I was a bit uneasy about recording the video. GETTING STARTED: ●●Started by gathering and testing my equipment. ●● Plan Was to go to a park and record as I walked in wooded area. Didn't go as planned🤣🤪😂 ●●I recorded outside where we have trees because it got late on me and started getting dark. Cats joined me: 😻😻😻 ■ EQUIPMENT USED: ● iPhone Air Mic ● Samsung S26 Mic ● An Aisizon Wireless Lavalier Microphone bought years ago and hadnt used. Charged it. ● AB Shutter 3 - a clicker to start & stop recording ● Octupus Tripod EQUIPMENT TESTING: ■ Ran the following tests on a new iPhone Air and a new Samsung S26. ● #1 TEST : iPhone Air Mic Quality ● on tripod on kitchen counter ● walked around kitchen & living room, ● TV music on. ● RESULTS: quality is only good close to it, heard a bit of TV sound. ● iPhone Air does have a noise Correction option for after recording. ● #2 TEST: iPhone Air with Aisizon Wireless Lavalier Mic Quality ... ● Receiver connects to phone ● Lapel Mic on my shirt. ● Walked around kitchen & living room ● TV music on ● RESULT: Sound was better than iPhone Mic & didn't hear TV sound at all. AWESOME. ● #3 & #4 TEST: Samsumg S26 Android - Repeated the 2 Tests above ● RESULTS - were very similar DECISION: Record with iPhone Air & Aisizon Wireless Lavalier Mic NEXT - PLANNING: Watched Alexa's Day 13 Video and read Alexa's email from May 8th, with the 5 Step Action Plan below to write down and use to record with Bullets. So our first videos are not to be reading the script with a teleprompter the bullets are for a guide. The Action Plan Script your next video using this method: 1. Hook (5 min) 2. Key points (10 min) 3. Sub-points (10 min) 4. CTA (3 min) 5. Transitions (2 min) Total time: 30 minutes. Then film it. Don't refine the script. Don't rewrite it. Just film. MY PLANNING TIME: ● It Took about 30+ minutes to do these on paper. ● I then Had ChatGPT finalize them so I could refer to them on my Android phone. RECORDING LOCATION:

Day 9 done — and my first video is LIVE 🙌 Stayed up way too late but zero regrets. Took Alexa's Hook → Story → Value framework and actually used it tonight — scripted, filmed and published my first real value video. For anyone sitting on an idea waiting for perfect conditions — it doesn't come. You just go. Peace from Australia 🦘

Super inspired by Alexa's Authority video a few weeks back. Posted my "honest" "Authority positioning" video this past Tuesday. .. and was totally shocked when I checked in later that day. Video got 120 views in the 1st 18 hours plus 2 new subscribers & 2 leads to my website!! My best video before that had slowly accumulated 45 views. Thank you so much Alexa for sharing your wisdom. Your shift to focusing on Coaching Authority is really resonating... your answering questions before I know I have them! Thank you!!!

Hello everyone. I have a neck injury and I have been put to rest (no computer work). So this week's call will be cancelled. Let's reconnect next Thursday. Have a wonderful rest of the week.
