Hear the difference between a $20 headset vs a $20,000 studio for inspiration to invest in equipment that produces professional looking videos and audio as I do at https://jerrybanfield.com/resources/ where I have a full list of my equipment through seven years of research as an entrepreneur online.  To summarize, putting out low quality videos with lame gear might be better than nothing but only if it inspires further innovation.  Fortunately you do not need a $20,000 studio to sound professional.  The list of equipment I have at  https://jerrybanfield.com/resources/ costs a few thousand dollars to sound the way I do which is a setup very similar to what most of the professionals use for live video production, podcast audio recording, audio book narration on ACX for Audible, and pro home office setups!

Memories of Heaven: Children's Astounding Recollections of the Time Before They Came to Earth by b Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Dee Garnes, and Dianna Hicks-Garnes was incredibly helpful for me to remember my own choice to come here and stay here together rather than being a product of my parents choices while also honoring me with the opportunity to see the same choice in my children!  This book review and summary features what I loved about reading this on Kindle!

Why is streaming on YouTube, Twitch, Mixer, or Facebook a waste of time before we have built the foundations of our community?  What do successful and established streamers recommended to do BEFORE starting any live streams?  In this TUTORIAL we show how to build a following using tips, tricks, guides, and highlights PRIOR to attempting any live streaming.  After a foundation is laid from uploaded videos to YouTube which are shared on Facebook, Instagram, and Instagram linking to the live streaming destination of the future such as YouTube, Facebook, Mixer, or Twitch, THEN we are ready to  start streaming because our following will be much greater than zero.  This advice was inspired by Speros from https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChHnNhkiCmDk6WG3_AEiAaA including his response to my $20 donation via Streamlabs asking his advice for people hoping to build a following like his which now includes 2,000 viewers per live stream and the ability to go full time. @speros recommended this vid

1 year ago my dog bit my 2 year old daughter in the face. Today we still have our dog and our daughter's scars have faded with no more biting. We went through the conversations about whether to give our dog away, put her down, or keep her at home. We decided to keep her home and ensure our daughter and the dog were never alone again by keeping the dog in the sunroom which has a dog door to go outside but not access to the house. I am grateful we made the choices we did and hope hearing this story is useful for you today! Love, Jerry Banfield --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jerrybanfield/support

A simple clap test allows us to sync our camera video and our microphone audio perfectly in OBS and similar live streaming programs using a video editor like Camtasia or Final Cut Pro X.  We just record a video of our hands clapping and put that into our video editor.  In the editor, we check if there is any difference between the time the audio spikes and the time our hands touch on the screen.  If there is, we see the exact number of difference in frames, divide by the frames per second, and add that much delay to our recording software for a perfect sync!

When we value our failures and rejections as proof we are trying, how much easier do our lives get?  I am grateful today I am willing to be told no a lot and I actually am grateful to see the negative responses come in because that is proof I am trying.  For a lot of my life, I only valued success and ironically found it much less often because I thought of failing and getting rejected as something shameful, painful, and therefore to be avoided.  Ironically, the more we are willing to lose, the more we are empowered to win.  For example, let us consider gaming.  Those with the most wins almost always have a huge amount of corresponding losses.  In fact, those winning many games often have ten times as many losses as an average player and might more accurately called the biggest losers at a game.  A player with 1,000+ Fortnite solo wins generally has 10,000+ losses.  In my business, I lose repeatedly and yet through all these NO answers, the amount of YES answers continu

In October 2011, I started my business online at https://jerrybanfield.com/nextlevel/ with a vision to help people with the same problems I struggled with.  During the next three years, I managed to spend every dime I could get my hands on including accumulating nearly one hundred thousand dollars in debt as one bad idea after another failed to pay for itself.  To avoid going bankrupt in December 2014, I borrowed $50,000 more in personal loans to give me time to focus completely on teaching video courses and maybe build some passive income before all my creditors figured out I was borrowing to make the minimum payments.  Four years later, all the debt is now paid off and I have earned more than a million dollars online despite being banned from Udemy in 2016 and a laundry list of other learning opportunities. If I had to start all over again, the biggest change I would make is to hire a coach from the very beginning because now can I see that spending the money on the coach from the start woul

How do we value an online business we are considering buying?  I explain my process for valuing a company based on the Internet here and am available to help at https://www.fiverr.com/jerrybanfield/produce-an-online-business-appraisal.  The basic, standard, and premium packages of this gig directly address these questions based on my experience as a self-sustaining freelancer, entrepreneur, and business owner online since 2011 as seen at https://www.youtube.com/jerrybanfield where I have thousands of videos many of which are tutorials focusing on growing a business. I thought to offer this service after a family member recently consulted with me on whether or not to buy a business online.  With only the sale price and basic financials, I prepared a load of questions to ask for further research and provided an initial recommendation that the business was only worth half or less of the for sale price based on the work involved to maintain the current income and the ease of replicating the busines

Where do we get the most joy in our lives?  When our minds tell us we need to accomplish something like making money in the future before we can be happy, how can  we put this to the test?  I share several stories in this where the ordinary joy I experience on a daily basis is equal to the best that my mind expects from the extraordinary.  For example, playing Paw Patrol with my daughter versus making $300,000 in a day.

How do we escape fear thoughts?  The easiest way is to just say "No thank you" or "I am not interested in that" when the thought comes up.  For example, when my daughter is playing as a parent a fear thought often comes out what if she gets hurt.  While usually I just say no thank you or I am not interested in that, in the face of some of the most painful thoughts I instead just pray or say "God" in my mind to acknowledge the thought and let it pass.  This default no thank you mode allows us to let fear thoughts pass through whereas fighting fear thoughts often keeps them stuck in place.
