of companies that support things for that long I've been really impressed with the long-term support that they've offered on these Without charging you for contracts. That's something unique about the way Unify works as a company They give you the software for free so you can manage it you can host with them They have their cloud management systems you can do you can get the controller and host it all yourself Which is what we do which is my preferred method You can host it at your home and just run it when you want to now The nice thing is all this Unify equipment that we have here all runs on the same Unify software same software runs all of them And the same software can all of them at the same time so you can easily migrate go You know I think I needed this but then I added this but then I had like 500 users So I needed this you didn't have to change software matter of fact You don't have to change devices they will work with this one as well So you can have an office or your even house laid out with a lot of different Unify devices One management platform for all of them, which is one of the reasons we really like Unify as well It unifies all the management of these Wi-Fi devices Now I'm gonna answer a question a lot of you are asking right away because this is a common question with Unify is But I just want to work it at my house. What if I turn my controller off? What if I don't want to buy a cloud key earning that once you program these they are smart enough to keep operating and hand out Wi-Fi to devices and work the things you lose when you don't run a Unify controller consistently is not the functionality of the device But any type of telemetry for the vice devices smart enough to do its job Not smart enough to really give any telemetry doesn't have storage in these that's part of the concept of the way they built these They did not put a ton of storage in these to do the device They take all the data and pump it to the controller But in in the event that the controller is not functioning or you turn it off because you're rebooting it for any reason and for example We take our controller down to do upgrades The Unify's keep working fine. They keep handing out IP addresses There's just a gap in any data or analytics that you may be getting from these Unify is very unique in The way they design this at least what I've seen maybe there's other companies copying them But they've done this for a while and it's a really smart way to design the devices It makes the devices less expensive and from a business standpoint Because these are generally less expensive and some of their commercial counterparts We keep plenty of them in stock based on what we installed at our clients So we always have a few at the ready on the chance that one of them goes bad or there's a problem with them The devices are inexpensive We can pre-program and match them to their network and just swap out the ones there That being said we have deployed Thousands of these and rarely matter of fact, we've only ever had a brick go bad I I am still amazed at the statistics for how many of these we've taken out and how few of them are dead Which for us is not I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I've seen people say they died So let's jump into talking about which devices are right for you These are really slick. These are the apac mesh and I was confused when he first came out Well, I'm like, do they only do mesh? No, they have a mesh mode matter of fact All three of these devices in front of you have a mesh mode And all that means is they will support meshing wi-fi and if you're not fair what that is You can spend a few minutes googling, but the short of it is you can power this unit up And when it's already been programmed first when it is hardwired and then you want to switch it to mesh mode It can grab the five gigahertz signal off of one of these And bring it in and then broadcast out 2.4 and give wi-fi So it meshes on the five broadcast on the 2.4 This is good and bad in my opinion whenever we can We put a wire to the switch for every single unified device That's the preferred way to do it. You're going to get the best performance Once you start hopping across meshes, you are going to lose a little bit of performance That's just the nature of it. We are going to do a mesh video coming soon So I'm not going to get too in depth on that But we've done some testing with it We have a scenario where we're going to be meshing them and we're going to do a whole project video on that later But these apac meshes they are great. They work really well If they're small they're weatherproof. That's an important factor So we've even put these in some people wanted they have a pool house and we're putting these in By the pool we have a golf course that we installed a couple of these on now And they want golfers want wi-fi apparently that's necessary when you're out there But they are weatherproof they come with this they come with a little I'm going to move this up right back here Sorry for the noise they come with a couple mounting brackets So you can mount them pretty easily They come with a little rubber grommet that goes in here And my favorite thing compared to the old versions that we've used to these this And why is this matter you wonder?  We've caught them on sale for less many times These are the APACLRs really Nice simple devices now just to give you a direct comparison. They're not as big as these HDs So they're reasonable. They do set a little bit taller of a profile not much, but they're reasonably compact They all have the same little mounting bracket on the these ones to the APCALRs Where you take this you can stick this to the ceiling and Bracket it down now the holes in it hard to see because I don't have my Close-up camera, but they're slightly recessed so you can put a couple screws in here Bolt it to any type of ceiling it comes with drywall screws as well And what these drywall screws allow you to do is bolt it right to the ceiling Put the bracket on there. You just push it twist lock done and they stuck to the ceiling Now in the case that you have a drop ceiling, which is really really common in offices here in the us And I imagine a lot of other places as well And if you're not feeling like to drop ceiling tiles, we have one here They come with these brackets and these long screws now what these brackets and long screws do Is this plate sits on the other side because if you were to screw into that The drop ceiling tiles, they're not strong enough to hold it Well, they kind of are but it don't do it because it's a bad idea These come with nuts and long screws You drew you put this on top of the tile you bracket on the other side and it lines right up So you sandwich it together Like so And that's going to give you the mount to be really solid and stay in a ceiling tile that being said The ceiling tile mounts are really fine for these. They're don't weigh that much So we haven't seen any issues with them But anytime you deal with ceiling tiles, just so you know be careful Especially if you're dealing with really old ones or some of them are made of like a Fiberglass like fabric. So before you do the jobs or look at it make sure they can support that Uh, type of device being on there that just something to think about whenever you're putting these Wi-Fi's in Now especially when we get to the last one here the the ACHD Now this is a lot heavier And so if you have this in a ceiling tile and that ceiling tile is not one strong enough You want to think about that or put it closer not in the dead center of the steering tile Maybe offset where there's a little more support on the corners or have it in a plastic ceiling tile Some of the places I've seen have those where there are a lot more solid and can handle more weight But that's something to consider when you're doing these is making sure it's solid mount because this weighs a lot more The weight's on there. I don't tell you exactly. I'll look it up in the specs But you can find it on there. So these are a little bit heavier Now the brackets are not the same on this being that it's bigger. So it just has a bigger bracket Compared to the smaller bracket of this one. Now, there's a couple different ACHD models and we'll talk about those in a couple of these But the brackets on this line the smaller one are the same and the brackets on the larger one Are pretty much the same but every one of these can come with a bracket So no matter which one you buy you get the bracket with it That's just part of what's included in there and of course with the bracket you get the heavier duty mounting plate So, you know, this is it's pretty solid. All right Now the power bricks Pretty straightforward. They're gonna come with a power brick on there and something I like These are the new versions of the unify power bricks the very original when we were doing these years ago Uh, didn't have this as a matter of fact, the old ones are black and now the newest ones are white They have this and all this has a little mounting plate So you can screw this to the wall real easy You don't have to use a template or anything. It's not like those little offset screws, which I always try to be nuts But uh Snap and this can mount right to your wall and you have it's a short cord But generally you're putting this somewhere, you know right where a plug is and we a lot of times will put all The devices if we're putting a few of them in we'll put them on if they don't have a poe switch We'll put them on just one power strip and then we put a note above it This will reset the unify devices for people who ever have to reset them It's a handy tip if you're installing a lot of small businesses where you put like two or three units in They don't have a poe switch. We just put a little note above it This will reset the wi-fi if there's ever reason to that way you can just tell them to Power it off power it back on and they're all plugged into one now. This is a 24 volt for This unit here And this is the bigger 48 volt brick now That's something you really have to keep in mind when you're doing these is when you're mounting The brackets whoops, I got a piece there the when you're doing these The different bricks go to different units. So you have a 24 or 48 volt unit You can look that up before you buy them each one comes with these unless you're buying the bulk packs I've seen some of the bulk when you buy like five at a time of these like some of the quantity purchases Read the fine notes that they may not have this now We're fine with buying the bulk packs when they don't because a lot of times when we buy in bulk We're buying a lot of them at once and for a large install and in that case We're going to put a poe switch in now unify has and I'll find a link and leave it in the description Below and you can google it because they keep a nice up-to-date one They have which poe switches support which devices from unify whether they're not your poe switch supports it Well, you're just going to have to look because each one of these does have the specs on there in terms of the power needs of each one and which Power over ethernet they need so that's a very important aspect for each device you're looking at Like I said, they all come with different power They'll come with a power brick and the the unify acc does need the larger one, but it comes with it But just think about that when you're doing your planning You also have to do planning on wattage If you may know when you're looking at poe switches and unify has those on there as well Well, if you're going to put a bunch of these in one switch Think about how many watts and it's listed for each one of these that you're using and making sure you Plan accordingly that you have enough power to support all the devices that you're going to hook up And one thing I missed because it was on top of it is this has a different type of bracket as well So you have a pole mount bracket or an outside flush mount bracket The flush mount bracket has a cool little level in it so you can Decide if it's level so it looks right when it's on the wall not that that makes a huge difference on there But yeah, these these are really neat. We're really happy with these devices in terms of how they work Like I said, we got video coming up on the details and review of these All right now Let's jump over to the website so we can talk about some of those specs and details that really matter with these So you can really finally make a decision which one you want and they will talk about the msrp pricing on these So see what fits your budget and use case scenario All right, we'll start with the first thing that I said is yes, they all work on the same System and for example, this is our LTS test site that we have and you can see that all these are in here And yes, one of them does say in Marvin's car because that was part of a video we have up and coming So it's a sneak peek in that that we were meshing cars together. What's going to be for our mesh video But here's an ac lr. Here's the ac mesh. Here's another ac mesh. Here's an ac mesh. It's not plugged in right now It's actually in someone else's car, uh, even though it says in the office And uh, here's the super cool wi-fi Which is the uap ac hd and like I said one dashboard for all the devices This is the beauty of unify when you want to expand on here You don't have to get a different controller for each one or even different controller software to manage an enterprise device Or a home device and I say home device But technically they're all enterprise devices but a lot of people like these ac's and ac lr's at their houses I have one. I think it's a great device All right, so let's jump into the details of the different devices and the in the technical specs that I know people are wanting So we'll start with the hd now They do have a new one coming out called the nano hd and I'm going to pause here for a second to talk about it Even though it's not completely released. It's a slightly smaller a little bit less than performance It supports 200 concurrent users versus the ac pro which supports 500 But it's skinnable. That's neat and you could blend it in with the environment It comes in camouflage that you may want if you have a camouflaged Unify unit. You probably want to hit a hidden ss id in there. I'm just saying it seems the only appropriate way Just it's my humor as soon as I've seen that Um, but it's also kind of neat because it's going to come out with a recessed amount And like I said, these aren't out yet. Uh, I don't have any I think some people may have gotten some for some reviews But kind of novel because it you can recess mount them instead of flush instead of mounting them like the other ones do Which is more like this picture here pretty cool Pretty neat a little bit smaller That being said if you're interested in that one now, let's talk about like the ones we have here the a chd This is the one we talked about I didn't bother taking it apart because the unifies are a little bit difficult to take apart And I don't want to avoid the warranty because they're expensive Um, but the Unifies this is the exploded view so you can see inside of them. This is the one that we have here It does have the dual next now the reason it has dual network interfaces is for link aggregation. So you can Only get gigabit in on these they don't have a 10 gig circuit, but you can combine two together Now let's talk about some of the other details. They are ac wave 2 mu memo and you can Dig into some of this All the different Performance options they have the amu mimo as long as the devices themselves that are connecting to support all of that And here's some of the differences in the device. So because it supports up to that speed 1300 megabits a second That's why you need link aggregation. So you could actually get that many on there. I'm sorry Yeah, with this one and this one as well that's 1733 on the uap a chd Uh, you can't get that kind of performance obviously with one single Network cable This one supports up to 200 users 500 plus users on this now We have some of these and we're putting these in because they're actually going in a large event facility We're putting three of them in and picture that there's just going to be a ton of people there And whenever there's people at event facilities You want something I can handle because everyone has a device and if someone brings a tablet, let's say at a conference center You're really going to go. Okay. They're going to have a tablet They may have a laptop and they're going to have a phone. So one person can represent three devices So you have a hundred people you can have 300 devices if each person has three devices So these are really good for that really high density lots of people connecting Uh And they work can solve that problem now these ones here are not bad And like I said a little bit less money for 149 and still have a lot of those Features, but not quite as many users on there. So you got to think about user density when you're buying these Could you buy this for your house? Yes, would it make your house faster? Do you have that many devices at your house is the question? Sure, you could just go out and buy the biggest one now I'm not I didn't cover which is the uh, you know, I'm gonna skip this one, but they do have an ac edu Uh, it's kind of novel because it's got a speaker in it. So it's got a public address in in it So I guess if you want you could possibly use it in the office I've never used this before But kind of novel that it has that in there It's it's the same as some of the other devices, but it's got the that in there So let's jump to the next one the ac one. These are the ones I recommend for people in the home. So you got the ac light Dual rate dual rate of performance. It's still ac They're the smaller ones. This is great for home. This is what we've put in a lot of people's houses Especially the business owners. They will frequently will want something Just to get wi-fi in your house that works really well now depending on how the size of the house And density of the walls you may or may not want the ac l r for long range So you get the same specs a little bit more power a little bit more money. They're not substantially more So the msrp on this and we'll pull it back up over here So you go from 89 for the ac light long range is here when we get up into the ac pros There 149 now if you look at the ac pro It's only slightly different than the other ones. We do the model comparison down here Because when you get into the pro it's a little bit faster on the 5 gigahertz speed So you're going to do that. But in order to achieve these speeds These all have one single ethernet. These have dual ethernet. Once again, you're going to have to have a switch that supports lag integration So get a unified switch Is some there's other ones support it but unified switches do and lag integration on both of those So you connect both network cables to be able to achieve the full output of those speed on those So that's you know why you might want to buy these ones here is if you need the fastest you can get But the other side of that is do you have devices that can support that level of speeds? It's not just the That this device has supported you have to have all this support and a newer model laptop with the right support in there That's an important aspect. Just something to think about on here. And like I said as well They have these are 802 a3 af poe with 24 volt 24 volt And they have that listed for each model so you know the poe mode it supports So if you don't plan to use the power brick that comes with them You may want to use you know your own poe switch. Make sure you have the right one Now here's the mesh units now, they have a couple units in here This is the one we have in stock and this is the the mesh pro These are really cool. I'm I'm really impressed with how tiny these are their $99 msrp you can usually find them for a few dollars less the weather resistant outdoor enclosures And they're made to be outside now. This is the pro one Also weather resistant doesn't have the little antennas taken up because it's a little bit bigger of a unit And really good coverage range you get a little bit more range out of those So like I said, they're really impressive devices Whichever one you want to use like I said, these are a little bit more So it depends on if you need that bigger range that you get out of the more powerful device versus the basic device So they're they're both really really good for if you're doing something simple like we are with this one project We just bought the $99 ones and they really will suffice and if you just want Things like you know Wi-Fi in your backyard This is great put it outside Mount it even it's not they get to go very far just getting it outside of your house means you're going to get better coverage And by mounting it to the outside of your house on the side of the house running cable to it Maybe under your eave you'll get great outdoor coverage on this and uh, you know reaches all over the backyard I have a larger backyard and these these actually cover the entire thing really really well Now the last one is these in wall units and these are Unique and we have not installed any of these because we haven't had any use case for them, but we might Um hotels are kind of an ideal place for this And I actually had one of my tech friends that he's seen them and he said it worked great What this does is it very centralizes The installs because it actually installs just like the name implies in wall So you cut out like a standard wall Port mount and then you put the unify in it you poe power it and then you have these in the wall So if you're thinking about like a hotel for example, you have a really good way to Both put a network jack on the wall and put a wi-fi device in the room So this is one of the planning things when you're designing these and I like how they show the pictures in here With hotels obviously this is would be like a hotel layout where you way say i'll put them in a hallway Or I only want to put one here and one here or maybe one on this end and picture hotels being a larger area The guy in the corner kind of doesn't get as much wi-fi versus the person over here So these can also work with all the other ones and complement the wi-fi So you take them and put them in the corner rooms and say okay I got a wi-fi here for the lobby that covers maybe the rooms adjacent to it And you kind of do some planning with that, but then you can add a couple in wall units for those Hotels or maybe the nice suites that you have where you would go I want that guest to have excellent wi-fi you can put these in of course the same rule applies to putting these in an office Maybe in the boss's office You say I want to make sure he has great wi-fi in the c-suite office And maybe you put a couple of these in there now, please no they have a data jack as well So they do have a gigabit pass through so when you plug these in you're able to wire that in which is kind of cool So definitely definitely a neat option to be able to do these They are if you get the pro version of this There's they're both gigabit and they support the ultimate five Five gigahertz at 1,300 megabits So that gives you an idea of you know the use cases you may want to have for these you can use them in your house as well um Sometimes this is something i've seen where it was actually even in older houses It can be tricky to figure out where to put the wi-fi Because it's hard to get inside the walls and things like that so that can be tricky Something to consider that maybe you do have access to mount these in there and put them in your kitchen or whatever works Now unify does have some of the other consumer products like the amplify which is really nice Those are those are good products I've heard good things about them have not done any testing one So I can't give you a direct one-to-one comparison But we have find it for if you're somewhat technically minded and willing to go through The setup on these in loading the software to manage them Which not that hard to do plenty of videos on it to run on windows And you don't have to run it persistently Um some of these people we've seen just load it up configure the device and they don't care about any telemetry Or data collection from the device so they set it up and just use Use it as a wi-fi without any management. That is fine If I stop this controller software these devices will keep out with handing out wi-fi to Anything that connects to them. They'll still save the password. They do not contact the controller The only thing that you're going to miss is telemetry data and you're going to miss any advanced features like if you want to use it for example with a Captive portal or logins and things like that because that's functions handled by the controller not the device You may not you may want a controller for that But if you just go I just want to you wanted at my house No problem. No, you don't even need the controller running You can just program these and turn the controller on only when you want to You know upgrade the firmware or make any changes to it or collect telemetry data But aren't that that's kind of the idea of the unifies and which ones you should look at Like I said, this is april of 2018. So this is their current lineup And I'll show you something real quick here because we have one of the really old ones I'll switch over to our main site. So here's our unify the lts office wi-fi device That's been installed since around 2013. I think I have one here and I have one at my house They've been working forever Even though they're older models and yes, they only support 2.4 because they're so old They still have firmware updates for them and they still work. So that's really like I said Send something about the company when they support a product for that long All right, so hopefully this was helpful and picking out which unify device you might want to try at home or try in your office Like I said, we've been really happy with the product line. We continue to deploy them at many of our clients They've made it really easy to manage and you can see I've got a lot of other videos on everything from setting up these Unified devices to you know, how you manage all the clients check them out We've done so many projects with them. You can see some of the client projects and some of the larger scale stuff We've done with them. They they really do hold up. So like I said, hopefully this is helpful on getting and helping you pick out Which wi-fi Unify wi-fi device you may want to buy.

my clock says 3.30. I'm assuming that we can start our meeting. With that, if you will join me in the pledge, please. I pledge allegiance to the tribe and to the republic which it stands under God. Thank you. Senator, to on our agenda is the approval of minutes from our February 15 meeting. I'm going to take to approve the minutes. I move that we approve the minutes from the February 15 meeting. I second it. We'll be second. All in favor say aye. Aye. All right, financial reports, Joe. I would report that the audit of 2020 has been completed.  We should have the audit report next month. But everything was indicated to be sound. And then we do have for, we do have Lisa's updated now through February for the report billing and some of the other financial reports. And I don't have anything unusual to note. Everything looks as expected. And no big surprises. Sorry, just got to close the door to my office. Any questions on the financial reports as far as what's been presented? No, we're looking forward to seeing the audited results. We need a motion to approve the vouchers. They were submitted by email to everyone. So moved. I second it. All in favor say aye. Aye. All right, Joe. Superintendent's report. We'll start with operations. And you'll see for February, we were down in production by about four and a half percent compared to last year and about seven and a half percent compared to 2019. I think we're just seeing some economic variability there. We don't have a big reason underlying that. Otherwise, we had a pretty normal February. The year today to date average is 11.7 million gallons of water per day. And that's down from 2019 where we had an average to this point in the year of 12 and a half million gallons per day. So hopefully as the year goes on, we'll pick up and increase on that number. We did have an unusually mild winter in terms of water temperature. We really only went into our winter operation mode. Maybe just for a couple, maybe four or five evenings was all. Normally we would be in that several months in the winter. And this is when the water temperature drops below about 32 and a half degrees, the raw water temperature. And we kind of switch our production to daylight hours to reduce the chance of icing at night. But again, this year we only did that about four or five evenings was all we had to do that. So unusually mild winter. We did not have any intake icing as a result this winter. And I think I can safely say now we will have none for this winter. That's probably a pretty good guess, Joe. I'm gonna go out on a limb. And that that's pretty unusual. Most years we've had a few icing incidences by this time. In terms of maintenance, you can see the detail log as usual, all variety of work from electrical to physical, mechanical maintenance, security issues, all kinds of things like that. That's the extent for operations and distribution. We did have three water main breaks. Two were back to back on the ninth. And then we had one nine days later on the 18th. And as usual, those those usually occur on smaller mains, six or eight inch mains. And those were two on six inch main and one on the eight inch main. And the crew was able to mobilize and that was during a colder stretch and they were able to repair those in pretty short order. They do continue to have good results with the electronic correlator that that the board had supported the purchase of last year. So let's let's turn out to be one of those tools that they're now using all the time. I think the only time it can be a little harder is if they're on a very busy road and there's a lot of street noise or a lot of traffic noise and the system can pick that up. Because basically it's listening to sound in the ground. So they had maybe one instance where I think they're on self business drive during a very busy time and the traffic was causing some interference. But otherwise the system's been very effective. They're very happy with it. Other highlights and distribution. The Stomberg subdivision water main was installed by by the developer actually and the water utility staff conducted the inspection of that water main. I'm sure it was going in perspective. And that now has been tested out and is mostly in service. And then just a variety. It's still catching up on water main brake service holes and hydrant broken, valve broken, a few issues like that for February. And then finally for um. So can I interrupt one second? The other day I noticed the hydrant laying on the ground. It's on like the frontage road off of South Business Drive where Taco Bell and Burger King and that stuff in that area. Is that private? It was actually on the ground? Are you like disconnected? Just laying on the ground. How far off the road? Right next to the corner, whether it turns into the parking lot for one of those businesses, a long self business drive, but on the back end of those businesses. There's a road that kind of goes through from the south side, Piggly Wiggly, all the way from Wendy's actually, all the way through there. Yeah. If that's private rather than public. That is private. That would be mostly private if it's, you know, more than 20 feet off the edge of the public street. Okay, yeah, okay. I mean, there's no water coming out or anything like that. It just looked like the hydrant was laying there. Yeah, they shouldn't be, you know, we'll take a peek at it and see what's going on, but they shouldn't be leaving it. You know, it may have been hit and came off, but it shouldn't be sitting there. So we'll take a look. Could have been buried under a snow pile too for that matter. Yeah, that's true. Okay. Sorry, didn't throw up. I will pass that along and we'll take a look at it tomorrow. Okay. Customer relations and fiscal. We did reopen the pay window and we're still saying much less activity at the window. Dramatically less at the window, more dropbox payments, more electronic payments. And we're still catching up on the liquid accounts apps at the disconnection program. We have seen more delinquent accounts building up and that's reflected as well. Number of calls coming in was a little bit down, not a huge difference. No complaints filed with public service commission for February. Leak allowances, this is where a customer has, you know, a leak going on that they're unaware of. Usually it's a toilet that's leaking. Customer doesn't know about it. We pick it up on meter reading and inform them. We did have one leak allowance. Customers are allowed an allowance every two years under certain criteria that they have to fulfill. We did start a little bit with some commercial meter replacements. 35 of those were completed. We do have one active private service lateral that is leaking and we're attempting to work with the owner to get them to hire a plumber to repair that leak because it is not utility asset. We can't just jump in there and fix it, but we will be working with the customer to get that accomplished. Is there a risk, Joe, with a leak like that that you could get some backflow into our system? Not backflow because it's under pressure, but there is a risk of undermining, you know, the right of way and the road depending on what's going on. So we do watch them carefully and if we feel like there is property, you know, or health hazard, we will occasionally get involved and physically make an emergency repair, but we try to avoid doing that and it's pretty rare that we do that. Okay. I think otherwise it's a summary for CRNF for the month of February. Any additional comments or questions for Joe on the reports? I have kind of a bunny trail if you don't mind. I was wondering if you were following the water problems in Texas and Oklahoma and all the mains breaking down there. Are they just burying their lines that much closer to the surface? Yeah, that's the main problem that I was aware of, Mark, that they're, you know, here we bury at least five and a half feet down and southerly, you know, maybe two feet, maybe less. And yeah, those can, you know, a couple days of freezing weather, the frost can dive through that down very quickly and start causing problems.   And those start freezing and, you know, customers have problems immediately. Yeah, that was a real crisis. Yeah, it sure was. All right, moving on with our agenda, if nothing else under Joe's reports. Could we need a motion to accept them? Yes, I'm sorry. Yes, we'll need a motion. So moved. I'll second it. All right. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Chair votes aye. Approved. Okay, items previously held over are raw water improvement projects. Yeah, update in several areas with the project. First of all, we did have a meeting utility staff, the engineering team, and some staff members from the public works department to discuss the impact of the project on the disc golf course at Volrath Park. And there's definite impact. The project will displace one of the disc golf holes. So we had reached out to the parks superintendent and the disc golf kind of volunteer coordinator just for some communications. One of the things we wanted to be sure was an understanding about time frame, because they do plan events. We didn't want any confusion that way. Now there's no construction anticipated for 2022, so there isn't any immediate issue coming up. But we wanted to be sure there was understanding there. And then on the hole that is displaced, just due to the location of the RWI building, there's a feeling that they may need to redesign that portion of the course to kind of squeeze in. They don't want to lose a hole, which is understandable, but they need a little bit of redesign work. How do we fit this hole back in and change the other holes or courses or whatever? I'm not a disc golfer. I don't quite know the terminology, but the gist of it was a good understanding about what the impact is going to be. And I need to develop a plan laid out by a firm that does disc golf design to accommodate the impact of the project. So that should be forthcoming. Other developments we do now have in our hands 60% design drawings and plans, and we're reviewing those. And we'll be meeting with the engineering team next week as follow up. That's 60% of final design. So we're getting a lot of details now. We're getting very far along in the process. And I would say they're on schedule to meet the June deadline for final design being completed. We should have an updated engineer's opinion of probable construction costs by the end of March. We'll be able to report on that figure next month. I'm hoping it's in line with what we've seen. I don't have any reason to think it would not be, but they are updating that now with those details. And that'll be important to have. They're also sending us a virtual reality headset. So the operation staff is going to use that and do their virtual walk through the facility and get a number of people involved with that. So that's kind of a nice tool. The third item related to the project, we do have an easement in place with the city of Sheboygan. And that was recorded in 2007, very early infant stages of the project when we recognized the project would be coming. And the board had requested about that point property to build and operate the project. And the city preferred a permanent easement agreement, not a property transfer. So we will be building the project on that easement. It looks like the building itself, due to high water and the interest in fitting a service road on the east side, the building is probably going to be 10 to 15 feet beyond the easement on the west side. And we may have to request a modification to accommodate that. But certainly the bulk of it is within the original easement that was laid out 13 years ago. And we didn't have all the details of what the project size would be in the precise location. And then the other update, one of the other approvals we need is from the Public Service Commission. We need a so-called construction authorization on the project due to its size and financial impact. And I've begun working on that document. It's pretty lengthy, probably end up being a 20-page report of the project addressing all of their questions and concerns about a project with this magnitude and basically a lot of justification. So we now have a rough draft of that document. And pending more of the 60% details coming out will update that once more. And then I would anticipate submitting that at the 60% design point, which PSC says it's allowable, in order to get that process moving because that is probably going to be a nine-month process with them. And I want that to be going in parallel as we apply for the safe drinking water loan and everything else is moving forward. So I would anticipate in the next month being ready to submit that to the PSC. And again, we've met with them at least two times in person and talked in detail about the project. So they know a lot about it. They know it's coming. They've anticipated some questions and communicated with us very well on the project so far. So the next month, we'll have more information, more details, and everything is moving along. The only other item I should mention, we've talked about the FEMA BRIC grants. We did apply for one on the shoreline protection system for the project. We're not going to know about that until probably late summer. There's been some consideration, maybe we should apply for the whole project. And we're still having discussion with the State Division of Emergency Management that is kind of the state manager of FEMA BRIC as to whether the whole project is really going to fit the criterion or not. There's a benefit analysis. And if your numbers and that don't come out high enough, there's no point in continuing forward. So they've kind of thrown up some red flags because FEMA BRIC is intended to mitigate natural disaster impact on infrastructure, public projects, and shoreline protection falls under the realm of high water and flooding, both of those. The overall project itself would only fall under possibly flooding because our current low-lift pump station is close to lake level and could, in theory, flood. But flooding has a very high or standard to make it through their benefit analysis. So they've kind of started to indicate that they're not sure the whole project is even going to make it through the analysis to move beyond that. So we're still evaluating that. And I'm hopeful within the next month or two that we'll have a better determination. I don't want to spend time on FEMA BRIC for the whole project. First of all, if it's not even passing the benefit analysis. And second of all, I kind of want to know that as soon as we can because it does impact when the project construction could begin. So we're trying to resolve that part of the financing question. And if we could get a 75 percent grant, obviously that'd be a wonderful thing. You know, there's a limited chance of that happening and possibly we might not even qualify to even apply. So I'm still trying to work with Lisa and others and resolve that question. Anything else? Any questions on that, Mark? No, I'm good. All right. Thanks for the report, Joe. On to number five, items for discussion, possible action. First, we've got approval of a bid on Georgia Avenue Water Mean project. Yes. Here we have a bid tabulation. Due to a number of factors, we teamed with the Public Works Department on their project in this instance, which we do, you know, not infrequently. If they're digging up a street and bidding out a lot of other work, it makes sense normally for us to join with them. So we did in this case as well. And the low bidder of the overall project was Fenton. And you can see the figures for the water main portion. And those did come in under our engineer's estimate. One risk is that when we bid out under a larger contract, that maybe the low bid for the whole contract isn't the low bid for our portion of the contract. But in this case, it came out as a reasonable on the water main. And we would certainly recommend moving forward with it. Do you recall what the budget was, Joe? It was about $850,000, if not a little more, maybe $875,000. Good. Any questions or comments? That was my big question. I'm good. All right, with that, we need a motion to approve the $788,000, $39,000 for the project. So moved. All in favor say aye. Aye. Chair votes aye. Motion carried. Next, number 5.2, approval on bid of Georgia and the lead service line replacements. Yes, in addition to the water main, one of the reasons we wanted to do the project was there are a lot of old lead service lines in that stretch of the city. And it provides us a good opportunity to replace an old main and replace a number of old lead service lines at the same time. Due to, in this case, receiving funding from the DNR grant program for lead service line replacements, we have to bid out the lead service line replacements separate from the water main work. This is due to some federal legal requirements that help clarify costs for just the lead service line grant projects. So anyway, what you have here is a bid for the lead service line replacements on the same project, but the prior bid was for the water main replacement. So in this case, we specced out the lead service line replacements. I believe there are 65 to 70 homes with lead service lines that we would be replacing. And in this case, we were happy to receive, I believe it was, it's five bids for that portion of the work. And we have a low responsive bid from a new company for us, Elfson excavating out of Reedsville came in low, and they came in at a bid under our local firms that have done projects like this in the past. So we feel it's a, it is a responsive bid and they're able to do the work. And we would recommend accepting their proposal. Do we have any testimonials from other folks that have worked with them? We have their bidder's proof, which lists other projects similar in nature that they have done, you know, type of equipment that they have. You know, they, they're certainly capable of doing this work. Is there, is there a way for us to check with a couple of those other projects just to make sure or you feel that what information we have is sufficient? I think under a publicly bid project, it would need very strong reason to, to deny a low-cost bid that's responsive. So I'm not sure that we'd be able to, you know, so to speak, have reference checks on them. If they were on the State Debar List, that would certainly be disqualifying. We could certainly ask for some information, contacts with past clients and kind of get a sense of maybe areas to, to, you know, watch out for so to speak if, in working with them. But I don't really think we could comply with State Bidding Law and, and do a reference check like that. Okay. All right. So we're looking at approving that bid for Alson, excavating out of Reedville. I will move to Kru. I'll second that. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all in favor say aye. Aye. Next, Joe, you said we have two, two projects as part of that or on this understanding? That was it for Georgia Avenue. Okay. All right. So 5.3 approval for bid on hydrant painting for 2021. Yes. So each year we put out an annual bid for, excuse me, blasting hydrants down to bare metal, priming and painting them.  We were delayed due to COVID last year. So we asked for an updated price of, and our vendor held same prices last year. So we're simply requesting to continue with work that was delayed and just wanted to be clear that it is a new year and they had bid it last year, but they're holding their price and we'd like to continue it for 2021. Does this get us back on track with the hydrant maintenance? It does. Yes. Excellent. All right. Any further discussion? Not for me. If not, we'll accept the motion to approve from Davies. Is there a second? I will second it. All in favor say aye. Aye. Chair votes aye. Motion carried. All right. The engineering design on Indiana and the Waterloo Project number 5.4. Yes. So the DOT is doing a rebuild on a state highway, the Indiana Avenue state highway portion in the city. Forget what state highway number that is, 28 maybe, but whatever it is. DOT is doing a project and it's encompassing South 24th Street, South Taylor Drive is the relevant portion for us. They're doing road reconstruction entirely in that section. We have a very small old water main there, eight inch water main that used to be the sole supply to the UW campus. So if you imagine that water main coming down Indiana Avenue, crossing Taylor Drive and then going to Lutheran High and the campus area, that was the sole feeder for that area for many, many years. It's old main. It's very deep. I think portions of it there are 15 feet or possibly a little deeper than that. What we'd like to do is replace that and start to build up a better corridor. Eliminate that very deep water main, which is safety hazard and start to kind of strengthen our water distribution in that area now that we have the hospital. And we still have the UW campus, which no possibly will be growing. The hospital and the campus are fed from the north as well. I'm sorry, from the south as well, but there isn't much networking or backbone so to speak. So this Indiana Avenue really serves as the backbone to that area. And we do envision in the future more water transmission along South Taylor Drive in that area, possibly linking to the Urey Avenue water reservoirs, Taylor Hill. So it is an important corridor that's just been undeveloped with water main. But the extent of what we would like to do is replace from White Forest Street to Taylor Drive. Unfortunately, as this is a DOT project, we can't just jump in with our engineering department and comply with their specs and drawing details. We don't have the means to do that. And nor do they want individual utilities doing that. So the consulting engineer on the project is a strand. And they are certainly reputable Wisconsin Civil Engineering Company. So we asked strand for a quote to do the water main design in compliance with DOT specs and all of their criterion, working closely with us and reducing a lot of their work because we know what we want in that area. They don't have to start from scratch. So what the supervisor of McMillan was able to see from them was a proposal to do that design work and make it comply with DOT bidding requirements. We do have an hourly charge-out rate not to exceed $25,000. I think it can come in somewhat under that figure, but there is, you know, it is a significant stretch of water main to design and lay out and take some time, certainly. Are we envisioning, what size are we envisioning and putting in there? Probably 12 inch. Well, okay. And at some point, will something have to run to the Kohler Arts Preserve or anything out there? We do have a water main serving the Art Preserve. We had installed a river crossing a couple of years ago from the Lutheran High area, but it also is served by this 8 inch kind of substandard main in Indiana Avenue. Yeah, you're right here. We have a 12 inch, basically brand new river crossing right there that is feeding the Arts Center and whatever else might come in that area. Okay. Any further comments or questions for Joe? One second. An exciting project. Yep. Yeah. There are no comments. We'll accept the motion to approve the Stranding Associates and the Water Main Project. So moved. I'll second it. Move to second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Terrible time. Number 5.5 approval of water meters. So with the startup of the disconnection program in mid-April, we're starting to think about returning to our water meter changeup program. We're required to change water meters up per PSC specs. And that program has been on hold. We now want to start that up when we feel it's safe to do so here. And I think that will be in the very near future. But we do want to lay in some stock of our standard M25 batch or meters, a few larger commercial 3 inch meters and such shown on the requisition. And these are just going to be replaced on an as needed basis. Yeah, that's right. Most of the meters we're running 20 years now. Okay. All right. I will make the motion to approve the purchase of the meters from Badger meter. I'll second that. All in favor say aye. Aye. Terrible time. Terrible time. Moving on to the agenda. Nothing under personnel. I want to compliment everybody on wearing the water color today. Anyway, we're making an assumption, Tom. Yeah, we're making an assumption. Exactly. Next meeting scheduled for April 19th that work for everyone else. Yes, I'm good. We're still going to be around. Yep, I'm good. Not going on vacation. All right. We'll see everybody on the 19th of April. Okay. For those of you who don't have the second shot, enjoy. How do we do on water utility personnel could get shots? Correct, Joe? They have direct front line contact with the public and are unable to socially distance. Yes, they're in 1B. Okay. All right. With that, I will accept the motion to adjourn our meeting. That's all moved. I'll second it. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Terrible time. Enjoy the snow tonight. After that, that's the last one. So, we all hope. We all hope. Joe, I got to tell you, I do like this board docs process. I can look at the documents here on my iPad. This works well. Yeah, I've got two monitors, so I'm looking at them on one monitor and looking at you guys on the other. I'm not sure which is more exciting. I'll just say you're not checking the baseball scores on that third monitor, there's someone here. Well, the season hasn't started yet. Okay. All right. Have a good day. The rest of it anyway, guys. Thanks. Bye, guys.


Welcome back. Corporate Citizen Rainforest Adventures has made a significant contribution to its home-based community, Babono. Jesse Leos reports on the handing over ceremony of a playground to the forest or preschool. The ceremony, according to General Manager of Rainforest Adventures, marked the culmination of almost a year of planning. The Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, Natural Resources and Corporatives and Parliamentary Representative for Babono had solicited the assistance of the corporate entity to complete the playground. A venture General Manager, Darryl Raymond said was a no-brainer as it aligned fully with the organization's commitment to community. Rainforest Adventures believes in green spaces. We believe in allowing people to play and enjoy the natural environment. That is our ethos, that is what we are about as a company. To a project like this naturally, we would embrace. Even more importantly, we believe that physical activity, particularly among our young people, is critical. So this space allows our young children to recreate and play and sets the foundation for their development. We also see this park as a place where members of the community at large can come, families can come with their kids. So it will encourage community building and family cohesion and bonding. And also, most of our team members, we have about 90 staff. The majority of them are from this area and communities surrounding, many of whom have children who have either attended or currently attend this preschool. So it is our little way to give back and say thank you. Minister of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development, Dr. the Honourable Gail Rigoport, highlighting the importance of play to the development of children, welcome to the play area. The engagement in play builds a child's creativity and imagination. It provides for the development of important social skills, such as learning to take turns, cooperating, getting along and team building. Additionally, children develop their fine and gross motor skills in the simplest play activities, such as throwing and catching a ball. Play helps children learn to develop skills and expressing themselves and exploring their experiences, ideas and emotions. Minister and Parliamentary Representative for the area Honourable Ezekiel Choseff expressed gratitude to Reinforced Adventures for their assistance in completing the project. We have discussed it, and again, apart from establishing this facility, Mr. Rimon has agreed to employ a full-time person, especially while we are speaking of the use of this facility by the students at the preschool. You heard Mr. Rimon speak of the use of this facility by the community. So definitely by employing someone to behave full-time on weekends, we are hoping that the community can see the need for us to bring our children here and to recreate. The children's playground was officially handed over to the Foin Saup preschool on Wednesday the 13th of January 2021. For the Government Information Service, I am Jesse Leance reporting.


So in this video, I'm going to be talking about how you can go about making your very first hundred thousand dollars on the internet, right? A lot of you guys, you know, that's for some, for most of you guys, that's a lot of money, right? So I decided to dedicate this video to educate you guys as to how you can go about making your very first hundred thousand dollars on the internet. Now guys, if you're interested in finding out these strategies and these steps, I suggest you stick around to the very end of this video. Hey guys, and welcome back to my YouTube channel. My name is Tapolis as you already know. Hey guys, I know you're enjoying this video, but before you do anything, click the subscribe button right now. Just click it, click it right now. So guys, in this video, I'm going to be talking about how to go about making your very first hundred thousand dollars on the internet. Now, a lot of you guys are most likely expecting me to talk about Forex because you guys obviously know that I'm predominantly an FX trader. However, what you guys don't know is, aside from Forex, I also have other businesses that I run on the internet as well, whereby we sell products and services and stuff like that. So what I do is I like to balance both out. If I'm not trading, I'm running my online business. If I'm not running my online businesses, I'm trading as well. Both of them have been absolutely very rewarding. But in this video, I want to teach you guys has nothing to do with trading. I want to teach you guys is step by step procedure so that you guys can go ahead and start making a lot of money for yourself. You have to understand that we're just coming right off the pandemic. For those of you guys who are watching this video right after this video comes out from him, I watch it a year, two years later. But as of the time I'm shooting this video, we are actually just coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and people need an extra source of income. People need that. People need that breakthrough. People need the steps. People need the formula. People need something to look up to. People need to make money. Period, right? So I speak about Forex all the time. Today I want to speak about something a little different. Alright guys, so the first things first, right? The first step you want to go if or rather the first thing you want to do if you want to go ahead start making $100,000 in income or you want to make that first hundred K is step number one. You want to decide do I want to first of all you have to understand that you need to provide value to the marketplace before you're going to get any money. You need to provide something either it's in form of a service or a product, right? So step number one is you need to decide within yourself. What can I provide to the marketplace? Can I provide a service or can I provide a product, right? So for most of you guys providing a service would be a lot easier.  So that is a service or you can go ahead and say, okay, I want to sell products, right? But for those of you guys who are relatively new to the entrepreneurship space, I encourage you guys to start with services, right? So you want to go ahead and provide a service, come on the internet, provide services to people or you want to go ahead and provide products and sell them on the internet as well. So you need to decide, do I want to do a service-based business or do I want to do a product-based business? Now guys, this is a very important question you need to ask yourself. I would suggest you start off with services, okay, before you move into products. The reason why I'm saying this is that services are a lot easier to kick off than products because for products you have to worry about inventory, where to sell them and all that kind of stuff. But for services, it's just you providing the service to a customer, right? So notwithstanding you can kick off the products, okay, just saying. Either of them is fine, but step number one is you need to decide am I going to sell products or am I going to provide a service, right? Step number two is you want to package and brand that product or a service, right? So for instance, let's say a service, you might be a graphic designer. Guys, I don't care what you do. Whatever thing it is you do, that service you're providing, it can provide you $100,000 in income, regardless of what you do. As long as you can provide the service to people on the internet, because the internet is the only place you can literally come and scale your business really, really fast because there are a lot of people on the internet. You can provide a lot more services to a lot more people from one single location. So it's a lot more scalable, right? So like I was saying, step number two is you want to package your product or a service. You want to make it look very nice and very attractive. And what are the one of the ways you can go about doing this, right? So if, for instance, you're providing a service, you want to create your brand around that service.   And then you want to come on internet and start providing services. You want to start providing content. You want to start, you want to let the internet, the internet world know that. Listen, I provide services and I'm a graphic designer and this is what I can do. Package it, have a flyer, have a portfolio, have an Instagram page. All these things I'm saying are absolutely free. Use free resources to package your service or product. Now over to the product aspect of things. How do you go about packaging your product is very simple. What for products? For instance, this is a chewing gum, right? This product, in terms of packaging this product, when you get it from your supplier, from wherever it is you get it from, it's going to be packaged already. So what you need to do is for you to be able to sell your product, now this is no longer a service, for you to be able to sell your product on the internet, actually for you to sell both of them, either of them, you need to have something called a landing page. Now a landing page is like a page that pretty much showcases all the features and benefits of a service or product. So a service can be, okay, I'm a graphic designer, you put your work on there, you describe everything, all the testimonials on the page and all that. That's a service or a product you might be selling in freaking glasses cases, right? And then you come on the product page and then you write all the good things about it. Step number two is you want to package it and brand it and make it look really nice. One tip I always use is I always like to look at my competitors. Me, I provide services, I provide products, okay? I do both, right? So I'm in the best position to tell you which one to kick off with, right? And how best to sell it, okay? So you want to package your product very nicely, okay? Make it look really nice and you want to build a landing page. A landing page, like I said earlier, is a page that showcases your product, all the features, the benefits, all the questions that your potential customers might have. You want to list them on your landing page, okay? If there's a service, like I said, package yourself. If you're the one providing the service, you can package yourself, your Instagram, your Facebook, around that service. If you don't want to do that, simply build a landing page. And obviously, because people need to see the product before they buy.   How do they get to know you? They know you from your landing page.  How do they like you? They need to see everything that's what you're offering. And they need to trust you. How do they trust you from testimonials? Everything you put on your landing page, they will see it. And then if they like it, then they obviously buy from you. So branding and packaging is so important to selling your product or service. All right, guys, hold it right there. This is a public service announcement. You're watching this video. You want to make money on the internet. I've put together a free training. Click the link below. What you can do is watch this video till the very end. A lot of valuable information. But if you want a step-by-step free training as to how you can go about setting up your online business, selling the product or service, click the link below. And I'll see you in the other training.  And then obviously watch the free training and I'll see you on the free training as to how you can actually build your online business. So I'll see you guys back in the video. Bye. Guys, so step number three, which I feel is the most important aspect of things is advertising. So guys, first of all, now we have a product. We have product or service. We know what we want to sell. Bottom line, we know what we want to sell. Second step is we found out how to showcase the product or service by building a landing page. Step number three is we need to be able to attract people to our product. We need to advertise our product, right? Promotion because people equals promotion. Promotion equals people. And people equals money. Promotion equals people and people equals money. So we need to be able to market and advertise our product or service to the world. So how do you go about marketing and advertising your products to the world? There's something that I like to use. We call this God's gift to my generation, okay? It's called Facebook advertising. Powerful. I think Facebook and Google advertising and YouTube advertising as well. Obviously there's Snapchat and Twitter and all that about Facebook advertising. Oh my goodness.  So guys, advertise your products or service on Facebook. So how do you go about this, right? You want to create a really nice ad about whatever thing it is you're selling. Service or product. Create the ad, okay? Now once you create the ad, you'll spend a little bit of change running the ad because people need to see, like guys, it's crazy how people build stuff and they just expect people to come. Hell no. Let me tell you something, guys. The best product in the market is not always necessarily the best product in the market. The best product in the market is the product that you know. The best product in the market is the product that everybody knows. Everybody knows it because they advertise it. They're products that are usually always better than the best product in the market. But why are people not buying that one? Because they're not marketing it the right way. So you don't even need to have the best product. You don't need to be the best at what you do. Just market that damn thing like it's the best product or service in the industry, right? Facebook ads run the ad and show that when people click on your Facebook ad it takes them straight to that landing page that I told you to build, okay? That showcases your product. People see it and they click, obviously, they click on it and they're interested. So guys, use Facebook ads, use YouTube ads, use Google ads to spend money, promote that hustle. Promote that product, promote that service. This is the most systematic way to go about. Alright guys, so step number last, okay? You want to build payment platforms so that you can receive all this money. You don't need to build payment payment platforms. They are payment platforms that you can integrate to your landing page. Landing page is basically where people see your product or see your service. You want to have platforms that will help you receive payment from customers because trust me, they will come. If you have a product or service and you market it the right way, people will come and the worst thing is people coming and you don't have ways to accept the payment. You want to have local bank accounts. You want to have international bank accounts. You want to have payment platforms that people can use their cards to pay. I remember when I kicked off in online space, we were only doing wire transfer. Like if you only transfer money from your bank account to our bank account, right? But we had a lot of people who wanted to pay with their card. A lot of people were stressed out. You will be surprised. A lot of people don't have internet or mobile banking. We were losing a lot of customers because a lot of them were saying I have to go to the bank. They never had time. Eventually they were no longer interested in the product. So guys, we lost a lot of money because we didn't have different payment avenues to collect payments from customers. Local bank accounts are very important. International bank accounts are very important. Stripe. You want to open a stripe account because with Stripe, clients, you can send somebody a payment link. They will use their card to pay for the product or service. And then that's exactly how you go about receiving payments. So guys, the last step is you want to have your payment platforms available, readily available. Literally, if I go on my phone, the notes section, I have a tab called payment platforms. I have all the links. So even if you want to pay from PayPal, you want to pay from Stripe, you want to pay from local international. So once you come in contact with my product, I would ensure that you buy the product. Even Bitcoin, we accept Bitcoin. That's how serious we are about this whole shenanigans. All right, guys. So that's pretty much it. So let's do a quick recap as to what we've learned today. So today we've pretty much learned how to go about obviously kicking off that online business that's going to pay us $100,000. Obviously how to make $100,000. So like we said, the $100,000 will come, but first you need to first. Step one is we need to identify. Do we want a product or service? You pick one. Product or service, you can make a lot of money doing either of them. If you don't know where to get a product or if you don't have an idea, I have a free training right below. Click it.  So step number one is we need to decide are we doing the service or product? Okay. So once we decide which of them, step number two is we need to package it and showcase it to the world. How do we package it and showcase it? Build a landing page. Have a page that discuss, guys, landing pages these days are relatively free. Build one. Spend two hours building one you can build. It's literally drag and drop. Build it and then make it look really nice. Okay. So we have, okay, so let's say we're doing a product. So we have a product that we want to sell. Step number two is we need to build a landing page to showcase this product so that when our customers come, they see it, it gives them all the information so they don't need to disturb you and ask you, oh, how does this work? All the information that you think your clients will ever need, put them on the landing page. Okay, guys. So step number two is we've showcased our product. Step number three is what we want to do here is we want to advertise the product. Okay. So now guys, you can advertise something and showcase. You can advertise something in your house. You want to advertise straight to that landing page. Go on Facebook ads. Like I said, Facebook ads is God's gift to this generation. Everybody's on Facebook. We've got over three billion people. Your customer reach is endless with Facebook ads. Endless. Okay. So run Facebook ads straight to your landing page. Your landing page showcases your product and service. And there you go. So use Facebook ads to advertise your product or service. Step is you want to ensure that you have payment platforms integrated to your landing page. You want to ensure that you have every single avenue to accept payments in international currency, in local currency.  You want to also even have a Bitcoin wallet because some people, they just gone totally crypto.  You want to ensure that you have a wallet to be able to, a crypto wallet to be able to obviously transact with clients who want to pay in cryptocurrency.   And that's exactly how you can go from making $3,000 a month to making over $100,000 a month. So guys, there you go. I pretty much summarize how you can go about making $100,000 a month.
