Im dropping GEMS you here me?!
People have been asking a lot of questions about the five-year plan video I released a couple days ago. Before I started Beleaf In Fatherhood these are the six questions that lead me to starting this YouTube channel. Featuring my wife @mrsmelanin here are the questions you need to ask yourself to start your plan:
1. Where do you want to be?
2. What problem do you want to solve?
3. Who is this problem affecting?
4. Study where your audience is
5. What value do you want to add?
6. Create a schedule & Repeat

is there anything you want to add to
that that conversation that last video i
did i did a video talking about how to
start figure out even how to start a
plan was there any objections or
anything you wanted to add to that i
definitely don’t have any objections do
you want me to speak from the
receiving end of it or
i mean just anything you have to add or
if you don’t have anything it’s okay
i don’t put you on the spot
yeah
no i don’t have anything to add i think
that um
i do think it is important to have an
idea of where you want to go i feel like
we’ve kind of swapped
places in life
where it’s like she needs a five-year
plan
i don’t know if i need well yeah i do i
i know the things that i want to do but
sometimes it’s just hard to prioritize
where you want to go and what what now
looks like on your way you know
and so i feel like even i mean for
everyone i think mentorship is very
important and
um
i’ve seen the difference that it’s made
in glenn’s
life and his journey and so
yeah i guess i would just say ditto and
reiterate everything
you’ve already
said okay
great uh so i’m gonna actually talk
about the plan that we have um
i know you came in here to spend a
little time with me
but i’m gonna make this video real quick
no you can stay
you stay i’m cool with you
okay so
uh talking about our plan all right you
have to ask yourself a set of questions
that are gonna get you to the
destination okay the first question is
where do you want to be all right you
have to think about where you want to be
in the future right so
what kind of life do you want to live
what what kind of vacations you want to
take what kind of problems do you want
to have right i remember talking to
somebody a long time ago my wife was
like i want a nanny i want this and this
and i’m like man she’s trying to get it
man he’s trying to get a housekeeper i
was like we can’t afford that you know
what i’m saying and then mahoney was
like look man if you get a nanny then
maybe your wife’s problems change and
instead of figuring out who’s gonna
watch the kids you’re thinking about
what vacations are you gonna take and
that’s really the question like i really
my problems have changed now right so we
have someone to watch the kids and stuff
like that and so we have different
problems um so figure out where you want
to be the second question is what
problem do you want to solve okay what
issue in the world do you feel like you
want to take advantage of and solve that
problem one thing that i was thinking
about was fatherlessness right like i
didn’t never want to be a parent because
i thought
kids were like a nuisance you know what
i’m saying but when i realized like man
this has actually made me a better
person i wanted to tell people all about
that so i wanted to solve the problem of
fatherlessness uh and so i figured that
i can help with that situation so i
figured out okay this is the problem i
want to solve uh who is the problem
affecting it’s affecting everybody right
fatherlessness is affecting everybody
and so what you end up doing is you find
the people that you want to help
and you end up creating the people that
will also be a part of the same mission
and journey that you’re on okay so you
figure out where you want to be you
figure out what problem you want to
solve you figure out who this problem is
affecting and then you find out where
their attention is okay so wherever
these people are
they are being affected by this problem
but what are they paying attention to
where do they congregate
what things are they focused on and then
you have to go there and study wherever
they are okay whether it’s the internet
whether it’s a church whether it’s a a a
area uh environment location um it’s a
block a street a city wherever these
people are you gotta find them and study
them okay um so you found you know where
you want to be you know what problem you
want to solve you know who is being
affected by it you know where their
attention is you go there and study and
then you figure out how you want to show
up your authentic way
when you get there how do you want to
show up what are you going to do when
you get there are you going to shoot
video are you going to write are you
going to
do photography are you going to go there
just be a helping hand are you going to
sweep are you going to mop like what are
you gonna do when you get there and then
you also have to think about what value
you want to add when you get there okay
so is it just authenticity is it music
is it education inspiration
art comedy is it just a sense of
community figure out how you’re going to
add value to that community right and
then you create a schedule and you do it
over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over
again and that’s it
that’s it that’s how you figure out your
plan any more questions please let me
know in the comment section below belief
