💪 Keep Your Head DOWN—And STICK To Your PLAN
This past week was tough. Various events kept knocking me off track. I made promises to clients, I had to deliver a new course to my community, and I have 2 YouTube videos to record. And I have to be a good dad and husband to my family. And its ALL important: I need happy clients, happy community members and more YouTube videos to grow my business. And why are we doing all this if we can't be present with our family? That means I have very little time for mistakes, or distractions. But things kept going wrong none the less. - An upset client called my product "ridiculous" - While recording videos for my community I kept making mistakes - I had to re-record hours worth of videos - I realized TWO of the videos used the wrong mic (they sounded terrible) - I was days behind and I still hadn't even started my YouTube videos With a growing TODO list, and less time to do it, there were moments where it was hard to do ANYTHING. I was frozen. All I could imagine was all the people I was about to upset, or let down. These are the times where you have to calm down, regroup, put your head down, and stick to your plan. For me the best method is simple. A quick drive to a local Airport where I can watch a few planes take off and land. AND a good old fashion note book to map out next steps. I mapped out all the things I still needed to get done, in order, so I could focus. One at a time, instead of them all flashing before my eyes all at once. I mapped out what I could do for my upset client, and presented the next steps to resolve the issue. I mapped out what was going wrong with my videos, and how I could use that to produce better videos. I found an AI tool to help me fix the audio issues from recording on the wrong mic. I decided on the 2 YouTube videos I'd record. And then I drove back home and attacked each item one by one. As I sit here right now, I launched the course (on time) and have only 1 more YouTube video to record. I sent the first YT video to my editor an hour or so ago.

Sorry to hear such a rough week for you Stephen but massive respect for all the effort and sacrifice to stay on track. You and your team are top drawer and we all appreciate the level of integrity and professionalism you apply to all your projects in here 🙏💥🔥
$54,841/month Community ➕ 999x Your YouTube Channel?
One important lesson I learned in the Skool games was that consistent growth requires a consistent high quality traffic source. If you're trying to win the games your growth has to be consistent day after day. And you only have 30 days to lock in your win, so focus is a must. The games force you to think about those daily tasks that can drive traffic to your community. For me, there was really only one lever I could pull to make that happen, YouTube. It's the only platform where when I put in more time on the video I know I get better results. My channel was growing before the Games, but everything changed for the better when I changed my YouTube strategy. And it's simple. - Make the best video on YouTube about that topic - Make a video ONLY you could think up and execute - Give away every detail and step (don't hide anything) I started spending 2-3 days on each video, instead of a few hours and my channel has grown 999x compared to the year before. I also personally make each YouTube thumbnail 1-2 hours. It changed everything for my channel, and frankly my business, and helped me get to #12 on the all time leaderboard for the Skool games. I don't do any channel research, keyword research, competitor analysis, none of it. I'm not saying that stuff doesn't work, I don't really know. But I do know what has been working for me. I just try and make the best video on YouTube. Take a look at the YouTube graph below. The first big spike is when Hormozi announced he was investing in Skool (this made all my existing Skool YT videos blow up!). The next big spike happened June 1st when I entered the Skool games and decided to give everything away on YouTube. I tell you this now because you could wait 1-2 years to do this like I did, or you can start right now and get there a WHOLE LOT FASTER. You don't need a YouTube strategist, you don't need "consistency", you just need to put in the energy to make a great video without fear that no one will hire you (they will).

@Stephen G. Pope's vison, strategic approach ('Giving away the farm') , professionalism and the quality of his tutorials make this community very rich indeed, I am very grateful for it at my stage of automation learning. So the success, progress and accolades are for Stephen and his team are hugely deserved, and may the growing, sowing and reaping continue.

@Stephen G. Pope Hi. Thanks for this great video which I set out to build today. I do need some clarity / guidance please as it's not clear what you are doing at the 45 min mark. You have some HTTP code and then you move onto Javascript and Curl. But I get lost as I can't follow what you are doing. I copied the HTTP and inserted my Make.com webhook url. I wasn't clear if I needed to add anything else to your code. Please clarify. Secondly, and less clear was what you were copying and pasting from other tabs. It was a bit too quick. Do you have some code snippets for Javascript and Curl that you paste into those small code boxes ? If so can you share these please as it's not possible to extract what you have simply from the video? So at the moment I only have what is already in the default 2 and 3 code blocks - so no Java or Curl code that matches yours.

@Stephen G. Pope Thank you. I was able to copy your HTML and and pasted that into Claude to provide the equivalent code for Javascript and Curl. I'm not especially familiar with postman so was wondering if you believe /expect Claude would be accurate in returning the equivalent? Here's my url fyi: https://www.absai-transcribe-saas.softr.app And so I fully understand the user experience, this 'saas service' is probably suited for more of a tech savy user who would have their own code terminal and know to copy their api and and get a public url and drop that into the code? In the single HTTP module we tested with API's, how should it be left for 'customers' so the automation works? Is it not left hard coded with the copied api in there ? One final question, sorry Stephen (how's Vegas been btw?) is whether you had experience of trying to transcribe especially large files? I found it failed with over 100MB and even with 57MB . Might be just my set up but I couldn't figure how to adjust Cloud convert to convert at a lower bitrate other than just entering 20 in the field.
🚀⏳️ GO FAST & Take Your Time (and have some fun)
Make no mistake winning in business requires speed. You need to execute high value activities in your business on the daily. That includes: - Marketing / content - Customer success - Team building But remember these things will take time and you'll need to patiently execute these activities everyday to achieve success and build something great. A good vision is BIG on purpose because it takes time and keeps you pointed towards your north star during the turbulence of the day to day. And remember have some fun and a few laughs along the way 🤣 Take a second and isolate the items you need to quickly execute on this coming week and how that plays into you mission. Drop your plan into the comments 👇

OK @Yoav Sagy and @Stephen G. Pope here's an update incase anyone else has a similar issue. Unfortunately deleting the story and re running didn't fix the issue. However as the error suggested the 'Final Image Prompt' was not acceptable by midjourney and the link to MJ detailed that the cref should be at the 'front' of the prompt notthe end. I asked Claude to re-write the formula to replace what was originally provided in the video at 6mins25 approx. This is what Claude gave me: IF(CREF, CREF&" ", "") & {Image Prompt} I am very happy to say that it worked so for anyone else who experiences this issue I hope this helps. Oh btw another earlier error I made was selecting the wrong link from the image hosting site. The link must end in .jpg or .png .gif .webp and so on.

Delighted to say I got this completed. Thank you @Stephen G. Pope and @Yoav Sagy . Here's my draft b-roll sample for faceless news on the upcoming Paris Olympics. https://www.loom.com/share/f1168bcb5f9744cb83dfee50aa53229b?sid=77500103-5ca4-4242-ac0b-79e0ded97994
