German Taurus for Ukraine. UK offers Schultz way out of dilemma. The UK offered Germany the purchase of Taurus long-range cruise missiles which the Ukrainian side has been asking Berlin for a long time but without a positive result report handles black. It is reported that London in turn plans to provide Ukraine with additional storm shadow missiles. The German media notes that an appropriate way out of the dilemma for Berlin regarding the German Taurus missiles has been discussed and considered with the British side for several weeks and a corresponding proposal has been sent. Diplomat and government officials told journalists about this in particular. For months a fierce dispute has raged over the delivery of German cruise missiles to Ukraine. Now a proposal from the British is on the table that could help the Chancellor Olaf Scholz out of a tight spot. The article says Ukraine previously requested long-range Taurus missiles from Germany which are capable of destroying targets at a distance of up to 500 kilometers as recently as last year. At the same time German Chancellor Olaf Scholz opposed such an idea. He worries that with the help of such weapons Ukraine can launch missile strikes on the territory of Russia.


So, three months ago I started to build a brand new audience. This audience doesn't know who I am, doesn't know my background, doesn't know that I have this channel, I haven't revealed my name, I haven't revealed to you what that new project is so that there's no cross-pollination between the audiences at all so that I can create a real experiment and experience of building a new audience from scratch, having integrity doing that without saying, well, you know, what I don't want is for you to tell me a year or two later, well, George, of course your new thing is successful because you already are successful. No, no, this new audience doesn't know who I am yet, so I started doing this three months ago and now I want to share with you where I am now with that and what the learnings are. I'm still not going to reveal it to you for another, probably nine months, so you got to be patient and I'm being patient as well because I do want to make some sales with a new audience before I reveal it again to have the integrity of saying, nope, I did it from scratch not because they knew who I was, does that make sense? So that you can learn from my lessons of starting from scratch again. All right, so the first, by the way, if you haven't yet followed my lessons from month one and month two, I'll put the links in the notes of the video later after I get those together. Those have been written already, but I'll put the links later. So now in month three, what I'm coming up with is, you know, I'm dreaming about what I could offer this new audience, by the way, I should mention I only have a Facebook business page for that new audience and I don't have a website yet. I don't have any other social media channels, just a Facebook business page. So because I only have less than two hours per week to work on that new project. And so I'm being really strategic about it. And Facebook business pages are, in my experience, the easiest way to build a relevant new audience that can measure engagement and can really engage with them in a thoughtful way. So that's what I'm doing. Now in three months in, I'm now able to reach, in terms of a warm audience who has engaged with my content for the past three months, three to 500 people, depending on how much I want to spend. But basically, if I spend between $10 to $30 on an ad, I can reach three to 500 of them at least once, the people who have already been engaging with my stuff. So that's pretty cool. So three to 500 person warm audience in three months with less than two hours per week of work. And of course, I have been spending about $150 to $250 a month. So about $200 a month in Facebook ads for that new audience. Now if you don't have that money to spend, then you just need to spend more time. You need to spend more time distributing your posts in other ways. I have a whole other blog post called How to Build an Audience from Scratch. Just Google it right now as of September 28, 2018. It's my blog post. That's the newest blog post on my website, georgecow.com. But if you are watching this months and months later, just Google How to Build an Audience from Scratch, George Cow, and you'll find that blog post. So that's my wisdom in how to do that. But as I'm now having a warm audience, I'm now dreaming about what I could offer them. I could offer them a membership program, like absolutely little time, right? So I can't really take on clients in that new business unless I start taking some time away from this business. So I'm thinking the first thing I offer them is probably not going to be one-on-one. Now you might be saying, George, but your 10-year plan, those of you who don't know my 10-year plan, Google that, 10-year plan, 10-year business plan, George Cow, and you'll see my 10-year plan, which I recommend to everybody to consider following the 10-year business plan for semi-retirement. And my first-year plan is to build an audience with content. Second-year plan, my recommendation is to do one-on-one services first because that makes money the fastest, and that's sort of the easiest to sell. But I don't need to make money in this new business yet. I mean, I have a full-time income here. I don't need to make money there, and I don't have much time there. So I'm thinking of offering more passive income products to them first. So probably a membership site, maybe start with 25 bucks a month or 50 bucks a month, I guess some additional premium content, something like that. Maybe a group coaching program if I can swing it with my time. Maybe I would do thoughtful, relevant, authentic affiliate marketing to that audience. And some of you who followed me a couple years ago when I was really anti-affiliate marketing may be shocked to hear this. Because I was really, a couple years ago, I came out with a strong stance against affiliate marketing, but I've softened that stance a bit. I think that if I do it from a very thoughtful perspective and, of course, letting them know that, hey, I'm sponsoring this, meaning I believe in it, and I'm going to be earning a commission if you buy this, I believe in it. So I'm a user myself of the product or whatever it is, I think if it's unthoughtfully and not with trickery, it can be a very good source of income. I've experienced that in the past, and I might try that for this new audience. But the thing is this, there's so many options of things I could offer my audience. I'm starting to dream about it, but the key that I have to realize, and I am applying this key, is to not get distracted from audience building. The potential problem is when I say, oh, I've got to figure out what I want to offer before I continue to create content and build an audience. Have you ever experienced that? Oh, I got to figure out what my offering's going to be before I write the next blog post, before I make the next video, before I continue to build out my brand? Mistake, almost always it is better to keep building an audience before you figure anything else out. Before you figure out your brand, before you figure out your logo, before you figure out even your name, before you figure out your offerings, product services, anything. In fact, I am now undergoing a very likely change in the business name of that new business, of that new brand, of that new community. I started with a particular phrase that I was going to build a movement around. And three months in, I'm like, may not be the best phrase, may not be the best name of the business page, and the best topic that I'm building the whole thing around. So I took a poll of my warm audience existing, and I said, hey, what about this other idea, this other unifying theme instead of this original idea? And thus far, everyone who's responded to the poll likes the new idea better than the original one that I thought was going to be my legacy and whatever. Yeah, I thought I had a really cool name, and then this new name, this new idea is even better. So I am actually in the next month going to be switching the business page name of the new business and the theme is going to be surrounding something different. I mean, it's all still around spiritual growth and personal development, but it's framed differently going forward. So am I sad that I've already built the warm audience of three to 500? No, I'm glad because you see, authentic business is one that keeps up with your own personal evolution. And authentic business is not something that is only left brain.  Now, of course, later on, I will scale this authentic business and use ads to scale sales of products so that it can become a full-time passive income. Fine, I could do that if I want to.  You're still figuring out who you really want to serve and what you really want to talk about. That's not the time to limit yourself and say, well, it has to be figured out before I take the next steps. That's unfortunate. That would be foolishness. No, you keep taking steps of building an audience, saying whatever comes out of your mouth and then adjusting with your audience's feedback on what you're calling really is. Because you're calling is the intersection of your understanding of your passion and your audience's excitement and needs and wants for what they want to buy, particularly. So that's not to be figured out in your own journaling. That's not to be figured out in your own closet with your own naval gazing, right? No, it's with your own business coach, with your own marketing expert. No, you don't, as a business coach, marketing coach, I always tell my clients, no, we can't figure out what your audience really wants. Only your audience can tell you what they really want. And the only way for them to tell you is for you to humbly present to them what you have and to see if they'll take it. This is true marketing. This is the truth, the absolute truth. If there was anything as close to an absolute truth and the absolute formula for success, for business and for marketing, there is one word only, experiment. There is nobody can tell you, no matter how smart the marketing expert, they cannot tell you, oh, this product is gonna work. Oh, you've got this brand right. Oh, this name is the perfect name. Oh, this blog post is gonna go viral. Oh, this membership program, this product launch, your program launch is gonna go really well. If they're telling you that, they're lying to you. I have 10 years of experience marketing now with thousands of entrepreneurs having worked with, the only word is experiment, the only word. Now, of course, the business coach, the marketing expert can help you hold your hand while you experiment together and can experiment more wisely, but the only word is experiment, that's it. So I'm applying that to my new business. I'm experimenting a lot with different types of content. Well, I already, if you read my previous post about this new business, you'll know that I experimented with different types of content and turns out they like my writing, they don't like my videos, okay? So I stopped doing videos there for now. At least with a cold audience, I'm only posting writings to them and then with my warm audience soon, I'm gonna start adding videos because I'll force them to watch my videos so that I can really build a relationship with them, my warm audience and eventually enroll them into a kind of program or something like that. So the lesson here is do not get distracted from audience building, do not figure things out, build your audience while you are figuring out, let them help you figure it out based on the response. Does that make sense? Super, super, super important to remember and to keep going. So don't stop audience building. If you've stopped audience building, you may be misled by some other marketing person, honestly. It's not the right time to stop. The time to keep audience building is always, okay? And then figure out the offerings later, figure out the brand later, figure out the content later, keep audience building with whatever comes out of your mouth, whatever comes out of your fingertips with your writing or whatever comes out of your camera, whatever content you're creating. Okay, keep going. Second lesson I'm learning here, I've written some notes, so I'm kind of referring to the notes from my monthly learnings here. Remember to go into what you've already written. You have already been journaling, writing little post-it notes or writing journals or what, writing things for years, writing documents, maybe it's in your Google Docs, Google Drive, maybe it's in your Word Docs and your computer. It's time to pull those out to get some inspiration and ideas for repurposing those things. And so that's what I'm doing now. I don't have to create everything from scratch, right?  It's not something that you just learned about today and you're gonna start building a business around.  And now you're building a business around it. Come get back to that old notes, those old notes, bring it out and then write and then create content and go from there. And then the next lesson is just write, just speak. Perfection is not allowed. Even in this business, as you can see, my videos are very imperfect. I've said this before and I'll say it again.  And those of you who like me as I am will stay and you're the ones I would love to work with. Do you see what I mean? Purposely dressed down. I don't wear any suits. I just recently saw some other guys, some other marketing expert, like he's in this fancy car, wearing a suit, his hair is perfect. And I'm like, oh man, I hope I never become like that because I would be exhausted having to dress up like that and having to look so perfect. And I just show up, dude, I'm here.  It's like, wasn't that great? Some of you don't like me, some of you leave. And that's great because you can go to that perfect guy who has to show up perfectly all the time and that's his brand and that's fine. Maybe he's not exhausted. Maybe he loves it, more power to him. But what I'm saying is we all need to find our authentic style. Maybe that is his authentic style and that's great. Keep going. For me, that's exhausting. For me, what gives me energy, what gives me excitement is to be able to show up with my heart, first and foremost, that needs to be, that's where I put my energy. With my heart, with my authentic style, not pretending, not having to be anybody, not having to be a guru. I don't wanna be anybody's guru. I show up, no perfection is allowed, I speak. I make mistakes, I stumble. I go, wait, I wanted to say this instead. I keep going, just right, okay? And speaking is easier for me now because I've been practicing making mistakes speaking for years and I'm now very comfortable making mistakes in front of you, right? Making a fool of myself. And I have to, I really have to give credit to, and this might sound surprising, I give credit to my evangelical Christian past. I used to identify as an evangelical Christian, I no longer do. Sorry for those of you who are, you might, George, you lost your faith. I lost my dogmatism, I would say. And I lost my, yes, it's true. I lost my Jesus is the only way faith, but I've expanded it, you might say.  But what I did learn for my Christian days is to be a fool for Christ, right? That's a wonderful, wonderful term from Christianity that we can all, if you're Buddhist, be a fool for Buddha, right? If you're Hindu, be a fool for Krishna or whatever.     I don't care, you know? What I care about is service. I don't care how I look. I care if I serve you.    And so what's harder for me now, what's easy is to speak with mistakes. What's harder is to write with mistakes, because when I am presented with a blank screen, I'm still intimidated, but I still do it twice a week. As you know, as you follow my blog, it's quite consistent. Now I'm finally blogging my website instead of on medium.com, I'll talk about that next, but I'm still intimidated, and I still ignore the intimidation, and I still say just write, perfection is not allowed. I just write, I just say whatever.  It doesn't have to be brilliant writing. I just share what's on my mind. I just share what might be useful. I don't know. I don't know if it's useful, but I'm just going to share, okay? So perfection is not allowed, just write. Third, third, next lesson I've been learning is I started a medium.com profile for this new business, and I spent about a month posting on medium.com, and I've said this before, and I'll say it again, medium.com is terrible for visibility. Do not expect that you can just post on medium.com, and suddenly you'll get traffic from Google or from the medium community. If you've tried it, you know that it's crickets, crickets, just like Google+, right, crickets. So I've got zero views on all of my articles on medium.com for my new business, so I've stopped doing medium.com for the new business. Now for my current business, and you know I post on medium all the time, and it's because I've been sending lots of my email subscribers over to my medium.com profile for years, and so because a lot of you are following me there now, now of course I'm going to keep it up, but if you're brand new, and you don't want to bother your own current network and try to bring them over to medium.com, it takes a lot of, it takes really engaging with the medium.com community. If you're willing to do that, if you're willing to comment on other people's posts on medium.com and really engage there a lot to finally build up an audience there, fine, do it, fine, good, but please do not be under the fantasy that you can just post there and suddenly get traffic. It's not going to happen, zero. Okay, so I hope that helps. Okay, and so, oh, another lesson here is I am, for my new business, I am posting really long articles, boosting those to cold audiences, rather than trying to build an audience with memes that are really attractive and that, so here's the lesson. The lesson is when you're building an audience, you want to build a true audience, not just building an audience for the numbers.  Now, you might say, what? Facebook images are the best for engagement. Yes, but for a cold audience, I really question that. Okay, for me anyway, I question that because think about it, what kind of people do you want who follow you? Do you want people who are easy to please or easy to get when you post a wonderful image, it looks great, but they might be liking the image, but not reading your thing. I want people who are patient enough to read my 500 to 1,000 word blog post and engage with it, that's who I want. And so that's what I'm paying the advertising dollars to get. I don't want people who just like a quote, a roomy quote. Who doesn't like a roomy quote? Who doesn't like a quote from Buddha or from Jesus or from whatever famous person? Everybody likes it, it's easy to like it and therefore you build a really irrelevant audience.  No, build an audience of people who like your writing or build an audience of people who like your videos. Now that's much harder, that's much harder. Building an audience of people who like your writing is much easier, okay? So that's another lesson that might be useful for you. Next lesson for me right now is I've made a decision. I started with this new business, I'm like, well, maybe I should go global. I've got this country, that country, a bunch of different countries I could become famous in for this new thing, came to realization in the future as I, excuse me, as I offer coaching in that new business, as I offer live events, virtual events in that new business. I want people in my time zone. One of the challenges in my current business is some of you are all over the world and I've had to now do things in different time zones with some of you are in Europe, some of you are in Australia. Also Europe and Australia and North America, oh my God, Asia, I was like, oh, all these different time zones I have to think about. It's, to be honest, it's kind of a hassle, right? So in my new business, I've decided just to focus on North America, just North America. So US and Canada, I'm restricting my ads just to US and Canada in my new business so that as I build that one out, I can just relax and go, okay, basically US time zones, Canadian time zones are gonna be great for that new one. So you have to make a decision. If you're gonna build an audience, you might as well build an audience in your time zone, okay? Let's stop this madness of this fantasy of building a global audience, globally known leader. I don't wanna be a globally known leader anymore. I wanna be a North American known leader who could do stuff at his time zone and be very happy with doing that, okay? So there's more than enough people. There are more than enough people in your time zone. I don't know what is the craze about being a globally known leader. It sounded really cool in the beginning and now I, to be honest, kind of regret being a globally known person. Now I wish I was a North American known person. Time zone is much, much simpler and travel is much, much simpler too. If I wanna go travel and do conferences or whatever. So there's more than enough people in any time zone and you just have to, thankfully, with Facebook ads or Google ads or whatever ads you wanna do, Instagram ads, you can restrict to your time zone, okay? All right, so the last final lesson is three months in. I am finally starting to have a rhythm that's easier to focus just on my creativity. So this is true for any new business, any new audience building effort. It's gonna take you time to figure out what your rhythm is. So don't assume that, oh, I haven't figured it out so something must be wrong with me. No, nothing is wrong. It just takes time to figure out what your process is now. And now I've figured it out. Now I have a process. I wrote about that in my second month report. So that's my process and now I'm settling into that process and now I can focus on the creativity part or focus on the writing part of it. Focus on the audience engagement part of it. So anyway, I hope this is helpful. I know it's kind of a rambling video, sharing all these various lessons but I think for any of you who are building a brand new audience, it should be interesting at the very least. And anyway, any questions you have, let me know if I can answer. I know there's a lot of things that are obvious to me about building a new audience that might not be obvious to you. So please feel free to ask me, comment below what your questions are and I'd be happy to address that in a future video. So thanks for those of you who are able to join me live. Thank you, Shelley, for your great comments. And thank you to Roy as well and Yule and Captain and Nadia. Actually, I never know how to pronounce your first name. You gotta pronounce it for me. Nad Yeda, I think. So thank you, Michelle, thank you. Jeremy, thanks for joining. Stacey, thank you. Karen, who else is here? Becky and Catherine. So thank you all so much. All right, have a great rest of your day and keep building your audience. Keep building it. And that way you will have a true fan base you can engage with to make offerings that they will love. Blessings.


In the previous segments of this module, we have gone through the argument as laid out by Marx in the first 25 chapters of Capital. We have understood two important aspects. One how capital generates surplus value through the exploitation of workers and second how surplus value generates capital through the reinvestment of capital in of surplus value in the production process. With that we have a pretty good understanding of some of the key structural features of capitalism. So at the end of this analysis, Marx now returns to a question that was implicitly there throughout his analysis but he had not asked and that question was what are the conditions of origin of the capitalist mode of production? Now by this he did not only mean a historical question as how did capitalism emerge in Western Europe in a particular time. Even though Marx's main focus in capital was the historical question, the answer that he provided can really be used to understand features of the emergence of capitalism from other modes of production wherever that happens and whenever that happens. The answer that Marx provided was the notion of primary accumulation of capital or the original accumulation of capital. Some commentators have translated from the German and have used the term primitive accumulation of capital. It is better to use the term original accumulation or primary accumulation because the translation primitive accumulation is not correct. Moreover it gives a idea that the notion is only meant to capture a historical process but as I said even though Marx's question was historical in nature, the concept he came forward with can be used to understand capitalism whenever it emerges even in contemporary times. So what is this idea about the primary accumulation of capital? Again to answer this question let us go back to the circuit of capital. The circuit of capital starts with the sum of money. So a capitalist comes to the market with the sum of money, purchases a bundle of commodities. Well, there are two different types of commodity he purchases, the means of production which are the non-labour inputs to production and labour power. Once these two things are purchased, the capitalist leaves the sphere of exchange and enters the sphere of production. In the production process, labour power and means of production are brought together and once the production process ends, the finished commodities emerge. Then the capitalist returns to the market because he is not really interested in those commodities. He wants to convert them back into money making sure that he has more money at the end than he started with. So he sells it in the market to get a sum of money and prime. So this is a most complete and abstract representation of the logic of capital, the logic of a capitalist system. So to understand the origins of capitalism, we need to understand the origins of the conditions which will make this process possible. And there are three conditions that we need to understand. The first condition is the accumulation of sums of money in the hands of capitalists, in the hands of some agents who can use those sums of money to come to the market to purchase commodities. So the first condition is the accumulation of money in the hands of capitalists. The second condition is that those sums of money must be used to purchase means of production and labour power. So means of production and labour power must be available in the market to be purchased by the capitalist. So that is the second condition. Means of production and labour power must be available as commodities in the market. So once those two are bought, then they are brought into the production process, the finished commodity emerges and then the finished commodity must be sold. So the third condition is that there must be what Marx calls a home market, a market where the finished commodities can be sold. These three processes together comprise what Marx calls the primary accumulation of capital. So the primary accumulation of capital is the combination of these three processes which enable the circuit of capital to take shape and to complete itself. Now let us think about these three components of the process a little more. What is the first component? The first component is that there must be accumulation of money in the hands of people who can function as capitalist. How does this happen? Marx has a very detailed discussion about how money gets accumulated in the hands of merchants and then those merchants become capitalists. The important point here to note is what is known as profit upon alienation. By this concept we are trying to distinguish the profit that will be generated in the capitalist production process from the previous methods by which merchants accumulated money. The previous methods through which merchants or merchant capitalist accumulated money is by buying cheap and selling dear. That was a process of unequal exchange that is very different from the way in which surplus value and profits is generated within a capitalist production process. To distinguish this we must keep in mind that the accumulation of this money came about not through profit generation in the capitalist process but upon what Marx calls profit upon alienation. Meaning lot of the merchants went across the world bought cheap sold in Europe for higher prices and the difference was accumulated as money. Once that money is available that money must now be able to purchase means of production and labour power on the market. For Marx this is the key moment of primary accumulation. The key moment of primary accumulation is the process by which means of production and labour power are available in the market as commodities. So let's think about this a little more. Let's think of feudal times. In feudal times there are peasants who are directly attached to the land. Now they might be free peasants or they might be serfs no matter which the peasant and the land are fused together, they are linked together. It is only by breaking the link between the peasant and the land that you can free up the labour power of the peasant to be sold in the market and you can free up the land and its products to be sold on the market as means of production. So for Marx the key moment or the key aspect of primary accumulation is the process by which the peasant is forcibly separated from the land and this is a long historical process which takes place over a 300 year period where by the use of state power and force peasants are expropriated, they are driven off their land through the enclosure movement and other processes. It is this process which occurs over a 300 year period. It is that brutal process which really creates the conditions for the emergence of labour power and means of production as commodities on the markets. So that is the second and the key process. Now let us come to the third process because once the capitalist has produced its commodity it must be able to sell it. Sell it for a price at which it is able to realize surplus value. So therefore there must emerge a market where the commodities can be sold. Now that more or less is given here itself. See peasants would produce most of what they consumed but once they had been driven off the land their subsistence needs could only be fulfilled by purchasing stuff on the market. So the forcible separation of peasants from land already created a home market. In addition the destruction of the handicraft industry, the destruction of the artisans as the growth of capitalism happened, the destruction of these segments also created a market for the products of the capitalist system. So these three processes together gave rise to the conditions for the emergence of the capitalist system and these together are known as the primary accumulation of capital. Let me end by emphasizing that even though Marx's analysis referred to England in particular and Western Europe in particular England and he studied the details of these processes for that country. The concept of primary accumulation is relevant for understanding the emergence of capitalist relations whenever and wherever they happen. So for instance if we look at the emergence of capitalist relations of production today in much of the third world the concept of primary accumulation might be useful. With that we come to an end of this module which is also an end of volume 1 of capital. So we have laid out the details of the argument as laid out in volume 1 of capital. In the next module we will take up the argument that unfolds in volume 2 of capital.


A lot of students sat for the NTA UGC NET exam this month. Irrespective of the subject for which you gave the exam, I'm sure that some of you might have felt that the paper was really tough and you did not perform well. I know how hard you have worked but there's something very important you must know. The NET exam does not assist all of what makes you special and unique. The people who create these tests and score them do not know each of you like I do and certainly not the way your families do. They do not know that some of you can speak three languages or that you love to sing or draw. They have not seen your natural talent for dancing. They do not know that your friends count on you to be there for them.  They do not know that you participate in sports, wonder about the future or sometimes you help your little brother or little sister after school. They do not know that you are kind, trustworthy and thoughtful and every day you try to be your best. The scores you will get from these tests will tell you something but they will not tell you everything. These tests do not define you. There are many ways of being smart.  You are the light that brightens the day and the reason I'm happy to teach you each day. So in the midst of all of these exams irrespective of the result you get, remember that there is no way to test all of that which makes you amazing, which makes you you. Life will keep on throwing challenges in forms of problems. Giving up would mean certain and immediate defeat. Continuing one's efforts is the only guaranteed way to succeed. Edison said, our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.  It is said that he failed 10,000 times before succeeding in coming up with a tungsten filament bulb. When asked about his failures, do you know what he said? He said, I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Be like Edison and make this world shine. In a few days you are going to get the result of your exams and when you are going to see the answer sheet, answer key and you are going to see the score that you have got. Please remember three things. Number one, accept yourself at that point. Do not remain in the state of denial.  Of course you deserve much more in life, but for that you will have to first accept the marks you have got now. After all you have earned these marks and acceptance of these marks is a mark of acceptance of the self. The first step towards self-discovery. The second thing that you should remember, learn from your mistakes. Please do not remain sad about the poor result, but instead concentrate on the mistakes you have made and try to improve yourself in those areas. If you have failed, it does not mean that you are a bad student or that you are not smart enough. It simply means that there are loopholes in your studying method that you need to focus on. That's it. And third, become the best version of yourself. I want you all to work hard every single day and try to become the best version of yourself. Next time when you sit for an exam, you should be able to look at yourself in the mirror and say, today I am going to be the best version of myself. And no matter what the result is, you have to again look at the mirror and tell yourself, I gave my best. Trust me, the result of that day will not matter to you anymore. You will still be at peace with yourself and feel happy and satisfied if respective of the outcome. Wishing you all the best for the future. Thank you.

Support accounting instruction by clicking the link below, giving you a free month membership to all of the content on our website, broken out by category, further broken out by course. Each course then organized in a logical, reasonable fashion, making it much more easy to find what you need than can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources such as Excel practice problems, PDF files and more, like QuickBooks backup files when applicable. So once again, click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. Here we are in our bank feeds practice file. We started up in a prior presentation using the 30 day free trial. We also have open the free QuickBooks Online sample company. If you want the two open at the same time, we suggest using the incognito window or another browser to open the sample company. You can open incognito if using Google Chrome by selecting the three dots in the browser, incognito window typing into the search engine, QuickBooks Online test drive. We're using the sample company to compare the accounting view, the one the bank feeds practice file is in and the business view, the one the sample company is in. You could toggle between the two views by going to the cog up top and switching that view on down below duplicating some tabs like we do every time to put our financial statement reports in, right clicking on the tab up top to duplicate it. And then we're going to right click on the tab up top to duplicate it back to the middle tab. We're going to the reports on the left, opening up one of the financial statement reports the balance sheet and note that if you're in the business view by the way, the reports are in the business overview reports on the left hand side back on over. We're going to say tab into the right reports on the left this time opening the profit and loss, the P and the L closing the hand boogie and changing the range in 010122 tab, 123122 tab running to refreshing tabbing to the middle in closing the hand boogering and then changing the ranging again in 010122 tab, 123122 tab and running it running. All right, let's go to the tab to the left now and open up the bank feeds because that's what we're working on all the time. That's in the banking tab on the left hand side. If you're in the business view by the way, the bank feeds are located in the bookkeeping and then in the transactions and then in the transaction bank transactions. That's where there are there a little bit more buried down a little bit deeper down, but that's where you find them. All right, last time we did the first bank reconciliation for the credit cards, which is similar to bank reconciliation. You might be familiar with with the checking accounts, the credit cards being a similar kind of scenario because we're entering the transactions from the bank feeds oftentimes with the credit cards and we can still verify if there's any kind of differences or timing differences between the transactions. There usually are no timing differences between the transactions because most people record their credit cards on the business side from the credit card statement using the bank feeds and therefore we're not going to have any timing differences. So why do the credit card statement in any case? Why do it? It's a double check to make sure that you haven't double entered anything or that you haven't not entered anything like the bank feeds got messed up and something didn't get pulled in properly. So that's one reason you can kind of double check that by looking at the balance at any given time, which should in essence match the balance on the credit card, online credit card statement as you're as you're looking on it. But if there is a difference with it, if it becomes out of whack somehow, how do you fix that? You reconcile, you reconcile. So it's just a good practice to be doing. It's really easy to do now that we did the first reconciliation where we had that beginning balance issue to tie out that beginning balance. The all the reconciliations going forward should just be a matter of let's just verify the balance looks good. Let's go into the reconciliation and just check everything off just and that should be it. So let's see how easy that will be. So the first bank reconciliation for the credit card reconciliation was on 831. And now of course we fixed that beginning balance issue. And now this is our ending balance as of 831. And then the current balance we're going to look at starts with that beginning balance, which should be correct now because we fixed it. And then here's our charges and our payments. And then here's our balance at the end of September. So let's go over here and let's run our balance sheet on a month by month basis. And let's actually change the range from let's go from 08, 0122 to 1131 22. And then 1130 22. There's only 30 days. I knew that my birthdays in that month. I know all about November. Any case, let's go to the month by month breakout. And then if I scroll down to the credit cards and look at what's on our side of things, this 522 71 now ties out to the Indian balance for the end of August because we fixed it. And then in September, 717 22, 717 22 also ties out because the beginning balance is now right. And we entered all of our information from the bank or credit card financial institution. Therefore, this one should tie out perfectly as well. So why even go through the bank reconciliation? Because again, we kind of want to double check that everything is tying out properly, not just the ending balance, but all the detail. And so that if there is a problem, if things do get out of whack, we know how to fix it. So we're going to go to the tab to the left and the reconciliation will be very easy now. Moe's fossil, Moe fossil Trent thing to do. So let's go. Let's what he just stick to you can speak English for crying. Okay, let's go to the accounting down below. No need to disparage my Spanish skills reconciliation on the right hand side. And then we're going to go to reconcile. I'm going to close up the handbook. You notice that if you're in the sample company, that's located the reconciliation that is in the bookkeeping and then experts and reconcile. Okay, so then we're doing the credit card. So we're usually people think of the bank accounts up top, but you can also reconcile and should be reconciling. Although it's typically quite easy to do the credit cards. And now the beginning balance ties out to what's on our statement. So that's good. That looks good. The ending balance, we're just going to put in place according to the statement 71722 717.22 ending balance as of September of 2022 is boom. And there we go. So we can just start the reconcile. And then once again, the statement balance, that's what we basically just typed in there. There's the cleared balance, which is calculated as the beginning balance in our system, which rolled over from the prior bank reconciliation, plus the charges, which are all checked off down below minus the payments, which are all checked off down below. The difference is zero. Notice we didn't have to do anything to get that difference to zero because everything is just checked off already.  So remember in a full service system, if you were doing like a like the checking account and you actually wrote checks, then you'd have to verify the beginning balance and say, well, that checks off. And then I'd have to go through all the customer payments and say, okay, the customer payments over here, if I look at the payment side is the is the 275 or whatever. And that checks off boom, boom. And then I'd have to check all these off. And I would always go from the statement over to the, the, our books going to the charges and check them off, you know, one by one, bam, bam, bam difference going down to zero. If the difference is anything other than zero, even if it was like a dollar off, then I want to find where the problem is because a dollar difference might be not just one transaction, but multiple transactions that net out to that dollar difference. So this difference really has to be zero. And it should be pretty easy to do, because you should be able to tie exactly what's on the statement to what is on the books. If it's on the statement and it's not on our books, then we're gonna have to fix our books unless the statement is wrong, right? We'll have to fix whatever, fix whatever transaction is incorrectly input or put a transaction in place that was not input. And if it's on our books, but not on the bank statement, then in a full service accounting system, then you would think that that might be an outstanding item. If it was a checking account, like an outstanding check, like one we wrote that didn't clear the bank, for example. So nobody's wrong here. It's just that we had the information before the bank, therefore timing difference, that would be the reconciling item. But here we don't have any timing differences because we didn't do a full service accounting system. We made our books based on the bank's information. So it should be really easy. See, that's why it's really easy. I should be able to just go in here and just check the whole thing off. I don't even have to check the whole thing off, because it's already checked off. And then the thing should be zero and you're done. So then I'm going to finish it. Just make sure that that's zero. If it's not zero, you've got work to do. Things need to be done. Stuff has to happen. So don't forget that. But it should be zero most of the time.  Say, boom, it's going to say, do you want to pay the outstanding balance? I don't like paying through the system this way. I just pay the credit card when I feel like paying the credit card. So I don't usually use this option, but you could pay this way. But I'm going to say done and boom. And then I can see my reports by going to the history. And now I've got our two reports. This was for the last month and then the current month in September. If I go into it, it's a really boring report. This basically just recaps the bank statement. So the 522.71, the 469.98 and the 275. That's what we clicked off that clears. So it should be the same numbers here. And then we have what's on our books, the 717.22. And so that's what's on our books over here. That's the book balance. What's the reconciliation between the book balance and the cleared statement balance? Nothing. Why? Because we built our books from the bank. So there is no difference. There's no timing difference, right? Where there would be if, for example, we built our books and then double checked it to the bank, because then even though the credit cards clear quite quickly, it's possible that we entered something on our side when the transaction happened and it had not yet processed through the bank. The most common example in a checking account would be a check, a physical check, takes a long time to clear. So you're going to have timing differences. But we're dependent on the bank oftentimes with the credit card because we're becoming more and more comfortable that the credit cards will clear, that the bank system is working and the timing transactions are short. So the reconciliation should be easy. So that's going to be that reconciliation. So I also just wanted to note that those reports are a little bit different than other reports. So you can find them by going to the accounting tab like we are in reconcile and then go to account history. I think you can also get to the same area in the reports if you wanted to go to like the reports, because you might think, well, a bank statement is a report.  If I go into that, it takes me out of the reports area and back into where I was. And there's our reconciliation reports that we can find the reason that these are different than all of the other reports is because all of the other reports are being constructed as we enter the data input. So all the other reports basically as we do these transactions, they're making financial transactions that have at least two accounts affected according to the double entry accounting system, creating the balance sheet income statement, the major financial statement reports and all the other subsidiary reports are generally being constructed at the same time, providing more information about one or multiple line items on the balance sheet or income statement as we construct them with these transactions. Whereas the bank reconciliation report is us verifying our books to an outside source that's also doing basically our books, right, in terms of just the credit card or the checking account. So it's a verification, an internal control type of report instead of a report that we're constructing as we do the data input. It's kind of like checking our numbers as opposed to entering the data. It's kind of like instead of doing the math equation, you're verifying the thing, right, with this report. So it's a little bit different in that way. But that is that. And then we'll move back on in future presentations to the banking for the credit, for the checking account and we'll do a similar kind of process, finishing this up and then looking at our bank reconciliation is dealing with that beginning balance issue with regards to the checking account.
