Welcome to the Think Generation of Wealth podcast, and this is episode number 119.
00:00:17.257 --> 00:00:19.647
I am your host, amir Estimo.
00:00:19.647 --> 00:00:23.544
Thank you for tuning in in today's podcast episode.
00:00:23.544 --> 00:00:38.152
I want to open up and say thank you for tuning in today's podcast episode again, because you could be doing anything in this world, but the fact that you are listening to this podcast, it is much appreciated.
00:00:38.152 --> 00:00:48.207
Second of all, we would like to thank our sponsors Starville Talent Group for sponsoring this podcast and we'll go from here.
00:00:48.207 --> 00:00:50.408
Let's jump into the podcast episode.
00:00:50.408 --> 00:01:02.171
But other than that, if you get a chance, please subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, because we would like to know how to improve the podcast episode.
00:01:02.171 --> 00:01:05.888
Whether it's good or bad, it's okay.
00:01:05.888 --> 00:01:24.865
You can even go onto the website, wwwthinkgenwealthcom, and you can submit a review or join our mailing list to see how would you like to the podcast to grow and get better, cause that's the only thing we can do here, is improve and get better.
00:01:24.865 --> 00:01:29.188
So because if you stay the same, you're not growing okay.
00:01:29.188 --> 00:01:31.712
So let's jump in into the podcast.
00:01:31.832 --> 00:01:43.349
For today's podcast episode, I don't really uh, to be honest with you, the podcast probably going to relatively short today because I just wanted to.
00:01:43.349 --> 00:01:43.971
It was.
00:01:43.971 --> 00:01:48.822
It was just something in my heart I wanted to share.
00:01:48.822 --> 00:02:00.364
And what I wanted to share is in the podcast is whatever you do in life, don't give up, keep showing up.
00:02:00.364 --> 00:02:05.951
Whatever you do in life, don't give up, keep showing up.
00:02:05.951 --> 00:02:30.443
And the reason what inspired me to do this podcast today was I was listening to the Nightcap podcast by Shannon Sharp and Ocho Cinco, aka Chad Johnson, and beginning of the podcast they mentioned, they shared that they just got sponsored.
00:02:30.443 --> 00:02:45.554
Or now Boost Mobile is now sponsoring the podcast, which is amazing because when you look at, when you look at, the podcast started since 2023 and now they're getting sponsored for the podcast.
00:02:45.554 --> 00:02:56.902
And the lesson I learned from that is things like that will happen for people who keep showing up and who is consistent.
00:02:56.902 --> 00:03:04.962
And this was a lesson for me regarding my podcast, because I've been podcasting.
00:03:04.962 --> 00:03:13.009
It's been a while I'm going to say since 21 or 22, somewhere around there, and maybe even 19, but it's been on and off.
00:03:13.009 --> 00:03:14.834
It hasn't been consistent.
00:03:15.580 --> 00:03:17.304
Last year I took a whole year off.
00:03:17.304 --> 00:03:19.949
I didn't podcast.
00:03:19.949 --> 00:03:21.592
I didn't have any episodes drop.
00:03:21.592 --> 00:03:24.105
I think I may only had one and that was kind of it from there.
00:03:24.105 --> 00:03:28.503
Always understand that mantra If you consistent.
00:03:28.503 --> 00:03:31.592
You show up, things will happen for you.
00:03:31.592 --> 00:03:41.574
And what I had to notice is for me is that I said that can't, this can't be something if I really want to do it.
00:03:41.574 --> 00:03:48.984
This can't be something where I come in, I do a few episodes and then that's it there's.
00:03:48.984 --> 00:03:55.104
It's just hard for people to give you their time If you're not consistent with your time.
00:03:55.104 --> 00:04:01.264
Me taking that whole year off I'll share because my podcast numbers I don't have.
00:04:01.264 --> 00:04:06.622
I don't get a thousand downloads a week, nothing to that nature, or even 30 days.
00:04:06.622 --> 00:04:08.527
What was starting to happen?
00:04:08.527 --> 00:04:23.088
Because I was becoming more consistent, I was averaging somewhere between, I would say, 70, close to a hundred episodes, 75 downloads and episodes.
00:04:23.088 --> 00:04:33.297
For the most part, I was averaging anywhere between 20 to 50 downloads and those 20, 50 downloads are not necessarily your.
00:04:33.297 --> 00:04:35.783
It's not necessarily you put a new content out.
00:04:35.783 --> 00:04:39.110
Let's say I dropped episode 119.
00:04:39.110 --> 00:04:41.036
It's it was.
00:04:41.036 --> 00:04:46.906
It was given exposure to people to listen to other content on the podcast episode.
00:04:46.906 --> 00:04:56.091
That was really happening for me on a weekly basis and the fact that I took a year off rightfully so.
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:07.940
People lose trust in you because if you're supposed to do something consistently, people will lose trust and people go find content elsewhere.
00:05:07.940 --> 00:05:18.725
And so, therefore, you now, every time you stop podcasting and you go back to it again, you lose the audience that you have.
00:05:18.725 --> 00:05:25.569
Some may stay, some may go, but for the most part you're going to have to start again from the ground.
00:05:25.569 --> 00:05:27.305
You're going to have to go ground up again.
00:05:27.305 --> 00:05:33.100
That taught me how many of us think that, like how many of us start something and we stop.
00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:41.490
Start something and we stop, start and stop, and then it just keeps on going, instead just being consistent.
00:05:41.490 --> 00:05:46.692
The more consistent you are the expectation you set for yourself.
00:05:46.692 --> 00:05:48.762
It's just like a TV show.
00:05:48.762 --> 00:05:51.908
How many of these TV shows you see on TV?
00:05:51.908 --> 00:05:56.204
They say, hey, we'll see you next Monday at 8 pm.
00:05:56.204 --> 00:06:00.911
And what do you do every Monday at 7.50?
00:06:00.911 --> 00:06:16.646
You grab your popcorn, you grab that remote, you turn on to the TV, cause you know, every Monday at 8 PM, not sure your your your time zone, but every Monday you know you're going to tune in to watch your favorite TV show.
00:06:16.646 --> 00:06:33.293
And that's how these audiences grow, because they know it's consistent and they know, okay, well, one season might be 10 episodes, one season might be 12 episodes, and if there's that break in between, guess what they're doing?
00:06:33.293 --> 00:06:36.242
They're replaying all their previous seasons.
00:06:36.242 --> 00:06:39.547
So, again, consistency.
00:06:40.028 --> 00:06:52.593
And for us, whatever you start, don't give up, don't stop, keep going, because the minute you stop it's harder to restart than to keep going.
00:06:52.593 --> 00:06:58.745
And keep going is not easy within itself, but if you stop, whatever you're doing.
00:06:58.745 --> 00:07:01.632
Let's say you want to do a podcast.
00:07:01.632 --> 00:07:03.105
Let's say you want to do a YouTube channel.
00:07:03.105 --> 00:07:03.911
Let's say you want to do a podcast.
00:07:03.911 --> 00:07:04.817
Let's say you want to do a YouTube channel.
00:07:04.817 --> 00:07:06.221
Let's say you want to start a business.
00:07:06.221 --> 00:07:10.971
Whatever that is, you have to be consistent with it.
00:07:10.971 --> 00:07:16.346
Because the minute you are not consistent, guess what happens?
00:07:16.346 --> 00:07:20.701
It's, it's like you're, you're, you're building that consistency.
00:07:22.103 --> 00:07:34.290
And the minute you stop, let's say you open the year and say I wanted to go to the gym and get fit, but my goal is to work out four times a week, three times a week.
00:07:34.290 --> 00:07:39.721
But if you work out three times one week, next week you work out two.
00:07:39.721 --> 00:07:41.764
Next week you work out one.
00:07:41.764 --> 00:07:44.865
But yes, you're working out.
00:07:44.865 --> 00:07:49.108
But the issue is is how often are you doing it?
00:07:49.108 --> 00:07:58.394
It's better to do, say commit, to say if I'm going to work out three times a week, I'm going to do that three times a week, don't go to two.
00:07:58.394 --> 00:08:04.887
You can go to four, you can go to five, you can go to six, whatever you desire.
00:08:04.887 --> 00:08:11.482
But the minute you go to two, you're going to say you know what I can, I'm OK with two.
00:08:11.482 --> 00:08:14.540
Then you go down to one, then it's down to zero.
00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:19.355
Therefore, the consistency is gone, and I don't know how many time.
00:08:19.976 --> 00:08:26.541
Even last year, I would work out, be consistent, and then all of a sudden I stopped.
00:08:26.541 --> 00:08:30.165
I don't work out for like two months, or I don't work out.
00:08:30.165 --> 00:08:35.269
I wouldn't say two months, but I wouldn't work out for a month or a month and a half.
00:08:35.269 --> 00:08:51.499
Guess what happens in between that, if I'm not lifting weights, for the most part I like to weight train.
00:08:51.499 --> 00:08:52.623
I like to do a lot of free weight weight training.
00:08:52.623 --> 00:08:53.304
I could do better with cardio.
00:08:53.304 --> 00:08:53.846
I struggle with that.
00:08:53.846 --> 00:08:55.029
For the most part I'm not consistent with cardio.
00:08:55.029 --> 00:09:01.663
But I'm more consistent with going to the gym and working out every week on the weights and my goal is to do that three times a week.
00:09:01.663 --> 00:09:04.990
That's the goal, that's the standard I'm setting for myself.
00:09:04.990 --> 00:09:17.067
But if I say, for example, this week I worked out Monday and Tuesday, I'm recording this podcast on a Friday and I haven't worked out.
00:09:17.575 --> 00:09:22.346
So as soon as I'm done working and since I'm done with the podcast, guess what I'm going to do?
00:09:22.346 --> 00:09:23.836
I'm going to go hit the gym.
00:09:23.836 --> 00:09:25.360
That's my three.
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:30.208
Now I say, okay, now I need to learn, build myself consistency.
00:09:30.208 --> 00:09:36.975
And getting into the gym, getting to do cardio two times, let's start with two, then let's go to three.
00:09:36.975 --> 00:09:40.437
I can't say, well, if I'm going to do cardio, I'm going to do two, I'm only do one.
00:09:40.437 --> 00:09:43.658
If I'm going to do cardio, I'm only do two, I'm only do one.
00:09:43.658 --> 00:09:46.061
I don't want to give myself any room for that.
00:09:46.061 --> 00:09:49.222
And that's the same with people, with anybody.
00:09:49.842 --> 00:09:52.745
If you're starting a YouTube channel, you start on a podcast.
00:09:52.745 --> 00:09:58.129
You want to get help, you want to get fit right, you want to stop drinking, smoking, whatever that is.
00:09:58.129 --> 00:10:00.190
You got to do it consistently.
00:10:00.190 --> 00:10:04.993
And the minute you stop, it gets harder to stop back up again.
00:10:04.993 --> 00:10:14.960
I can say this is that people like people that are consistent.
00:10:14.980 --> 00:10:24.466
If you are consistently with your word and you say I'm going to do this, if I'm going to show up, like I say for the podcast, for example, I said, okay, you know, I have to start back down again.
00:10:24.466 --> 00:10:31.687
The momentum I was building now is gone because I took a whole year off and a lot changes in a year.
00:10:31.687 --> 00:10:35.885
So I said to myself there's 52 Wednesdays in the year.
00:10:35.885 --> 00:10:37.738
I'm going to show up.
00:10:37.738 --> 00:10:43.243
Every 52 Wednesdays you will get a new podcast episode.
00:10:43.243 --> 00:10:49.865
It could be a rebroadcast, it could be just a very short episode like this one that's about to be.
00:10:49.865 --> 00:10:53.880
But the key is, I'm going to tell myself.
00:10:53.880 --> 00:10:57.769
I'm telling myself I'm going to be consistent this year.
00:10:59.134 --> 00:11:02.261
Every Wednesday 6 pm Central.
00:11:02.261 --> 00:11:09.083
My goal is to have a podcast ready to go and I have enough content where you can rebroadcast.
00:11:09.083 --> 00:11:09.946
But I don't want to do that.
00:11:09.946 --> 00:11:11.421
I want to come up with something fresh.
00:11:11.421 --> 00:11:16.307
Now, down the road, you have about two, three hundred episodes.
00:11:16.307 --> 00:11:26.298
Yeah, you can start rebroadcasting some podcast episodes because you have new listeners, podcast episodes because you have new listeners.
00:11:26.298 --> 00:11:28.846
But a new listener is not going to be attracted to the podcast if you haven't dropped it.
00:11:28.846 --> 00:11:39.188
And let's say, the last podcast I recorded, I recorded and that podcast was hey, every Wednesday 6 pm, central Standard Time.
00:11:39.188 --> 00:11:45.839
Next Wednesday you don't show up, they're going to say, yeah, that guy's full of foolishness, and I'm pretty sure that's what happened.
00:11:45.839 --> 00:11:47.964
It's to nobody's fault except mine.
00:11:47.964 --> 00:11:54.725
That's why I'm sharing this with you is be consistent, be consistent.
00:11:54.725 --> 00:11:58.738
The more consistent you are, the easier it will be.
00:11:58.738 --> 00:12:00.240
You will build that momentum.
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.806
You will build that momentum Again.
00:12:03.927 --> 00:12:12.304
It could be anything you choose to do in life and it's weird because there's people who do you know.
00:12:12.304 --> 00:12:27.402
There's people who do some bad stuff in life and I'm not going to say what it is or not you know, but when you consistently do it, someone who ends up I know this may not be this, this may be sensitive to some and I apologize in advance, but it's just an example.
00:12:27.402 --> 00:12:30.489
Think of it as someone who's an alcoholic.
00:12:30.489 --> 00:12:32.301
Someone who's an alcoholic.
00:12:32.301 --> 00:12:33.365
What do they do?
00:12:33.365 --> 00:12:44.870
And the reason I'm saying this is because when I was in retail management and I used to see people come in seven o'clock, seven o'clock, religiously.
00:12:44.870 --> 00:12:47.943
Once seven o'clock hit, they want to buy that beer.
00:12:47.943 --> 00:12:49.941
They're going to buy a beer.
00:12:49.941 --> 00:12:57.850
They did that every day, every day, consistently, 365 day rain, snow.
00:12:57.850 --> 00:13:00.399
They're going to buy that four pack can of beer.
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:08.841
Or someone who come in buy a carton of cigarettes every week, same Friday, for 52 Fridays.
00:13:09.241 --> 00:13:12.308
And I tell myself and those things are not good for your health.
00:13:12.308 --> 00:13:21.308
But imagine you who starts something that you can continue on and on and on.
00:13:21.308 --> 00:13:24.763
You keep doing it, you keep doing it, keep doing it, keep doing it, keep doing it.
00:13:24.763 --> 00:13:28.058
Eventually, your blessings is near.
00:13:28.058 --> 00:13:29.803
You will hit that pot of gold.
00:13:29.803 --> 00:13:33.946
But you will not hit that pot of gold if you're inconsistent.
00:13:33.946 --> 00:13:38.587
You can't say, well, I want to lose weight, but I don't want.
00:13:38.587 --> 00:13:40.320
You're not eating right.
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.063
And number two, you're not working out.
00:13:42.063 --> 00:13:48.701
You can't work out one day for one day, and then you can't work out one day, and then next week work out two days.
00:13:48.701 --> 00:13:49.899
Next week work out one day.
00:13:49.899 --> 00:13:51.221
Next week, work out four days.
00:13:51.221 --> 00:13:52.660
It doesn't work like that.
00:13:53.296 --> 00:14:01.895
If you tell yourself you're going to do something whether, let's say, it's posting on social media you say, hey, I'm going to post every single day.
00:14:01.895 --> 00:14:03.495
Be you say, hey, I'm going to post every single day.
00:14:03.495 --> 00:14:05.756
Be consistent every single day.
00:14:05.756 --> 00:14:39.629
And this is not only to you, you guys, this is for me too, because again, this holds me accountable even more now, because I'm doing now is I am, instead of saying, ok, I got to have a new episode and then do the editing and all that, and then drop it the next day, what I'm telling myself now, every Friday, I have an hour, I can record a podcast, get the editing done and then drop the podcast and then publish it for Wednesday.
00:14:39.629 --> 00:14:44.191
I want to make sure I am two to three podcasts ahead.
00:14:44.191 --> 00:14:49.653
So it could be a week I have something going on or life happens.
00:14:49.653 --> 00:14:51.072
But you know what?
00:14:51.072 --> 00:14:58.456
There's still two podcasts, three.
00:14:58.456 --> 00:15:08.464
Two podcasts that's still in the queue, that's ready to be ready to go, and once I have it set up, ready to publish, ready to go, but at the same token token, I still want to show up every Friday and record a pod.
00:15:08.464 --> 00:15:10.009
Yeah, I could record one.
00:15:10.009 --> 00:15:26.441
I don't want to miss a Friday and then say, oh, you know, I just had, unless I'm on vacation or something, and when that happens I'll just record an extra week so I can make sure there's two to two podcasts ready to be published every week and then that's going to help you.
00:15:26.441 --> 00:15:32.567
You do those little things, you do those little things and it will help you in the long run.
00:15:32.567 --> 00:15:37.187
You have to figure out what's going to help you be consistent.
00:15:37.187 --> 00:15:41.666
So I'm going to leave you with this before I out.
00:15:41.666 --> 00:15:45.139
I'll leave you with this, I out, I'll leave you with this.
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:46.822
There was a post I seen actually you can even.
00:15:46.822 --> 00:15:50.168
It's in a book called three feet from gold by Sharon Lector.
00:15:50.168 --> 00:16:02.115
She's from the serious, the company who produced, who, I think, who I forgot and not produced, but I the publish, uh, outweighing the devil.
00:16:02.115 --> 00:16:09.620
So if you guys ever heard that she's with that company but it's called again, it's called three feet from gold by sharon lector.
00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:16.514
So, sharon lector, that she made a post, I'm not, I'm not sharing that she, I'm sorry she didn't make a post.
00:16:16.514 --> 00:16:28.589
Uh, this was a post I seen on social media and what I saw, saw was there was this person, but it's, it's basically the three feet from goal.
00:16:28.589 --> 00:16:31.336
It's basically from three feet from goal.
00:16:31.336 --> 00:16:33.486
In a sense that it's shit, it's a wrong.
00:16:33.486 --> 00:16:34.549
It's along that line.
00:16:34.889 --> 00:16:40.586
She the the posts show a man digging and he was digging, digging, digging.
00:16:40.586 --> 00:16:43.311
The purpose he was looking for is he was looking for diamonds.
00:16:43.311 --> 00:16:46.635
What happens is he's been digging so long he ended up quitting.
00:16:46.635 --> 00:16:56.546
But on the other side of that wall, if he had kept digging, maybe three more feet he would have reached and that diamond could have changed his life.
00:16:56.546 --> 00:16:59.827
Sometimes that's what we do in life we start something, we keep digging.
00:16:59.827 --> 00:17:09.355
We start something, we keep digging and then when the going is tough or we don't see the results we want, we quit.
00:17:09.355 --> 00:17:16.080
But if we had kept going and going and going, you never know your deliverance would have been near.
00:17:16.080 --> 00:17:17.842
So I leave you with that.
00:17:17.842 --> 00:17:29.713
Hopefully this inspires someone to say even you don't get anything out of this podcast.
00:17:29.713 --> 00:17:32.961
But understand is keep showing up, don't give up, keep going and I know that's cliche to say, but it's true.
00:17:32.961 --> 00:17:36.049
So thank you for the podcast episode.
00:17:36.049 --> 00:17:47.913
Again, if you like this content, please subscribe to the podcast, share it with someone who you think needs this, who would like to hear this, and also, again, don't don't forget, leave a review.
00:17:48.213 --> 00:17:50.827
I'm going to do my best to try to get better at social media.
00:17:50.827 --> 00:17:55.701
I just hate the aspect of constantly posting and marketing.
00:17:55.701 --> 00:18:04.769
So I'm actually in the process of finding a manager, someone that can help me manage all these things that are going because I don't like, so I hate, social media.
00:18:04.769 --> 00:18:14.998
I don't really have the time to always to always try to post and do all this extra stuff, but I know you need a presence online because that's how you actually grow trust.
00:18:14.998 --> 00:18:18.634
People will not trust you if they don't know who you are or don't even see your face.
00:18:18.634 --> 00:18:24.696
All right, but other than that, tune into next week's episode again 6 pm Central Standard Time every Wednesday.
00:18:24.696 --> 00:18:27.907
Much love Peace.
