Terry Brock [00:00:00]:
The world is ripe now for content creators to come in and to give their knowledge, their inspiration to solve problems, and you can do it today. Content creator to content creator, I’ve got a video for you. This one’s a little bit special, more than what I’ve normally done, and I wanna show you some of the tools I’m using, some of the opportunities you have for really building relationship marketing, building your business by using repurposing, creating content, yeah, with some AI tools. I’m gonna show you some that I like, something that I like, things that I like about it, things that I don’t care for about it. This is just us. I’m bearing my soul to you. I wanna show you this to help you out. I’m Terry Brock, and I’ve been doing content creation really all my life since I was a kid.
Terry Brock [00:00:40]:
Undergrad degree was radio, TV, and newspaper. Went on for the MBA in marketing, learned that stuff, and now I’ve been doing this with eight audio, video, television. I’ve done that in the past and all through all those areas. And now I wanna show you specifically what you can do with this because right now, think about it. If you can come up with content that solves the problems of your audience, they will then pay attention to you. They will give you the most precious resource they have, time. Giving you their time to watch what you’re doing, study it. I’ve done that myself looking at the University of YouTube, some wonderful YouTube creators that are out there that have really helped me, showing me new tools, something to look at.
Terry Brock [00:01:21]:
Others have shown me a lot when they weren’t quite so good. Okay? That’s good. We learned, and I’m not always so good. I mean, come on. Content creator to content creator, it’s all like this. So sometimes we do well, sometimes we don’t, but there are certain principles you can follow that can help you. Right now, we’re at a time where the tools are available better than ever to get your message out quickly and easily and to save a lot of time. Matter of fact, I was reading an article, article, the other day in the New York Post.
Terry Brock [00:01:47]:
I wanna share this with you. So here we are in this article in the Wall Street or not, excuse me, at the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post. And you see it says, meet the content creators harnessing AI and how they use it to make thousands per month. Think about that. People making thousands per month by creating content. This is something that you can do. You’re gonna be able to do this after you learn certain tools. I wanna give you some principles on that right now.
Terry Brock [00:02:11]:
It’s gonna help you here. Often, we’re overwhelmed with so many tools. Oh, how am I gonna get these? I’ve got all these tools and I I know like me. If you’re like me, I get out there and I think, oh, I gotta get this tool and that one and that one. They’re nerding me. What’s that? I’m like, yes, I wanna get this tool. But, no, Terry. You need to learn.
Terry Brock [00:02:29]:
Here’s a trick I found that really can help has helped me. Maybe this will help you. Find a tool that you need to know and use. Like, for instance, ChatGPT. It’s kind of a given. Most everyone today that’s a content creator has a knowledge of and does some use with ChatGPT. GPT. They keep giving us more and more goodies packed into it all the time.
Terry Brock [00:02:48]:
I love that tool. Their deep research capability came out with recently, the ability to, find out what’s going on with their deep seeking and the reasoning power that it has. It’s amazing. I don’t have time to go into all of the details in that. We can do that in another video. Let me know in the comments if you would like to. Wherever you’re getting this video, we’ve been sending out many different places. We repurpose it.
Terry Brock [00:03:11]:
Hey. I’m practicing what I preach. We repurpose this into a different areas. Let me know what you think and, if what you would like to know about in the coming video. But we chat GPT and, of course, my buddy, Perplexity. We use Perplexity a lot because it gives us access to all those different tools at the paid program level. They do just a marvelous job. Also love Grok, g r o k.
Terry Brock [00:03:34]:
Grok is available to give you dazzling pictures as well as get real research of what people are saying out there on x that ties in with x. Now you might say, oh, I don’t like x. Some people say that. Others say they like it. That’s good. I wanna hear what both sides are saying. That’s one thing that Grok is really devoted to. Honesty, just let it be.
Terry Brock [00:03:54]:
Whatever’s out there, let’s hear both sides whether I like like it or not, I wanna hear that. And also with drawing pictures, Grok is one of the best tools for that to give you realistic pictures of politicians, famous people, and different kinds of images that you want. It’s not perfect. I haven’t found one yet. Midjourney or Groc or NALI or Stable Diffusion, they’re all very good and do certain activities in ways I just go, oh my. This is nice. But I find that Grok gives a little bit of an edge right now, and they are gearing up for doing even more of that. So these are some good tools.
Terry Brock [00:04:31]:
But what you wanna do is get a couple get a good tool that you can use. Get comfortable with that and then expand to another. Don’t try to learn everything about only one and only use one tool. You’re gonna inhibit yourself. What you wanna do instead is if you can get a reasonable percentage, 75, 80, maybe 90% of what it does, great. Sometimes you might use a tool and only use 10% of it, and it suits your needs. An example of that for me is my program a program, I love the pieces, called Audacity. It’s been used for decades.
Terry Brock [00:05:05]:
I’ve been using it for decades for audio editing. It’s an open source free tool, so you can take that m p three, even an m p four, and, any other kind of audio file, put it in there, and clean it up. Cut out the umms and ers, cut out some spaces that you might want, turn the volume up a little bit, turn it down a little bit. Those are the kind of things I’m using it for, and it does a whole lot more than that, but I don’t know all that stuff. I’m not an audio engineer. So what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna use what I can. I use maybe 10%, maybe 15% of it, and I love the product. Love it.
Terry Brock [00:05:42]:
And those that are developing it and I’m working with it, thank you very much for doing that. So what you wanna do is be able to use that and then see how you can start putting these together. I wanna share with you that article from the New York Post that I saw and I thought was kinda handy here. Talks about how they content creators are harnessing AI and how they make it and use it to make thousands a month. Hey, that’s a pretty good thing. We call that really nice back when I went to business school, and when you can do that and I noticed they put some things together talking about the video that’s here. You can see here, for example, here’s the real picture, there’s the AI picture. You can blow that up a little bit more.
Terry Brock [00:06:17]:
You can see it it shows you the, reality and where we are today with this. It’s got some nice features to it. I like what they said here, different pictures of people where this person here, she could take her picture, her a video of her, feed it in there, and then take the other content that she has and make that work in beautiful ways so that now she’s multiplying her efforts. Are there concerns about safety on that? Oh, you betcha. Because somebody could take your image, your voice, the way you look, and we look at it and go, oh, is that really Bob? Bob say well, I can’t believe Bob said those words, saying words that Bob would never do, my hypothetical Bob here. We can put that in there. But what we can see is it gives you the ability to do a lot more when you have it under control. You’re able to say, alright.
Terry Brock [00:07:05]:
I want this book translated into a video with me talking, giving a message to the audience, telling them what I want them to know. That’s nice for that. We can tell right now that it’s not quite real. K. We’re at that level. But as we like to say in AI, right now, it’s the worst it will ever be, meaning it’s always getting better. Look at where we were a year ago and quite different than where we are now. Think about when we’d be okay.
Terry Brock [00:07:31]:
Let’s say, long term, really long term from now, like six months from now. It’s gonna be even better. So stay with those products, work with them, and get to know a few that you can really use and can start with and get a lot of good done. And let’s continue on with this article here. I think they had some good points here. I wanna share some of the features with you and put it in there. And, of course, the required wonderful, lovely looking young lady. Picture here with Mark Cuban who’s working with these guys doing some good things.
Terry Brock [00:07:58]:
But I think that there’s a lot of good in what they’re doing with this, how they’re using it, and they’re getting some really good principles. Over here, they talk about a person who’s involved with it. His name is Par. Par uses free and subscription based services like ChatGPT, MidJourney, CapCut, all good products, and, all he has to do is a quality check and cleanup of each step along the way. I can’t rely on all these AI tools 100%, one thousand %, but that’s only have a starting point. I like the way he says that. Parr, who has made more than 750,000 subscribers, has that many right now on his personal YouTube account, says it saves me a lot of time. A video that would take six hours to make before using AI now takes about an hour with it, and it also saves him on hiring freelancers.
Terry Brock [00:08:49]:
In the past, he’d invest around $300 per video between script writers, video editors, and voice actors. Now those roles are all automated. So when you get down to it, you think our world is changing that fast, and you can do it. Now you’ll wanna devote the brainpower to learn how to do this. Something that Gina and I do here at Star Crayving Entrepreneurs, we’re regularly doing that. Matter of fact, just yesterday, we had our regular weekly meeting showing some new tools that were there and people were loving it. Getting a chance to see how they can implement this, how they can start using it right away. We’re looking at some new AI tools for content creators, and they, it’s always wonderful to see our community.
Terry Brock [00:09:31]:
We often say people come for the content that we have, but they stay for the community as they get to know each other. And people realize, oh, you could help me with that? Hey, could how much would you charge to help me learn that thing? People are getting business that way. Other times people go, you can do that kind of presentation? I’ve got a client that could use your services on that. They make the connection, and it’s really a great way to do business with others. So you wanna be in a community like that. If Star Craving Entrepreneurs is right for you, we’d love to have you on board. If there’s something else that works for you, that’s also very good. Well, I wanna tell you a little bit more about some of the other tools that I’m using as a content creator that can help you.
Terry Brock [00:10:08]:
One of these tools is called Gamma at gamma. App. It’s a great little tool that creates amazing, brilliant presentations for you for PowerPoint presentation, keynote presentations, also ebooks, also websites, all of this. It’s pretty amazing. Matter of fact, I put in a few ideas just for this. It took me about maybe sixty to a hundred twenty seconds to tell it some of the tools that I wanted to talk about and for this so that I can show it to you. Now it’s not perfect, but it’s pretty dadgum close. I wanna show you what it does.
Terry Brock [00:10:39]:
Here it is, and I’m using a combination here. This is, key AI creator to AI creator talking to you. I’m using this right here on Keynote, and I’m also using Ecamm for what I’m doing. So I can take my picture, and with Ecamm, it lets me get pick it up like this and move it around over here, different places. I kinda like that. And then I also have Keynote that is being viewed over there on another window, So I can see with the title of this one, AI powered content creation, building business through digital relationships. That’s what we’re doing here. And it’s got a nice slide there that starts out.
Terry Brock [00:11:14]:
And then what I can do is watch this. As I go through this, it gives me the slide, the created picture that it did because I told it I wanted pictures of diverse audiences, business people helping and learning. And it gave me several of these that now I can use legally, not infringing on anyone else’s copyright. Now one thing that I wish that it did that it doesn’t do, you notice how when I came in here let me come back here. I’m just showing you. I mean, this is the the way this thing works. Here we were on this page, and then I come in here and immediately it shows you one, two, and three, trust and engagement, relationships, and marketing foundation. All of that real good.
Terry Brock [00:11:53]:
What I want though is for a build. I want that to build in because what happens? It comes in so fast. And while I’m talking about trust and engagement, and I’m saying, okay, here, 82% trust creators, etcetera, etcetera. Well, that’s good. But while I’m saying those words, I’m talking at one speed. Your brain is operating much faster at another speed. And so you’re reading number two and number three while I’m doing it. Well, here’s how we handle that.
Terry Brock [00:12:22]:
What I do is I go into, Keynote, and Keynote gives me the ability to change this so that I have a build. I click on all the titles and then tell it I wanna build. So bring in this one first, then that one, and then this one right here, the text underneath that, I bring that in. That’s a simple thing to do, real important for psychological control. I wish we could do that in gamma. That would be nice. It’s AI. And so, hey, folks at Gamma, if you’re watching this, we love, love, love your product.
Terry Brock [00:12:51]:
Give us a the ability to do a build. Similar to what we have in PowerPoint and in Keynote over on the Mac and how that works because it’s really good the way that it puts it together, but I wanna be able to do that. But it shows me what I want to do, and I did this all in about sixty to one hundred twenty seconds. Yeah. That is nice. I love, love, love this tool. And you see it goes on to the next page here. Again, a professional picture that I can use, AI developed.
Terry Brock [00:13:21]:
It works, and it shows me, okay, here’s some features that are there. By the way, it says chat GPT. And then you notice it says, taja ai. The tool actually is taja, t a j a, dot a I. And it’s a great tool. And I’m not putting down there at all. I’m just saying that would be nice to kinda tweak and fix that or give us a way to to do it. I was saying, Taja, when I gave the voice instructions, and it might have come in there.
Terry Brock [00:13:47]:
So in fairness, it might have been better if I had typed that in. Also, Castmagic, tool that I love, love, love and use a lot. And I put and also Descript. So you see, what I’m doing now is I’m able to go through this, able to look at each of the different slides that it created for me real quickly, real fast. You see how those of you make presentations, how this could help you. Yes. It all comes in at once, but with a little bit of a work on with a build, we can make it work pretty nicely. Here’s one shows me visual visual presentation tools like Keynote, like Canva, Beautiful AI, Gamma.
Terry Brock [00:14:23]:
App, all of these real good. And again, this gives me the ability to make it interesting because what I can do is I have the slide on there, then I come back here and make some comments. Your brain is going, uh-oh. Hey. There was a change in scenery. Something’s going on here. I hear from people way smarter than me, psychologists and, neuroscientists and others. They say this is because our brain goes back to the Serengeti.
Terry Brock [00:14:45]:
We go, woah, woah, there’s hustle over there in that bush. Could that be a saber tooth tiger that’s trying to eat me for lunch? And I gotta be aware of that. And so when we see something change, we get it. So what you wanna do is be able to have the tools and system so so you can go back and forth. Matter of fact, notice what I’m doing right here? I’m on the keynote slide here, then I press a button and it sends me back to Ecamm over here with a full screen. I’m in Ecamm all the time, but I’m right here like that. So this gives you the ability to control what you’re gonna do, how you’re gonna make it happen, and to do the right things. So I would say, look at something like gamma.
Terry Brock [00:15:19]:
It has some real good capabilities for you and something that you wanna look into. Because all of this is about using that technology to build relationships, to build relationships that are mutually beneficial, how you can give them information that solves their problems. They get to know you. After seeing you or hearing you a lot, I found that out when I was working in radio. I was on Family Life Radio up in Michigan, when I was a kid, 17, 18 years old. They were wonderful people. I just love them to pieces. And they trained this little kid who was making some mistakes at the time to get better.
Terry Brock [00:15:53]:
But I remember people would come into the studio to see us and they go, you’re Terry Brock? Wow. We envisioned you a lot different than that. But they loved it. They had heard me over and over saying that we’ve reached about, a million or so, a couple million people, I think. And, I was the only 17 year old kid out there doing this, but people got a chance to know you. That’s what you can do now with social media. People can watch your video. Hey.
Terry Brock [00:16:17]:
You got your own television station. They can listen to your podcast. Hey. You got your radio station. Okay. That’s, really nice. You have a TV station, radio station, and, of course, blogging. You’ve got your own newspaper or magazine.
Terry Brock [00:16:30]:
So we’ve got all of that. And our means right here with a whole lot better quality than we had when I was doing this, back in the seventies. Yeah. That was when I was doing this thing. So it was a whole different ballgame and now we can do it and it’s exciting to see it, but you gotta be good. You need to practice with it. One of the tools that I would recommend looking into is Cast Magic. Cast Magic, I’m gonna briefly mention to you here, is a tool that I use extensively for repurposing.
Terry Brock [00:16:58]:
I am able to take the audio and video that I have, an m p four file or an m p three, upload it to Cast Magic, and then it grabs that. And within just a few seconds, usually, on a ten to twenty minute video, it’s ready to go in less than five minutes. Really nice. Now it takes that and it goes even beyond that. It gives me suggested titles. It gives me some summaries. It gives me a LinkedIn post if I want it. It gives me a Twitter x feed that I can have there, a thread that you can put in there.
Terry Brock [00:17:30]:
I also put in a special chat, instruction to say put give me a Spanish summary. A lot of people listening to this speak Spanish, and those of you that are, gracias. I appreciate you watching this, being there with me. I’m working on my Spanish. I got a long way to go, but I’m loving it. It’s a fabulous language to learn. But you can get that in cast magic very easily. This is a tool that I highly recommend you look into.
Terry Brock [00:17:55]:
And, hey, if you’re interested in it and you decide to get it, I’d appreciate if you could use my affiliate link. I get a few coins that way, and you get some extra training because I’m designing training where I’m gonna have those who have purchased using my affiliate link to come over and get some extra, here’s how you get started. Or here’s that gnarly question answered for you when you get it. So Cast Magic is a tool I recommend strongly look into it to build those solid relationships. And another tool that I wanna share with you, really important, that one Taja, t a j a dot a I. Taja gives you the ability to do some amazing features when you’re working with tools in different ways. You’ve seen what we can do here with gamma. Gamma is great for taking putting it all together.
Terry Brock [00:18:39]:
When you use Taja, you’re able to kinda start at the beginning of it when you’re gonna work with it. You’re gonna be able to see how this works and what it does for you in some really significant ways. So here I am in Taja now, and you see that I’ve gone in there and I’m looking at Optimize Now. It gives me the ability to do that. And what you can do is you can bring your files in from a different, variety from, your own desktop, bring it from your device that you’re on. You can bring it into Google Docs and several other options that are there available. And here, I’m gonna get really intimate with you here showing you the actual videos we have done and put them there. Then you’ve been watching the channel, you’ll recognize these thumbnails in there.
Terry Brock [00:19:14]:
And the really beautiful thing about this is what it does I’m gonna show you right now not all the intimate details of training on Taja. This is not designed as a Taja training session. We can do some of those later. Let me know what you think. We’d be happy to do that. But I’m gonna show you some of the things that can be done with this. What I’m gonna do is I’m clicking on this and let’s go into that channel. Here we are.
Terry Brock [00:19:35]:
We just went in there. Notice what it did. Kaja came out here and it gave me a whole lot of good stuff there. Look at this. It gives me a description and I can yeah. I’ll make this a little bit bigger for you so you can see it. It gives the description so I can read that. It gives me time stamps as well as here’s some hashtags that are there as well as tags that I can use for keywords.
Terry Brock [00:19:57]:
That’s real handy. Then it gives me suggested titles for this particular one. See, number one was 100%, they say this is a good one, content repurposing secrets every entrepreneur must know. Usually, I find what I do is I’ll take what they’ve said and I’ll Terry ize it. I want to you put Terry into it. I think you need to you ize whatever you’re doing. So I’ll put that in there. I’ll use that.
Terry Brock [00:20:20]:
It does a good job with it, like this. And also, you see it’ll give me these tools over here that I can use to look at it. And then what I can do with this as well is it gives me the ability to generate a new thumbnail. Look at this. Even though I’ve got one created, it will generate a thumbnail for me. And I think this is pretty nice when you can do that with Tasha. Cast Magic doesn’t do that yet anyway. But Cast Magic does a number of other things that Tasha doesn’t do.
Terry Brock [00:20:48]:
So I find using both really helps me. And then here’s our description. We can see this on here that it gives me the tools that I want. Now what I would recommend is when you get your description, do not just copy and paste. Instead, copy, paste, and then customize. Give it your flavor, your feeling, what you wanna do with it, and how you want to make sure that this is thing is doing exactly what’s right for you in your way. Timestamps on here are very good and more tags that are available, etcetera. It gives me, of course, the transcript.
Terry Brock [00:21:19]:
There it is, the whole thing. And we put it on there. That looks really good. And then look at this. It generated a bunch of different thumbnails for me. Now these thumbnails, I think, are okay. I wouldn’t say they’re great, but I think they’re getting better all the time. And I love, love, love what the folks at Taja are doing.
Terry Brock [00:21:38]:
Thank you, folks at Taja. Really appreciate what you’re doing there. And you’ll see it gives us two different kinds. One, where it takes images of me that are in there, but then there’s the other one. Let me blow this up a little bit here. So you can see, okay, it took AI characters and created them. And you can see this one definitely is not a human being, but it’s just a, pictures that it puts together that I think are really, really good. Here’s one that’s really nice, a good professional looking, thumbnail that I could use, and it lets me put that together.
Terry Brock [00:22:08]:
By having several of these, June and I will work on here, it gives a lot of capabilities and tools that you can use. Other things that it will do is it will give you the ability to create short clips. So it might be not necessarily a YouTube short or TikTok, but it’s something that might be two minutes and thirty seven seconds or it might be five minutes twenty two seconds. You know, something like that where it’s not not necessarily a short on YouTube, but it’s a clip that you can put in there for five minutes thirty seven seconds, which people will watch and go, I like what she’s saying there. She’s done a good job of that. Where where is that? Oh, here’s the link to go and I can watch the full video now. Taja is a tool I highly recommend looking into, see what it can do for you. And I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you about some of the research you wanna do.
Terry Brock [00:22:57]:
This where you get started. I’ve been talking about gamma, great for the presentation. That’s kind of the end product. Keynote for delivering it toward the end, and then Castmagic and Taja, great tools in the end. But to get started right, now it’s better than ever, and you wanna use some of the tools. I use ChatGPT and Perplexity. I find they both give us the ability to tap into some of those really nice tools for deep reasoning and for deep thinking to go in there and do some deep research. Deep research and then the thinking model, reasoning that it has are really good.
Terry Brock [00:23:31]:
Why is that? Sometimes you can get more information when you’re going really in-depth on something. When you want to find out controversies about a given topic within industries, or maybe it could be a global issue or something that’s real hot. Here’s the issue. There’s people on this side that believe this very strongly. There’s people on the other side that believe this very strongly. I wanna hear both sides. I wanna hear what they’re saying over here, over there, those that agree with me, and those who disagree with me. That way, when I stand up as a professional speaker delivering a presentation, I can say, well, we know here in the widget industry, you’ve got an issue with those oolie wags.
Terry Brock [00:24:09]:
And they’re going, oh, he knows about the Ooliwog issue? Yeah. Yeah. It’s a b work with me on this. Okay? The Ooliwog. Yeah. And there’s others that say, yes. We like Ooliwogs. And others, we don’t like Ooliwogs.
Terry Brock [00:24:20]:
And those say, this is gonna kill our industry. Others say, if we don’t do it, it’s gonna kill our industry and I wanna know about those issues of what they’re talking about. And when you’re using perplexity, when you’re using chat GPT, you can find out a lot about that with the deep reasoning, the deep thinking. So those are tools we talk about in other forms. Stark raving entrepreneurs, we talk about it a lot, showing what you can do and giving some examples. People love that when we go into it. But you wanna take a look at those and let me know in the chat in the messages below where you can leave the descriptions. Let me or your comments.
Terry Brock [00:24:55]:
Let me know if you would be interested in that. If you are, then we can look at doing a future video for you that would help you get those solved. Hey. You get it right here and we’ll pay for the cost of it on YouTube for you. How’s that? Yeah. You’ll have those. They’re great little tools, and I recommend taking a look at them. So we’ve covered a lot of ground here.
Terry Brock [00:25:13]:
I know there’s a lot there and it can seem a little bit overwhelming, but I’m gonna reiterate something very important. If you miss everything else in the video, remember this, don’t worry about trying to get every tool out there. When a new tool comes out, don’t feel like I sometimes do that. I got I just gotta get that new one. Oh, it’s really good. You jump in there and get it. Well, okay. Sometimes you wanna do that.
Terry Brock [00:25:33]:
Sometimes you don’t wanna wait too long, but you gotta use judgment. Is this something that’s in line with who you are, what you do? For instance, when I saw CAST Magic, and I looked at that and I thought, oh, this is out. It was over on AppSumo, which I love, love, love. AppSumo is, over there doing a great job. And I saw that was available. I thought, okay, this is good, and they had the different levels, and I thought, wait a minute, Terry, stop everything. This is offered right now for a lifetime. They don’t have this all the time.
Terry Brock [00:25:59]:
This is available right now. Is this right for me? What do I plan to do in the future? For me, where I was, the tools I’m using, the kind of work I’m doing, the kind of market I’m in, Cast Magic is ideal. Now that might not be true of everyone. Everyone might not be able to say that, but you gotta decide what is right for you and then use a business decision. Here’s the key. You’re gonna put in some money. Don’t let your decisions be based on just the price that it’s going to be. In business, when I went to business school, they told us it’s important to look at the return on investment.
Terry Brock [00:26:32]:
For instance, if I said, here’s something that’ll cost you $10. You think, okay. Hey, that’s nothing. I can do it. Yeah. Sometimes you can, but also, you do enough of those, you can waste $10 all the time. Anyone here know about subscriptions that you have that you’re not using? Yeah. Okay.
Terry Brock [00:26:46]:
So that’s one way. So the cost is one thing. But if I said, okay, I got something here for you. Gonna cost you a million dollars. 1 million dollars upfront, you gotta pay to get into this deal. Are you in or out? And so you’d have to look at that and have your criteria ready to go. The answer isn’t a yes or a no based on $1,000,000. I don’t know about you, but that’s pretty significant.
Terry Brock [00:27:08]:
For, for me, that’s a lot of money. For others, might not be as much. You think of someone like Mark Cuban or Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, Bill Gates, people like that who are billionaires, a million dollars, not a big deal. Okay. You and I gotta look at. But if I found you ways and you saw the evidence that I had done that with 3,234 people before they put in a million and they got back 10,000,000, 15 million, 20 million, then you got some good evidence that it might be for you. Not necessarily, but you gotta have your criteria put in place. What is it that I’m gonna do? Who am I serving? What market am I addressing? What problems am I solving right now? What specific problems? What skills do I have? What skills do I not have? Like, for me, I am not a surgeon.
Terry Brock [00:27:57]:
I do I’m not a medical doctor. I don’t make any medical recommendations at all. Am I interested in it? Oh, you bet. I do research on that, but I go to my medical doctor, real certified medical doctor to get information and help for me. I also use chat GPT to get ideas and then take that over here to my doctor to get the ideas. Did you like my little jump there? Yeah. But we’ll take it over there, put it in like that, and get a chance to give it to the doctor to get the information. So what you wanna do is make your decisions based on business and based on who you are and where you’re going.
