All right. So the second toxic mentality is thinking, I don't have anything to teach. Hmm. I don't have anything to teach. The idea of I can compete with the millions of experts out there. It's an old one.
When you know something, it's familiar to you. It seems mundane, dow even. But once you start talking with somebody who needs that knowledge, you can see what impact it has on that person. From a simple fence to people thanking you for changing their lives because of what you've put out there. You're not in charge of deciding what's mundane and what's not. Hmm, are you a technical guy?
Maybe people won't pay for learning how to install Windows. But what about for re studying windows without losing their hard drive content? The Complete Guide Are you In high school, got over a hard math exam while also having time to play. How many colleagues of yours would love to do exactly that? This is how v logs are born and how online courses are, start have started. Maybe you are more into exploring your internal world, your emotions.
Well, there are people like me who struggle identifying their emotions. I was in a workshop A while ago called falling in love with your emotional self. I thought I was never angry. And they only had one story of repressed anger. It was in the 11th grade when I went to a wine festival and basically I got beaten by three people arrived home with ice on my your head with my year something of interest range sound. And I remember that I felt hopeless, totally, totally hopeless.
And that's when I threw a punch in the wall and hurt my hand. And the next day I went to the hospital for my hand for my year and for my head. It was a dramatic experience from a traumatic experience for me. I still remember it as being the only moment when I felt anger towards my helplessness. I didn't even care about the people that beat me. I only wanted to not feel that helpless again.
And from that point on from 11th grade that's over 13 years ago, I never felt anger except when internet didn't work and it just, I just got over it or shout very hard internet and that it. But during that workshop, I realized that there were instances where I had high a high level of irritation. And I considered that high level of irritation not being anger being irritation. But my colleagues in the workshop considered that anger and I realized then in that workshop, I had an insight that our emotions, how I feel and how they feel, can be we can have the same emotion but just have different words for that emotion. What I consider anger may be a higher level of irritation, but they can cause their anger just when they start a bit to get irritated. Who knows.
So it was a discovery for me and I would love to see a course on identifying your emotions or figuring out your emotional self be developed. So if you have experience in thinking about your internal world and exploring it, why not create a course on that one, I would be a buyer. As apparently this after I launch this course, I guess that I will get so many requests to join courses from my students regarding emotional development that I'm sorry, I will choose one out of the next hundred. Thank you. All right. The third toxic mentality is thinking I lack the technical skills.
I lack the technical skills. Okay, I must confess, I am a technical guy. But I tried taking myself out of the equation when launching an online course and I was able to do it without any of my skills, actually, with no skill at all. So I only had the idea and the money and I created Photoshop for Narcissus. Yeah, that was the nickname of the course. Now, it sounds a bit not that narcissistic.
And what I did in that course was to create basic to show people how to use basic Photoshop tools to edit FACEBOOK PHOTOS, for example, when you do like this, using the power of Photoshop muscles can grow, you know, or you can have a tattoo or get rid of these dummy cells. So what I did was I hired the guy to edit of the photos while his screen was recorded. And then I also hired a voiceover artists to talk over that screen recorded and the course was completed. But you know, you can do it without the money and you know how By learning what you don't know, and leveraging what the course offers the ability to ask me, when ever you are stuck, all the issues you might encounter are treated in the document I'm providing you with. And if you find something new, I'd love to help you overcome it.
It actually helps me improve the course. And future students who thank you for that. On the other end of the spectrum, at another conference, mountain climber called Frank grant, had a workshop on therapy using wilderness. And after that workshop, seeing that I was more of a technical guy, he came to me and asked me for some things regarding launching his book on Kindle, because he was not a technical guy, and seeing that he didn't have those particular skills nor was he That interested in developing them because we are not all inclined to study the technicalities, especially if we can skip them. I recommended him to hire a virtual assistant. And you can hire one for 200 to $500 to handle all the it stuff in your life.
Or you can do it for a quarter of that some project based by hiring the person just to edit the videos or just to upload the content or even you can have shoot some children, some maybe colleagues of your sons or daughters to come over and help you with the recording. So it's not that impossible to skip over all the mess, that technical stuff and just find a way to arrive at the same result. You just need to be inventive and have fun while doing it.
