There are not many people I would have wanted to be the first in-person guest, but @Jamie Barclay is certainly one of them After 2 months working in Romania, we recorded a podcast in Bucharest covering some of the things we had learnt and some other fun stories too (including a bear encounter at night time lol). We actually first met in this group (or maybe it was Andrew's YouTube comment section) and now we're great friends. Thanks to Andrew for making this group; and for everyone else, make the most of this group, because it can be more valuable than you realise I think there is some good stuff in this podcast for beginners about YouTube & business We'll do some more posts about our learnings from this trip All platforms: https://lnkfi.re/sheasbyjamiebarclay2

All successful creators do this one thing, and no credibility tactic or thumbnail design will save you from this mistake. I recently went into deep research mode after nobody was booking discovery calls with me for my high-ticket coaching. I dove deep into all the tactics: - Ideas - Titles - Avatar - Thumbnails - Offer creation - Credibility hacking - Funnels & Automation Clearly, these things work. 🤬 But they weren't working for me.🤬 And I've discovered why. The people who execute these and have had great success (Andrew Kirby, Hamza, Dan Koe, etc) all share one key trait. They ARE the person people want to be. They KNOW the stuff they're sharing works. They have CONVICTION when they're sharing it. They KNOW in their BONES that what they're sharing will change lives. And they BELIEVE it's their duty to share what they've learnt with others. Because it changed theirs. THEY are the offer. THEY are the foundation that the META rests upon. And so when they show up on camera, people listen, because they present themselves in a way that commands authority. THEY can't be ignored. Because something deep within you can SENSE these people are genuine in what they're sharing. And you want a taste of what they have. @Andrew Kirby touched on this, when he said you can make money online by being yourself, BUT you MUST be the BEST version of yourself. So if you're struggling (Like I am), it's time to take a look at yourself. What are you doing/thinking/believing/consuming that's holding you back from the person you know the world needs you to show up as? What's the mission, true to you're heart, that you're willing to dedicate yourself to? Are you showing up as the LEADER people need you to be? Remember, if you're the business, that's where you need to dedicate the work. BE the transformation you're inviting people into. And everything else will build on top of that.

Hey, check out this vid by HillierSmith where he breaks down a Mr. Beast video! You can learn tons about storytelling techniques. (Just ignore some silly nitpicking at the start), You'll pick up some cool storytelling techniques from this - Roasting MrBeast's Editing For 1 Hour Straight. (youtube.com)

Long story short I left my country to become a volunteer in France(where I live totally free) instead of uni. I knew if I would Ieave home I would start acting and build my channel and my personal brand.(And eventually launch my paid Skool community.) Not even 2 months since I’m here and I got my VERY FIRST 100 SUBS!! This is my first milestone on this journey torwards freedom! If I could do it, literally anybody can… Let’s gooo!

Today I had my first group call with my community and a whole 2 people showed up. And no I am not disappointed because I had an amazing 1.5h talk and got to know who is interested in my content on a much deeper level. And I realized: "damn, the people in my community are actually like me, I love them." ACTIONABLE ADVICE: I got this strategy from Tim Ferriss. Instead of wasting people's time at meetings, allow them to do what they are here for. Talk about themselves. Get value from others. So the introduction I ask from them is to share: -Who are you, Where are you, What do you do -Shamelessly brag about one thing -Openly ask for something specific you need help with I am more than excited to do this every single week and to make the rest of the community so jealous of the good time we're having that they can't help but want to join the next time.
