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...

Hey Reader Are you tired of telling people about your business but nothing seems to stick? That could be the result of weak branding. Weak branding happens when you don't clearly communicate your goals, personality, and solutions to your audience. And before I keep talking, you don't need a huge audience, daily posts, or celebrity endorsements in order to have a strong brand. Even though that could help, it's not necessary. Below I'll cover the basics of building a strong brand from the...

Good morning Reader We have Just 1 Day Left of The Power Crown Games! Today I want to talk about disguising your mistakes. We've all had hiccups or moments where we've dropped the ball. We're human. But the part that seems the most embarrassing is that we allow that to overshadow what we did right. I recently did an event where the sound on a video didn't play, and everyone noticed. I got it working and we moved on. The rest of the time I was on point and the entire production ran smoothly. I...

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....

Good evening Reader We have only 6 Days Left of the Power Crown Games I love the first week of the month because that's when I do my most networking. In fact I just got back from a networking event right now. When I first began my business, I was adamant on selling directly to everyone in the group, which caused me to come off as very salesy and pushy. But the more I attended, I learned that the key wasn't to get clients, but connections. I'm sure you heard the phrase, "It's not what you...

Good afternoon Reader We have only 7 Days left of the Power Crown Games. I'm gonna honest with you for a second. I've been trying to write this email for the past 2 hours. Today just isn't my day. Usually I can get it done in under 30 minutes. But that doesn't seem to be the case today. Regardless, it still needs to get done. And that's what I'm gonna talk about. Many times, we fall into a routine of monotony. So much so, that we want to forfeit doing anything at all. Or we get to the point...
