  Are you looking for the map? Are you looking for the road map? What if there's a treasure map? What if there's a treasure map that can bring you to now what?
• 0:11
  And all the way to. Oh, I know what to do.
• 0:14
  I'm Bradley Schwabineau and this is Thursday Thunder and the Repossible podcast.
• 0:20
  I am going to record for the next nine or so more minutes in an attempt to clarify my message, to get clarity on what I'm working on for 2025. I can highly recommend you do the same. In fact, I'm going to be using some tools I'll tell you about in part three of this little mini topic here and tell you how to get feedback on your ideas through using certain software. Okay, here we go. Three ideas, all under the Repossible brand. Remember, I have to give you a tiny bit of background and this is where this comes from.
• 0:58
  I currently am subscribed to Teachable as well as Mailerlite. I've been a both of them for, I don't know, at least eight years.
• 1:06
  I spend thousands of dollars, euros per year on these tools and shocker, shocker, newsflash, I am canceling them both.
• 1:18
  So I'm using new software. I can tell you about it if you want. It's called Fluent and it's gonna cost me roughly 18 cents a month. Okay, that aside, I don't want to get this get into a tech conversation, but what's happening is that I am moving or migrating all of my world, my online world, my teaching, my mailing lists, my landing pages, everything, courses, bonus content from books. I'm moving it all from Teachable and Mailerlite to this new software on this new place. You can find out more@repossible.com so what's happening, sort of an unintended effect is that it's spring, as you may be able to tell from the glorious greens I'm seeing here in the forest. And I'm getting a spring cleaning.
• 2:09
  So because I'm moving all these things right, I'm. I had, this is almost embarrassing, but I had 39 different courses or bonus content course like services or offerings on teachable on Mailerlite, I think I was maxing it out. I think had something like 50 different landing pages.
• 2:32
  So rather than just mindlessly migrate all of this garbage I garbage says of his own work, I thought it's time to clean up.
• 2:42
  And frankly, I'm doing. If you want to make that number a hundred, it probably wouldn't be too far of a shot off, but I'm making that I want to have three main goals.
• 2:56
  The all of the reading I think I've ever read is, you know, do one thing and do it well. You know, focus, focus, focus, niche, niche, niche. Right. And I absolutely don't do that. I am absolutely a thin generalist. So where I do hundred things pretty well, maybe. Kinda. Whereas I would be better off doing one thing a hundred times and doing it super well. Right. Becoming an absolute expert. So I'm not gonna get from 100 down to 1, I can guarantee it. In fact, I'm not even sure I'm gonna get down to three, but I'm gonna try. And here I want to summarize. And the reason again I'm doing this, you'll see in part three of my little plan here, is I have been using some software that does a very interesting take on summarizing your content. Not only summarizing it, but taking a different perspective on it. And you can sort of guide that conversation with inputs. So here we go.
• 3:57
  Number one, two, three. Really quickly, one would be now what?
• 4:02
  And number two would be one, like the one project, the one challenge. And number three needed a better name for this, but it's currently OPA or other people's audiences. But it's really about marketing and sharing and kind of that element of what I'm looking for, the different perspective on the same amount of content. So part three is sort of sharing. So I think if I had to summarize them into one words, it would be decide, act or take action. Decide, act and share.
• 4:34
  There you go. Decide, act, share. That's what I want to do. And so that's what I kind of want to do for clients as well and, and readers of my books and viewers and listeners and stuff. So I just made that up, by the way. Decide, act and share. And we're going to find out because I'm going to put this, this 10 minutes through this ringer, through this software, and we're going to see what they say about what I'm talking about. So I'm at five minutes. I need to wrap this up because I've got four minutes basically to go through three different ideas.
• 5:04
  They are related, which is one reason I'm going through this. They're related. But I think only I see it in my scatterbrain of a brain right now. What is about decision making and how we make decisions, why we make decisions, how do we make better decisions? How? Faster, better. We can make him faster and better.
• 5:24
  So how do we do that? And what blocks us? Right? And that's when I get into stuff like clarity, courage and confidence. And also the villain, the hero and the guide. The villain is like the bad guy and holds us back. And the hero is who we want to be and we are in some, some ways I think the guide is the real goal. The guide is then when you're helping others, you're helping, frankly, you're helping villains become heroes. Okay, so that's now what. And the subtitle could very well be my repossible tagline for years. Which, which is who will you be next? Right. So now what is about decisions? What kind of decisions can I make? I get in very much into processes and systems and how the decisions we make on a daily basis, when you add them up, that's who we turn into.
• 6:13
  So what we do on a regular basis is who we become.
• 6:16
  And I'm very much about action taking and having projects and that's how we create meaning in our life as well.
• 6:23
  Okay, that is now what?
• 6:26
  Next up is one.
• 6:29
  And this is a project I've been working on for years. I've run in person workshops, online workshops. I have a book, I've got a audiobook probably.
• 6:37
  I. Yeah, I do. And this is about. And this is where I need to work on the messaging of this one a little better. But it's. It's one word mantra, your one word that's going to guide you for the, for the year. It's a bit who will. It's also who would who will you be next? It's a roadmap. I like to use the word treasure map to who will you be next?
• 7:02
  And I like this little phrase I'm pretty sure I got from Edwina. It is from A to B to C and C is like S, E, E. Right, From A to B to C.
• 7:15
  So you need to take the action or have the clarity to know what action to take or first take action and then you get the clarity or first have the clarity and then you take the action. I'm much more of like an action first kind of guy, but most people are clarity first kind of people, so that's fine. So then the one word book, there's a lot more to it. I have an entire program where we write this book. It's not really just one word, although it's one word in one chapter. There's more to it. So that is the one challenge or the one word challenge or I need a better title for it. But basically it's all about one word for one year and how each year you're a different person, so you should really be doing this every year. There's a part where you write about the present, and then there's a part called the epilogue where you write from the future back to the past, back to the current day. And you're sort of forecasting, I think it's called future history of your situation, your status, your life, your everything you want to do. Okay. Okay. I have a minute and a half to get to part three of this, which is the. The bad. The marketing title is opa or Other People's audiences had a great chat with Janet last night, who said, yeah, Bradley, that's great for, like, marketing people who know what other people's audiences are and the benefits of that. But what are you really doing?
• 8:36
  Well, what I'm really doing here, I'm gonna just give it to you straight. It's. I am interviewing people, having a chat on zoom, a discussion, a dialogue with people, and talking about whatever they're doing, right? Is it their book or is it their course, or is it their whatever, their business?
• 8:53
  And then through that, they get to share their message. And then tech dude over here, I'm gonna take that and I'm gonna chop it up into a whole bunch of pieces. And then they're gonna have snippets and clip and excerpts and reels and all these lovely things that they can use in their marketing. What we're also going to do is hone their skills at interviewing. How do they get better on an interview on a podcast or a YouTube? How do they know what to talk about? How can they summarize stuff? How can they get better at clarifying their message?
• 9:26
  And then we're going to use a tool that I've been hinting at all along that's going to analyze that discussion and make yet another piece of content that will give them a different perspective on that same content. And then we're going to chop all of that up, too. Finally, a little sneak peek. But I'm going to use certain advertising. I won't mention which platform. It's kind of odd to promote this stuff. Okay, I have 10 seconds. That's it. That's my 2025. And you'll see in the next video the summary of this and what the others think of what I'm doing. Bye for now.
