Would you like to read all of my Kindle books on Amazon at https://jerrybanfield.com/books/ for free? Every month on the 21st I am doing a free giveaway of all of my ebooks starting on April 21, 2017. Next will be May 21, June 21, July 21, August 21, September 21, October 21, November 21, December 21, January 21, February 21, and March 21 continuing indefinitely! If you can afford to buy the books, would you do that instead because I make around $7 per book which helps me to keep being here with you! When you help me, you will really be helping yourself based on my experience doing the same for others! For example, when I feel I "cannot afford" things I often end up spending the money anyway on something which brings me little joy. Now I consistently try to consciously spend money helping people that help me and I always feel I can truly afford whatever I want. This in turn encourages me to choose to spend money on what will really be useful and appreciated by someone else instead of buying a bigger hou

Would you like to see the home video production studio I have which has allowed me to produce 3,500+ videos in less than 3 years including live videos watched my almost 100 million people on Facebook and YouTube? See from my front door to my bedroom where all the magic happens including an explanation of how it all is connected. Will you view the exact equipment I use at https://jerrybanfield.com/resources/ to see which microphone, software, and services I use to power my business online? When I started my business online, I had no idea what equipment I needed, which software would do the most for me at the best price, or how to find the websites with services to put it all together. Along the way I felt lucky every time I found one new product or service that was helpful often by hearing it mentioned in passing by another instructor. As I continued to work in near complete ignorance of what I really needed, I wasted thousand of dollars and hundreds of hours on ineffective equipment, software that only mad

What if our endless desire to do more really holds back doing better? Today I am simplifying my vlog, podcast, work, and life a little bit more by continuing to combine what I do and reduce the crazy high standards I set because doing more than I need too tends to produce stress, depression, and frustration. Doing just what I need to do provides a happy balance in my life and simplification in our complicated world tends to help most!

How do we feel when we know that just trying is enough? I used to think I was not good enough to do most things in life and my only chance was to specialize at one thing to be an expert and then I could do it. What if it is a lot easier? Why do many of the people we view as "the best" often admit there are many people better than them? If I do not have to be the best musician, then is just trying enough? I am shocked that after starting to learn the very basics of making music in 2017 with no previous experience outside of being a consumer of music mostly produced by major record labels, I now have 12 songs published many of which at least one person has enjoyed! What does that mean for the entire way I think of the world? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jerrybanfield/support

The number one thing I have learned as a parent in the first year and a half is that I teach by example as an equal. This means that I am not better than her because I am more grown up. In fact, she knows things I have forgotten. As a year and a half year old child, my daughter is very much a like a zen master or enlightened spiritual present each moment completely focusing on what is happening. How many people are sitting in workshops today hoping to remember this? As she grows up, she watches and learns from me. What I say is nearly irrelevant if it is different from what I do. When she sees me get mad, she learns anger. In getting upset because things do not go my way, my daughter learns the same. If I tell her to act differently than I behave, the true lesson I teach is hypocrisy where it is okay to say one thing and do something that is the opposite. Thank you for reading about day 154 of Happier People podcast! My exercise is to be aware of what I am really teaching my daughter, to learn from

What is the most effective investment strategy with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash, Ripple, and Litecoin? How can a cryptocurrency portfolio on an exchange like Poloniex be used to build an incredible retirement savings? Watch this video to find out! In summary, the best method for making the most money with the least risk seems to be to bet the entire market and HOLD ON instead of trying to trade or speculate. Imagine if you had a chance to invest in the stock market when it first opened. Just betting the entire market would virtually guarantee success regardless of which individual stock performed well. In 2016 I tested this strategy and was very happy to watch the Bitcoin roll in as many altcoins I invested small amounts into grew rapidly. If I had simply left everything in there instead of making a typical new investor mistake of trying to trade and make even more, I would have many 3 to 5 times more than I originally invested with very little risk. The one big win I did get was bet

What have I learned in reading hundreds of thousands of comments online about the best strategy for responding to viewers on YouTube, comments on Facebook, discussions on Skillshare, reviews on Udemy, and the chat on Twitch, Hitbox, and Beam? To summarize, everyone is here to help me. My policy now is to allow everyone to share whatever they want and for me to receive what is said in a loving way. This means I avoid banning people because of anything they say in the chat and I am curious as to what prompts a reaction out of me now. For the first hundreds of videos I did on YouTube, I often and obsessed about comments getting into arguments and frequently hiding comments I did not like. As I built my Facebook page, I took the same approach banning people completely from that page that posted anything I did not like which thanking people for saying things I did like. I made a video about how I cried after posting a picture of my daughter at around one year old where a profile on Facebook commented back wi

Would you hear the story of how far out I was when I got my first massage at Massage Envy and hear the difference in my life two years later as I now get massages at Massage Luxe (closer to my house now) every week! In summary, I was REALLY stressed out for a lot of my adult life and found relief like many of us do in taking a drink or two. Soon this turned into all night benders to get a vacation from my mind and the honest realization that alcohol did so much for me I had become dependent on it. Thank God for Alcoholics Anonymous because I went there in 2014 to get help with the drinking problem because I had failed so many times to stay stopped that I knew there was no point in even trying to just not drink on my own. After three months of not trying, my entire body was so tense and full of pain that I KNEW I would be getting relief one way or another. A lady in AA one day shared that massages helped her get stress relief but I did not think much of it at the time. A few days later, I was so crazy th

After writing an affirmation yesterday a paragraph long for practice 12 times a day, I got lazy and reduced it just to the word GOOD after checking in the thesaurus for the best options which also included loving, kind, and calm. This conflicts directly with another Happier People podcast episode I did at http://jerry.tips/2prmhrD where I titled it Ending the Quest to Be a Good Person. How do I aim at being a good person while not condemning people different from me as bad? Will you listen to the rest to find out and continue sharing my journey with me which I hope is helpful for you? My exercise for today is to remember I am good enough as is and so is everyone else too.

Would you like to learn how and why I write video descriptions like this for YouTube, Facebook, and posts on my blog with WordPress at https://jerrybanfield.com/blog-posts/ during my quick tip video #5? In summary, I take the time to write this because the organic search benefits on YouTube and Google are huge. Most YouTube videos lack a great description which makes it challenging for Google to understand exactly what is in the video unless many people watch it. Without this basic data, YouTube has no idea the ideal user to watch the video and makes nearly no effort to show the video. Unless the video has shocking or amazing viral video content, uploading a video to YouTube without a well crafted title and making description is mostly a waste of time if having people watch it is a priority. While it seems like a lot of extra time and energy to write a description like this, it also guarantees viewers will have the chance to find the video in YouTube search, suggested video, and browse features. If the

After reading the Scott Adams (Dilbert comic strip creator) chapter in Tools of Titans by Tim Ferris, I am trying the following affirmation today. Would you like to hear how I came up with this and what I hope it does in my life? "In loving service with this body, I am planning to live to 150+ years as a model of sobriety, health, love, faith, humility, happiness, and service with Laura, our four children, twelve grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, 100+ great-great-grandchildren, and 1 billion followers online.” I have already written, spoken, or typed this 3 times this morning and three times in the afternoon. My plan is to do it three times in the evening and three times before bed each day indefinitely. Thank you for reading this and I hope it is helpful during day 151 of Happier People podcast! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jerrybanfield/support

The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu says I alone am nothing which at first of course offended me. I wanted to say I AM TOO SOMETHING ALONE but the more I thought about it, the more I saw that it is impossible to even define ME without having others. As a husband, father, friend, family member, video producer, teacher, and whatever else you want to call me, I see each of these roles requires others to be defined. If you take away everyone else, I alone am nothing. Why is this so helpful for me to remember in everyday life? When I think about WHAT I WANT I am essentially completely wasting my time. In others, I can see my purpose but trying to seek what I alone want has guided me so often into unhappiness. Happy human beings seem to consistently focus on their connections and service with others while those unhappy usually seem to feel without belonging. Today I am grateful to feel I do belong because my life’s purpose becomes clear in being of service to you. My exercise for today is to notice wherever I am t

What music would you picture for taking a midnight unicorn ride in the forest? Hear my 9th song "Midnight Unicorn Ride" created in FL Studio 12 which is the digital audio workstation or DAW I use! Thank you Youil Aushana for suggesting the name on YouTube and for each viewer that voted whether that was the best name! To make this song, I did a live stream on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter with Periscope, and Hitbox using what I teach in my 70+ Skillshare video classes online at https://jerrybanfield.com/freecourses/. Viewers collaborated by suggesting how to arrange elements in the track, which chords to use, the importance of sticking in a scale, and stacking each element in the chorus to fit together. Using Deadmau5's masterclass, I learned to aim each track to -6 db prior to mixing and then to use the limiter to set the final volume in the master. Ducking the kick is a new skill I hope to practice on future songs! Tomas George, a music producer and sound engineer from the UK, helped me to underst

My First Online Business Coaching Case Study with Gilles Brideau Hypnotist, Psychotherapist, and Coach! Would you please let Gilles Brideau share his story with you starting with how he hired me as his coach for building his online business and reviewing his results nearly a year later? Schedule your call with me at https://jerrybanfield.com/call/ to continue your own journey with me today! To summarize, Gilles felt a calling to share his already successful business as a hypnotist, psychotherapist, and coach in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada online after attending a Tony Robbins event. In researching how he could get started, he found my Facebook course available now for free with a one month trial of Skillshare premium at https://jerrybanfield.com/freecourses/. After considering several other coaches, Gilles took a leap of faith with me by scheduling his first call because he felt I was down to earth and genuinely would care about him reaching all of his goals especially those most important to him such as ge

What helps me to be the most productive and least stressed? In planning and choosing what I will do especially in my work as an entrepreneur online, I aim to make everything a guaranteed win meaning I do not have to rely on the result. For example, watch this Facebook ads tutorial I made today at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIJ9klXnHBg. Even if the Facebook ads do not work, I got an amazing two hour tutorial out of it! If the tutorial is not received well, I still produced a new Skillshare class people are watching. Regardless of how the reviews come in on the Skillshare class, I enjoyed the two hours today I spent making each of these and have more confidence to repeat the process. The benefit of this strategy is that I enjoyed the “work” I did and I am not conditioning my happiness on performance. While I hope that the Facebook ads promote the Skillshare class effectively and that the tutorial does the same, I have everything I need to repeat the process with Google AdWords and YouTube ads.
