Car Chronicles

Hey, Tony Gash here. Popping in now talking to you to keep me up too on the way home. It's been a long time coming and probably what that in 4 hours will be 24 hours been on the road almost 23 and 1/2 hours but I'm going to be home before that. So about a 19hour drive driving back from my son college where my dad and I drove up took 20 hours drove up and then driving back 20 hours you know with our stop stopped to eat a couple times and father's love you know I wanted to talk about that and we need more fathers because I I realize that it's a it's a lack in our community just fathers being there and stepping up and it's a tough job and I'm going to tell y'all something like I my heart goes out to the single moms because I'm I'm seeing this right now in my life and my my I my I have a son my oldest son is a pretty good kid. Like he's not a he's not a thug. He's not, you know, not like no tough guy in the sense of like in the streets smoking, drinking, cussing, cutting up, like what some women have to raise. And I have found that already my wife, she really don't feel comfortable talking to my son and reprimanding him or checking him. And you know, he always got something, you know, slick to say or smart to say to her. And he talked to her in a way that he never talked to me. And sometimes he want to get beside himself, but he know he'll get checked and he'll get put in his place. He know I'm not scared of him. He know it'll go all the way there. And I I really I think about that and I'm like, man, what if my wife was a single mom? It'll be extremely hard cuz she have me do all the dirty work. She have me share all the tough messages. And me, I'm just not a type of person to bite my tongue. You know, man, woman, or child, it don't matter who you is, what you is, what you do. I'm going to tell you how I feel. And just point blank period. But it just kind of interesting to me to see that with my son that my wife already, you know, she pretty much like, man, you tell him he'll listen to you. You say this, you say that. I'm like, man. So, my heart goes out to the single moms and it's not really a whole lot that can be done other than you really being consistent and being strict, being firm, be loving, but you got to put structure and boundaries in place at a young age. like as early as 2 years old, you start teaching, you know, clean up, clean up, everybody clean up. And you keep that going. 3 years old, like you you really when they young and impressionable, that's when you, okay, we washing our face, okay, we brushing our teeth. So when they seven, 8, nine, it's like those things are so routine. What they do in the morning is the same every day. What they do at the daycare, school is the same every day. What they do at night is the same every day. So they so structured and routine to where now you don't have to force them. You ain't got to make them. It's like taking a bath, brushing their teeth, washing their face, lotioning before bed. All that stuff is like for them it's like it's like breathing because they've been doing it for as long as they could remember to where they can't see life without that. Like they got to do it. They got to do it. They want to do it. It's who they are. And my wife is doing that with Tayen. And a lot of times I, you know, I don't get it. A lot of times I kind of be like, man, that's a lot. like like rain, sle, or snow. You got the boy taking a shower. Like we get home, get home midnight, boy, you still got to get in that shower. And I'm like, why she so regimented? But I realize what she doing is she instilling those things because she know how hard it's going to get for her when they get older. Now, my youngest, it ain't going to never be that type of situation cuz he's just a good kid in the sense of he he just, you know, he just more obedient. But I'm telling y'all, you know, go put that in place. And that ain't what this video about. I'm just kind of talking. We just a little random car chronicle rant. But another thing, the next thing I want to talk to y'all about is I'm I'm working on something. So, if you're not on my mailing list, the link should be in the description where it say join the mailing list. Join that right there. Join that list. If if you already get my my emails and you've been getting my emails about the seminar that's November 28th, then you already on the list. Um, get your life right. If you're not on the list, get your life right. Get your head on straight. Now, some of y'all could have been on the list and you like, "Tony ain't on the list no more." And it could be because your email, seeing the email, your email address, especially if you got Yahoo, it'll see it as spam and it'll just unsubscribe you. So, click the link. It may be the bottom link in the description or join my email list or something like that. You'll see it, which is different from my newsletter. different from my newsletter, but the newsletter will be be there too. Newsletter going out too. Um newsletters on Substack. But yeah, working on something, building it up, working on it, getting things together, and just really trying to go on ahead and get to that that next place in creation. So stay tuned. also the purpose arc seminar. Make sure that you grab your ticket soon as you able and dry down, fly down. If you in Florida now, you ain't no excuse now. Ain't no excuse. You know much don't come to Florida. So don't be a Florida. It's in Florida now. November 28th. And to be honest with you, I ain't going to lie to you now. If it was up to me, that's where I keep it at. That's where I keep it at. That's where I will keep it at. But need to add one more thing on here on that thing. What I was thinking about, what I'm working on. Update there. Update that there. So, grab your ticket. Last I checked it was 28 left. So grab your ticket, get on down. When you log in to the academy after you purchase and you inside the academy, look in the curriculum section, you'll see the hotel link, the reserve, your discounted room. You'll see the airports that's near that type of information there. and you will get a textbook and a workbook at the seminar. If you already bought it, then just bring it with you. No biggie. And we going to build from there. But we building on up. We are building on up. And y'all got to forgive me because I had to leave to take this trip for my son. at on Saturday and then moving him in on Sunday and then chain back on Monday. So that was 3 days I ain't get to film Saturday I might have had something go up but y'all I don't like to be inconsistent. I don't like to miss stuff when I set my mind to something just like my sub stack. That link might be in the description. Make sure you subscribe to that. It's free. I have some some of them that's paid when it's like, you know, some juicy details or some, you know, some that ain't released to the public on the paid subscription. But you ain't got to get caught up on that. You ain't got to be on the paid version. I'mma have all kind of different stuff out there for different people. And here's the thing. One thing about me, I believe in growth. I believe in progress. I believe in pivoting. So, like let's say you you join something Patreon all access membership and then I release something else that's an advancement or it's better or it's more fitting. I'm never mad with you if you cancel a membership and join something else. I'm never mad with you. And then what and what I'm going to do is if you join a different membership, then I will refund your last payment on your other membership. Except for the YouTube ones. I can't refund those cuz I don't have control over those. That's ran by Google. So understand that right there. But still growing, still pressing, still pushing. And we gonna keep making that happen till I figured all the way out. And we can really lock on in and gone to the moon. But this that time, y'all see, I'm I'm I'm focused on purpose. Yes, we still going to have our talks, you know, our love and relationship talks and whatnot, but I'm focused on purpose, focus on purpose, and I'm pushing in that space, in that area. That's where my mind is at. And I want to help as many people as I can discover their purpose. So, if you can't make it to the seminar, if you can't join the community, at the least get the book and go through and do the work. Of course, it's intended to accompany your online course and also a uh oh, I hope that ain't leave nothing in here. a online course and also a uh for the seminar. So, I didn't put all the different examples and all the different scenarios and all the different things and stuff like that in a put all of that in the uh textbook because it's intended to be taught. you know, separately. So, my daddy call me again. I'mma answer. He probably calling check on me. He might not know I'd be working. But, um, if he call again, I'll answer and film another video. I don't want him to be worried about me. You know what? I could have kept my computer open to send him a text message. Sure. Probably could do that. Send him a text message. So, we going to be making this thing here happen at this time because you see the world that we living in. You see how crazy things are when you hear certain people talking on the news. You know, those certain individuals be on the news and and then these podcast and you know, and the thing about it is it's like some people they just want to be famous and so they just talking. They they running their mouth. They just talking. They want to be famous. They want to be known. That's their goal. That's some people go and that's their only goal. That's their only focus. Y'all forgive me. And so, you know, you got to realize that can't listen to everything. I was looking at uh the guy um they had the earn your leisure thing and they had the guy and who do the little tonight's conversation. He was talking about how his uh seminar generated $20 million and sold $300,000 tickets. And I say, "Look at that. How the devil work." Like here's a here's a event that ain't pushing nobody towards their purpose. Ain't helping nobody live a better life. Ain't helping nobody be productive. Ain't helping nobody do nothing positive in their life and generated $20 million in ticket sales. And that's where the devil working at. That's where he working at. Y'all forgive me. I was just I'm texting my daddy in from my computer. He was just checking on me, make sure I'm good driving, letting him know I'm filming. And so that's where the devil working at. And and that's going to be, you know, that's going to be those oxymorons, you know, those type of things to where it's like you see a guy who is was said to be by some of the other people on the show said to be out here doing this and that, but getting quote unquote rewarded. But the thing about it is is people will assume that people like me will be jealous. And the thing about it is it's like when I really think about it, I'm like, man, I don't want to be famous. I don't want to be known like that. I want to be purposeful. I don't want to meet 300,000 people. I don't want to sell 300,000 tickets. I don't want to be on the road all the time away from my family. So, that's what I'm focused on, what I'm creating, what y'all going to see. What y'all going to see, what I'm working on is the balanced life. What people say is impossible. A balanced life. That's what I'm working on. I'm working on be a being able to be home with my family. and still live my purpose. That's what I'm working on. I'm working on balance. I'm working on boundaries. And I'm going to tell you, these folk be on here, you know, they be listening to my videos and they be they be teaching on it, too. They be listening and teaching on it. Now, don't get it twisted. And uh let's put that in there. And that what you got to realize and understand. And you have to get to a place to where you so happy with your life, you wouldn't trade places. But I'm going to tell you the key to being happy with your life is being in your purpose. If you're not in your purpose, you always going to compare yourself. You always going to want what somebody else has if you're not in your purpose. You got to be in your purpose. And if you in your purpose, you going to be totally fine. You're not going to worry about, and here's the thing that I need you to understand. When you in your purpose, you could work a full-time job. You could be on corporate working fulltime, but because you know when you going home, when you go home and on your days off, you going to be working in your purpose. You at the job and your job could be volatile. Your job could be toxic. Your co-workers could be toxic. And you at the job just And everybody like, "What you happy about? Why you over there whistling?" And you over there whistling while you work, whistling while you twerk. And they like, "What's going on?" And it's cuz you know you going home to your purpose. And I'm going to tell you something happened with me on my job. I'm on my job. I told myself probably year two I say I'mma only be here five years and I'm up out of here. So I'm gonna be here five years now. And and I just spoke that. I just spoke that and I believe it's power and speaking things. I didn't know how I was going to get out of there in 5 years. I had no clue. But I said I'm going to be out of here in 5 years. And then I I I was putting one foot in front of the other. I was pitching myself every day on Oprah.com, Tyronbankshow.com, CNN.com. I'm pitching myself every day. I ain't know how I was going to get on there. I didn't know if I if I was going to get on there. But guess what? I got on all three of those outlets. CNN, they were just re-showing pieces of the of the Oprah show, but I got on all three of those outlets. Also got on TBNN. pitch myself TBN four globally televised shows back to bite back to bite no publicist no manager no assistant no college degree going out there telling my story and so that's what I want you to realize and understand is like it's possible and then guess what I was able to leave my job March 13 2011 May 6 would have made 5 years. May 6, 2011 would have made five years. So I beat my goal March, April, May. I beat my goal by two months. By two months. Now, how in the world did that happen? And I'm going tell you, I didn't force it. I I didn't walk away from the job and like go live in a shoe box, go in a shelter and just leave the job cuz I said I was 5 years. No. My friend came to me and say, "What it's going to take for you to go to the next level?" I said, "I got to get out this job for one year." He said, "How much you make?" I said, "20,000." He said, "I give you 20,000 for 20% in your company." I said, "Man, give me 35." He said, "All right, I give you 35 for 35%." And I was working on Mrs. Wright. And I wanted to get a book deal for it. I ain't realize how early I was. I wanted to get a book deal for it. And I met a lady who used to work in publishing, and she charged me $2,000 to do a book proposal for me. Guess what? I know how to do a book proposal now. So you so you want to get you a publishing deal. Hey, I want 2,000. Yes, sir. Re Bob, I'm going to help you like Karen helped me. Her name was Karen. She was a sister now, but her name was Karen. Karen Thomas. And she charged me 2,000 for that book proposal. And she connected me with an agent. But the agent was a dog mom. So she and she was a a white female dog mom and I don't she could have been lesbian. I don't know. But when I showed her the book Mrs. Wright, she was like, "I don't understand it. I don't get it." She was like, "I don't really think I'm the agent for it cuz I don't really understand the purpose of the meaning of the book." Like I guess she was kind of like she was kind of like why are you writing this book? Like how does a young black man know about what it takes what a man want in a woman? She probably was confused and I don't think she would nobody wife. So she probably was like man I ain't even miss right. So I end up self-publishing. That was really amazing cuz I self-published so I ain't have to get no lot of scrutiny and that became my bestselling book. It's on Amazon still to this day. Mrs. Wright, it's a purple and white cover. Just make sure the publisher say soul writers, but go and grab your copy when you get time now. But you don't need it more than the purpose art. And just like that, he he had gave $2,000 to pay Karen. So the check he wrote me, I still got the picture of it in my phone. It was $33,000. And I guess he just had a bank account full of money. I mean, he come from money, but he wrote me a check from his name, from his account, $33,000. He was 25 years old. I was 27. So, I just never in a million years would have assumed that a 25y old would have $35,000 sitting in his account. But I guess he hadn't got a release at 25 and he was married. So, I guess he had got a release from his trust trust fund and that blessed me. And guess what? He had a lot more money to go around cuz he continued to help me. And none of the money really went to my business or my brand. It was just really financial support just like business loans kind of. Yeah. Like like loans. And it really just was to help me help me pay my condo, pay this, pay that. You know, he just was looking out for me. And that was all God. That's why I know the purpose arc and what I'm doing today is all ordained because think about that. What are what what is the likelihood somebody you went to high school with come and invest 35,000 into your business and then loan you hundreds of thousands and do a lifetime deal with you and then bring in their family to support you because the family fund funds are beyond their own personal funds. What is what what what's what's the odds of that? Only God could do that. Only God could do that. And so, you got to realize that your purpose, and that's what we that's what I'm going to be working with you to help you discover. Your purpose is God ordained. That's where you going to find the most favor in your purpose. All that other stuff, all that what you want to do and all that right there. You want to knit, you want to sew, and all that. Can you turn it into purpose? Can what you want to do be done purposefully? Can you do it in your purpose? That's what that's what you got to figure out right there. If you could do it in your purpose, okay, if you can't give it the purpose, and that's what we going to go through in the seminar. That's what we going to go through in the course, in the community, different things like that, different things I'm working on. So stay tuned, keep up with the messages and I'm going to show you because it's a lot of people talking. It's a lot of people making money. It's a lot of people doing things and appearing to be making things happen but not living their purpose. And if you're not living your purpose, then what are you doing? If you ain't living your purpose, what you doing? What's the point of what you doing if you ain't living your purpose? And that's what a lot of people don't understand. If you ain't living that purpose, now you living and dying as a social security number. And that's what you can't do. You can't live and die as a social security number. You want to make sure that you pleasing unto God. You want to make sure that you pleasing unto God. That what you want to make sure of that when God look at you, he could see that you have done what you supposed to do. that you have lived the life that you was called to live. That what you want to make sure of. Now what they got going on here? The police don't come up here. Oh. Oh, okay. Gas station open. They coming up here for they like Boy, this man got the diesel. $520. Want me to hole punch? Get my little something. Get on to the house. See, I just don't want to have to gas up the next time I get in here. Hold on. want to be able to get in and get on going, get going where I got to go. And guess what? Right back to work tomorrow. Getting home late. Got to be back to work and and gone again Wednesday from a sister-in-law wedding. Wednesday to Friday. Me and my wife gone. So listen to me. It's about that time. It's about that time. And you got to start the tune. Now stay tuned to what I got for you in a couple of weeks. But got to get on the mailing list. So if you ain't on the mailing list, you ain't going to know about it. But stay tuned cuz this right here going to be next level. And I want you part of it. Going to be major. It's coming. So listen to me. I ain't going to fill this thing all the way up cuz this one here like to overflow. Remember this one. It like to overflow. already know your mo BP. This next season of your life have to be the most intentional season. The most intentional season that you've ever lived in. It has to be more than you ever done, more than you ever been. And I'm going to tell you something. This one thing I don't like. One thing I do not like is being more successful than you. I don't like that and I don't want you. And when I say successful, I also mean more purposeful. And I know that sound funny. Tony Tony always bragging. He always bragging. What you mean most success? me would have said, "I don't want to earn more money than you." I don't like that. I do not like that. I want us to be able to work together and to be able to say, "Hey, we on the same level and we both grinding." Get this thing on here going. I want us to be able to say, "Hey, we on the same level and we both grinding." If I want to do me a yacht retreat, I want to have people in my ecosystem in my network that can afford that yacht retreat. Next next year, next June, I'm doing a Malta retreat. Retreat to Malta. That might be the purpose art purpose retreat. Tapping into your purpose, stepping into your purpose. But we vacationing, having us some good conversations about our purpose next June. I think it's June 13th to 20th or something like that. 14th, 21st. So stay tuned. But something like that right there, you know, just for your room and your excursions and all of that is three $4,000 before your flight. And so guess what? You got to be stringing things together. You got to be working. You got to be grinding. You might have to have your little second stream of income, but that takes focus. And so even with myself, like I want you to understand like what I'm trying to do and who I'm trying to become and what I want to accomplish. It's going to require that I get out of my comfort zone. And it's hard for me. Even having been fulltime for the last 15 years, it's still hard. It's still out of my comfort zone. I'm still scared. I'm still shy. I'm still uncomfortable doing what I have to do. And then I heard this quote today and it was talking about that a lack of focus is a form of cowardice or something like that. They were saying cuz you afraid to focus on one thing and go all the way in cuz you're afraid to fail. You're afraid to put all your eggs in one basket cuz you're afraid to fail. Me personally, I'm not afraid to fail at anything. It's just I get bored by doing one thing. That be my issue. I don't like doing one thing. Like I I like to balis. I like to do all kind of stuff. I be I like to have fun. I be having fun and I like to tap all my gifts. But I realized eventually I'm going to have to grind. I'm going to have to focus on one thing and put more time and energy and effort into that one thing. Now what's going on over here now? Well, they done lost control. Uh-oh. Oh no. They just kind of pulled off the road. I'm like, man, what they did? Thought thought they had them wrecked. And so that come with the territory and you got to realize and understand that you going to have to bet on yourself and you going to have to look and you going to have to say, "Hey, this something right here what I want to do. This what I want to do. This what I want to make happen. And I'm fa put everything into it. And I'mma tell you something. I'mma tell you something. Y'all going to get sick of me. You going to get sick of me pushing you into purpose. But as sick of me as you going to be, you going you going to see an example of what you need to do. I'mma lead by example. And then what you're going to realize is, oh, Tony keep bothering me keep bugging me about this particular thing and I'm sitting on Facebook and I got a thousand friends on there and I'm not bugging them about what I need to be bugging them about. So the same way Tony bugging me, I'm f to start bugging these people. And I'm f to have a hundred of them in this right here, what I'm working on, what I'm trying to do. And I'm going to give you the blueprint now. I'mma show you the blueprint and I'm going to lead by example. And you're going to see it. You're going to see it. And you're gonna be able to look and see and say, "Hold on. Hold on now. Hold on now. Tony got going on now." And he doing this right here. Okay. Boom. I'm f to I'm f to set my goal. Fa to set my goal for going to set my goal for Bling Blau. 100 people. 100 people in my community. Guess what your community might be? Got to look at what you needed to be. You may you might need to you might need to say, "Hey, okay. I made 4,800 a month. Bring home 4,800 a month." So that mean I need my community on teaching whatever it is you teaching. crocheting, meal prepping, line dancing, whatever it is you teaching. I need a 100 people at $48 a month. Or you may say, I want to make it $24. I want to make it more affordable. All right. Now, you need 200 people then. Well, the system, the site taking the site taking x amount of percent. So, okay. Well, I need I need such and such. Then I'mma need instead of instead of instead of 200, I'm I'mma need 220 people to hit my goal. But then guess what? You hit that goal. You showing up one hour, two hours a week, doing your call. It take you a year to hit your goal, but you posting your flyer. You posting your tips. You posting your information every day to your Facebook or to your Pinterest or to your Tik Tok, to your YouTube, whatever you using. And now you got those people in your community. So now you making what your job pay you. So what you take and do is you do that for 6 months to a year. You working your job. You living just like you've been living. Your job pay your bills. The money you making in your purpose. You stike that up. You got you got it in a money market account or something where you ain't losing no money but you gaining a little bit of interest. 4%, 5%, 3%, whatever it is, gain a little bit of interest. So now after a year, you done figured out your purpose. You done figured out your community. You done figured out your offering, your product, your service. You done figured it out. And now you got a year worth of income sitting in the bank. Now you ready for that two week notice because guess what? Your job always take you back because you're an excellent worker. You're an excellent slave. You're an excellent workerbe. You're an excellent indentured servant. Oh, they'll always take you back. And if not, it'll be the a competing company that'll take you. They'll love to have you. Oh, they love to poach the the talent of their competitors. So when you go to them and say, "Hey, I used to work for such and such." They like, "Oh, yeah. Come on. You ain't even got to finish this interview. We We just want to be able to say they stab leaving them to come to us. We f to put that on the billboard. Yeah. Come on over here. Then boom. So guess what? You can walk away from that job. Give them that two week notice. You got a year worth of savings put up. So now you just cut yourself a check every two weeks. You cut yourself a check and just like that. Hey, if you got to this point in the video now, want to see who actually listening and paying attention, put I made it in the comments so I can see if y'all notice. You probably got the notification. I hearted your message when you put the I made it. All the ones I seen, if I ain't see yours, forgive me. It might have got filed or it might have got put up. You might have commented after I was already done. But y'all, I'm tired. So y'all forgive me if I say peanut butter jelly oil sandwich or something crazy and you like what the world Tony talking about starfish street sign and just how how you sleepy get delusional. You just be saying anything. I hope I don't say nothing inappropriate. And so now you got a whole year and you just paying yourself every two weeks. See, I'mma tell you the mistake people make. They on their job. They on their job and they taking trying to make sure I ain't run over that plastic. They be on their job and they take and make money outside of the job and they spend all the money outside of the job and and this what they forget. You didn't have that side money before. So don't spend all the money to where you got to keep the job. Put the money up. Cuz now when you put the money up, now you creating a savings that's going to help you get off your job. That savings help you get off your job. So now you able to walk away. But people, they'll go and oh, I'mma take this money. It's different if you using the money to pay off student loans. pay off credit card debt or what have you. But the other part, you got to realize which one you want more. To pay off debt that if you defaulted on, they can write off that if it got bad enough, you could file bankruptcy and you paying off debt that you got a 1% interest rate, 3% interest rate. Even if you got a highest rate on your credit card, it's like, yeah, you want to attack that debt, but it's like, what can you earn? I listen to a guy and he was talking about his, you know, his little situation that he done set up and he earned basically 7,500 hour. So he give an hour and a half a day. He earned 7,500 hour based on the number. So what is that return? That return is insane. So now that he got this insane return, it's like you out earning whatever the interest is on your debt. So a lot of time people be such a slave to debt that where they'll stay stuck in a dead end job telling themselves, "Oh, I got to pay off this debt instead of taking and investing in their gifts and scaling." Cuz see, when you scale, and I learned this early with like online courses, I'm like, "Okay, it take me three hours to shoot this course." But because I've posted every day for the last 10 years, because I've posted every day for the last 10 years, I've built a audience who know me, love me, and trust me. So, I take three hours, I shoot this course. I make I make $10 an hour. So, let's say I made $10 an hour at this time when I got started. So, 3 hours will be $30 that that course cost me to make. But when you're working for yourself as a consultant or whatever, they say take your hourly pay and then multiply it by three. So, let's so that mean I make $30 an hour. I should be charging $30 an hour as a as a consultant if I make $10 an hour on the job. So now 3 hours 3060 90. So even as a life coach the cost of that course is $90. And so and that's because you now could shoot the course right from your laptop with a webcam and a mic. So now here you go. You film the course. $90. The course is teaching something that people can apply and make money off of it. So, back to crocheting. Let's say you teaching, you do a crocheting course and you crocheting and you selling your crochets to your neighbors, to your friends, to your family, to your whole community. You also selling on Etsy. So now your crochets is earning left, right, and center. And so when you create the course on how to crochet, you're giving a hobby and a pastime to potentially millions of people. So, if they really want to learn how to crochet and you charge $197 for the course, $97 for the course, whatever you charge, they going to figure out how to make it happen, how to make it work. Whatever you charge, they going to figure it out. And and that's the thing. It's like what a lot of people don't realize is you can mess around and have as many people at $197 for the course as you will for $97 because people say, "Hey, it must be worth more." or because she teaching it by hand live and in full effect when she could have had AI do a transcript and then put that into the generator and have a AI chatbot just reciting the stuff from chat GPT. But she ain't do that. She shot it herself. She taught herself out of her own mouth. So therefore, boom. Voila. So now what can you do? You can take and charge for that course. So let's say you charge $197, $200. The course cost you The course took and cost you $30 worth of your time. Paying yourself as a consultant, $90 worth of your time. You sell one course, you've doubled your money. You sell that course in a week or in a month. Now your return is far greater because a return is based on 12 months. So if you take that course and you sell it for 90, it's $30 technically, you sell it for $60 in in a 12 month period, you flip your money, you got a 100% return. But you sell that same course in one month. Now instead of 100% return, what is that? It's like a 1200% return cuz of how fast you sold it. So that what I want you to understand. And that's that's an example that actually can work with the crochet, but it it's seen as boring. It's seen as boring. It's seen as, you know, unsexy, unattractive. But that's something that really can pick up and could take off. And here's the thing, you crochet in your sleep. Like you, it's come so easy to you. It's old pastime. You can do it without thinking about it. So now, guess what that means? That means it's easy money because now you can film the course with ease without getting stressed. Upload the course, use different thumbnails, different, you know, course creators, boost the course on Facebook, meta ads, and all you got to do boom, sell a few courses and you profitable. So that what I want you to think about, realize and understand. Get that in your spirit. I'mma stop at an hour, y'all. Cuz I don't know what I'm saying. I can't even recall or remember what I'm saying. I'm so tired. Just got to pray for me. Got to get all the way to that house. And the crazy thing about it is my daddy did all the driving. I drove probably 4 hours out of the 20. And then this this hour here to get from his house to my house. So that's you know that right there amount of time. Five 6 hours I probably drove. We drove the rest. So listen to me. Get this in your spirit. Get that understanding. Realize and understand what it's going to take and know that it's all possible. A lot of people don't think it's possible, but it's all possible. And guess what I'm about to do? I'm about I'm about to I'm setting the goal for what I'm working on, what I'm going to be offering, what I'm going to be doing. I'm going to push it. Push it harder than ever because I realize it's purpose. It's my purpose and it's purposebased. And I also realized that I really don't push like that. It's a lot of lot that I could be pushing, a lot that I could be sharing. And and I realize I don't share it on the level that I could or that I should. And that's what I'm going to be working on. And I want you to work on that, too, because nobody expects it from you. Nobody expect you to be great. Nobody expects anybody to be great. Nobody expects you to write a book or to write another book. Nobody expects you to get attract the love of your life. Nobody expects you to be great. That's why mediocrity is so common. Nobody expects greatness. But knowing that and understanding that, that's what you got to pursue in every area of life. So listen to thing real now. This thing ain't real. It ain't easy, but it's possible. Very doable. Got to be willing to make it happen. So, the week of the 17th, keep your eyes open. Got something special for you. Be grinding. I'll be releasing something here soon for you. Keep your head up. Keep your eyes open. Y'all gone to an hour. Came this far. I'm out here on this good road by myself. And y'all, you know, blessed and highly favored by the Lord. So when you see me holding my phone or whatnot, just understand I'm in a position to where I could talk as if you in the car with me and where I'm holding the phone is just as if I was talking to you and I'm out here driving. Ain't really nobody out here. But I am getting tired, so I got to stay locked in and focus. I might have to get on off of this and crank up some music or something. Crank up some music that that uh want to make it worse eating or something like that. But hey, this Tony Gask all the important links in description. Make sure when you watch these videos, you spend some time with them links in the description and see see what you need. See if anything of benefit. That's where you going to find coaching sessions and things of that nature oneonone. We rebuilding right now. We rebuilding. Everybody that was on my mentor.life, I paused you. I paused your subscription and we working on rebuilding it. So stay patient with because it got to be uh rebuilt. I was about to say it got to be Tom from MySpace that rebuilt it. Now you know I'm delusional. Know I'm delusional or not. What I was going to say is now you have AI assistance to help you code and to help you build stuff. And I know y'all be messing around with them little sites and stuff they advertising on TV, but when you mess with it as you see it still be other little loose ends you got to fill out and be able to speak that language of that coding that code machine. make sure it's doable. But hey, this Tony Ges. I'm on the home stretch. I was just thinking I'm so tired. Go ahead and get some rest. And I'm going to tell you about my uh phone boundaries that I set up. I ain't really get to talk to y'all about it, but being out there in Sedona by myself taught me a lot about myself. Learned a lot. Got to revisit myself. Got to meet myself. Man, I'm feeling real effects of this here sleepiness cuz I sure forgot what I was about to say. But y'all, I'm just I'm I'm holding on to your nine right now cuz I'm like I'm so close to being home and kind of falling asleep. So y'all forgive me. Like, man, Tony, you holding us on here. But you know, like sometimes you get so sleepy, you could just blank out and not even realize you done blank out. I got a homeboy. That's how he is. Just blank out as soon as right after he eat. Especially we stop to get something to eat and he driving. Oh, he going to sleep on that road like his body just go to shutting down. of what I'm trying to avoid. But back to what I was saying, if you are a aspiring, if you're aspiring coach or consultant and you were on my mentor.life and you let it go, make sure you get on back on there and we get this new build up. Make sure you get on back on there on my mentor.life. Man, I've been on this highway forever. My goodness, it's a long old trek. Hey, like where's my exit at? But rebuilding it going to be sleeker, smoother, nicer. So, make sure you get on on there cuz as you can see, I'mma be marketing it every day. We going to make that thing happen. Get that word out there. And if it could mess around Oh, Lord. Okay. If it could mess around here, y'all forgive them for trucks out here. They little lights on. They could mess around and scale, mess around and get blessed. be fortunate enough to get on out there and get even 10% the size of Better Help and Talk Space. be the premier place for mentors to go sign up and create an account and also a a clients to go book a session with a coach. be a beautiful thing. Y'all holding on by a thread. Tony, you shouldn't be driving that late. Should be driving like that. I wasn't on here talking. Ain't no telling where I have to pull over at. I was gonna get a hotel in my daddy's city, but I just felt like I could go on make the trip. Yeah, I had to go on make it. Hey, I'm real proud of this Sprinter. We I'm about to see how many miles I I kept the miles on. We at 2,370 miles. It's going to be more than that. So, and I ain't have I ain't keep all of it. So, we probably at probably closer to 2400 miles that me and my dad drove. Yeah. 2369. So, that's 20 2400 miles. We drove up there and back. And you know it was a good time too. Good experience. We me and my dad I let him listen to a lot of YouTube videos that I be listening to. He listen had a good old time. If y'all can hear, I had left my window time. iPhone is amazing is with the update where you can hit the pause. I used to couldn't do that. Only thing I could close out of the camera and come back to where I paused, but it at least let me pause for a second and then I could hit the pause button again and start back recording. But when I tell y'all I'm a delusional level of tired and by 3:00 a.m. we we got out on the road 6:30. That's 3 and 1/2 hours short. So 24 - 321 20 and 12 hours. That's crazy. Oh, and I was going to say, you know, we dropped our son off at college and he was like, "Oh, daddy, you going to miss me." And it's and it's like, "I'm going to miss him." But we talking to family chat so much, you know, he write every update, everything. And today he in school, he's um an hour and 40 minutes outside of Pittsburgh. So, if any of y'all videographers in Pittsburgh, he's in John's Town, looking for me a videographer for his games to go kind of position yourself and get in a position where you could record his game. So, y'all in the Pittsburgh area, y'all let me know. or if you in an area closer to John's Town, let me know cuz I'm want to hire somebody to record all his games to make sure he got everything recorded and he don't miss no no highlights. Got to get that situated. But I was going to say he absolutely loved it today. Yesterday he was tired, so he was grumpy and he was complaining. And then today after getting him some rest and having a full day, he called us. That boy was so excited. So excited about that soccer scrimmage he did, how well he played. Was super hyped. I say that to say got a child going to college soon. It's going to be all right. And he would come talk to us every day. Sometime he'll come in our room, be in there 45 minutes, an hour. Never seen no child be that close to their parents as a fullg grown adult, but not old enough to be considered old. like Lord, I'm right here knocking on the door of my house and still falling asleep. Y'all, thank you for them prayers. I was just thinking it's like if something did happen to me while I'm driving, I wouldn't you wouldn't even know it cuz I wouldn't get to upload the video. That'll be awkward. We got also um Destiny now y'all we we still marketing. We marketing. We pushing that thing now. So y'all give us a little bit of time. I said if if [snorts] you get the funds, if you blessed enough to do it, do the year program. Don't do the weekly or just stay on the free cuz you can't actually do everything. You could do everything pretty much on the free, but stay on on there. And what I'm looking for is a couple of models in the sense of, you know, you willing to take screenshots of your page on there so that I could post a real person versus having to post like a AI rendering. I could post a real person's profile. So, if you ain't shame or shy and you done took care of your profile and it look good, then reach on out to me and let me know you would like to be a model. And what we'll do is, you know, pay you like $10 every time we post it to the to my story or to Instagram or what have you. But hey, this Tony Gasking pretty much the made it to the house. I might as well go to hour and 15 since I'm already in the neighborhood. I'm delusional. Starting to see things. Look like Bigfoot running out the woods into the street and still got to go home and get all ready for bed and stuff. Being here hurt. Hey, this a grind. It's 3:00 in the morning. I had to wake up at 6:00 a.m. Three more hours will make 24 hours I've been up straight. Son don't understand that labor of love. Boy, they don't they don't understand the kids don't be knowing. They don't realize all we sacrifice as parents. They are real live. Yeah. Hey, I'mma tell y'all something. Another little lesson. It's crazy. Now we get lessons all the way through here. As you see how I'm shooting this video impromptu. It's dark. It's not polished. It's really, it's a video that push away every single person that ain't supposed to be here. Every person that ain't supposed to rot with me, that ain't supposed to benefit from what Lord gave me to share, they can't hang. They cannot hang. And I thought that was somebody walking. That was that's a stationary mailbox. How delusion delusional I am. It can't hang. You got to realize that like I see grown men and women, you know, checking out of the things that you do for self love. Everybody can't do it. Oh, what's today? Oh, man. I thought that was my trash can out. That's my mailbox. Boy, I'm seeing things. But hey, God bless you. Keep your head up. I got to get off of here anyways cuz I got to be able to lift up my garage. But good talking to you. Oh, my mother-in-law here. this old I thought that my son car, but that's my mother-in-law car. I'mma tell you something. It's been a blessing. You know, I I bought my mother-in-law a Mercedes Benz C-Class Cash and then gave her another convertible, C-Class convertible and let her sell the other one and put the cash in her pocket. And that's my mother-in-law, you know, not my biological mom. And I say that to say, you know, that's been a blessing for me. But I was able to do that by being in my purpose and doing what I'm put here to do. Nothing is going to work like your purpose. Nothing is going to be as fulfilling as your purpose. So, I want you to take that with you. Remember that and make up in your mind that you going to set out to do what you called to do. But hey, this Tony Gaskin, God bless you. Get on in this house. Keep your head up. Keep going. And we'll be in touch.
