Sometimes in life we get caught up. Caught up in something fun, in something which gets us exposure on a variety of levels, or even just simply caught up in life’s daily happenings. It takes true skill to be able to take the time to sit back, and really see what is going on in a grander scale, which is extremely crucial to your overall success.
The first point I want to make in today’s blog, is no matter WHAT you are doing business-wise, you need to remember to follow the money. As you get into different avenues, whether retail-related, sources of advertising revenues, or whatever the case, you truly need to closely track them and see what is working, and what isn’t. It’s very easy to be stubborn and stick with something because you ENJOY doing it, and not necessarily because it is making money. What is the point of putting your full effort into something if you’re not cashing in on it, or at least working towards the goals of cashing in on it?
I am not afraid to fail, which is the main reason which I constantly try new things. It’s my strong opinion that most people are scared to death to fail, which is why they will never truly succeed.
Another big thing on my mind today are “haters” and “trolls,” which show up in a variety of places such as YouTube, Facebook comments, ALL over Social Media and the Internet. It’s an absolute waste of time and it’s honestly funny to me how someone can spend the time bashing someone else’s success/project or whatever the case, and they don’t realize that they themselves are getting NOTHING accomplished in the meanwhile.
Is it alright for someone to bash someone else in an attempt to gain their audience or grow their own brand? In my opinion absolutely not, and it’s not a practice I would ever be a part of, but the World is filled with those who do that exact same thing. My best advice to give you all right now is just simply continue to be yourself, continue to put out content that YOU are proud of, and constantly grow. Don’t be afraid to try new things and fail. Don’t worry about what the “haters” are saying. Simply wake up each and every day and try your best to reach your dreams, without becoming a negative force which eats at others who have achieved some of the success you desire.
If only the World were this simple…
I am in a good mood right now, for those wondering, just a lot on my plate right now and dealing with some childish antics, but I feel that I’m above giving any other response other than this little opinion-filled blog post. Hope you were able to grab something useful out of it!
Enjoy your day, reach for your dreams, and hopefully you get THAT much closer to grabbing them. Don’t stress any negative doubters, haters, or ANY of the above! Never forget that the only person who knows where you are going, or has any of idea of where you may be going, is YOU.
It’s now OFFICIALLY 2013! I thank you for checking out BrentOtt.com today and I wanted to announce a few new & special things I am doing this year. First off, EACH AND EVERY DAY of the year I’ll be posting AT LEAST one new blog entry per day right here on this blog! Some of these will be in-depth posts regarding a variety of business ideas, etc, some will be EXCLUSIVE video content, sometime it may be just an exclusive photograph or even a re-post of an Instagram shot, you name it. On certain days I’ll simply post more funny or inspiring content. In 2013 you just never know what you may see here on BrentOtt.com!
As of today I also want to announce for the first time something I’m pretty excited about. Beginning in 2013 I’m going to begin doing one-on-one consultations with certain people. I’m in constant contact with people who would love to really “pick my brain” a bit more, and get some of the tips and tidbits I have in regards to building a successful online business, buying and selling antiques & junk, Social Media, building and maintaining a website, you name it.
Through my “Trash Talk & Treasures” show, my main website OUnitProductions.com, my YouTube Channel in general, and all over Social Media I’ve been able to build a very profitable Internet presence, which I’d love to be able to help people reach for who desire to do so. I give out a lot of valuable FREE tips & tidbits but I’m not “Boo Boo Da Fool,” I never give out everything. Beginning this year I want to teach more, and share more, and the best way for me to be able to do this and truly go FULL FORCE will be these one-one-one consultations.
These won’t be starting up for a few months, but if you are interested I want to give you the option to sign up early because I’m sure the slots will fill up fast. With running my businesses I’ve only got so much “free time” to go around, as I’m sure you can imagine. I’ve already been approached as I said about these, which is really where this is all coming from. So here’s the deal, you’ll be able to either book a simple, one-time consultation, or if you really want to go hard I’ll be offering a 10 hour course. We’ll begin with going over your background, where you want to be, your dreams, your goals, and I’ll help to customize a unique business plan for each client who sets up a consultation or takes the course. We’ll go over setting up your site, promoting it via Social Media, tips on what TO BUY & what NOT TO BUY to resell, selling outlets you NEED to be using, what’s coming out this year, TONS of inside information you’ll be getting or hearing NOWHERE else!
These will be done via PRIVATE Google Hangouts. The one-time ONE HOUR CONSULTATION will be $100, and the 10-hour spread out course will be $750. I promise you guys there’s going to be some killer stuff thrown into both the consultation and the course so I’m looking forward to getting in contact with you guys to set something up! Another cool thing is these will be completely customizable based on where you are in the business, your goals, etc…
Simply email brent@ounitproductions.com for more details and we’ll MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Besides these fun consultations and courses 2013 is going to be FILLED with fun stuff happening in my business life. “Trash Talk & Treasures” will continue to grow and airs EACH AND EVERY Monday & Tuesday night at 7:30 PM EST on YouTube, “Project X” will be launching on YouTube in 2013, and another little thing brewing on the back burner is a book which will HOPEFULLY be dropping as early as the END of 2013!
My eBay & Etsy presence will increase in 2013, all three of my co-op booths will continue, I truly believe 2013 is going to be a groundbreaking year on many levels!!!!
Fun times lie ahead!
