Or at least that's what I hope to be.
We always hear what we SHOULD do from our elders, and there's a million videos about people who have supposedly made it. Unfortunately it's hard to find videos of people actively doing those things -- we only ever see the finished product.
I decided that was dumb. Since I couldn't find anyone currently going through the process, I decided to document my own.

CEO Vlog 5: An update
The title says it all.
Recently things have gone pretty well. We've signed on more clients and pulled in more revenue this month than any other month. We had the goal of reaching $5k/mo in revenue and we met it, so the next goal is $15,000 in revenue. We're running ads, working more, and taking the next steps towards growth.
For now, I've concluded that it makes more sense to just post these sporadically, otherwise I end up posting a video about nothing interesting. I'd rather wait until I've done a few things that I can make a video about than try to force a video out every week.
So, until the next one...

CEO Vlog 4: Generating Leads (4K)
มุมมอง 83 หลายเดือนก่อน
Up until this point I've been doing a rather poor job of generating leads. If you've seen any of the short form videos that I've posted, you've probably noticed that this is the case and you most likely would agree. So in this video, I'm showing what it looks like behind the scenes. This is the fourth vlog like this that I'm posting, and I'm hoping to show my thought processes and the things th...
CEO Vlog Day 3: The New Game Plan
มุมมอง 334 หลายเดือนก่อน
I spent some time researching what the best way to see success is with content creation, and I've come to the realization that it's more than just camera work and good editing. Up until this point I've been putting in half the effort for the content on this channel because I haven't seen any results from it... NO S#IT! I'm hoping that my next video is going to be much better than what I've been...

Please make long form video about lead and ads
You sir inspire me❤🎉
I'm glad! Hoping people like you will stick around when things grow!
I think you are so busy that you forget to post videos
Not far from what happened! Check the new video to see
Damn that’s really interesting stuff. Stay determined if it’s really what you want to do m8.
Hey man thanks for the kind words
Hey man you might as well get a regular job for 60k a year it'll be a lot easier to scale your salary than starting a media company plus plenty of businesses need marketing so the skills you have will be useful to somebody
To be entirely honest, that's probably very possible but I'm simply not cut out for that.
How your real estate business actually work
I'm not in real estate
I think psychology may help you to gather leads
Been studying, now just implementing
Tbh you are nowhere near the point where you should be allocating time to creating employee training. Ideally just document EVERYTHING you do and make guides along the way, but you need to first get the issue of needing employees.
Check the description of my most recent post where I touch on that, because I 100% agree
@@ryantylerpayton again no hate but honestly it seems like you are focusing way too much time on the “instagram side of business” if that makes sense. I still have no idea what your business even sells, the product/service you are selling needs to be your main concern right now. Genuinely good products/services will eventually sell themselves, but you need that business to be sound before shifting attention to marketing/employees/even logistics
Again, the most recent post explain that priority number one is to generate leads and get clients. I don't really share what I'm selling here because it doesn't make sense to do that -- I'm not selling to the people who are watching the videos on this channel. The product/service has been tested for the last year, and I'm sure it's a good fit because the people we've served so far have loved the service (just not the pricing, which we've fixed). Genuinely good products and services will sell themselves, you're right... but marketing is the first step to letting people know the product/service exists before you can get clients and build a good enough business to have the products/services sell themselves. You can't have a killer product/service with professionals working behind the scenes unless you have some kind of funding behind it and/or people to spread the word. What you're seeing on this channel is just what's interesting on camera, and that's why I don't post every single day. Nobody wants to watch me DM hundreds of people and revise scripts on a daily basis, they want to see the results. Please reconsider next time before leaving completely uninformed and unsolicited advice 😂
Want to learn from someone who has experience taking businesses from $0 to $3M/mo. We can get you to $5k/mo in 7-14 days.
Explain a rough outline -- what would your course of action be, and how could you guarantee that result?
When it come to business we should have a job until the setup is done
Frankly, you're right.
Hey Man, just wanted to reach and let You know I’m rooting for your success. I had a very similar I sea for a channel a couple years ago. I’m 23 years old, I run a small furniture manufacturing business. I went independent about 6 months ago, and since then I have been averaging about 15k revenue per month and around 10k-12k profit. Ive realized very quickly that the true path to wealth and long term sustainable income, is not really found online. I’ve been doing business with very wealthy people for the last few years and NONE of them got rich off the internet. The trick is to sell something that almost Everyone needs or will be in the market for in the next 5 years. Undercut the competition to gain Market share. Love to email you a couple of business ideas that have a small barrier to entry, that will most likely be profitable within the next month, I have a small family as well, I’d love to help yours out. Here’s my email-Kimberlingtoby@gmail.com
I appreciate the kind words, but it's a key focus of mine to not get too distracted by things that seem like better opportunities. Even though you probably made it work, I believe the grass is greener where you water it. Either way I appreciate your kind words and will keep you in mind if I need to change the plan!
Do you guys want more long form videos or short form videos?
My ego Thanks You! At 72 I got a job cuz bidenomics made it impossible to start my dream biz on a teacher's pension of ($944/mo) Humbling. Doin' what I gotta' do 💪 You strengthened my self worth 🙏
Sometimes you gotta do a side quest to make ends meet. Makes for a better backstory though!
why you stopped making videos
I ended up taking a construction job, more videos will be uploaded but right now there's not much to update on Stay tuned!
why you sto making video
why you stop making videos
Just posted today that explains why. You think I should make more long form videos or short form videos?
I think more long form videos for details but short forms how the business runs
@@allinone7188 thanks for the feedback, it's looking like that's what I'll do
Hey Ryan, you are a great narrator 👍 Keep up the good work!
Hey thanks for the kind words! Hopefully you'll still think so in future videos we post -- this one is pretty old!
best hair here ngl
Lmao I just wet it and put it back. Don't worry I'll put it up in future videos
Follow Your Dream’s❤
Working on it! Follow to see the progress as I grow :)
So is this a test to see if that theory is accurate
Well.. yes and no. Truthfully it's pretty hard to just make a video that suddenly gets a ton of views. Right now nobody knows who I am and I have absolutely no brand awareness, so for me this video got a decent amount of views!
ass😊
Couldn't agree more 😊
Change the haircut please
LMAO I just don't have it up and I need a haircut. Don't worry it bugs me too. Ya know a good way to see it... not down like this is to follow 👀
Keep it up, good idea. What exactly is your business about though?
Good question! Ironically I run a social media production business. Our concepts work and there's data to back that up, but since I haven't posted consistently on this channel it hasn't taken off by any means. How do you think I should tell people this in my videos? I'm totally open to insight!
fr
oh hey i wonder who was talking about this with you lolll
(*most popular video has 2.1k*)
Yeah lol that tends to be how it is sometimes. A big part of that is because I'm still nailing down what exactly I want to focus on, but the clients that I have already have a niche and therefore can show a lot more expertise than I have.
💯

Sad thing that creativity can only give you 14 likes. Its sad that and underrated power can get underappreciated
Yeah I agree. I think the issue is that people tend to value things that immediately give a reward, and it leads to creativity being overlooked. I might actually make a video on it.
Good loop bro😃
Hey thanks I appreciate it!
Speak it King!
Hey Ryan, Interesting thoughts. I don't think that Gen Z entrepreneurs fail mostly based on education. I think it comes down to bad knowledge. No one wants to learn about what actually goes into a business. The basics on forming a company and building procedures. It isn't "sexy" and takes time to learn. That learning only comes from failure. Social media makes it look as if it's so easy to do and you can do it if you just "work hard". Yes hard work is needed, but you need to put the work into the right things. I think it ultimately comes down to constantly learning and gaining mentors to help you. You seem like you did that with your parents and your gf's parents. The second thing is grit. You will go down the wrong path and look back with an "oh shoot" moment. It's your ability to realize you wasted time and change paths that will benefit you which most people can't do. They get discouraged and are unable to get back up. Also keep up the work. You showed up onto my home page feed which means you will start showing up on other peoples as well!
Hey dude! You phrased all of that very nicely and I totally agree it comes down to bad knowledge. We saw the same thing, just seems like we described it a little differently. Ultimately I think a lack of QUALITY information is what leads to a lot of Gen Z entrepreneurs failing -- in other words bad knowledge. I also agree that determination and consistency is key in everything business related. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment!
This is true, I tried chasing after whatever trended and u didn't enjoy it, almost quit a few times, I started making content I actually liked making and I ended up doing alot better.
Yeah that's what I'm doing now too, this most recent video I dropped the rigid and professional personality and was just myself. It was a lot more mellow but it helped a ton
Hahahahaha
Glad I came across this channel.
Thank you! Hopefully you'll stick around to see what it grows in to
As a content creator I would like to say this is very true. Though once you actually starting gaining traction to your channel. You may want to increase quality in your videos. Like if you start as a shorts youtuber, you might want to try Long Form videos that may attract more people. Also don't try to spread content across several subjects, Stick to 1 or 2 things, I myself stick to Making Music and Series. Its worked better then me just making several different types of videos. Another thing is you also need the motivation to continue. I've had my fair share of low points before, but I had the motivation to keep going. You need the postive mindset to keep going. Last thing, Collaborations are a good thing, but don't make it like the only thing you do. Theres the extra advice I have, And remember "If theres a will, theres a way." - TackyTrainer2
Hey I really appreciate the input. Thanks for saying something valuable too instead of just criticism 🙌
@@ryantylerpayton np
Yeah either that or nobody watches your videos to begin with trust me I would know😅😔
Lmao that's true too
Keep it up! You got this and yes, time and hard work are the best solutions! Have a lovely day!
Hey thanks a ton for the encouragement! I appreciate you taking the time to comment your thoughts
I am also addicted....when I think I want to use my 4n for searching some study-related things, Just one or 2 only I watch for my purpose.. all the others are nonsense....I can't control my mind....but I always try to..and l like to read a book.but this tool is stopping that. Instead of reading I normal search on the internet 🌐 then again I go wrong
Well hey there's nothing wrong with using the internet instead of a book -- reading is reading no matter how you cut it. It's more of a problem when you try to use media or the internet to completely substitute your train of thought.
@@ryantylerpayton ❤🌹💚
U will find it......💟
Love that motivation......🧘♀️❤
Thanks for the feedback 😇
