00:00:00 so if you’ve ever wanted to have a chat with me and a cup of coffee this video is where you need to be it is the most unscripted unedited video and probably one of the most that I’ve ever made so I wanted to talk to you about some things that I feel like I’ve never told you or that maybe you don’t know about me either I haven’t shared them or I’ve wanted to share them and I’ve just been scared to and so this video is kind of like we need to talk and there’s no better time to do it than now but I had
00:00:35 some other videos planned to come out and I kind of just put the brakes on it because I had had them in editing and I was watching them and I was like man you look so exhausted and I know that I feel so tired and I wanted to tell you what probably has been causing it and get I guess your advice on that so don’t forget to comment ment below at some point in this video and also I’m going to share some things with you so you can head over to rv.com to find those um and if we haven’t officially met and you’re like who is this chick
00:01:10 what what is she rambling about I’m blogging Brandy the creator of this Channel and ourv my university for rvers and Community for RV lovers like yourself so again um if that resonates with you please please please head over to rvs.com but also like this video And subscribe to this channel and tap that little bell icon so you’re notified each and every time I publish a new video because I do make a lot of very polished and pretty videos where I don’t look like a hot mess that I just woke up and
00:01:43 again I don’t know if I told you this because this is probably the 50th time I tried to start this video but I started working on this video at 2:23 a.m. and I’m not really an early person but for some reason I wake up early in the morning um lately and so I don’t even know where to start other than if you think I’m rambling and I’m all over the place that’s okay because I made all of these notes about the things that I want to say so it won’t be as all over the place but um short long story short if you don’t know
00:02:18 my story I will drop a link to that in the description below this video along with all the other things that I mention in this video that you can check out so please please please watch until the end of this video because there’s lot of things that I want to tell you and so this video is really for my true true Tres not necessarily not for the newbies but this is for people that follow me and maybe you’ve had a chat with me or you’ve connected with me in some way or you follow me in a different way or you
00:02:48 followed me for a really long time should I say so um the first thing that I want to mention is I didn’t start this channel until probably 2 years after after I started rving so I felt really behind should I say or like I couldn’t talk about my RV life and there’s so many reasons that have led to that and even recently in the last couple years I feel so behind on my content and on the things that have happened that I have not shared with you or not shared on this channel because I do have multiple YouTube channels and
00:03:23 before I started arity I had other YouTube channels and businesses and I was an entrepreneur in digital Nomad I was not just purely out to start talking about my RV life it was something that happened and I started to share about my RV life and it turned into a business should I say so my passion turned into a profit but it took different turns and so I kind of wanted to tell you a little bit about why I feel almost like my I have this solo female RV living double life should I say triple life maybe or quadruple life and so first
00:04:04 thing is when I mentioned that I couldn’t start my YouTube channel for the first two years or so um and if you see these random animals running through if you don’t know I have five dogs in one cat and they are usually somewhere in the videos so I’m sorry about that that’s Krypto running around he’s up for adoption actually if you want to adopt him or petunia you can head over to birdies doogh house.com again I’ll drop links to that below this video but I do have a little dog rescue that you may
00:04:36 not know about but um I made some Vlogs about the rescue of him it wasn’t on this channel because it wasn’t necessarily all RV related again which is kind of why I feel this weird pull in my life so about two not two years ago but in when I said it took me about two years before I started sharing my review Life part of that was because one when I started my review life my review life ended within the first four months of beginning so I had six RVs and I had a travel trailer a van a van a motor home travel trailer van and
00:05:12 right now we currently have two RVs and so if I say we and you don’t know I have a boyfriend of nine years going on 10 and so yeah like I said if you don’t know my story I’ll drop a link to it below this video um you can watch that and check that out learn more about me and why RV and all of those fun things and so there’s a lot that’s transpired I also shared an updated version of my story on my blogging Brandy YouTube channel and again I feel all over the place and telling you about this because
00:05:47 there is more to me than just my RV life that exist and another thing about me that you might not know for some weird reason I’ve been blessed with this rhyming ability so I whenever I write or talk I seem to rhyme things I have no idea where that came from or why I do that but God’s blessing in my life thank you Jesus okay so NDA is the first thing that I wanted to tell you about or the first thing I have on my notes here so when I went through my very first travel trailer I lost it within the first four
00:06:21 months I got into a horrible accident and it was total along with my toe car and then I had to spend about a year doing insurance claims and going to doctor’s visits and it was just a really bad situation so my rview life was essentially like put on hold I moved in with my boyfriend and well I was selling my condo at the time when this happened so then I moved in with my boyfriend and then I kind of um felt the the need to RV or have my space still and I think he was probably feeling the same way and so
00:06:57 I bought a van about a year later but then it ended up being a lemon so I ended up getting another one but during that transition in between the two Vans it was not good um I was me personally I was not forced to sign an NDA so actually the NDA was slid to me and I slid it right back and said I’m not signing that but someone else in my party agreed to sign this document so I was not allowed to talk about the events of my V life in my van for literally a year to two years that it was happening so I was paying for this thing and all
00:07:37 these things were happening behind the scenes and all these other rvers share their stories and all the stuff that they’re doing I was not allowed to do that because what was happening was really really bad I mean I was essentially paying for this huge paper weight and it was making me no money I was not able to use it in and it was not usable in all the capacities something was always broken on it and I was having to drop it off and it was just not a good situation so then I had this trailer that we were Towing my smart car
00:08:09 with and behind the van and someone stole the trailer and so I felt like it was like God telling me to sell that and then I got the motor home and then we ended up with these two RVs and so I’ll kind of tell you a little bit more of about how that came to be um but during the transition in the van I was told that I really couldn’t say anything so yeah I watch all these other rvers I watch these channels and several people maybe you have even said hey Brandy I feel like you should be so much bigger
00:08:42 than you are or you make these really good videos and part of the reason that probably some my my channel has not blown up the way that I would have thought that it could or would one is consistency my RV life and everything that’s gone on in it has been in shambles and why I’m making you this video cuz I feel like we need to talk about these things but the NDA almost forced me into silence okay so I couldn’t talk about that then sold the motor home I up with a bunch of things with the trailer and or got the motor
00:09:12 home then went from this you know essentially a pandemic hit and I was traveling in my RV and then end up stopped in the RV so the first half of my RV life was like okay you had this accident and you know you don’t really want to talk about things when you’re going through like an insurance claim so I was like okay can’t talk about the trailer or I didn’t I wasn’t really planning to talk about Marv life back then or I didn’t know that I wanted to talk about Marv life when I started although if you haven’t seen my
00:09:40 story the whole reason that I even started my YouTube channel was because I was in my RV on an island um and I was trying to make my blog because I go by blogging Brandy and I was freaking out because my website developer was like not getting this blog done he was telling me about oh um I’ve got this baby that I’m worried about right now his sister’s baby or something like that and I was just like oh my God if you know my story I had just lost my child and so he was telling me about him wanting to start his RV life and or his
00:10:13 this child and I’m over here just trying to start my life and all these things are happening and no one can know about it and I’m telling him I’m freaking out and I did not expect to cry to tell you this I’m so sorry but I’m sitting here freaking out telling him like I don’t really care about you’re thinking like what about mine like me you don’t even know like you’re telling me about this kid I’m thinking about mine but I’m in my RV and all I want to do is make this blog and it was essentially
00:10:41 to heal but when I was going through all this and I was just talking to him he was like oh my God you have you ever thought about being on YouTube I’ve got to drop my eyes he was like have you ever thought about being on YouTube and I was just like no not really but then the more I thought about I was I was like yeah I guess i’ would be really good on YouTube so one thing led to another I started making these YouTube videos and I found this person and they were talking about how to run a business or use YouTube for
00:11:11 your business and so I started making random videos I was making videos about like Las Vegas and traveling and videos about um making websites and I was making blogs and I was making like RV videos and so I was making these RV videos and actually my boyfriend said something like really mean about when I was making the video I was like just doing it with my phone it was kind of like a vlog but he had made these really professional videos and this is the moral of the story when people say things to you you have no idea how it
00:11:41 impacts the entire course of their life and business so I was I felt like I was just headed in this really good direction and then someone said something to me and it startled my growth so one was the NDA from that had not happened yet I guess at the time but the first thing that happened was my my boyfriend had said the thing that he said to me about this RV thing and me making this video and he was so used to these professional videos and I was just like okay um he he was just like this is not how you do it I think I was getting
00:12:12 to hold the camera or something like that and he was just getting frustrated and so he’s like this is not how you do it you got to have a setup and a script and blah blah blah and so I’m just trying to make Vlogs I was not scripting them kind of like this video it’s not scripted but um it startled me it made me delete all the videos that I had made and I didn’t share them and so it was just a a disaster is what it turned into looking back even though I thought I was doing something good it would have been
00:12:41 better for me to leave those RV videos up there and not delete them because what they would have became now is so much more crazy and also I wouldn’t have had this split life or when I did split it it would have been more seamless so I started out as blo g i n brandy blogin brandy but I go by blo ging Brandy so blogging with a G and I started that about a year ago I was rebranding so essentially a lot of my social media I’m like trying to drag the followers over but that’s my personal channel so you
00:13:16 can also follow me at rvers for all my RV content not that I don’t share some of that on my blog and Brandy stuff but blogging Brandy is more of where I can share like oh um pretty much anything okay anything about City Life and not just van life and trailer life but behind the scenes stuff um like Bird’s birthday and I’ve went to five countries in five weeks and things like that and so not just ourv life so I had the NDA I had some things that my boyfriend said to me and then um I also had was going through so I’m arving
00:13:55 through all of this that was the travel trailer then I got the Vans which which was the NDA and then I got my motor home and was going through obviously things with the motor home but um when I I wish that I could post like all these things as they were happening I look at all these other rvers that are posting on social media and saying like look at me look at what happened to me but I was just scared that they were not going to fix my RV or not going to do the things that they were promising me if I didn’t
00:14:23 keep quiet about this situation or that they could come and potentially sue me or damage my brand and business that I had if I didn’t keep quiet about this situation so hey who’s chewing over there is someone chewing my life again five dogs and one cat if you don’t know about that birdies dogh house.com find out all about that um so um the other thing that happened to me when a pandemic hit is things started to go stationary I told this videoos a little bit all over the the place but this is literally like my life but my
00:15:02 things started to go stationary so I went from traveling to parking my RV and my I’ve been in the same place in my travel trailer for The for almost 5 years and then we have the van so sold my motor home was thinking that was going to be done and then ended up with two more RVs and that was not part of the plan so if you haven’t seen the updated version of my story I shared that on my blog and Brandy Channel again why my life feels like in two separate places because it wasn’t all about RV life it was kind of like hey why I’m not
00:15:38 necessarily always rving all the time and I shared the first version here a couple years ago and then I shared an updated version um the beginning of this year on this channel or on my other channel so I’ll put links to both versions of my story so you can check those out below this video but I landed in one place for a while and so it was going from a pandm from traveling all the time in my motor home to parking the motor home and not moving and so I wanted to sell it but during that time I started Living stationary and I felt
00:16:12 like okay well I’m not traveling I can’t talk about my RV life and then I started to talk about my stationary RV life and living in the RV park or I referred to as a trailer park and then I started getting these like threats should I say on and I had to turn the heat off in here to be able to record this for you because the blower blows and then you can’t hear me so it’s really cold in here and that might be why the dogs are running around but I talked about my RV life or I wanted to share about my RV
00:16:44 life and I would get these ugly text messages and threats and I have so many of them about the first time I called this um my my stationary RV life I called it a trailer part because that’s what people refer to it as and also what it would what I would probably term it as but you have RV parks trailer parks mobile home park sometimes they’re like all one in the same so I referred to as a trailer park and I got this this ugly string of text messages about you know if I don’t like it I can just leave and
00:17:17 pretty much threatened to kick me out I’ve been threatened to get kicked out over so many things and I don’t really share those because one I’m like scared to share it but then also it’s like if I were to share that my channel would probably blow up and I’d go super viral and so I also am not like trying to damage my brand or like take people down but it does make me feel silenced it makes me feel like I can’t be consistent with my content it makes me feel like I can’t be the person that I want to
00:17:45 be and it drives me into this like secrecy okay and it really bothers me because this these people come at me but they don’t understand that you’re damaging me you’re damaging my brand no one’s trying to hurt anybody I’m just trying to tell the truth I’m just trying to tell my my story of how I see it and I want other people to feel that I don’t want to polish things and make it look pretty all the time when it’s not because if I would have known the things I know right now I wouldn’t be sitting
00:18:14 where I’m at okay and half the things wouldn’t have happen to me and I wouldn’t have lost so much money so you get to keep making money but you’re telling me to be quiet and I’m not supposed to be making any kind of money so again I would get these threats on my phone or calls or whatever and I have so many of them but it would be like we complained about the electricity and we got threatened to get kicked out and then we would have these horrible neighbors that would move I had a convicted felon that lived across from
00:18:41 me they had just gotten let out and I’m not trying to judge okay I’m like if you’re a convicted felon and you watch me mad love okay I’m so glad that you’re able to like be out and watch me and hopefully you want to get into ourv life but this person was doing illegal things things around me and in front of me and it was they were up all night long Thump Thump thumping and just it was not a good situation and even come to find out like all the weird things this this person was living here under someone
00:19:14 else’s name and it was just like okay this is weird and I don’t know there’s just so many things and then I talked about like that people um would get free checks or that I felt guilty for leaving the RV park or trailer park because I was hoping that you know when I saw my motor home that was going to be the thing that happened and I felt guilty because there were some people that live in the RV park that are not living there by a want they’re living there out of a need okay because I get it people live
00:19:41 in their RV park for different reasons or they RV for different reasons and stationary RV for different reasons so I referred to some of those things and then again we complained about the electricity got threatened to get kicked out complained about the neighbor we were accused of being like racist and hypoc and threaten to get kicked out and then um we had some other crazy like 50 party ragers outside for over 12 hours straight and we complained about the fact that these people were like throwing rocks and this person was
00:20:18 screaming out loud how they were so bleeping drunk so bleeping drunk and there was kids outside and it was just so wild watch this go down and I actually have video of my landlord like standing there watching it or at least should have been watching it and you can just see them in the background they’re oblivious to to what’s going on and when we complain or say anything then we’re we’re told that we’re the bad people and that we should just deal with it and that there’s nothing wrong with having
00:20:52 music on and that it’s not too loud but also the one thing I want to bring up is like um the the people that threaten me are not people that live in the RV park like they own it but they don’t live there so they don’t actually have to be subject to the same things as anyone else and then normal RV parks are the ones that I’ve been in you always have like someone that’s there and at least usually the the people that own it live there but if they don’t there would be like someone there to call or that they
00:21:24 always have like security or someone watching or someone doing something and so there’s just so many things that go on behind the scenes if you’ve ever seen that show below deck they need to have like below RV park or trailer park behind the scenes or TB talk or something like that because there is so much craziness that goes on at the rvu parks and trailer parks that you don’t get to see that I don’t share with you that I was like oh my God if I shared this it would get get wild and so then I said something about like the cops were
00:21:56 coming to the RV Park in one of my videos and then I was threatened about like I can’t believe you say those things about me or this place or whatever and it’s like uh and it’s just I felt silence so if I would talk or make a video I felt like I’m just sitting here people want to know and it’s not like I’m saying hey look at this place and don’t go there it was more of hey this is my experience or examples of things that you want to look out for or it wasn’t like I shared these all the time I was just sharing Vlogs
00:22:27 about my life that were going on and I usually didn’t even show videos of anything it was just like me here in in my RV talking so again I’m very careful about what I share online but sometimes I just think man if I really did share what happened and tagged the people and the locations and and I don’t even know if it’s legal like half the things that have been said or done to me but I you know I’ve thought about that too it’s like what if you contact somebody and say like hey is this even like legal because it has
00:23:00 impacted my life and my business and stunted my growth and caused me to not be consistent and forced me into like this secrecy and not sharing things because I feel like I’m not allowed to or if I do that I’m going to get threatened and it’s going to impact my business in some way so it’s like these people threaten me into secrecy from NDA and like this landlord tenant thing and again why I want my own land my own RV park a place that I can potentially bring other people to I need to be the landlord you know what I’m saying I need
00:23:36 to be making the rules and regulations that’s how this worldle works because if you know I’m a quitter I don’t have bosses like not really want to follow rules and regulations and I really actually don’t even complain unless something impacts me or affects me okay so my biggest thing is like noise and chaos and if if it’s bothering me then yeah I don’t want to deal with it and I don’t know why I have to but again I get some people RV out of necessity some people RV out of their want and their need and then you know there’s those
00:24:10 people that are kind of in between and so the other reason that I feel like I’m not as big as I could be or don’t share things in real time is for protection protection of me protection of the places that I’m at the where I’m like if I’m living stationary obviously I don’t want to post like hey here’s where I live or here’s where we’re at in the van or here you know I don’t want to put something in real time but that also has stunted my growth because not posting in real time causes me not to share things and then I feel
00:24:40 so behind so yeah when I can’t when I was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement it was like two years of my RV life that I couldn’t talk about and so by the time you get to talk about it or you want to talk about it it’s kind of like it’s ped and it’s like oh should I share this now or how do I share this now or how do you even catch up on all of that content and all those pictures and all those things like how do you put that together in a pretty little package and give it to you and so again I
00:25:04 haven’t shared the trip that we took to go get the van when we sold the motor home and we flew 2,000 mil away with two dogs and a cat and we drove the van back like I haven’t even shared that on this channel or anywhere but I feel like it’s so valuable because I literally vlogged the whole trip until we got to this RV park and Negative Nancy came out when we in Las Vegas and she actually says something like oh this motor home um we wanted to park somewhere and we didn’t want to walk cuz we were in the van by
00:25:39 we didn’t have an extra car so every day we were going to have to drive the van out five miles an hour from the back of the mile long RV park and go to the front to do anything or take the dogs or do or anything so this lady she had something she we said something like we wanted to move spots and then um we were in the van not the motor home but she didn’t know that well she did know that but she didn’t know that we just had a motor home before that and so she made some comment when we wanted to move the
00:26:08 van about like oh well I would have helped you out if you were in a motor home because it would have been more expensive versus a van and I was like well we just sold our motor home we just bought this van but she like talked down to us like we were demoted to Van life and I was thinking well girl we got another trailer back home and so many other things that you probably would wish you had but I don’t really say things like that and I don’t come off like that but it just made me go into silence so I was like vlogging this trip
00:26:37 and then I was scared to talk anymore and I wasn’t even doing it in real time I just felt she made me feel silent so people like come at me and then it makes me feel like oh if I talk or do anything then I can’t it makes me pause okay and so protection of my space my time people around me um some people probably don’t want to be on camera I try to protect and not just put like my whole life out there either because I do want to say that I feel so blessed and I love my boyfriend of nine years I love my family
00:27:13 I’m so blessed that I still have parents that are alive and I have lost some but again you know I grew up from a divorced family so probably why my life feels so split it’s like I always have these double holidays double everything it’s like whose family do you go to which parent do you spend time with and I was making these videos and I actually mentioned you know my dad kind of like called me a Drifter once when I talked about the RV life and so like he doesn’t get it he’s been here he’s visited my RV
00:27:44 and he he likes it but I just it’s not his thing you know so these people talking to me it kind of made me feel pushed into this silence so um catching up feels really hard like I don’t know how to catch up on my content so I just feel that at some point I made a transition in my business and part of it comes from back when I started my YouTube channel I found this girl and she taught you how to sell yourself on YouTube and it was like how to sell your business but I wasn’t necessarily trying to sell my V life I was making videos
00:28:22 about Vegas and and Vlogs and um websites and just whatever was going on at the time and so um I wish that I just would have kept everything on that channel and then developed from there and changed my name from there and all of that because I’ve literally had to start over from scratch with my name blogging Brandy a year ago even though I have followers on all those other channels and I could have just changed the name but it’s like now that you’ve done it it’s kind of like hard to go back so you can follow me as
00:28:52 blog and Brandy B GG i n g b r n d i and you can follow me as rity RV e r s i t y hopefully I spelled that right um but again links to all that stuff in the description below and you can head over to rv.com or even blogging brandy.com but this what happened is I found this check when I was doing my YouTube um videos and she was teaching me how to make these YouTube videos and sell yourself like I would be like hey go download this thing download my download below and not just make a video to make
00:29:29 a video but essentially tell people hey subscribe to my channel and that you can take my course or you can book a call with me or you can shop my store or you can take my webinar and so it was a way for me to share my products and services with you and so I took that from my blog and Brandy business stuff to my rers channel and what happened was at some point though this person went from teaching was selling this course and and I wish they just would have taught me how to sell which that they did I’m
00:30:04 thankful for that but they went from selling this course on how to how to grow a YouTube channel to selling this course that I didn’t really know I was kind of getting into about how to create a course so then they told you to sell this course for like a really high ticket item so when I started our Verity years and years ago I planned for it to be a website or a place that you could go because when I was on this island this guy was talking to me and he was like um telling me when he started this
00:30:36 blog about how he would do these membership websites and so I don’t know kind of like I think that’s kind of where it started so I wanted to make a membership website not a course but this person kind of like just dropped off selling one product and went straight for selling this course and so they were telling me Oh you have to sell this course and you need to get the sales team and you should sell it for this really high ticket and so it was kind of like causing this problem in my relationship
00:31:09 should I say because relationship in in all kinds of ways my RV life my relationship my family life but it went from hiring a sale trying to hire a sales team and essentially like that’s eventually what it was going to be but I would literally pull my RV over and park on the side of the inter state to talk to people and then sometimes they wouldn’t show up or I’d be like put I’d make my boyfriend put his whole life on hold for me to take these sales calls and or to to take like a zoom call or something and then I was doing like two
00:31:43 times a week and then I was like wow we’re supposed to be rving and having this beautiful life and traveling but I’m supposed to be taking these Zoom calls twice a week and then not just hosting calls twice a week but also posting um well I was posting content by them posting videos but hosting these calls twice a week for my community but then and Consulting calls but then also taking sales calls and then if I wasn’t going to take the sales calls then I should hire people to take the sales calls and I was like whoa I’m
00:32:10 not trying to hire a team like I’ve always had businesses that were behind the scenes I started a reselling business that’s how I quit my six figure job and I was in finance if you don’t know that and I used to cut hair and do all that stuff and so I have like a degree in finance and a bunch of fun stuff that you probably didn’t know about series 766 and insurance license annuities um but I created an App I’ve sold courses I’ve sold my services and skills I’ve helped other brands and businesses I’ve made videos for other
00:32:40 brands and businesses I’ve helped them create their websites and do social media marketing for them um I’ve sold my own merch meaning like branded merchandise and still do um I’ve done affiliate marketing uh coaching courses apps so so much more and so I’m probably repeating myself but I just feel like I took all the things that I had built up until that point and I threw them away because this person was like well you need to have one channel and one thing that you focus on you shouldn’t do all those other things
00:33:13 you’re going to confuse people whatever so that’s what I did I literally deleted half my email list deleted my website for blogging Brandy and only focused on RV life and it’s like I just threw everybody else away and that was a horrible idea it I I almost just broke my business broke half my brand and I wish I don’t want to say I don’t wish that I would have ever followed this person I just want to say I wish this person would teach people how to sell not just how to sell a course or how to sell a YouTube
00:33:48 channel because it caused so much chaos in my life and actually like when I bought into them they weren’t very clear on what you were buying into to and so even their their program and all that stuff it’s like changed so much since then and so literally unless you have like $7,000 or $10,000 to give them like you can’t even talk to them or work with them and so like this person that that would tell me to sell this course with the funny thing is like they don’t even take sales calls they literally have like little minions
00:34:17 and a whole team to do it for them and so if you’ve ever booked a sales call with me I just want you to know that’s where it comes from is this person was like you need to sell this course this High tiet item and it’s better to have less people take this High ticket item and get more of your time and it’s great I’m so happy that I do the coaching and I have my course and all that fun stuff but what I really wanted and from the beginning was a membership and so I would take these sales calls and it’s literally like my
00:34:43 boyfriend would be like this is not fun why do you have to take these calls all the time so then I would cancel one call and I only did one I went from two calls a week to one call a week and then you know people will get tired of showing up for stuff too you know not everybody can show up for every call all the time and they this person was like oh you should do one call during the day and one call at night and then I would find that some people like nobody would even show up during the day it was kind of weird not
00:35:08 weird because they probably work so that’s why I went from posting a lot my videos at night I mean yeah posed my videos during the day to posting videos at night or even on the weekends or off times because people that watch my content usually watch my videos when they’re not at work I would assume maybe when they’re at home or maybe you listen to my stuff in the car I don’t know so again I know I’m probably rambling but I just feel like we need to talk and some things that I wanted to tell you and so
00:35:35 I made some videos about like oh I’m sorry and I’m doing adversity beta testing and so I really want you to know that’s kind of like there’s a shift and things that are changing but I felt like this course was rning my relationship and so I took some time off over the summer and I went to five countries in five weeks that I haven’t even got to share and I want to share but I probably wouldn’t share on this channel I probably share on my blog and Brandy content but I went to Cuba and um Bahamas and
00:36:03 Puerto Rico and then Jamaica and also came back here to the states and went to Washington DC and some other fun places so been to several several countries over the last in five weeks I don’t want to say over the last five weeks but it was literally a week at each place and so I had to leave the dogs behind I had to leave my RV behind and it was fun it was refreshing but it also was a reminder of you know there’s more to me than just Marv but um it made me think like okay that these phone calls that thing was ruing
00:36:40 your RV life and your relationship and it just put a strain on things should I say made it not fun because it’s like I want to share about marvie life I want to put it out there back kind of I’m like okay how do you catch up where all should you share it should you only make YouTube videos you can’t focus on every platform all the time and then if I post in real time right now it’s like I talk about my van or my trailer but I never talked about my motor home and so yeah it’s like I shared stuff now but it’s
00:37:07 like what about the rest of it it’s like there’s this Gap in my content so I was not able to pursue all my passions I guess over the last couple years that I wanted to pursue and so um I’ve had a loss of creativity um I’ve had lots of calls but I felt like people weren’t able to work with me and that’s why I wanted to start offering like this membership this beta test this thing that I’m talking about I haven’t really released it but I really wanted to share like hey there’s so much more to me than my R RV or there’s so much
00:37:41 more that I’ve wanted to say to you or share with you but I’m not sure where to share it and even when I share it online it’s like it just goes into the obliss so um also it’s like you need to know that I make money from mult multiple different ways and I also didn’t tell you I wrot a book I read a book too but sometimes I just yeah I feel like I’m rambling and I have multiple homes and multiple RVs and it wasn’t what I planned this wasn’t what I planned but you don’t really plan for these things
00:38:15 and um I just feel like I’m living this double life that’s what I feel like and so how do I share everything how do I catch up what do I share when do I share where do I share everything I told you I wanted your comments below I want to hear from you I want you to become part of my community over at arity and be a member um and I just feel like you never see me like I like I have this this this secret life that I never share I guess um and so another thing I I don’t know if I said this I’m so exhausted it’s super early in the
00:38:59 morning I started this video at 2:23 a.m. but I just wanted to take some time off to rethink and that’s what I did over the summer over the over a lot of time that I haven’t posted on this channel over posting on my other channel and I want to be more alive or more present but I just feel like I want to do it in a private space not necessarily all over YouTube or all over social media and so that’s why I wanted to create my membership and the thing that I originally wanted to create which is educational content as well as like a
00:39:32 place to hang out with me so it’s more than just a course it’s more of you’re supporting me and I don’t really know what it’s going to be I’ve thought about doing stickers or fun things to my members and I want to do q&as and zoom calls and so it’s something completely different than a course that you would take it’s literally access to private content exclusive content educational content and fun content that will help you in your RV life and on your journey but also a way for you to get to hang out with me and go behind
00:40:07 the scenes with me so it’s just to me a happy medium balance of something but I do feel a little bit discredited and sleazy about going from offering a really high ticket item to offering a low ticket item but essentially it is something completely different from the other thing um I want to make sure that I don’t miss anything and then you know I always feel like I have to post videos instead of posting blog posts but again I feel like these videos get to more people than my blog posts do my program I’ve mentioned
00:40:46 this but it’s in beta so things might be broken they may not be working I made a whole video about the beta testing of it um if you go to rvs.com jooin you will see the membership and all the things I’m talking about I made a video about like what beta is but essentially it just means that it’s not perfect it’s something new that I’m doing and I’m working out the king so um I also let’s see what else I feel like it’s costing me it’s caused me Focus it’s caused me to forget stuff it’s caused me to push stuff off to
00:41:18 minimize things um to make things smaller and also it’s costus me like I’ll be over here posting a video or worried about posting a video or doing something or not doing something but then I have this other thing that I’m paying for or a system that I’m paying for by either not talking about my content or forced to be selling just this like course thing and I hope that makes sense like when I say that and if you’re a follower of mine then you do know you’re like man I’ve talked this chick she used to sell this course I do
00:41:45 sell a course still um I have rvers and I have rvn for bosses so I sell a course all about like how to get into RV life my full-time RV life formula and then I also have a course about RV in for bosses and like how you would start your own website and social media and put all those things together like how I’m talking to you now um but those things start to become these huge Endeavors and I didn’t want my whole life to revolve around getting on sales calls and selling these courses so I’ve tried to
00:42:17 readjust things in my business and it’s not perfect yet and I don’t know exactly where everything is going yet but I’m on a path okay and so I just felt like God has led me and told me to do this other thing or the thing that I wanted to do or where I should have started and so that’s kind of like where I’m coming at this from so again it is freezing in here I do know I have the heat on it it’s freezing in here and I just feel like I’m like rambling to get this out but all of this has added up and I feel
00:42:46 like I’m paying for things that I never needed and I was following what other people have either stunted me or pushed me into and it’s just it’s put a damn ER on me enjoying my RV life and like you know what I even want to do and my videos are so out of order and I feel like I’ve been trying to also do this behind the scenes Brandy and also rebranding myself at the same time so it’s so much and I wasn’t sure kind of at the beginning of the year where I was going to take like this Channel and I just I I feel led in in this way and
00:43:30 so um again I have separate YouTube channels I’ve been rebuilding what I’ve broken um my course was like this constant update I feel like people are like oh why are you not bigger than you are well there you go that’s probably a lot of the reasons why I’m not bigger than I am and why I just feel stunted in my growth and also I just like I said I’m exhausted I’m exhausted um and and don’t look necessarily at the followers how many people have you should also consider Impressions and Views and clicks things that you
00:44:09 probably never see so just because someone only has 50 subscribers on their brand new social media account that they just started that somebody mention to me doesn’t mean that they don’t have 50,000 people viewing it or liking their content just because someone doesn’t follow them but um YouTube I just feel like people are able to find me and then also I don’t know if I mentioned this but I had several Facebook groups too so i’ started some Facebook groups and then I felt led to like start another Facebook
00:44:49 group and things just got really weird and so I’ve been trying to like pull some people from our verion University over to my blog and Brandy and then I was trying to rebuild my systems and this massive monster that I had created but then kind of like deleted but then tried to get back from both on my blog and Brandy side and my rvn side and so yeah if you want to find me online there’s a couple places I’d tell you to go rvs.com bloging brandy.com and I mentioned birdies dogh house.com which is where um I share about birdie and the
00:45:29 dogs and I would like to share more but again I just feel so behind on my content and that I feel pressured I was only allowed to talk about my review life so I never talked about my dog’s life I never talked about adopting my dog and how it went through all that Foster and how that helped me heal from all of the other craziness that was going on or how I lost my dogs during all this and how I wasn’t able to be with them because of my RV life and what was going going on in my RV life it was just it was crazy it’s been so crazy and
00:46:00 so my life is unpredictable it’s been unpredictable I didn’t plan on having two RVs I planned on just supporting other people on their journey and it’s just turned into something I guess a little bit crazy and I just I don’t feel like I have a home you know I don’t feel like I have this one home this one place but whenever I was doing my zoom calls and having Live Events and hosting my content in a different way it just made me feel more alive like I had a tribe like I had people behind me and and and at this point I just feel
00:46:37 like I broke all that and I’m restarting it and so I created this rvers membership that I’ve mentioned but I really want to stress that to you it’s rers back.com jooin but it’s my membership it’s where you can get exclusive exclusive content and access to me it doesn’t mean that you can’t still take one of my courses or shop my store and check out some of the tools and resources that I’ve put out there um I have merchandise out there where you can get like rity stickers and um I want to do like
00:47:11 camping merchandise more of like you know um kind of like I don’t know if you can see that pillow bag there but where it says home is where where you park it things like that but I have merchandise for sale you can book calls with me if you want to talk directly to me one to one and you don’t want to wait for like a group call but I just wanted it to be more of just instead of just like hanging out with Brandy I also want it to be like educational content so it’s really an you unlocking like a back door
00:47:41 to me and my website but strictly a lot about my review life and I also have a group on um Discord I don’t know if you know what that is but it’s like a text group so it’s not just a a Facebook group I do have an an RV Facebook group I even have a free one that you can join I’ll put a link to it below this video you can check that out but I also have this community where you have access to me okay so it’s not just you and like these other rvers it’s like you and me and so you can text and you can chat
00:48:09 with me and you really have a lot of one-on-one access to me but it’s not this Force thing and I’m not showing up every single week on phone calls or filling forc to do that it’s more of hey we’re going to have these Hangouts and I do want to do some Live Events like in person I just have to figure out how to work that out um I’d like to do that but I do see all these other rvers and they say hey come support me and subscribe to my channel but you know give me a fee and stuff like that and I don’t feel
00:48:41 right doing that like here on YouTube and say I’m like hey sign up and subscribe and pay me but I do feel right if I’m giving you content and something more than just me so that’s why why I wanted to create this that’s why I wanted to talk to you I feel like there’s so much that I haven’t told you I feel like this video was like so all over the place but I really felt like we needed to talk and that I needed to tell you some of those things and kind of like why I feel like you know I’m not married and why we don’t have this one
00:49:13 life right now and why it’s like I have this city life and I have my RV life and then I have the van life and the dog life and you never get to see it all in real time or I haven’t shared shared a lot of it is because I just feel like how do I catch up how do I share that now but I’m working on it I do have other videos coming out I love to create videos sometimes I get so tired of editing them but also by joining me and supporting me that means that it allows me to create this content without so much of like a
00:49:49 sales aspect to it because I’d rather people subscribe to me and support me because they’re like I love that chick and I just want to be part of her Comm community and meet other people like her and like me you I mean versus me trying to sell you this one item that you should go buy and so I have all those things I’m excited about this I’m nervous about this I was scared to make this video but I feel sleazy not making this video and if you haven’t seen a lot of the other videos that I’ve made recently I will just pray
00:50:26 that you go watch them if you haven’t seen my story I pray that you go watch it if you haven’t subscribed or liked this video liked this channel like this channel subscribe to this Channel and or like this video subscribe to this Channel and tap that little bell icon so you’re notified the next time that I publish I’m thankful that you follow me I’m thankful that you’ve watched this video up until this point I love you I want to share more with you um working through that but I just feel like I feel more alive when I I have
00:50:56 this tribe behind me when I have my people with me and when there’s not all this noise also from like social media which is why I kind of wanted it to be on my website in this private chat Community which I don’t not also have social media and all of that too where people can connect but I really wanted this like onetoone connection because I used to have this slack group with my clients in um one of my courses when I did rvn for bosses and it just made everything so much more fil fulfilling and so I wanted to give you a way to
00:51:29 connect with me I wanted to give you a way to support me and me to support you and yeah why do I feel guilty for even asking that of you I guess um but I just feel like this is the direction that I need to go with my my channel my content and some of it almost feels like a demotion but Jesus was demoted people were demoted Ed and and if you want to rise up you got to be willing to go down you know what I’m saying and if it wasn’t for me sharing my story on this channel years and years ago or maybe a year or
00:52:05 two ago I never would have even grown to where I’ve at I wouldn’t have met half the people that I’ve met and I’m I’m so blessed I’m so blessed that you follow me I’m so blessed that you listen to me ramble I’m so blessed that you follow me in my RV life and there’s so much more that I want to share with you and that I feel like I’m forgetting that you just don’t know about me and it just I want to be there more present with with you and so I guess this is my way of doing it so again I know I’m rambling I don’t know why I feel like I
00:52:45 have to be perfect when I show up for you I feel like there’s a lot of you that are like I just love this chick when she shows up real and yeah so I I love you I thank you for watching this I pray you will join me on the other side and check out all the things that I mentioned become a member of my community and I’ll see you in the next video until the next time I’ll put links to everything I mentioned down below some playlist some other fun stuff that you can watch and yeah that’s it so thanks for
00:53:18 watching again I love you and I’ll see you in the next video or I’ll see you on the other side even sooner maybe today in my community
