Coffee Monday!
For all of you guys who are regulars here, you know it’s not Monday.
You know it is.
Hey everybody!
Michael Gebben here and I’m super excited to be with you on another what?
Rockin’ Wednesday.
Yes, it’s Wednesday and every week, we do an awesome, fun motivational video.
But what’s super exciting in the story behind this shirt which at the bottom here says Monday,
“Coffee Monday,” is the last week has been a little crazy.
There’s about 3000 new people here that have just come since last Thursday.
You all know who you are.
You came from “itsjudyslife.”
Last week, I got called in by a new buddy of mine who I just met a few weeks ago from
“BenjimanTV.”
It’s actually “itsjudyslife,” the channel and Benji called me in ‘coz he was doing
a surprise for his wife Judy.
You guys gotta go check out that video.
I’ll link it up here.
It already has close to 600,000 views and it was just put online last Friday.
The other thing for all you guys that haven’t seen it, I did a video.
Benji has his own channel called “BenjimanTV.”
You guys gotta check it out.
It has a lot of great recipes for food, smoothies and all sorts of awesome stuff.
We did a video, “Coffee Monday motivation” with Sean Thinks.
Oh my god, it was an awesome conversation in the car.
It was kind of last minute right before I got to the airport and we had a blast.
I’ll link that up as well.
You guys definitely need to check that out.
For any of you who’ve already seen that, check out all the other videos in this channel.
There’s over 40 right now.
We do one every single Wednesday.
I’m super excited for you guys to all be here.
One thing that I wanna do real quick for all of you new guys that are here and anybody
else, leave a comment below and let me know what it is that you might be struggling with
or what it is that you need that motivation or inspiration for.
Whether you’re trying to start a business, a blog or you’re trying to do Youtube videos
or a book, whatever it is, leave a comment below or even go to MichaelGebben.com and
go to the contact page if you don’t want to leave it publicly and just let me know
what it is that I can do videos for you guys and bring that inspiration.
Today, I wanna talk to you about Benji’s wife Judy.
We were talking and I wanna talk to you about success.
It comes in all different shapes and sizes.
We’re talking and they have almost 900,000 subscribers on one of their channels “itsjudyslife”
which is a daily (yes, daily).
They have over 1000 videos on their channel.
They do a daily vlog of their life.
Juliana and their two twins, their whole birth, everything is on this channel.
You definitely need to check it out.
What I find so interesting is that sometimes, when people reach this super stardom and people
know who they are and all these things, when they’ve reached that, sometimes it can appear
as though people don’t have to work that hard or they’re lazy, or they had it so
lucky, these things were handed to them.
But what you’ll find whether it’s with Judy or whether it’s with anybody else that
you look up to, is it’s the behind the scenes that people don’t know, they don’t see
and they don’t understand.
I was talking to Benji and we’re talking about when Judy got started.
They had no idea what this was going to become.
It was just something she wanted to do, that she enjoyed, just wanting to help inspire
people with different make-up and different things like that.
What’s so interesting though is she hustled her butt off behind the scenes.
She’d stay up till 3:00 in the morning, hustling, commenting on things, messaging
people, reaching out, connecting, building relationships day in and day out because just
like one of my other videos that you can check out, “If you build it, they can come.”
What you gotta realize is no matter what you do, you just can’t build things.
You just can’t put out videos 7 days a week and hope that there’s gotta be this flocks
of people that come and watch, or come and read, or come and whatever, buy what it is
that you are selling.
You have to get it out there in front of eyeballs.
And that’s what she did each and every single day to get to where they are today.
They haven’t skipped a beat.
If you didn’t miss, I said they have 1000 videos on this one channel and I’m not saying
that you have to do a video 7 days a week.
Success, to whatever that means to each and every single one of you, individually, it’ll
be different but for them, they’re doing videos 7 days a week and some days, they have
couple ones because of their other channels.
That doesn’t mean that you have to do 7 days a week.
It just means that you have to do something and do it consistently.
Do it consistently.
If you wanna do Youtube, you can’t do a video once and then not do one for 6 months
and wonder why you’re not having the success that you see others have.
When you stop, growth stops no matter what it is that you’re doing.
Find what works for you.
Find that groove for you but stick with something.
If you find out that it’s not working or that you don’t love it, then move on.
That’s okay.
You don’t have to stick something through forever.
But that is the point of finding something that you love, that lights you up, that you’re
excited about, that you do for free, that you do without getting paid.
You do it because you love it.
The thing for me that I think about that I wanna give you.
I won’t give you the whole thing right now but I take GEBBS and when I do speeches and
talks, I’ve Given Expectation – Believing - Best and Serving.
I’m gonna take the B for Best.
Here’s the other massive tip for each and every single one of you no matter what it
is you are trying to do in life.
When you want to achieve great things and be like somebody else, what you need to be
your own unique self, but when you’re trying to strive for something big in life and you
want massive success to whatever that means for you, the one thing that you’ve got to
do is you have got to be your best.
You’ve got to do your best.
You’ve got to be outstanding.
Because it doesn’t matter whether or not you’re the freakin’ bag boy at the grocery
store or you have this high up, high level job or you’re in college and you work in
the cafeteria.
Whatever it is that you do, you have to be outstanding and do your best.
When you do your best, some amazing things happen.
Some amazing things can happen.
Judy and her channel grew to over a thousand because she does her best each and every single
day and whatever that is.
Sometimes, you have another B which is a Bad Day.
That’s okay.
We all have bad days.
I have bad days.
We’re all human but the reality is, when you go out there and you make a conscious
choice to go do something, you’ve made the choice.
Whether you choose to go to college, you choose not to go to college, you choose to get a
job, you choose to start a business, you choose to start a Youtube channel, you choose to
write a book, you start a blog, whatever it is that you choose to do, until you choose
to stop doing it, do your best because people take notice.
When people take notice, they talk.
When they talk, word of mouth starts to happen.
When word of mouth starts to happen, things come to you.
Good things can typically come to you.
When you don’t do your best, how do you expect great things to happen?
For me, I’m usually an all in or all out type of guy.
I really don’t have an in between.
Very up here or very down here.
There’s really not much in the middle because for me, when I went out there to do Benji’s,
help Benji.
He left it all out on the field.
I left it all out in the field.
He surrounded himself with the best people to create the best experience that he possibly
could for Judy.
He did the best that he could, surrounded himself with the best.
Their average video gets 200,000 – 300,000 views a day.
This one’s almost near 600,000 already.
We all poured our best and not that the other videos don’t get more because they’re
not giving their best.
The reality is, people are sharing this, people are talking about it.
We drew so much emotion out of that.
That’s the thing that I try to do.
People are crying, people are sharing it just more than normal.
It’s also a unique video that’s different from the rest but it’s one of the things
where we all want to do great things.
We all want to achieve these awesome things.
We look up to others and we see them and sometimes as I said, it looks like they don’t work
that hard.
Not that you have to drive yourself insane into sickness and not spend time with your
family.
They got a formula down.
They play hard and they work hard at the same time.
That’s what I tried to do because we can all, when we start our own thing or we become
entrepreneurs, we can get stuck in this, we never stop.
Sometimes I still have a hard time stopping but at the same time, I try to make sure that
for everybody who’s most important in my life, that I make time for them every single
day to be with them, to spend time with them because life is short.
But the bottom line, is the things that you want to do, do your best.
Do your best.
Work hard.
Play hard.
Have fun.
Be passionate and leave it all out in the field.
When you do that, again, great things will happen.
I can’t tell you the countless stories…
I can have a story time of all the amazing things that have happened to me because I’ve
left it all out in the field, I’ve given my best and people take notice.
I give without expectation and I do my absolute best.
I know I’m hammering that home but I just want you guys to hear that.
I don’t have a lot more to say today.
I’m gonna link up the shirt.
I’m gonna link up the Coffee Monday motivational video that I was just in.
I’m gonna link up the itsjudyslife surprise, Judy’s surprise video.
I’ll have all those linked up below and Judy’s surprise video right here.
Coffee Monday motivational video right here.
So you guys can click those right there and like I said, I’ll link up the shirt and
stuff below as well and then the channels and everything.
I just get fired up and I’m excited for everybody that’s new here.
It’s starting to happen.
People are saying, “Oh I wish I had more subscribers.”
That’s what’s so crazy just like with this.
I’ve been doing this almost a year now.
Sept 4th will be a year and it’s just crazy because when I started, I started with zero.
Zero subscribers, zero connections in the Youtube space and I did it each and every
single week.
I don’t have any idea where this channel’s gonna go, where it’s gonna end up or what’s
going to happen.
I have some big dreams, hopes, aspirations, goals but I’m just gonna keep doing this
each and every single week because I love it.
And I love inspiring each and every single one of you.
I thank you guys so much for being here.
I truly appreciate you all and it’s just great.
Remember to go do your best at whatever it is that you’re doing and great things will
happen.
And you know what, like I said, if you’ve made the choice to do it, it just feels better
to give it all you got because you have a choice to get out of that thing if you’re
not happy doing it.
Rock and roll my friends.
I truly appreciate you.
We’ll see you next Wednesday.
Take care!
Back for two more seconds here at the end and more than that but so again, I gotta get
a big shout out to Benji.
He is absolutely and outstanding individual.
Benji, you freakin’ rock brother.
Just so you guys know, you’ve got to go check out, I’m saying it again, Benji’s
channel but also the Judy’s surprise.
I don’t think I really mentioned that.
I realize I got so into it I didn’t mention that you need to get your tissues out when
you watch this video.
I’ll link it up right here again, the Judy’s surprise.
Get your Kleenex ‘coz you will be crying I can almost promise you.
It’s pretty emotional.
It was an amazing, amazing experience and Benji really went all out in this video.
I realize I didn’t say that when I had the main thing, but you got to get your tissues.
Enjoy the video.
Thanks guys.
See you later.
