As someone who was part of the FlowSMP for some time, I can attest to the value I got out of the $15 / month I paid for it. Glad to finally see a quality take on this sort of thing. By the way, if you see this, how's the FlowSMP going these days? It's been a while and it was pretty quiet when I left.
Yooo Sky good to see you, it's pretty quiet not gonna lie. Tangent was on the other day but it's nothing like it used to be, sad. But the videos will always stay up as a memory
I never had any intention of going to college. I only started taking courses because I can take courses without having to pay because of the Army, and needed something else to pass the time while I was on deployment. Most of the training I went through reduced the amount of credits I needed for my bachelors. The tradeoff is I've had to spend a lot of time away from home and miss a lot of things. I never would've taken any courses if I had to pay full price for them because college is way too expensive for the amount of courses needed for a degree, especially when a lot of the courses are fluff and have nothing to do with what you're actually trying to learn.
Love the video flow, I Have Value. something i never really thought about. it really gives me hope. ive been playing on the SMP for about a week and i havent been this happy in months the people i meet the memories all the good times, interacting with flow its just been nothing but awesome! all for 15$ the things you bring to the table really get me inspired and i wanna build my own channel thanks to you! stay cool dude.
Say you have some valuable knowledge. You can sell that knowledge and make money, but only if you actually market that knowledge as a valuable product. And as a bonus, not only can you make money, but you can make connections and increase your network. ... if you dont like the idea of selling knowledge, then you can give it for free. However, when you give something for free, people will doubt the value of that information. They might not listen.. And if you beg people to listen to your knowledge or ideas which are free, now they might feel like they're the ones giving you value by giving you their time and attention. Selling yourself is extremely important skill in this digital age where peoples attention is hard to get and harder to keep. And its not just a skill, but a choice. Let alone making money, selling yourself (aka marketing skills) will help you make more friends or be treated with more respect in your community.
By the way its not just strangers or people you're not close with... even your close friends and even your family will treat you different depending on how you sell yourself. If you sell yourself, market the things you do, people will treat you better and give you more respect or attention. And when you don't sell yourself. When you present yourself as not being worth much, then yes.. even your close friends and family will treat you as less, will ignore and forget about you. So always always always be confident, even if its just pretending to be. Always always always hype up everything you do, even if its not that interesting. Because you have more value than you think. In today's day and age where everyone upsells everything and inflation and everything. You need to update your mindset to 2024, and especially try not to base your value on how things were back in 2010, because the dollar had more value then, and now It has less value and everyone has more relative value.
