Hey there, it's Matt Williams. I am the Drone Mentor & welcome to today's episode today, not our usual weekly podcast episode that will still be coming every Wednesday evening. British Summertime. If you're listening to this. But today what I'm doing is a little bit of Monday motivation. It's Monday here as I'm recording this live and lots of people getting in touch and asking for a shorter form, a little bit of Monday motivation, a little thing to keep us going and something to kind of hold you accountable to you throughout the week as we learn, build and grow in this incredible industry.
00:00:32:01 - 00:00:54:18

So today, what I'm going to do is actually loop back to something that happened last week and kind of before i start that, you know, as I said, this time last week it is a monday. It's another week, another seven opportunities for us to make a change, to reach out to someone, make a difference for ourselves and our friends and our families by kind of taking action.
00:00:54:20 - 00:01:24:09
Unknown
Okay. And that's what I want everyone to do and what I want to loop back to is I put out last weekend. Again, if you listen to this live on social media, a little quote. And I was like, right, start today, stop thinking, take action, make the call, send the email, post the video. Okay. And I put that out and said, what are you going to do in this next week and these next seven amazing days that we've been sent and that we've been granted and given and blessed with to make a change?
00:01:24:21 - 00:01:46:07

And actually, quite a few people reached out to me. Okay. And a lot of people emailed me. A lot of people got in touch on LinkedIn. A lot of people got in touch on our our private Facebook group. And I'll drop a link to that onto the Drone Mentor Home page. So if you haven't found that already, go over to the Drone Mentor Home Page and join us there because we do this kind of stuff all the time, right?
00:01:46:08 - 00:02:00:18
Unknown
I'm always there to champion you and I'm here to serve you and help you. And what ended up happening was that a couple of people got in touch, said, I'm going to get this, I'm going to get my showreel done. Okay, I'm finally going to crack it. I'm going to get my show reel done. I'm going to commit to doing it.
00:02:00:18 - 00:02:14:15
Unknown
I was like, Right, cool. That's awesome. Send me a link to it by the end of the week. I'll take a look, I'll share it around and I'll let you know what I think. Then a few of the people like, right? I'm going to send an email. And you know what some people did? They actually did it.
00:02:15:00 - 00:02:38:01
Unknown
And I'm going to just give a couple of examples and these are going to be anonymous. And I might get these people on at some point. Let me know if you'd like me to do that. And if you think I'm talking about you, then get in touch. And if you'd like to. Come on, come on. You know, let's talk about it on next week's Monday Motivation, because those people who did that, for example, one chap who sent an email out to a client that he's been thinking about getting in touch with for ages and he's like, You know what?
00:02:38:02 - 00:03:03:11
Unknown
I'm just going to do it. I'm going to do what Matt says. I'm going to reach. I'm going to send that email. And he sent the email. And you know what happened? He ended up getting more than £6,000 worth of business from one client, from sending one email that he wouldn't have sent had he not taken that post with the intent that it was kind of, you know, meant for and done it and just stopped thinking about it and taken action.
00:03:03:24 - 00:03:24:07
Unknown
More than £6,000. How many people have you got inside your, you know, your email address book or inside your social networks or on your LinkedIn profile? Who if you Just reach out to them and said, hey, this is me. I know he's not spoken for a while. We've maybe not spoken before. It'd be great to have a conversation along the lines of, you know, X, Y or Z and Can I serve you?
00:03:24:07 - 00:03:42:20
Unknown
Can I help you? Is there something I can do for you to help help you out? There's a lot of people at the moment, in particular as I record this episode, that are really struggling financially. But there's also a lot of people who I genuinely think if like that chap, you take action and stop thinking about doing something.
00:03:42:20 - 00:04:01:02
Unknown
You just put yourself out there, make the call, send email, post the video. You really could make a difference. By the end of this week, there was someone else who was one of the people who said, I'm going to send I'm going to finish my showreel and I'm going to send you a copy of my showreel. And you know what?
00:04:01:02 - 00:04:24:03
Unknown
On Friday I got a link to this person's showreel, and it was incredible. They'd been out that week, grafted hard shot it, edited it, sent it out, and there were already people liking and sharing that showreel. Okay. And it's up to you to make the change. No one's going to do it for you, but we've all got it within us this week, this amazing set of seven days that we've been sent to do something that's going to make a difference.
00:04:24:03 - 00:04:45:09
Unknown
Stop thinking about it. Take action, guys. Okay. And that really is what it comes down to. You know, that is where we're at and what we're thinking. So what I want you to do and this is a little action point, right, is drop me an email [email protected] or even better go and join our private Facebook group.
00:04:45:09 - 00:05:02:04
Unknown
Like I say, I will put a link to that on the drone mentor home page on the Contact US page to join that page. Please go and join that page. Get involved in the conversation and let me know in there what it is that you want us as a community to hold you accountable to. What are you going to do?
00:05:02:04 - 00:05:22:04
Unknown
What action are you going to take in this next week that's going to move you towards your goal? Okay. And that's what it's all about. You know, set yourself a goal of achieving X and then work out what the path is, what the journey is to getting to that goal. And those are the actions, you know, only do an action if it's going to move towards that goal.
00:05:22:08 - 00:05:44:22
Unknown
Don't go and sit on Netflix for two and a half hours tonight watching the latest episode of Stranger Things. If you haven't watched it already. Okay. Two and a half hours long, can you believe that? Amazing. I'm really looking forward to watching it myself. But, you know, once you've earned that, then do it. But earn it by taking an action that moves you along the journey towards achieving your goal.
00:05:44:22 - 00:06:05:14
Unknown
And take that action today if you can. But more importantly, hold have someone to hold yourself accountable. Come on, lean on me. Lean on our community inside that Facebook group for now and let's see what we can do by the end of the week. And I will be your champion or I will share it from the rooftops about the successes that people are having within our community, because you deserve it!
00:06:05:18 - 00:06:21:18

And we all need to look after each other and everyone needs to help each other. I think that's the the best way that we can get ourselves through the tough times that we've had over the last couple of years. That's certainly what got me through the pandemic with all of the, you know, the interaction and the feedback and the kind messages.
00:06:21:18 - 00:06:36:12
Unknown
Whilst I was really ill, not from the pandemic, form other things over the last couple of years from you guys in the community, so thank you for getting me through. And the least I can do now is to serve you and help you achieve the same, help you achieve your goals and your ambitions. So there we go.
00:06:36:15 - 00:06:56:21
