News on Youtube Nov 5 2018

Well, it's been a year since we started building our tiny shipping container house.

So it's about time to update you guys on the cost of building a shipping container house.

So, let's get started.

I'm Duca.

And I'm Roberta.

And together we are building our own tiny shipping container house.

So, don't forget to subscribe.

And to join us every Monday for a new episode.

Well, for those of you who don't know

this is part 2 of a small series inside of our big series.

What I mean by that is that

it's the second video about "how much did it cost to build our shipping container house?"

I mean how much is costing because we didn't it finish yet. We still have a lot of work to do.

So basically, this is an update of the old cost video.

So, what did we talk about on the other video?

So, on the part one we talked about: how much cost to build the footings (US$ 444).

(*all the prices in US Dollars)

How much we paid for the shipping container (US$ 2738), some modifications (US$ 492).

How much did it cost you cut the shipping container (US$ 790) to install the windows (US$ 2215)

to weld the window frames.

Paintings (US$ 295) and the wooden deck (US$ 1610) and roof and gutter (US$ 820).

Miscellaneous (US$ 523).

So basically that's all we talked about on the first part, and that's the total amount.

US$ 9,927 -> Brasil R$ 32.263 Total until episode 22.

We're gonna leave the video on the description bellow.

So if you're curious to know more in depth informations about all these prices...

Like how many screws we used on a deck, What kind of...

How many pieces of wood and what kind of painting

and how much each kind of painting costs and all these...

How many bottles of gas for welding how many kilos of...

And everything.

All the details are gonna be on this episode.

But there is one exception that... when we posted this video we haven't finished yet the wooden deck.

So we have an extra US$ 313 on the wooden deck (Soffit and Fascia Board).

So that's the update price on this stage of the building. US$ 10,240 -> R$ 33.280Brasil).

So what did you since then?

So since then we have been working a lot.

So basically the first video we did on maybe 4 months of building. (*actually 5,5)

And now we've been building for one year.

So in this past 6, 7 months or something (*6,5). We have done so much.

So, we did the internal framing, the insulation, the ceiling, the plywood walls, the electrical design, the green wall.

A canopy for the entry door. We did some more painting, a lot more cutting and welding.

Miscellanies again.

We built some working benches. We are sitting on it.

And we bought some new tools.

So, that's what we're gonna... yeah, a lot of new tools, yep.

So that's what we're gonna talk about today: all this new stuff.

So let's get started.

Internal framing (Wall framing).

Framing basically we decided to use a metal frame instead of wooden frame.

The reasons are... we have a lot of reasons.

We're gonna leave on the description also the episode about framing.

You can check it out if your curious why we used that.

So basically we used 15tracks + 58studs (US$ 219.46).

Around 400 screws (US$ 8,92).

And 12 planks of the wood Cambara (3/4" x 3" x 10ft) US$ 62,43.

Oh! That's the frame. Yeah. I was trying to remember what was it.

The wooden frame that we have.

Yeah, we have metal frame for the walls.

But we have a wooden frame around the windows for architecture purpose.

Just because we think it's really good.

We like the... it's just a good design. It feels good to have like a wooden hardwood framing.

So, that's...

The total for the framing was US$ 290.81.

That's the total for framing.

So that's wall framing and window frames.

That's the total.

The insulation.

Insulation we decided to use a kind of insulation that's called 3TC here.

It's just the company that sells it in Brazil.

But it's basically aluminium foil with a eps core.

With aluminium tape to join to make sure you seal all the joints.

So we used 1011 sq ft of aluminum foil (US$ 361.90).

We still have some leftover that we are gonna use to cover the windows to protect against the sun.

And also to insulate the doors of the shipping container that we didn't do yet.

Because it's gonna be a storage place and we don't want the storage place to get hot.

And we used aluminum... 820 feet of aluminum tape. That's a lot of tape. (US$ 5.88).

But that's a really cheap tape also. So it's fine.

6 cans of spray foam (US$ 43.38) to insulate around the windows and doors.

Yes, because this kind of insulation needs to be really sealed

and it's hard to seal with tape around the windows.

It's just the... the metal won't glue the tape. So used spray foam and it's really good.

Like... it seals really really well. And it was not that expensive also.

And we used some contact glue to...

Yeah, we didn't use much so we're not gonna put the price of the contact glue here.

Because we use a lot more contact glue on the ceiling panels.

So we're gonna leave this glue for there and just pretend this was leftover from the panels.

So the total for the insulation was this (US$ 411.16).

And talking about the ceiling.

Yes. Ceiling is something that could be cheaper. It could, for sure.

But we wanted to do the ceiling as it is. It just looks great.

We're just in love with the ceiling.

We love the exposed beams.

Yeah, it's just a...

We could do like drywall on the ceiling, that would be a lot a lot cheaper.

But I think we don't regret because it just looks really good and it was a little bit expensive.

So let's go to what we used on the ceiling.

6 sheets of plywood (5.25ft x 7,2ft x 1/2") US$ 148.70.

32 pressure treated pine (10ft x 1 1/2" x 2 3/4") US$ 129.73.

Yeah, the pressure treated pine is to make sure the plywood wouldn't warp.

We built a box on the top of the plywood.

So just to make sure it won't warp much, because I mean it always warp, you know?

10 white laminated (10,1ft x 4,1ft) US$ 338.73.

That's what's expensive.

The laminated because we wanted to have a laminated finish and laminated comes in a really not wide panel.

So we needed to buy a lot more than we actually used. So that's why it's so expensive. But...

We have a lot of leftovers.

And we're gonna use that for the furniture. So it's fine.

Does... You know... it seems expensive now, but we're gonna use it in the future then it's gonna be for free.

So it's...

12 beams (10ft x 2" x 4") US$ 108.11.

The beams are just exposed beams, it's 2x4.

We're gonna... we did already.

We just used it to support the ceiling panels and it looks great.

Around 300 screws (US$ 10).

31 pounds of contact glue (US$ 115.97).

That was a lot of glue.

We glued for a long time.

And that's the glue we also used for the insulation. So it's the same thing.

12 ounces of spray contact glue (US$ 7.41).

That was just a test that we didn't really liked. We have just tried to use contact glue spray and...

We didn't know much to use of it.

It was like... I think we used too much because it's just hard to control it but we decide to use the old method.

The stain the we used on the beams we are gonna put with the painting.

Yeah, welding and painting we are gonna put all them together, even though there are different, you know... jobs.

We're gonna just add them together. It's easier.

Ceiling US$ 858.65.

So the plywood walls.

Plywood walls, that was a long long job. That was the last thing we have done and the plywood walls...

was a lot of work because we didn't know at first if we're gonna do plywood walls or

drywall and drywall and plywood, here in Brazil at least, they have different width.

So basically comes in different sizes panel and we decided to use plywood instead of drywall.

So the studs were not exactly right place where they were supposed to be.

So we had a lot of leftovers.

Yeah, we needed to cut the plywoods into a lot of pieces but we used all these small pieces to

do the walls where are gonna be cabinets. So we used all the plywood. We didn't throw anything away.

So it's good, but we had a lot of work.

So we used 13 sheets of plywood (1/2" x 8,2ft x 5,25ft) US$ 465,82.

Around 700 screws (US$ 8.11). And some scrap MDF (US$ 6.76) that we used to build some templates.

Yeah, but it wasn't that expensive. The total amount is US$ 480.69.

For the entire wall of the shipping container. I think it's a pretty good price.

Electrical we didn't do a 100% of the electrical yet. I mean we didn't... we almost didn't do anything.

All we have done...

We've just prepared it.

Yeah, we did like all the preparation for the future electrical wiring.

We have only the conduits inside of the walls.

We have some electrical boxes.

We have 328ft of 3/4" conduit (US$ 21.62).

But we have a lot of leftovers.

Out of this we used probably 60%.

40% is left. And the reason for that is because we're gonna have shafts

and inside of the shafts we also are gonna have conduits.

So it comes in a huge roll.

It's cheaper if you buy like that, so we just have leftovers for the shafts that we're gonna use in the future.

So 10 conduits connectors (US$ 2.05).

And 9 small boxes, electrical boxes (0.8" x 1.6") US$ 7.05.

1 big electrical... 1 big electrical box (6.8" x 7.3" x 3.1") US$ 6.26.

1 lamp.

External lamp (entry door) US$ 32.70.

The lamp is just really cool.

Yeah, the entry door lamp we also bought some wiring for the lamp (20ft of 1/16" wiring - US$ 1.17).

We didn't wiring yet, but we needed to turn on the lamp.

How we're gonna you know... put the lamp in place and not see how it looks?

It looks great, we love it.

So, we just used 20ft of wiring.

So the total amount for electrical until now is this US$ 70.85.

It's gonna be a lot more than that for sure. But it's just the beginning.

So, the green wall.

The green wall basically is just reinforcement rebars

welded together to form a place where the climbing trees can climb in the future.

So we used 6 bars of reinforcement (20ft x 1/4") US$ 25.10.

That's the thickness of the rebar.

Green wall US$ 25.10.

And the paint we used we're gonna talk in the painting. The welding we're gonna talk in the welding.

Canopy.

Canopy is a long story.

A lot of people say that our canopy is over engineered.

I don't agree with that necessarily.

But the reason why we did that canopy is because we really wanted to try this method that is ply-glass.

That's how it's called. It's plywood with fiberglass.

So it's how some people build boats.

And we spent 3 weeks (*actually 4) building the canopy.

That was a good experience.

In the last episode about the canopy we have all the cost detailed.

So here's the link for the canopy.

Yeah, it's easier to see there because it's just too much to add here.

And the total cost is this.

It's US$195.35.

I don't know people say it's expensive but I don't think so. Because if we bought like I a ready canopy like a...

cheap canopy would cost like 200 and something.

And we have a canopy that's it's gonna last longer than the shipping container.

And we liked the result.

It's been a few months and it's just exactly the same way it was.

I'm looking there because it's right there.

But looks exactly the same as it was when we built it and it's gonna last for a long time.

Painting.

Painting is curious because we've been buying so many different kinds of painting for the last year

and we always have some leftovers.

That means that right now a lot of stuff that we painted

was using painting that we already add on the first video.

So we are not spending much on painting lately.

We're gonna say... we're gonna tell you about the paintings we've bought since then.

Yes. Since then we bought one gallon of thinner (US$ 11.85).

1/2 gallon of synthetic enamel (US$ 15.68).

5 gallons of undercoating (US$ 59.46). That's a lot because the can of undercoating is just 5 gallons.

It's huge.

But we're gonna use it for so many things like, we painted the whole ceiling, internal ceiling with it.

We painted the whole south external wall.

And we're gonna paint all the rest of the container.

It's a really thick rubbery paint that sticks so well to the metal

and then you can paint with synthetic enamel on the top.

So we really like it and this amount is probably gonna be enough for a whole shipping container.

So it's pretty good.

One gallon of stain (US$ 40.22).

That was for the beams, for the ceiling beams.

20 ounces of black matte vinyl (US$ 9.66).

That was for the brackets of the brise outside.

And the total cost for painting.

That's the total cost US$ 136.87.

Yes. So that means like of course in the past 6 months we used a lot more painting than this.

What we mean is that we used the old paints that we already had so the cost is here.

It's on the before video, on the last video.

Cutting and welding.

Cutting and welding we did a lot more on the first half of the house.

Because it was when we cut the windows and install the...

You know... we cut the shipping container, installed the window.... openings and whatever.

Right now all we have done with cutting and welding are...

The beam, we have a structural beam to hold the ceiling panels on the center of the house.

The brackets to hold the framing.

Oh, yeah, the brackets to hold the internal frame. There are a lot of small brackets.

All the metals we used are also leftovers.

So the metal beam we had leftovers from the windows,

so we didn't add the price because it's already back there price.

The connection.

The brackets for the brise. Yeah, we're gonna have wooden stripes.

Stripes?

Strips. Yes, strips of wood outside of the house to make sure the sun won't touch the shipping container itself.

And also the green wall.

We didn't build the brise yet, it's just the brackets. We're gonna build in the future and the green wall.

It's just a little bit of weld, it's not much.

So we used 11 pounds of MIG weld wiring (US$ 35.13).

2 bottles of MIG welding gas (75%Ar 25%CO2) US$ 59.46.

9 flap discs (US$ 15.47), 11 cutting discs (US$ 11.02).

And the total amount is US$ 121.08.

Flat disc and cutting disc we didn't finish all of that yet.

And the 5 kilos, 11 pounds of MIG welding we still have some left.

But we need to add the price.

But whenever we need to weld something we still have some material.

Miscellaneous.

Miscellaneous, it's just we always spend a lot. It's just like you know...

Brushes, rollers, gloves and glasses and everything that we used and just we run out of it or breaks.

So we have... Yeah, that's is 500 dollars (US$ 446.97). It's a lot.

But this is the way it is.

Working benches.

We're sitting on it.

Yeah, we built 4 working benches.

One for the circular saw, one for the miter saw and 2 other ones just to work on the ceiling.

So we can you know have something to step on.

And we have new shelves.

It's really hard sometimes to work in the shipping container that we have not much space when it's a mess.

So we built 3 shelves so we can store some of our tools and it makes a lot easier to work.

And we spent on that 90.66 dollars, but it's cheap.

The reason why it's so cheap is because we used a lot of materials leftover from other jobs.

For example the wood for the ceiling panels we used to build the bench,

one of them at least.

The rest we used leftover of plywood and you know all leftovers.

And for the part 2 we spent US$ 3,128.19.

So that's the total amount for the last 6 months and the months before we already spent US$ 9,000 (US$ 9,927 + extra deck US$ 313).

It's easier to talk about the grand total. So the great total of everything we built.

US$ 13,368.19.

That's the total amount for buying the shipping container,

transporting the shipping container to the land,

to make all the modifications, install windows doors,

build the framing, the walls, the ceiling panels, the canopy...

Everything.

Everything we have talked about.

Yeah, the whole thing.

I don't think it's that expensive.

I think is expensive, but I mean like...

Not including labor because labors...

Yeah, we're slaves.

Of course it could be cheaper. It could be a lot cheaper. But are they... it's all based on decisions we made

the material we are wanted to use, the wooden deck on the top that we didn't need to have.

We mean like... a house doesn't need a wooden deck on the top and we spent a lot of the wooden

because we have such a nice view that we wanted to have a wooden deck.

So it's basically...

It could be cheaper it could be more expensive.

I think it's all right.

And the tools.

Tools. We have a lot of tools.

It's just...

We have all kinds of tools you can imagine and it before the building we didn't have anything.

So it's hard to build having tools, without tools it's impossible. So we need to buy tools.

We spent until now, since the beginning of the building

US$ 5,493.85 on tools.

That means circle saw, miter saw...

Everything.

Welding machine... everything you can imagine.

So total amount with the tools...

US$ 18,862.04

So that's how much we spent on everything: tools and...

Not including labor as I said before because we are working just us.

Sometimes friends come around.

Yeah, we didn't spend not even one dollar in labor until now.

We didn't hire anyone to do anything.

I mean, the only thing we hire was a truck to... how you call like a... a crane to put the footings on place.

And the land.

And the land. The land is...

A lot of people on the first episode asked about how much did cost the land that we are building on,

because it's such a nice piece of land.

Doesn't make sense to talk about the land.

Because people that watch our video there are all over the world.

It's just like people are in the States, in Europe, in Russia, in Australia, in New Zealand, in Brazil...

in Jamaica.

Anywhere you can imagine.

Even inside our city the cost of the land changes.

Yeah, real state can change so much. This land could cost US$ 10,000 in a place

and it could cost 1 million dollar in a different place.

So what difference does it make if we talk about the price of the land?

And second is because this land is been in my family for 28 I think like 29 years.

Yeah, like... you can consider 30 years.

So 30 years ago not even the Brazilian currency was the same.

The Brazil currency was a different currency so we really just don't know.

I asked my daddy and he just doesn't really know how much would cost if we put the past price in the present.

So we don't need to talk about that.

Just if you want to know the price of a land you call a real estate agency in your town.

It's much easier and more precise.

So, another thing Is the variation of the dollar since we started building until now.

Yeah, the thing is we are in Brazil

so all the price we gave you they are in American dollars that we converted to American dollars.

But the price of the dollar changed so much in the past year.

When we started the house the dollar was 3.25 Reais.

Then it went all the way up to 4.1 Reais, and now it came back to 3.7.

So it's hard for us to convert every single piece of something that we spent money.

So it's easier to give you the total amount. If you are in Brazil we spent R$ 45.069,17 on the house itself,

on all the materials and we spent R$ 18.444,75 on the equipments.

So that's the total amount in Reais. That's what we actually spent, we didn't spend it in dollars.

So, that's what we spent on the house. R$ 63.513,92.

We still have a lot to do.

Yeah, the truth is...

You guys must be wandering...

So why are you talking about how much it costs to a shipping container house if the house is not ready?

We believe the house is almost ready to be considered a house.

All we need to do be considered a house is to install plumbing and electrical,

that's not much. It's not that expensive.

After that if you buy a house, that's how the house comes. The house doesn't come with furniture.

Sometimes they put some flooring.

Yeah, but I mean like if you buy an apartment it comes only an apartment.

You don't have furniture.

You don't have all stuff... everything you have inside you add yourself.

So that means that's basically almost the price of shipping container house.

I think we can consider it. But even though I'm saying that we have a lot of work to do.

So let's talk about what we still plan to do on the house.

So we still need to do the flooring.

We still need to build some walls between the kitchen and the bathroom

and the bathroom and the storage place.

How's the floor gonna look like?

Yeah, we're still studying about this.

Yeah, we wanted to do hardwood flooring, that looks really cool.

But we are deciding what kind of wood we want to use.

So... but it's gonna look good. It's gonna be a really cool project.

Wait for it.

So we still need to build all the bathroom, we still need to build the furniture.

All the appliances.

And 3 wooden decks.

Wooden deck we still have one wooden deck in front of the house on the entry door.

Another big one on the back of the house, on the corner of both sides of the house.

And we're gonna have a roof on this big deck.

And in Front of the shipping container doors, where it's gonna be the storage place,

we're gonna have another small wooden deck.

We still need to paint the shipping container.

Plumbing, we still need to the the plumbing.

A lot of digging for the plumbing.

Electrical part. We need to plant the tree but before that we need to paint the shipping container.

And I think that's it, right?

And the wooden brise.

Yeah, the wooden brise. I don't know if brise...

let us know in the comment section bellow is a wooden...

Do you guys understand what we mean by wooden brise?

Or only French people understand what we mean by that.

It's some shade for...

In Brazil we use this word that I guess it's French that it's like stripes of wood to create a shade.

Stripes, yeah.

Strips.

Yeah, strips of wood to create a shade, you know.

Like just like a lot of wood to make sure the sun won't touch the plate of the shipping container.

And in this way, it's not going to be hot inside. I mean, it's not already...

Like the insulation we did, the walls are not hot at all.

Yeah, but just...

Just the doors that are made from glass, so the sun heats the glass and...

And some of this we're gonna do after we move in.

Yeah, the idea is to build the furniture now, the plumbing and electrical and the bathroom

and then we move in and we can do the outside.

That's gonna be fun.

Excited for that. But it's gonna take a while still. A few months.

And we have new Patreons.

That's pretty cool. Yes it's the first time in a long time... I mean it's the first time ever

that we have Patreons that are good friends of ours.

They are supporting is actually since before we start the project.

When we arrived back in Brazil with the idea

I think they were one of the first persons we told about the idea of building the shipping container house

and starting a YouTube channel and the whole thing.

They are with us since the beginning.

So Lina thanks so much.

João, thanks so much.

You guys are awesome.

It's just like a huge help.

But we also have a Patreon that we've never met before, that's also really cool.

Yeah. Stevan, welcome on board.

Stevan, thanks so much.

It means a lot to us that you ere just on board of it with us.

And that's really cool.

If you guys don't know what we're talking about. We're gonna leave a link for Patreon.

That's basically a way of getting closer to us a way of supporting the channel and supporting our project.

And it's just...

Let's explain our project.

Oh, our project, yeah.

Yeah, maybe it's the first time you're here, right?

We are basically building a tiny shipping container house.

Without any prior experience.

We never done anything before we've never worked with any of these tools before.

And we decided to have a youtube channel that's just following what we're doing

and showing all the small details of process.

The process... the good and the bad process, like all our mistakes. We also show on the videos.

So we launch a new video every Monday morning on Brazil time. (*every Monday EST 9AM)

So if you want to watch...

I think it the best way is to... we're gonna leave a playlist.

(The playlist will be here in)

In this playlist has all the episodes so far from day 1 to 53.

We're on the episode 53 today.

Yeah, so one year and one week.

So you can go to this playlist and you can watch the whole thing.

It's really cool.

Sometimes we go back and watch it. This is cool to see how the house used to look,

because so different from what is looking now.

And that's it, right?

Yeah, I think so.

If you watched this or if you like what you're watching right now

it helps a lot just leave us a like. That helps a lot the channel.

And if you like it even more you can subscribe to the channel.

I think it's not a bad idea.

You know just subscribe, you hit the button, you click on the little bell and you come back every Monday

because we can entertain you.

I mean like we... don't expect someone professional that know what they're doing.

Not at all.

We are not professionals, we don't know what we're doing.

But for sure...

This is not a how to for sure.

For sure we're gonna show you all our mistakes and hopefully you won't make the same mistake.

Hope you learn from our mistakes and don't do the same.

We make mistakes so you don't need to make them.

So I guess we see you guys next Monday.

How Millions of Microscopic Fibers Are Ending Up in Our Bodies | The Swim - Duration: 6:17.

You may not be wearing an insulated wetsuit like Pacific swimmer Ben Lecomte,

but part of the outfit you're wearing right now is going to come in contact with the ocean

eventually.

The new invisible threat that they're discovering is that microfiber from all our clothes

ends up in the ocean, and now they're finding already that it's being ingested by animals.

Does it pass through or does it end up in their flesh, and then we end up eating it?

These are the questions Dimitri Deheyn and his team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography

are exploring, as they work with The Swim expedition to investigate the strange little strings

known as microfibers.

Unfortunately, the fish will probably have microfibers in its gut.

So do I, and so do you.

It is estimated that every single person would have about three to five million microfibers

going through their body on a given day.

Shed by synthetic materials like polyester, spandex, and nylon, microfibers are so abundant

that the filters once designed to catch them clogged so dramatically that companies removed

them from washing machines altogether.

Today, these particles flush freely into waterways with every spin cycle.

Microfibers are about five microns in size or smaller,

about 20 times smaller than the diameter of your hair.

Microfibers are so small that they are able to adsorb contaminants;

and those contaminants may be many times more concentrated than in the surrounding water.

Microfibers are tinier and carry more charge than microplastics, meaning they may be circulated

more quickly throughout global water and air currents, and soak up more toxins or microorganisms

along the way.

They are so small that they are like little needles that can poke a cell.

These microfibers have been found in places as remote as the North Pole.

There are now increasing reports of microfibers from Europe, from the United States of course

from South America

and of course from Asia.

They are found in bottled water.

They are found in water fountains and anything that links to water,

beer, wine, any kind of liquid might contain some

microfiber, to some extent.

Those microfibers can go inside the cells of the digestive tract, and from there,

can they pass on into other tissues?

Can it affect asthma?

Irritation from the respiratory passages?

Or anything else?

With the help of the Seeker crew, Dimitri and his team are collecting samples of ocean

water and fish flesh to see if they can unravel the mystery of microfibers' impact.

In terms of knowing what we breathe, what we eat, and what we drink,

it is important that we have a heat map of where microfibers are mainly concentrated.

We expect that every single big city would kind of have an area around it that would

be rich in microfibers, associated with where sewage

is discharged, but we don't really know what's truly offshore, far away from that.

We don't just try and catch fish to eat.

We also are collecting samples from their flesh, which we send back to be dissolved

and to see if there's microfiber in there.

To count the fibers in the samples from the boat, the team uses a blacklight,

because microfibers are fluorescent.

Many things in the ocean could fluoresce.

We have some sort of a program that can teach the computer to recognize

what microfibers are based on their shape, based on their length, and based on the combination

of spectral characteristics.

The technology analyzes the images using face recognition software.

So once microfibers can be mapped, Dimitri's team tests how these synthetic particulates

could actually impact our health, by using light production from species as a potential clue.

Organisms in the ocean that produce light, when they don't feel good, they produce less light.

That's a brittle star, tiny, tiny one.

Evolutionary speaking, these animals are very close to you and I.

Its light production is directly correlated to the health of the nervous system.

So if the light does not follow a certain pattern, we can assess neurotoxicity.

It's good to use them as a proxy to what we could have as an impact for our own nervous system.

My vision for the future is positive.

We will start to learn from nature.

And that's the concept of biomimicry: what can we learn from nature to be the best integrated in nature?

Companies are already focusing on biomimicry aspects of microfibers in clothing

so that whatever we will generate will be fully reintegrated into the environment.

We live in nature.

We are part of nature.

We are part of a closed system.

We have water flowing through us and food flowing through us, and whatever pollution

we put out there, that will be flowing through us as well.

Eventually.

How To Beat Information Overload - Duration: 9:12.

are you trying to build the business online but find yourself feeling

overwhelmed or stuck you really can't figure out what actions to take what

steps to take or maybe you've been doing it for a while but you're just not

seeing results and you kind of feel a loss well stay tuned because in this

video I'm gonna give you some helpful tips that I learned from my entrepreneur

journey to really help you get past that overwhelming feeling of I don't know

what to do and that's coming up right now

what's going on guys my name is Gabe Ekemezie and I'm your internet marketing

guy and welcome to my channel on my channel I talked everything

entrepreneurship and I helped you build a business and brand that you are proud

of so that you can live the life that you deserve so this is your very first

time on my channel feel free to subscribe and help the channel grow I

really appreciate the support and today I really want to talk about how to get

over this feeling of not really knowing what to do or feeling overwhelmed you

know where you want to go you see other people there and you just can't seem to

figure out the steps to get to that point so as an entrepreneur especially

if you're just getting started this is a very common thing to have so don't beat

yourself up about it it happens to the best of us it happened to me too when I

first got started I was a student back then and I realized you know I want to

start you know making some extra money on the side and I think doing something

online would be the best way to do that so I started researching started looking

up different things I saw other people doing it but as I started going deeper

and deeper into it I started getting overwhelmed and realizing wow there's a

lot of things to do that I don't even know what to do like where do I even

start I don't even know how to sell anything

like what do I do and that's one thing I really want to address first it's this

thing called information overload and I'm sure you heard of it if you've been

in any of the space for any amount of time but if you haven't information

overload is basically when you overload your mind with all the stuff that you

think you need to do in order to accomplish what you want to accomplish

and this is a really dangerous place to be and it's not your fault that you end

up even being in the situation actually it's the school systems that really do

this to us let me give you an example when we're in

school we learned that we have to study hard so that we can do good and test the

point is to learn as much information as we can perfect that knowledge so that on

the test we make less mistakes as mistakes equals better grades better

grades equals opportunities praise the whole nine yards and so when we take

that mentality and we bring it into real life when we bring it into building a

business or being entrepreneur that doesn't really work because you can't

really learn everything to be able to ace the test of entrepreneurship doesn't

really work like that in fact the way that you learn in entrepreneurship and

in business is to just do it is to just get started which is my first tip to you

guys you just got to get started on something because you're not gonna be

able to develop learn what you need to learn and

provides and change things that are not working if you don't have anything to

work with it's kind of like trying to renovate a house when you don't have a

house to begin with that makes no sense gotta build the house first and then you

realize you know I really like the way the kitchen looks and then you renovate

you remodel and you change things up same thing applies to starting an online

business you just got to start somewhere so don't let the overwhelm of looking at

the grand scale picture of things confuse you and really hold you back

from starting something and there's another great example you could be the

world's expert in knowing how to ride a bike I mean I'm talking you got the PhD

and riding a bike you've studied by ecology and the study of pedal ology or

whatever you know you get what I'm saying right you know all the theory

everything in terms of knowledge when it comes to riding a bike you can study

this for 30 40 50 years but until you get on an actual bike sit down and try

and write it you'll never actually know how to ride a bike in fact even with all

those years of experience and knowledge I promise you the first time you got on

a bike you're gonna fall it's just gonna happen you're gonna fall again and again

and again it's not until you actually learn the mechanics of riding a bike and

you actually get the the muscle memory of riding a bike and then that's when

the knowledge that you know as well as the implementation and the experience

that you get from riding the bike come together and then you can ride that bike

same thing applies for building a business you can sit and try and figure

out everything but that doesn't matter even if you did know everything it's not

going to really help you unless you pick something and implement first it's the

implementation along with the information that's gonna help you

actually get clarity on where you want to go my second tip I have for you is

pick one direction there are many different places you can go do I start a

YouTube channel do I create a blog do I build an email list do I create a

product or sell are the people's products do I do affiliate marketing and

network marketing or e-commerce and drop shipping there's a lot of different ways

that you can make money online and there's a lot of different routes that

you can go so for you in order to clear up this whole feeling of overwhelm and

feeling stressed out about not knowing what to do you just need to pick one

thing and start with that one thing so when I first got started I saw people

had blogs and websites and all this kind of stuff and it was kind

confusing for me so then I realized I just have to pick one thing and stick

with that one thing so I started making videos and I suck at it it was terrible

I just kept going at it and I started putting my videos on YouTube but then

that's when I started building traction and then from there I started learning

okay I need a website now oh I need to create a capture page or a landing page

to get people onto my email list so I got to start emailing now and and you

know things just kind of sprout from there but I picked one thing I picked

one direction and I focused on that one direction so pick one direction and

focus on that first yes you can learn multiple things and nobody said that you

can't eventually do multiple things because obviously and clearly okay it

can be done but people learn multiple things well by learning one thing at a

time well and especially as a beginner you want to start learning one thing at

a time same thing goes for what kind of business do you want to build do you

want to do a philia marketing do you want to do network marketing do you want

to build your own products pick one that you resonate with most something that

you feel that would be a good mix for you and the more you do it the more

you'll learn and the more you'll know what you need to learn in order to

master that thing and make it work for you my third and final tip is seek

mentors now I know you've probably heard of this before but when I first got

started this confused me a little bit because I was like oh work I got a

mentor I'm let's do it in you know I don't know any famous people who let

alone any successful entrepreneurs you know how am I supposed to just walk up

to some old guy and ask them can you mentor me that's kind of weird I

realized that what you can do is you can follow mentors okay and what I mean by

this is you can have digital mentors follow people that inspire you follow

people who've gone through what you're going through and who can give you some

guidance based off of their life experience and it doesn't matter whether

they're currently here or you know passed on for example Jim Rohn was one

of my first mentors and he was an amazing mentor to me his content is

still on YouTube he still has courses and seminars that I started to dive and

deep with and learn as much as I can he really helped change my perspective he

helped me with my personal development he owe me get the mindset of being an

entrepreneur down first and built that foundation for me the list goes on and

on and on of mentors that you can follow so find people that do what

do and follow them and emulate them in whatever space that you're doing whether

it's entrepreneurship whether it's a brand whether you're trying to be a

youtuber whatever it is follow those people and learn from them okay but

don't get stuck and just watching their lives this could also be a problem okay

watch what they do learn from them but then also turn back and implement and

take action in your own life focus on what you can be doing in your

circumstances in your situation to help you move the needle forward other great

mentors can be found in books in audiobooks which is my personal favorite

websites social media accounts whatever you can find even if you can go to

seminars that's great too so fine mentors out mentors help cut your

learning curve and have to help you save you a lot of heartache a lot of time and

really serve as some inspiration and motivation to get you to where you want

to go alright guys so I hope this video helps if you're feeling stuff if you're

feeling overwhelmed if you're not really sure what action steps to take remember

guys that it's okay to feel that way especially if you're just getting

started focus on that one thing and take action on that one thing consistently

when you do that the doors seem to open up and you really start to figure out

what the next step is for you if you liked this video give it a thumbs up
