hello and welcome back to on the bucket
today I'm going to talk to you about the
system for success welcome to our
channel if you enjoy learning about
reptiles and having a good laugh what
are you waiting for hit that subscribe
button
smash it smash it smash it right now and
don't forget to hit that notification
down okay nice so basically if you want
to be successful at anything you're
going to need a system if you don't have
a system you won't have success so let's
talk about what that is what what does
that really mean it means that like if
you don't there are some people that are
waiting for things to happen oh you know
no one notices this no one notices that
oh if only I was Brian bar truck if only
I was snake discovery
oh they got featured on snake discovery
they got featured on Brian bar Chuck and
now they took off oh no one notices me
this this sucks it's terrible yeah
that's how most of us are most of us
feel that way so then you have to say is
that going to be why I can't do it are
you going to continue to make excuses
for why you can't succeed or are you
going to come up with a plan if you come
up with a plan as long as you it slowly
get better that's all that matters you
don't need to do super amazing and
usually the things that are built slower
will last longer and they'll be built
better so just to kind of put things
into perspective or give you an example
I decided to start making YouTube videos
I decided that last year now last year I
zero subscribers basically now I have
about 350 it took me a year to do that
is that a lot there's another there's
another channel I know that just had
like eight thousand followers so it's
just like they're doing a better job
than me probably or people like that
person more and that's good for them and
there will always be people doing better
than you there'll always be people doing
worse than you so don't worry about what
they're doing focus on what you're doing
say I'm gonna do this and I'm going to
succeed no matter what that's kind of
the attitude that I tried to have so
I've never really done this type of
stuff before so I just decided I'm gonna
do one video a week so for 2019 I did
one video a week and near the end of
2019 I decided I'm gonna start doing two
videos a week and now usually I'm doing
about three videos a week I tried to do
a video on Thursday on Sunday and on
Tuesday and that's definitely helped
like you you have to think of it like
this when you're doing YouTube videos
don't think about it like you're doing
it for yourself you are doing it for
yourself but think of it like this
you're working for YouTube the longer
you get people to watch YouTube the more
YouTube will help you then YouTube will
work for you when YouTube sees that
people are watching your videos longer
then they're gonna share it with more
people and that's basically how it ends
up working so for the past year I've
been studying YouTube probably more than
anything else because how am I supposed
to see if Cee'd on YouTube if I don't
understand how it works so it's the same
thing with like anything like I've
decided now I want to start working out
today I'm on day 23 so I'm doing
basically a 30 day challenge and then a
60 day challenge and then a 90 day
challenge but if I don't get up and do
it every day nothing's gonna happen I'm
just gonna keep my belly and eventually
the bellies gonna go but I'm not worried
about it I'm just doing what I have to
do to get there
so there's something I like to call the
snowball effect
okay it starts off very small and slowly
it rolls and if that snowball starts
rolling down a hill for you it has to
get bigger there's no way that it can't
get bigger because it's gathering as
it's going down but if you don't push
that snowball as small as it is down a
hill it's never gonna roll it's never
gonna grow it's never gonna get bigger
and if it gets stuck somewhere you know
or that's the end of the hill that's as
far as it's going so it's like you have
to constantly you have to keep going you
have to you have to see where you're
gonna be and where you're gonna go if
you not like imagine that you're gonna
do very well under you will know don't
imagine do something make something that
works for you so I moved out of my home
when I was 8 19 years old and I took
care of myself from the time I was 19
basically tried to pay them all my own
bills do everything for myself so that
taught me hey if I don't make enough
money I'm not gonna be able to pay rent
so the most important thing was always
my rent if I have enough money to pay
rent then I have enough money to do
whatever else but before paying rent I
can't do anything else I can't have any
fun so by the time I was 25 I thought
I'd open a hair salon when I was like 22
but it didn't happen till I was 25
because it wasn't till I was 25 that I
knew I'd be able to pay the rent if I
could pay the rent then I could succeed
some people go into hair salons like
hair salons is a business that lots the
time fall apart but lots of people say
oh I'm gonna open a fancy salon in
Yorkville and people are just gonna be
driving in here they're gonna be coming
in so they opened a fancy salon in
Yorkville and no one comes in why
because no one knows them so it's like
you can't build a business and think
you're going to succeed you have to
succeed before building a business so
that's kind of how I've always looked at
it with my hair business with reptiles
so I said I cannot open a salon until I
have enough customers to pay for that
salon so when I was 25 I opened up a
hair salon
and I slept on the couch in the salon
and I did that for three years until I
was able to open a bigger one and then
now basically I don't really care about
that as much I have a tiny salon that
something on Friday and Saturday I do
all my work because I've grown a
clientele over about 15 years and the
rest of the week I spend time with my
daughter
and I work on two snakes but with the
snakes they were never really thought of
as a source of income it was a hobby
that I enjoyed and I think that everyone
should be able to have a hobby that they
enjoy whether it's reptiles sewing
painting cooking you should be able to
do something that you can enjoy that you
can make money off of and eventually if
you're good enough at it one day that
hobby could end up becoming your job but
you should never go into a hobby
thinking it's gonna be your job you
shouldn't you know student keep it as a
hobby enjoy it and then later on you'll
continue enjoying it especially if it
becomes a job then you're getting paid
to do something you really enjoy but if
you go into something like this thinking
oh I'm just gonna I'm gonna go I'm gonna
spend a hundred thousand dollars on
snakes and then I'm gonna make this huge
business and make a ton of money off of
it you won't because you'll have all
these expensive snakes but nobody knows
you you haven't built a reputation you
don't know how to take care of these
animals and it's gonna be a big mess see
by starting slow and getting one snake
here and one snake there I even bought
more snakes than I should have but by
the numbers growing every year it's at a
pace that I can handle it and you get
used to cleaning them you get used to
caring for them handling them spending
time with them when you start off with a
small collection you really can take
really good control of everything you
can really learn to understand what
works the best and I think we get caught
up so much on you know care sheets and
what everyone says oh you have to do
this you have to do that there are
guidelines there is no perfect way of
doing anything there's ways that work
for me that might not work for others
there's ways that work for you that
might not
for others and other than the things
that we really are not supposed to do we
probably shouldn't do but learning to
kind of see the animals and how they
behave and their condition that takes
time you know we have like even for
instance feeding regimens are we are we
gonna feed them on the schedule yeah we
can do that and you do that for the
first few years until you kind of see
the snake and you're like oh this one's
getting a bit chubby you know I'll give
it a little week off you know or this
one's getting a little thin I'm gonna up
the size on its meal
we don't have to follow regimens so
perfectly like that it can be nice and
it's great to start that way but as you
continue you start seeing what really
works so what really works is what works
for you and it might not work for
somebody else so I guess the thing that
I just wanted to talk about today the
most was that instead of worrying about
what other people are doing focus on
what you're going to do look at this
picture of my youtube over the year so
whether people like it or not doesn't
matter because it's growing because I
set up a plan to make it grow and I
started doing it so now no matter what
anyone says or anyone does my YouTube's
gonna keep growing my business is going
to keep growing and nothing can stop
that because I'm not gonna let anything
stop that I'm just gonna do the plan
that I have set and people can say and
think whatever they want but I'm gonna
do it and if you have that attitude the
nothing will stop you either you know no
matter what well people can go through
hard times and then give up but are you
gonna give up or are you gonna give it
your best and do what you plan to thank
you
yeah that was wonderful wasn't it now
make sure you oh yeah click the circle
and then watch this video or this one
yes yes it's not that hard
which one appeals to you're more into
this one or is it this one
