WEBVTT
00:00.131 --> 00:14.791
[SPEAKER_00]: with sub DJ family DJ Reese back here with another video so sing some content on threads threads is very interesting a lot of DJs you know everybody has an opinion which is cool man and i'm not putting on a supporting shot to brace
00:15.392 --> 00:17.173
[SPEAKER_00]: G, that 707.
00:17.614 --> 00:20.296
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's saying, he wants to DJ full-time.
00:20.576 --> 00:21.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Start here.
00:21.096 --> 00:23.178
[SPEAKER_00]: He's given his five tips.
00:23.518 --> 00:28.782
[SPEAKER_00]: One review music $20 emissions to create custom playlists.
00:28.802 --> 00:29.742
[SPEAKER_00]: $50 for 100 songs.
00:30.083 --> 00:30.783
[SPEAKER_00]: Drop three.
00:30.843 --> 00:31.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Number three.
00:31.323 --> 00:34.406
[SPEAKER_00]: Drop weekly mixes on Patreon.
00:34.426 --> 00:38.889
[SPEAKER_00]: $7 for subs for throw your own party $20 for tickets.
00:39.269 --> 00:40.050
[SPEAKER_00]: Five sets.
00:40.470 --> 00:42.551
[SPEAKER_00]: you're not negotiable rates for gigs.
00:42.912 --> 00:49.957
[SPEAKER_00]: When your income slowly depends on gigs, you'll end up in the cheap DJ pool because you have zero negotiating power.
00:50.377 --> 00:52.458
[SPEAKER_00]: Do it to not being able to walk away.
00:53.939 --> 01:00.424
[SPEAKER_00]: If they lowball you, one to four will help you build your fan base, get cast for a go and end deep in your music pool.
01:00.784 --> 01:02.445
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so my take on this.
01:02.806 --> 01:04.627
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying this is like bad advice.
01:04.987 --> 01:06.748
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think this applies to,
01:09.005 --> 01:11.046
[SPEAKER_00]: This applies to certain type of DJs.
01:11.126 --> 01:23.490
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, myself, I DJ full time in DJing full time for five years now, I've been, I'm on the corporate side of DJing, so again, I can DJ anywhere from four times.
01:23.830 --> 01:27.211
[SPEAKER_00]: Shoot, last year, you know, this January, I DJ three times.
01:27.391 --> 01:33.573
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I'm not going to talk about the money I made because again, you know, talking about money reads a lot of envy.
01:39.043 --> 01:40.084
[SPEAKER_00]: the money was really good.
01:40.445 --> 01:44.350
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, I don't DJ any more than six times a month.
01:44.730 --> 01:49.516
[SPEAKER_00]: There's times I've had, but primarily anywhere from five to six times a month.
01:51.274 --> 02:00.079
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, I make well over five figures every month, DJ, so again, it depends on, it depends on what type of DJ you want to be.
02:00.439 --> 02:03.861
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, if you want to be in the club, you want to be, you want to chase that avenue.
02:03.881 --> 02:05.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you want to DJ for artists.
02:06.342 --> 02:08.784
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to chase that avenue, it's possible.
02:08.804 --> 02:10.385
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
02:10.445 --> 02:12.446
[SPEAKER_00]: The grind's going to have to be really superior.
02:12.506 --> 02:14.187
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that will kind of work.
02:15.010 --> 02:18.332
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, in DJs, you choose what type of DJ you want to be.
02:18.652 --> 02:20.032
[SPEAKER_00]: The club is not for everybody.
02:20.212 --> 02:21.893
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not a club.
02:21.973 --> 02:23.894
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying the club is not super your scene.
02:24.294 --> 02:26.335
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying corporate DJing, super your scene.
02:26.375 --> 02:30.457
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying private events, the superior pure is seeing the wet wedding DJs.
02:30.517 --> 02:32.078
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying they're super your scenes.
02:32.578 --> 02:37.660
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, there are certain scenes where the money is definitely different.
02:37.780 --> 02:39.021
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely different.
02:39.161 --> 02:40.261
[SPEAKER_00]: I know DJs who are getting 4500.
02:42.200 --> 02:47.404
[SPEAKER_00]: for a four hour reception that built their name up and they're really good at what they do.
02:47.844 --> 02:48.544
[SPEAKER_00]: So think about it.
02:48.985 --> 02:54.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Asking you to four weddings a month at 4,500 and just the reception only.
02:54.789 --> 02:58.331
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not even talking about ceremony and cocktail.
02:58.712 --> 03:04.876
[SPEAKER_00]: If you attack that on, probably looking at almost from six, sixy five hundred to maybe seven bands.
03:04.976 --> 03:06.977
[SPEAKER_00]: So imagine you're getting seven bands.
03:07.278 --> 03:07.878
[SPEAKER_00]: You do all that.
03:07.898 --> 03:10.760
[SPEAKER_00]: You're getting seven bands for weddings a month.
03:15.082 --> 03:25.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I know DJs who are making 250 in above right big name DJs even some making 500,000 They're not doing any clubs, right.
03:25.825 --> 03:30.306
[SPEAKER_00]: They're doing big private events corporate events They have a great reputation.
03:30.646 --> 03:37.227
[SPEAKER_00]: They also can host they can you know they can be in a they know how to become They know how to be in an event host.
03:37.307 --> 03:38.248
[SPEAKER_00]: They can MC.
03:38.668 --> 03:40.288
[SPEAKER_00]: They can galvanize a crowd.
03:40.428 --> 03:41.648
[SPEAKER_00]: They can energize a crowd.
03:42.068 --> 03:43.989
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not in the club where the balls are at
03:44.309 --> 03:56.237
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really not a lot, unless you're a big, big, big main DJ, but if you want to DJ four, five times a night, that's the type of crime and being night out, I'm not saying it's a terrible lifestyle.
03:56.577 --> 04:02.241
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying it's, you know, really, you're going to have the your, your work's going to be cut out for you.
04:02.662 --> 04:06.024
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, the review music, if you're just starting
04:10.122 --> 04:33.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Who would you send anybody your music to review if they don't have any credentials, I don't think so too great custom playlists and you know an artist if you're an artist would you just someone's charging to go to playlists, but they're they have no I'm not saying cloud or motion that that I don't like those words, but they they have no relevancy they're
04:34.003 --> 04:35.225
[SPEAKER_00]: No importance in what they're doing.
04:35.245 --> 04:38.148
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not someone who's a pain actually matters.
04:38.428 --> 04:40.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you paying to get on their playlist?
04:40.410 --> 04:42.552
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so now number three.
04:42.893 --> 04:46.697
[SPEAKER_00]: So I weekly mixes on patreon I actually think that is a good idea.
04:47.037 --> 04:53.784
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a great idea But also I think you can add YouTube as well YouTube you can't monetize but you can
04:54.425 --> 05:14.008
[SPEAKER_00]: you can drop not the full mix and bring them to the Patreon for the full mix so that so the YouTube you're also building community for throughout your own party I think that's an amazing idea again 20 hours of tickets starting off it's possible if you if you build a great community they love what you do
05:14.388 --> 05:15.869
[SPEAKER_00]: is that's definitely possible.
05:16.029 --> 05:26.797
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I set your non-negotiable rates, I think as a DJS for your supposed to be doing, regardless of what type of DJ you wanna be, shouldn't be just DJing for any type of money.
05:26.997 --> 05:29.879
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, God forbid something breaks of yours.
05:30.040 --> 05:31.140
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you gonna be able to replace it?
05:31.521 --> 05:32.822
[SPEAKER_00]: Your laptop breaks.
05:33.342 --> 05:35.643
[SPEAKER_00]: Pasto AppleCare warranty, you can't fix it.
05:36.023 --> 05:38.104
[SPEAKER_00]: You bought a $1800 laptop.
05:38.264 --> 05:41.585
[SPEAKER_00]: You're getting for $200 a night, you're $250 a night, $300 at the club.
05:42.125 --> 05:43.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that going to help you replace your laptop?
05:44.346 --> 05:45.006
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
05:45.346 --> 05:45.707
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
05:46.087 --> 05:51.609
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, when people are saying when your income solely depends on gigs, again, there are a lot of DJs.
05:52.269 --> 05:58.375
[SPEAKER_00]: who are making a living DJing gigs because they know the value of their work and they actually have work.
05:58.595 --> 06:01.057
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, their DJing is different from others.
06:01.698 --> 06:08.965
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, I just want to urge DJs, you know, yo, don't think of yourself as small.
06:09.345 --> 06:11.788
[SPEAKER_00]: This whole idea that you have to be in the club.
06:13.512 --> 06:15.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes we got to get that out of our head.
06:15.773 --> 06:18.995
[SPEAKER_00]: DJing can look different in many ways.
06:19.355 --> 06:20.836
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is like a sidebar.
06:20.856 --> 06:22.056
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not in a DJing.
06:22.256 --> 06:24.998
[SPEAKER_00]: I met someone who does corporate photo boothing.
06:25.358 --> 06:26.959
[SPEAKER_00]: He makes over 275,000 corporate photo booths.
06:27.159 --> 06:28.299
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that's 360, all right?
06:28.319 --> 06:29.040
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not talking 360.
06:34.522 --> 06:35.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Corporate photo booth.
06:35.923 --> 07:02.243
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so again, we have to start expanding our minds in thinking bigger Again imagine if you're an amazing event host and a DJ and you do corporate do you can command figures and imagine you have a DJ booth where you can put a table where you could put a We could put a TV on and put your companies logo and your logo, but you could play a slide show that can go on our money to that can increase your packets
07:02.563 --> 07:09.750
[SPEAKER_00]: think of it think of ways you're an event host a DJ and you're promoting the brand or their deals or their website.
07:10.090 --> 07:16.696
[SPEAKER_00]: You could charge four or 5,000 maybe you have a wireless speaker package.
07:16.756 --> 07:20.760
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying coming to you know you can buy a transmitter.
07:20.940 --> 07:26.245
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, hook a transmitter up to the speakers and make a wireless and an additional added to your package.
07:27.406 --> 07:27.726
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
07:28.774 --> 07:31.695
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, these companies are out here, they have money.
07:32.015 --> 07:42.740
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, the personal type of DJ, you want to be the clientele that you want to cater to, because if you want to cater to people who don't have money, people who let say, oh, I'll throw you a little something.
07:42.980 --> 07:46.202
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're going to have a hard time making a living doing it.
07:46.542 --> 07:46.882
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
07:47.222 --> 07:50.183
[SPEAKER_00]: So think of it as business at the end of the day.
07:50.544 --> 07:57.287
[SPEAKER_00]: If your selling expense of product or service that cost quality money, are you going to talk to people
07:58.778 --> 08:01.599
[SPEAKER_00]: and expect them to invest in your service or pay for your service?
08:01.959 --> 08:03.600
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it doesn't make sense, all right?
08:03.660 --> 08:13.144
[SPEAKER_00]: So DJs are saying, wait, if you want to get paid a certain rate, a certain amount, go to clientele who have that type of money, doesn't matter what they look like.
08:13.544 --> 08:15.445
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we gotta get that out of our heads, too.
08:15.765 --> 08:16.065
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
08:16.425 --> 08:18.667
[SPEAKER_00]: Just had it PSA to the DJs out there.
08:18.707 --> 08:23.952
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know your thoughts DJs man isn't impossible be a full-time DJ Talk to someone.
08:24.032 --> 08:29.636
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been known for five years straight and it has gotten better every year and I'm DJing less.
08:30.037 --> 08:31.138
[SPEAKER_00]: I love all right
08:31.558 --> 08:55.191
[SPEAKER_00]: and I'm doing more quality gigs, I'm doing more event hosting, more MCing, almost all my gigs, I'm as much as DJ, I'm hosting and I'm MCing, I'm talking, I have a radio background work the Maria for 10 years that goes hand-to-hand and also voiceovers with Delaware Lottery team, mobile, old Navy, so it goes hand-to-hand, you know, I'm trying to elevate more even to TV.
08:55.551 --> 08:58.073
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so we got to start thinking big, man.
08:58.513 --> 08:59.493
[SPEAKER_00]: think elevation.
08:59.893 --> 09:02.394
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, DJs is DJ Reese, so we create the vise.
09:02.434 --> 09:04.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know in the comments.
09:04.375 --> 09:05.175
[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't it impossible?
09:05.515 --> 09:10.796
[SPEAKER_00]: DJ full time or those four or five steps that I showed you the dude on threads.
09:11.336 --> 09:12.477
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you like those options?
09:12.517 --> 09:19.379
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying they're terrible, but you also don't have to go that route because now you're making it like, yo, this is a 40, 50 hour week.
09:19.399 --> 09:19.599
[SPEAKER_00]: I was
09:24.661 --> 09:28.916
[SPEAKER_00]: DJ Reese, I'm signing out, subscribe to YouTube channel, as we do.
09:28.936 --> 09:29.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I love y'all.

[SPEAKER_00]: Peace.
00:00.131 --> 00:14.791
[SPEAKER_00]: with sub DJ family DJ Reese back here with another video so sing some content on threads threads is very interesting a lot of DJs you know everybody has an opinion which is cool man and i'm not putting on a supporting shot to brace
00:15.392 --> 00:17.173
[SPEAKER_00]: G, that 707.
00:17.614 --> 00:20.296
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's saying, he wants to DJ full-time.
00:20.576 --> 00:21.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Start here.
00:21.096 --> 00:23.178
[SPEAKER_00]: He's given his five tips.
00:23.518 --> 00:28.782
[SPEAKER_00]: One review music $20 emissions to create custom playlists.
00:28.802 --> 00:29.742

01:00.784 --> 01:02.445
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so my take on this.
01:02.806 --> 01:04.627
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying this is like bad advice.
01:04.987 --> 01:06.748

[SPEAKER_00]: So think about it.
02:48.985 --> 02:54.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Asking you to four weddings a month at 4,500 and just the reception only.
02:54.789 --> 02:58.331
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not even talking about ceremony and cocktail.
02:58.712 --> 03:04.876
[SPEAKER_00]: If you attack that on, probably looking at almost from six, sixy five hundred to maybe seven bands.
03:04.976 --> 03:06.977
[SPEAKER_00]: So imagine you're getting seven bands.
03:07.278 --> 03:07.878
[SPEAKER_00]: You do all that.
03:07.898 --> 03:10.760
[SPEAKER_00]: You're getting seven bands for weddings a month.
03:15.082 --> 03:25.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I know DJs who are making 250 in above right big name DJs even some making 500,000 They're not doing any clubs, right.
03:25.825 --> 03:30.306
[SPEAKER_00]: They're doing big private events corporate events They have a great reputation.
03:30.646 --> 03:37.227
[SPEAKER_00]: They also can host they can you know they can be in a they know how to become They know how to be in an event host.
03:37.307 --> 03:38.248
[SPEAKER_00]: They can MC.
03:38.668 --> 03:40.288
[SPEAKER_00]: They can galvanize a crowd.
03:40.428 --> 03:41.648
[SPEAKER_00]: They can energize a crowd.
03:42.068 --> 03:43.989
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not in the club where the balls are at
03:44.309 --> 03:56.237
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really not a lot, unless you're a big, big, big main DJ, but if you want to DJ four, five times a night, that's the type of crime and being night out, I'm not saying it's a terrible lifestyle.
03:56.577 --> 04:02.241
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying it's, you know, really, you're going to have the your, your work's going to be cut out for you.
04:02.662 --> 04:06.024
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, the review music, if you're just starting
04:10.122 --> 04:33.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Who would you send anybody your music to review if they don't have any credentials, I don't think so too great custom playlists and you know an artist if you're an artist would you just someone's charging to go to playlists, but they're they have no I'm not saying cloud or motion that that I don't like those words, but they they have no relevancy they're
04:34.003 --> 04:35.225
[SPEAKER_00]: No importance in what they're doing.
04:35.245 --> 04:38.148
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not someone who's a pain actually matters.
04:38.428 --> 04:40.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you paying to get on their playlist?
04:40.410 --> 04:42.552
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so now number three.
04:42.893 --> 04:46.697
[SPEAKER_00]: So I weekly mixes on patreon I actually think that is a good idea.
04:47.037 --> 04:53.784
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a great idea But also I think you can add YouTube as well YouTube you can't monetize but you can
04:54.425 --> 05:14.008
[SPEAKER_00]: you can drop not the full mix and bring them to the Patreon for the full mix so that so the YouTube you're also building community for throughout your own party I think that's an amazing idea again 20 hours of tickets starting off it's possible if you if you build a great community they love what you do
05:14.388 --> 05:15.869
[SPEAKER_00]: is that's definitely possible.
05:16.029 --> 05:26.797
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I set your non-negotiable rates, I think as a DJS for your supposed to be doing, regardless of what type of DJ you wanna be, shouldn't be just DJing for any type of money.
05:26.997 --> 05:29.879
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, God forbid something breaks of yours.
05:30.040 --> 05:31.140
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you gonna be able to replace it?
05:31.521 --> 05:32.822
[SPEAKER_00]: Your laptop breaks.
05:33.342 --> 05:35.643
[SPEAKER_00]: Pasto AppleCare warranty, you can't fix it.
05:36.023 --> 05:38.104
[SPEAKER_00]: You bought a $1800 laptop.
05:38.264 --> 05:41.585
[SPEAKER_00]: You're getting for $200 a night, you're $250 a night, $300 at the club.
05:42.125 --> 05:43.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that going to help you replace your laptop?
05:44.346 --> 05:45.006
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
05:45.346 --> 05:45.707
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
05:46.087 --> 05:51.609
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, when people are saying when your income solely depends on gigs, again, there are a lot of DJs.
05:52.269 --> 05:58.375
[SPEAKER_00]: who are making a living DJing gigs because they know the value of their work and they actually have work.
05:58.595 --> 06:01.057
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, their DJing is different from others.
06:01.698 --> 06:08.965
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, I just want to urge DJs, you know, yo, don't think of yourself as small.
06:09.345 --> 06:11.788
[SPEAKER_00]: This whole idea that you have to be in the club.
06:13.512 --> 06:15.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes we got to get that out of our head.
06:15.773 --> 06:18.995
[SPEAKER_00]: DJing can look different in many ways.
06:19.355 --> 06:20.836
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is like a sidebar.
06:20.856 --> 06:22.056
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not in a DJing.
06:22.256 --> 06:24.998
[SPEAKER_00]: I met someone who does corporate photo boothing.
06:25.358 --> 06:26.959
[SPEAKER_00]: He makes over 275,000 corporate photo booths.
06:27.159 --> 06:28.299
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that's 360, all right?
06:28.319 --> 06:29.040
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not talking 360.
06:34.522 --> 06:35.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Corporate photo booth.
06:35.923 --> 07:02.243
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so again, we have to start expanding our minds in thinking bigger Again imagine if you're an amazing event host and a DJ and you do corporate do you can command figures and imagine you have a DJ booth where you can put a table where you could put a We could put a TV on and put your companies logo and your logo, but you could play a slide show that can go on our money to that can increase your packets
07:02.563 --> 07:09.750
[SPEAKER_00]: think of it think of ways you're an event host a DJ and you're promoting the brand or their deals or their website.
07:10.090 --> 07:16.696
[SPEAKER_00]: You could charge four or 5,000 maybe you have a wireless speaker package.
07:16.756 --> 07:20.760
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying coming to you know you can buy a transmitter.
07:20.940 --> 07:26.245
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, hook a transmitter up to the speakers and make a wireless and an additional added to your package.
07:27.406 --> 07:27.726
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
07:28.774 --> 07:31.695
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, these companies are out here, they have money.
07:32.015 --> 07:42.740
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, the personal type of DJ, you want to be the clientele that you want to cater to, because if you want to cater to people who don't have money, people who let say, oh, I'll throw you a little something.
07:42.980 --> 07:46.202
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're going to have a hard time making a living doing it.
07:46.542 --> 07:46.882
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
07:47.222 --> 07:50.183
[SPEAKER_00]: So think of it as business at the end of the day.
07:50.544 --> 07:57.287
[SPEAKER_00]: If your selling expense of product or service that cost quality money, are you going to talk to people
07:58.778 --> 08:01.599
[SPEAKER_00]: and expect them to invest in your service or pay for your service?
08:01.959 --> 08:03.600
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it doesn't make sense, all right?
08:03.660 --> 08:13.144
[SPEAKER_00]: So DJs are saying, wait, if you want to get paid a certain rate, a certain amount, go to clientele who have that type of money, doesn't matter what they look like.
08:13.544 --> 08:15.445
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we gotta get that out of our heads, too.
08:15.765 --> 08:16.065
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
08:16.425 --> 08:18.667
[SPEAKER_00]: Just had it PSA to the DJs out there.
08:18.707 --> 08:23.952
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know your thoughts DJs man isn't impossible be a full-time DJ Talk to someone.
08:24.032 --> 08:29.636
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been known for five years straight and it has gotten better every year and I'm DJing less.
08:30.037 --> 08:31.138
[SPEAKER_00]: I love all right
08:31.558 --> 08:55.191
[SPEAKER_00]: and I'm doing more quality gigs, I'm doing more event hosting, more MCing, almost all my gigs, I'm as much as DJ, I'm hosting and I'm MCing, I'm talking, I have a radio background work the Maria for 10 years that goes hand-to-hand and also voiceovers with Delaware Lottery team, mobile, old Navy, so it goes hand-to-hand, you know, I'm trying to elevate more even to TV.
08:55.551 --> 08:58.073
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so we got to start thinking big, man.
08:58.513 --> 08:59.493
[SPEAKER_00]: think elevation.
08:59.893 --> 09:02.394
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, DJs is DJ Reese, so we create the vise.
09:02.434 --> 09:04.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know in the comments.
09:04.375 --> 09:05.175
[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't it impossible?
09:05.515 --> 09:10.796
[SPEAKER_00]: DJ full time or those four or five steps that I showed you the dude on threads.
09:11.336 --> 09:12.477
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you like those options?
09:12.517 --> 09:19.379
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying they're terrible, but you also don't have to go that route because now you're making it like, yo, this is a 40, 50 hour week.
09:19.399 --> 09:19.599
[SPEAKER_00]: I was
09:24.661 --> 09:28.916
[SPEAKER_00]: DJ Reese, I'm signing out, subscribe to YouTube channel, as we do.
09:28.936 --> 09:29.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I love y'all.
09:30.261 --> 09:30.522
[SPEAKER_00]: Peace.
