Welcome to class. My name is Sandra Bitaegis and I'm here to take you through this course focusing on Windows Server 2012. Could be a familiar face, I spent a lot of time with Server 2012 as I have with 2008, 2008 R2 and moving on down the line. I've actually been working with the Microsoft Networking Technologies since we had LAN Manager, DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1. So I've seen my share of Microsoft exams, my share of classroom time, but really in addition to this we do go out and consult on a regular basis. So I tend to live quite a bit out in the trenches with the rest of you setting up these networks and learning how to support them. So based on that I hope you have a great course. I'm here to share what I know to help you prepare for your most recent test and also to get used to a brand new environment. In this module we're going to learn all about installing and configuring servers. When we do our installations this means before we run any version of setup or boot to an actual bootable media we have to do a little bit of planning. We'll plan a server installation as well as the server roles that it's going to handle. If we're doing upgrades what types of things we have to think about for upgrades and of course also learn a little bit about server core which is a whole different way of looking at a Windows server operating system. When we move through the configuration we're going to learn not just how to configure servers but we'll also spend some time with server core.  Last but not least we will mention local storage so we'll design our storage spaces so that we have the most efficient usage of any amount of space to store our data and our applications. This will go through basic and dynamic disks as well as the difference between MBR and GPT disks and of course how to manage those volumes, how to create VHDs and configure our storage pools as well. The first thing I would like to address is on-premise versus cloud. Now we always have the technical documentation and you see lots and lots about cloud computing so everyone always asks me what we're going to do or why we would why don't we just put everything in a cloud. As a matter of fact I had this conversation less than a week ago with a very good client of mine. They're a relatively small network they have a couple of servers most of what they have is realistically in the in the cloud in terms of all the applications they use to track their customers, the customers data and everything that they do. Their email is also in the cloud we also have SharePoint out in the cloud so based on that the conversation was really why do I need to buy a new server why can't we just let this you know run into the ground and continue. Well the big issue here is really what type of services you want to give the actual computers so before I go through the what the on-premise can do for you let's talk a little bit about what the cloud is all about. Now the cloud is becoming increasingly popular I personally have a good portion of my customers out in the cloud and really what happens is services like email or SharePoint sites even data stores or data backups can all be taking place at the cloud. You can also host an actual server in the cloud and there's a number of ways to do that whether you're going through the Microsoft version of hosting full servers or of course you have someone in a actual data center space where you're sharing their space and you have your own server. The whole point of cloud computing is to make resources available to you regardless of where you are. We have a lot of users that are now working from home from remote offices we have workers everywhere so by having something as central as the cloud works extremely well. Now if we talk of something as simple as storage and shared resources I can say even for a lot of what I do. So as we teach these courses and I write my slides I get to email them to editing they get to email me back and after about the fifth email we can be very confused on what versions are happening. With something like a cloud or SharePoint site you can upload keep version information keep common information and have everything in one site as a matter of fact I can edit right there from the cloud so it doesn't matter if I'm in my home office my business office or at a customer site I can access all that information and continue to work on it. So that really is the feature of the cloud. If you put your email in the cloud it means if you lose your internet connection it doesn't mean your emails are going to be bouncing and not coming in they may be bouncing to your desktop but they'll still come in your phones or be available via web access. So it's all about high availability regardless of where you're working. That's what the cloud is all about. So what we typically see is storage email and items like SQL server up in the cloud so that we don't have to maintain them locally as well as redundant internet. Now with a common cloud computing again it does depend on how you're going to do it. Now you can lease the services from Microsoft. I have a lot of customers on 365 and here we do everything from dynamics to exchange server but you can also host your SQL server and your Microsoft system center. Some of the other things that can happen in the cloud is you have something called an infrastructure as service otherwise known as IAS which means you have a full virtual machine but it's being hosted in the cloud. As a matter of fact I had mentioned to a customer where everything's in the cloud so do we actually need an on-site server really everything being in the cloud but they're using a remote desktop technology to go into a virtual machine which happens to be a virtual server in Hyper-V. The advantage of course someone else gets to play with the hardware not only manage it and back it up make sure the redundancy is there but we still have to maintain the desktop experience in the software in that server. Now Microsoft does have Windows Azure which is available for you to go ahead and put your infrastructure up there in the cloud. Now we also have software service which means they're going to host a particular application or infrastructure for a technical application and we of course have Intune which is all for PC maintenance but the one that most people have heard of is Office 365 where you have full-blown exchange server you have full-blown SharePoint sites and everything that you're doing is up in the cloud. A third version or I guess we'll call it category of cloud computing is something called platform as service or P-A-A-S which means the hosting provider will provision the platform and this platform is how we're going to host all of our database applications. Now they'll provide the database and then of course we get to manage it. So realistically unless you're getting into the background of MCSE and getting into the background of really planning this architecture the acronyms of I, A-A-S, S, A-A-S and P-A-A-S really isn't more common speak but really to show you that we have three distinct categories of how we're going to host information in the cloud. So the cloud is very handy for high availability and letting someone else take care of the hardware and the backups. So why is it that we need an actual local server? Why do we need an on-premise server? The biggest piece of why you want local resources provided to the clients on the on-premise side is for the network infrastructure itself which means when you turn on a client computer you need an IP address, it's going to have a default gateway, it's going to have accessibility to DNS not only for internet name resolution but internal name resolution. All of our authentication through Active Directory where the users are going to log on and of course application updates. So when I go into a server I can go ahead and push out Windows updates through WSUS but I can also install all their third-party applications so maybe they use Norton Antivirus. I put the management console on the server, I upgrade only the server, I push that out as well as virus updates or virus definition updates to all the client workstations. So all of this is handier than having let's say in a small network 10 or 15 or even 500 in a larger network clients with static IP addresses, static IP configurations and then local user accounts. So when someone locks themselves out and no one knows the administrator password locally at this point they're no longer in trouble. So on the peer-to-peer network it is harder to manage but can be done with an on-premise server we can provide that network infrastructure and normally make it easier to maintain and administrate but also gives us an ability to unlock user accounts when they don't know their password because again if no one knows a password to that local machine or it's been changed we're really powerless without a domain admin. And again any of the application updates whether it happens to be for antivirus program or whether it happens to be for Windows updates. Now server 2012 is promoted as cloud ready but you still need those local resources and a good example is I just put out an implementation where Active Directory synchronized with an enterprise Office 365 so we have a single sign-on which provides my email access and my Windows access and I'm really the same user even though exchange is not necessarily on-premise. I'm going to quickly go through a couple of slides with our Windows server additions you need to understand that it's not just Windows server but there are licensing issues and actually cost issues with each one of the additions so you get to pick the one that closely maps to what you need. Standard edition is what I see the most of. You have everything you need all roles all features they're all going to be available nowadays we can go up to four terabytes of RAM so you should be covered there you have I can have up to 64 sockets and with standard edition if you install the Hyper-V role assuming your hardware is Hyper-V ready and most new hardware is you can use that same license that you installed the server with to create two more servers in the Hyper-V console as virtual machines so essentially you can buy one server and get three. Data center is really if you've got an enormous corporation let's say Microsoft where you have pods of servers everywhere you need all the roles and all the features but really what's going to happen with data center is you're also looking for unlimited virtual machine licenses now I say this is what you would use if you're a large organization but even a small medium size organization I have a local police department that's got about 350 users but we need a lot of servers we did virtualize everything and then what we took a look at is how many servers we needed to add it was cheaper to buy the data center license than it was to buy the standard edition license for everything that we needed so now no matter what we want to populate a virtual machine with we've got an unlimited license to do it so you'll see you've got up to 64 sockets but you do have more processor cores to work with and again you're up to four terabytes of RAM that will pretty much cover you regardless foundation is really a pretty super basic server maybe you just need a file server now the problem with foundation is it can't be joined to a domain so I use the term file server very very gently I might use this for a web server for local storage server but again we really can't work through the domain membership here so you're looking at I guess I'll call it an expensive work station a couple other additions you might want to know about we have the essentials edition so for those of you who've heard about small business server and you're still looking for it this is going to be your replacement now the intention of a small business server is to provide an enormous network infrastructure to a smaller organization so if I have a small organization I might need email I might need SQL server I need actual infrastructure so all of this comes at a cost of a different license so let's be super generic and say you know to buy exchange and all the client access license maybe I'm looking at 2k for a small company and maybe it's the same thing for SQL and then this comes with the operating system there are actually other servers as well so to have a small business server it includes a minimal license of all of this so that they're not incurring all of these high costs for small organization now you're going to have exchange server but you can't have it enterprise-wide so you don't have necessarily the enterprise version you have what we'd consider a small business server same thing for SQL so it is a replacement of SPS we don't have hyper V or clustering or core it can't be an RDP server so people can't be terminally in with their own sessions and here is where the power in the licensing makes a determination you have a 25 user limit you have a 50 device limit you can only have two processor cores and you're limited to 64 gigs of RAM which again for this type of addition is more than enough we have hyper V addition hyper V means we have no user interface we have no licensing fee for the operating system we actually license the virtual machines individually you have limited file services think of it as enough to actually host all your ISO files and what's needed for hyper V hyper V can join a domain and you've got 64 sockets and 4 terabytes of RAM we have two storage additions we have work group addition and standard addition the big difference between the two is when you're looking at a work group addition it does limit you in the amount of user connections and of course a work group means no active directory and your standard addition allows you to support a domain membership and you can license this for every two sockets we also have multi point which means many users using the same host but with separate input and output most keyboard and monitor we have socket limited amount of RAM we're looking at 12 session max and not a lot of infrastructure roles or active directory support and last but certainly not least we have multi point premium which means again multiple users using the same host with input and output we really have an ability to put on more RAM more sessions and a little bit of the network infrastructure server 2012 has an awful lot of roles in fact I've got a couple pages of them so the ability to do things is there it's just finding out what you need to accomplish and what role matches so in general let's go through fairly quickly all of the different server roles so you have a general idea how the management and the role management is handled now most people used to thinking about active directory was no longer as simple as active directory in a domain controller you have active directory directory services for your users and your computer accounts and this is really where your domains come from but active directory also has certificate services federation services LDS rights management all of these together are part of active directory but each one of them is compartmentalized into its own role we also have a role called application server so before you start hosting applications maybe it's exchange or maybe it's even something fairly small you have to have the application server role on there now this is really what provides some of the dotnet framework and the dotnet enterprise services that are needed by most of these applications we have server roles for infrastructure the separate infrastructure roles are DHCP DNS so we can give out IP address configuration and we can also do some name resolution we have fax server if you want to send and receive shared faxes we have file and storage services which is how you're going to actually make data available to the clients meaning file shares and documents hyper v for your virtualized environment we have a network policy server so as clients are joining the network whether locally or via an actual VPN we can make sure that those clients are healthy before they have access to the resources so that's a really good security layer print and document services remote access services remote desktop services and then of course we can get down through licensing your licensing in a large organization you don't want to have a onesie to see from desk to desk but to actually have volume activation services installed so you can manage all of those volume licenses I ask of course is for our web server we have windows DS which allows us to deploy the operating systems to clients throughout the network also known as WDS we've got a few acronyms as it's been growing up through the versions and of course we also have WS us where we can install server role to gather all the updates for windows and associated applications as they come in we can approve them and then they automatically go out to the clients this of course is better than every client updating individually so there's a lot of different server roles in each one of those have a unique perspective on what you want that server to do I do like that it's compartmentalized so for performance alone you can make a plan on what a server is going to do and make sure it's fully configured for just that role roles of course it can be shared and they can also coexist on the same server I can have one server with many roles it really is up to the hardware in which services you're trying to host


what is this what's up guys what's going on happy fridays all right so bozinga actually has a promotion going on I think they said they're offering 35% off let me see or is it 40% I think they even upgraded to 40% it was tough yet well it's going on no no it's 35% for the month of October they said if you guys use anybody's interested in bozinga that's the code for the 35% off it's it's their Halloween promotion if you guys interested check it out use my referral code I mean referral link how's everybody doing today so let's see market and closed and balanced state was 1.2 billion to the buy side pretty bullish see how the market data look like this week economic calendar clear all look at the United States only everything from two stars to three stars consumer sentiment was down today consumer expectations down business inventory is in line retail sales are up above forecast manufacturing index is very weak import price index weaker export price index is also weaker but retail sales are up apparently so well not a bad week check out the stock market bubble for the day nice to see the portfolio overall green today nice nice congrats man it was over a pretty good pretty good day wow logistics industry is very strong JB hunt transportation services up 8.7% for the day Wells Fargo also big up as well a lot of banks are doing pretty well Goldman Sachs closed around 406 today Bank of America 46 new highs amazing man Charles swabs new highs there about time about freaking time visa and mastercard trying to set up the reversal city groups still lagging behind as usual JP Morgan trying to see some recovery there very strong and then some of the oil company is starting to get weak CTRA down a little bit from last week it was this lamb Western Walgreen gave gave up half the gains from yesterday hit that top and kind of reject a little bit so gave up some gains there what else is up FCX doing very well surprisingly Amazon oh my god Tesla and Amazon carry the market on his back today along with Home Depot Wow lows to Jesus what the hell they just kind of left some of the other big stocks are still like lagging like Netflix and and Google and stuff but Tesla and and Amazon pretty much like carry the market on this back today holy smokes look at that man with that said I think yeah Amazon crazy I think with that said oh got some alert whoops BTC over 50 60 what was the 67 K this weekend no way right okay is that possible could it was at the previous high where we at I guess was the was the high let me see oh the previous high was like 64 K is a little crazy I'm a little surprised honestly I know a lot of us was really bullish on crypto already last week it was looking a little bit bearish actually a huge move I think we're gonna probably struggle around that 62 to 64 range I did pick up a lot of all coins today well not a lot I just picked up some I picked up some all coins because you know all coins right they um if big when Bitcoin is running all Queen doesn't run but typically if you guys been in the market long enough especially the crypto market you know this is a very common theme if Bitcoin runs the all coins gets choked because a lot of all coins are usually paid to the Bitcoin right so all coins are paid to the Bitcoin if Bitcoin's up kind of like the dollar index in the stock market where Bitcoin would be equivalent to the dollar index so if like Bitcoin's doing really was running up a lot a lot of the all coins are gonna get choked so they're not gonna move as much and and with that said once all like once the Bitcoin stabilized if it's like 64,000 and stabilizes there all coins are gonna moon like a lot of the all coins actually like look at look at XOM right we're sitting like very close on the resistance right here this is the 200 the 200 moving the average here and it's just freaking chill in there it's just chilling there you know if Bitcoin is breaking out I mean I don't know what to say man if Bitcoin is breaking out I don't see why not for all coins to break out when once Bitcoin stabilizes so a lot of them are a lot of all coins are doing the same thing they're like lagging behind you know potentially setting for that move wow look at look look at look at like Queen like Queen is like waiting there as well and that's at that 200 to waiting for that next gap up so it could go from 190 to 230s maybe 400 I don't know but I know one thing for sure man if if like coin hits 400 again I'm not missing the opportunity to sell this time I'm selling I'm unloading baby that's it a lot of these coins are waiting to move they're waiting to get it ready ZRX then Salona yeah maybe the 220 levels maybe RLC Dogecoin FET I picked up a little bit ICP today because like I I rather like the setup on it it's it looks like a double bottom setup almost so this range holds which is the $40 range right here if this range doesn't break under we could potentially move back up that's like not just $50 to $80 man if it finishes that double bottom so it's done that once before where it came back down and you know made a nice move up so I'm looking for I'm looking to cash out probably at the high 58 very interesting move on the crypto side is that what are you guys looking at check out some of the earnings from this morning damn fiat world so not to 400 nice I respect that man I thought I thought that too a while ago sounds about right I was on Binance for crypto and cool coin I mean I use Coinbase I only use Coinbase for cash and now I don't really use Coinbase it's the most scammy one out of them all I would say I highly recommend like cool coin and and and Binance so if you guys are you know if you guys are new you want to check out some of the crypto things I have time hoax crypto referral here you're gonna want to check that out but um I stopped using I'm I'm trying to stop using Binance this week because they're they're putting some restrictions for for like private users like me so I had my Binance account since like 2017 and I never verified it so they want me to verify that if I don't verify it they're gonna like lock down my account by the end of the month or something like that so I'm not really using Binance anymore moving on to like moving on to cool coins where they don't have that problem so strong big advocate of cool coin check out some earnings from this morning PNC financials had a pretty good earnings 375 B322 10% increase compared to last year's JBHT this is what I want to check out honestly for today I don't really um I don't really I don't really I don't really mind the referral credit as much you guys can use a you can use time also for a credit if you want or or Tommy's Robinhood account it's also on here as well so you guys could you know if you want to like if you if you were too lazy and you just want to buy crypto off like Robinhood you can use Tommy's Robinhood account referral or Timehawk's cool coin referral there the good thing about that it's like it's one of the top four exchanges no VPN is needed whereas like some of the other some of the other places you need a VPN what's up mass appeal how you doing man so let me check out this earnings for for JBHT hunt see why they're doing so well and that huge gap up today I saw it moved up but I didn't really bother with it cuz I didn't read the earnings for it so earnings per shares dollar 88 as opposed to the 179 estimate that's a B sales of 3.14 billion as opposed to 3.01 59% increase compared to last year in EPS and about 26% increase compared to the same period last year is there guidance do we see it do we have a guidance here no guidance so last year stock was trading around 130s 130s times 27% about 165 so price is a little bit high price moved up a lot maybe they have something in the report that are really really bullish nothing special there check out their press release from this morning so third quarter revenue up 27% operating income up 56% their quarter EPS dollar 88 as opposed to 118 apparently audio is gone so operating income is doing pretty good they lose the money of the last mile service truck low is up a lot up 370% that their biggest segment to now the ICS is pretty big and the DCS so in their quarter of 2021 they we purchase about 286,000 shares and they still have about 366 million left for purchase so this is also one of the company that's buying back their stocks 366 million out of like the market cap of 18.43 billion isn't a lot though so nothing too crazy to be extremely bullish about but it's good to kind of like kind of like see see the guidance for the sector because there's a few other stocks in the sector in this transportation sector so if this company is doing good we could probably expect the other ones to do really good so RTY IWM I got you let me take a look at here IWM so if that is like doing really really good we could expect some of the other ones to do good which is all the maintenance right line I guess you can say Uber is kind of in them I wouldn't say not really XPO is another big one that I'm interested in and then there's also riders as well so XPO has been pretty beat it up let me pull up the XPO chart man yeah so XPO had a nice move today from 76 to 79 off that about three four percent move I guess yeah they had a four percent move today off that JB Hunt started that reversal to the upside so I think if we can move above 80 dollars for XPO that could that signal a whole reversal back to like 89 dollars especially with JB Hunt or JBH Hunt you know doing the work there so that's why I like looking at earnings report sometimes because you kind of see how the industry is doing and especially with all this like shipping restraint constraint and all that stuff you would think like you would think you know all these things are gonna do pretty good right Goldman Sachs Group Q3 EPS it's another one I'm interested in let's check this out Goldman Sachs reported earnings this morning earnings per share was $14.93 as opposed to $10.11 sales is 13.61 billion as opposed to 11.67 estimate wow another record order for them 54% increase compared to the same period last year and 26% increase in sales compared to last year Jesus man so stock price last year was at $210 right now is at 400 pretty much 100% increase compared to last year's highs at $247.47 times 1.4 380 so it's in that range a little bit higher than what it was last year but I think they're all the two quarters was also really good so Goldman Sachs is pretty crazy man one of the biggest biggest biggest schemers out there so they said the third quarter saw strong operating performance and accelerations our investment in the growth of Goldman Sachs we're now to exceed it acquisition in our asset management and consumer business which will increase our scale and abilities to drive higher more durable returns looking forward the opportunity sits continue to be attractive across all of our business and our focus remain on serving our clients and executing our strategies net revenue year to date is 46.7 billion net earnings 17.7 oh look value per share is that 277 17% growth earnings per share year to date is about 48 I mean it's great to see these data but what was the data compared to last year though that's what I want to see showing me all this data for this year but I don't know what the metrics is god damn here we go I got the metrics I think so I think this is this year's and this is last year's no I think this is last year's if that's true that's like a hundred percent increase there so a lot of money is made from the underwriting that's where they're thinking a lot of money from damn let me get that let me get the data from the website there we go so investment banking was a 88% compared to 2020 global market 23% asset management down consumer wealth 35% so overall 26% increased in total revenue 59% increased in pre earnings and 66% increase in EPS compared to last year so this is what it was looking like last year you three and this is what it looked like 2021 you three having some pretty good growth there COVID did them really well they got really lucky the IPO market is really hot and they grow a lot of like they wrote a lot of what do you call it they do a lot of underwriting to help a lot of companies IPO so they make a lot of money from that those kind of bullish on this company overall when you guys are asking about it yesterday took real quick at IWM damn the Russell is at the biggest chop ever man it's just big consolidation at this range go nowhere I don't even know what to tell you Adam it's just like so stuck it's just so stuck here I don't know I don't know what to tell you man I feel like you can say this is a double bottom there it's a little bit sloppy but it just it's just like it's just so weird it's got you shook like well what are you what's the plan what's the what's the idea are you bearish bullish I mean on the daily side there was a lot of money flow into the Russell's the last two days that's all I can see here so we could we might have like like two three more days of continuation I think so if you're bullish I it's it looks like we got a lot of power for continuation it looks like we could have like a few more days of continuation typically when when we get that big of a move we we get some continuation you know so like over here right over here so we'll look at a daily chart right now so even over here so only two two green candles in right these are continuation we got multiple green candles multiple green candles like what's this one two three four five like five days of green so we're only at the we're only at two days of green right now so no potentially hit that five more days of green so Goldman Sachs this morning was pretty good was there any other earnings that you guys wanted to check out think that was mostly it right what is the same here Amazon was super sus today not gonna lie why I just say that man then we charter Amazon out of the day wow big move big move all the news today is the 15 Amazon owned which says source code expose and last week's data breach wow passwords login credentials all critical numbers and details of users we're not access exposed there man BS what other news we have on Amazon today US senator Warren urges Amazon break up India we tell her once probe after wait what story urges new deli to investigate Amazon what is this story I think I know what this story was it was internal Amazon's internal document found that US company ran a systematic campaign of creating knockoff and manipulating search results to boost its own private brands in India one of the company's largest growth markets that's true Amazon did do that man I know for sure the Amazon did that they like they grew the Amazon was an Amazon choice or whatever Amazon select brand oh no Amazon basics they grew the hell out of that brand and those a lot of the Amazon basics products are trash but they they market so well it looks so sexy and they pretty much just like they just copycat like you know the bigger sellers and they steal the biggest sellers like manufacturing facility they're like oh where you guys manufactured from okay you guys manufactured from here let me go there make a deal myself and and that's pretty much it I got wrecked that was a that scheme you know I don't know I am with that but had a nice move you know we had that nice bounce off that bottom here had a little bit rejection over there at the resistance of the 3300 dollar level came back and I thought we might have tested their time but completely wrong we didn't have that third time here were some levels I drew from all back I think I did this for somebody or like somebody asked me and this is probably one of my friends or something they asked me to like chart Amazon for them but I made the chart a little bit more basic but you can see like the notes here is from before the depth ceiling talk like went through so the max target I think it happened is probably around the 3500 range we really hit a lot of the targets here we really hit the 3394 weekend on the dot man every 396 huge move so that's one of the resistance that's why 3396 is one of the levels here I mean if we can break here we can get continuation if we don't break through here probably I will I want to say we probably would test that this level here again right so I will say there's a good chance we can probably come back and test this so right now is that 3400 almost ever take this will be the ideal test come back a little bit test that before making the next move up you guys didn't you guys didn't take the Amazon play me paste that here so energy that's a good question I don't know I don't know what to say man energy sector is very very strong last week I was pretty bearish on energy sector because you know we hit that top here right we hit that top range there I was kind of bearish I was kind of expecting the energy sector to to come back down a little bit I and then I actually did take a short position to where's my short position it's gone it's it was here I took a short position on the stock call COG and I bought a $24 puts and then the company can't convert it to CTRA I think so it was COG and then got converted and I shorted it because of this range right here and it broke through a little bit almost it broke through by a whole dollar but then they came back down so I actually end up closing the position on it I am flipping a little bit I do think that that we could potentially if you know since we're breaking above this $56 range on the energy level I think we could potentially touch the next level at 62 so that's on the energy sector on itself it looks like a breakout I don't want to believe the breakout I think it's kind of fake but I guess it could make that next move to 62 that's what the technical was saying also it's also you know breaking out from the 75 range to 82 range on the oil futures as well so you know that's another like really bull move there overall I am I'm still kind of sus on crude oil and oil sector I'm a little bit more bullish I'm pretty much more bullish on natural gas and and bearish on on oil I don't know if that makes sense to you guys but that's my thought process I don't really like the oil that much anymore because they G me last time and I don't like that man I don't like getting hustle so that's kind of why like I don't want to be long on oil but I do like I do like natural gas and there was a long a while while back a long time back that talked about how like natural gas spikes typically happen before market crashes so we're at one of the major resistance of natural gas right now or we hit it this week but we came back down so I'm looking at the monthly chart right now for natural gas rate and and this monthly chart is showing natural gas at like $6.13 so we just touched that now typically we touched that we come back down you know we get rejected and break under right now with all the stuff going on if if there is truly truly energy crunch and things like that the thing that could pump the most it's probably natural gas so even me and Hawaiian beef were talking a little bit about it last night and and the thing with natural gas is that typically in the winter time that's when it's like the biggest crunch right that's when it's like the most crunch so like look over here 2018 2018 you know if winter is a really bad cycle it can get it can get like huge move so that was November 2018 to December 2018 huge spike there right and then like over here was in like it started to move from it started to move from November December January February huge spike there and and you know these are winter time these are when like you know we need that so same thing here you know spike from October continuation into November December and and January as well so we're doing this we're making this big move a little bit before that winter run so if the crunch really continues if you know there's truly a truly a energy crisis and then we get a combination of winter shorted and winter crunch then natural gas is gonna break above that resistance right here so that's what I'm betting on in terms of like being bullish on natural gas I'm betting on that crunch to move over so same thing here as well September October November December biggest spike was in December so we were looking at it we're actually looking to go into April calls so over here biggest spicing biggest spike in 2003 was in February and then over here biggest spike was in January January December as you can see like obviously the data is showing that correlation in the winter months are showing big spikes but I was thinking about April because let me post this link you guys don't have access to the spreadsheet you can use this link here but I was looking into April because for the natural gas we were actually contemplating about throwing $1000 in UNG the natural gas one going for April looking at the $30 calls so if things go well for if we get this break over as we're expecting the UNG is the natural gas fund this is a depreciating fund like USO but it's called US UNG so if we're looking for this break over we're looking for potentially double in price right because if natural gas can break over here natural gas can break above $6 and with the with the winter season winter is coming you know with the winter season and stuff if this can break over right now sitting at $6 what's the next resistance man looking at this chart next resistance tell me $8 and then hostably like 12 plus right looking at 1213 so if it's $6 and it goes like you know our excited range of like 12 to 13 that's double the price so what that means is that that doubles the price then UNG is gonna double the price and it's gonna go from $18 to about $38 so of course from $18 to $38 we're looking for like $30 calls $30 calls if it goes to like $30 or $40 let's say $40 gonna cost us about $300 a piece right now give or take and if it makes that move let's say in January like end of January like like I'm expecting then that's $1,000 profit so we're gonna turn 300 to 1,300 that's one way to play it the other way to play it would be to kind of set up a bull spread same the same give or take maybe maybe even less of time for you I don't know maybe to February maybe I don't know 19 to 29th it costs like about 186 186 if it moves to that $40 range that we're talking about by January right by January 25th that's 734 we're gonna turn about 186 plus 734 200 plus 700 is 900 give or take nine something so it's pretty interesting move possible play there could also do it for January I mean for April as well if you want to go a little bit further out but you'll make less money though it's actually cheaper to do the $30 for some reason could do the 20 to 30 that's 20 to 30 so it gets seven contracts enough to to lotto all the $1,000 and if that move happens you would turn thousands about 5,000 yeah good luck man you and G so I'll post this here as well in case you guys want to like lotto into it I think we're bullish into winter month we see we'll see somebody said pave as well I think professor glass was talking about this it'd be interesting move here yeah VE oh yeah I started some we started I started some lotto positions for Monday for some ER not Monday Tuesday actually cuz we got some earnings next week we got J&J and Netflix a little bit bullish on J&J bearish on Netflix expect going into the earnings report so it's gonna see how that played out or about you guys anybody have any thoughts on J&J Netflix exploring goods yeah I know yeah we're all opposite on those Netflix 350s you mean Netflix 650s right yes buzzer yes very game yo I'll tell you why I'm bullish on J&J too man so J&J's been like going down a little bit they've been you know they had like the 170s and kind of been flopping a little bit with MRMA and and stuff like that but lately they also haven't I think also haven't been doing that well ever since they got smacked for for that my see vaccine thing a while back right they think like was it like 14 people died or something so so that didn't work so well for them overall I'm pretty bullish because it's coming back down a lot J&J hasn't had a huge run due to the vaccines and then they also just got back today earlier today they got back for recommended for early early emergency use again for by the FDA they also have some other you know approvals and stuff going for their for their shots so it's a very slow company usually when when good news happened to them they sell off a little bit and then potentially move up further so that's why I'm kind of bullish on J&J and typically the earnings has been pretty good that's the way to do it man if anything you should be even more bullish the more scammy a company is the more bullish you want to be on it like like Goldman Sachs one of the one of the like most D-Gen company out there right but if we're in the business of making money you know god damn well we're we're bullish on it so I think we're a pretty good level so I think like if we reverse here it can have a nice reverse reversal back to like 168 to 165s at least but if it doesn't perform that well I'll probably add another position at 151s so but overall I'm pretty bullish going into this ER on on J&J maybe they'll pull America you know maybe they'll like start like one of the big pumps who knows who knows man um and then what else Netflix so I posted that here um posted my guess here we'll see we'll see how it play out next week these are the option plans I'm trying to play on it so J&J is a lot of play not not that expensive just straight lot of play 162 to 167 because obviously if they did really good they're gonna they're gonna go to like 167 plus right and that would that would be risking 140 dollars to make up to you know 500 dollars or max profit 350s um Netflix let's take a look yeah a lot of Netflix earnings especially if they had a run up before earnings the earnings typically flop so so Netflix over here prior to earnings we could see some flop so last time they had a big run into earnings and then we came back down a little bit to to the mid range of the 200 over here in the middle of the ban so that was last earnings same thing happened here as well came back a little bit um even touched the bottom of the bans so this was one of the only few earnings where they went up a lot and then still gave it up eventually the next day same thing here went up prior to earnings and then just kind of flopped back down and ran up and flopped back down so a lot of the issues is that um I think if Netflix doesn't have a great earning this this earning like I think if Netflix doesn't um if it doesn't run up a lot this earnings if it flops like if it um if Netflix flops his earnings I think the next earnings after this is going to be huge I can take a look at this because we all know that is a fact that a lot of people got Netflix just watched the split game is like the most popular thing for Netflix right so we know there's a fact we know subscriber count definitely went up we know international subscriber count definitely went up all those things um potentially great guidance you know across the board and and and all that things so I I know for a fact that if this quarter didn't happen for them next quarter they for sure are gonna get some you know growth and things like that and and subscribers you know more subscribers and good data but I just but the thing is you know split game just came out so the quarter that they're reporting right the the the quarter that they're reporting ends in September so so like so like you know obviously the data for split game is not gonna like it's not gonna be accounted until next quarter so if you guys are bullish on Netflix because of you know split games then I don't think that data is going to reflect until the next quarter that's where we're really going to see it beyond me let's see did be on me died today I don't think it necessarily died today they could improve guidance I mean I don't know if they have the time to adjust data though you know I don't know they could have a guidance but usually like that data is already predetermined when this quick game came out first episode was on September 17 um it really depends on I don't know it really depends on when their um when their quarter ended you know whether it was the end of September or the beginning of September so it's all speculative there beyond me um hit a little resistance here came back down a little bit um let's see where it's a little support level here could go either direction right here let me let me let me let me let me write these down let me write these tickers down um I don't miss it beyond me um Disney look I missed anything or be nickels like she cute I like it looking a little dirty oh shit it's a professor glass bang I was trying to run away man I was trying to end it here and run away so last time we took a look at beyond me um I chart out on this chart so we saw a little bit at double bottom move here and good bounce good bounce and came back and tested this line the line is at 107 um obviously we got a little bit rejection here it could potentially come back down um when was that when do we freaking look at that man and they had some good news this week too with the McDonald's um I think McDonald's breakfasting and I forgot what else I can never find it man I just know I look at it but I can never find when we look at it I just want to see what the chart was looking like at that day why why that sucks but um but yeah a little bullish on it expecting it to move here um I think we could I mean it's hard to say we did get rejected the last few times we hit that level um it came back down right and it test the bottom again and it's been making lower lows but the market also also kind of broke out too so this could be a buying opportunity if the market remains bullish because even though it was in this bearish channel just going downhill the market itself also wasn't this channel until it started the recovery now the like look at spy right we were in that down channel and now we're we're breaking we're at the middle right now we could potentially break through and hit to the top but we can you know come back down one more time here so rest of the war is somewhere there for another bull run no worries man take care thanks for stopping by bud so I don't see why not honestly let's check out Disney I don't even know I never really liked charting Disney especially on the swing side on the long-term side resistance 179 support 169 let's check that out hey what's up mark how's it going it's a great question man um DCT looks pretty good came back down to support this could be a potential one to sell some puts on um same thing with probably vicks a little bit I think think we're gonna chop a little bit next week so I don't know if we're gonna start a straight bull run I think we're gonna chop before we we we do a big roll on so I would say probably these two DCT and maybe vxx I probably continue to sell some more on it look at lift looks like lift is breaking down a little bit early there on the weekly chart um potentially we could we could have a move back to the top here so it's been a hit that top trend line twice before we could potentially we could potentially hit it again so I would probably say support is that um is at the bottom here if we come all the way back down right we got earnings coming a little bit and then resistance a little bit up here around 56 support 43 resistance 56 hope that helps TTD let's take a look TTD kind of broke out man um damn strong move we're hitting a little bit resistance right here at that 77 level so starting it looks like it's breaking a little bit through kind of following the market looks good on the weekly side too um looks like you want to move up on the weekly side on the daily site it's it's a lot of money flow within the last few days but um it could start to struggle it's a good area to take profit um I mean you know we've been in this for since the low low 70s range so it's a 77 right now could it hit 80 plus yeah sure but I say it's good area to take some profit here maybe look for the maybe look for the back test again at 74 there's 73s for another entry look for some if you know if you're bullish so let me put that let me bring that up here I would say over here somewhere in that range 72 73s for the entry on the back test just because you know these things are getting top right these things are getting getting top here so good area to take profit you needed to come back down looking for 72s yeah I agree I I mean I still have I still have two calls left yeah like um I mean not not two calls exactly but two different contracts like two different versions I have um I have one version that I'm looking at the head 80s um by November so I might close those man I mean we're very close to the target I should probably consider closing those but I have a lot of time on that um so I'm kind of okay and then I have um I have another one like that's just been a while back that open it's from like I think it's from like 60 to 70s but I haven't gotten the full credit on it yet because that was a spread and and just been waiting on this a lot of things but I like this company overall as long as the market is oh you do a butterfly didn't you man you probably couldn't even take profit dang is that what happened yeah that's the thing with it you got to time it perfectly it sucks sorry to hear that man it's so tough it's so tough the time it perfectly well that's the man um whatever you guys have a great weekend we'll be back one day to check out some of the other earnings um or for next week let me see let me see if I can pull up the very next week next monday you know we got some some earnings here state street some of the banks philips 66 um like that and then Tuesday we got that netflix and johnson johnson let's go is rg as well helper in the airlines and then one day we've got the semiconductors we got land research group and yes and oh and then abt I think this company's gonna do pretty good abt um horizon csx and sx always definitely do pretty good and hopefully a lot a lot of good stuff y'all a lot of good stuff coming up next week very excited um it's probably where i'm gonna either make a lot of money and lose a lot of money based on these earnings and then the week after that we also got some good stuff week after that we have fugo we have 3m twitter texas instruments um radon tax you know dm4 american company we got the boeing you know coca-cola oh american baby um on that Wednesday and then Thursday we got apple starbucks white girl index stocks um merrick caterpillar some more american there um fridays ending it with uh with ease so excited man excited let's go that's it boys take care and have a good night


Hey guys, it's Jen from iCrateCrafts. In today's video, I'm gonna show you guys how to make these car decals from start to finish.  This one is hilarious to me. I'm definitely getting out of patience with my kids. I don't know about you guys, but these are great sellers for me, and I'm gonna show you how to create them, how to sell them, how to package them, everything you need to know for these. So stay tuned for this video you do not want to miss out. All right guys, so I'm starting in design space. This looks a little messy right here, but I wanted to show you what it looks like before I do anything.  I have a video showing you how to do that in case you're curious. So go back and check that out. I will leave a link down below in case you are. So this is what it looks like. It's just a big mess once you put a bunch of stuff in here. I'm actually gonna take the double arrows down here and make it a little bit smaller so we can see what we have. So I'm gonna show you what I purchased really quick. These are all mom files, anything to do with mom, but I thought they're really, really cute. And my, whoops, I made two of these. My number one or two seller are the car decals. I go crazy with these. I'm actually, guys, I'm really excited. If you guys are a subscriber of mine, you know how happy I am. I'm in two stores. I just got in my third store last week. I'm so excited. My stuff is selling out like crazy. If you guys are interested in more information on that, please contact me directly. Or I do have an e-book for sale in case you're interested in learning how to start your own business, kind of where to start from, how to go. I'm actually doing really well.  I'm not boasting. I'm just saying I'm selling a lot. I'm doing a lot. I'm really proud of where I've come from. From starting from nothing to this YouTube channel to selling at the three stores. So again, I'm not trying to pat my own back or anything, but I'm really excited. So if you guys are interested in any of that, you can send me a message or you can purchase my e-book or leave any questions down below. So these are the ones that I purchased, like I said, from Etsy. You can find whatever you want, but I specifically wanted to look for mom ones. So this is what I found. There was a lot more than this, but these are the ones that I wanted to work with. So like I said, this is how they come. They're not resized or not really attached. You have to work with them. So I'm going to just move some of these over and start with the first one. So most of my files that I make for car details are around five by five. So I'm going to start with this first one, Mama Bear. I love it. I'm going to put it on my car. So what I do is start up here at the size and I'm going to go for the width and I'm going to type in five. Normally I go over and change the height, but that kind of skews your image up. So I'm just going to push enter and see what it looks like. So it's going to change it to be the 2.895. I'll show you really quick. If I unlock it and I change this to a five, we're going to see, yeah, it's completely skewed. So I don't always unlock it up here. I just leave it to what it is. So I'm just going to go ahead and push this back button here so that it will just bring it back to the normal size. So I start normally around five by five, but I'm going to let this be the 2.895 and I'm just going to go with the next one. This can be really quick. All I go up here is just change every one of these and let the height to be whatever size Cricut is recommending. So again, I'm just going to go up to each one of these and change it to be five. I'm going to fast forward this because this is the first step and then I'm going to show you there's a couple other steps that you're going to want to do with this, but I'm just going to fast forward this part so you guys don't have to watch me do in each one of these. Okay, so I have all of my files here. I'm actually going to shrink my screen now that I know that they're the proper size that I need. I can make the screen a little bit smaller and work from here. So like I said, when you purchase files, not all of them are attached or welded together for good purposes. If you want to change the colors on something, they allow you to do that. And some of them are already attached to each other. So I believe this, yeah, I believe this mama bear one was completely attached. The only thing you can really do is resize it or change the color. So I'm going to change the color after I'm done with all this. I'm just going to show you a few things you want to check out and make sure you do before you go ahead and cut this. So I'm going to start with this blessed mama one. So you can see on the side here, there's actually four parts to it the bless the two parts of the arrow and then the mama. So you can change the color if you want. I'm not going to go into that with this specific video. But if you have any questions, leave them down below. I'll be happy to help you. So with this one, like I said, it's three parts. So when cricket cuts us out, it's going, if you don't weld this together, it's basically going to leave a cut in between each one of these pieces where these are. Even though it looks like it's attached to each other, you still want to weld it. So with it selected, I'm going to go down here and push weld. And that's just telling cricket that it's supposed to be all one piece, one whole word that cricket is not supposed to cut any little lines in between any of these. With the ones that aren't touching like these with the cursive ones, I just do attach. So I'm going to go down here and click attach. Again, you can change the color on these if you want. But I'm not going to get into that in this video. This one is already all done for you. So you don't have to do anything. And I just go into every single one. So because this has the cursive on here, I'm going to go ahead and actually push weld. Because if again, if you didn't, it will cut it out just like it is surviving motherhood. But it's going to cut out a little line on each one of these where it's attached on here. So this one is already done. This one, I'm sorry, this one has to be my favorite one. My girls are all teenagers, but this would have been funny on my car. For this one, again, I'm going to go down and do weld just because of the cursive part inside here. And you can go ahead and change these to whatever color you want. But this is all I'm going to be doing. And like I said, these are my number one, number two sellers. My number one seller is probably between my key chains that I create on the acrylic key chains or my Starbucks cups. So and then when some are coming with chickens, bean on farms, it normally goes to number one seller is my egg cartons that I sell from Amazon that I purchased. And then I make them up myself. So if you're interested in any of that, let me know. I will send you a link to those. But I do have a links to all of those. So that is pretty much it.  And I'm using a vinyl from it's called Tech Wrap Vinyl, a different company that I've never really worked with before. But they sent me some vinyl to try out. And I have to say I really love this stuff. I normally don't promote things. But I really do like this one again, Tech Wrap Craft. I will leave the link down below in case you're interested in trying it out. But I'm using like the rose gold color for all of these. So I'm going to go up ahead and click make it. And then I'm going to show you what it looks like. It's probably going to bring a few yep, a few different mats here for me. But because I'm going to be selling these, what you want to do is move these over. And because you want to have enough room in between these to be able to cut them and then wrap them. I'll show you that in the next step. But I'm going to look down here and see what it looks like. So I have one really large roll. I'm actually going to change my material size to the 12 by 24. And then it will bring it to one mat for me. And I can move this over to what I need. So what I like to do is give myself enough room in between here that I can have enough extra on the bottom here and enough extra on the top here. I hope that makes sense what I'm talking about. So again, the same thing, I'm just going to make sure that there's enough room in between these. So I'm just going to bring these down and bring them over. And if you're just doing it for yourself, you don't have to worry about so much room in between. Again, I'm doing it because I'm going to be selling these. I'm going to move this guy over here because it's got a little bit more room. But I like to have enough room on each, on the top and the bottom, that I can take my scissors and cut in between and have enough that it looks nice. You know, it's presentation too when you're selling stuff. So this is how I'm going to leave it. I like how it is. I love the room between all of them. Maybe move this guy up. But because I'm using one color, it's going to be very easy. I'm going to go to continue and then it's going to ask me what material I want to use. So I've used this tech wrap before and like I said, it's absolutely amazing. I would highly suggest it. It's kind of like Oracle 651. It is permanent, but they come in really, really beautiful colors and it's very easy to weed. I did a video on this previously. So if you want to go check that out, I did those Libby cups or also known as the beer cups. And it went on really smooth with the tech wrap. So if you're interested, go back and check that one out. But I will weed this and then I'll show you how I package it and how I get it set up to sell. So here we are with the base materials. I actually do for this tech wrap one, I actually go to this washi sheet.  I just have it in my favorite. Then I just leave the pressure to default. I have a nice fine point blade in here. If you're looking for new blades, I will leave a link down below for those to Amazon. So I'm going to put this on my green mat. I'm going to weed it out and then I'm going to show you how to get these ready to sell. All right guys, here it is. I'm really excited how this turned out. As you can see, I left it on my mat. It was a little bit easier that way to weed this, but I really love how this turned out. I'm really excited to finish this up and show you guys how to do it. So because I left it on the mat, I'm going to actually just put a roll of transfer tape over this all at once rather than cutting them out, putting on the transfer tape and then cutting it again. This is going to make it a little bit easier. So I'm going to try a different approach on this. I've never done this before. I just have a piece of parchment paper here because it's going to be one roll on here with the transfer tape. I don't want to mess it up. So I have a huge roll of transfer tape here. I buy this from Amazon. It's the Fisker, I believe it's called. I'll leave a link down below in case you're interested. I have not tried it this way before, but I'm going to give it a try where I'm just going to start the transfer tape up at the top and then work my way down because when I put this on, sometimes it goes crooked and then I'm in trouble. So I'm just going to actually take it and start at the top. The parchment paper actually is so it doesn't stick. As you can see, it's not sticking. So what I want to do is just start at the top and just make a little line right at the top here before it even starts with the vinyl. I just want to make this completely straight before I even get started. So my transfer tape is the exact size of my files. So I'm just going to take it up at the top here and you want to take your time with this because, like I said, once you put this down, you don't want to screw up. So I just want to get just the top part started here and make sure I'm perfect on the edges. All right. So now, like I said, I've never done this before with a transfer or with the parchment paper, but we're going to give it a try since this is going to be one long continuous piece. So I have my scraper here and as I go along, I'm just going to scrape this down so that it sticks on it. So I'm just pulling my transfer or the parchment paper off as we go, making sure the lines stay perfect on the side here. And this is just, if you just have a long piece like I do, this is a full piece rather than little pieces together. So I'm just making sure that it's staying in the middle here on the sides. And I'm just going to do this all the way down, but I just want to show you my trick really quick. Hopefully it's going to work for me. I don't want to miss anywhere. So I'm just taking it, pulling my transfer or my parchment paper down and then I'll just rub it. So just like this is all I'm going to do. I'm just going to fast forward this. You guys don't have to watch this all the way. All right. So that worked out really well. Now I'm just going to take my scissors and cut on the bottom here to finish the transfer tape off. There. So you can save the parchment paper. But that was so much easier.   So this is done. I just want to make sure I get all the bubbles out in here. So I'm just going to screw right this really well. And then I will go in and cut out each one of these.  This is a really long piece. But you know what? It saves some time when you do it bigger rather than just a few here and there. So and I sell a lot of these. So this really goes a long way. So there. So I'm just going to take my scraper one more time while it's flat and then just get out any bubbles that are here. Just like that. Perfect. So now you can see it. They all say. And then I'll show you another thing. Instead of using the scissors, I like to use something else when I can. Sometimes you really can't use the scissors because these aren't lined up. But I have something that really helps cut down the center. So this is just a paper cutter, but it works really, really well.  So I'm actually going to cut the middle out as best as I can first. You want to try to make it as straight as you can because you are selling this. You want it to look nice. So I'm going to go ahead and fast forward this, but I'm just going to cut through this really quick. All right. So now I have two different pieces. I'll put this one to the side and show you. Now I'm just going to take this cutter and now I can go in and kind of see where my line is supposed to be. So if you guys can see this, I'm just lining it up on the edge here. So it's nice and flat because that was the piece that was already cut. So it's nice and flat. And then just make sure you get the middle and then you just slide it just like that.  You know, trim it up and make it look a little neater. But you always want to make sure you have a nice flat edge against this part here. And then there's a line in between here that I can see. So I can see what I'm cutting off. But look, isn't that awesome? So this is the first part. And then I'm going to show you the next part, how I bag it and what I put in here. So I'm going to finish these up really quick. Do the same process. Just put it through my little cutter and then I'm going to show you the next step. So the first thing you're going to want to do is make sure that your vinyl is stuck to your transfer tape. So what I like to do on each one of these is just take my scraper and scrape it on really well and then just do a quick test. Just peel it back to see if all of the pieces are on the transfer tape. So I just take the edge here and then just peel it back so you can see that it's stuck on there. So I just like to take my scraper and scrape each one of these before I put it in. So that's the first part. Here's the second part. You want to have something in your bag so it tells people how to do it that they don't have to go and search for it. So I just found this on Google. Just says how to apply your decal.  I cut them out. I used my little cutter over there and then it's just so easy to do it that way. Just use your printer and print it out. You can do it on your Cricut. You can use your markers and do it all that. But it just takes so much more time and this way is so much easier and cheaper. So I have those and then the last thing is the bags. So I bought some bags off Amazon. They are just clear, self-sealable bags. So this one is a 5x7. I get 200 of them and then I have a little bit bigger size right here. But again, I buy them off Amazon. I really love them because they're clear and then it has a little adhesive part on here that I'll show you guys. So you just got to figure out what size you have. So I don't think that will fit in here. So I'm going to show you a couple of them really quick. So what I like to do, take it and then put it upside down so that the sticky side of your bag is on the back. So I just like to flip it upside down, put it in here really nicely. And then if you have like a business card or something, you can throw it in here as well but I don't add those. And then you just put the other part in here just like that. So it says how to apply on this side and then the pretty part at the front. So then you take the adhesive backing off and I start on one side and I try to get some of the air out. So it stays nice and flat. So it's just like that. That easy. And then when you're going to go to sell it, you can put like a little tag on the bottom here like I always do at the stores.  So let's put my consignment number on the bottom here and then the price. Like I said, you can always add like a business card to here or something if you want to have people get some more. I just choose not to. So that's basically all that you have to do. Alright, so I'm going to show you guys one more. Same thing, you're going to want to do the test on it. So just take your scraper, make sure you scrape this down really well and then just take an edge and make sure that it comes up. This is really important because you don't want to have somebody call you back and say, hey, your vinyl is not sticking or anything. So just do the little quick test so it is and then just scrape it back on. I'm going to take a smaller bag this time and you want to find the back and I like to put it upside down and then make sure you put your little how to in it facing up in the business card or whatever else you might want to have in there. Take the little film side, peel it off, start at the corner, get some air out and voila, just like that. And then again, you just put your tag on it, your price on it, however you want to do it. But that is it. That's basically how I do it. And like I said, I sell out of these like crazy. I'm actually working on some more. I'm going to show a clip on it really quick. I almost spit out my coffee when I saw this one. So I'm going to leave a clip up above. You guys can see it, but I'm going to finish these up. I'm going to start on my next ones and get those going. But I hope this tutorial really helps you out. I hope you go and try to make your own and find some stores that you can sell at. Sell on Facebook, sell on Craigslist. Get your word of mouth out of there. Tell your friends, see if they'll buy from you. Just get going. It is so much fun to make money. So if you have any questions, leave them down below. If you're interested in my ebook and learning how to make more money, I will leave that in the description below. All of my supplies that I used, I will leave down below. Like I said, I used this TechRap vinyl. I'm in love. It was so easy to weed. I didn't have any problems with it. So give me a thumbs up, hit that subscribe button, and happy crafting everyone.


Clean what's going on. It's engraving here within the video and in this video we got another episode of NFL questions from subscribers and Forgive me ahead of time because I may be spamming some videos tonight Just so I can get a little more caught up on these NFL questions from subscribers and in this episode This question came from my guy B balance clothing. He hit me up on Twitter and he said engraving and I appreciate y'all coming through He said engraving should the Ravens trade a late-round draft pick for a quarterback like Tyra Taylor or Jacobi Bressette And before we get into answering that question, let me introduce myself and man, y'all are already doing it already I don't even have to say anything, but let me introduce myself already me. I'm engraving vids This is my YouTube channel engraving vids and I'm a Ravens fan But on here we talk about football period So if you're Ravens fan your bills fan your coach fan or if you just love football Make sure you subscribe man Make sure you subscribe turn your notifications on it seemed like all of y'all got your notifications turned on already and leave a like on the Video to make sure you click the thumbs up button. I see a lot of people already did it But it's a lot of people that didn't so make sure you hit that thumbs up button and know that I appreciate y'all coming through Sorry, we couldn't stream yesterday things was very busy, but y'all already know how it goes on this channel I try to stream every day and if I can I can and if I can I will y'all already know I appreciate y'all don't thank you Now again question for today Tyra Taylor jacobi Berset should the Raven should the Ravens trade a late-round draft pick for one of those now This again was from my guy be balanced clothing So when you think about this, I know a lot of people a lot of Ravens fans They said they wanted Tyra to be that guy that wish we would have kept Tyra blah blah blah And a lot of them said that looking back a lot of them said that in hindsight a lot of them said that Once flacco really got exposed for not being a great quarterback. I mean he's great in the playoffs, but outside the playoffs He's not great. He's not consistent. We all know that that's old news now So a lot of people once flacco started getting exposed and we're like oh man We I knew we should have kept Tyra Taylor man. We should have kept T-Mobile man He could have been better than flacco blah blah Hindsight is 20 20, but Tyra Taylor what do you have succeeded with Baltimore? Hey, who knows the world would never know now should the Ravens trade for Tyra Taylor? No, I don't think so I don't think so reason being because and I don't even think Tyra would even come back to Baltimore because he's Bills gave him what he wanted bills gave him something that he ended up earning and that was a starting spot on a football team He was on Baltimore right in the bench for his entire career love top. Excuse me love Tyra Taylor But he didn't start in the opportunity that he did get to start He showed why he wasn't starting here now granted one start doesn't mean anything because the time with Tyra Taylor started It was when the Ravens were they were already in the playoffs and they were resting their starters for that game against the bingles And I think what it was a week 17 of the the last season But no, I'm not mad that the Ravens didn't keep Tyra Taylor because flacco showed his worth To the team in playoff situations in every playoff situation But anyway So Tyra Taylor I would say no now you flip it to Jacobi Bressette You flip it to Jacobi Bressette and that is a guy we talked about on this channel. I love Jacobi Bressette I love Jacobi Bressette. He does not He doesn't have the best numbers in the world But his gameplay his attitude his just his mentality that all the stuff that you can see on the field Not just his physical attributes and whatnot, but his actual mentality went the way that he You can tell he really has a passion for the game and you can tell this dude is only gonna get better He's only gonna get better. He's only gonna get better like I always talk about what that do Anthony said the Ravens don't like black QBs think about it even though Troy Smith was gonna be their starter before he got the time some infection and he had it actually started the year before Remember Steve McNair the guy that took them to the playoffs. Don't forget about him. They did sign him as a free agent He's a black quarterback. Remember Tyra Taylor.  They were quarterback. So we even got to go there. But anyway I mean y'all be killing me sometimes, but With Jacobi Bressette. Yeah, right was pretty bad though. Yeah But with Jacobi Bressette, I just love that dude's passion for the game man. I absolutely love it he like I said, he is somebody that I Wouldn't be mad if they took a risk on him for a late-round draft pick. I mean what can hurt? You know what Flacco can give you. You know what Flacco can give you know that already Flacco has already hit his peak. He's already Hit his his highest that he's gonna be his best that he's ever gonna be This is 10th year and he ain't got any better and he's not gonna get any better so we know what we got in Flacco and That's he said Raven should trade the franchise So Flacco he's he's he's he's hit a ceiling So the best that Flacco is going to be we've already seen it. We're definitely not seeing it this year, but we've already seen it. So Why not I wouldn't be mad. What's up Lewis? Why not Or not necessarily why not but I wouldn't be opposed if they did make a trade for Jacobi Bressette for a late-draft pick Nothing higher than a fourth. Nothing higher than a fourth. I wouldn't be mad at that at all I wouldn't be upset. I would be like, okay. I respect that and With like I said jacobi Bressette You just never know you never know hey, Donovan, maybe we could work that out, too Maybe they if they want me to be the quarterback. I don't mind. I can't be any worse than Flacco's been but um Yeah, yeah, that's why I said nothing. I meant I meant nothing higher than a fourth with what I meant was a fifth and lower Sorry, I didn't say that wrong. I said it wrong. So my apologies a fifth or lower is what I would trade for the That's what I would trade for jacobi Bressette. So Hey, who knows man? Who knows? I mean the the possibilities are I can't even say the endless because Ravens don't got out of cap room in the world and they They love flak They love flak and oh, okay. Look at that base for Perez. Just said he said but Scotty loves Hobbs Hobbs loves flacco We got flacco till 2022. I'm counting down the days. I don't know man.  You got to go and take flacco with you and we'll even take the cap. We'll take the cap It would take the dead money. I mean they're already kings of dead money. So why not just Do it for the door for your franchise, man. Why not just do it? Now Louis brought up a good point. He said if the coast decided to keep jacobi and trade luck for your number one draft pick Would you do it? No only because No, I don't think luck is worth the number one pick he's shown that he is a Injury prone. Oh, why don't you don't say that? That's kind of scary man He said right was my weasel that way into the playoffs and sound flacco to another extension Now that's I don't know man, that would be bad I've been seeing a lot of stuff talking about we're gonna do another stream about the Ravens and then play off hopes or chances whatever you want to call it, but That would be a that would be something I do. I think it's gonna happen. No Even even if even if we took salary cap off the board If even if we took salary cap off the off the board and we had the opportunity to trade If we had the opportunity to trade a number one draft pick for luck would I do it? No, but if we had an opportunity to trade for Andrew luck, I would do it if we did a flacco for luck I know that would never happen But if we did a flacco for luck even with him being as injury prone as he has been I Would still do it. I would still even if it was if it was a third pick fourth pick Maybe a second. Maybe a second. Maybe a second Not a first but a second or afterwards I would do it. I would do it Vegan King say why would we not trade a number one pick that man is the truth I mean, and he's always truthfully hurt too. That's a problem that it this ain't his first injury. I Like Andrew luck. He's nice, but this ain't his first injury So hey, no problem. Let's appreciate you bringing that up But I know you never know man, you never know Let's put in great visit man and see how he does. I don't know build an offensive line around him Yeah, I mean cuz flacco for the most part of his career. He had an offensive line around him and then Once that offensive line started getting a little shaky That's when what who was it? James Hersch that got James Hersch that got put back into him and that was it Yeah, he is a lot more modern flacco vegan King. You write about that So, yeah, so, I mean we'll see we'll see I mean we won't see what happens with a trade because that ain't happening But we'll see what happens with With with Andrew luck going forward. We'll see what happens with the Ravens going forward because who knows I Mean, I feel I feel like flacco still gonna be on this team forever, but You just never know You never know cuz it's it's like a catch 22 because of course you want your team to have immediate success And make the playoffs and whatnot, but then at the same time you feel like if they have some success and make the playoffs You know, and of course you want to team when it's Super Bowl and whatnot, but If they do do that then that would definitely guarantee Hobbos here another year flackles here another year and we we have that Chance at that mediocrity Just being the norm being a regular see flacco hurt. I mean I can't believe sorry I apologize. I just called you flacco. Please forgive me Don't disown me as your father, but Carter heard the word Ravens and mediocrity. He just he just started whining see The proof is the proof is right there He's tired of my son is tired of it. He has not seen a winning season yet He ain't seen a winning season yet so hopefully I'm not counting on it, but hopefully this will be the first year But anyway, appreciate y'all.

Don't you wish there was a really easy way that could actually predict where you went in life going forward? I mean, this is really as close as it comes to having a crystal ball in your hands and in your life. And that thing is really your habits and your rituals because those are consistent personal decisions that you make every day to become a certain kind of person. On this video, I thought I would share five less common daily rituals that I've seen to highly predict success in people that I follow or people that I admire. What's up, you guys? Alex Hine, welcome back to this video. Now, before we jump in, check out the free journaling worksheet below this video. If you are all into rituals, habits, and journaling, make sure you check out the link below, download the free journaling worksheet and get that free email series because it's gonna help you create an epic life. Ritual number one is the habit of trusting your hunches.  The very first ritual is the ritual of trusting your gut hunches because all of us have had the experience probably of either going out on a date and feeling attracted to the person, but something feeling wrong and still dating them or getting a job that we didn't really like.  The funny thing about all of these scenarios I just mentioned is you probably had a gut feeling early on that yeah, you know, I'm not really feeling it. Something just doesn't feel right. We don't vibe and yet you didn't trust that feeling. I've noticed that in a lot of really highly successful people, and I mean holistically, personally developed as well as financially successful, there's always an element of both, of the gut hunches, they trust their gut and they also trust their logical mind, but we often override the gut because it's very subtle. Ritual number two, the habit of 365 reviews. Now, at the beginning of every new year, I'm always kind of laughing, maybe it's just because I'm a jerk when everybody's making their new year's resolutions, because it's usually the same people, the same of us, who are making those resolutions and then by January or February, at best April they're gone. Now, I think it's great that we all, as a culture, collectively spend one night a week reflecting on what went well, what didn't go well, and what we can improve on going forward in life, but imagine if you just spent five minutes every night doing that, where every night you were just like, you know, these are the five things I really wanna have happen this year in my life or eventually, and what do I think is stopping me from making that happen or what could I do a little bit differently tomorrow to make that happen? That by itself, you're putting yourself in rare air, the category of someone who rather than once per year, one out of 365 is now 365 out of 365, reviewing the life they wanna build and what they're doing well and maybe where they're falling short. So I think that for the average person, even just a ritual of injecting a five minute nightly review or AM review is something that can really change the direction of your life because now you have 365 chances to change for the better rather than just one. Ritual number three is the ritual of insane focus. Now there's a story circulating online about Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in America and the world and I later learned that this story is false but it's a good story nonetheless. So this private pilot was flying Warren Buffett and he asked him, you know, Mr. Buffett, could I ask you for your tips or your method for success? And the story goes that Warren Buffett said, I want you to write down your top 25 life goals and then I want you to get rid of the bottom 20. Just don't focus on the bottom 20 at all, they don't exist. Just look at those key five and what he's really talking about is this kind of religious focus. Now, even if the story is fake, what I think is that I see this in many, many, many successful people and the reason is a very logical one, right?   And if you wanna be a world-class violinist, well, you even look at the number of hours violinists play before they are world-class, the average, the middle number was 10,000 hours. There were people up to 13 or 17,000 hours before they were some of the best in the world.  Where every Friday night, instead of honing your craft, you're going out and hitting the bar or every Saturday morning, you know, you're on Instagram for three, four hours instead of us going to do whatever it is we clean we wanna be the best at. So this habit of religious focus is really a pragmatic one. You only have so many hours in the day. And if I'm spending half of it on Instagram or half of it just doing something not even related to my goal, how is it gonna happen? The fourth ritual that I think predicts success is the habit of solitude. You know, I had a mentor of mine tell me that he had a doctor that had trained him. And his doctor told him that whenever you are frustrated with a problem in life, go into the wilderness until you get the answer. And I thought about this quite a lot because there are, you know, the monastic traditions, the hermits and the hermitages throughout the world are the clearest example of the value of solitude passed down for thousands of years. But I think the big thing in this era is that we have so much information we are exposed to. And what it does is it makes it difficult to see what is another person's thoughts or opinion and what are my own? And so if I don't even know what I really want, I don't even know what are my thoughts or what are some thoughts of some influencer I follow online or some celebrity, how am I supposed to know whether I'm on the right track in my life or not? I can possibly know because if I'm following someone else's metrics for success or someone else's goals altogether, there's no way for me to know at all if I'm even moving in the right direction. So the habit of solitude can just be a two hour afternoon, drinking a cup of coffee, journaling and thinking about your life or it can actually be a trip alone into solitude where you're sitting there with problems that you want to have solved but it's underrated in this generation and this time in history. So the last ritual is the ritual of self insight. I was reading this paper I think it was from some psychologists and the psychologists were presenting the findings 50 years ago of what they asked little boys and girls what they wanted to be when they grew up. Now, I think it was the 1950s and it was hilarious because when you look at the list of what the little boys and girls wanted to be they said the typical things, doctor, fireman, nurse, train conductor, whatever sounds cool, pilot, right? And then they asked these kids different generation in the 2000s, maybe 2010 or so. And they asked the kids, you know, what do you want to be when you grow up? And extremely depressingly, the kids on the top of their list was they want to be famous and they want to be a celebrity. Now, I think regardless of whether or not we judge this as good or bad, what we're seeing is the influence of social media. What we're seeing is that fame and notoriety is more accessible now to the average person as opposed to throughout history where you had to be a TV or radio celebrity which was already so difficult to do but now anyone can turn on the camera and talk. Now, I think the problem is that what this leads us down a road to is what we think will make us happy and fulfilled versus what will really make us happy and fulfilled. Stephen Covey, the author of The Highly Effective Habits talks about this idea of making sure your ladder is up against the right wall. And he gives the story of this friend that was a physician and he was sacrificing all this time and working really, really hard and became a super renowned doctor, maybe even a surgeon and he hadn't seen him for several decades. He assumed things were just going well and he had became the head of the hospital or his department. Sure enough, he goes to this fundraiser for a party one time and the doctor was there belligently loud, just yelling, looking really drunk and he was really confused because this was his old friend that he hadn't recognized and seen in so long.  And then when he got to talking to him later or to somebody else, the party, they found out that he'd been divorced and there'd been all these scandals and all this unraveling behind the scenes and his substance abuse problems and what it really made him think of was that this guy went into this field because of power or status or the money or his parents wanted him to but that kind of inner calling, that inner resonance with the topic was not there with the field. And so the problem was that his ladder was up against the wrong wall. He was climbing and pushing hard to be someone he didn't even really want to be. And so he unraveled internally and then eventually his external life exploded as well. And I think this generation is really in for a lot of that. If they think that fame and social media notoriety is gonna be the thing that fills them up, they're gonna be sorely disappointed when they get that and they don't feel any different. So make sure your goals are really your own goals. All right guys, that's all I have for these five lesser known rituals that I think predict success in a very important way.
