So it's been doing answering questions and continuing

00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.679
to answer questions that will be a thing for

00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.920
a little while here just to give insight to those

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:49.119
who haven't been around. It's been a lot of studio

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:56.420
commitment going on here for those who are Own

00:00:56.420 --> 00:00:59.460
the track of studio who already in the track

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:03.399
of studio any whoever's needing this this is

00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.579
what this is about a lot of things that we talked

00:01:05.579 --> 00:01:09.019
about have covered from everything from recording

00:01:09.019 --> 00:01:14.079
yourself to Going to studios, you know in the

00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.959
talking independent studio talk different types

00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:23.540
of ways to Get the music out Good handfuls of

00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:29.549
stuff One thing I did not bring up, and this

00:01:29.549 --> 00:01:31.409
part could have actually went along with budget,

00:01:31.450 --> 00:01:33.409
but in a sense, it really doesn't go with budget,

00:01:33.849 --> 00:01:40.489
because the question did come up, the money aspect.

00:01:41.030 --> 00:01:49.189
This is something that I'm asking for you to

00:01:49.189 --> 00:01:52.230
believe in, and that's yourself, firstly. Let's

00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:56.069
start there. Think this young man was probably

00:01:56.069 --> 00:02:00.030
13 years old to ask the question, you know When

00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:03.909
he gets to the point where you know, he's You

00:02:03.909 --> 00:02:07.370
know graduate graduating. He's in a field of

00:02:07.370 --> 00:02:10.789
what he wants to do musically I think he said

00:02:10.789 --> 00:02:13.289
it might could have been she think they were

00:02:13.289 --> 00:02:15.509
saying basically asking the question, you know,

00:02:15.610 --> 00:02:21.030
like how should I Set my prices I think she was

00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:22.530
saying like a music therapist something to that

00:02:22.530 --> 00:02:25.370
nature basically deal with You know, you might

00:02:25.370 --> 00:02:31.189
go to the links of, she may be a guitarist, a

00:02:31.189 --> 00:02:35.409
singer, and she goes to, you know, like, I want

00:02:35.409 --> 00:02:41.289
to say nursing homes, maybe hospice, maybe those

00:02:41.289 --> 00:02:43.590
type of situations, somebody who has cancer,

00:02:44.069 --> 00:02:47.349
you know, she may play the guitar, sing to them,

00:02:47.349 --> 00:02:49.289
you know, during those moments, you know, while

00:02:49.289 --> 00:02:51.330
they're there. I'm thinking that's kind of like

00:02:51.330 --> 00:02:54.099
what the nature of what it is that they do. but

00:02:54.099 --> 00:02:58.219
they ask the question, how should I set my prices?

00:02:59.900 --> 00:03:01.979
One of the things I've looked at, especially

00:03:01.979 --> 00:03:08.080
when it comes to the nature of what you do, you

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.000
have to be fair in the sense of your beginning.

00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.280
What is your, there's a lot of music therapists,

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:21.919
but what is your bottom? What does it look like?

00:03:22.219 --> 00:03:26.180
what makes your therapy different from the next?

00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:33.419
Or more so, how do you pick that between you

00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:35.560
and somebody that's been doing this for 15, 20

00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.939
years? The person that's been doing this for

00:03:37.939 --> 00:03:41.919
20 years could probably, y 'all may have the

00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:48.280
same skills, but the nature of the experience,

00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.240
and I'm not even saying the experience, I'm saying

00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.370
longevity. the experience in knowing how to communicate

00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:58.770
with different clients and different people and

00:03:58.770 --> 00:04:01.729
different needs. That would be one of the biggest

00:04:01.729 --> 00:04:05.569
things you would have to think of immediately,

00:04:05.949 --> 00:04:10.430
like your portfolio. What does your portfolio

00:04:10.430 --> 00:04:16.170
bring in a sense where is it needed? What's needed

00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:19.529
from a person? It could be something simple.

00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:23.879
The thing is, is remaining in a space to understand

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.360
that your price could be negotiable, especially

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:34.920
starting off. You have to gather yourself as

00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.579
something, as a being in the music situation

00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:42.600
or yours is music therapy. You have to think

00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.360
a little differently. You have to set yourself

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:53.459
in a different mindset to others. So I'm ask

00:04:53.459 --> 00:04:55.819
you do you did you kind of get what I was basically?

00:04:56.579 --> 00:04:59.860
You know answering or asking the question. This

00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:02.459
is a question that was asked basically asking

00:05:02.459 --> 00:05:05.980
to whether How should they set their prices because

00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:08.600
they want to be a music therapist? And basically

00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.319
the being a music therapy date It's a bunch of

00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:12.899
different type of music therapists, but I think

00:05:12.899 --> 00:05:15.639
the nature of what they're going for is They'll

00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.120
probably be like one of the ones that go into

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.490
like, you know Those people that's in the time

00:05:19.490 --> 00:05:22.930
of need, you know, you know, cancer could be

00:05:22.930 --> 00:05:25.889
something terminal, you know, they they're, you

00:05:25.889 --> 00:05:28.149
know, about to die, those type of situations.

00:05:28.370 --> 00:05:31.009
And it was asking, like, what, you know, how

00:05:31.009 --> 00:05:34.750
should I set my prices when I graduate? You know?

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.879
Okay, you know what's that's the type of question

00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.420
it is. So what yeah, I gave my insight on it

00:05:40.420 --> 00:05:43.180
slightly What do you feel just it isn't perfect.

00:05:43.220 --> 00:05:46.560
Just give your advice. Yeah Well, well and that

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.860
particular situation to the young lady asked

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:52.259
that question. That's a great question the field

00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:57.860
that you're in um plays a factor and the pricing

00:05:57.860 --> 00:06:04.459
I would say like you may also, you may get more

00:06:04.459 --> 00:06:09.139
customers than the average music artist is just

00:06:09.139 --> 00:06:12.839
aiming to go on tour, for example, I just be

00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.439
mainstream. It's more money or more clients in

00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:21.600
the field that you're in. So I would not try

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.980
to hit them over the head with prices. What I

00:06:24.980 --> 00:06:27.379
would do if I was you, I would try to make a

00:06:27.379 --> 00:06:32.040
fair price for you firstly and for the people

00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.600
that you're doing this therapy with. Because

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.279
the thing that you should be thinking about is

00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.519
quantity. Like, you know, you can get a rack

00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.680
up a lot of customers also providing great quality

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.199
that may want you to just keep coming back, coming

00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.379
back. So you're making a lot of your income based

00:06:51.379 --> 00:06:55.279
off probably the same customers based off, you

00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.399
know what I'm saying? Because you got to think

00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.199
that's more of a vulnerable situation. Like people

00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:03.360
needing that help in that situation that you

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:08.600
will be given. So. As an artist, if I was you,

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.920
I would think, you know, like try to be reasonable

00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.339
with the money, look out for yourself and also

00:07:15.339 --> 00:07:18.240
them and think of the bigger picture like, OK,

00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.439
I just want to get as many customers in this

00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.500
as I can. As long as you got the customers, you're

00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:26.879
going to say you're going to stay paid. You know

00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.199
what I'm saying? So I wouldn't really think high

00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.459
money with that situation. You know what I'm

00:07:31.459 --> 00:07:34.420
saying? In your situation, I would think quantity.

00:07:34.699 --> 00:07:36.839
I would think just trying to get the customers

00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.980
as much customers as you could with a reasonable

00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:42.420
price. You know what I'm saying? And provide

00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:45.620
great quality and you'll be taken care of. That's

00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:53.459
my opinion on it. So. Next thing in the same

00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:56.060
sense is this is this is the part where I was

00:07:56.189 --> 00:08:00.829
Speaking of originally in the nature of the budget

00:08:00.829 --> 00:08:06.730
of a of a situation and how important we talked

00:08:06.730 --> 00:08:10.129
about things of budget being a mental aspect

00:08:10.129 --> 00:08:12.569
so there's another piece of the budget that is

00:08:12.569 --> 00:08:16.069
a piece of the mental aspect that you have to

00:08:16.069 --> 00:08:20.170
figure on your own and this is not a question

00:08:20.170 --> 00:08:25.300
that I would like to even answer because of Let

00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:30.360
me explain the case of when I was speaking on

00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:34.519
When you spend money on studio time you spend

00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:39.379
money on a studio or however the case it be you're

00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:42.399
Wrapping yourself into that budget situation

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.399
Now if you're the type of person that doesn't

00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.320
want to record yourself, you don't have to record

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:53.019
yourself Just understand it When you go to a

00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:55.960
studio you might want to find a studio that is

00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.440
Advanced and understands the knowledge of what

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.919
it takes to get a song You know finished, you

00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.059
know completely polished, you know put together,

00:09:06.059 --> 00:09:09.929
you know, I've seen a lot of people along my

00:09:09.929 --> 00:09:13.029
years of coming up in the studio thing, you know,

00:09:13.029 --> 00:09:15.190
they, I don't want to say like they're called

00:09:15.190 --> 00:09:19.389
shade tree producers or shade tree recording

00:09:19.389 --> 00:09:21.610
engineers, but that's what you kind of ran into

00:09:21.610 --> 00:09:26.230
sometimes. And they could understand how to record,

00:09:26.230 --> 00:09:28.870
you know, but they might not understand the whole

00:09:28.870 --> 00:09:31.970
process of making the complete polished sound.

00:09:32.730 --> 00:09:38.120
So this is something that I wanna not say that

00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.580
I wouldn't encourage it, I would encourage it,

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.220
but let me tell you what I would do. For the

00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:45.419
case of understanding it, go back and look at

00:09:45.419 --> 00:09:48.399
some of the videos that, especially the last

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:54.120
episode, really more so containing the file preparation

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.259
files and things of that nature that are needed

00:09:57.259 --> 00:10:01.269
from a recording session. that would be very

00:10:01.269 --> 00:10:04.370
important to have because of the nature of what

00:10:04.370 --> 00:10:06.590
you need. Now let's start with the situation

00:10:06.590 --> 00:10:09.070
of what I was saying, the budget and how you

00:10:09.070 --> 00:10:13.450
implement the money into this. Now, this is the

00:10:13.450 --> 00:10:18.250
thing where it's a risk for some. Cause some

00:10:18.250 --> 00:10:20.350
are thinking about this as a risk, bro. And I'm

00:10:20.350 --> 00:10:23.809
just starting at you. Some look at this as, you

00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:29.769
know, well, I don't wanna spend it to You know,

00:10:29.769 --> 00:10:32.289
a recording session. Well, I don't want to spend

00:10:32.289 --> 00:10:35.350
it on anything to do with a mixing session. Well,

00:10:35.350 --> 00:10:38.690
I don't want to buy any beats or anything like

00:10:38.690 --> 00:10:42.409
that because, you know, I just don't know. Now,

00:10:42.610 --> 00:10:45.710
for me, I'ma say this. If you feel like you just

00:10:45.710 --> 00:10:50.629
don't know, this isn't the avenue for that type

00:10:50.629 --> 00:10:54.970
of mentality. If it was really a thing of risk

00:10:54.970 --> 00:11:00.720
or Risky or risking a situation to get somewhere.

00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:05.720
This is what this is what it's about like Yeah

00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:10.820
So, okay, I'll give a situation like me. Oh my

00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:15.139
okay, um You know independently doing this independently

00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:19.700
as we stated before You know single man working

00:11:19.700 --> 00:11:21.919
and you know a lot of responsibilities and so

00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.240
like that like everybody. Okay, I got a website

00:11:26.419 --> 00:11:30.399
that manages the products that I've created over

00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.759
the years. Because there's a lot of artists,

00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.740
and this is a question, it's kind of a statement

00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:39.799
and a question. So as an artist, I have built

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.120
this portfolio for over years. You know what

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.899
I'm saying? Hard work, earned money, all that.

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.929
And as an artist, my goal is to... nurture and

00:11:52.929 --> 00:11:55.649
cherish and take care of the things that I already

00:11:55.649 --> 00:12:00.629
have and keep that relevant today. Via website,

00:12:00.970 --> 00:12:05.169
that's one example. Website, I came out around

00:12:05.169 --> 00:12:08.470
$300 something dollars for a website, you know

00:12:08.470 --> 00:12:10.549
what I'm saying? My annual subscription that

00:12:10.549 --> 00:12:13.990
came up last month, I believe, or this month.

00:12:15.610 --> 00:12:20.669
So it's like, that money, And I was going, I'm

00:12:20.669 --> 00:12:24.049
going to get in detail. That money was actually

00:12:24.049 --> 00:12:29.769
for a recording session. Yeah, it was going into

00:12:29.769 --> 00:12:34.210
some situation that I had musically. So what

00:12:34.210 --> 00:12:38.370
would you say to an artist? Because it might

00:12:38.370 --> 00:12:41.509
be an artist out there that has a lot going,

00:12:41.970 --> 00:12:44.389
but a lot of people look at him as lazy or her

00:12:44.389 --> 00:12:47.169
as lazy as. They don't put that money on that

00:12:47.169 --> 00:12:49.610
recording studio or their recording session or

00:12:49.610 --> 00:12:53.509
that beat, but not knowing what they have that

00:12:53.509 --> 00:12:56.110
they're producing and put money into their craft

00:12:56.110 --> 00:13:00.649
daily or monthly or yearly. You feel me? Like,

00:13:00.909 --> 00:13:03.149
I think they don't people don't see that part.

00:13:03.570 --> 00:13:07.450
And I like, you know, some producers are just

00:13:07.450 --> 00:13:10.509
some people in the music. You know what I'm saying?

00:13:10.990 --> 00:13:14.230
Like, do you think they understand that part?

00:13:14.509 --> 00:13:19.149
especially as a solo artist and knowing, you

00:13:19.149 --> 00:13:22.370
know, the trials of just living life and then

00:13:22.370 --> 00:13:24.830
trying to manage all they have independently.

00:13:25.230 --> 00:13:27.929
Plus, going into the studio, don't you think,

00:13:28.029 --> 00:13:30.850
do you think music people could have some grace

00:13:30.850 --> 00:13:34.330
for these artists? And what's the tips of somebody

00:13:34.330 --> 00:13:38.029
put in that situation like mine? Like, what would

00:13:38.029 --> 00:13:46.809
your advice be for that? I just go from a situation

00:13:46.809 --> 00:13:52.629
like this. I give it in a personal way. So. If

00:13:52.629 --> 00:13:54.990
I'm the artist, right, and this is something

00:13:54.990 --> 00:13:57.549
that this is not even this is speaking from an

00:13:57.549 --> 00:13:59.889
inexperienced artist mentality, I'm not going

00:13:59.889 --> 00:14:02.009
to speak from like how I feel right now. I'm

00:14:02.009 --> 00:14:04.129
going to speak from. Right. Let me I go back

00:14:04.129 --> 00:14:06.889
to like when I was in my early situation, the

00:14:06.889 --> 00:14:15.169
music. Right. So. One thing I figured. then was

00:14:15.169 --> 00:14:21.009
this craft can do two things to you. And one

00:14:21.009 --> 00:14:24.789
of the one of the hardest things in this craft

00:14:24.789 --> 00:14:32.250
is the part where you you're being able to dedicate

00:14:32.250 --> 00:14:37.889
your time to it. And I'm going to give you a

00:14:37.889 --> 00:14:42.470
good hard example of who I know taught me this.

00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:51.139
So, you know, nobody has the ability to see the

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:53.779
future. Let's just say that firstly. Nobody has

00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:57.100
the ability to see the future. And not being

00:14:57.100 --> 00:15:00.820
able to see the future causes this feeling inside

00:15:00.820 --> 00:15:03.799
of you. It creates like this fence, in a sense,

00:15:04.500 --> 00:15:09.299
that blocks, you know, the common day every day,

00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.980
how you say like every day. The everyday lifestyle

00:15:12.980 --> 00:15:21.179
can run a race on your mentality. Because the

00:15:21.179 --> 00:15:24.440
case of you were tuned in to that. It's not your

00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.240
fault, in a sense. It's just that that's your

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.039
mentality. That's your hustle. It becomes your

00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.460
grind. That's your reality also, like the day

00:15:31.460 --> 00:15:34.519
to day. You feel me? That's the grind. Simply

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.840
put, that's the grind. You got to go to work.

00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.820
You go do these things. You know, you have to

00:15:40.820 --> 00:15:43.500
those things. Manageably, like we were talking

00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:46.440
about a few episodes ago, manageably have to

00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.259
be done. You have to do that part. Like you said,

00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.559
get a job content creators. Right. Right. So

00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.659
here's here's the part, though. Here's the part

00:15:54.659 --> 00:15:59.860
where it can it can change things sometimes to

00:15:59.860 --> 00:16:03.480
me. And this is this is something that isn't

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.740
saying that it's just you should do this, because

00:16:06.740 --> 00:16:10.419
this is like what I was saying episode before

00:16:10.419 --> 00:16:16.399
last night. Sometimes a record deal may be the

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.299
thing for you. And I'm going to speak openly.

00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:22.620
I'm going to speak openly. I'm going to be honest

00:16:22.620 --> 00:16:25.200
with you. So like I was getting ready to say

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.720
on the part of like for me, if I was inexperienced,

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:35.340
right? Yeah, there's a risk part to being an

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:41.139
artist. Sometimes you have the hunger to be the

00:16:41.139 --> 00:16:44.480
artist, but you don't have the risk. Meaning

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.919
the risk, meaning fundably. You know, the funds

00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:54.519
that are behind music and the industry aren't

00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:58.799
hitting for nobody. You're talking about billions,

00:16:59.100 --> 00:17:02.759
trillions of dollars. That's what's behind music.

00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:05.619
Billions and trillions. So let me explain. The

00:17:05.619 --> 00:17:08.299
reason why there's billions and trillions is

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:12.119
due to the nature of the movement of what music

00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:16.259
needs. Music cannot move unless there is money

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:21.599
behind it. There's no way to go around that part.

00:17:21.660 --> 00:17:24.200
Now, that's the part what I mean by risk. If

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:31.019
you can't risk your daily life or your time and

00:17:31.019 --> 00:17:36.990
your energy to be able to dedicate that part,

00:17:37.309 --> 00:17:42.589
that money, that time, that effort to the music

00:17:42.589 --> 00:17:45.869
like it should be. Sometimes like you, like we

00:17:45.869 --> 00:17:47.329
were talking about. Okay, so what would you,

00:17:47.329 --> 00:17:50.329
my situation, if I put it on a website that's

00:17:50.329 --> 00:17:53.730
dedicated to my music and my movie and what I

00:17:53.730 --> 00:17:57.190
got, the podcast, like what if somebody's doing

00:17:57.190 --> 00:18:00.210
it in that way, but they're not touching on,

00:18:00.269 --> 00:18:03.180
okay, they might not be Doing a lot of songs

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:05.119
or they might not be in the studio a lot But

00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.359
they're their objection is to maintain also what

00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.359
they have and which is the part in it, which

00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.720
Now see that part is where that's why I said

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.099
the risk Start to need to start coming in. So

00:18:18.099 --> 00:18:22.279
like for me This is the this is the one thing

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.119
I see that's making the killing right now people

00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.160
learning how to use they Learn how to utilize

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:35.430
their phones Utilizing you that's the first start

00:18:35.430 --> 00:18:38.970
where you can get a long way So I give you example

00:18:38.970 --> 00:18:43.190
for me if I have songs that I already have out

00:18:43.190 --> 00:18:45.930
You know, and this is this is something that

00:18:45.930 --> 00:18:49.089
I've done numerous of times even when just putting

00:18:49.089 --> 00:18:54.970
out beats So if I feel like this beat If I feel

00:18:54.970 --> 00:18:57.509
like okay, I really like this beat. Okay, I promoted

00:18:57.509 --> 00:19:01.009
it once two years ago That's when I first put

00:19:01.009 --> 00:19:05.869
it out right so okay. Well Maybe I don't feel

00:19:05.869 --> 00:19:09.029
like I promoted it to his fullest extent the

00:19:09.029 --> 00:19:13.109
last time so I do a whole nother promo video

00:19:13.109 --> 00:19:16.430
I create another video create another slide some

00:19:16.430 --> 00:19:18.970
other slides some other another situation, and

00:19:18.970 --> 00:19:21.490
this is like I'm just speaking from an inexperienced

00:19:21.490 --> 00:19:24.230
mindset now for me if I'm feeling like I was

00:19:24.230 --> 00:19:27.150
being when I was in like 2002 I was about taking

00:19:27.150 --> 00:19:30.400
a lot of risk at understanding how to do things

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:35.319
on my own. OK, so. Learning how to do things

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:37.240
on your own is going to come with a mess now.

00:19:37.339 --> 00:19:39.960
It's not going to look good. It's not going to

00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:43.619
be pretty. It's not going to be, you know, like

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:46.859
what you might be used to seeing that's circulating

00:19:46.859 --> 00:19:51.220
around. It may not be that right away. But if

00:19:51.220 --> 00:19:54.640
you have that vision in your mind and this is

00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.299
not. And I'm speaking, like I said, in experience,

00:19:57.299 --> 00:19:59.349
because I didn't know anything. I'm just being

00:19:59.349 --> 00:20:02.410
honest, I didn't, only thing I knew is I had

00:20:02.410 --> 00:20:04.089
a dream and I'm gonna tell you the person. The

00:20:04.089 --> 00:20:07.670
person that changed my mentality was my cousin

00:20:07.670 --> 00:20:09.670
Reno. I don't know, I think I said this one time

00:20:09.670 --> 00:20:12.869
before, my cousin Adrian Johnson, literally across

00:20:12.869 --> 00:20:14.890
the street from my mom and dad, the house that's

00:20:14.890 --> 00:20:17.230
basically right in front of my mom and dad house.

00:20:17.609 --> 00:20:18.589
That's where my cousin stays. I think I met him

00:20:18.589 --> 00:20:21.049
before, during the recording session we had.

00:20:21.190 --> 00:20:28.369
Yeah, yeah. Now, this dude. If I had such a hunger

00:20:28.369 --> 00:20:31.190
I like man cuz I saw him making beats all the

00:20:31.190 --> 00:20:33.650
time like these different programs It didn't

00:20:33.650 --> 00:20:36.410
matter what it was. He had the SRT and beat machines

00:20:36.410 --> 00:20:39.190
all that stuff I always saw making music and

00:20:39.190 --> 00:20:42.490
making beats but I'm like What are you doing?

00:20:42.569 --> 00:20:44.670
How are you doing it? How are you getting it?

00:20:45.410 --> 00:20:47.029
He was let me tell you what he told me. He was

00:20:47.029 --> 00:20:49.349
like, I ain't gonna tell you he's like, but I

00:20:49.349 --> 00:20:52.970
will tell you this learn how to quantize And

00:20:52.970 --> 00:20:56.369
you can go a long way. He said, once you figure

00:20:56.369 --> 00:20:59.450
out how to quantize, it's going to be on from

00:20:59.450 --> 00:21:02.829
then. And it was just this. And I'm going to

00:21:02.829 --> 00:21:04.609
give you a quick story to it. The reason why

00:21:04.609 --> 00:21:06.650
I say the hunger, the part where you're you're

00:21:06.650 --> 00:21:09.650
you're the part where you just want it to happen

00:21:09.650 --> 00:21:14.529
so bad that part is in you. I know it's in you.

00:21:14.529 --> 00:21:17.130
It's just that sometimes you got to light the

00:21:17.130 --> 00:21:20.950
fire on it sometimes to get it. It's like it's

00:21:20.950 --> 00:21:25.170
like it's like How can I put it? It's like what's

00:21:25.170 --> 00:21:27.150
going on? It's your boy Dwarne Burino from Not

00:21:27.150 --> 00:21:30.109

00:22:24.710 --> 00:22:32.109
The battle of wanting to create versus the battle

00:22:32.109 --> 00:22:36.839
of trying to preserve what you already have created.

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:41.920
That's the battle that I'm dealing with. I'm

00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.539
sure it's a lot of people too. And I think that

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:49.119
mentality of where you come from, how you started

00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:54.650
plays a role because you realize - how hard it

00:22:54.650 --> 00:22:58.390
was to get the connections, how hard it was to

00:22:58.390 --> 00:23:01.309
get that money for that, whatever it was, the

00:23:01.309 --> 00:23:05.890
movie, the song, you realize the struggle, you

00:23:05.890 --> 00:23:09.069
remember those times to when your website was

00:23:09.069 --> 00:23:11.170
just plain, you had nothing on that website,

00:23:11.390 --> 00:23:13.250
you know what I'm saying? Because you didn't

00:23:13.250 --> 00:23:15.309
have that movie yet, you didn't have them songs

00:23:15.309 --> 00:23:17.990
yet. Now you're seeing something on that website

00:23:17.990 --> 00:23:21.789
and it's like, whoa. I don't want to lose this,

00:23:21.789 --> 00:23:25.130
you know what I'm saying? So it's like, I think

00:23:25.130 --> 00:23:29.009
the mindset of that, like knowing how hard it

00:23:29.009 --> 00:23:32.009
was and the connections and the money and, you

00:23:32.009 --> 00:23:33.950
know what I'm saying? Not really knowing this

00:23:33.950 --> 00:23:37.349
and knowing that, but God's grace, God providing

00:23:37.349 --> 00:23:40.369
that for you, makes you want to hold on to what

00:23:40.369 --> 00:23:43.049
you have even more. You know what I'm saying?

00:23:43.730 --> 00:23:46.910
And put that out there. Now, see that, that go

00:23:46.910 --> 00:23:50.150
to party right there. See, you just said exactly

00:23:50.150 --> 00:23:53.490
what I meant by the risk part of it. You will

00:23:53.490 --> 00:23:57.970
go, your instincts will make you go a little

00:23:57.970 --> 00:24:01.890
bit farther when you feel like there's an urgency.

00:24:01.890 --> 00:24:04.049
I just need that with the other, I need that

00:24:04.049 --> 00:24:06.490
with the other part, the creative part. I already

00:24:06.490 --> 00:24:08.130
have it with it. And I still got that whole,

00:24:08.190 --> 00:24:10.029
like you say, I got it, but go ahead. I'm sorry.

00:24:10.569 --> 00:24:12.950
But it's a good conversation though. You helping

00:24:12.950 --> 00:24:15.240
me and you helping some people, yeah. Yeah, that

00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.619
urgency part that you feel that's very good.

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:22.039
It's nothing wrong. That's the part of you that's

00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.440
like you want it. And the thing is, I feel like

00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:31.720
sometimes you overlook your own ability because

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:34.539
you're so used to and I'm be honest, you're used

00:24:34.539 --> 00:24:36.900
to me doing it. And there's nothing wrong with

00:24:36.900 --> 00:24:41.059
that. Right. But there's a part of you that you

00:24:41.059 --> 00:24:44.710
don't know that already knows how to do. everything

00:24:44.710 --> 00:24:46.630
that's going on. And I'm going to give you an

00:24:46.630 --> 00:24:51.789
example. So for the sake of you know how to record

00:24:51.789 --> 00:24:59.910
an episode of a podcast, OK? You've already surpassed

00:24:59.910 --> 00:25:03.150
the fact of you're doing two things at one time.

00:25:03.589 --> 00:25:06.470
You're recording audio and you're recording video.

00:25:06.930 --> 00:25:09.109
You're overlooking your blessing already right

00:25:09.109 --> 00:25:11.150
there. That's two things that people can't do

00:25:11.150 --> 00:25:13.269
right there already. So let me give you an example.

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:17.940
So for the sake of, just say this, and it's not

00:25:17.940 --> 00:25:23.740
saying for you to overlook your ability in any

00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:25.920
way. I mean, or under look your ability in any

00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:31.140
way. But your eye, the eye, the stuff that you

00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:33.740
look at, the way that you visualize it, the way

00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:36.539
that you hear it, you can do all of that. It's

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:40.420
just understanding the tools that you have and

00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:44.399
how to use them to make it look like that. Everything

00:25:44.399 --> 00:25:46.779
like people people look at what we got going

00:25:46.779 --> 00:25:49.119
on and can't believe it's just all off the cell

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:51.140
phones Thank you. Thank you. They think they

00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:53.119
feel as if it's this like these high -powered

00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:57.539
cameras or you know, you know is The simplistic,

00:25:57.819 --> 00:26:00.859
the simplistic thing is understanding what you

00:26:00.859 --> 00:26:02.720
have and learning how to use it. Like my cousin

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:05.680
said, you learn how to quantize. That's going

00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:07.819
to take you across everything. Every board on

00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:09.779
this music production thing, making beats, all

00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:11.519
of that stuff. It's going to take you a long

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:13.759
way. And I'll be doggone. Just by me learning

00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:17.519
how to quantize, change the whole scope of how

00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.579
I started. Then I start like, OK, I know how

00:26:19.579 --> 00:26:21.079
to do this part. I know how to make beats. I

00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.720
can create them. OK, well, let me understand

00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:26.690
how to make a sound. How to create sounds or

00:26:26.690 --> 00:26:29.470
how to record it and make it sound good next

00:26:29.470 --> 00:26:32.930
because those that those parts Come with time.

00:26:32.930 --> 00:26:35.750
I'm sorry. It's just that's the be the best to

00:26:35.750 --> 00:26:38.509
be the greatest at it It just comes with time.

00:26:38.690 --> 00:26:40.930
We all have to go with it though But the thing

00:26:40.930 --> 00:26:43.430
is is that hunger that you keep that you that

00:26:43.430 --> 00:26:46.509
you feel that part where it's like, okay, you

00:26:46.509 --> 00:26:49.509
know You understand, yes, you have to take care

00:26:49.509 --> 00:26:51.470
of yourself. Like that good song, like man, that

00:26:51.470 --> 00:26:54.369
motivate me when I hear, this is true love, like

00:26:54.369 --> 00:26:56.609
when I hear that, I be like, damn, I want to

00:26:56.609 --> 00:26:59.049
get in the studio and create another high R &B

00:26:59.049 --> 00:27:01.410
track. Like, you know what I'm saying? But like,

00:27:01.930 --> 00:27:07.970
I use that as motivation, but I think... I'm

00:27:07.970 --> 00:27:10.630
a little hesitant. That's why I was like, this

00:27:10.630 --> 00:27:12.430
is helping me and it's helping somebody else

00:27:12.430 --> 00:27:16.829
out there. But I'm not stingy in a way to where

00:27:16.829 --> 00:27:20.970
I'm not going to put anything into my brand.

00:27:21.730 --> 00:27:24.289
I'm putting money into my brand via website,

00:27:24.750 --> 00:27:27.730
via subscriptions, when the songs are coming

00:27:27.730 --> 00:27:31.869
due. Those urges, I pay them, I pay my bills.

00:27:32.410 --> 00:27:34.910
No, I need my website, I need my music on all

00:27:34.910 --> 00:27:37.759
these platforms. I need, you know, I take care.

00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:40.240
I treat it like a baby. I treat everything of

00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:43.259
mine like respectfully. I treat it like, you

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:46.660
know, like like value. Like this is this is mine.

00:27:46.660 --> 00:27:48.720
You know, that's that's what you that's what

00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:53.660
I need to have that same. Attitude towards creating

00:27:53.660 --> 00:27:56.440
new. And I think that's what I'm working towards

00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.539
trying to. Be OK with yes, still sick, sick on

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:04.279
what I have created, but also feel free enough

00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.829
to open up. and create again. And this is why

00:28:07.829 --> 00:28:10.569
you said, when you said labels, bro, it makes

00:28:10.569 --> 00:28:14.630
a lot of sense because I see now a lot of those

00:28:14.630 --> 00:28:16.650
artists have that freedom to where they can just

00:28:16.650 --> 00:28:18.789
be like, you know what, now I just want to be

00:28:18.789 --> 00:28:21.339
creative. You know, now I just want to get in

00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:24.279
the studio. Now I just want to do music. You

00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:26.359
know what I'm saying? I don't worry about business

00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:28.880
right now. I just want to do music. And then,

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:30.940
like you hear artists say all the time, like,

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:33.500
no, I'm on tour right now. I'm not in recording

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:35.980
session, recording mode right now. Once I get

00:28:35.980 --> 00:28:38.500
on tour, I'm hitting the studio. I would have

00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:40.920
loved to have that structure, but I'm working

00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.000
with what I have. I'll point out this. This is

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.960
what I point out, too. Right. This is something

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:53.430
that y 'all can do. This is why So let's just

00:28:53.430 --> 00:28:55.289
say this and this is another and this is another

00:28:55.289 --> 00:29:01.529
way to do this the money part of it and The way

00:29:01.529 --> 00:29:03.710
that you can spend the money and ways that you

00:29:03.710 --> 00:29:05.890
can spend the money was this is one thing I want

00:29:05.890 --> 00:29:07.529
y 'all to know I'm gonna give away this cheat

00:29:07.529 --> 00:29:10.970
sheet one more time. This is a cheat sheet So

00:29:10.970 --> 00:29:15.230
your music can stay here and run forever after

00:29:15.230 --> 00:29:21.700
you die your songs will still be in the system.

00:29:21.940 --> 00:29:24.079
OK, this is something that y 'all probably didn't

00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:27.039
know. Now, one thing you must realize, every

00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:31.119
good thing must come to an end. Every good thing

00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:36.240
must come to an end. But how can music live on?

00:29:37.099 --> 00:29:40.720
This is why I said I made the switch from tune

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:42.859
core, which a lot of people are on tune core.

00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:47.660
A lot of people are on Distro kid now and a lot

00:29:47.660 --> 00:29:50.839
of people are on through band lab now I see a

00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:52.240
lot of people are there's a lot of different

00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.380
ones but One giveaway to y 'all if y 'all want

00:29:56.380 --> 00:29:58.740
your music to stay going and going and going

00:29:58.740 --> 00:30:00.900
and going and going forever Find the platforms

00:30:00.900 --> 00:30:03.279
that do that. How do you find a platform to do

00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:05.380
that? I give you a I give away one because I

00:30:05.380 --> 00:30:09.960
just made the move CD, baby So even if I have

00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:13.240
a website don't have a website my songs will

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:17.890
always be in circulation forever. All I don't

00:30:17.890 --> 00:30:21.190
have to pay monthly. I don't have to pay member

00:30:21.190 --> 00:30:25.150
fees a year. None of that. One flat feet. The

00:30:25.150 --> 00:30:28.390
song is out for the rest of the rest of however

00:30:28.390 --> 00:30:33.490
long until however long is however long. So these

00:30:33.490 --> 00:30:35.329
are the things that I'm going to point out and

00:30:35.329 --> 00:30:38.450
say that is find those things that are within

00:30:38.450 --> 00:30:42.809
a budget that suit what you need, but also keep

00:30:42.809 --> 00:30:45.940
what you. Value, so you want to keep what you

00:30:45.940 --> 00:30:48.160

Yes Well site do is it a way you can do it a

00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.079
question for the people too? Is it a way you

can do that with a well site? Are you always

00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:04.559
in the way? There's no way a website Yeah, there's

00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:07.460
no way a website can live forever. What does

00:31:07.460 --> 00:31:12.440
live forever are are certain They used to be

00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:14.420
and this is something that Google used to do

00:31:14.420 --> 00:31:16.480
Google used to have to where you can blog but

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.619
they stopped doing Google blogs a long time ago

00:31:19.619 --> 00:31:23.700
Google blogs are very free and You know blog

00:31:23.700 --> 00:31:26.700
sites that are going to be here forever are ones

00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:29.680
that you want to look into like you may have

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.579
I mean the thing is is you you you've dealt yourself

00:31:33.579 --> 00:31:37.579
enough into All these platforms is out here Facebook

00:31:37.579 --> 00:31:39.940
Instagram all this stuff all this stuff lives

00:31:39.940 --> 00:31:46.220
on All of that lives on and we spoke on it before

00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:49.900
The most crucial thing the blessing of all this

00:31:49.900 --> 00:31:53.440
and I tell any artist the blessings that I Cherish

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:56.039
the most and I keep value to me are close to

00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.319
me is those files long as you got them files

00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:03.140
in your phone and your possession Like you can

00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:05.700
use them things take them anywhere. You feel

00:32:05.700 --> 00:32:08.640
me them files is important. I learned it like

00:32:08.809 --> 00:32:12.250
You know, that movie fail, that I got my movie,

00:32:12.309 --> 00:32:14.869
the music, whatever it is, I got them fails,

00:32:14.910 --> 00:32:18.430
guess what? I can always take them with me somewhere.

00:32:20.210 --> 00:32:22.750
That's the beautiful part. This is the beautiful

00:32:22.750 --> 00:32:25.910
part of what I've been learning for the past

00:32:25.910 --> 00:32:29.549
15 years, especially with, you know, the way

00:32:29.549 --> 00:32:31.490
that things are changing now. This is something

00:32:31.490 --> 00:32:37.710
I offer too, as well. You know, if it's... Find

00:32:37.710 --> 00:32:42.029
this one thing in this one piece. At least one

00:32:42.029 --> 00:32:47.289
time a year, you know. Most have that, let's

00:32:47.289 --> 00:32:49.470
just say income tax time, right? This income

00:32:49.470 --> 00:32:51.769
tax time has just came to an end, but people

00:32:51.769 --> 00:32:56.470
still getting money. If you can, take a piece

00:32:56.470 --> 00:33:01.009
of some chunk of change and put it towards your

00:33:01.009 --> 00:33:06.430
music every year. Get to a point where it doesn't

00:33:06.430 --> 00:33:11.430
have to be every month. Doesn't have to be every

00:33:11.430 --> 00:33:15.029
week. What you can do every week, I've pointed

00:33:15.029 --> 00:33:19.329
out a lot. Blog. Blog your tell -off. Blog as

00:33:19.329 --> 00:33:22.910
many blogs as you can blog if you can. But in

00:33:22.910 --> 00:33:24.750
the sense of the blogs that you're creating,

00:33:25.269 --> 00:33:27.789
make sure they are creative. Make sure they're

00:33:27.789 --> 00:33:31.480
not a mock -up of the last time. Just make sure

00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:33.920
that you're staying in a creative lane to where

00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:36.380
you're showing people the product or the item

00:33:36.380 --> 00:33:39.980
or the song in a different way than you did the

00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:42.480
last time. Because you never know which time

00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.119
that you're showing it somebody is going to gravitate

00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:50.119
to. So you have the work. Again, it take $200.

00:33:50.779 --> 00:33:53.559
You take that $200 and say, look, I'm going to

00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.359
give me a song mixed, mastered. You know, they're

00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:01.680
still leases. lease or lease the beat you know

00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:04.500
don't feel like you can't lease a beat be honest

00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:06.920
with yourself if the exclusive nature of a song

00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:08.900
you can't get with the exclusive nature of a

00:34:08.900 --> 00:34:11.960
song lease it because it's still value behind

00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:16.059
lease I mean most leases some leases go up to

00:34:16.059 --> 00:34:19.000
you know a million downloads and a lot of us

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:22.000
don't reach a million downloads on one song so

00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:26.039
the objective is that if the case it be yeah

00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:28.889
yeah And if the case it be, if the song becomes

00:34:28.889 --> 00:34:30.070
popular. I would say keep that urgency like how

00:34:30.070 --> 00:34:32.690
I was, like, you know, like how you want to,

00:34:33.050 --> 00:34:35.630
long as you had an urgency about your career

00:34:35.630 --> 00:34:39.469
and you have that and you put that up there with

00:34:39.469 --> 00:34:42.210
your livelihood, your bill, because like I said,

00:34:42.690 --> 00:34:45.170
I thought nothing twice about paying that website

00:34:45.170 --> 00:34:48.530
because you know what, because the website is

00:34:48.530 --> 00:34:52.849
not the, I'm not paying for the website. I'm

00:34:52.849 --> 00:34:56.000
paying for me. I'm paying like the brand. That's

00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.480
what I'm paying for. Everything that I've created,

00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:03.139
that is the website. What you have, you, basically.

00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:07.300
So I'm investing, how I looked at it, that's

00:35:07.300 --> 00:35:11.219
me. You get what I'm saying? That's me. So I'm

00:35:11.219 --> 00:35:13.780
going to spend money on me. You know what I'm

00:35:13.780 --> 00:35:16.679
saying? So that's how you got to look at it.

00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:21.000
That's the attitude that you must have. When

00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.320
it comes I'm gonna spend money on me before I

00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:27.179
spend money for that on them, you know Like you

00:35:27.179 --> 00:35:31.500
gonna pay these bills. Yo, yeah my website Regardless,

00:35:31.579 --> 00:35:34.300
I'm gonna keep this like cuz this is where my

00:35:34.300 --> 00:35:37.400
product is that this is me. This is where I show

00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:43.079
me I have a name Quincy Murdoch, you know, so

00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.880
it's like That's the way that, like you say,

00:35:46.019 --> 00:35:48.420
the mindset that you gotta have. And I feel like

00:35:48.420 --> 00:35:51.239
all of us that have that mindset like that, as

00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:53.780
long as if we're contributing, any artist out

00:35:53.780 --> 00:35:56.380
there contributing in any way, you might not

00:35:56.380 --> 00:35:57.820
have been in the studio, but you've probably

00:35:57.820 --> 00:36:00.559
been put money into that website. You've been

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:05.920
put money into buying instruments, forming a

00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:10.119
band. Clothing line you've been investing in

00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:13.059
that ain't took off yet. Whatever you doing if

00:36:13.059 --> 00:36:16.300
you're investing in it You're doing your part

00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:19.420
and it's all gonna click one day. It's all gonna

00:36:19.420 --> 00:36:21.840
click one day and like I said That's the part.

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.000
Yeah, that's the part you remember. That's the

00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.679
part. That's the part you remember and take that

00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:32.820
as Your your way of understanding that you're

00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:37.800
getting there now It's not a race. It's never

00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:42.539
been a race. But the opportunities of success

00:36:42.539 --> 00:36:47.119
come very fast and can be in and out of here

00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:50.199
before you know it. So just remember, and I'm

00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:55.219
gonna show something next time we drop in video

00:36:55.219 --> 00:36:57.420
format. I just found something on here I really

00:36:57.420 --> 00:37:01.099
wanna show y 'all. But the sake of knowing this

00:37:01.099 --> 00:37:04.329
part, This part what Q just brought up basically

00:37:04.329 --> 00:37:09.750
of understanding why urgency is a factor. I gotta

00:37:09.750 --> 00:37:12.329
show this video. And once I show you this video,

00:37:12.530 --> 00:37:15.369
you'll get a different understanding of why urgency

00:37:15.369 --> 00:37:18.409
and the way your mind thinks and how you pull

00:37:18.409 --> 00:37:24.699
on yourself in that urgent moment. I'm telling

00:37:24.699 --> 00:37:32.260
the world a story, but I love saying this because

00:37:32.260 --> 00:37:37.360
this is the trials and tribulations, the lifestyle

00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.679
of being a regular human and a business person.

00:37:41.099 --> 00:37:44.320
This is what comes with it. And I think us talking

00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:46.199
about it will help others. You know what I'm

00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:51.059
saying? It will help others a lot. Yeah, and

00:37:51.059 --> 00:37:54.340
that's that part that part gets us is gonna make

00:37:54.340 --> 00:37:57.440
what was you know, how they call great You know

00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:00.900
just like people listening to this now people

00:38:00.900 --> 00:38:04.260
wouldn't come here if it wasn't for the consistency

00:38:04.260 --> 00:38:08.619
and the urgency to Put out right in and to receive

00:38:08.619 --> 00:38:11.489
something because they see that is active So

00:38:11.489 --> 00:38:14.550
we gotta make sure we shoot at 7, oh, it's an

00:38:14.550 --> 00:38:17.369
urgency. I gotta make sure I'm set up. It's the

00:38:17.369 --> 00:38:22.590
same way. That's the same method you use for

00:38:22.590 --> 00:38:26.489
your own personal brand. You set a time aside

00:38:26.489 --> 00:38:30.070
to do something for yours. You know, it don't

00:38:30.070 --> 00:38:32.730
take long to do it. You know, it may take time

00:38:32.730 --> 00:38:35.369
to polish it, make it look good, make it sound

00:38:35.369 --> 00:38:38.349
good. That comes with it. But at the end of the

00:38:38.349 --> 00:38:42.980
day, the product and the ability and the consistency

00:38:42.980 --> 00:38:46.079
all come together in the end. You'll just get

00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:48.420
better and better at it in time. You know, don't

00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:51.599
don't overlook yourself and never make yourself

00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:54.719
be the one that's like, OK, should I? Yes, you

00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:58.699
should. Yes, you should. Should I go? Yes. Go

00:38:58.699 --> 00:39:03.400
for it. Should I? Yes. Just yes. Yes. Yes to

00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:05.710
all of it. Don't ever have somebody and having

00:39:05.710 --> 00:39:08.329
somebody in your team and crew that understand

00:39:08.329 --> 00:39:10.210
like I want to give you a shout out personally

00:39:10.210 --> 00:39:14.010
to wine bro, like it's so much love bro, like

00:39:14.010 --> 00:39:17.550
You put you push you push the urgency part, but

00:39:17.550 --> 00:39:21.090
you also push The patience and making sure it's

00:39:21.090 --> 00:39:23.530
right part and I and that's what you need to

00:39:23.530 --> 00:39:25.769
have a lot of people in your corner That with

00:39:25.769 --> 00:39:29.320
that mindset like yeah, let's get it done But

00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:31.719
let's do it the right way also, when we're doing

00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:34.659
it. And if it take a little bit more time, it's

00:39:34.659 --> 00:39:36.539
gonna take a little bit more time. But the thing

00:39:36.539 --> 00:39:39.519
of it is, it's gonna happen. And that's one thing

00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:41.980
about the wine, he might have told me a lot of

00:39:41.980 --> 00:39:44.679
times, like, yo, Q, it's gonna take some time.

00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:45.940
You know what I'm saying? It's gonna take time,

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:50.449
but it's gonna get done. And the man, God forbid,

00:39:50.869 --> 00:39:53.289
everything that he said, you know, has came to

00:39:53.289 --> 00:39:55.889
light, that I've done, that he's touched. So

00:39:55.889 --> 00:40:00.409
I can't deny him or question his ability or anything,

00:40:00.670 --> 00:40:02.789
you know what I'm saying? So get you some people

00:40:02.789 --> 00:40:05.349
like that in your corner, too. That's the biggest

00:40:05.349 --> 00:40:08.929
thing. That's the biggest thing. That and God.

00:40:09.130 --> 00:40:13.849
And you will go along with it. Right. Because

00:40:13.849 --> 00:40:15.829
I'm telling you, man, some people think like,

00:40:15.849 --> 00:40:18.250
Some people throw that at you and try to make

00:40:18.250 --> 00:40:21.510
it seem like, oh man, you know, you can't, you

00:40:21.510 --> 00:40:24.809
gotta do more than one person. If you just have

00:40:24.809 --> 00:40:27.010
one solid person and one solid individual that

00:40:27.010 --> 00:40:29.590
knows what you want and can get the product done.

00:40:30.250 --> 00:40:32.769
There's nothing wrong with that, that understanding

00:40:32.769 --> 00:40:34.550
and keeping that rep, that repetition. And you

00:40:34.550 --> 00:40:36.630
bro for life, man. I just wanna put that on wax.

00:40:36.750 --> 00:40:38.610
You bro for life, bruh. Like, you know what I'm

00:40:38.610 --> 00:40:40.030
saying? Some people don't get it. I appreciate

00:40:40.030 --> 00:40:42.630
it. And I'm here for it. I'm here for the ride.

00:40:42.809 --> 00:40:44.309
I've been here for the ride. Let's say that.

00:40:44.929 --> 00:40:47.869
And another thing, too, is always remembering

00:40:47.869 --> 00:40:50.849
that y 'all don't have to always put so much

00:40:50.849 --> 00:40:53.050
pressure on yourself if you didn't have, this

00:40:53.050 --> 00:40:54.449
is, this will help us get to the end of this.

00:40:54.809 --> 00:40:57.590
You have to ask for help when it's time to ask

00:40:57.590 --> 00:40:59.570
for help. There's nothing wrong with that. Like

00:40:59.570 --> 00:41:02.250
the biggest stars in the world right now are

00:41:02.250 --> 00:41:04.369
asking for help. That's how they're getting ahead.

00:41:04.809 --> 00:41:08.090
They're getting way further ahead because they're

00:41:08.090 --> 00:41:10.710
still asking for help. But if you're not going

00:41:10.710 --> 00:41:12.929
to be the one to be willing to ask for help,

00:41:13.429 --> 00:41:15.369
how will you ever know that you can get to that

00:41:15.369 --> 00:41:17.769
next level or to that next phase without asking?

00:41:17.889 --> 00:41:21.190
So if that's the case, be that person to ask

00:41:21.190 --> 00:41:25.159
for help. Don't be a leech and also learn from

00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:27.699
that hilt question right sit there and just be

00:41:27.699 --> 00:41:30.480
like oh well i'm gonna keep asking i need 15

00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:32.639
dollars can i get 15 more dollars can i get 15

00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:34.440
more dollars can i get 15 more dollars can i

00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:37.579
get 15 more dollars you gotta go get it eventually

00:41:37.579 --> 00:41:41.440
get up and go get the 15 dollars y 'all don't

00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:44.119
don't you saw what they did you sent me in the

00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.039
right you sent me in the right direction for

00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:49.639
a website But what would it do, what benefit

00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:52.380
would it be if I didn't keep it up? You sent

00:41:52.380 --> 00:41:54.820
me in the right direction and told me Q get away

00:41:54.820 --> 00:41:57.300
with it. It's like, you set it up, did everything

00:41:57.300 --> 00:42:00.380
you could for me. Now, if I can't manage that,

00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:02.960
who fault is it? And that's just what like going

00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:06.440
into what you're saying. Learn from what you're

00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:09.280
given. You know what I'm saying? Learn from that

00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:12.800
and build on it. Yeah, don't ever feel like,

00:42:12.940 --> 00:42:15.900
especially if somebody gave it to you openly

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:18.760
and they didn't, you know, they didn't require

00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:21.639
anything back from it. Like those are the people

00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:24.420
that you want to keep around because I mean,

00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:26.920
that's how I learned so much just from people

00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:29.880
just giving. Yes, I went to school, but A lot

00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:32.019
of stuff I learned too, about 50 % of the stuff

00:42:32.019 --> 00:42:34.800
I learned outside of school because I knew somebody,

00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:38.699
somebody that helped. So again, if you're the

00:42:38.699 --> 00:42:40.539
person that's giving the help, remember, be in

00:42:40.539 --> 00:42:42.480
the right place too. Don't be the person that's

00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:46.570
just like... Ain't trying to if you did if you're

00:42:46.570 --> 00:42:48.989
that person don't give it. Oh, just fall back.

00:42:49.010 --> 00:42:52.469
It's okay Everybody ain't built to to serve and

00:42:52.469 --> 00:42:54.610
give people things, you know, it's okay It's

00:42:54.610 --> 00:42:56.409
okay to just be the person they can just you

00:42:56.409 --> 00:42:58.369
know Play the sideline and just learn stuff and

00:42:58.369 --> 00:42:59.809
just keep growing. It's nothing wrong with that

00:42:59.809 --> 00:43:01.769
either But if you're that type of person this

00:43:01.769 --> 00:43:05.190
is in you to help and serve people always remember

00:43:05.190 --> 00:43:07.590
to give it an open way Don't give it in a closed

00:43:07.590 --> 00:43:09.929
mind way always remember to be open to it, you

00:43:09.929 --> 00:43:13.000
know, and at the end of day Keep God there and

00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:15.159
always ask him for help, too, because he's the

00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:17.739
master. He's the master of the plan. So when

00:43:17.739 --> 00:43:20.079
you're planning, remember to keep God and ask

00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:22.139
God, like, God, look, help me make this right

00:43:22.139 --> 00:43:24.800
decision. Help me, help me to get past this.

00:43:24.820 --> 00:43:27.519
Help me to grow. Help me to understand this better.

00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.199
Help me to be able to retain this. All this stuff

00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:33.039
comes with time. But at the end of the day, once

00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:35.480
you start learning it, it'll make you more motivated

00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:37.739
and make you more driven and make you get on

00:43:37.739 --> 00:43:40.019
the grind harder to make all that happen. So

00:43:41.320 --> 00:43:45.519
Until next time, we love y 'all and keep, as

00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:48.219
I said, keep God first. Autism community, I love

00:43:48.219 --> 00:43:51.940
y 'all. Disability community, I love y 'all.

00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:54.480
Thinking about you consistently. And at the end

00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:56.320
of the day, there's nothing that y 'all can't

00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:59.820
do either, all right? Love, peace. Peace.
