Check Out My Failures

Recently I made a decision to start using video to get my message out to a few more people…

I have absolutely no experience or knowledge about creating video content and publishing it…

What a huge failure….

⁃ The first videos really suck…

⁃ I’m not looking directly into the camera…

⁃ I’m talking too fast, probably nerves…

⁃ My face is tense…

⁃ I keep tripping on my own words…

⁃ I find it hard to put thoughts together looking at the camera…

⁃ I look funny…

It’s an absolute failure and I feel embarrassed to show the videos to anyone and it’s hard for me to watch them…

Then I noticed something…

With practice and the more videos I recorded the better they started to look…

The more practice I got shooting and publishing my videos the more I learned…

The more practice I got shooting the videos the easier it became and the more I enjoyed it…

They are not perfect YET, and I continue to shoot daily videos…

Everyday I’m learning so much about creating, shooting, preparing and marketing my videos…

Understand this…

My purpose for doing videos is:

⁃ Share my message…

⁃ Learn to express myself on video…

⁃ Create good content…

My metric is not about getting LIKES, followers or what people think about my videos…

I know in time this will all take care of itself…

Listen up…

Taking action on anything we have no experience, been persistent, taking daily action steps, setting up the correct measuring metrics will give us the confidence to “have a go”, as the Aussies would say, and have a more enjoyable life experience while learning some very valuable skills…

Here’s the deal…

Take action NOW on learning one new skill that you can become a master or genius over the next few weeks, months and years…

Look out for my videos in a years time…

Love
