How To Create Better Video Content

When I meet with my consulting clients, in the marketing, advertising and outreach part, I ask one question; How much video content are you sharing? Most tell me, very little, others tell me none. I’m sure you’ll agree that in today’s busy, noisy, overcrowded online world, great photos and great videos capture our attention a lot quicker than words do. I’ve built my careers around   video content, and there is still a lot of content online from my earlier days. I am one that does not delete anything. I do this purposely. I use my own videos as a way to show people how far one can come. You’ll have to go look for them. Here’s a hint. Go to my YouTube channel  HERE  and find my older videos. *Warning! There may be some weird ones in there and no, I will not take them off. Again, they show the progress my life has gone through, including the journey I’ve taken by developing a more personal relationship with God. One of the things I do as a consultant is to teach people how t...

Dear Haters, Thank You For The Love

  I always thought the term  hater  would only be found in urban dictionaries. I didn’t expect to find it in mainstream academic dictionaries. I decided to  Google the definition of hater  and I discovered that the term is more mainstream than I thought, and that it isn’t always labeled as slang. Apparently, I was wrong about this word. The  Cambridge English Dictionary  defines  hater  as a person who says or writes unpleasant things about someone or criticizes their achievements, especially on the internet. Your  D ictionary  describes is as a slang, pejorative speaking of one who expresses unfounded or inappropriate hatred or dislike, particularly if motivated by envy; as a slang term for someone who is negative or who discourages others; someone who feels strong bad feelings against a person or thing. The  Merriam-Webster Dictionary  defines it as a person who hates someone or something, or as a person who actively and...

10 Things To Do Better With Your $ MONEY $

  1. Find Unnecessary Things To Cut Out Of Your Monthly Budget ‘Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.’  Hebrews 12:1 Many people struggle financially b e cause they waste money on unnecessary things. I met with a Pastor that was struggling to meet the church’s financial responsibilities. It was a fairly large church with great attendance and at first glance, one would wonder why it was so hard for them to pay their bills without struggling. I mean, when I went to the parking lot during their busiest service, I noticed quite a few cars that are nicer than mine. But when I peeled back the layers of their financial onion, I noticed what was actually making their finances cry. The church was dripping money into so many unnecessary monthly and yearly expenses that it would need to almost double their membership ...

Give It All Away… It Won’t Hurt You

Dear Top Producer, Here is a letter for you that should encourage you to share more of y o ur knowledge and wisdom with others. Not only has it been rewarding as an act of grace and kindness towards those coming up behind them, but it has increased their social standing and credibility which is often conducive to monetary rewards. Many have turned it into an extra source of income, becoming public speakers and capitalizing on their industry knowledge. Just ask Gary Vaynerchuk aka #GaryVee how that’s served his own success. Some leaders across diverse fields and industries are afraid to share their knowledge with others because they fear losing their edge. Many believe that teaching others, sharing their systems and strategies with new comers and dreamers, and lifting up new leaders will somehow lessen their own market value. This is not so and I’ll show you why. Would you rather go to an event where Scott Leslie is speaking, or one where Gary Vaynerchuk is speaking? If you Google Scott...
