Why You...Yes YOU! Should upload some Youtube Videos

Friends, have you spent quite a bit more time that you´ll admit....watching youtube videos during the pandemic?

Have you noticed something? 

Now, be honest.....let´s be honest here.

What is the quality of the videos that you currently watch  on Youtube?

Be brutally honest here.

Ok, I am going to start. Most of the videos I have watched on Youtube over the past 2 years of pandemic madness........have been really terrible......like so terrible, you want to go to the time bank and get a refund on all that time you spent watching those videos.

So, am I such a snob that I need to criticize youtube creators that are actually making something creative on youtube? No, not really. I am saying that the quality is pretty bad.......for one reason only.

That reason, is that I want you to admit to yourself, that you could probably make something just as good, if not better than most of the crap that is currently on youtube! Yes, there is room for all of us, who have any kind of creative bug. 

You don´t need any kind of fancy equipment just to get started. A simple smart phone will do the job.

IF you discover that you enjoy making videos, you can always upgrade yourself to be using better equipment, and invest in a fancy camera or editing software. Heck, if you really want to go whole hog, you can hire someone to do the editing for you, so that your videos appear more professional and visually appealing. 

There I said it. There is room for you.....and there is room for me.....on youtube. Maybe you only want to make one tiny little video, to share with your world. That´s ok....you don´t have to do anything.....no one has to do anything. This is about helping more human beings realize their potential in today´s market place.

This is a great season for creatives in the earth today. There are so many platforms. So many ways we can monetize our creative outlets. 

So, this little blog post is just a wee suggestion, to my friends across the world, who needed to hear.....that yes, there is room for you too.....on youtube.

Take a chance. Make a video.

Be surprised, when people actually watch it.

Peace,

Carla

Warren Buffett: Be Cheap to Get Rich?

I never tire of hearing rehashings of Warren Buffet´s habits that have created and maintained his wealth.

He is not only a master of personal discipline....he is also a master sales person. He uses his frugality to help compel more people to invest in his companies because everyone feels more comfortable investing their hard earned money with someone who values every nickel, than with someone who spends foolishly or carelessly.

Do you agree?

It was Playing Aloud in Public

I had the pleasure, this long Labour Day weekend  (yes in Canada we spell Labour with a u) to meander for a few brief minutes by the waters of Kempenfelt Bay. Although the beaches were busy, they were not insanely so....

Perhaps because of the new parking policy, which charges ¨ out-of-towners¨ a stiff $10.00 per hour for the luxury of parking close to the beach. Or perhaps it is simply because the weather is trending away from crazy hot...to pleasantly mild.

So, today I wanted to mention something I noticed as I walked the board walk in bare feet...swinging my fake berkenstocks in my left hand. I walked by a gent sitting peacefully on a large rock, backpack on his back, sunglasses and bball hat ...gazing into the waters of Kempenfelt Bay. Then I recognized a voice, a familiar male voice. Who could that be? I listened closer, and then realized that it was a narrator, either Alexander Scourby or Max Maclean, speaking in an audio bible version I recognized. What a pleasant surprise. I presumed it was the peaceful gent perched on the rock who was sharing the recording with the public, ..... but really it could have been anyone sitting on the sandy beachside knoll with an audio device or phone on playback mode. I had no interest in staring or disturbing the tranquil moment to bring attention to whomever was sharing the good book. I certainly wanted to say thank you in some way, to acknowledge the courage displayed to play aloud that holy book. However, sometimes.... it is better to just enjoy a special moment than to break the ambience with loud guffaws of gratitude.

You see, churches in Simcoe County, sometimes give the impression of having a line demarcated between what is their´s and what is the public´s. And yet here, on a gentle breeze, on a gentle day, on a gentle sandy beach..... the rich fabric of the Word of God blanketed us all. It wasn´t loud....it wasn´t soft......it was just there. God´s word......unashamed and unabashed....there for us to absorb.

Thank you....back pack guy, or whomever you are, for sharing a great gift. You may be forever anonymous....but your gift was truly appreciated.

from the curly haired lady with the fake birkenstocks.
