- 0:17Photos industry talk and I'm testing out a new microphone so if it sounds you know
- 0:27inconsistent with the audio that you're used to hearing I apologize in advance but I'm
- 0:33gonna jump right into it and even even though I am testing you know I'm a man of experimenting
- 0:45and changing and improving and elevating I'm testing this mic but I also want to
- 0:52talk about testing, testing yourself, checking yourself because after the test it has to
- 1:03be checked.
- 1:04You can have an accountability partner where you both test each other or you test yourself
- 1:10and have them check it or a combination of both.
- 1:17You always gotta be testing yourself, testing your abilities, testing your will,
- 1:28testing your boundaries, testing your work, testing your skills.
- 1:39You know there's nothing wrong with friendly competition but you know don't put competition
- 1:47too far where you fall out of collaboration and you know arguments and fights and chaos
- 1:52start to happen but test yourself.
- 2:02How can a teacher know where you at in learning something new, the new concept
- 2:11if they don't test you and figure that out that's data and what you get in return
- 2:20is data so come up with a test once a month for yourself.
- 2:37Like my test is gonna be not being on social media at night you know though like
- 2:49close to a little before noon and then late at night like peak time for work and anything
- 3:07out there 1.30 a.m. you know I'm pretty tired I'm doing it tired studying tired
- 3:14editing tired going over clients materials and work tired you know I know when it's
- 3:23like exhaustion and stuff and it's just like okay I just need to go to sleep but
- 3:29some days I push through because I really want to get this done and while I have that
- 3:36momentum you want to push through while it's on my heart while it's on my mind
- 3:41because when I lay down it's gonna all I think about and I'm just gonna stay
- 3:45up anyway so it's just like best I just work to you know I demand of myself to
- 3:53know so test yourself test test your past knowledge you know some some things
- 4:05change as the world constantly evolves you know we got to evolve as human
- 4:10beings I know there's a lot of AI coming out but don't lose your touch
- 4:17as a human as a human being you know never lose your touch never lose who
- 4:28you are your identity your self-identity you know your self-love be in tune with
- 4:37yourself your mind your thoughts your spirit your being the universe higher
- 4:42power your brothers your sisters your family friends business partners or lose
- 4:55that identity of who you are but you got to test yourself maybe you don't
- 5:03just test yourself oh I love ice cream ten years later test yourself if you
- 5:11still love ice cream go to an ice cream contest you see if you still like
- 5:18it the same way or not I'm sure there's people who been in a hot dog
- 5:27eating contest you know pork hot dogs like that and you know they converted
- 5:34life started eating healthier and you know gaining awareness where they stop
- 5:38eating you know these things so you got to test yourself you know you
- 5:49change things change the universe change the world change many things
- 5:56change and that's a good question if things are the same do that mean is
- 6:05it still changing in a way because it's changing this navigation through each
- 6:14day each second each you know encounterment with other energies and
- 6:19people it's like adapting so is that changing it's changing the
- 6:26environment but the thing behind that is the consistency which backs it up
- 6:35and which defines it because consistency is I would say better than talent you
- 6:47know if you consistently doing the right things and you know as I'm
- 6:50consistently elevating myself rise and do these things as I do these
- 7:00things I know there's change and then after that change needs to be
- 7:14transformation and with that transformation becomes the testimony and
- 7:26what's at the beginning of testimony the test and then you get the money
- 7:32you get it when people shy from you they want to know that you're credible
- 7:39and you want to hear past clients testimonies like how what they think
- 7:43about you would have you done for them what work have you done for them you
- 7:49know versus somebody that's new and foreign or a stranger and something
- 7:55they probably don't even need but if you you know showing your proof you

- 8:14people's face you know however I respect it you know you marketing
- 8:19trying to put yourself out there I get it but okay let's just tone it down
- 8:26slightly you know you got to believe in your boundaries not only as a
