Well, I know this is probably gonna be really loud and probably gonna be very, very, very hard to understand what I'm saying throughout this. Maybe we'll see. I'm gonna sit there and try and turn this down and see what happens. See if you can hear or make out what I'm saying and what you're not hearing, what I'm saying. I would sit there and say one thing. The start of this is gonna be hey, it's gonna be great. I'm gonna I'm gonna love doing this because I get to talk and I get to sit there and actually describe things that are in general hard to understand in the beginning because you haven't done it yet. So I want to be transparent about in the beginning of what I'm doing is about how to set up your things that you want to do for your business to create what you want to create and what you want to start striving to become, and how you market yourself and how you actually sell yourself to people in general. Creating your LLC, creating your standpoint of what you're doing, doing business as your DBA. Basically, that's what that is. Also, I would sit there and also say that we have a lot of other things too, and what you use for a point of sale system is a big thing too. And what you use for well, I would sit there and say cross-marketing too, because what do you have around you that can sell other things that you have? Or how can you get your name out there and get known by people before you even started? Just for an example, I mean, when I when we first, whenever I first started just a beginner beginning point of anything, when we started anything we did, I went and talked to other local businesses around me. And I literally encouraged them to, or I asked them if they would want to, you know, use us for certain things that we could do for them. Like our, like whatever we had to offer, we offered something to get our name out there to other people because that business has already been known by people for a long time. It made it where people could get to know us before we they even came there. And that way, they weren't just looking for something. They knew what they wanted because they wanted it again, because they already had it somewhere else. So I would sit there and encourage you to get in touch with all your local markets. It doesn't matter what market it's in, they have a business license to operate in that area to do so. And a lot of them want to sit there and help other entrepreneurs, local business, because without you and without them, there's no success in business if you don't work together. Work with others. It makes sense to do so. Local niches around the area that already been set forth in your area, like just for one, there was one place called Wild Side, Wild Side of it was freezer eyed candy or candy, period. It was just all different types of stuff. They did a lot of stuff that was so, so good. They were doing basically like craft shows and stuff like that in the beginning. They opened up their brick and mortar sp spot, their brick and mortar spots, they opened up, did that, and they're now succeeding in everywhere they go. They even have their they have themselves in places that are established. They have done that forever. They went to Moobille, they went to other places in Hastings, they were in a warp they even were a part of our business at one point, or the business that was I was a part of at one point, looking at the aspects of what you can do and what you can't do, and how you push towards certain things or for towards other things in that matter, just working towards it each day for the best possible way. So in some aspects, always, always, always go out and just make yourself known by people. People know who you are before you start. Get to know people through test projects or testings of things you're doing. Get all the people involved in it, bring it to them and have them try it. I mean, giving away something for free for a moment's not be that big of a deal if it actually produces somebody else to come to your area. No matter what it is you're selling, or no matter what it is that you are trying to provide for other people, give them a positive outlook about it. I'm not saying there's not gonna be some negative aspects of it. There will be negativity attached to everything we ever do. Somebody will always be upset or not liking the fact that you're getting to do something that they've always dreamed of doing. Because dreams are only dreams until you make them a reality. Don't be afraid to push forward with your dreams. There are lots of people that have dreams and don't push forward. They're afraid of the cost or afraid of the outcome. Don't be afraid to fail. Because failure or failing is actually a positive thing in a lot of aspects because you learn your ins and outs of what you're doing and what you're not doing. You're moving forward, not moving backwards. Learning how to progress through things, you have to start progressing through it. You can't just sit there and be like, oh yeah, I literally made it from point one and made it all up to 100 steps. I did one step here and I jumped a hundred steps forward. There's no way that happens. One step at a time. And I mean, you might not make it to the 100 steps, okay. But take what you did in the process of getting to those steps you did get to, and realize there were things that worked and things that didn't, and change them according to those things. Always, always get a perspective on what you used to do. Get a hold of that and be honest with yourself about what the outcome was or what the outcome wasn't. Do the best thing that you can do and just get better at. Perfect what you're doing. Time makes everything perfect. My my dad always used to tell me it takes 10,000 hours to become a master of something. So until you get those 10,000 hours, keep on perfecting your craft, keep on perfecting what you want to do. Because there will always be failures in that in the beginning of it all. And becoming a master of something is something that you take pride in. You work on doing those things because it's great to have them. So, in a lot of aspects, do better each day, each step. So think of avenues that you can go through with your business or your LLC or your corporation or whatever you have, a sole proprietorship, partnership, whatever you have. Think about what aspects do you want to cover, what categories do you want to sit there and become masters of? Categories that work for you and categories that might make you uncomfortable. Never in my life would I have thought that I've that I've been able to sit there and adapt and do so much that I've done over the years. I never thought that'd be possible. No one ever sits there and thought I would ever do anything that I've ever done. I guess that's what people get for thinking, right? Because it doesn't matter what people think. All that matters is what you're gonna do through it. You prove others wrong daily. Prove yourself wrong, honestly, because hey, you're not gonna really believe that you can even do any of those things that you're doing in the first place. You're doing them and you're looking at yourself like, what did I just do? And how am I getting better at this? How am I making this easier? Never be afraid to learn from others. Others can help you through something that you're struggling with. Because without them and their struggles, you gotta learn through your own then too. So if you can learn through their struggles and learn through what they're doing and figure out how to help yourself and become better at what you're doing from it, that is the main key of learning to learn how to make different moves on something that somebody else struggled with. So I don't know who all needs to hear these things or who all will be interested in these things, but you know, hey, I'm giving it a shot and bringing it out there for people to give some ideas about some things. There are certain aspects of business that people don't have a clue about because they're afraid to move into those areas because they don't really know that's that's not a thing they want to attack or put themselves in in the light of or put themselves in that idea. A lot of people are untechnical, and that's okay. Be un technical, that's fine. Find people that are and use them and have them help you through your things. I prefer to use myself for those things, but I am technical savvy. I like being technically inclined on things. I have no issue with technical issues because I can work through them. Point of sales systems, internet development or website development, platform development, even, and actual social media ability and actually being able to sit there and produce social media needs for people. How to attach your business to DoorDash if you want it to be attached to DoorDash, if you want it to be attached to Uber Eats, if you want it to be attached to whatever account of account that you can think of that does mobile delivery service for you, without you having to have your own delivery drivers. That's an option too. And in food service, that's great. And regular retail, that's great too. I would also sit there and say social media is a big aspect of help for everything, from recruiting to all the other options and avenues that you have in business, having your own practice, having your own retail business, your own corporation, your own truck driving business, your own brokerage firm, your own design, graphic arts design business, signs, sign business, billboard business, even radio shows and radio marketing and radio ads and all those things that can go into aspects of your business. There'll be always somebody out there looking to help you create or generate revenue for you, but also generate revenue for their business also. That was just touching base on what I want to touch base on. Everybody have a great day today. Enjoy your situation, enjoy your life, enjoy the aspects of what you're gonna learn today. Because everybody is gonna learn something today. I guarantee that.
