what's up Doug comes in here I'm gonna
tell you about what to do when things go
wrong how to regroup and hopefully get
back on track so I believe we're gonna
have a couple people on in a second
I think the audio is good it's always
uncertain until we get started
cool looks like it's good so if you're
just joining up welcome I'm gonna go
ahead and get right into it so today I
woke up pretty early I my in-laws have
been in town for a few days and I had to
fly out very early so I woke up at like
4:00 a.m. everybody woke up they headed
to the airport and all that stuff I see
we got a couple people on we got cue dog
Adrian Dennis and a name which I cannot
pronounce but thanks for joining up
we got Sara on to someone from the
Ukraine what's up that's cool from Kiev
awesome
so right now I am right in the middle of
on today and I'll just sort of lay it
out for you so yeah yeah I think it's I
see black shots on yeah let me know
where you're from and everything if
you're if it's your first time on let me
know if it's your first time on live
always curious to hear about that so
Kent is on - okay so here's the deal I
woke up very early
I had some things planned I'll probably
just unload a little bit but here's the
thing I am at a point where like I have
a very I guess my frustration level is
high but I know I got a lot of stuff
that I need to do today so basically I'm
gonna have to regroup even though a lot
of things went off the rails and I'll
describe a couple of them for you today
and then I'll tell you like how I'm
gonna regroup and tech your labs on also
Ken's on thanks everyone for joining
okay so a couple of the main things that
I was going to work on today they were
around the launch of the course 5 figure
niche site so I am preparing
for it it's going to open up in a couple
weeks here and I'm just making sure that
I have like the sales page ready now if
you're a longtime viewer or you've seen
me talk about themes and stuff I use
thrive architect it's it used to be
called content builder but now it's
called architect and I don't like it
much I've told people I don't like
thrive themes in general there's so many
options the usability is really bad and
I've just I've had issues with it over
time and all I needed to do was update I
think like five areas of text with new
like new dates new I mean really just
edit text super easy not more than a
hundred and fifty characters I mean
we're talking really minor stuff really
just changing dates minor things and if
it was just straight up in WordPress
well that wouldn't be too bad it would
just take like two or three minutes and
I could do it but would thrive architect
it is very difficult to edit text now
and you're probably shaking your head at
me the thing is I try and use just a
single font throughout I attempt to
write thing is whenever you edit text
and thrive or at least the way I'm doing
it whatever I'm doing wrong
the text formatting changes to the font
changes so I'm trying I'm using like
Arial font and it's changing to like
Times New Roman super frustrating very
frustrating right and basically you know
I'm working through trying to get it
right and sometimes after like add new
text elements and just everything's
really slow so eventually after about
two hours remember should only take like
five minutes so after two hours I've
made the updates I think and then all of
a sudden that page stops loading in the
Thrive editor so I had to go over to
thrive and like open a support account
because I've had the
editor for more than a year I need to
get help so that's one thing that went
wrong now the other thing is that I am
working with some affiliates so I have a
couple landing pages that I set up with
thrive on my site and I have a couple of
fill of affiliates in the one of the
affiliates sent out an email blast this
morning to talk about a webinar that I'm
doing tomorrow
unfortunately the link that he sent out
is like going to a 404 page I'm not sure
why the page is there and we're using
the you know affiliate WP editor or
generator right the URL generator to
send people to a custom page and it's
just like not going there so I have no
idea what's wrong so multiple things are
going wrong here and I see that um krill
cut says your front-end developer and
you could help me okay you know what I
may actually email you because I'm
pretty sure I'm gonna try to have
someone migrate my thrive content
builder page to like HTML it's like so
that when I look at the code it's like
so long and so bloated like I just I
wanted to be a little bit tighter so
yeah anyway basically a lot of things
are going wrong and I won't even get
into some of the other areas where
things are going wrong but when you're
starting out right you think I mean once
I get to some level things are gonna be
smooth like things aren't gonna go wrong
I'm not gonna have trouble with my theme
I'm not gonna have trouble with you know
plugins working together because it'll
just be fine what turns out that's not
true like there's always some level of
problems now my problems are like
usually a little bit bigger so you know
when I first launched and it's a niche
site project when I send out emails or
something it would only go out to a few
hundred people because my email list was
small now I have affiliates sending
emails out to like
5,000 people and the links back right
you know what are you supposed to do so
well one I have to you know remain calm
this one thing can't get too frustrated
I'm actually probably as soon as we
finish here I'm probably gonna take a
break and go to the gym and chill out
for a couple hours and then come back
and regroup I may even take a nap you
know sometimes it's good to get some
rest
I've been drinking coffee since like
4:00 a.m. so it's uh it's the caffeine
is probably not like improving my
anxious level so anyway the point is
things will continue to go wrong things
go wrong along the way I built a lot of
well this is not super clear but I build
a lot of slack in my schedule today so
like I got a lot of stuff done but at
the same time you got to build slack
into your schedule because if you fill
it up too much
when things go wrong like everything
gets pushed the day feels like a failure
I used I used to spiral like out of
control like early in the day and then
the rest of the day was just just a mess
so the other part is you know you can
just you know I know it's gonna be fine
like email links or links in that email
that my affiliates sent out you know 404
but in a day or two it's not gonna be a
big deal in a week I won't even remember
in like in a couple months it's
literally not gonna matter at all you
know it's not cool but you know that
happened so I'm gonna I'm gonna look at
the chat here I see some good
conversation and you know I had another
topic to cover today but you know part
of its that therapy for me just to
complain some but I mean I hope we all
learned something from it
including myself right so okay take a
look here Kirill shoot me an email if
you can these chats kind of go away so
shoot me an email if you can and then if
there are unrelated questions I'm
probably just gonna skip them today
so chic what's up from Dallas Jeff's on
how's it going Leo's on how are you Paul
Pierre says if I need a developer should
you an email okay cool cool cue dog says
you're losing or you're you're chuckling
because you lose it with faulty
technology type plugins WordPress issues
and stuff like that
Adrienne tells me to go punch something
at the gym other Doug is on and Kriol
real you know what if you look hard you
could find my email but I'm not I'll be
on so then probably I can I go search
search it out for you so someone if you
google it you could find my email okay
so does anyone have any suggestions on
what you know or advice based on what
you do when you get frustrated so you
know for me there's a lot of different
factors and as far as like other things
that can go wrong so I have I don't have
many plugins on the five-figure niche
site like core site but there are some
very critical ones the LMS the learning
management system is a zippe courses and
then I'm using affiliate WP which you
know they're integrated they're supposed
to work together I also have
integrations with you know PayPal for
payment processing and then Aweber for
email management so not complex as far
as like some crazy funnel it's very
simple however there are integrations or
for things that sort of need to work
together the payment processing the
email the affiliate management and then
the course management and the the course
management software Tzipi courses
affiliate WP are not working together
how they're supposed to and I had two
open tickets with both teams and then
get them to talk to each other
it was super frustrating because
the I guess like the support people
don't necessarily know what the product
managers know so they don't know like my
use case they don't know how the flows
supposed to work they just help telling
me they kept telling me that it was
working properly but it wasn't working
properly and they just they kept asking
me the same questions I was sending them
log files and just I was sending them a
lot of stuff but they just they couldn't
get it so after I coached them you know
this is literally what I did in my
corporate job right so I would get teams
that didn't like each other and we're
working against each other to talk to
each other so that everyone in the
project would would come out okay so it
it was definitely a point in which I
realized that like most people probably
would have given up after they asked
like five or six times because these
these developers were just asking me the
same these support people were they were
just asking me the same questions over
and over they wouldn't accept what I was
telling them so anyway just you have to
be you know patient and keep trying and
there's always a solution and I just got
to stay calm so Sarah tells me the
headspace has been helping you a lot the
that's the guided meditation app I've
heard of it
you think more people need to be
transparent that this stuff is hard and
it's supposed to be yeah exact like it's
hard I do have the luxury to like work
out during the day but you know I think
I mentioned it the other day I woke up
and like you know I woke up early I went
to the gym and I worked out like I did
that when I was working a full-time job
so I mean there's some really awesome
parts for like that you get when you
work for yourself but at the same time
like there's areas that you can get
frustrated about the great part though I
will say one of the biggest things is I
know I used to get more frustrated with
like the politics and the team structure
and
having to go to meetings that were
pointless and nothing got done and I
know that is a thing that is gone like
any meetings that I attend like those
are my own meetings I set up I don't
want to do something or if I don't want
to work with someone or if I don't want
to work with a client or student or
something like I can give I don't have
to write I can just refund the money and
like stop so okay
Aliyah says you started your career at
Dairy Queen you clean bathrooms wash
dishes with detergent that bothered your
skin when you have a bad day you get a
blizzard because it makes you thankful
that's pretty good I like that thankful
for how far you've come
you may have a bad day but at least
you're have freedom in your life now and
you have enough money to live
comfortably in the DQ x really just
change your outlook on life that's a
good thing to remember that's and you
get a blizzard also you know there's a
blizzard Ambassador Program so basically
you give him your email address and then
they send you coupons every now and then
my wife's Matt Adrian tells me that
personally he gets away from whatever
you're doing you leave for the day and
you go watch a movie nice
all right krill emailed me thanks for
looking up and all right Paul tells me
going for a run is a great reset and you
know what that is that is something that
I used to do used to trying to run like
three four or five times a week but I'm
having like some calf issue so I was I
ran one half marathon this year and I
wanted to run like three more but just
fighting with injuries and sort of
technique and probably getting older so
anyway um lady Leila says do I use for
thrive themes on my niche sites no way
no way I try to not use thrive
as much as possible as often as possible
and as soon as I as soon as I can find
someone to migrate my page over to the
theme that I'm using or something that I
could load I don't care what it is I'd
rather just edit an HTML page then have
to deal with working with thrive and as
far as baby gear lab I don't know what
they use for tables I suspect it's a
custom solution Doug says judo classes
are a good way to forget about the daily
grind and you have to pay attention at
the task at hand a good way to blow off
steam
Oh Blake's on you got a live stream
awesome a reset that Blake uses is
cracking a beer and listening to a
record that's nice nice
it is 10:20 a.m. here so I probably
shouldn't have a beer yet but maybe
later in the day and I'm trying to think
if there's any other related stuff as
far as you know resetting but I think in
general the consensus of the group is
like take a break I got to remember that
like you know in a couple days
everything will be cool and yeah
basically I plan on things not working
out and like having more slack in my
schedule so those are those are good
things
oh and I just remembered one other thing
I'm doing an interview with like a much
bigger youtuber than I am and actually
I'm gonna talk to her tomorrow morning
but she's sort of like in a different
like niche in general but we have a
decent overlap with digital Nomad type
topics so that'll be cool but I was
chatting with her this morning just like
a pre-interview talk and stuff and yeah
she's she's she was like experiencing
the same kind of stuff not the
frustration but just yeah like stuff
work like you have to go through and do
the work and a lot of it is tedious and
you're answering emails it's our own
work so that's great but it's not easy
and you know she's not like just
traveling constantly she is in a you
know different a different place than
you know she's traveling but she's slow
traveling so she's just hanging out but
yeah she works she works a lot so okay
cool I did see some questions come in
I'll just say I'll answer them super
quick and then we'll get out of here for
today Adria and if I tried schema now
recommendations for tables
I use it HTML table generator and John
says since Amazon getting too close
sites I'm not sure what that means but
you say you're using just WordPress
instead of thrive yep that's what I
started doing for sales pages that's you
know the content builder is good but
okay cool
it looks like we're all set here and
don't forget I'm doing a webinar
tomorrow okay I'm doing a webinar
tomorrow which I can actually send you
or I'll put a link in here and then on
Friday is the Q&A so if you have
questions ask on Friday if you have
questions you should ask on Friday and
I'm gonna grab the link for the webinar
tomorrow where the topic is SEO that
works for niche and authority sites
right and as far as the Q&A with Alex
today I haven't chatted with him today I
may skip it today cuz
takes an hour of my time I got other
stuff to do so I may catch up with Alex
later though and see what's going on but
generally I haven't talked to him in the
last couple days okay awesome see
everyone later and thanks for listening
to me complain I hope we all got
something out of it just remember
everyone goes through frustrating times
and just don't spiral out of control so
see ya
