Hear what I learned after getting banned from Udemy and see how wonderful life has been after something that initially I was so afraid of! In 2016 I was one of the top Udemy instructors with 72 courses having earned over $620,000 within less than a year and a half including paying 4 contractors a full time wage to help me. The Udemy trust and safety team in June 2016 issued a "final account suspension" because of what they said were policy violations. This ban led to an immediate loss of 95% of my income which for most of us is what we dread the most in our financial lives. Amazingly, ending my teaching on Udemy and now switching to Skillshare at https://www.skillshare.com/r/jerrybanfield has been one of the best experiences of my life and has allowed me to learn so much that I am now grateful for Udemy's actions on my account because of the freedom they have given me. In teaching on Skillshare, I have a better deal to offer students. Instead of $10 or $9 for ONE course, I offer all my classes AND ever

Hear the top 10 new habits I learned listening to The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle on Audible at http://amzn.to/2kWE235 which consistently help my life today to be filled with great joy and peace. In Eckhart Tolle's Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, I learned to know the functioning of my mind instead of simply figuring the voice in my head was me. As Eckhart Tolle explained the pain body, I began to master realizing when my own pain body was arising which gives me the option to react in love instead of by going unconscious. When Eckhart Tolle explains about his spiritual awakening out of suffering by feeling sucked into the void and seeing a new life the next day, I understood that I already had experienced this too and it was important to keep a conscious memory of it in my working mind. For giving speeches, Eckhart Tolle mentions how he acts on faith for his talks and does not prepare anything beforehand. During the book, Eckhart Tolle mentions living on a park bench for years and feeling full of hap

I used to think having a panic attack would never happen to me until it did. Would you like to hear the story of the worst one I had and what I learned from it? You might enjoy seeing how I work to prevent panic attacks from being necessary in my life. What causes a the spasms, fit of terror, and disorder that comes with a panic attack? For me, selfishness, fear, and an obsession with the future made me a perfect victim for episodes of anxiety. The opposites of these are service to others, faith, and focusing on what is happening now. Reading self-help books, going to recovery meetings, learning from healthy people around me, counseling, and prayer continue to help me live a life one day at a time where getting into misery is the exception rather than the norm. Today instead of trying to figure out how to stop a panic attack in progress, my work is to see that my panic attacks happened because I needed to learn a lesson from them. A change in behavior based on looking at my values today which are heal

Hear what I learned listening to Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton on Audible at http://amzn.to/2lfIrfp. The primary purpose of the book is to encourage readers to consider what impact their spending has on their happiness. In summary, investing our cash in others brings us great joy while using credit to buy things we consume for ourselves consistently does not. Buying experiences tends to bring much greater memories whereas wasting on expensive clothing, cars, and housing produces only the briefest short term pleasure followed by an adjustment from our minds to our new position which eliminates any long term benefit. With a life happier than I have ever known today, Happy Money helped me to see some of the reasons I get so much satisfaction out of my business today because of how much I am then spending on contract labor and advertising which gives thousands of people like me the chance to work full time online from home. A few little tricks from the book

Sorry guys but someone has to say it: classes in school and college usually are really boring! So why are so many of us still spending so much time and money continuing to take classes we cannot wait to be over with? The REAL PROBLEM is that we get programmed to think that a CLASSROOM IS THE ONLY PLACE WE CAN LEARN! The truth is that I have learned more by doing independent study than I ever did in school AND taking responsibility for my own learning is the best thing I have ever done for my career. I hope in watching this video you can see that school might be boring but learning must be fun because a desire to learn is critical for growth and happiness while school is not. When we then sit in class and get disinterested with what the teacher is saying, the logical leap is that all studying is boring. While I used to think the time I spent in elementary school was fun, by middle school and junior high I thought learning was a waste of time because it was not fun and was not teaching me anything useful

How do I choose the best hourly rate for me to earn money consulting, freelancing, and working online? What in dollars per hour do I charge for my time? For being an entrepreneur making money especially with digital marketing on the internet, setting the amount I charge clients has been one of the single most challenging parts of my business. Where do I start? When do I know how to scale up? Why are clients not hiring me or why are so many clients paying right away? Is it best to charge upfront, half and half, or pay after? After 5 years of doing business online at as high as $1,000 per hour and often as low as literally paying to work, would you like to hear what I am doing today to set the bill for any new clients? You might enjoy seeing how I am now setting up what services I offer after years of ineffective systems both for me and for clients. As you listen to the discussion of pricing, I think you might be inspired to get to work on your ideal hourly rate and how you pitch it to clients as well!

After Googling feeding dogs vegan, the answer is YES! My rescue Labradors might live to 30+ YEARS OLD eating VEGAN on a WHOLE PLANT FOOD based diet based on stories of existing dog owners that already made the switch! WAIT you might say! DOGS ARE CARNIVORES RIGHT? NO! Dogs, like human beings, are omnivores meaning they can eat both plants and animals. What am I feeding my dogs to get them their protein and vitamins? This morning I fed them about a half can of no salt added black eyed peas (beans) with a half cup of cooked oatmeal and one scoop of almond butter. They get this same meal tonight with chickpeas or Kidney beans instead of black eyed peas and throughout the day they will get some fruit and vegetable snacks. Among all these different food groups, they receive a comprehensive nutritional balance covering all their basic needs according to what works for me as a human with an increase in protein because they are dogs. While veterinarians frequently recommend a mostly meat diet for dogs, most ve

How would you feel each day without the fear of death threatening to take away everything you have worked so hard for? I remember in third grade when I started believing in dying after my grandfather passed away. Before that I only knew life! The idea of death did not exist for me and I was much happier without it. From the day I started placing my faith in a world of fear with death's shadow loomed over me just waiting for the right moment to end my life, the world and everything in it started to less alive and more dark. Twenty years into believing in the Grim Reaper, I could not take it anymore. Either I must leave this earth and find out what was next or stay here and remember the eternal life I had forgotten as a child. After listening to The Miracle of Mindfulness on Audible by Thich Nhat Hanh, I was ready to face death completely and investigate my belief in it. As I stepped into the shower, I started to focus intensely on exactly what my body's death might be like. The corpse laying dead some

In listening to Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife by Eben Alexander on Audible at http://amzn.to/2kEC7B4 I loved hearing how consciousness is not simply a product of our brains but is actually a phenomenon that occurs independently of the body. It appears that our soul bonds with our body during this life. While Dr. Eben Alexander as a Neurosurgeon originally believed that being conscious occurs completely in the human brain, his own near death experience or NDE left him with memories that from a scientific point of view were impossible because technically he was brain-dead when he had them. I loved listening to him actually tell his story in this audio version of this and share my experience with you today with the hope that you have the opportunity for the same experience! Reading this book is great proof of reincarnation and offers a gateway into freedom from death. If you buy the book on Amazon using my link I will be grateful to receive a few cents from Amazon as a thank y

Writing a Love Letter to Heal Feelings and Return to Happiness is really helpful for getting out of feelings I do not like and getting back into the joy of living! I learned this from Dr. John Gray the author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, and What You Feel You Can Heal both of which are books I listened to on Audible. Dr. John Gray as also written Why Mars and Venus Collide: Improving Relationships by Understanding How Men and Women Cope Differently with Stress which I have purchased on Audible and will be reading soon. I hope in explaining the love letter technique for experiencing, healing, and transcending fear, anger, hurt, depression, rejection, anxiety, regret, and any other painful emotion that you are able to use it in your life to get the same results I do. If you are in recovery, the love letter method is similar to doing a fourth step fearless moral inventory where you look at everything and then find a way to move forward with the whole truth in mind. My exercise for today is to
