Tim welcome to the studio. Thank you now. I’d like to start off by talking about MVNOs mobile virtual network operators, perhaps you could tell us a little bit about what M V arrows are and what role they play in the today’s IC T’s landscape, sure so MVNOs, actually very, depending on different types of models That they employ some are very simple resellers mobile operator SIM cards, if you will, whereas others are more sophisticated and control more capabilities themselves, to operate and offer more specific plans that they want to target for their customer segments.
Traditionally, the env nose went after the consumer. Mass-Market targeted different types of specialized ethnic groups, low value, but what we’ve seen really recently is an emergence of a wide variety of MVNOs not only focused on the consumer model, but also in the enterprise space, particularly around IOT, and one of the key trends to be Reading out for in the MVNO industry that what we’re really keeping an eye out is enabling anyone, if you will to become an MVNO we’re seeing, particularly when, when you start talking about smart devices, the Internet of Things, that more and more enterprises are shifting from a Product model to a services model and connectivity becomes a key embedded ingredient of that.
So, while they don’t necessarily think of themselves as an M V, you know like a traditional consumer brand. They are, in essence, an MVNO as part of the broader service offering that they’re that they’re making and in terms of obstacles in this particular market. How might they be overcome there? So some of the obstacles that we see really center around envy knows that want to offer their services across multiple countries, and so working with different local operators in each country can be challenging in that the different method by which you can acquire and utilize their local Spectrum, their radio access can be, can be, can change across, and so then you become limited to the least common denominator of capabilities if you’re heavily reliant on the operators and so we’re seeing a movement more towards virtualized platforms that handle different types of subscriber management capabilities Policy charging different types of business rules that the env knows can operate as an overlay, above all the different radio networks from the partners they use.
So they can offer a consistent and seamless service across multiple countries across multiple operators and what about regulators? What kind of regulatory landscape would you like to see? Well, I think the regulator’s tend to be very much of a follower when it comes to different approaches and, in some cases, we’re seeing regulations that don’t necessarily put in advantage to an MV. You know one one example of that would be in India, which is still a large degree, a key market for us and there with some of the recent regulations.
They require a virtual network operator to be tied to a single operator, and what we’re seeing in other markets around the world is a key differentiation of an MVNO is actually that they’re providing coverage across multiple local operators and and so that that mesh value of multiple Underlying operators is critical for a value prop, let’s say in the US where I’m from, but because of the regulation in India.
You don’t see that so there are types of issues there that that we see that we think the regulators could be a little bit more forward. Thinking and looking at the NV, you know as a way to really enhance the and user value or the enterprise value, and they just need to be a little bit played a little bit more catch up by today. Talking about value, you’ve obviously taken the time and the distance has been traveled by you to be here, just wanted to find out.
So what’s the what’s the value attending events such as ITU telecom world, for you so for us we’re in the MVNO space. We actually look at ourselves as both as a mobile virtual network enabler as well as a virtual network operator, where we operate as an MVNO, we’re targeting or multinational companies our service provider customers to help them reach global scale in certain markets, particularly in Africa, and in Other emerging markets, we recognize that we may not have a strong local presence ourselves, and so we have and are seeking partnerships here to build a presence to kind of create a Federation or a coalition.
If you will – and so we see a lot of exciting things happening in places like Southern Africa with the explosion in terms of the opportunities for MVA knows both on the consumer side and the IOT side, and so we’re really looking at. How can we help? How can we extend some of our capabilities? How can we can enable our partners to be successful in the local markets that they specialize in Tim Sherwood? Thank you very much indeed.
Thank you. Good stuff.
Starting a business is not easy! Think about who will be working on your digital image. Hiring a good webmaster will help!
What you see here is a so not enterprises multi-use hatchet with rubberized handle. I bought it at Fleet Farm for only $ 4 prices online for throwing hatchets range from seven dollars to hundreds of dollars. Unfortunately, the inexpensive ones have really bad reviews. In addition, the inexpensive ones are really light which makes them really hard to throw by taking this one and cutting off the pry bar, I was able to make a nice throwing hatchet.
As you can see, this hatchet was over a pound. I made myself a target out of 4×4 posts, let’s go outside and see if I can stick one if you have it inexpensive, throwing hatchet please like share and subscribe, and I will see you in the next article
Most people like Eric was just told that he needed to do more, branding, wise and and content wise. So one of the things I always think through in our business is that one of the things that we do is yeah. We post a lot on Facebook. You know post a lot on YouTube yeah.
I post Instagram and Facebook stories 10 to 15 times a day. Sometimes more, but I was looking at our week. I think it was Sunday or Monday. I was looking at last week and last week we had 13 Facebook posts last week. Okay, eight of those and that’s almost two a day. Most people are not that active. Okay, eight of those were articles. Three of those were live articles and two were graphics. Now our contents always going to be focused on article because people respond to people like the educational content, we’re like a insurance TV in a box right we’re educating 13 on Facebook YouTube, we dropped 13, so we must not have dropped them all on to Facebook.
That would you put on YouTube: we dropped 13 articles on YouTube, weather or articles podcast, long articles, educational articles, tip articles interviews or even shows right. So we did so. We dropped 13 articles on YouTube. If you think about that, you take a step back and you look at over the next. It’s like 52 weeks, okay, even 50 weeks. Actually, if you look, you know what let’s look at, I mean I mean if you look at 13 you’re at at 50 weeks.
You’re at 650 articles, if you take it times 52 weeks, you’re at what an extra 26 so so 676 676 total articles dropped over the course of 52 weeks a year from an SEO standpoint and a Content standpoint, you are going to lead the pack number one. Okay, you’re going to lead the pack welcome to insurance influencers you’re, also going to have that much content. That’s out there and available from an SEO standpoint, what most people don’t understand and what they don’t realize is.
I mean, for instance, assurance IQ is just sold to Prudential for 2.5 billion dollars. I guarantee you a lot of what they were doing was SEO based and traffic based to that site, getting people to let them shop, their term health, insurance, Medicare ho ho monado right, and so what most people don’t think about? Is the long term play everybody’s? Always thinking about the short term and and when you think about the short term, you don’t produce content, you don’t do articles, you don’t have a article team, you don’t even outsource it to someone like us with our media department, because you’re thinking so short term, but If you’re ever wanting like build a brand, have prospects reach out to you, build a team, sell anything that helps insurance people or grow a telesales operation.
Any of those you need a personal brand that drives people to you now, if you’re, not in that group – and I don’t know who isn’t – I guess I mean – maybe maybe maybe there’s you know the agent that just wants to sell insurance forever and and that’s you Know none of those other things are important to them. Then a brand is an important content as an important article is important, but if any of those five things I mentioned are really really really important to you, then having a personal brand, pushing out content being an influencer in your space is extremely extremely valuable and important.
So that’s one of the things that, like we don’t talk about and our industry doesn’t talk about our industry almost frowns on it, because it’s like oh that’s, person’s, fake and they’re, just trying to put out stuff and they’re trying to get attention. Well, no crap they’re! Just trying to get attention right in our world nowadays, it’s all about attention. Whoever has attention gets paid for it right.
We get paid decently well and do a lot of business with agents, because we are a Content leader. We put out more content. Anyone else in our space we produce more articles by far than anyone else in our space, and I’ve been doing it for almost four years, and we’ve got a trail of twelve thirteen hundred articles on YouTube that people are always reading. So when you think about it eventually, your goal is to be an in actual influencer, and if any of those things are that we talked about those five areas, if you’re ever wanting to be any of those, then you have to establish a Content schedule and put Out content, we could do more right, we’ve spent, I’m guarantee you when you add everything up.
We’ve spent over six figures on this room, this studio, because it’s a long-term play for me. There’s I mean most people. People wouldn’t have a marketing staff of one two. Three: four: five: six: seven, eight, nine ten, eleven twelve people, but we do just on the marketing team, because I’m thinking long term right most of the people on the marketing department, don’t drive short-term revenue. For me, let me say that again most of people on our marketing team aren’t driving short-term revenue.
They are built. They are helping us build and grow our message and our following by producing a crap ton of content, which is unique and rare, and some some can say: hey dude, you just learn to do this by reading Grant Cardone. That’s absolutely true. He’s an influencer in his space and I realized that he did all these shows not because those shows have the best content in the world ever, but he puts out so many articles and does so many shows because he’s got like and he’s got like almost he’s Got over 4,000 articles on YouTube now, so it’s hard to not have a massive following when you put out that much content, the content could suck and you would still have a following just because you are consistent and religious with it, and some people will hate your Content some people love it.
Some people resonate with it. Then they’ll keep reading it. So if you ever wanting to like that’s what we’re adding a media branch to our team and how we can actually come on site and blow up your brand record articles of you build articles for you, edit record upload even manage your YouTube. Most of the YouTube blogs in our space are not good, or they have 32 subscribers and and in 12 articles or 200 articles with 400 subscribers and no thumbnails, no tags, no descriptions.
The titles suck – and you know like if some way, if someone’s titling something you know Medicare QA, and it’s not a title right. The point of titles is to find the core message of that article, the most attractive part, the most clicked baby part. If you want to call it that and then title the article that so people want to click on it and read it right, so the podcast yesterday we did we released yesterday.
The day before was about how to write 6000 maker policies in a year. That is a catchy title and it wasn’t. We didn’t talk about that the whole whole time in the podcast, but that was the core piece of the podcast right. So most people are not doing enough. There’s people that I know that are in my network right now and Dylan. I almost want you to use this as a separate little clip. There are people in my network that could be owning their space and 10 Xing, the traffic that they are getting to their brand, but they aren’t and if that’s what, if you’re one of those people reading you’re like do, I know who you’re talking about me.
Then We Need to Talk because yeah we may talk all the time, but if you aren’t leading from a Content perspective in your space, we can help right. If you want to leverage Dylan and key that nobody else in our marking, department and leverage me and the brainstorming, that’s one of the things that we’re focused on doing is helping other people blow up their brand in our space blow up their YouTube, blog, etc, etc, Etc: okay, any other thoughts or points you want to add Dylan at the end of the day, like it’s all about, if you’re ever wanting to build a team, every wanting to grow a brand, an online brand, a call center sell a product to anybody.
You know have prospects coming to you for whatever you sell, then you need to produce content. You need to become a legit freakin influencer. Most of the people there in our industry are not doing it good enough. Okay, so let’s do it better and let’s realize you know we put that we point up. We pumped out 13 articles last week, but Dylan we had what a month ago where he put out like maybe a month and a half before three weeks ago.
Whatever we put out 21 articles in a week right everywhere, yeah, where every about 15 articles a week on YouTube, that is a freaking crap ton of articles right over the course of 52 weeks. We are on pace to put up 780 articles a year over the course of three years we’re putting up over 3,000 articles. That’s a lot of stinking articles right, which is why you need to be thinking about how you can leverage what you’re doing, how you can get more attention, how you can monetize it, how you can stop thinking so short-term start spending, some money and thinking long term And put out content help people, okay, people work with people to educate them, start educating people thanks for reading to influencers.
I love this show. When I keep doing it, I want to keep educating you on how you can blow up your brain. Get more attention turn yourself into a brand. You are a brand and how you can start to help more people by thinking of yourself differently, okay and by putting out a lot more content. So thanks for reading every weekend,

In this article I’m going to be sharing with you how much money I made from YouTube how much money I made from my blog I’m going to be sharing with you. How much I made exactly I’m going to be telling you how I made that money and yeah. So, let’s get into the article before we start. Please give this article a thumbs up.
It really helps me out, and it encourages me to keep making these articles for you guys. Okay, let’s dive straight into the numbers, have you given this article a thumbs up yet and if you’re not subscribed, I hope you’ve subscribed. Let’s get into it, I’m going to be looking down, because I have my phone with me, I’m looking at my numbers as I’m talking to you. So in the month of July 2017, I am earned a total of one thousand five hundred and sixty nine dollars.
This is the most money I have made from a combination of my blog on YouTube since I started working on this by the way the business I’m referring to is ko bokja fitness.Com, it’s just my yeah, it’s my online business. I recently started and I’m seeing a lot of really good growth on that. So let me tell you how I made this money. I made this money primarily in three ways. Number one was advertising.
I have ads running on my site and I also have ads running on my youtube blog. I also made money by selling products. I have three product categories that I offer. I have leggings I have and I have two digital products. I should probably make a different article about my products and how I decided to create them and how I made them and why I made them, because you guys might be surprised to find out about the whole product creation process and the thought process behind it.
If you want to see a article about creating products, leave a comment below, let me know, and I will be happy to share what I know those are the three categories I made money from advertising on my website, advertising on YouTube and from my products. So three sources of revenue – normally, I know I’m not able to show you the chart for my income and how everything breaks down, but this month I can actually show that to you, because I’m getting so much more organized with my accounting and making sure that I’m Tracking everything really well, so I can show you more information because of that.
So let me show you how the money breaks down into these three categories. You can see from this chart over here that the number one income category for me is advertising on my website. Over 70 % of my income comes from advertising on my website. The second highest source of revenue, for me, is advertising. On my YouTube blog and the least, the least profitable blog for me is actually my products, which would be surprising for anyone.
That’s really into online marketing and digital marketing, because all the Guru’s will tell you make product make product and I’m learning a lot about this as I go along so like I said, if you want a article about that, leave me a comment. Let me know what questions you have and I will share whatever I can that I think will help you out, but that is how the percentage is break down. So those are my that’s my income, so my traffic for the month of July was actually down from June in June.
You guys might remember that I crossed in June I crossed. Let’s see, let me show you my traffic for June June. I crossed three hundred and fifty thousand page views in that one month, whereas in July the page views dropped down to one hundred and ninety six thousand page views. So it’s still a lot one hundred. Ninety six thousand is a lot of page views for one month, but it is down from last month.
So I was a little bit disappointed about that, but even though my page views were down, I still made almost a thousand dollars just from advertising on my website. I think I made nine hundred and eighty dollars specifically from advertising on my website. Let me also show you my youtube number, since that’s where that’s my second largest income source, as of today, I’m recording this article on August 4th, so I’m a four days into the month of August, but not too far, not too far away from July.
Let me show you my subscriber count. I have alright, so let’s go in here. You can see that, as of today, I have twenty four thousand subscribers on my second YouTube blog, my cocoa fitness, you blog. So that is that’s a crazy amount of growth, because I think last month I had maybe 10,000 subscribers. So within a month I basically doubled my subscriber count, and I am excited about that anyway. So those aren’t my numbers, that’s my traffic.
That’s my YouTube! I’m not going to bother with Instagram right now, because I’m not really doing too much with Instagram. It’s not really a priority for me right now, but that is those are my numbers, so the one, the only other thing this article is getting kind of long. The only other thing I wanted to mention in this article is a very huge lesson that I learned in July. So as used as I said, my traffic in July really dropped from June and I wasn’t anticipating that drop.
So I had a different goal for what I thought my traffic would reach and when I didn’t reach that traffic number I was crestfallen, I was crestfallen you guys. I couldn’t believe that I worked so hard and the traffic didn’t reach the goal that I wanted it to reach. So when I was setting my goals for August, I was really apprehensive about how to set the right goals. I didn’t want to set another unrealistic goal.
Work really hard not reach my goal and then feel discouraged. I just didn’t want to have that experience again and what I learned is that there are two types of goals you can set in your business. You can set big hairy audacious goals for people that have read good to great by Jim Collins. You know what a big hairy audacious goal is. There also called stretch goals in the book, one thing, and then they are there’s another type of goal called an incremental goal, and what I did last month was, I said, big hairy, audacious goals, because that’s what I thought I was supposed to do and what I’ve Learned is that for me and my business because of my size because of my intentions because of my preferences, big hairy, audacious goals are not for me right now.
It doesn’t mean I don’t have ambitious goals. It just means that I’m not going for those crazy goals. I’m not going for like at 24,000 how many 21,000 20-something thousand subscribers right now, I’m not aiming for 50k this month. That would be a very stretch goal for me. I’m not aiming for that. I’m aiming for something a little bit more manageable, a little bit more realistic, a little bit more incremental and for me and the stage of business that I am in right now.
That is the right decision. Even though almost everything you read will tell you go for gold, no, I’m not going for gold, I’m going for the incremental wins. The small wins! That’s what I’m going for this month. So I just wanted to share that if you are building an online business, its digital print business and you feel like you’re failing because you’re not like you’re, not at 1 million or you’re, not at 100k.
Maybe you need to really think about your business and where you are and what you prefer and how you want to grow and really listen to your intuition. If you feel like you’re somebody, that’s strong on intuition. So that’s all I wanted to say in this article. I have so many more amazing articles. Coming so make sure you subscribe make sure you give this article a thumbs up and if you want any articles about product creation or anything like that or you have any questions, leave them down below, and I look forward to my next income report next month.
Bye guys, you
Who is helping with your digital business footprint?
And using the correct release forms for your corporate article, you massively reduce The risk of your project falling apart when someone Decides to move on What do release forms cover In most cases, a release. Form is used to give the production company Permission to produce and share a article where a person appears, But they can also cover Permissions for locations, music and imagery, such as Logos and copyrighted artwork Permission Releases give a Huge amount of protection to the production company and the client, for example, if the Interviewee changes their mind a few days after filming Or a company later asks why their building was Featured in a article having a signed release, Form gives you protection, Some organizations might Have their own release forms or a similar approvals? Process already in place, Larger organizations might Have image release permissions built into employment? Contracts or even schools may have pre-approved Agreements from parents, However, you go about it.
Getting permission is essential for pretty much all article projects. So what situations are you most likely to need a release, form Talent Releases, A talent release form is required, anytime talent appears in a article. This could be a professional Presenter, a vox pop interview or a member of staff, In a cutaway sequence, Whilst some people tend To rely on verbal releases, such as having your talent say, “, I consent to be interviewed on camera” at the start of filming Having a physical form is much more robust and should Be used in all situations, A standard release form Will need to be filled out by the talent and will require Their signature date name as well as other relevant Information such as the location of where the form was Signed their job role, contact details, things like that, If our clients have Their own release forms we’ll always talk to them.
Send them our release, forms and come to an agreement on What to use for the project? An iPad system is much More efficient and reliable than a paper-based system, But getting the permission in writing is the most important thing: Location releases, Having permission to film At a particular location also requires a release form. This goes for everywhere from public areas to private land and buildings.
A signed location release, Shows that you’re allowed to be where you are and that the location can be featured in a finished article. It’s not just the location itself. You need to be careful of. In some cases there may Be parts of the location that cannot be shown on camera, For example, when we Were filming for the BBC, we captured several scenes. Inside an art gallery, However, due to the Paintings and sculptures that were copyrighted.
We Had to be very selective about the areas we were Allowed to film, in Private events, Capturing permissions at A large private event such as a conference, is a bit different. If you can’t identify someone in a crowd, this is generally seen as okay and they won’t need a release, form But say. There’s a seminar of Around 200 people attending and you’re likely to capture Recognizable faces in the shot it’s going to be hard to get everyone to sign a release form.
One thing we always do is Make sure that plenty of signs are placed around the Entrance to the venue, The signs clearly state That filming is taking place and that by being present, The attendees acknowledge that they have given Permission to be recorded as part of a article project They’re also given the option to opt out by contacting the event Organizer or article crew, If it’s a seminar, we’ll Often mark a number of seats where those who don’t want to be captured can sit and not be filmed Getting.
Permissions is essential. For all corporate articles, not just the big budget ones, And it’s not just talent, And locations too, Music needs to be licensed properly. Agreements with voiceover Artists cover specific usage and imagery such as Logos shouldn’t be used without the permission. Of the organization too, Having release forms signed By participants in your article not only protects the production Company and the client for this project, but it Also gives you options for any future use of the article.
Should you want to reuse it for advertising? Or any other purpose, The risk of a project backfiring Because of not getting permissions is small, but it Can happen and it can result in costly re-editing at the very least or a full re-shoot and Legal action at the worst Permissions protect everyone. Involved in the project so make sure your production company has the processes in place. To keep you protected For more handy tips on how to get the best out of your corporate article project subscribe to us on YouTube or find us on social media.

The first I’m going to clicked in is great news as Creighton you. Now we have two types of audience. We have the custom audience actually helps you reach people who have already interacted with your business. Now we have the other option which says look-alike audience reach new people on Facebook who are similar to your most valuable audience. So I’m going to be clicking on look come straight down here.
You choose the location where you want your audience to come from already. I have by default Nigeria, probably cuz, I’m an engineer now this doesn’t mean I want people from the United States, also United States of America, to see my ads I’ll click on United State and that’s an I should consider is drier. Wants everybody in United States to see my hands? Do I want only I do I want to exclude those cities? Do I want to include just cities now? It still boils down to the kind of ads you’re creating the kind of business you run.
If you run a business that that has to do with your locality, only you try as much as possible to choose Nigeria alone or the country you come from. I come from Nigeria. I choose Nigeria alone, probably maybe I’m selling shoes to just people in my in my country. I don’t want sell shoes to people outside the country per I’ll, choose just Nigeria and I will narrow my search to if I want those in cities – big cities in Nigeria.
Only so we’ll do that again: United States, United States, sorry for that United States. All right does United State mean I want to add country like Ghana are country like Ghana. I click on that. I wan na add country like South Africa, South Africa as that South Africa alright audience. Potentially we have 25 million people. Who does not mean that you had to actually get in five. It’s potential assumed audience.
Alright, we have age, the each category of people. You want your ads to get for the kind of ads I am trying to set up. I wanted to get to because I know people 18 years ago. Alright, the next thing we’re going to be looking at is the gender. Do. I want every school in gender and a feminine gender to see my ad. If, yes, I’m going to leave it at all, if no prime, maybe I need just meant, maybe I sell boxes and I want to advertise my boxes on Facebook.
I want just me to see my ads. I will click on men in learn now what happens? Only men are entitled to see my ads only men – I don’t see my heart, but if I want everybody, I’m going to click on. Oh now, the next I’m going to do is I need to be sure of the languages. Now, if you look at the countries were actually selected. You selected Nigeria and I’m sure Nigel speaks English. The general language, United States, general language, English, Ghana, general language, English, number, South Africa, South Africa ha a language which is called African.
So for that, for the sake of South Africans, I’m going to choose Africans I’m going to choose English all as well. Right now, the next thing we’re going to be looking at is one of detail are targeting. I want detail, are targeting all right. I want to do it, editing, I’m going to click on browse now, when you click on browse, you have two options. You have demographics, you have interest, you have behaviors.
Now these three options. You have the first I’m going to click on demographics, demographics. I have under them. I have education of financial. I have life events, our parents have relationship now budgeting. So on the demography I have education, financial life events, parents relationship now clicking on education. I have education level, I could conditionally. I have life high school. Invest in some of the first now depends on what you are doing.
Remember you targets you ads based on that kind of business you want. So if I want to tell my ads based on financials, I click on that their income. I look at that way from my interest in that I’ll close, that up close that up to lose that job also interest business and industries I’ll check that I need everybody here. This is an industries. I need everyone to be able to create and ads. Let’s honor Democrats, I just need, I need interests, entertainment.
I need everybody under entertainment to be able to create a very good ads shopping and fashion, and everybody entrepreneur, interaction these food and drink when other Fitness everybody on this would be a bit critic very good ad. All right still under let’s look at interest briefly: demographics, briefly, sorry, behaviors briefly Reverend virtually customer classification. This doesn’t mean I need everybody in this country to see my ads and so on also based on categories and journals for every incoming events.
Api THC and sonar supports all right now depends on the kind of heo Christian. Both of these ads are not going to be going through everything, I’m just going to show you how you can actually narrow d-22 targets and when you click on browse click on demographics. You pick any of the interest right and so on and so forth. All right, the next we’re going to be looking at connection type, it says, add a connection type.
When I click on that I have Facebook page. The option says people will like your page. The second option says friends of people who, like your page, the third option says it’s cool people will like your page. Now I’m going to be explaining that in it beats on the apps, we have people who have used you up. Friends of people who have used the app exclude people use your app now. On that event, we have people who have responded to your event, exclude people who have already responded to your event.
So that’s what we have advanced combinations have advanced combinations. Friends of people who have who are connected to people who have who are connected to I’m going to add the page name, digitally on that’s the best option. So friends of people who are connected to one digit Allium. I click on that and then I don’t exclude anybody, so I’m going to leave it on people who are connected to the italian-french of people who are connected to the tunnel.
That’s the best you should use alright. The next thing I’m going to do is save my audience. It’s very important. You save your audience, so you can actually make use of it probably be so. Why setting up your next ad, so I’ll click on save now the audience is saved. I scroll down. Alright, that’s what we have. You can actually edit your audience whenever you want to now. Presently I have a purchaser with fewer than 1000, I’m not interested in the number people that want to see my ads, I’m interested in the people.
That would see my ad and react now. We look at automatic placement, you might click my decide to make your potential reach millions, but all the times I tell people it’s not about the number of potential reach. It’s about the number of people. That’s all the category of people that sees these ads and then put a cultural or nkg all right automatic placements. Please use automatic placement too much magic buddy to help show your ads so, which is the best just leave it.
That way. All right one schedule and draw a budget schedule adds another body. Now the first option says optimization for ads delivery. Now we have post optimizations. We have impressions, we have daily unique reach now, looking at them one after the other. We will deliver your ads to people as many times as possible. That’s our impressions now post and give me a look at that. We deliver your ads to the right people in quotes the right people to help you get the most likes, shares or comments on your post ID response.
Now look at when you get likes. That means you get people to radio check out your post, you catch it. They are interested in you, put the lovely post and the your ads rather, and they feel somebody might be interested in whatever your marketing they would shake, and they will put in nice comment. Remember my so people might be funny put in comments that, but just be very careful the way I think just some things like that all right, dele, unique rich, would deliver us to people want Cydia, no interest in that I’m good with post engagement.
All right scheduling! Listen, you can set up a schedule for your ads. When do I want my ad to start up? When do I want my ad to ad? Alright, let’s just mean I want my ad to start up on the 24th of April, and I want my ad to end on the tight end of April, so I have to be four of a protected April. You can as well change the time that doesn’t mean. I want to start by up nine zero-zero, that’s 9 a.M.
And I want to end by 6 by 8 a.M. All right. Then click on show advanced you scroll down. Now, I think, I’m all set if you choose to add a spending limit while just advise you to leave it. But if you decide to choose choose especially me, we have the multi Mon Spain and we have the minimum spend now the minimum Spain, since we were actually walking on daily budget. We actually said we want to spend 800 night 1000.
I ride really on our assets. Now we can decide that Facebook out of the 900, all the 1000 area – I told you to spend minimum of 800 and then probably a minimum of maybe is other than 15 air out of the 900. But that’s not feasible. So I’m going to leave that to 900, we’ll leave that to 900 right. Okay, but remember it’s not assitant. It says we can’t guarantee that this amount will be spent. We won’t spend more than this amount all right.
The next i’m going to click is continue. Now we’re going to create a new adds, remember gotten our objectives created our audience done our placements they’re, not budgeting our schedules here, one identified as our post engagement. Remember, that’s all using engagements and now was walking on the format that has to do it here at creating a new ad or using an existing post, but one of creat a new ads.
So I’m going to click on create ad. Now we have identified. Does it choose how you want your business to be represented on your ad? You don’t make the mistake of using a different page for what you are doing, and so I’m going to click on that click on that, but I’m having ground digital’s, that’s know the page. I’m creating this in here I have digit a lien right, so I’m going to click on d’italia.
This is the page craziness ad, for also you can actually connect the ads you create on Facebook, with your Instagram page, very important. So don’t make that mistake, though this is the page, my Instagram page, also digital iam. Now the last thing we’re going to be looking at is the format of our ads, the format of our ads, our scroll down the beats part of my network. I scroll down a bit rafael, upd, ditalion, Instagram pages, also ditalion, so yeah yeah, I’m going to be creating single image or article ad depends on what you want to do now I’ll scroll down here I want to use I’m going to be using an image.
Let’s say you have a article, let me explain something to you guys now. Remember we have article ads. We have image ads now. I would advise you, the other convert small. Our article attribute to create article ads that are short, miss specific transmitters, will to get the attention of your of the people who actually want to see the status on your audience and then because the more article ad secrets, the more audience you get, the more people You get to your post, the more comments you get and remember, don’t create ads article ads that are too long shot short articles and you’re good to go.
We taught you get on images and not as much as the ones you get on articles, so I would advise you do more article ads than image ads. Alright. So back to this article, I have images. I decide to choose image because of what we’re doing so, but if you want to use article, you click on article like I said India, so you can just click to upload the article, so I’m going to clicking on our image I’ll click on that.
We just add an image. It takes you to text me to my computer, so just go down to my. Maybe my desktop. You see calm down this way. First, simple aces mean I want to promote my cover. Page click on open already have that as my cover page, if you want to change that, you click on this now, you can actually use a different image on Instagram. Let’s remember, I said I want to use image for this article, I’m using an image for this article, but remember, like I said earlier, try as much as to use more of articles for your ads than images.
Now I’m going to be using this for my Facebook and I want a different image for my Instagram. All I just needed to click on use a different image for your Instagram. Then I do what I choose the image I want for my Instagram. That doesn’t mean I want to upload a new image. Let’s try that! Yes, I want to use this from my Instagram.

Looking for a company that will have your back? Check out the video below:
Remember to close that first fight with yourself, have you ever dream about closing your first 5g gazelle in just one single day as the young saleswoman? I know some of the customers within you as someone with less experience, some sales manager may not even treat you seriously. The beautiful ladies closing, your first five figure sale is not a dream because I myself have also been through the South before, but I was fortunate to be guided by my mentor to realize that sales, it’s something that can be trained, especially in a very charming way, And once I master the sales charm now, every time I close is easily at least five to six figures in one single day.
That’s why today, I’m here to share it with my ultimate advice for every young sales, women to close their first fight, give yourself a vice number one dress professionally. In order for your clients to take you seriously, you have to take yourself seriously in the first place and the first thing that you need to work on. It’s your appearance always make sure you’re dressed professionally in front of the clients.
When I say professional, it doesn’t mean that you have to dressed like a lawyer with white flowers, black skirt and a black jacket. I personally don’t really like this kind of style, because I don’t differentiate myself from other sales people out there. Instead, I advise you to dress in a smart casual way and, at the same time bring out your charm and your confidence remember never ever dress in a revealing way.
Unless you don’t mind attracting the wrong type of clients who are more interested in you, sexually than professionally advice, number two always behave in a calm manner. Many a sales women tend to lose their calm when the clients has some difficult questions that they are not prepared. For to hide their nervousness, they can’t giggle feature of mumble. That will immediately decrease your credibility and that’s why you end up losing a sale.
If you don’t have the answer right away, it’s okay, to tell clients, you can say something like. Let me get back to you tomorrow, because I’ve had to choke my team. The whole point is giving yourself and time to think and reflect on how you should answer the question effectively, because with better preparation, you will know how to tackle the client’s objection and then eventually close the sale.
Advice number three truly understand the true value of your product or service a lot of times when you are unable to convince your client survive. They really boils down to one simple reason: the kind don’t understand the true value of what you are offering, because you are not convinced yourself in the first place, but once you understand the true value of what we are offering, you are invincible.
I actually made a article to talk about how you can find out the true value, also of how you can implement it to close a sale check out the article right here.

What I wanted to do today was continue in our article series. We talked about yesterday, my humble opinion on knives, and I want to talk a little bit more and expand on some of those things that we talked about. Yesterday and show you some techniques and also again talk about some nonno’s for knife use. One of the things that we talked about a lot yesterday was using a baton with your knife, and basically, a baton is just a piece of hardwood and again I, like mine, you know about arm length from my armpit out to you, where the crook of my Wrist is, and it needs to be made out of a piece of hard wood that you can make contact with the back of your knife to create a better cutting tool out of your knife and give it more force.
If you don’t have an axe and you need to cut something that you can’t just push your knife through. Obviously you don’t want to chop with that knife, and we talked about that. So this becomes the thing that you swing and the knife becomes a solid point of contact that becomes a blade for cutting. So this is an extension of your knife. If you don’t have an axe now, if you have a saw, you may still need to baton.
But if you have an axe, you have no need for either. The problem is you’re not always going to have an axe in every situation and that’s why you need to learn or understand the limitations and capabilities of baton in your knife. So we can use any sized knife from the TLC that we talked about yesterday. All the way up to and including, like the Pathfinder Scout, with a big six-inch blade to baton, we can use the mores if we have to.
But again I tend to stay away from baton knives that are not full tang for fear that they may break at the rat tail and you may go for years without ever breaking a rat tail tang knife, but the time you need it. The most is usually when your equipment fails and I’m not going to take that chance and that’s what we talked about full tang knives. So what we’re going to talk about today is a little bit of do’s and don’ts with your knife, how to use your knife properly with a baton, how to not use your knife properly.
Obviously we talked about you never use your knife to swing like in hacks, because it’s very uncontrolled, it’s very unsafe and it doesn’t take maximum advantage of that blade. I can take a lot more advantage of that blade as a cutting surface by using it with a baton, then I can ever take by sewing it with my hand. The other thing I would never do with my knife is tie it to the end of the stick and make a spear, and I had a couple questions about that.
I’ve had people ask me about that before. Why don’t the knives that I use have the ability to be bolted on to something else as a spear? Well, if your knife is your only tool, why would you want to attach it to a stick? It could possibly come off of and now you’ve lost. Your only tool goes back to my same mentality of throwing knives. Why would I ever want to throw a knife and throw away the only tool that I have? I would never do that.
So I’m not going to use it for a spear at the same time by swinging it as something like an axe. I take a chance on doing damage to that knife for damage to myself. That’s unnecessary. If I can better control the way that knife cuts by using a baton and that’s what we’re going to talk about a lot today, stay with me guys, okay, so what I have in front of me is: I have a hickory sapling and this sapling is about Three inches in diameter at the bottom.
It would be something that I may use for a ridgepole or a construction portion of my shelter. If I were having to build something primitive, it’s a pretty tall tree, it’s probably over 20 feet tall. It’s got a lot of limbs on it. It’s got like I said about a three inch base. So let’s talk about how we would use our knife to process this tree depending on what we’re trying to do. Okay, so the first thing I’m going to do is I’m going to bend this tree over and decide how much of this tree? I don’t need because I’m not going to need the top of this tree for my shelter, although I may use the branches and things like that.
That’s why we’re going to limit, but I’m not going to use the top most crooked portion of this for a construction element, my shelter, so I need to get rid of part of it. Okay, so, as I said, we’re going to have to limb this tree, someone there’s no reason for us to use our knife necessarily unless we have to. If I’ve got a baton already, I can probably beat on many of those limbs off of there by striking against them and down and just pull them off.
If they don’t come off. That way, then I’ll use my knife with the baton, but I want to save that knife as much as I can first remember that in a situation where you are truly stuck down to one tool and that tool is your cutting blade, it’s your most important asset. So the least you have to use it the better off. You are okay, so I’ve got the one here that doesn’t want to come off. What I’m going to do is I’m going to straddle this tree and I’m just going to cut it off with my knife.
The best way for me to effectively do that now that I’ve got it ripped down, is just to put my knife on top of it and hit down just like that and cut it off now. If I’ve got an area where I can’t get the limb off for some reason with my baton, then I will choose to baton my knife through that limb and we’ll talk about that next. Okay. So if I have a limb like this one and this one would come off just by smacking it with this baton, but for sake of this demonstration, we’re going to use our knife, what I’m going to do is I’m going to put my knife in the crotch Of that limb, just like this going down the tree, I’m going to use this area of my knife and again the majority of what you do is going to be used is going to be using this portion of your blade.
So I’m going to get that thing as close to the bottom, as I can and just cut it straight off, just like that with my knife. If I get to that point, I’m good it didn’t take, but a couple of small taps to get that done, and I wasn’t swinging and flailing my knife around like some kind of an axe and that’s the point. Okay, now we’re to the point where we’re going to take the top out of this tree. The best way for us to do that is to bend the top in toward us and push down what that does.
Is that put stress on the bend right here once we’ve got that Bend stressed, we can then safely cut it and as long as we’re standing on it, it’s going to flip out of our way. So we’re just going to take our knife and push down in toward the material just like this and we’re just beaver chewing in just like this, with our knife and sooner or later, even on a live hickory we’re going to get that off of there.
Now we have no top on this tree. All we have is this point. I want to get to add a little less dangerous and just round it off a little bit and then we’ll let the tree go back up. Okay. This is a very good example. This live hickory that were working on right now is a very good example of something that you would use for a spring poll you’re going to have to get rid of all the foliage on this tree, because it’s going to cause resistance when it tries to spring Upward, but a sapling like this – that’s nice and big nice and tall.
This thing’s still like 15 feet tall and has a lot of pressure on it. That’s what you’re going to have to have if you’re going to try to do primitive trapping, because something like this will lift an animal off the ground. Remember if you’re, using primitive methods to trap with you’ve got to get that animal off the ground. Something like this will do it, so that’s a very good technique to take the top out of a tree take a few, the branches off of the tree of the sapling, so that you can then use that for a spring Pole.
Okay, so again, this is our pole at present right here. This is a heavy-duty pole. I’m going to pull this thing down and let’s string up one more time on you about where it would be if it were a trap, spring device, and you can see how heavy due to that piece of hickory is. That makes a great spring pole you’re going to need something the size of that if you plan to do primitive trapping okay. So let’s look at this pole as if we’ve decided, we need to take the whole thing with us now.
Maybe we’re going to use this as a structural pole for a shelter or a travois or some type of a device for dragging someone out of the woods if we needed it like a like a mature of some kind that we can drag like a trip away Or we’re going to use this whole thing for a spring poll, but we didn’t happen to get lucky enough that this great spring poll was right by where we want to set our trap. So we got to take this with us to jam it somewhere else.
In a log jam or bury it partially in the ground or lever it somehow so that it will work the way we want it to work at any rate, when we cut this down, we don’t want to leave. You know a three-foot stump sticking up out here. That’s going to be a killing device if somebody trips on okay, all we’re going to do with this tree is we’re going to pull our knife out. So I figure out which side of the tree I need to get on for you guys to see this.
The best we’re going to come down at a low level of the tree and we’re going to cut ourselves a v-notch in this tree a little bit of an angle. And I want to cut that in there. With the belly of my knife, or just behind the belly, and then I want to come in cut that notch out just like that and if I’ve gotten myself half way through the tree. At that point, I should be able to bend this sapling over and it should break.
If that doesn’t happen, then I’m just going to move over a little bit and I’m going to cut a bigger chunk out off to one side, just like this again trying to go half way through the tree trying to control this. Let you guys see it at the same time a little bit sure, but that’s okay! Now it’s going to come straight over now. I can take my knife and shear it off just like this, and if I get some stubborn bark I’ll just run that over the top and go straight down on it and now that tree is ready to go.
I just beaver tune around it until I could push it over and then chopped it off, get it all with my baton, the first two-thirds of my knife and never had to swing anything except this, which is much more controllable and less sharp than swinging this. Okay. So, let’s take a smaller tree in this example, is something that we’re going to harvest. We’ve got a triple triples coming out of the ground right here.
All we’re going to do is bend this down and find our Bend and then we’re going to be virtual with our knife. If we don’t have a big enough knife that we can beat on it, oh we’re a little bit leery of batana our knife. We can always be virtue this thing down and I’m going to show you how to do that right now. Okay, so maybe the knife that we have is not optimal for batani, but it’s still plenty sharp.
Well, that’s just going to dictate to us what size trees. We can pick on a little bit, but we can still get the job done. We just need to figure out where this tree is flexing. You can see it flexing right there and that’s what we’re going to use our knife we’re going to take advantage of that Bend and we’re going to start to cut into that Bend. Just like this, you see how that just bent right over and busted with just a couple of cuts once I’ve done, that I can be virtu my way back around until I cut that completely out.
Just like that. Okay, again we’ll go back to our small knife for a minute and say that we want to process this down to a certain length, we’re going to use it for a tripod stand. Whatever the case may be, we can’t sit here and hack on this thing. For a half an hour with our knife trying to chop it, or we can just take our baton and make a V cut in here over halfway through on this side, turn it over and do exactly the same thing on the backside.
Having problems getting to lay the way I want to house it in top it first, that’s okay, another advantage to topping the tree beforehand is easier to control, and then you can see. I just cut that to length with two cuts very easily snap that off and that things cut to length I didn’t have to swing my knife. All I had to do is very controlled and use my baton very simple, okay, well we’re sitting here with this.
Stick in her hand, let’s talk about another reason or another way that we can use our knife. Now that we know we have a ninety degree spine on that knife again, we’ll go back in a smaller knife, the trap line, companion and if I want to process this thing, maybe this is a dead limb and I want to process this bark for use. As a tinder bundle, I can’t scrape the bark with my knife just like this on the back side, or I want to just remove the bark down to the inner bark or down to the sapwood.
I can do that very easy. With the back of this knife – and I don’t have to sacrifice my blade to try to do things like the bark removal – I can do that with the spine of my knife just like this, and you can see how good that 90 degree spine removes that bark. If I want fine shavings, I can get those as well, and this will work the same way for dead wood as it does for green wood. That 90 degree spine allows me to get very, very fine shavings if I need them, and that is exactly what happens with your ferrocerium rod when you scrape it you’re, taking those fine shavings of magnesium and other materials and removing them, and they spontaneously combust with oxygen And ignite, and one of the things I was talking about yesterday in my article, was about not worrying about carrying a downes bar because you wear out the mat, the mag board.
You wear out the Ferro rod long before you’re, going to wear out the magnesium and what a lot of people don’t understand is because these rods have so much magnesium in them. You can’t always just scrape the rod to get a pile of shavings and those shavings are going to be highly combustible. You just got to be careful about it, so that you’re not creating spark and then you’re going to get the same thing you get with magnesium.
So I wouldn’t carry the downes bar because it has magnesium on. I just care extra feral rod, okay, so real quick. Let’s talk about “’but awning wood as far as processing firewood goes now. This log is about four inches in diameter. If I have a saw, I can cut those logs, but I’m going to be here all day trying to do this. So it’s a lot easier for me to baton this. If I don’t have an axe, if I have an axe, I can forego all of that.
But I don’t have an axe because I’m down to you know I just carried a saw and a knife because that’s all I thought I was going to need or all I have is you know well I’ve got then I may have to beat on wood and That’s all there is to it, so there are ways that you can beat on logs like this properly and there’s ways to do it, I’m properly or unsafely, and one thing that I want you remember is like I said this is a four inch diameter long and That is one of the reasons for the length of this knife.
Okay, and this is about a five inch log. Actually, so there’s barely any stick out on the edge of this log. So when I get this knife down into here that this log hasn’t split for some reason, I still have something to hit with my baton. Besides the back of my knife or the back of my hand, that’s the reason for that blade length. If I have a four inch blade and I’ve got a vlog, this big once I get down to the center of it now I’m either banging on the back of my hand or I’m banging on the handle, and I don’t want to do that.
So that’s another reason for the five to six inch blade length, because a four inch log is good fuel size. It’s also good size for shelter, building material. You should never have to process anything bigger than four inches in diameter in a woodland emergency or a wilderness emergency scenario. You should never have to process anything bigger than that, so big choppers and things like that in eastern Willa’s aren’t necessary.
You really don’t need them. So what we’re going to do is we’re going to lay our knife on the log and I like to split the center first and you want to you: don’t ever want to do this, you don’t want the belly of your knife or the point of your knife. Going into this piece of wood remember that this area is going to be used for skinning tasks, find carving tasks and all of those types of things, and it’s also the hardest to resharpen that area in the field.
That’s important thing to remember that some people, don’t realize, is a straight long flat like this is much easier to resharpen than a curved edge right here, even in a controlled environment. That’s the part that most people have struggle with. So in the woods it’s really going to be a problem, so I need to conserve that area of my blade, the best I can so I’m going to push my knife, no matter how big my log is all the way to the edge of that blade.
Now this one just happens to be wide enough. Then it’s going to take up some of that area. I don’t want to use, but I have no choice in that with this long. If I had a choice I wouldn’t be doing it, then I’m going to get I’m going to hold back on the handle a little bit to make sure my hands completely out of the way and I’m going to take a seating tap. I’m going to make sure that knife is seated in there very well, then I’m going to take a harder smack if my knife gets cockeyed I’ll, move off to the side a little bit and continue now you can see I’ve went down through this log and it Did not split it completely out.
Part of that is blade, grind issue. If this was a Scandinavian, grinder or a wedge shape, it would split this much butter. This is a flat grind, which is a narrow. It’s a full flat grind, which is a narrow wedge, not near as good for splitting wood, much better for processing meat and game again trade off. If I had the Pathfinder knife in this thing, it would have split wide open. So now I’m at the mercy of smacking on this tip, but if this tip wasn’t here, what would I do? I need there to be swinging this down to try to bust it and flail around my knife, or I’d have to try to pry it out of there start over again, alright be smacking back here on my handles so by having that little blade length out there, I was able to effectively split that log open.
If I quarter this, that’s going to be more than enough for fuel, that’s going to be enough! Cutting down of that material to make fuel! This is long burning fuel. If it’s hard wood, that’s going to burn a lot faster. If I’m trying to make fire material for starting my fire like a kindling pile, then I’m going to have to split this down considerably more because kindling to me is something the size of a pencil or less.
So now I’m going to have to split that down again into eights. Then I’m going to have to drop down and split it into 16 crossways. Then I’m going to have to split that down into 30 seconds. I don’t have to get out of control with this. These pieces here are going to be good kindling. That’s an important thing to understand, especially if you’re in a wet weather situation you can’t find dry material oftentimes breaking inside a log is going to give you the driest material.
Now you could choose to go down. One step further with this: no problem, if you were really in wet conditions, you want to insure yourself a lot of surface area. You could split that down it’s a little bit more to stuff like this and that’s going to be more highly combustible. Now, if I were really really worried about my fire and I had really extremely wet conditions, then I might take a stick: the size of this one that was going to be kindling, and I might take that and use that to make a feather stick and again, I’m just using my thumb for a guide here.
This is hard wood, so it’s not going to shave down near as well as a piece of soft wood, wood, soft wood wood, but I can still get their surface area increased dramatically by putting some fine shavings around this piece of wood. Just like that, I knock them off. They don’t do me a whole lot of good. I really need to stay on their partner. That’s a function of this wood being dry, but these kernels are going to give me increased surface area for the flames and again you know this is a pretty good sized knife.
This is no Maura. This is a big butchering knife that we’re using, but it’ll get the job done, not as well as a Maura, but it’ll definitely get the job done and that’s what counts. Okay, folks! Well, I hope you enjoyed this article today a little bit more about knives. My thoughts on knives, what you can do with your knife, if you got the right skill level, how to use your knife to process different types of wood, and things like that, you may need to do in the woods and the safest way to do that.
I appreciate your time your support, your views, everything you for me for my school and for my family I’ll be back to another article. Soon, as I can, thanks guys, you
Knives and daggers are awesome! Plain and simple, right? Let me say, I enjoy my dagger collection with a little music playing in the background.
I know I really don’t do plant with me type articles anymore. I will link my playlist up above if you would like to read you know. What’s been giving me a lot of planner piece recently is just kind of filling it in when I get home and making it really work. For me, if y’all are interested, I am using an Erin Condon condon, an Erin Condren, binder system.
This year. I have the Navy cover and I chose the hourly colorful version and I really like that you can. You know, take these pages out and stuff like that. Like it’s super helpful, you know when you’re trying to decorate – or you know when I’m right-handed. So if I’m trying to write something on here, like I don’t bump into this, I can just pop this little sucker out. So it’s really actually helpful for me so anyway, let’s talk about this week, so this week is July 29 through August 4, and this was a pretty alright week did a bunch of stuff and my mom and I were kind of getting stuff ready for Niagara Falls, Which you’ll actually see in this like planner, I guess you’re not going to actually see Niagara Falls in the article.
I’m sorry, if you guys want to see the Niagara Falls, article I’ll link it for you guys, so we chatted about it. On Monday, we already had this plan like last year and then I got the hotel booked and everything, so it kind of like figured out a plan, and then you know we kind of just like went from there. I’ve been having some problems recently. Unfortunately, some health issues, so I have been working from home.
It’s like digestive stomach problems, so you’ll, probably guys, will learn more about that in September, because I have some more doctor’s appointments and stuff scheduled that I need to take care of. So anyway. I’ve been working from home a lot recently because of that, because you know my just had to be close to a bathroom which is gross, but it’s part of life. You know also on the third, I went to Ryan’s apartment with Doyle and we had a great time and Doyle now owns his apartment.
So anyway, so that’s a good time. Oh and then I also released my ticket information for my 20 year high school reunion, which is coming up this October. So it’s coming up really darn fast. So anyway, that was this week and then we get into the week of the 5th through the 11th, and this was an OK ish week. I actually, on Monday, had hail damage on my vehicle at work, so that was interesting, went to girls night with my friends and we wouldn’t had well tacos.
I don’t know. I think I just had rice. I can’t remember anyway, and then the next day I made my hail claim with my insurance company and doing all that good stuff. The next day I had a migraine, so I had these are my little migraine. People things anyways, so that was kind of a crummy day. On the next day I had to work from home because you know my well stickers. I worked on my packing list that evening and I wrapped up a gift for a friend, and then this was a really bad day.
It was a sick day. My mom came over to help me with some things and tried to sleep. Couldn’t do it my brother? Actually came over later on that day cuz he had to pick up some mail, but the nice thing about that Jay was my friend’s daughter was born. Charlotte was born that day at 9:29, so it was very exciting and then the next day I did some laundry. I made my collab list: the actually the wild for planners sale is going on right now, but this article is going to go up probably way after this, but I was making kind of my list and then I took a nap because clearly I wasn’t feeling of The day before and started to pack my bags and then I went to the twins game for a little while we didn’t stay the whole time.
But we went to the twins game for a little while and then I did some meal prep, so yeah and then the next week, I’m actually in Niagara Falls. I had to contact my doctor about my problems, so I need to talk to him about test stomach issues migraines and my prescription refills, so we’ll get into that in the next week. This I worked from home these two days because I just was not able to deal that makes sense.
Then, on Wednesday I actually was in to the office that day, which is great Rand at the post office, and then I went to Ryan’s apartment to drop off little Doyle dog, because Doyle was hanging out with Ryan from a man with the plans for the weekend. So that was fun. My mom and I left on Thursday morning bright and early and drove to New York, but the we actually stayed in Ohio on Thursday and then we basically after lunch, we got to Niagara Falls.
Our check-in was at like 2:30 or 3:00 or something – and we got there like right at that time, so it worked out great. So we actually went to like a little Niagara Falls movie, which I totally recommend. We had some Chinese food that night and then we went up on this. Like looking pier area. I don’t know what that’s called is probably totally wrong, but we readed the light, show and fireworks which is really cool and then the next day it actually rained.
Quite a bit in the morning and then we went over to Canada. We went to a really great Italian restaurant called mamma mias, which was wonderful. It was recommendation from one of you guys and then you know, did a bunch of other little adventures in Canada and then came back. And then we went on me to the mist I got super burnt and then for dinner. We had went to Hard Rock and then on Sunday morning we started driving back to Minnesota.
So we just drove – and I just put in like food stuff because it was just like that’s all we did and then we stopped in Illinois for the evening and then our tolls total from like the beginning to the end, was 74 dollars and 40 cents. We should have just flew there anyway, so now with this week, which we’re in this is today we drove for part of the day, and then I picked up toil kind of later on in the afternoon.
It was about three four somewhere in there, so I was able to stop by Ryan’s apartment, which was kind of on our way home, and he and then I unpacked did a little bit of laundry and that was kind of my Monday and then on Tuesday went To work, which was great all that good stuff and then I went to Abra to get a Hale estimate and all that good stuff, and I had to email acuity, which is the insurance company that I have once I got the estimate and then the next day.
Unfortunately, I had to work from home again I did have an appointment with my doctor and we have a bunch of things that we are now going to be dealing with yeah. So then my mom and I actually went to Applebee’s that evening and then I had to go to Walgreens to pick up a prescription next day I worked from home as well, and then I had to make a consultation appointment for a surgery I need to have, And then I also this was the first day of the wild collab sale, which is right here and we’re currently in it.
There are a bunch of shops that I shopped at right away, and then there are a few today that I am going to shop as well, because I just can’t help myself plus I’ll, be doing a haul for you guys to the next day I had my Culligan service come into my home. They just come into my home a couple of times a year and maintain my unit and things like that. So they do that when I’m not home or sometimes I am home, but whatever they know how to get in, went to lunch with some co-workers and then helped out.
My HR person, with some false store apparel items, ran to Target to get some groceries and such, and then I got sick that night again, so that was no bueno. The next day I actually got my acuity check from here from my estimate so figured that out. So I ran to the bank and did my deposit. I also went to Walgreens cuz. I had another pickup and then there was a planner meet up at the maple grove library which I went to, and then I went to Olive Garden with Ryan, from a man with the plans and then today this is this morning.
I had to place an amazon order. There was just a couple things I was missing. I was supposed to be going to a brunch with the Minnesota trio, which is Ryan from a man with the plans and Jodi from life’s organized chaos. I will leave their blogs down below for you guys if you want to check them out, because you totally should how ever Jodie’s plans changed. She has been doing a ton of traveling for work and she had to leave a little bit earlier than expected.
So we were going to reschedule that, so it’s been we maybe sometime in September that we will get together. I had to drop off things at the lab and you can see what that is. Um part of the doctor thing and then today I am filming. Look at this, I can do this um. I already did my sublet guilded subscription box, my September budget. I actually just filmed, and my August spreads that’s what I’m doing right now so yay so anyway.
That is it for this article. I hope you guys enjoyed seeing all of my spreads for the month of August in 2019. I know I’m not really doing the plan with meas anymore, but I just really enjoy coming home and just filling in stuff or things I know about or whatever it’s just like really helpful for me and if you guys are interested, I will link up in the Corner my what’s, it called my planner piece of article.
I really talked about kind of the groove and what I’m doing this year and how it’s helping me quite a bit so anyway, I will leave that up there for y’all, but anyway I am going to get to publishing no uh-huh, taking this footage and putting it In my computer and I’ll probably be doing a little bit of editing this evening, not sure when this article is going to go up, but it’ll go up a fairly soon for you guys, hopefully within the next week or two, and also I need to do a Little bit more shopping today before the wild, collab sale ends so anyway, that’s it for me.
