As you know, I've been making videos for a couple of years. Now since the pandemic or just before the pandemic hit the end of 2019. But for the past few months, I haven't been making videos, and I was trying to figure out why I wasn't making the videos.

00:00LL Cool J had a song out years ago and it started off with don't call it a
00:07comeback I've been here for years it always sticks in my mind and that kind
00:11of is is the theme of this video as you know I've been making videos for a
00:16couple of years now since the pandemic or just before the pandemic hit the end
00:22of 2019 but for the past few months I haven't been making videos and I was
00:31trying to figure out why I wasn't making the videos it wasn't the the ideas I've
00:37got a massive list of things that I want to talk about and I kind of use these as
00:43a kind of a self diary and hopefully help people like you out there as well
00:49but I haven't been making videos and I was trying to figure out why that was
00:54and I think we all all of us struggle I haven't had a breakdown or a I need a
01:01break type thing nothing like that but it's just more a case of there's so much
01:06stuff that we have let me talk about me let's talk about me there's so much
01:13stuff that's going on in my life in a way nothing bad there's nothing weird
01:19going on I'm healthy wolf is healthy friends and family are healthy I have
01:26too much stuff and I mean physical stuff right now I'm the tech minimalist I love
01:32living simply and I've been on this journey for a few years now but I still
01:40have baggage all that stuff I still have around from my past from the things from
01:47the time before I started and it got to me it kind of completely got to me I
01:54went on a road trip with wolf to Portugal and Spain and when I got back I
02:02couldn't believe the amount of stuff that I didn't need to live the amount of
02:08stuff that I just didn't need we don't need all this stuff and it got me many
02:17depressed in the sense in the sense that okay I just I just want to sit and do
02:23nothing I haven't been doing nothing I've been doing lots of other things but
02:29the whole theme of this video literally is to kind of talk about things don't
02:38last forever we we hold on to things we hold on to so much stuff around us just
02:49in case we're going to use it just in case it might be handy but we got a kind
02:55of let go of that stuff and I've been through this with my physical stuff like
03:02furniture and trinkets and old computers and so on but I've also been
03:09like this with my business and with my company and as you know and many of you
03:15know because you've been acting me what are you doing with your business you
03:20keep going back and forth from McJunkie to your own domain name to your own
03:25brand and I simply didn't know what I was doing I knew something had to change
03:32things have to change but I just didn't know what was the right thing to do and
03:37I feel a lot of people are like that they want to change but they don't know
03:43why they should change or whether they should change and I was there and that's
03:49why I haven't been making videos for the past couple of months few months now
03:53because I just didn't know where I was but it's all fixed now it's I've
03:59basically my best friend floor chair she knows somebody who's a marketer and
04:05brand specialist I sat down with him I mean I'm a talker but he's a freaking
04:11talker oh and his name is and I'm going to have them on a podcast actually soon
04:15and he basically said to me shut up and stop doing this that and the other do
04:20this and do that and do the other and it was eye-opening in the sense that I
04:26thought I knew everything I thought I could do this myself and Jen and I love
04:31doing everything myself I love learning all of this stuff but apparently I
04:36didn't know what I was doing I was doing things wrong I wasn't using the
04:41specific tools that I should be using to grow my business now I know those tools
04:46now I know how to do these things now I know not to dilly-dally between the two
04:52brands that I have so I've basically closed one brand and gone back to gone
04:59back to started using my own brand and even these past couple of weeks it's
05:06been really really good as it has in the past things need to change if you stick
05:14to the same doing the same thing all the time it's not yielding you know any
05:21different results you've got to change the thing that you need to do and I've
05:26been in that situation where I've just had to change I know this video is kind
05:32of a bit of a ramble and it has nothing to do with tech minimalism at all but
05:36this is the beauty of branding I can basically talk about anything and
05:40everything within simplicity and tech minimalism if that makes any sense
05:46anyway have a great day as always keep it simple I'll see you in the next one
