It looks like today's loop is going to be about eight miles.
So what we're looking at is the difference between January and August.
Growing up I never knew how much money my dad made.
I never knew how much money my grandpa made. I knew that my grandpa made a lot more money
or he did in his career and he had a lot more money because of the things that he did.
But we never talked about money. I have this memory going golfing with my grandpa and his golf cart he
had his own golf cart it looked like a rolls royce. An old man walked up who was golfing and said,
"Hey, do you mind if I ask how much you paid for this?", and he said, "More than I would care to admit",
and he said, "But really how much did you pay for it?", and my grandpa brushed it off he did
not want to answer and afterward he told me this is just a great memory that I have on my
grandpa. He said, "I'm not going to tell some old codger how much money I paid for this",
and you know why is that? I'm not saying he should have told him maybe he was a stranger.
But you know maybe he could have told me or why is that? Why is money such a taboo topic?
Are you ready for today's adventure? It looks like today's loop is going to be about eight miles.
I want to show you something today.
-I'm like, what lottery when are we getting today? -So what we're looking at is the difference between
January and August so just month to month and you'll notice in number of views we don't
really have any difference. In fact, it shows a little bit of a decrease but I want to show
you how it's more valuable. -Okay. -Alright, so I'm going to come up here and change the metric to CPM.
This is a good indicator even if you're not focused on ad revenue it's a good indicator of the
value of your channel, the value of your content. So if you compare this is January the value is 29
CPM where in August it was $41. -Cool and these are a lot of the new videos. -Yeah, so the
content you're putting out basically Youtube and advertisers are telling you it's way more valuable.
-And these videos thank you. -You were listening too really good. -Thank you.
-And I'm about ready to leave the desert enter the forest.
So I'm in a place like this. I mean, you know, there's some beautiful beach houses around here
but it would be totally taboo for me to go and ask somebody so how much did this place cost or how
much money do you make? Why are you so well to do? I mean, you can ask, "Oh, what do you do for
a living?", that's kind of the only way that we can talk to people about their income or money is we
just say, "Oh, what do you do?", but we don't say, "Oh, how much does that pay you?". I don't know. Even an
the employee world we don't ask people what their hourly wage is or how much do you make per year?
Okay, now I am approaching the top point where I'll cross over there's a valley up here.
Who knew that so high up would be such huge beautiful valley.
Alright, so, I've climbed up about 2,500 feet in this beautiful valley and there happens
to be a way that I can view back to where I started. So, pretty cool. I've not really seen
this view up here and it doesn't look that far but yeah 2,500 feet it's pretty significant.
So now I just head this way. I'm gonna cross over I've not been this way before. I don't know
if there's any more up and down but then I'll get over to the battle creek trail and head back down.
You think in the entrepreneurial world it would be a little bit different because you can talk
about business revenue and you can like we're all striving for things. We control our income
and if people had talked to me more about profit and what profit was in my business
I think I would have benefited from knowing that a little bit sooner. My intent in sharing
my income and my revenue with my friends is like, look, I finally figured it out and
I want to help them. I want them to figure it out too. Okay, I was wrong by about 300 feet
that's probably the steepest section I've climbed it was gorgeous though.
But now I'm in another valley and I do believe I'm predicting that I'm going to be heading down soon.
Alright, check this out.
This is the spring.
Very cool. I've got plenty of water. This would be a good source.
The other thing that's interesting is we all want more money. We'd like to receive
more money. We want to sell something and get paid more for it or we'd like a pay increase
at our job. We want more money but not too much. If we make too much money
well then we've crossed some line and it's no longer a good thing. Isn't that weird?
Check out this one.
Money is such a taboo topic. For so many years I've been pursuing wealth and trying to get
ahead financially and trying to get to a really good place of financial success. I've got tons
of friends that have been on this journey with me and they're amazing friends.
I really found my tribe we think the same way. But even among these friends
we can talk about like our dreams for money and our aspirations for
success and accomplishment in our business. But now that I've achieved quite significant
success I feel extremely blessed. It's been hard for me to talk to even some of these friends
about my success. Really good friend of mine... I just wanted to
share like, look what i've accomplished? We've been working for so long. She knows of the struggles
that I've had over the years and I just wanted to let her know like, look what I accomplished and
I just opened my mouth and I kind of shared it with her and the response was, "Well good for you",
and just was like I didn't know what response I was expecting. It was just really awkward
and I'm like how can I just celebrate? How come money is such a taboo topic? Why is it so hard
to talk about? Well, I'm out of the canyon but I started this journey in grove creek canyon.
So, it's about a mile walk in between. I hope I'm about halfway maybe a little bit less than that
40 percent this has been a good hike. The audiobook I'm listening to I'm learning
about the hand cart companies. The pioneer handcart companies that came across the planes to the west.
I'm feeling like the hike that I'm on is kind of an appropriate way to listen to this.
