Where have I been? What have I been doing?
Not Feeling Creative
There are times where I just don't feel very creative. I'm drained. That's ok. I step back, and get refocused, and re-inspired.
Getting Refocused
I lost my focus, and I didn't like who I was turning into. I had to make a change.

4 Tips For Better Photos: Lessons I've Learned
I was into photography about 10 years ago, and the camera I was using died. I didn't pick up photography again until this year. During that time, and now, I have learned a lot about photography, and wanted to share a few tips that have been helping me capture better photos.

Week 2 of 12 Week Content Creation Challenge: Teach Me Something
The truth is, you are an expert at what you do. In week two's challenge, I wanted you to teach me something from your expertise. So what I did for my video, is pose a question on Instagram "What is the key piece of communication in your video, blog, and podcast?" I got some great responses, but I can tell you this, none of them were exactly what I was looking for. I'm glad! That means I have something to teach to you.
Week 1 of the 12 Week Content Creation Challenge: Who am I? What will I be covering over the 12 weeks?
This weeks challenge was to make a Video, Podcast, and Blog, introducing who you are, and what you will be covering over the 12 weeks during the challenge.
Curious? Want to join the fun? It's free! It's just a challenge to hold you accountable! Patienceandhustledaily.com/challenge

How To Start Your Podcast
It's easy. I break it all down for you. It's now up to you get started!
Right Now Is Your Time
Put yourself out there.
Take a chance.
Do that thing you’re afraid of.
That first step is the absolute hardest. After that it all goes by so fast, you start asking yourself, “did I really just do that?”
Life feels long, until you’re laying in a bed at a hospice with your family surrounding you, waiting there, holding your hand, reminiscing over all the memories you had together.
Until your breathing slows down, you let out that final breath, and your soul leaves your body.
Even though you may have time, don’t waste what you have.
Right now, is the time.
It is the only time.
Step out.
Take that leap.
Start that business.
Ask that guy or girl out.
Get on that plane and travel to that country you’ve always wanted to visit.
Write your book.
Direct your movie.
Create your history.
Right now, is the only time.
5 Ways That You Can Post Lots Of Content Across Multiple Platforms
I call it the 5 to 1 Method. Simply put, you take 1) Long form video, then 2) pull the audio to make a podcast, then 3) Make a 1 minute highlight video for social media, then 4) Transcribe the audio into written format to write a blog or article, then finally 5) use the tips/tricks/quotes/ or anything else that was really special in the video to make static graphics for social media.

Why Be Authentic on Social Media?
The only way to truly grow authentically, is to be authentic.
Make Your Message Clear
Make your message clear, by delivering content that is based around your brand and your mission.
Making a good connection with your audience takes you being aware of the content you’re putting out. You want to post content that is within your brand.
These things may not always look like it’s part of your brand, but if you understand a bit more of the individuals mission and goal in life, you’ll see why they post certain content.
Let’s look at Grant Cardone, and Gary Vaynerchuck.
Grant Cardone has multiple companies, including a sales training company, and real estate company. At surface level, you would think that he would only be posting content that is around his businesses. Maybe just videos of him working with his team, one on one with a client, or pictures of some commercial real estate. You look on his Instagram and what do you see? You see a lot of videos of him speaking, you see promo videos, you see bits of the shows that he produces during the week. Then you see pictures and videos of his family, and occasionally videos of him and his wife working out, and you think “how does this fit into sales training, and real estate?”
It’s all a part of his bigger “WHY”. His brand is about creating an abundant life so that you can really take care of you and your family’s life. To get out of the middle-class trap. For him, his family is a very big part of his brand, because that is what is at the core of his mission. Taking care of his family, and showing you what you need to do, in order to take care of yours.
Now Gary Vaynerchuck, doesn’t show his family in his content, because that’s his choice. He wants his family to be his own experience in a sense. His dad is on his vlog every once in a while, because of wine library TV. But Gary mainly focuses on what he does in the daily, to show you that it takes hard work and patience to make things happen. He is focused on removing the excuses you have for not doing what ever it is that you want to do, every day. Gary teaches exactly what you need to do to make money today, and how to grow your followers on social media, and how to create massive amounts of content. He does that by going out and flipping items he purchases at garage sales, because he grew up flipping baseball cards as a kid, and knows that it’s this easy thing that anyone can do. He talks about his $1.80 strategy of going on Instagram, looking up a hashtag, consume the content, and engage, then do that over and over. He runs a media company, but he’s talking about flipping stuff you buy at garage sales, or at target. Doesn’t seem like it matches with his company, but it matches his core “WHY”.
If you’re posting some content on your page, make sure that it is in line with your brand. It should be a piece of what your overall mission is.
You want to make sure your viewer can easily understand your brand, what you do, what you stand for, what you’re accomplishing, and who YOU are.
