joined this free group on March 3. Last week YouTube monetized him. On March 3, a guy I never met before name Jim joined PYOB.
Free. Same as you.
When he joined, I asked what problem he'd solve first if he had a magic wand.
He wrote one word.
Overthinking.
Ten days later he joined Mindset Skool.
"This is the choice I made, no regrets. You have to decide for yourself."
April 4 he joined my mastermind. That's YouTube Sales School now.
Then he went to work.
He opened his own Skool community. He started making YouTube videos.
And I want to be straight with you, because this part matters.
It did not go smooth.
Nine videos. Five subscribers.
Most people quit right there. Honestly, I'd have understood if he did.
He kept going.
I audited his channel and told him which video to make next. Title and all.
He made it. Posted it September 18.
One week later.
243,000 views.
1,022 subscribers. He started with 5.
6,500 watch hours.
132 new leads.
People paying him inside his own Skool community.
And his channel is monetized.
That was week one.
As I write this, that video is past 450,000 views. He's at 1,800 subscribers. 280 leads.
And he already put up his next video. It's pulling leads too.
207 days. Free member in this group to monetized on YouTube.
Last week he posted this in our Wins channel.
"The numbers on the left are ridiculous. I really don't know what to think. The numbers to the right are what I'm interested in and need work."
"Brian didn't give up on me and my sometimes scatterbrain approach to things."
I appreciate that, Jim. I really do.
But I want everyone reading this to hear me.
Jim made that video.
Jim hit record.
Jim pushed publish nine times to five people and came back for the tenth.
One more thing about Jim.
The dude shows up.
He's on the group calls every week. He books his one-to-ones with me. He does what he's asked to do.
Is it perfect? No. Did he veer off the road a few times? Sure.
But he never went away.
He's not in building mode. He's not asking me what to put in his classroom or what to put on his About page.
He's focused on the stuff that matters. Getting attention. Getting people on calls. Getting known.
One YouTube channel. One Skool community. He's not trying to do 100 different things.
He just keeps showing up and doing the thing.
Some of you have been in here longer than Jim. Some of you joined before March 3.
You've watched the videos. Saved the posts. Told yourself you'll start when it's ready.
Jim wasn't ready either. His answer was overthinking, remember?
He decided. Then he committed. Messy. Scatterbrained, in his own words. Over and over until one of them hit.
Decide. Commit. Focus.
That's the mantra we live by in here. Jim actually lives it.
Look at that timeline again. 207 days.
So much can happen in a short amount of time when you make a decision and stay decided.
So what have you been sitting on since March?
Drop it in the comments. One thing, and the date you're doing it by.
I'm rooting for you. Jim is proof you can do this.
Now go.
Brian
PS: Want to know what made video ten different from the first nine? I'm breaking Jim's video down live on October 14 at noon central inside YouTube to Skool. Get Your Video Shown. The four things that get a video shown, and you leave knowing what your next video is.
