When you see the narcissist live in their best life Many of these narcissists are mentally and emotionally stuck in high school They're stuck at that phase in their lives So they want to be accepted they want to feel important They want to be a part of something They want to be included They want to belong Because this high school phase has crucial importance in our success And if you look at it Your relationship does seem like your dinner with a high school kid Someone who is very immature Someone who has the emotional and intellectual development Appropriate to someone younger someone who has no direction Someone who is unsure of who they are and where they fit Someone who has no sense of self Someone who is confused about their future Even as an adult, they're still trying on different selves They're still creating different characters Because they don't know which character to be It changes depending on who they are with Because they're just being what people want them to be They're not being themselves Because they never form an identity Which is why they continue to be fake Because they have no confidence in who they are They're just following other people's reactions They're following whatever is trending or fashionable So how could they be living their best life? They could only ever be unhappy and unsatisfied Because deep down they feel inferior They feel inadequate Because they could never accept who they really are Instead, they created a false character who is meant to be everything that they are not Everything that they wish they could be But it's not really who they are It's all fake They're nothing but a shell of themselves Because they're trying to cover up the problem By going along with what they think people want to see Because they have no confidence in themselves Which is why they become what they think other people want them to be Rather than being what they want or who they actually are And in the process of doing that They lose their identity So by default all they can do is be fake They can't be real Because to be real they would have to have an identity They would have to decide who they want to be And then be that Instead of going along with what they think people want to see But this is a conflict that they never resolved They never learned how to decipher between gaining acceptance from other people And staying true to themselves So they're confused They're unable to think clearly They don't know who they're meant to be Because it changes from one moment to the next They have so many different ideas Depending on what is trending or fashionable They just go wherever the wind blows They move without planning or thinking Without any logical explanation or reason to it They're just moving aimlessly through life Being a shell of themselves If the narcissist has something to brag and boast about You will see it, you will hear about it Because narcissists are exhibitionists They behave in an extravagant way to attract attention Their attention hoars They behave in a provocative, outrageous and reprehensible manner They're extremely flirtatious and obsessed with themselves So they think they deserve all of your attention Because they're very arrogant and they're full of pride They have an excessively high opinion of themselves And their own importance They think they're special But they are also very envious of other people They want what other people have They want other people's success They want other people's money They want to obtain things that will make them look good And impress the people around them But they also want people to be envious of them They want people to experience discontentment and resentment Aroused by the narcissist's possessions, qualities or luck They want you to decide to have a quality, possession or other desirable thing that belongs to them Because that's exactly how they feel about you They feel like you have it better than they do So they try to predict their feelings of anything on to you They use you to regulate their emotions Because they can't do that on their own They can't attend to their own emotional needs So instead they use you like a puppet They get you to go through it for them So that they can feel better about themselves Which is why they don't want you to have more than them They don't want you to be more successful than they are They don't even want you to be on their level They want to put you beneath them They want to make you feel small Because that's exactly how they feel Even when it may seem like they have it all They're still not satisfied They're still not contented or pleased Because they can never be happy They will always be dissatisfied with their circumstances and with their life They're dissatisfied with their family life They're dissatisfied with their relationships Even when they have a loyal, loving partner and charming children It's still not enough for them They will cheat on their partner They will abuse and neglect their children They will create problems out of nothing They will incite chaos and drama So that they can justify their decision for leaving for a short time Because they always get bored Happy relationships do not keep a narcissist happy They need drama They need an emotional rollercoaster To the untrained eye It may seem like they have the perfect life But it's just an orchestration They know how to plan and coordinate the elements of a situation To produce the desired effect But it isn't real It's a matter of time But it isn't real It's an illusion that they created To get a reaction from you That's all it's designed to do Narcissists always get bored with their relationships They take people for granted And they're always looking for the next shiny new toy The next bigger, better deal They're never satisfied with what they have They always want more And it's the same thing with their work It may seem like they have the perfect job But they're just doing it for money It's not their dream job It's not what they really want to do But even if it was They would get bored of that too No matter what they have or what they're doing They never feel valued enough They always want more Because they always feel like they're missing out on something So even though it may seem like they have the perfect job They will cheat paying taxes They will avoid responsibility for their partner and children They will hoard all of the money for themselves Because it's just never enough for them They will always want more It may seem like they have worked on themselves But they're looking better now They're more physically attractive But they're not satisfied with how they look They know that it's a false image They know that they're acting against their principles and interests They know it's just a character they show to the world It's not really them It's not really who they are It's just something they use To control and manipulate other people By misrepresentation It's a false identity which is used for the purpose of deception It has nothing to do with who they actually are It's an imitation They just copied someone else They took on someone else's ideas and style They copy other people's words, facial expressions and actions They copy other people's personality traits and dress style And then act like it's who they are But they're nothing but a concoction of different people mixed into one Nothing about them is authentic They are fake people They do not love themselves They are not happy with themselves They hate themselves And that is why they hate everyone and everything But they put on an act They pretend like everything is okay They pretend like everything is fine and dandy They hide their discontentment for their lives Behind their fake smiles and their many possessions But if you could be a fly on the wall in their home You would see how things really are Because behind closed doors they are miserable They're depressed They're temperamental Because they're not happy with their lives They were so they dreamed by the media and society They were led to believe that money, success and relationships would bring them happiness But they will never experience happiness if they are greedy If they have an intense and selfish desire for wealth and power If they are envious of other people If they lack consideration for other people And if they're only concerned with their own personal profit or pleasure So they will never live their best life They will just create a facade And they will try to sell the same dream to you That was sold to them The dream that you should only care about yourself You should only focus on your own physical appearance Money, power, success and relationships When none of that is going to make you happy Happiness only comes from within And when you find that happiness within yourself You will be able to share it with other people And they will be able to find their happiness within themselves But the narcissist will never be happy They will never live their best life All they will do is be fake All they will do is put on a show And act like everything is going well for them Even if it's killing them inside If you would like to donate My PayPal link is in the video description Coaching Choirs You can email me at coachinganarchs5.uk Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon


Hi guys this is Jason Zach from Nathaniel School of Music. In this lesson I'm going to take you through a few challenges you might face when you're playing a song which is very familiar to you like Wonderful World as you heard in the intro video. Now the song is very familiar to you. You've heard it a million times right and all the chord changes are in your head. You know all the bass notes, the melody, the change when the chords are changing rather are all very very evident. You just know it's all there but yet you're not able to get it out on the piano for some reason and to kind of solve that problem you then will use chord charts. You'll use you know a jazz like a real book to figure out the charts or you do a youtube video or whatever. Now what if I were to tell you that you don't need any of that all you need is your ear and the theory of the song and how we can build that based on what you might want as you navigate through a song like this. I took Wonderful World because the changes are very interesting it's you could say it's a jazz standard so the changes are very sophisticated in that sense there are a lot of chords there's a lot of modulation it goes out of key and so on and so forth so we'll take this song and I'm just going to take the verse maybe a little bit of the rest and I'm just going to tell you what are the challenges I faced while I tried to play it and create some kind of a version which I enjoyed you know and all of the ingredients which were in my head I told myself I just want to get it out there and what are the concepts which might help me go by be it the bass movement be it the chord movement be it the voicing of the chord be it some flavors which I wanted be it some vocal changes or some melodic changes if you will so I'm just going to walk you through as we played and to kind of make this lesson interesting we are going to take a key which I'm sure a lot of you might find a bit uncomfortable myself included at times F sharp major so I took the rather uncomfortable scale F sharp major primarily to help you understand how my brain is thinking because even I am finding it a bit tricky to get through the changes I could have probably played it all on C major but I need my years and I need my theory to be on point if I am to navigate through and play it with some level of confidence and some level of correctness so we are going to take F sharp major what is F sharp major again F sharp G sharp A sharp B C sharp D sharp E sharp also known as F F sharp that's your F sharp major scale right okay so I'll tell you a few sort of road blocks which I had along the way and I'll just tell you how I navigated through it now I know the song is on the key of F sharp major which I told you and I chose F sharp major so perhaps the first chord will be F sharp and remember I've heard this song and you have also probably heard this song a million times or at least a couple of times so if you haven't heard it maybe pause the video and listen to the song and come back so first chord will probably be some variant of F sharp major the tonic so it could be I see trees of green now F sharp seems to sound quite nice there let's see which F sharp seems to work I see trees F sharp major beautiful or see trees I can you can also decide which extension I see trees maybe the major six I see trees F sharp major seventh is a lot more beautiful I like the F sharp major sixth as well but what I wanted to do is I wanted some kind of a base movement but not change the chord that was my first goal I see trees of green so what if we now look at an F sharp major with a different slash chord or rather the same F sharp major with a different root in its base so that's what I went for at I see trees of green at the word green I see trees of green I could have stayed with F sharp but then it sounds rather boring so I see trees of green so I like the same F sharp major with a B flat base which is the third of F sharp major now I could also look at that and say do I want to play it as a F sharp and then F sharp over a sharp or B flat or should I just make it a good old B flat minor I see trees of green I like that so now I have choices while I'm harmonizing and this just happened real time I just told myself I want to change the base so I see trees of green now I went to the relative minor which sounds very stable so I wanted an unstable chord that's my thought process I see trees of green I like that I like the third somehow in there now how can I produce the third I see trees of green I can make it a three minor seventh which clearly exists diatonically to the key of F sharp major I see trees of green that could be an F sharp over A sharp works perfectly well you could also go a little bit out of scale out of context I see trees of green I could do a secondary dominant if you like those sort of sophisticated jazzy sounds so that will be a B flat bass which I still enjoy but I'm trying to add it with that Jimi Hendrix sharp 9 on the top I call it the Jimmy chord tree green I see trees of green a bit spicy if you want I see all I'll keep it simple to the slash chord green and then red roses too now I think red roses now the melody goes to D sharp so immediately I feel I need to lose the tonic chord and I'll play the dominant chord which is the four of F sharp major which is I'm looking at the melody looking at that D sharp and saying what chord works with it red roses too that sounds too gospel I guess red roses I like it when you play a root where it's third is that target melody so I'm taking a B major there red roses to come back to that minus seventh I like that that makes it very R&B so those are the thoughts going on in my mind so red roses too red roses too I could come back to tonic but then I already used it so rather boring so so far this particular harmonization is going on as I see trees F sharp tonic maybe with an embellished major sixth of green with that slash chord and then going to the subdominant or the predominant four major seventh red roses too and then I'm thinking I see because it goes now to the four I see the so the two minor works really well I see them blue for me and you and even it also works for the the bright blessed day the dark sacred night now I'd like to think of something interesting for for me and you or the dark sacred night and I have no clue where to go so I'm going to try and sing something and I'm going to try and follow that and then build a chord based on what's in my head which at the time is let's just go through it first I see trees of green red roses too I see them blue I like that I see them I like that climbing effect again B is my melody note target and I'm harmonizing it with a third below or the base note which is G sharp minor I see them bloom I like that climb I see them bloom I don't want to come back to the root I see them bloom and then I want to I want to go to you for me and you I know that you is an E flat minor chord because I've heard this song also so for me and you but for me and me and you now that chord for me theoretically is it's very important to know that that's a secondary dominant chord so in my mind I'm using a secondary dominant chord which is the five of the six for me and you very bluesy embellishment as well if you want to add that in your melody in I see them bloom for me and you for me and you otherwise for me and you for me and you sounds good but diatonic and thus not so sophisticated which we're thinking oh when you actually play for me and you you'll think oh yeah whenever you play a sophisticated chord and you figure it out without the internet or charts or a jazz real book so to speak when you get it you know you've got it so it's a great feeling also when you get it on your own you know when you've derived it and it just came to you you know it's it's quite a nice feeling so for me and you but I want to go one step further I see them bloom in my mind to get me to that secondary dominant I start on the root that makes that secondary dominant even more obvious so that's what a bass player would do in a band he he or she would sort of announce the chord or give a red carpet treatment for the upcoming chord by playing by just passing and help you helping us to connect a year to the upcoming chord sort of like a linear motion between chord to chord so I see them bloom and by the way this helps me play it on any key I see them bloom I actually did this because I didn't know for me and you it was very tricky to to know that oh it's B flat dominant you know so keep that and just to prove it to you if I take it on another key A major parabara parabara you need to remember that parabara and now theory helps you so first your year gave you that little motif and that's music theory the five all of the six will go to six okay coming back to our scale f sharp I just wanted to show you that I'm still going to think the same thing whichever scale I play on if I play on C major I see them bloom parabara parabara for me and you you that's a very important strategy to get to that secondary dominant chord which is out of scale but that trick or that strategy is in my recording I've used it it's not like I've used it as a tour guide to help me study that or something no I'm playing it for you right now so it's in my performance so if I play it from the top on f sharp I see them bloom for me and you you may make a mistake it's nice to make mistakes as well so make sure you get what your year wants your year wants that and it will get that okay for me and you now and I think to myself now I my year for me to get that correct chord and I think to myself chord and I think the challenge here is the note is f sharp it's such a simple note because it's the root note of the f sharp major scale it's the one so you would think and I think to myself or and I think to myself the five works and I think the two will work and I think a lot of chords will work you know and I think a sus four of the four would work but the actual chord is and I think to myself it goes into a lydian mode which I think he wanted in that song so and I think now what gives Louis the Armstrong what am I saying should keep that so so what gives Louis Armstrong the license to actually play that D major chord now this boils down to what I call as chord trees so if you if you say f sharp is a tree and there is a tree which has multiple branches which all trees do each of the branch will be a chord so it's almost like an individual a character on a tree which is usually a monkey would end up deciding now which branch should I climb to you know and I think to myself very easy to climb branch and I think to myself and I think to myself all the diatonic branches verses and I think to myself that's probably what was going on in the composer's mind but yeah it's a very very interesting chord I and I've always had a problem playing that so how did I solve this problem so I just told myself I know my melody landing is f sharp and I think okay for me and you for me and you it ends on e flat minor which is the relative minor and then f sharp is my landing melody note right and now you tell yourself f sharp is currently the minor third of e flat minor what Louis does is he makes f sharp the major third of what major chord so you need to reverse engineer the question you may all know the notes of D major chord which is D f sharp a but if I told you what chord will have f sharp as its third note or as its major third note that would be D major and I think to myself okay and I think so it's a beautiful transition it's a semitone down so if a cheat trick if you will would be for me and you would be a minor and I think down a semitone major and I think that works but I don't think that will serve a musical objective as you journey forward with your career to to maybe make a similar modulation of your own a trick would obviously be and I think and I think and I think and I think believe it or not when I was learning this song this way I was going all over the place I never realized man it's just a semitone down but and change minor to major semitone down minor to major now that's the cheat code for the process but in the long run you need to also remember and I f sharp becomes a minor third of something and I think and now f sharp the very f sharp the root of the scale which the singer lands on will now be the major third of what D major so it's it's nice if you see my notes I've put all the possible chord trees of f sharp so you could go through it and try to learn a few more harmonization options if you want okay and now coming to the very last case what a wonderful world and again it was really tricky for me and I think to myself what water I am I initially I went to you know E flat minor then I went gospel I guess what a wonderful world which kind of works what a wonderful world but I never get this right so what I had to tell myself is I had to go back to theory and said to myself what is the most common cadence in music history that would be the 251 jazz cadence so you ask yourself what is the 251 of f sharp major the answer would be 2 G sharp minor 5 dominant would be D flat or C sharp 7th resolving to the f sharp and let's see if that work works what a wonderful world kind of works works perfectly what a wonderful world what a wonderful world and then you can color that land can add an add 9 add 6 add major 7 major 9th up to you you can color it up but I landed on f sharp so for me to get there and then I checked it with the song and I was very pleasantly surprised it was the it was the right chord so this was one of the songs in my journey as a musician which got me to which gave me that confidence to figure out chords by year as some of you might argue but I would say not just by year by singing by theory by everything so when we say I learned this by year I think we are not doing justice to what actually happened when you learn a song by year we are learning it with a lot of theory with a lot of tactical knowledge with a lot of awareness of every register of every voice and I don't know if you want to just limit it and say I oh I got it by year I figured it out by year I just got it I'm born with this stuff no I I think there's a lot of work required to do this and merely being able to read music and knowing theory knowing your chords and scales will not help you in this real world environment and you may be thinking how can you apply this to your own songs or some other music this is really important because in a real world environment these are the only survival techniques you'll ever have if you have a producer or a singer friend or a bandmate next to you they come up with a melody they throw it to you and you don't want to tell them thanks for that it's a nice melody I'll I'll just sit on this give me a couple of days and I'll get back to you you know when you've booked a jam room and you're in the room music needs to be made spontaneously and you need to have the skill to do that just like how we play sports in a in that sense you there's no that there are rules to play the sport but we never learn the sport by first learning the rules reading a huge book and then going and playing the sport no we play the sport and as we accumulate the skill we then develop the rules so music could be similar if you ask me so just to finish off the last line what did I do with the last line I was thinking of a couple of things so let's see what what sounds good or what you like so two five one what a wonderful world now the word world goes on for a fair amount of time right so what a wonderful world can do that I can just do another climb but I did that earlier so let's try some chromatic stuff the trick I had for myself here was why not I move an inner voice I've talked I follow the melody a lot I follow the bass a lot now let's get one of those internal voices and move those chromatically and see what happens you know what a wonderful world becomes a beautiful f sharp augmented chord oh I can go to my four which is the b that's one modulation that's one option what a wonderful world a semitone up f sharp to g now whenever you do stuff semitonally a simple trick theoretically is to tell yourself you're doing anything semitone Lee either think of secondary dominance which I showed you earlier but I'm a bit bored with that so instead of secondary dominance what I thought of doing was bring in a diminished chord what a wonderful world move up a semitone and now play a diminished seventh chord from g world and it in my experience it kind of always works what a wonderful world so you have two modulation options what a wonderful world diminished climbing up or the other option which was what a wonderful world the inner voice goes up and up again and so on and so forth so both those theoretical I just told myself go up by a step you know the inner voice goes up chromatically and just see what happens you know you sometimes when you resolve a chord your your brain just will do it once you know the mechanics of how to play these chords you have already heard this stuff you have already listened to this song and I'm sure a lot of you have listened to a ton of songs many times so you need to also trust your you know your your subconscious activities to to get things going you should not always have a doubt and say what if I play the next chord and if it's absolutely wrong you should you should play the next chord wrong in order to figure out the right chord which again your ear will decide your brain will do the job so just to recap let's just do the B section colors of the rainbow the colors of the rainbow you need to know your melody I like that cadence the 2-5-1 works quite well the colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky are also on the faces of people go in by now that sounds a bit monotonous because I use 2-5-1 for that first line second line also I use 2-5-1 so how do I make it interesting I'll use another 2-5-1 but the minor 2-5-1 so the minor 2-5-1 will be to resolve to the six minor or the relative minor of the F sharp major scale so are also on the faces of people going by that's the normal 2-5-1 but if you take your people go in by I want to end there so the colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky are also on the faces are also on the faces of people going by let's say I want to end there for some reason so you ask yourself what is the 2-5-1 of E flat are also on the faces of people going by that's a very easy trick to take a chord progression with a melody which is for want of a better word rather monotonous and make it a bit more shiny you know so I'm doing major 2-5-1 the colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky now minor 2-5-1 okay which is are also on the faces of people going by okay and if you are a blues improviser very cool to do blues licks over the minor 2-5-1 I don't like to do blues licks so the major 2-5-1 for some reason anyway so now when you do the minor 2-5-1 keep in mind that it's minor 7 flat 5 also called as a half diminished chord represented by that greek letter 5 are also on the faces you may have to change the word sis of faces that syllable just to align with that chord which I think is nice are also on the faces see doesn't go so are also on the faces you can do that are also on the faces you're essentially highlighting the harmonic minor of people going by okay I see friends shaking hands I could do my usual b2 b flat minor that r and b trick I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do I can do a nice climb there so many options I see but originally I think we do what's going on there six to the three minor six to the three minor so you know have some fun there I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do then they they don't they really say I love you now when you play they're really saying I'm doing my diminished trick which is go up a semitone and play a diminished seventh chord they're really saying hey you know I love you ideally you do 251 that's your bankable cadence and then it results right so a lot of the tactics going on in my mind if we were to summarize it and I think even in your mind or any musician's mind would be first of all do an abe comparison between all of your chords and then when you're doing this abe comparison you always think at the upper levels you're always thinking binary binary in the sense it starts off by saying tension or resolution should the chord be a peaceful resolution chord stable another word or should it be an unstable tense or a chord which is yearning or leading to go somewhere that's one way of looking at it binary in a binary perspective then when you are with the choice of a chord you can also say should the chord be diatonic or should the chord be non-diatonic or chromatic or away from the scale so you could make these very binary judgments should the bass go up or should it go down simple decisions to make right should I do 251 major or should I do 251 minor you know should I do this chord or that chord so whenever you make a decision with your brain I think it's best if you think at the upper levels you think in a very binary or with a very binary perspective that can be very helpful in the long run and very stress free also because it just becomes this or that and you see if you like this else choose that or choose both at some point so hopefully this lesson gives you a few perspectives to choosing chords using a year using our theory theory is almost like a sort of you're going into the jungle with a backpack and you're well prepared for the challenges of the jungle if a if you were bitten by a snake or chased by a crocodile what would you do you need a toolkit with something in it right so that if you ask me is music theory it's always the survival mode for a musician don't look at music theory as the basis of going to the jungle in the first place you're going to the jungle because you love the adventure you want to be there but to survive in the jungle it's always good to know your theory and the year training as we call it colloquially would be do you have the instinct to survive in the jungle so you may have all the tools you may have some expensive weapon to defeat an animal or whatever but do you have the instinct to do it when it comes at you that is how I would look at year training versus music theory which is why you would need both you never say I learn this by year I learn that by theory or I'll do that by notation no I'm not a fan of that I've always believed that you need all the tools all the resources available to to learn a song and when you do learn the song you should feel or tell yourself that oh I've done this and it's gonna help me play the next song a lot nicer or it's gonna help me learn the next song a lot faster or it's gonna help me make a new song using the concepts of this song so I always like to look at a future proof way of learning songs rather than I have to do this song in two days but that that's not generally how I like to go about things so that's in a nutshell how I have figured out this great song by Louis Armstrong wonderful world and hopefully this guides you through with a perspective to figure out other songs be it jazz standards or your own compositions or even a simple old nursery rhyme I guess

After a cancer diagnosis, the focus is understandably on monitoring the spread and resurgence of the cancer. But patients often also want to know what additional steps they themselves can take to support their body's fight. Previously addressed to what to eat after a cancer diagnosis, what about eating nothing at all? Fasting is purported to ameliorate cancers, but to support such claims, they cite studies like this on castrated mice. That's because there are no human studies of efficacy, though there are a few case reports. For example, water-only fasting and exclusively plant foods diet in the management of follicular lymphoma. Traditional chemotherapy has been the mainstay of treatment for follicular lymphoma, but in the majority of patients, the cancer surges back within a few years, and the chemo is associated with immediate and enduring toxicities, including secondary malignancies, meaning new cancers caused by the chemo drugs themselves, raising the question of whether chemotherapy should be abandoned for the disease. OK, so anyway, 42-year-old woman presented to her primary care provider with palpable mass and her groin was immediately sent for a CT scan. Surgical biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of a low-grade follicular lymphoma. They then found involvement in the lymph nodes in her armpit, which would make it a stage 3, meaning spread throughout the body. As it didn't appear to be aggressive, she was just advised to follow up every three months to monitor its spread, but she didn't want to just sit around, so she contacted the Tree North Health Center in California to explore medically-supervised water-only fasting. She'd never smoked tobacco, but she had consumed the standard American diet. So they started her on a whole-food plant foods diet free of added salt, oil, and sugar. Then she did 21 days on water only, before transitioning back to a diet of minimally-processed plant foods, including fresh raw fruits and vegetables, steamed and baked vegetables, whole grains, and legumes in about an ounce a day of nuts and seeds. OK, so what happened? On physical exam, her cancerous lymph nodes seemed to be shrinking, and indeed, on CT scan, her enlarged nodes shrunk up to 90%, and no longer seemed to be active before and after. What could it have been? I mean, she did lose weight, about 20 pounds, but follicular lymphoma does not appear to be associated with obesity, nor does BMI appear to affect clinical outcomes. It's possible the plant-based diet alone helped. Follicular lymphoma is the second most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which itself is the most common type of blood cancer in adults. Iron takes of dietary fiber, whole grains, and several fruits and vegetables are reported to reduce the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, whereas animal-derived proteins and fat and meat and dairy may increase it. A dietary pattern high in meats, fats, and sweets was associated with three times the risk of follicular lymphoma, or just the fat and meat associated with up to five-fold higher risk. But why? The thought that foods of animal origin may increase the risk of blood cancers originated from the frequent finding of an increased incidence among people who are occupationally exposed to animals and meats, like livestock and poultry farmers, butchers, and slaughterhouse workers, must be acknowledged that animal foods are a potential source of infection by cancer-causing viruses. But it may just be the animal protein excessive consumption. Of animal protein, it may encourage malignant changes through chronic persistent stimulation. The thought is that continuous exposure to these foreign proteins may act like a chronic irritant. The animal protein theory is bolstered by the fact that straight protein, casing milk protein, increased the number of lymphomas and rats, but that doesn't mean the same applies to people. Maybe it's the hormones and antibiotics contained in meat, or just the saturated fat, which may both impair the immune system and promote chronic inflammation, which may play a role in lymphoma. And it appears to just be animal fat consumption, so maybe it's just like something building up in the animal fat. There may be a link between exposure to industrial pollutants and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. And food, especially meat, milk, and fish, is the immediate source of almost all dioxins and PCBs in the general population. Dioxin-like pollutants build up in animal fat, which can then be passed along to consumers. Vegetarians may only be exposed to about 2% of the dioxin dose compared to the general population. The highest single levels in the US have been found in chicken, but thankfully the contamination levels are declining in all meats across the board. Furthermore, consumers may further reduce exposures to dioxin-like compounds by trimming fat before and after cooking, and by thoroughly draining fat from cooked meat. What about buying organic meat? The title kind of gives it all away, when it comes to carcinogenic contaminants. The difference between organically and conventionally produced meats were surprisingly minimal, exceeding the maximum limits regardless of what kind of meat we buy. Strangely, not only does the consumption of organically produced meat not diminish the carcinogenic risk, but for some meat it appeared even worse. What can decrease your exposure to fat soluble pesticides is fiber, and then our good gut floricant turn fiber into butyrate, which absorb back in our body from the colon and acts as a tumor suppressor, demonstrated in more than 100 published studies, including protecting against lymphoma. It also has potent anti-inflammatory effects that may help explain why fruit and vegetable consumption has not only been associated with decreased risk of developing lymphoma, but also been linked to improved survival. Maybe it's all the antioxidants in plant foods, which appear protective when it comes to follicular lymphoma, but not necessarily when in supplement form. Vitamin C intake from foods, for example, may be protective, but not from supplements. Some of the reasons the lymphomas and cancers of the bone marrow tissues are significantly lower in vegetarians and vegans is not just because of what they're avoiding, but all the goodies that they're getting more. The phytochemicals and antioxidants in fruits and vegetables may inhibit tumor progression via a variety of mechanisms beyond just the potential adverse effects of meat. So, given the link between fruit and vegetable intake and lymphoma survival, maybe a lymphoma diagnosis can be an important, you know, teachable moment to improve diet in patients. That certainly seemed to be the case here. At our six- and nine-month follow-up, she reported strict compliance with her whole-food, plant-based diet, and her lymph knowns remained unpalpable. Okay, but this was published 2015. How's she doing now? We'll find out next.

The United Way of Crow Wing and Southern Cass County has held its annual chili cook-off today at the Brainerd Westgate Mall this year's theme, which Chili Olympics and featured Olympic gold medalist from the 1980 Miracle on Ice team, Phil Verkota. Now, businesses, organizations and nonprofits from all over the Brainerd Lakes area faced off in a chili cooking competition. All to the benefit, all to benefit the United Way and its mission of helping others in the community. Yeah, so the annual chili cook-off, this year we moved it to January and the reason is so that we are celebrating our annual fall fundraising campaign and so every year, September through December, we are out in the community raising money for the work that we do and we thought that this is the perfect way to come together as a community and celebrate that.

So, you know got no problem about that, man About to be official in a couple minutes, man Oh, Gary. No, are you trippin, man? It is me Marlon Humphrey's still injured. I think Marlon Humphrey's fine. They just they definitely not gonna play him in these last couple games though I ain't had Denny's in a while. I can't tell which is better. No, I'll tell you I'll tell it for you is Denny's Denny's better If a cornerback gets hurt, who's next up? Stevens or Westry Yeah, um No, Anthony Abert actually first He'll be the first in line It's also on cleaver. He looks try. I I I I didn't really pay attention to him like that like that this game So I can't really tell you too much, man He said Denny's pancakes always burn. Well, I don't eat pancakes. So That's that's probably why I don't eat pancakes. I don't I ain't care for nobody pancakes I'm satisfied with the score and amount of likes. So I'm here Appreciate it. I'll see you next time appreciate you coming through No, we ain't got nothing on jk yet. Nothing on jk, man Yeah, hey, I agree Lisa say am I the only one that likes french toast over pancakes me too. I agree I'm a thousand thousand percent with you right there 1000% Denny's for older folks.

They just need to say a When it's when it's time for playoffs, they need to treat it like it's the preseason and then they'll be straight Then they'll be straight That's true. Gary Appreciate that tanu Thank you, man To Denny's for seniors. That's me senior That's me You mean September 1st as a key day for the Raven you think Raven making any additions after the cuts Only to only two guys that they may have cut though I think they'll they'll bring some guys back and I think they'll bring some guys back after week one as well because August 31st September 1st, that's when they got to get down to 53 men on the roster But then after week one after week one is complete and the Ravens game is the last game But after week one is complete anybody who you sign after week one Then their salary is not guaranteed Ravens always do these loopholes every single year And I they'll probably do it again this year. So somebody like Eric Tomlinson. I can see them cutting him initially Uh, not putting them on practice squad none, but cutting him initially Then they go through the Raiders game get through that and then I can see them bringing him back I think that that's what I think happens, man but Hmm Honey came throw deep what? Did you you didn't watch the game tonight? We've been sitting here for like two and a half hours together. You ain't watching We need to call avion now for what? Imagine getting blown out in your hometown Well, yeah, you happen to Ravens too. That was everybody sometime fried white bread Take a great waffle or pancakes any day And the hay is in the barn. It is true. It's it's the hay is in the barn officially They'll keep Josh Oliver. He made a team honey can throw the mess out of the rock. Yeah, man Waffle house for the win quality food Oh quality entertainment. Waffle house always got something crazy going on, man That ain't the kind of entertainment that I want to see though I'm always asking for fully guarantee Friday. Yeah, Sally. I knew concha. We'll see when it comes We're gonna see when when the time comes man All right, y'all. Hey, this is a lot of fun, man.

Hey guys, Jeremy here. Sorry for the kind of up-close look here. This is just a new lens that my dad got for me. It's a 50 millimeter lens and I just wanted to try it out for something. Mainly I actually wanted to talk about a recent background extra story I had. Just thought that this was really interesting. Some people have asked me what were the details of it. My roommates, my girlfriend, no, but so on Monday. So Sunday night, well first starting Sunday. Sunday I was working on a indie short film and I was out in Burnaby and I didn't get home until 4.30 a.m. Monday morning. It takes about an hour. It takes about me about 50 minutes to get from Burnaby to where I live. So I get about, I don't know, so the sun's coming up. It's really hard for me to sleep when I'm hearing the friggin' birds chirping out the window. So anyways, I get maybe about four or five hours of sleep and I get ready. I get dressed and I'm heading out to Abbotsford, which is in the opposite direction. Not nowhere near as far as Burnaby for a background shoot. A friend of mine, Shana, she contacted me saying, hey, you want to be a background extra in a Punjabi movie? I was like, oh, sure. Where is it? Surrey. So the day before, it was originally in Surrey and then it got changed to somewhere in Abbotsford. And then I'm at the gym. I'm trying to go to the gym before I go to this shoot and at 12, all of a sudden it's changed to a different church. In the end, it wasn't actually a change of location entirely, it was just a change of which church they used first. And I was at 12. And already I'm getting the assumption that things are kind of a little bit hectic, a little bit not very organized on this show.  Compared to the fact that we've been on TV shows, movies and everything, and with solid crews schedules and everything, this was weird. The first thing that we noticed, at least from what I noticed from what it was going on, there's no call sheets, there's no lists of how the shots are going, how the scenes are going, it's kind of just off the top of a script, which was a really interesting script once you got to read. So we're at this church in old Abbotsford, and I put on my Mr. Rogers getup, which is a dress shirt with this red cardigan I got from someone. They notice me and they say, hey, you can be a reporter. And I was like, excuse me? They say, you'll be the reporter character here. Here's a line. And I'm okay. So the sound guy comes over and wires me. The sound guy who I saw was drinking a bottle of wine. So maybe that's how they were getting through the day. Apparently other people were saying the non-East Indian crew were saying that they were trying to, they were having to have some like some drinks throughout the day to make it through the day. Anyways, so I get wired up and then all of a sudden I notice that they've, what's happening is this, the girl, the main character of this film who is a big soap opera actress in India apparently, she's coming out of the court room, which is the church, because there's been a monumental decision made in some court proceeding or something like that. So as she's leaving, we all swarm her with our cameras and everything. My buddy, one of my other coworkers, Alex, who is a, he was a reporter or a camera man with his little handheld canning camera. This one is so funny. So we're all swarming her, they're doing a crane shot, which took forever to set up. Anyways, so we're all following her and I noticed that there's no lines for us given.  Timmy, give us a scoop. What's happening next? What's the book deal? I had a lot of fun with this because the sound guy is hearing everything I'm saying and I'm like, I wonder if it's gonna get into the movie. So I just keep doing it over and over again. Can you give us a comment? Showtime. Who's gonna play your character? Give us a motion. Give us a motion. We'll be the distribution. The second time they do the same shot of the girl walking down the, walking down the street, down the sidewalk, they make her, they, they try and do what a dolly shot, which is they, usually you have a dolly set up, which is this mechanical heavy weighted device that you have it as a seat and a contraption that attaches the camera to and other crew members are on it and whatnot. And usually there's a pull focus guy too, along the side, like doing this with his little device. This was literally just a wooden platform with some sandbags on it, a wooden box and the guy holding a $20,000 red dragon camera, maybe like, I don't know, $10, $20,000 red dragon camera, that still has the mounts to be put on a slider on his shoulder like this. And there's a guy standing next to him holding the focus like this. It's the most ghetto set up I have ever seen of a, with an extremely expensive video camera.  I say book deals, all this garbage and whatnot. So then they finish with that set up and then they go to the second church, which is down on Mount Lehman Road. And we get there and I change into another set up, which is this, I just brought a vest and a tie and a white dress shirt, which is, I don't know, just do that. I like to wear my vests. Anyways, they see me and and I quote from one of the crew members, I'm not going to say who but he was one of the people who was kind of in charge of giving people directions. I looked Jewish. So I fit the role of a lawyer. I'm designated as a defense lawyer. So they put me down the table to the right. They're trying to turn this, this, this, this church into a courtroom. Yet there's no jury. There's there's absolutely no jury area, which is so funny. Anyways, so they set us up, they see how they're going to set up the shot and everything.  So I'm reading my book and everything.  One of them, one of the East Indian guys, I, I don't know, I couldn't tell who really was the AD. I could tell who the director was. There was this one guy who whispered a lot. He seemed to be the director because he was saying cutting and action and everything. But there was a guy in a blue shirt who we think was the AD, but we're not entirely sure. And then there was these other guys who were the ADs underlings. I don't know. Anyways, so we get into the we get into the court, we're going back into the courtroom. And all of a sudden they make say they say here you sit here and I'm now the prosecution, apparently. So I went from being a defense lawyer to a prosecution lawyer in less than 10 minutes. And we sit down and the AD, the assistant director, who I think was the assistant director, hands me this script with this terrible broken English and says, Can you say line? Sure, I read the line as they're setting up. It is so broken. It looks like what you would do. I remember doing this for my French classes back in high school. It's like they wrote the line out in Punjab, and then they put it into Google translator. And that's what they got. So the line comes, they say it from like, they're filming me from behind both times, which is like, Okay, whatever. And then the third time they do it, after the sound guy is actually dewired me because he doesn't think they're going to film me anymore. All of a sudden they turn the camera around and they shove it in my face. And I'm supposed to stand up, say my line. And the main girl is supposed to appear behind me in a rack focus, like it's gonna focus the focus is gonna go from me to her because she's making a dramatic entrance into the court into the court case or whatever it is. I do the line the first time and then they realize that I'm not wired. I was trying to make him point about it and then the sound guy comes in and all they do is they just take the sound cue mic and everything and they just put it on the table in front of me because it's not in view. And that and so then that's they shoot the scene.  But then I also heard that it was going to be dubbed in Hindi, which means that the fleet actress who is I who's speaking Punjab in the film, her voice is not even going to be used in the end. She's going to be dubbed. So I don't care really what happens to me. I want to see what I look like being dubbed in another accent or sorry, another language because I can totally finally have that Godzilla the Japanese Godzilla moments with a terrible English dubbing. So I'm really looking forward to this actually hopefully I can find this somewhere. So I really want to show this to people because this was such an interesting experience. And this was all in eight hours, eight hours to do two scenes, which I guess wasn't that bad. But just of how apps how unorganized but as well as organized this whole setup was how crazy the whole the miscommunication between the North American crew guys and the East Indian crew guys was so out of left field. The I think the Gaffer or one of the main light guys on this crew came up and asked him if they wanted something they didn't really respond to him so he just went and did it anyway. It was so chaotic.  But I do thank her for taking me on to this because this is one of the most interesting filming experiences I've ever had. It's my it's my first on screen experience since being a background extra in Jennifer's body. Yeah, I'm this bat this guy in the background here when Megan Fox and Amanda Seafreed walk past me. That was back in 2008. Yeah, it was a fun time.  I'm hoping I can go back on. I admit though if I were to work on something like this, I would be losing my marbles. Oh, that was another thing too. There was no locations team, which is what I'm a part of right now and for my job and the fact there was no locations. My buddy and I who are in locations, we kept on looking at scenes situations that we would normally take care of. And we're just like, just so weird. Anyways, guys, that's my experience of being on a Punjab. I think Punjab or Hindi movie. I don't know. I don't know. But it's going to be interesting because all the background aside, no, the main their main actor, the main actress, these guys who are on trial, they're the victims or whatever of the whole court thing. Aside from the actress and these victims, everyone else whose background was white. So I'm very interested to see how this works out. Oh, wait, no, sorry, I do make there was this little Chinese lady who was given the role of being the main reporter next to Miss Dean. I can't remember her name. But she was good. I don't know why I don't know why I was Mike, because she was killing it as you can see in the clips. But anyways, guys, that's all for me. That's my experience of being on a low budget Punjab movie. I just wanted to talk about it. I really enjoyed the experience. It made me feel a little bit more comfortable, happier with where I am with the shoots that I'm on. Because I would I don't have much hair to tear out anymore. And I would be tearing out what was left if I was on this. But it was definitely an eye opening experience. Anyways, guys, that's all for me. I hope you guys enjoyed this story. Sorry if that you got weirded out for me being so close to my face all the time. But I thought it'd be interesting. I just wanted to try out this lens. It's a nice new lens. Anyways, that's all for me. See you guys next time.


Time is such a precious resource especially when you are working on your business I hope that you're not working too much and so how do you spend your time when you're working on your business? So that's what this video is going to be about so I call this true productivity this this topic and Productivity people usually think of as getting things done but You can get a lot of things done that don't actually move your business forward and Then you can get a relatively few things done that move your business forward by a lot so the way that I define true productivity is being in meaningful contact or valuable interaction with the people that your business can most serve Versus being in your own head working on your website, you know Preparing or planning that course or that book that you haven't yet announced. Let me explain It's very easy in our business to be doing things that Feel like we're getting something done. So for example, I'm working on my website. Oh, I'm working on my book Or I'm working on my course. I'm working on Always planning and preparing something But when was the last time you were actually in interaction with your audience and your market? That's it. So I really think of true productivity in three areas your content Being actually placed in front of people. Okay, for example, if you're posting to your Facebook business page and you're not running Facebook ads It's not truly productive because nobody is seeing it if only 10 people or 20 people are seeing it it's not enough people to To to build a business right so true productivity content is content not just creation, but also distribution making sure it's out there offerings Creating offerings and announcing them as soon as possible so that you can get feedback and hopefully get some new clients Would you like some new clients? Would you like some new sales? You know soon sales in your business, right? So content sharing and distribution offerings visibility announcement and Conversations are you having conversations with your potential clients? Because without conversations things don't really move forward, right? So let me refer to some of my notes here I'm actually reading to you from One of the chapters in my book joyful productivity Which by the way, if you don't know there is now Joyful productivity now has an audiobook version. So if you prefer to listen I Have a wonderful reader who has recorded the audiobook for me and she has a wonderful voice So check out the joyful productivity audiobook. I think you you might enjoy it if you like this kind of topic So let's talk first about what kind of people Would it make sense for your business to be in to be in valuable interaction with as frequently as possible?  So if your workday isn't Involved with being in contact with one or more of these people through content offerings or conversations. I really wonder Then you should be questioning what you're doing with your workday and I'm going to share with you a list of Suggested activities or tasks that you might want to think about putting into your workday or your work month And also a list of questionable tasks things that you might want to drop so it's important for us to have a to-do list Yes, but also a to drop list. Do you have a to drop list things that you should write down? So, you know, am I am I spending time doing that? Maybe I shouldn't be spending time doing that That's not such a good idea. So I'll share both of those lists with you. Okay, so my truly productive to-do list here we go One and not in any particular order really but one creating and publishing Content for my ideal audience not spending too much time perfecting it Okay, to engaging on the meaningful comments On my content now. I have been Kind of neglectful about that in the recent months. So I apologize. I'm not responding to your comments as much as I used to Just there's so much on my plate as you can see there's a lot of things on this list of to-dos and you can you can You don't have to do all of these things but If you're if you're working day isn't spent doing these things. I really you should really question what you're doing with your time Okay, three Contacting fans or colleagues about doing market research conversations or fan interviews. So if you're not contacting your Email subscribers or your Facebook fans or your YouTube subscribers or commenters on a regular basis Asking them to be in one-on-one conversation with you to learn about what they're buying That's related to what you offer and what they're trying to buy that they can't find that's related to what you offer And therefore you can ask them. Hey, you know, I've got this thing I wonder what are your thoughts about it? Do you think people would want to buy this and how can I improve it so that people would want to buy it more? You know that kind of those kinds of conversations for Reaching out to prospective clients to offer and a sample session of what you do or an exploratory call. So This is basically when people have already reached out to you through comments on your content or through You know inquiries about your services Are you reaching back out to them? Are you following up and inviting them to a to a phone call to a video call? To answer their questions about what you do or to help them out in a sample session so that they can experience what it's like To work with you in number five reaching out to referral partners to schedule a mutual support networking call So referral partners are people who have an audience that you think your services or products would be great for and You have a sense that they would be they would have time for you They would want to make time to have a networking call with you to see if they want to refer some business to you or vice versa and Yeah, and usually it's people with a similar size audience as you so if you have a similar size the number of fans that I have Please reach out five thousand fans or plus or minus a thousand of real fans not not not fake fans But yeah similar size audience, you know, you should reach out to people Plus or minus a couple hundred, you know depending and I don't I would say plus or minus like 20% in terms of variation of fan base something like that 20 to 30% I'd say, okay Thoughtfully number six thoughtfully connecting with previous clients that you've enjoyed working with have you done that recently? It's time to do it. Okay, especially Well, yeah, I'm recording this in the new year But it's really anytime is good for connecting with previous clients number seven contacting current clients To schedule the next session if need be number eight announcing your next event Announcing your next course your next workshop This is what I prefer to do before I start preparing for a course. I sell it I announce it to you all saying hey, I'm about to create a course I kind of gauge your interest to see if you're interested in it if there seems to be enough interest then I spend time Writing the sales page preparing the course a little bit And then after I've prepared the course just a little bit After I prepare the course a little bit And I created the sales page and I then I sell it to you to see if you want to buy it because if not enough of you buy it I'm not going to make the course and you should have the same mindset too You shouldn't be spending months and months creating something if you don't know people are going to buy it or not You should only spend time creating something when you already have sales this is To me it's become obvious because I've been doing this for 10 years to some of you it's a revelation I spend very little time creating something if I don't have sales already I spend time getting a sense from you. Do you want to buy this? Oh, you do want to buy it? Oh, okay All right, great. Let me start putting the sales page together Okay, see if you actually buy it. Oh, you bought it. Oh enough of you bought it. Oh great Now I'm going to start putting it together That's how I create my courses I create a after I get enough sales and a step by step as the course goes along so That's that's what I mean by announcing the next event workshop or course because announce it give yourself a real deadline to create something You know at least the first module of it see if there's enough sales to make it worth your while number nine preparing for a great meeting or event Preparing for a for a meeting or event I should say a client meeting Uh, you know if you're teaching something so preparing number 10 being truly present in that meeting Um number 11 sending email newsletter to my subscribers number 12 posting my offering And uh announce announcing the next thing versus posting it is just kind of reminders about the next thing That's what I mean. Number 13 getting feedback from my audience about my offerings Draft to a sales page, etc. I should be reorienting some of these things. I realize number 14 doing paid Advising for my content facebook ads google ads Um, are you doing that? Like I said, if you're not using paid ads for your content Are you are you sure there are enough people seeing your content if you're posting? I see some of you posting to your facebook business page But you don't run facebook ads and you get like one like proposed and I just wonder What are you doing? Okay, if you're only getting one like proposed, how do you have I don't even have the patience To post to a social media platform if I only get one like or zero likes Per post I really don't understand what you're what you're doing if you're posting to your facebook page and nobody's liking it Consistently nobody's liking it or one person's liking it Two people it's not enough people not enough people are seeing your stuff.  So it's it's been a requirement to spend money on facebook ads since 2013 Did you know this in 2013 facebook made a change whereas Before 2013 if you post it to your business page most of your fans will see it starting 2013 they turned off the spigot And decreased the fan base decreased the visibility of facebook business pages by 90 So now only about 5 to 10 percent of your fans will see any of your postings That's why we all have starting 2013 already. We've all had to spend money on facebook ads Maybe you haven't started well now Certainly it's time to start okay 30 dollars a month. Do you have 30 dollars a month? You can budget for your business I hope you'll say yes if it's your business If it's your business, you don't have 30 dollars a month for advertising What kind of business is that right? Please please spend at least 30 dollars a month. I spend two to three hundred four hundred dollars a month on my business for facebook ads on one business the other one too so It's 30 dollars a month. There's not too much to ask of you. Okay. Just start just start. Okay. Um Paid advertised number 15 paid advertising for my offerings if I post the reminders Oh upcoming course or whatever it may be I run paid ads on those as well number 16 getting feedback about my from my clients About how to improve my services. That's important too number 17 writing a book or course on a schedule So that I publish rather than perfect You notice there's a difference between writing Or creating on a schedule versus just doing it knowing that at some future point. It's going to be created That's very dangerous If you're creating a book or a course and you don't you haven't already announced when it's going to be published It's dangerous own Because you could be doing it for two five ten years Or for two five and ten months when it really should be only taking you know for an online course You'll only be taking you At most two months to create something at most Maybe one I create a new course every month and I'm just extremely busy So if I'm busy and I'm creating a new course every month if you're not that busy You can certainly create a new course once a month Uh and a new book once every six months. I that's I'm busy and I do one book new book every six months on schedule What about you are you as busy as I am? I don't know. Maybe you are you have if you have family to take you have kids Okay, fine. If you have kids, you're busier than me. Okay If you have aging parents that live with you, you're taking care of them. You're busier than me But if you have neither of those situations Your kids are not you know young kids. You're taking care of them You know, you have no no excuses in my opinion. You have no aging parents living with you You have no excuses Unless you have a full client slate You have no excuses you should be writing a new book every six months Creating a new course every month in my opinion. It doesn't have to be short. It doesn't have to be long It doesn't have to be complex or perfect. Just create something every month Announce something every month so that you can keep your audience um Knowing your rhythm so that you have accountability of creation you are a creator So why aren't you not creating?  I I wish for you continued consistency and joy in the creation and Always continually learning about yourself and about Your audience because of these creations and continued service, right? Um number 18 implementing a course or article that helps me do one of the above all right This is especially important for all of you who are watching this if you watch my content Chances are you watch other content or you watch my courses or you you watch other people's courses I never Watch an online course Unless I am actively implementing that thing right now So I will watch for 15 minutes And I will go implement for half an hour I'm not going to just Watch and now of course. I'm shooting myself in the foot because I do want you all to attend my one hour courses Like George, what about your one?  It's more fun There's interaction. There's more networking going on but Um, but if you're buying my courses, please don't just watch the whole hour and go wow That was great and then move on with your day You should be watching 15 minutes or five minutes at a time and then pausing and then going doing just doing something with it Or reading an article or reading a book. Are you just reading and like oh, that was cool. That was great I felt like I learned something There is no true learning Without action and without mistakes You have to no matter how much you've learned through a book or a course You have to then take action and almost certainly in your action. You're going to make mistakes. I welcome mistakes I'm like, oh, I didn't do that right. Oh that ended up with no results or negative results. Huh Like curiosity kicks in and say What did I what could I do differently next time what I do differently tomorrow, you know So never read an article read a book watch a course Unless you are actively implementing it right then and there So whenever you instead of read, I mean sure you can read in your free time But I'm talking about in your working hours from 8 a.m. To 6 p.m. Or whenever you work Do you first of all, do you have scheduled working hours? We should start there because if you don't have scheduled working hours, I'm worried about your business I would not invest in your business if you don't have scheduled working hours because How can a business not have scheduled working hours? It's it's just there's no consistency. There's no Reliability, there's no accountability. So you have to have scheduled working hours Okay, mine is 7 a.m. To 7 p.m. Except I take large chunks of breaks. I take, you know An hour for breakfast and nap during during my working seven hours that I'd work 12 hours a day Okay, but during those 12 hours during in the middle of the 12 hours. I take one hour for breakfast and nap Oh, uh, no, I'm sorry. Uh, no in the morning in the morning. I'm sorry I take the hour and a half for dog walk breakfast and nap an hour and a half I take another hour. So that's two and a half hours in my 12 hour day already That's another hour for lunch and nap And then two more hours in the late afternoon for a dog walk and snack and nap. I'm like a baby I I nap three times during my working day um So that's uh four and a half hours So I work 12 12 hours a day 7 a.m. 7 p.m. But in those 12 hours, I have four and a half hours of breaks So what about you and those are all scheduled in I'm very religious about those things So do you have a scheduled work day? And do you have scheduled breaks that you I never work more than two hours at any one stretch of time And even in those two hours, I work in 25 minute segments unless I'm in on a call or in a meeting Obviously, then I do the meeting but if I'm just working on my blog post or book or course or uh administrative duties, it's it's 25 minute segments with a you know 27 minute segments with a three minute break, you know, that kind of that kind of working style So um, anyway, if I'm implementing if I'm if I bought a course and I'm implementing it I schedule it into my working day and I don't just watch the whole course and enjoy and eat popcorn or whatever And I go watch 15 minutes or five minutes of it I implement for half an hour or whatever it takes I watch enough. So you should be doing that with your learning, okay Number 19 asking a question on social media or in a group that will help me get unstuck doing any of these activities You probably do that as well. Maybe you have a support group that you can ask I have a group program It's it's full right now, but you might want to inquire about the the next year Uh group program you can ask questions in my group program and you know get get my help get other people's help Number 20 getting one on one, uh coaching and consulting to help me do any of the above I hire coaches to Number 21 eliminating or delegating as much of everything else as possible Okay, that's that's productive too. It's productive to eliminate things from your to-do list I encourage you to do that or delegating or or just outsort or automating it or just getting rid of stuff And number 22 interspersing various forms of self-care throughout my work day I've already talked about that just now. So these are the 22 actions that I actually spend my working days on What about you you should start to write down if you have never done time Tracking or time logging. I highly recommend it. I do it every year for about two weeks In fact, I'm just about starting to do that now Uh start of a new year um I recommend you you log every 15 minutes of your waking hours From the time you wake up to the time you you lights out to go to bed Log every 15 minutes do that for at least three days I'm talking about regular working days not with your on vacation. You don't have to log your time But just like you're wondering what do I release? Yeah, George has this list of what do I really spend my time doing? Do you are you clear about that?  And it could be like, oh, I just spent 45 minutes surfing facebook for no good reason or not any Perfect right that down. There's no judgment. There's no blame. All you're looking at is your patterns go, huh? And just go don't judge yourself. Don't blame yourself. Okay There's never never never a need for blame or judgment There is only a need for curiosity Look back. Huh, isn't it interesting that I just spent an hour I just spent half an hour watching george's video, but not implementing Okay, well, that's interesting. Well, what can I do differently? Okay? We're gonna oh, okay. If I ever watched george's half an hour video I should spend another 15 minutes at least doing something different Like scheduling something or or or implementing something in some way. Don't just let it pass right So time logging do it for at least three working days and tell me what you discover fighting Okay, let's talk about let's end this video with the questionable to drop list. Do you have a to drop list? let me get you started with With with what you might want to drop from your list one changing your website You don't need to change your website honestly you you Nobody really cares about your website except for you Not really honestly. Um, I haven't changed my website in years It's still the same. I know you go to my website. It's so boring. It's the same thing for years and years and years So changing your website whether big changers or small changes should be really be questioned like no, I don't do that I I almost never unless I really there's a compelling reason like oh, I'm giving I'm giving out wrong information my price is wrong or I no longer offer that service or Oh, my course description has to be updated because people are buying the wrong thing Yeah, of course you change your website then it's a it's a real important urgent reason But otherwise, oh, I have a new describe the new way how I describe myself. Well Don't change it yet Go with your new way For another month or two See if it really sticks before you make changes, but it's really like these kinds of changes Nobody will notice it except for you You know and people who really want to work with you don't really care that you describe yourself better in a little bit better of a way Honestly as a marketer cannot how can I say this? I am saying this People who want to work with you They don't care that much how your website looks or Reads or whatever they really don't they they're going to look past all that and and look to the Whatever you've already created is fine is what I'm saying. Okay Honestly, if you really have a question about it comment below I might not have time to look at it, but if I do I'll let you I mean Actually, I should I should say I don't want to start going into free website consultations here, but It's probably okay It's probably okay. Your website is probably fine.   Oh my website's not quite ready yet No, your website's fine. No, whatever you have just put it out there Okay, people who will want to work with you or look past everything They will climb over mountains to work with you no matter how bad your website is no matter how bad your social media is They will climb over mountains to work with you Those are your ideal clients You need more visibility. You don't need a better website. Okay, so number one number two To drop is working on any future product service course or book Without having announced it first Because again, you're in the pattern of preparing forever, which is the biggest pitfall to time suckers for entrepreneurs If you are making lots of money if you're making a full-time income if you're supporting your family thriving Okay, fine. You can work on things without a deadline You can work on things without having announced it because you already you already made it you already there But if you're struggling if you don't have enough clients if you would like more clients or more sales It's probably because you're not working on deadlines. It's probably because you you keep preparing planning That's why money's not coming in Because people aren't seeing your stuff and they're not seeing it often enough You're not repeating your offers often enough for people to go. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what she does Right people don't don't think about what you do until you say it often enough okay, so um Be really really careful about working on anything until you've announced it publicly You have a deadline you have an accountability with the public that you better put that thing out Okay Now relationship with deadlines is another entirely different psychological matter I've written a post about that in the past repair your relationship with deadlines. I love deadlines now They are a blessing. You should not look at deadlines as a as a dread. Oh my god.  Do you ever wonder why we are given a big deadline in this life? It's called death Right. Why why are we giving a deadline? Why are we why of all possible universes? Do we not have an internal life in this third dimensional body of ours that There's a deadline. Well, there's a lesson there. Oh even god gave us a deadline So what does that tell us about deadlines? Should we fear death? Should we dread? Should we be so afraid that it paralyzes us? No, we should learn to love death.  Right. It's like these little deadlines create urgency create a blessed urgency I see deadlines as just beautiful wonderful For example deadlines, I should end this video now going on too long If I didn't have a deadline for my video service should be about half an hour or no more Otherwise, I'm wasting your time. Okay, then I'll be talking on for two three hours And that's waste your time as well as mine, right? Okay, so, um What reading articles and books unless you're implementing? I've already talked about a lot of this stuff Getting training unless you're also implementing Getting another certification because it might help your marketing drop all those things drop all those things I'm going to let you read the article later But uh, essentially, you know focus on the truly productive list And I encourage you so Encourage you to make your own list. What is a truly productive it George has named as 22 truly productive actions So what are my 20 truly productive actions? And George has in the article, you'll see my 11 to drop actions things to drop What are your 10 or 20 things to drop? Okay, the the core is you should always be invaluable Be in valuable interaction With your ideal audience if you're not doing that you should be questioning. What are you doing with your time? If you're preparing planning you should always have announced something to your audience first Or you have a lovely blessed deadline to work towards So that you're not just preparing planning forever, right? Okay, so I hope this is helpful For you and um, thanks for those who are joining me here for the live video of Mona Sharon Ross Diane Carissa Roy Ludovic Jayce, uh, Joanna Stacy, thank you all for joining me and um Yeah, Joanna says I need to create a publishing schedule for my next book or it never gets done Yeah, and it might get done in like two to five years or something like that But but you could have created something much shorter time and up leveled your skills Much faster with with with a blessed deadline, right? Yeah, so let's see here. Yeah, Chris says, you know, I yeah, I'm guilty of continuing to tweak my website All of us are it's so easy, right for all of us to go Yeah, let me make another website change. Yeah, but we're really just changing it for ourselves. Nobody else really cares Right, so the people who want to work with you who want to buy your stuff will climb over mountains and do it You don't have to convince the people who are like this That is one of the biggest, uh Changes to authentic marketing conventional marketing tries to get you to persuade and convince everybody Which is exhausting and it doesn't even really work that well Authentic marketing is to be yourself and to serve and and and bless Frequently prolifically on a deadline on the blessed deadline and then you'll find that people will climb over mountains to work with you That's how it works, right? That's how it works so, um Thank thank you. Chris. This is hey, can I get on the waiting list for the group group for 2020? Thanks. Thanks for asking Um, be sure to you know, I'll I'll maybe I'll write your I'll write your name down on my on my waiting list So I'll contact you.
