5 Steps for Writing Fight Scenes Tips from a Black Belt

Posted on December 8, 2025 by yoselkbaez36ck

You’re at that part in your writing project where there’s a battle or even just a minor dispute. Your character puts up his dukes. He throws a punch. And that’s when you realize you as the writer have never been in a fight before and you have no idea what to expect or what your character should expect. Don’t worry.

I got you. I’m going to show you how to write fight scenes. Hey there. So if you’re new here, the name is Sara Francis and I’m an author, media communicator and speaker, my channel is dedicated to taking you through not just my writing journey, but to guide you through your own. OK, first you’re probably wondering who I am to talk about fight scenes?

Well, not only is my indie published YA dystopian trilogy full of fights and battles. I am a third-degree black belt with over 12 years of experience and gold medals in Tae Kwon Do and other skills of martial arts. These medals and things aren’t meant to intimidate you. It’s just to show you that I’m not another noob making a video on fight scenes.  And I actually have a passion and understanding of what I’m talking about. Let’s get out of this uniform because it’s getting hot in here. OK, so now that I’m not dying in my uniform anymore, let’s hope to it. There are five things you need to remember as you write your fight scenes. Number one, assess the situation before your characters can fight.

They need to assess the situation and identify a lot of what’s going on around them. So point 1.A. They have to identify their surroundings. Are your fighters in a building? Are they out in field? Are they amidst a battle or is it just two of them? All of these things are key factors in a fight because the surroundings and what’s going on can highly impact your fighters’ performance. Part 1.B Of assessing the situation is to recognize what they are fighting for. The cause of the fight can change the mood of the fight drastically, the mentality of the fighters and the whole fight’s purpose. With that being said, will these fighters have internal monologue as the fight ensues? Consider having that monologue or even brief dialogue between the fighters to help break up the fight a little bit and to bring out more of the mood and what they’re fighting for.

Finally, part 1.c, you have to assess how the characters will be fighting. Is it war? Is it hand-to-hand combat? Is it magic? This will totally change the fight. Identify that before your fight even starts.

So, in conclusion, assessing and identifying the situation will improve the realism of the fight within your universe and give you a framework for how the fight should go. Number two, know the character’s strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. So basically, you need to know who your characters are and what they’re capable of. No one is perfect and no one is invincible. Not even Superman. Superman’s weakness is a glowing rock.

So don’t have a 10-year-old fighter throwing a six-hundred-pound sumo wrestler unless he is the reincarnated Superman, which would be pretty cool.

Somebody writes a book on that.

Number three, describe sounds along with the movements. Sounds in a fight are super important. They describe the speed, the power, the control of the fight. Let the reader hear the crack of a whip. Let them hear the thwack of a staff. Let them hear the squelch of a blade as it drives through the enemy. If I got too dark on you guys, I’m sorry. That’s kind of where I am in my book right now.



Don’t forget to click like and subscribe to know when I post another video. Or if you’re on instant and Facebook, give me a follow. It does a ton for me and my channel and makes me feel better that you’re enjoying the content and I know more of what you produce for you guys. Number four, describe the smells of a fight. Some readers don’t realize that fights have a smell. Your characters are exhausting so much energy that they are bound to sweat. Not only will they stink, but if blood is shed, blood has a particular metallic smell as well. If your character gets a nosebleed, can he smell his own blood? Does he taste it? Use your senses.

Finally, with smells, the terrain and the setting can change that as a result of their fight. Does one of the characters strike a gas tank and the air gets polluted? Do one of them go into a bog or some sort of nasty place where they could barely breathe because of how bad the smell is and how bad the air is just reeking of stench. Using the sense of smell in a fight creates an even deeper immersion than most other scenes. Number five, and probably the most important, know before you write how descriptive you’re going to be.

So, after knowing all four points, number five is something you really, really have to think about. Are you going to write super in-depth scenes or just the basics? To be honest, you DO need to know all of that previous information on an order to write either intense scenes or just basics. You can make an immersive fight scene that’s only a paragraph. Or if your book is fighting scene focused and you use fight scenes to progress story or even the character development. It can be longer, but you have to be careful because long fight scenes may disinterest the reader. One example of fight scenes that totally lost my interest is Mycroft Holmes by Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Anna Waterhouse. They had a lot and a lot of hand-to-hand fight scenes. They were very well written, but the pages were so long, the fighters were just going in circles.

This guy went this way. This guy went that way. Somebody picked up the needle and there was just no plot development, no internal monologue and just constant punching and kicking. kicking. So, you need to identify how long you want your fight scenes to be. Are you able to keep that reader engaged just as well as if you wrote it in a short paragraph? But that’s powerful and packed to the punch, pun intended. And those are the five basics. This is just enough for you to get an understanding of how to approach writing fight scenes. And don’t forget to check out the links in the description for the free digital version of “Write Fights Right” series.

It gives you all the information you talk about in my videos, plus a checklist, questionnaire, and resource links. I hope you enjoyed this video. Please like, follow, subscribe, all that jazz. And check on my Web site for my books, free resources, and my services. Thanks so much for watching and happy writing!

What Can the 223 Remington Really Do?

Posted on December 8, 2025 by yoselkbaez36ck

The USA is a nation of rifleman, big game hunters, deer, elk, and the most popular bestselling center fire rifle in the US today, the 223 Remington. Guess as many things as possible the 30 odd six is kind of the starting point for a good elk loose cartridge. And the 243 is a good starting point for a white tail and mule deer cartridge. And the 22250 is probably the best coyote cartridge.

What’s this puny little 223 Remington good for, well, let me count the ways on this episode of Ron Spomer Outdoors. Hey, we really want to thank our patrons for supporting us. I’ve had to give up a lot of my writing in order to do all these videos, and I really enjoy this work, but of course, somebody’s got to pay the bills and a Patrons, really hear how about. If you would like to join us on Patron, just go to patron.com/RonSpomerOutdoors we’d love to have you. Now the 223 is indeed the top selling center, fire cartridge in the United States and probably Canada and maybe even the world, but why it’s so small, it’s so puny.

It just is not what anyone would consider a great hunting cartridge for anything maybe other than rodents. So why is it so popular? Well, a little history will help prove that and some of the versatility of this cartridge too the 223 Remington evolve during the 1950s search for a new official military round for the US we had the 308 Winchester, the 7.62 NATO as it was called in the military, consider it a little heavy and bulky, so could we lighten the load a little bit and they had certain parameters that had to be met.

They started with the little 222 Remington cartridge, which had been a popular and deadly accurate little target round and varmint round since its inception in 1950s, but it didn’t quite produce the velocity and power that they wanted, so they stretched it out a little bit.
And in the process, they came up with something that Remington turned loose in the public as the 222 Remington Magnum that didn’t have a lot of shelf life because shortly after that, they reduced the size of it to reach just the right particulars that they needed for the new AR 15 style rifles and came up with what they then called the 223 Remington.

And in Remington itself, while the military was still testing all this stuff, they put it in guess what a pump action rifle in 1963, that Remington thing was a 740 or 760. Can’t remember the number on it, but it was a pump that was the first 223 rifle. So, Remington jumped above or ahead of the military and actually released it first as a 223 Remington. Then the military finally accepted it as the 5.56 NATO had become known now. The difference between these two is really not so much in the shapes and dimensions. They’re just about identical. The 556 is a little narrower at the shoulder, probably because they want a little more caper, so they make sure that it extracts easily. And it’s also chambered with a little bit longer throat because the military went with some longer bullets than the commercial version had.

So, they needed to stretch that, throat it out a little bit and they also made a little bit thicker brass. So essentially SAAMI came out with that 223 Remington and gave it 55,000 PSI as your max average chamber pressure.

The military version, that 5.56 NATO is at 58,000 PSI. So, you don’t winna shoot the 5566 and a 223 chamber, but you can go vice versa. It’s just probably smart to stick with using the ammunition that specified on the head stamp as the same as your rifle has on the barrel. But that I think is why the 223 became so popular, it was a military rifle. And think of all the soldiers who learned to shoot rifles for the first time in the military, they’re shooting an AR style, automatic rifle. They transitioned to civilian life and they’re familiar with the 223 or the 556 and they’re also familiar with that style of rifle. So, what they call modern sporting rifles, the AR 15 style, which is a semiautomatic of course, those are extremely popular, and they’re used for a lot of blinking and target shooting and that’s, I think why they’re so popular, that’s why the 223 is so popular. And there are other reasons we’re going to cover them all here.

I made a list of what I think are some of the benefits and what the 223 Remington is really good for. And we’re going to concentrate a lot on the hunting aspects of it, which might surprise you. So, 223 is, I think I’m probably right in the middle I always call those Goldilocks cartridges. Unlike the 22250, it doesn’t burn out your barrels as quickly.

It’s really easy on barrels, not quite as easy as a 222 obviously, because there’s always a powder volume against the diameter of the bullets. So, you can just see by looking at these guys, you’re burning a lot more powder, that’s more heat. You’re going to burn the throat out in your barrel a lot sooner with the 22250. So, middle of the road, it’s not quite as fast as the 250, but it’s a little faster that it’s 222. It strikes a nice balance and of there’s virtually no recoil when they shoot this. And I think that’s another reason it’s so popular, low report, low recoil, easy to shoot, inexpensive animal it’s just a whole lot going through it for it, but you still end up with that question, what’s a good for? Here’s my list.

Hey, if you would like to see more detail on some of these videos, we can’t show everything about guns and ammo and hunting and hand loading and how to do all of this stuff on these public channels. So, we’ve started RSOTV.com where we can show you those details so you might winna check that out, thanks. Training, now if you’re going to start a new shooter, you don’t want a lot of recoil. You don’t winna scare anybody 223 Remington, why not? The 222 just not common anymore this has replaced it, so great for training and learning to shoot. You can work on trigger control instead of flinching. Plinking, well, once you learn to shoot, it’s so much fun. and I think this is why so many rounds of 223 are shot. They just like to shoot balloons and jugs and cans and targets at different distances it’s just a fun rifle to go out and shoot with.

And it’s fairly inexpensive, obviously with that small powder capacity, you’re probably looking at 25 grains of powder to drive those bullets yet it’s just relatively inexpensive. Now, it’s not as inexpensive as a 22 long rifle room fire obviously, but if you’re hand loader, you’ve got your case that you can load again and again and again, so there’s some savings there. So, hunting varmints, now, this is where it really took off in the civilian market. It replaced the 222 which was a great fox and coyote varmint rifle. And it’s used a lot on rock chuck, woodchucks, jack rabbits, all of the rodents that are afflicting your hay fields and stuff, and they’re eating alfalfa and you need to trim that population down.

Why put up with all the expense and noise of a 22250 or a 220 swift and burn your barrels out, get a 223 head and you can do a lot of work with less recoil, less expanse is just a great cartridge for taking care of varmints. But what about getting a little larger animal? I think it’s an optimal predator, hunting round two foxes, bobcats, coyotes, raccoons, any of those animals that are threatening chickens out in the barn like we have here, we have to pick off a raccoon every once in a while, out here and a coyote too.

So not as good as the 22250 for long reach, but I think out to 250, 300 yards, plenty good enough. You’re doing to drive a 50 green bullet 3300 feet per second, maybe even 3,400 feet per second, with a 26-inch barrel, great varmint and predator around. You can hunt Javelina is with this thing. Javelina it’s related to pigs, but they’re not as big. They look mean and big and ferocious, a lot of hair and those big teeth that they snap, but really it’s a fairly small animal and I have handled them quite handily with 223.


They’re just not that hard to put down as bow hunters can tell you.

So, it’s good for those, also pronghorn, that’s not a very large, big game animal either probably a hundred pounds. So, 223 is not going to be as effective as at long ranges as say a 243 Winchester or a 25-06 Remington, but it’s got more than enough juice to do the job as you carefully pick your shots. Now what about deer? It’s always argued whether or not this thing is adequate for deer and up to people who think that 243 is probably a starting point for a good deer cartridge. Aren’t going to like the 223, but man there are just so many people in so many places who effectively use the 223 for white deal hunting and even Mueller honey, that you can hardly discount it, obviously it’s not ideal, but again, the right bullet in the right place.

And the fact that these has such minimal recoil, I think anyone can shoot them extremely accurately. So yeah, if it’s legal in your state and it’s not legal in some states, but isn’t others, the 223 does make a darn effective deer hunting rifle out to 200, maybe 250 yards. So a great option for that. What about even larger animals will feral hogs come up, as a good idea, is that a predator or a varmint? I don’t know, it’s kind of an in-between thing. I tell you what it makes for some darn good bacon and ham. A feral hog meat is delicious. So, you could consider a big game animal, but will the 223 handle it? Absolutely, is it ideal? Once again no, especially when you get your larger specimens, but I’ve taken hogs with 50 grain bullets going at this velocity.

It was actually out of a 221 fireball instead of the 223. So the fireball can handle them the 223 can and I put a 50 green varmint bullet behind your shoulder of an 80-pound hog and took it out just fine, dashed off and fell over one note, ran out of air like they always do, but if you’re up against a big angry boar, I wouldn’t want it 223. But if you can pick your shots, generally when you’re doing extermination work on these feral hogs that are damaging property, you’re usually, you’re reaching out there and picking them off. You’re not engaging in barrel to tusk combat with a big bore, the 223 will do the job just use the right bullet.

Now what about really big game? There are a lot of people who use that 223 on elk, moose, caribou, wow. Now, generally these are folks on a budget maybe they’re sustainable use up in the north country where they’re living off the land that a lot of Alaskans and Northern Canadian folks will take moose with the 223 in immediate, extremely popular up there. And of course, the trick is to put the bullet in the right place, wait for your broadside shot and put it behind his shoulder over the top of the heart or through the lungs. And you’re probably going to get your moose, your elk, your caribou.

Now, if you’re a quasi-recreational big game hunter coming out west for your elk hunt, don’t take a 223. Yeah, can do the job when you’re living out, during you’re putting meat on the table. But if you’ve got a big bunch of time and money invested in an elk hunt, you’ve got a week to get the job done you might not get close enough for a 223 shot. You might not get the perfect position of the head hog. Can it do the job Yes, is that ideal? No, so it’s got versatility folks. If you’re looking for 224 cartridge family, 223 Remington, despite that strange three in the title is one that’ll shoot it and it’s a great Goldilocks cartridge right in the middle of the pack. Hey, thanks for watching, if you can subscribe to our channel, it would really help.

$262,938 Earned From Reading THESE Books 📚

Posted on December 6, 2025 by yoselkbaez36ck

There’s no question that one of the best investments that you can make in yourself is reading books. If you’ve been on my channel for any amount of time, you know that I’m a bit obsessed with reading books. I’ve got, I’ve gained so much knowledge and experience from reading book, after book, after book, and it by far is just by what you pay versus what you get in return, there is nothing that compares with the ROI of reading a book and taking action on what that book provides. But you’ve already heard this before, you’ve heard other people talk about how wealthy people read books.

Here you can see, I just laid out all these books, if you saw that other video, we spent $700 or something’ on books. I don’t always buy ’em new, but I was at Barnes and Noble and I thought, what the heck. I do that every once in a while, I’ll go on a big binge. So, I think there’s four, there’s about roughly 30 books there.

And if you want to become rich, you have to read books, blah, blah, blah. You’ve heard it before, so who am I, just another guy saying the same thing.

But just so that it’s not just me saying the same thing, I wanted to do something special today, I wanted to bring on other people that could share real results, quantifiable results that they have achieved by reading books. In fact, the people that I’m getting’ ready to share with you, these people have generated over $262,000 just from reading a book and taking action on that book.

And if you stay until the end, I’m going to share the book that has changed my life, in fact, I can contribute that I’ve made over a million dollars, actually probably millions of dollars because of this book that I read. So, you’re going to find out what these books that other people have read, and how they made 262,000 from reading these books, and also the book that made me over a million dollars. So, let’s find out what these books are right now.

It’s hard to believe that a book can change somebody’s life, it’s hard to believe that by reading something, either in paper form, or on your iPad, or Amazon Kindle that just reading text written by somebody else on their experience can have such a tremendous impact on your life and change your future. But I have experienced that, I have seen it, I have had friends, I have coworkers, I’ve had just acquaintances online, and I’ve just seen the impact that books have. And yet, when I talk to people and ask them, what books are they’re reading or what books have they read, I’m still amazed that there are still so many people that don’t, that don’t read books, that they think they can get their information from YouTube and online, and there is tons of valuable information online, I don’t winna discount the information you can get by watching YouTube channels and by reading blogs and all that stuff, but the reality is man, there is just so much information in books that you can get and you can apply to your life and see real results.

It can happen, it will happen, and that’s why I’m excited to share some other people’s experiences from reading the book that they’ve had, and also the results that they’ve seen with it, quantifiable results that they can say, hey I read this book, and this is what happened because of it. And that’s why I was excited to do this video collaboration with you, and also very excited to share the book that had an impact on my life.

These are people that are from the financial blogger community that I’m a part in. So these are bloggers, these are YouTubers that are committed to educating themselves and others, and being responsible with their money, and taking action, and seeing actionable results. So, the first creator I want to share with you, so her name is Gee, and for those that think this is just about making money and growing your business or scaling your business, Gee has a different story.

So, a book that she read was able to show her how to build up some savings and pay off a crazy amount of debt. So here is her book, and the results that she saw from it.

Hey everyone, Gee Nonteam here, thank you Jeff for allowing me to be a part of this collaboration. So, in the summer of 2017, I picked up a book called The Slight Edge, and in that book, there’s so many analogies where the author talks about taking little steps of action and how those little steps of action lead to big things. And so, at that time, I did not have an emergency fund and in the middle of reading that book, I took a decision to start an emergency fund.


And so, what I did was, just directly using the tips from that book, I went and set up automatic deductions from my checking account into a special savings account that would allow me to build a $1,000 emergency fund. And within four to five months, that emergency fund was completely funded, it had $1,000 in it.

On top of that, the tips in the book allowed me to pay off around 70% of my credit card debt, and I just think that that is so incredible, and that book stands out in my mind as such an instrumental book that I took direct action from, and that direct action actually led to something tangible, which was money in my bank account, and also a bunch of debt that was paid down. – I love hearing that from Gee, because whenever I read Total Money Makeover from Dave Ramsey, that was the book that really inspired me to want to be debt free, and I was already on that path to becoming debt free, but Dave just put it in a way that just made it real. Like seeing the testimonials from other people that paid off hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt, and I used that book to train others, to teach others as a financial planner for those that wanted to become debt free.

So, I love Total Money Makeover, as far as helping me become debt free, and teaching others, and I love hearing this book by Gee and what that did for her, to be able to pay off 70% of her debt and get her cash savings in check. Her future can only get brighter from here.

Alright, the next five are some pretty cool results from some amazing books. And you’re going to learn the story about someone that quit their day job to earn over $10,000 a month as a freelancer. You’re going to learn about the person who had a fear of self-publishing and went on to self-publish several books and made over $22,000 in their first year just on publishing on Amazon. You’re also gonna find out about the guy who read a book, this is a business owner that read a book, and because of that book he was able to make over $100,000 more per year with his business. And then you’re gonna learn about the guy who read a book and took a year off, took a sabbatical from his business, that was still running, still thriving, and still took care of his family while he took a year off from his business.

And there is more, so enjoy the next five books and their results. – Hey everyone, Eric Rosenberg here from PersonalProfitability.com and my favorite book that has changed the entire course of how I make money is The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau. I know his last name is kind of a mouthful there, but Chris is awesome, he runs great events, has several great books. This one was particularly meaningful for me though. Back when I discovered this book, I used to have a typical job in a gray cubicle every day, working eight to sixish in corporate America. It was the finance and accounting world, and this book taught me you don’t have to run your career the way other people expect you to.

You don’t have to follow the same blueprint and plan as everyone else. So following a lot of the points in this book, I rebuilt my career, I side hustled really hard, and I was able to take my freelance side hustle and turn it into a full time job. I quit two years ago, and it took me a few months after I quit to build up the income I have today, which is over $10,000 every month. If you can read it over my shoulder here, it says my last month income was $10,648. And that is not my biggest month ever, by far. And I wouldn’t have it if I hadn’t had the courage and the know how to build my own business and try something new, and this book gave me a lot of that courage that I needed to know that I don’t have to be like everyone else, I can build the business that’s right for me and make money the way that makes the most sense for the way I winna live.

So, a huge thanks to Chris for writing this book, The Art of Non-Conformity, I love it, it will always have a soft spot in both my heart, and my bookshelf. – Joseph Hogue, coming’ to ya from the Let’s Talk Money channel right here on YouTube.

I wanna thank Jeff for this opportunity to share a book with you that frankly has meant all the difference in my online income. In 2014 I had just started my own websites, I’d been freelancing for a few years, but now I was going to have my own online assets. I was going to be famous, like Jeff Rose famous. Then the reality set in, I wasn’t making as much money as I had hoped. I was frustrated, disappointed, and probably would’ve given up if it hadn’t been for Write, Publish, Repeat, By Sean Platt and Johnny Truant.

Hey, friends, welcome back to behind the Business, our live series where we have real conversations about entrepreneurship, what it takes to start a business from scratch, and how to grow your bookkeeping business into something that you’re very proud of. So today we’re here with my better half, Bill Rogers.

He’s the CEO here at the State Home Bookkeeper Academy. And we’re going to be talking about one of the biggest myths that we hear. I can’t start a bookkeeping business because I don’t have a degree. Bill, how many times do we hear that? All the time. All the time, right? The truth is you don’t need one. This is one of the most flexible, in demand and beginner friendly business models out there. And today Bill and I, we’re going to break that down and tell you exactly why.

So, are you guys ready? If you’re ready, I want to see you post here in the chat. Bill, are you ready? Let’s, let’s kind of, let’s kind of talk it off. Real talk. I know. Let’s do real talk and talk about it. Because I’ll tell you what, y’, all, y’ all have heard me say this before. Some of you have, some of you haven’t. I failed algebra in college. Anyone can do it.

All right? So, let’s just get that out there. I’m not afraid to tell you that.

And so we’ll go, we’ll get started here. I love all the chat here, everyone. Thank you so much. All right, Bill, why do you think people assume that they need a degree to start that bookkeeping business? People think they either need a degree or they need a certification, and you need neither to start your business.

You’re not CPAs. CPAs need a certification. Most CPAs are degreed. You’re not handling people’s taxes. You’re handling their bookkeeping and bookkeeping with, especially with, with what? We focus on QuickBooks. QuickBooks Online, you know, it’s data entry into a program that does all of the work for you. But we show you how to use the software, how to become an expert in the software you don’t have.

As Deanna said, you don’t have to be a, have an accounting major or finance major or something like that, or a license. No state in the United States requires you to have a certification, a license or degree to be a bookkeeper and help people track the expenses for their business. I love that. So then let’s, let’s ask, because I know people here are chatting about it. What skills or traits are actually more important than a degree. The biggest skill you have to have is a desire to help people because being a bookkeeper is helping other business owners.

You’re one business owner helping another business owner with a part of their business that they’re uncomfortable with. And most business owners are uncomfortable with bookkeeping not because of the numbers part, because it’s keeping them from what they are passionate about doing. And that’s about going out and growing and building their business. And by helping them grow and build their business and you’re growing and building your business. So that’s the number one skill you have to have is a desire to want to help people.

I think that’s so true because you think about it like the pool guy.




The pool guy does not want, he has a very successful business, but he does not want to be doing receipts. He wants to be able to hand that to you and you to be able to do that. I mean, everyone out there, they want to be able to focus on what they love and they’re passionate about and so that you can do what you do best to help them grow their business. I always look at it and I know Bill and I both do, we’re looking at as we’re helping them grow and scale their business business by what we can offer them. Right.
If that is something that excites you, I want to see you post here.

I want to see some chat here. If you, if this is something that you think you can do, I want to see that. Put me, put me there. All right. Why do you think, Bill, that this business model works so well? Is it because it’s high demand? I mean, I can tell you right now it’s like the people that we work with, it’s, it’s the flexibility, it’s a little overhead. But what are some things that make this business model work so well that. You think there’s two.

There is never a loss of demand for a bookkeeper. Every business out there needs, you know, there are something like 6 million new businesses every year that, that, that hit the, hit the US economy so, or the Canadian economy.

And there’s not a shortage of, of businesses. There’s a shortage of bookkeepers. That’s one.
Number two, what’s so great about bookkeeping is it’s a virtual based business. You can do it for anywhere. You can go out and, you know, go on a, a month-long holiday in Europe and still be able to run a fully profitable bookkeeping business. Those are, those are the two big things. Perfect. If you, I know you work with so many of our students. And you’re doing personal coaching too as well with several of them. Can you share a student story of someone that, that maybe had zero degree or zero experience that’s actually thriving? I, I can think of someone, I don’t know if you want to talk about her particular. Is there someone that just that you don’t mind sharing a story with? No. You know, one of the, one of the students that comes to mind is, is a student by the name of Terry Knowles.

And what I love about Terry’s story is she didn’t come to the academy with a sophisticated background, a pedigree of, of certifications and college degrees.

She came to the academy with a servant’s mentality that she wants to help people. And she has built a successful business and relocated from California to Utah and kept all of the clients that she had acquired in California and is now building a client based in Utah because of the flexibility and the relationships that she’s built. And it all started with that core trait of she just likes helping people. She’s got a servant’s mentality. And if you have that in your core, which is human nature, is that I want to help my neighbor beside me. I want to help someone in need. And it’s not the pedigree of the certification or the degree or the program or all of that that matters. At the end of the day, if you lead with offering help, assistance and value, if you lead with that, people aren’t going to ask what degree, what certification, what is that that you bring to the table? Because they see that you’re there to help them and people want to be helped.

Yeah. I was thinking also, just as you were talking through that, I was thinking of Jennifer Beckwith. She has been in business three years and, and just recently said she hit her five hundred-thousand-dollar milestone like she had no experience whatsoever and she just took it and ran with it. And I just, I think of people like that that just truly, truly have made such a difference and yet they now have that financial freedom that they’re looking for.

Right. Okay.

So, if you’re, if you’re thinking to yourself, I, I need, if you’re waiting for permission, you’re like someone, I need to, someone to tell me, I can do this. This is it. Seriously, this is it. You don’t need a degree. You know what you need? You need a plan. You need a plan. And we will help you build that plan.

So, I want you to know that we’re here to support you along the way.

If this is something that you would like to do. We want to help you. We want to help you take that next step. We want to help you actually build that plan and support you. So is you. What I would like to be able to do is share with you, and I’m going to put it here on our screen, a QR code. Bill, can you see that QR code right now? I see it. Okay, I want you all to scan that QR code and book a consultation with our team. We’ll help you build the plan. We’ll share with you what those next steps are, what that first 30, 60, 90 days looks like, and how you get that first customer so that you can be on your path to building your business.

All right, so scan that QR code. Get a.

Get a booked call with our team. Bill, is there any last words that you would like to share with anyone? Do not hesitate. Take action today. If you take action today, you owe it to yourself to at least hop on a call with our team to learn about how people just like you, in the same exact position that you’re in today grow and build their business. So what’s great is the academy has been around longer than any other, you know, coaching program of helping people grow and build their business.

And there have literally been over a thousand people been in the same shoes that you’re in today. The only difference is they took that first step to learn how that they could possibly build something for themselves. Sam.
