Unfortunately, Chet passed away a number of years ago, and Amanda has taken over her father's companies.

We make things so much more complicated than what they should be. She said the number one technique for time management, and we've been deploying this ever since.
 
She said This is to only touch the thing once, so don't keep kicking the can down the road. Don't let things keep coming back up again. Talking about things re re. Engaging with things, touch it once, get it done, get it off your plate, and move on to the next thing. What this does is it allows you to keep moving things forward because basically what happens is if you  keep  doing a little bit here, a little bit there, before you know it, your bandwidth is completely.
Taken over, right? You are completely using everything that you can concentrate on just to get all of this stuff done that you have in your life. So by getting rid of it, seeing it once, touching it once, addressing it, accomplishing it, filing it, whatever the thing is, that is the way to be able to properly manage your time

I'm curious to learn if anyone has any experiences similar to this. Have you heard of the technique called tapping? It's a way to be able to get over different issues that we may have going on in our psyche. And for me, I learned a few weeks ago that I actually have a phobia, and that phobia is basically.
Me worrying that my blood is going to get damaged. This is something that I've always struggled with my entire life, but I didn't know that it was a phobia until a few weeks ago. So this tapping technique puts us into these different positions where we think about times when we were experiencing whatever the issue is, right?
So for me it was when I was, when my, when I had cuts or when I was trying to give blood, and we quite literally would. Recognize where we were feeling stress in our body. And again, for me, it's right kind of in the middle of the chest and you actually tap on that area and then you do a clearing technique, which I have to tell you as I was doing this, I could definitely feel the tension in my chest, in my.
In right in the middle of my chest and halfway through it did start to clear and I could actually feel myself sort of open up and, and dissipate that feeling. So this is very, very new to me. I've never done anything like this before, but I'm curious if anyone else has any experiences that they were able to clear any type of ailments or blockages that they might have.
So let us know. I wanna learn more about this and dive a little bit more into this topic.

 For sure Matt. Excellent question. So, so for me, just to paint the picture, I'm a 22 year old kid. I'm broke, I have a phone, I have no, that's it, to record videos. I don't have no experience editing videos. I actually didn't edit any videos for the first year of, of Master Truck. It wasn't a business. I never knew you could get paid to be a coach.
And the reason is not because I'm some philanthropist. It's because IBM was paying me a lot of money to work there and I was going, oh my God, like this is my future. Well, I wasn't thinking Master Talk was going to be a business. I was thinking it was going to be a hobby because that, because at the end of the day, it's like, okay, I don't have time to coach these students anymore cuz I have to work a a 70 hour a week job and provide for my family.
It's time for me to go into the real world. So I'm not, I'm just making videos to just support the next generation of students and I got a crooked left arm and I

So I've really been getting into plants a lot lately. I've been searching Facebook marketplace trying to find all of these local plants, these people that are, you know, needing to sell these plants. And I know this is gonna sound obvious to a lot of people, but I keep killing these damn things. So this is my effort to help save some plants out there.
I know that, again, this is gonna sound obvious, but what I never. Took into account was actually, you know, sticking my finger into the soil and I found out, I've been doing a lot of research on, you know, how to do things. I basically have been wa overwatering plants, right? So what you want to try to do is stick your finger into the soil about an inch or so, and if it feels dry, the plant needs more water.
Most often, uh, if, if it feels wet, then don't water it anymore. So that was a huge tip that has started me being able to keep these plants alive and have them start flourishing. So hopefully that helps some other people not slaughter their plants.

Well, at the time, it was three years after Jeff Bezos, you know, young, skinny, enthusiastic kid, uh, goes on, I think like Good Morning America or something and talks about this weird thing called the kind.
And so, uh, it was the beginning of the independent publishing revolution. And so as I was trying to figure out which direction should I go, should I go try to land an agent who will then try to land a publishing contract? I said, well, I should probably look at the publishing contract to see what that's all about.
Mm-hmm. Before I choose my life vector on the strength of one idea or another. And I read the publishing contract terms and I was like, this. Freaking stupid who signs this?

 If you've been in business for any time at all, you probably have heard of the Red Bible. The name of the book is called The Ultimate Sales Machine by Chet Holmes, and it's affectionately called the Red Bible because everyone. Who is in business cannot live without it. There's a concept in the book called the Dream 100, and essentially what it boils down to is you want to identify the top 100 people, people that you want to do business with.
So when I started looking at this, basically what I started doing, I was not looking at the people. I was looking at the company and figuring out what companies it was that I wanted to work with and then figuring out who owned those companies and that's the way that I was approaching it. And that is not the right way to do it.
You want to ultimately work with people and you want to interact. People, and obviously you wanna be able to interact with people that are on your same wavelength, interested in the same things as you are, and then you can make different connections and different, um, introductions and, uh, you know, do things for people that you know that you would like.
So it makes it much, much, much easier to be able to do that. Now, I'm not gonna go through all of these because there are quite a few of them, but I've got a spreadsheet here that have things o obviously contact information, email all of their social. Profiles. Then you also want to understand, you know, their family.
How many kids do they have? What are their kids' names? Business partners, personal partners, um, childhood influencers, their parents, their grandparents. Is the family involved in the business? If so, what? What type of business influencers that they follow, their favorite podcasts? Are they into cars? Are they into, uh, what type of real estate investment types do they like?
Other types of investments, sports, favorite sports teams, favorite celebrities? Um, who's their banker? Who's their bookkeeper per personal assistant realtor? Lawyer, favorite politician, or country club that they belong to. Favor, vacation spots, favorite bands, personal development, history, all of these types of things you want to know and understand.
And when you start creating this list, this Dream 100 list, and you know and understand your target people who you want to be able to bring into your life, this information is going to make it so, so much easier. So if you haven't read the Ultimate Sales. I urge you to go and pick up a copy of that book right now.
