Good day Reader We have only 2 Days Left of The Power Crown Games! Today I thought I'd share a lesson I learned recently: Overcoming limiting mindsets. Many times, I see people associate actions with results that shouldn't be associated with them. For example, I'm sure we've all seen the millionaire morning routines that take 6 hours to complete. One constant in all of them is that they make their bed. Many people believe that making their bed equates to a bigger bank number. It doesn't. Making your bed helps you stay organized. Organization helps you get a bigger bank number. Sometimes we think the only way to get a result is by doing the thing that got us that result in the first place. Making your bed helped you get organized, so you think making your bed is the only way to stay organized. But there are many ways to be organized. The goal is to just be organized. Of course this could be applied to anything. But it has helped me open my eyes and dig deep into the root of why I do everything. When you clearly understand your goal, your steps become easier to take. I encourage you to apply this exercise to your daily life and see what the true motivators of your actions are. And if possible, try replacing them with a more proactive approach. See how it goes. Until next time. Praying for your success. Estevan Out.

But how can you do this? 3 hacks: 1. Transitions: Instead of choppy cuts, use overlay transitions like film burns, camera flashes, and match cuts. Using dead space as a way to build intrigue...
Have you ever wondered what these black bars in movies are? These are called Letterboxes. While historically these occurred when a film got reshaped for a smaller screen, many filmmakers use these today to make their videos look more, cinematic. But why? These create a cinematic look because they mimic that wide aspect ratio that most films posses, giving your video a polished, movie-like feel. They also help with hiding any "fluff" in your frame" Like garbage in the background, notes on the...
Attention is Earned. Not Given. If you have one minute, I have some tips that will help you engage more with your audience. Strong Hook: Open with an intriguing question, shocking fact, or a powerful visual. The first 5 seconds decide everything. The goal is to make a "promise" that's strong enough to keep them watching. It's in this moment that your audience decides to watch for the next 20 seconds. Those 20 seconds convince them to watch the next minute. So on and so forth. But EVERYTHING...
