hello everybody and then we're gonna get right into it so tonight's topic is

going to be goal-setting so what goals to set and then how to crush them okay

that's that's what we're going over if you're in the inner circle

we talked about this a little bit on Friday as well so it's just going to be

a continuation of that discussion you made yourself and it's how we it's how

we do this so we are talking about goal-setting today okay

I'm gonna get this out of the way alright so we are talking about

goal-setting the important thing especially whether you have a business

or don't it doesn't really make a difference goals are goals are goals

right so it makes no difference whether you have a business if you've had one

for years if you're just starting a business if you don't have one but you

just have a busy honkin life then goals still matter right so that's what we're

going to talk about right now and I'm going to be utilizing the tactic of

SMART goals a lot of you have probably already you're probably way familiar

with them especially if you're in any sort of corporate atmosphere at all

SMART goals are all the rage so a SMART goal hey Ruki oh I haven't seen you for

so long poppin in to say hi she says so SMART

goals are goals that are specific goals that are measurable goals that are Ruki

thank you for being so amazing well stop it thank you goals that are measurable

goals that are attainable goals that are realistic and goals that are time bound

or time related or timely is the word that they use but it's easier to explain

if it's you know time bound is how I to say it so so that being said what do

we do to determine what goals were going to be working on okay because whenever

you have these huge stretch goals right like the that this is where I want to be

in a year or this is where I want to be in three years or this is where I want

to be in five years right those are like the aspirations the dreams the vision

the that's I mean that's where we want to be so what we have to do is we have

to break that into steps right so we can actually get there so when we break that

into steps what you're going to do at this point and let me know if you have

any questions or anything Ruki it's difficult to catch live while

in office oh I hear you I hear you I hear you we always have these in here so

whenever you are breaking those goals down into smaller smaller goals that you

can meet and then meet and then meet and then meet and all the while that you're

hitting these goals what you're doing mentally is you're gaining momentum

right so you you have started meeting goals and then whenever you hit that one

then you work on your next one and you work on your next one and you work on

your next one all the while picking up steam gaining

momentum gaining authority really great and gaining some gravity to yourself

gravity to your brand it's it's almost like a little swagger right yeah you

gain you gain so much as you just keep hitting these goals okay so my

suggestion is this take one of your this is I need to be specific here because I

don't want to say well just think of this thing I'm gonna be specific I take

your year stretch goal so where do you want to be in a year okay and make it a

stretch goal and a stretch goal is like a little bit more than you even think

you can do like that dream goal okay no I'm not saying a little bit more than

you think you can do like I want to be a billionaire next year because that is I

mean it's a stretch goal of course and it's not outside of you know the realm

of reality at all but it's let's let's let's rope it in a little bit right so

what is the one-year stretch goal either for you for your business for your life

for you know where you're living or what your lifestyle is gonna be like or

whatever that is to you what is your one-year stretch goal okay and then now

let's break down into one or two smaller goals that are going to be steps to get

you there okay because we look at the stretch goal and then what we need now

is a goal for the next 30 days one or two goals for the next thirty days what

do you think and we're talking about pushing the needle on that stretch goal

for the year what do you think that you can do in the next 30 days that's

realistic that will get you to that stretch goal okay so if the stretch goal

is income related which a lot of times it is right in one way or another a lot

of times it is if it's income related okay so what are the things that would

need to happen in order to get to that income right so what you're going to do

is you're going to reverse-engineer that goal into a 30 day step right so one or

two steps that would get you there so so let's go ahead and think of what what

those one or two steps in the next 30 days is going to be so for somebody that

maybe has an income goal let's do an easy one so like a hundred thousand

dollars say you want to say you want your business to be making a hundred

thousand dollars by next year okay I mean that's that's that's a very

attainable goal right so so let's talk first

the very first thirty days of what that looks like is infrastructure right so

you would you would see where is your business what is the interest

structure look like what does the base what is the the the cornerstone of

everything what does that look like for your business right so what what you

would do first is you would start framing things out like you're building

a house so you would you would get the foundation and then you would start

framing it out okay that's a house by the way so so you would so you would

work on the foundation so the foundation for for the hundred thousand dollar a

year for your business a lot of its going to rely on education right so

there's going to be education of products that you sell there's going to

be education of marketing there's going to be education of maybe finances

there's going to be an education of how to how to how to work with social media

and I understand that works into marketing but there's also something

very organic about it that isn't necessarily marketing that is really

just how you show up in social media that does play into marketing but it's

it's more personal than that so those are that's all education pieces

that you're going to need you're also going to need that and what we talked

about last week which is the ecosystem of services that you're going to be able

to offer your clients okay so if your goal is $100,000 next year like if you

want to have made $100,000 a year by next year then the very first things and

this is actually gonna catapult you way past a hundred thousand I'm sure but but

getting that ecosystem of services down right and if you're not sure what I'm

talking about please watch the video from last week they're also up on

YouTube but you can watch those and I don't want to go through it all again

and I want you to really get it and absorb it so make sure that you watch

that but so you would have the ecosystem of services and then you would also you

would also have that education piece okay so for the next thirty days what I

would do if I were that person and please ask

questions if you have them like personally in your own business in your

own life if you have questions about goals please put them into the chat here

so I can so I can answer them because I kind of quickly go through things and

then I would like to just address you personally if you have some questions

okay so so that being said for the next 30

days my goals if I were that person my goals would be to make sure that by the

end of that 30 days that I have my ecosystem of services down at least for

now and understand that that will be a constantly evolving thing for you don't

feel like a horse with blinders on like you're just going to set it and forget

it on your services I see a lot of people do that and then they get really

frustrated whenever they whenever they change their services or whenever they

edit it or whenever they are evolving right either as a person or as a

business they feel really bad and they go through this whole mourning period of

this thing that they thought was going to be but that's okay right are our

businesses are constantly evolving because we are our businesses and we are

constantly evolving and we can't like put a straitjacket on ourselves and just

not be able to grow because that doesn't do us any service and it definitely

doesn't do anybody that we are here to serve any service either right so make

sure that you just become okay with being fluid being fluid in your growth

and that's a being and flowing and all of the things so what I suggest is

getting that ecosystem of services down at least what it is right now okay and

when I say what it is right now that's the service that you offer right now but

then also add in the other hubs of service where people can come in to you

from different avenues or from different directions so you

don't just have the one thing even if maybe you do nails for a living or

something right so to you you're like well I do this one thing but there are

so many ways that you can market that one thing and there are so many

different types of things that you can do with it please watch the video if you

haven't already so so there is that the suite of services is one thing I would

definitely do and then the the next smart goal that I would do for the 30

days would be the education piece so what I personally do every day of the

week Monday through Friday every day of the week I take a course I take somebody

else's course I take online courses five times a week I take them in the morning

so my morning routine is drinking coffee until I'm coherent and and then I go to

the gym with my husband and we go to a spinning class and then I come home I

grab another coffee and then I come home and I put in my earbuds and I am dead to

the world for about an hour and a half while I'm taking a course I make sure

that I do that early in the day so it cannot be skipped over it cannot be just

something that you know gets put on tomorrow's to-do list and the next day

and the next day the reason why is because I'm responsible for folks in my

inner circle I'm responsible for their education right I need to know

everything about everything okay and I cannot just learn it all which I mean

I've learned a lot right until this point but if I were to just stop and say

well I'm good I would not be doing anybody any service right that's I

wouldn't be helping anybody I wouldn't be continuing to grow right things

change and they change so fast right so it's my responsibility to make sure that

the people in there have what they need and then I also have my own agency

right so I need to make sure that I'm doing what my clients need so it just it

works all the way around but I take courses every single day so what I would

suggest is to set aside time on a regular repeating pattern I'm not saying

go to town like I do because it's I I do it obviously it's it's my it's my living

to do that but if this is what you're doing for the next 30 days and you're

just doing it for 30 days in order to get that education down then make sure

that you're setting aside time and that you're getting you're learning in so you

do know what you're doing so you can build out a plan for yourself right

Vicki questions study for pre pre license test questions study for pre pre

lik tests and I feel like that's pre license test and then write my e-book so

for your 30 day goals are those your 30 day goals and Jenny never stop learning

love it yes exactly that's that is the that's the gold you guys that's the gold

I feel like whenever we stop learning or whenever we feel like we've got it I am

so scared of ever hearing that sentence from anybody I'm close to because it's

you're just you've you've now stepped into the realm of lethargy right is

lethargy no way do you say that I know how to spell it you say it but okay yes

all right so your 30-day things so study for

pre-license yes right your eBook yes writing an e-book is actually so much

easier than you could ever imagine really all it takes is sitting down and

doing it and and chipping away at it so what I do is wake up in the morning and

then think of the two things the two important things for that day that are

going to push the need on my business so my Givens are that I'm

going to go work out which is good for my business because it's good for my

body it's good for my soul it's good for everything right it's like the best

thing I could do for myself ever and then after that I do my my coursework

where I'm studying and I'm learning so those both are given so those I cannot

cheat and say well I am going to work out and do my online course today that

those are going to be the two things I'm gonna do today no Martha because those

are Givens so besides that what two things are you going to do in order to

push the needle forward in your business today or in your life or toward your

goal really so what are the two things so every day it's different for me no

day is the same so every day is different for me so I'll have you know

I'm I'm building this funnel and I'm and I'm recording this video or something

like that or I'm creating this website and then I'm writing copy for this sales

page or I'm you know those I pick two huge things and then I knock them out so

the things whenever you're writing an e-book the difficult part this is crazy

the most difficult part about writing an e-book is the amount of time that you

spend thinking about the book that you should write because the amount of time

that you spend thinking about it the book gets heavier and heavier and

heavier and it keeps becoming that thing that you didn't do and and it's it

becomes like this what is it a mountain out of a molehill right it's really not

a big deal but then it becomes this big deal

because you've put it off for so long and really all that you need to do is

every day commit an hour set your timer commit an hour to writing to just

allowing yourself to write and then the next day commit an hour to writing like

you have to have this self-discipline to say I do nothing else

but right for this next hour that's that's what you do and it'll be fun and

then you're gonna be done with it in like a week I'm not even kidding because

once you get into the flow then you're in the flow right and it just keeps

going and maybe you'll write for longer than an hour but it was the fact that

you committed to an hour that allowed that flow to happen if that makes sense

hi Amy who else has questions who else has

questions because it is 7:21 I have about nine minutes left for those of you

that just came in we're talking about we're talking about obviously setting

goals and we're talking about SMART goals and making sure that our goals

that we're creating are actually attainable and then setting a time to

get those complete so the time that we're getting those complete that we're

talking about right now would be 30 day goals which would be a short goal on our

way to our stretch goal for a year okay Tish I write and channel every day now

heck yeah hi Beth hello yeah if anybody has any

goals any questions about goals please ask because I would love to be able to

help you guys out also we have this is just some housekeeping we have lots of

stuff in the works right now oh pass I'm gonna say this I have a

facebook business page how okay is it two groups or is it best to share from

your time like oh to sharing groups okay so excuse me

Facebook business page how okay is it to share two groups or is it best to share

from your timeline groups are an interesting thing right I I am a fan

there are people that would say both they would say to do both

I am a big fan of sharing from your personal page now you have to be very

careful about doing a whole lot of business stuff from your personal page

however whenever we are from your I said from your personal page right

whenever I whenever you're sharing something that's just really important

to you something that you know is like a

conviction of yours or is a passion of yours just that you would be doing

anyway and it happens to also be a business you can share things like that

from your personal page and I think that it holds more weight when it comes from

your personal page also I mean it's shown it's shown to people

then because when it comes from your business page the algorithm on the

business page not hot not hot so if you really have to you really have to set up

Facebook ads and things like that and get a good audience for your Facebook

business page in order for people to even see that you're putting anything on

there okay so so the business page or the personal page is what I would do

real quick I'm gonna say this I was starting to say it right before she

asked but we have the the free month campaign for inner circle is ending on

Friday okay so if you wanted the free month make sure that you get in before

Friday next week if you had not gotten in before next week you are gonna so

wish that you had because next week we introduced a new tiered inner circle and

anybody that is already in the inner circle like the people that are in there

right now automatically get bumped up to the next tier automatically just for

being there so you could even be in there with your free month and you would

automatically get bumped up to the next tier and like I said there's gonna be

three tiers I'll talk about it more next week but yeah if you want to get in on

that I would definitely get in on it like if I were you if I were you

watching me right now I would be getting in on the

free month right now just out of curiosity probably because I would be

like oh I wonder what's gonna happen next week so I definitely do that let me

put in the link just real quick because I did just say it there you go you have

the link if you're curious click it so there's that okay Tish how do I reach

more people on lives okay you do lives from your business page don't you do you

do lives from your personal page at all I wait for you to answer that

I'll read Beth's while I'm waiting for that Beth is working on the foundation

is working on the foundation is education about your own business before

you start putting procedures or actions into place okay so I'm going to try to

understand that sentence is working on the foundation education about your own

business before you start putting procedures or actions so what I think

you're saying there is should you be studying about your own business before

you move forward I feel like that's the question and absolutely so I think that

that is part of the ecosystem that I was talking about because that's really what

I do is I kind of go up 30,000 feet and look down at the business and say okay

so this is what you can do this is the lay of the land for your business and

you can go here and you can go here and you can go here and you can go here and

and what you do so it's I think Gary Vee Gary Vaynerchuk calls it clouds and dirt

so you're up in the clouds and then it's like you take a nose dive right into the

dirt and then you get going and you make it happen right so that that is the very

first thing so before you start educating yourself with

how you're going to market it or writing a sales page or anything like that be

crystal stinking clear about what your offerings are going to be okay so if you

have not yet watched and this is like the fourth time I've said it so please

watch it if you haven't watched the ecosystem video make sure that you watch

that because that is going to make all of the sense in the world about what I'm

talking about right now but yeah make sure that you're clear on offering

services things like that and then start building up from there on how you're

going to market it how you're going to do all of the things yeah definitely

Beth Joe hey Joe be vulnerable share from

your personal account yes yes I love sharing from personal accounts I love

that because it's not only not only are you not high yet Joe is exactly right

not only are you not hiding behind the shroud right or the veil of ambiguity

somewhat right because you're on this business page and and and it represents

a thing that maybe you don't every day represent in your life or represent in

your life every day definitely make sure that whenever you're talking about your

business or what you do or anything that drives you right be as transparent and

vulnerable as you possibly can in your personal account because all that that's

going to do is send out the bat signal to the people that resonate right to the

people that have that same exact feeling have those same fears have those same

happy thoughts right that that do those same things like there was a post I did

today and it was it was a goofy post but it was as soon as I I was getting

serious about about typing and my bracelets were getting in the way and

I'm like oh they're coming off they're going down on the desk and then whenever

I did that I was like I wonder how many other people do that right so then I

took a picture of them and I said you know it's getting

curious when the bracelets come off and and then I there were a bunch of me two

things for that because it it is serious they do get in the way right but it's

that sort of stuff where people you can connect with people like transparency

and sometimes it feels a bit goofy and it feels a bit I don't know it just

feels a bit goofy like you're I don't know documenting your entire life like

at the very beginning maybe there's a little bit of that impostor mentality

that happens where it's like who cares that you're you know who cares about

that but kind of push through that and and keep doing it anyway because people

do care and you can connect with people and heuk you know you're a goofball it's

alright just do it hey Alyssa Beth sorry lol omit the

second is okay we're beyond the foundation education about your business

okay cool so I address that tissue just answered that lol my bed oh good Vicki I

have not done a facebook live yet oh man Vicki we have to work on that we have to

work on that not of ten no not of ten I can't remember what that's about

Vicki please look link it link what I think you're talking about linking the

the thing that I already linked I'm pretty sure Joe Vicki it's time to start

gett live and be open to your audience yeah Joe does some really good lives too

he does him in his car those are the ones that I've seen on LinkedIn Joe or

the the car lives Tish I will try them on my personal page Thanks yes

absolutely please do that Tish because that that's going to get so so much more

mileage than on your business page whenever it's it's just a thing whenever

people see a business pay and it's live now there are some reasons

to do it from your business page if you're using it as a Facebook ad

strategy so that's something that of course we talked about over in the inner

circle but you can do it from your personal page do the lives from your

personal page and get so much more mileage because lives from a business

page sometimes people just don't even listen to them depending on you know

their own perceptions I guess but life's from business pages feel a certain kind

of way you would have to have a really snappy headline or a really catchy

headline where they're like I have got to know this thing so I guess that would

be a hint or a trick is to make a headline just irresistible like that you

are answering something and you'll be ending that loop or closing that loop in

the live so maybe pose a question or say I am going to be talking about one of

the most amazing yada yada yada right and then and then say you're gonna find

out about it in this video right here and then you know close the loop or give

the solution give the the the answer to that question on the actual life make

sure you do that make sure you do honor that what you said

so okay man we have such we're so chatty tonight I love it da da da da

Joe Martha is so right I could I could listen to that every day think about

what inspires you it's about stories and being real absolutely Beth I haven't

either oh you haven't done a live either Beth

oh man we need to work on maybe we will do tell me what you think about this

guys maybe we will do a challenge like a showing up challenge in here like a

showing up challenge where we do Facebook lives and and I don't know my

idea needs to flow from there but maybe we will do a challenge in the next

couple of weeks right now I am up to my kneecaps it's stuff I need to do but I

would say in a couple of weeks I could probably do that with you guys if you

want let me know that okay um did you do Jenny yes I do that personal connection

yes and who cares what people think anymore to have too many opinions to

care about exactly Jenny that's the thing and the people that like think

that you're a goofball um that's okay right that's okay

they're not your customers they're not your clients they're not you know who

you're trying to reach out to anyway so that's totally okay and they can feel

the way that they feel that's where we all it's that's the beauty that's the

beauty of this world that we live in we all have our flavors we like hearing

from this person and we don't like hearing from that person and it's all

good it is all love Vicki ecosystem oh yes ecosystem Joe Oh link to the

ecosystem video Thank You Vicki let me let me go to the youtubes hang on just a

second you're gonna see me just staring at my screen here for a second there I

am okay there's that video share copy

all right boom pow here is the link to the ecosystems video okay that Mike

always makes these funny thumbnails for me and I always look like a goofball as

I'm talking okay Beth what if your personal page is private I would open up

your personal page I would not have a private personal page it is so difficult

to build a business especially when it's you and you are technically the brand so

difficult with a private page trust me I've been there I've tried it people

want to be able to look you up and see what you're all about so you have to you

have to do it you have to do it I totally suggest it I'm not gonna say you

know you can't be successful without it I wasn't able to find any success

without leaving my without opening up my page Harlen I'm doing my first facebook

live in October yeah I love how you have it on the calendar

we're decluttering one of my clients closets live oh that's amazing

so Carlin does a number of things but one of the things that she does is she's

a decluttering or a clutter coach really and so they're going to do a live about

decluttering one of her clients closets that's awesome

very very cool Carlin and then you'd be able to repurpose that video quite

possibly onto either a sales page or onto your website just to show people

what you do so you don't really just even use it the once right you'll be

able to reuse it tsch I am a goofball I hate you are a

goofball and I love it Jenny the removing of the bracelets I do we'll

start doing lives awesome tsch often stupid tablet oh for the for

the words got it Vicki I am behind oh don't worry

Transparency hey Katie with Facebook page we mean the

business one or your profile when we're referring to when we are talking about

the privacy settings that would definitely be your personal one

Joe Facebook private it's possible to have some private posts just can be a

big pain to do it exactly yeah you can have what I would suggest if there are

people that you want to have you know like maybe you just have a family side

of things that you don't you a they don't need to see all of your business

stuff and you really just talk about family stuff and you share photos and

and that sort of thing what I would do in that instance is I would actually

create a secret group for my family okay and then all of you can just chat in

there and share what you want to share in there and really just share with each

other and it's kind of nice because you have this this space that's only yours

right and you don't need to worry about oh my gosh who was able to see that post

in yada-yada it's all in this secret group right so that's that's what I

would suggest in that instance if you feel like there are some things like

maybe pictures of your kids and stuff like that

that you want like maybe your mom across the country to be able to see but you

don't want for everybody to be able to see it well then just start a secret

group not even a closed group because that's searchable but a secret group

where you really you just you share the URL and that's how people get into it

Katie hi guys hey Katie Katie is making something for my baby

there's going to be a reveal whenever it's done and I could not be any more

excited and I'm not saying anything to my daughter which is also completely

crazy for me because I just like oh like what I can't keep a secret I cannot keep

a secret so I've had to buy her these other things like slime and stuff just

to keep giving her toys so like I don't accidentally just vomit her new thing

all over her it's just it's a whole thing that's my struggle right now that

that's what that's what I'm having a hard time with right now oh man I am in

for lives awesome Beth is Katie making the unicorn you okay so I yes yes yes

Katie it's freaking cute I can't wait I'm like beyond like look at me I'm

beyond excited about this like so stinking excited about this so anyhoo

anywho do you guys have any other questions for this evening it is 7:41 I

kind of like this on the Wednesday night I bet it's laughing I am beyond goofy

you guys like a total ridiculous goofball well cool I'm glad that that

I'm I'm glad that the questions seem to get answered make sure that even if you

feel like because here's a thing is sometimes in the act of even trying to

set goals you get a bit overwhelmed with all the things you need to set goals for

right I can imagine people come into the inner circle and are like oh like all of

the things right it's almost it's like a third for me for a business owner you

walk in it's like you open the doors and it's just like a kid in a candy store

right where you're like oh I don't even know where to start

right so setting goals and having all the things that you want to do get very

grounded right and and think okay what has to happen next and the filter that

the what has to happen next should come through is the what makes me money right

now filter that should be the very first thing okay like the what makes me money

right now that's why services are the first thing because you can start

selling services before you even have sales pages up right that's so make sure

that that you have that sort of grounding whenever you're going into the

goals because I don't want you to like start thinking about all the goals that

you need and then just shutting down if you feel like you're getting to a

shutting down point because of all your goals please reach out please say

something here in the group let somebody talk you through it

I will try my best to talk you through it also this is something that we need

to make sure that we can all stay on task to live the life of our dreams

right which that's that's what we're here to do so that's we're all here to

help okay so please if you run into a block or something post it in here

because that's what this group is for okay Beth will be other lives with the

next steps oh yeah I can do more lives with the next steps I can do that next

week actually I can do that thank me Vicki I will do live on Friday

awesome well then I'm I'll do that challenge -

okay so I'll keep you guys updated on what I'm doing but I'll I'll be doing

the challenge as well so the the showing up challenge or the coming out challenge

maybe it'll be the coming out challenge I kind of like that or the I don't know

I'm gonna sit with it I'm gonna say okay guys well you all have a fantastic night

and I will see you next time

you

Meghan Markle: 'Smart' Duchess uses these body language tricks when talking to the public - Duration: 6:02.

 Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, married Prince Harry at their wedding in May

 Now in a big move since joining the Royal Family, she has released a cook book in aide of the Grenfell Tower tragedy

 Meghan Markle wore a £1,483 outfit to launch the Grenfell cookbook with mum Doria & Prince Harry

  The most striking element of Meghan's look was her blue coat, which was from Canadian brand SMYTHE, and costs an eye-watering £1,186

 Judi James told Express.co.uk: "Meghan is a very smart speaker because her acting experience allows her to combine four subtle but powerful body language techniques to produce a natural-looking style of delivery that is also pitched perfectly for her audience

"Meghan Markle's body language tricks revealedThe 'Upturned V' gap Judi said: "Firstly (Meghan) uses what is called the 'Upturned V' gap under her armpits

" According to Judi this armpit gap can display confidence or a lack of it if the arms are held tight to the body

 Judi said of Meghan: "This gap size is ideal, with the elbows held away from the waist, and is a gesture used effectively by Michelle Obama as well

 "It also has an interpersonal effect, making a speaker feel more confident as well as looking it

"Eye contact Meghan's has a very powerful skill when it comes to eye contact, according to Judi

 She said: "Meghan uses an all-embracing scope of eye contact. "She connects with the entire audience here by scanning round with her eyes

" Scooping movement with splayed fingers Judi said: "Her emphatic hand gesture is a scooping movement with splayed fingers

 "This projects passion and enthusiasm for her cause." Hand clasping Judi said: "Then Meghan brings her hands back into a clasp in between gestures, pulling the hands over and back slightly in a signal of self-effacing modesty

" Judi James also analysed Prince Charles' body language during an interview in which he asserted he tried to be faithful to Princess Diana

  In a resurfaced clip from Prince Charles: His Children, the Paparazzi & Marriage to Diana, Prince Charles addressed the divorce

 Charles was grilled by an interviewer on the break down of his marriage and whether he was unfaithful to his wife

 Her father was previously married to Roslyn Loveless and Meghan has two elder half sibling - sister Samantha Markle and brother Thomas Markle Junior

Actress Meghan's first television appearance in the USA was in an episode of the medical drama General Hospital in 2002

 She later moved on to roles in CSI, Without a Trace and Castle along with bit parts in Hollywood films including Get Him to the Greek, Remember Me and Horrible Bosses

 Meghan was also a "briefcase girl" on Deal or No Deal - but her most famous role was as Rachel Zane in legal drama Suits, which launched in 2011

Stephen Wolfram Explains How Smart Contracts Will Work - Duration: 3:42.

- [Man] I think one of the most interesting ideas

that Blockchain is surfacing

is the idea of computational contracts.

(calming music)

You know, normally when one sets up a contract,

it's something that's written in,

well, almost English but actually it's legalese

because it has to be a bit more precise than English.

And it says, you know, this part is gonna do this,

and that part is gonna do that.

What if we could write that contract in code?

What if we could write a computational contract

that isn't written in legalese

but is written in some computational intelligence language,

which could actually be just executed by a computer

if we chose to, as well as understood by humans?

Well, our Wolfram Language,

that I've been developing for the last 32 years,

is sort of the ideal language

in which to describe things about the world

of the kind that you want to talk about in contracts.

This idea of writing computational contracts,

this is not a new idea.

I mean, for example, Gottfried Leibniz,

back in the late 1600s,

he very definitely had this idea.

In fact it was his reason to try to invent

a bunch of what are now computational concepts,

was he wanted to turn all legal arguments

into matters of pure logic that could potentially

be resolved by a machine.

Well, he happened to be 300 years too early.

Now I think it's kind of the right time to actually

execute things like that,

and so we're very well-positioned with our technology

to actually set up computational contracts,

which can describe how things should happen

in the world in a way that computers can execute.

And so some of those things will be pure

sort of symbolic logic-like things.

Some of those things are more like

automated human judgment.

They're more like the kinds of things

that one can do with machine learning

where one says, you know,

"We'll consider it a grade A peach

"if it has this characteristic with respect

"to this machine vision classifier."

So that's one thing that we've been interested in.

Another thing that's, in a sense, more direct

is whenever you're going to set up a smart contract

or computational contract,

I view sort of computational contracts as kind of

a generalization of the traditional

let's put something on the Blockchain smart contract idea.

But as soon as those contracts are going to be

about real things in the world,

they have to know something about

what actually happened in the world.

And so there's this idea of well,

we needed some kind of smart oracle

that can be connected to the contract

that can be not just something that says,

"Well, this piece of cryptocurrency was transferred

"from this address to this address,

"but you know, it rained yesterday."

And so we, in terms of sort of knowledge about the world

with our Wolfram Alpha technology stack,

we have simply the unique system

that has kind of, across thousands of domains,

kind of computable knowledge about the world.

For quite other reasons,

we've kind of built this thing that allows you

to just ask a computer some fact about the world

and have it returned in computable form.

And that's exactly what one needs

if one wants to know whether this smart contract

that referred to something in the world

should be executed, should go this way or that way.

And so we've been involved with rather

a wide spectrum of the cryptocurrency folk

in providing sort of the connection

to the real world, so to speak,

for things like smart contracts.

The smart way to buy a used phone online - Duration: 6:35.

- The time has come.

I'm coming clean.

I've had the S7 for two years now.

And being someone that films the latest

and greatest tech everyday,

it's gotten me wanting a new phone.

The thing is, I don't wanna spend $1,000

and I don't necessarily need something

that came out yesterday.

So I'm gonna show you how to buy a good, used phone.

(light music)

Okay, I'm buying an S9+.

Now, I am not here to tell you what phone to buy

and I'm sure you'll sound off in the comments

about your favorite devices and what you would buy,

but what I am here to do is to tell you

the best buying practices for a used device.

The safest and most reliable ways.

Before we get to any of that, though.

You have to remember that phones come out in cycles

and there are better and worst times to buy certain devices.

So I hit up Chris Welch, a reporter here at The Verge,

and I was like, Chris, is it a good time to buy an S9+?

- [Chris] So there are pretty clear timelines for when

it's a good idea or bad idea to buy a phone.

New iPhones come out every September

so you really shouldn't buy one if it's July or August.

Samsung puts out the Galaxy S at the start of each year,

March or April.

Then the Note follows that up in the summer.

Google does Pixel updates in October.

In general, Apple and Samsung both change their designs

every two years.

Then in between,

there's a more powerful version of the same phone

with better specs, nicer camera, stuff like that.

That's what we call the S year.

So the question comes down to:

do you want the new flashy design right away?

Or can you wait one year for the more powerful,

more refined version of that same phone.

Now Google is a bit different because

the Pixel generally hasn't used the same design

more than once.

But maybe you'd be totally happy with last year's phone.

You don't need a neural engine to browse Instagram,

or a Snapdragon 845 to play Spotify.

So in your case,

you'd be totally safe to buy the S9+ right now.

And since it's less than a year old,

buying it used will save you at least $100

and still get you a great phone.

- Okay, so we are in luck.

It is a good time to buy a used S9+.

But, where do you start?

I mean there's a million different options.

Personally, I always look at eBay and Craigslist first.

Craigslist can be a little bit of a slippery slope.

If a phone is stolen and then you go to turn it on

and the serial number's flagged as stolen,

you'll be out the phone and the cash.

And you'll have no connection to the seller.

So for this video, I'm gonna skip it entirely.

But let's have a look at eBay.

eBay has a ton of listings

and I went onto Samsung's website to see

what a brand new S9+ would be,

it was around $840.

So I'm gonna try to beat that.

Now, for my sake, I'm going to search by Verizon

because that's my carrier.

There are unlocked devices,

but you'll have to do research on your own

to figure out if they'll work on your network.

I've looked through a bunch of listings

and I found this one.

This is the most promising.

It's a Samsung Galaxy S9+, 64 gigs, for $549.

For me this looks nice because the photos are very clear,

I can tell that there's no scratches on the device.

Wow, they have a lot of five star reviews.

760 positive reviews and only six negative.

When a seller has a lot of positive feedback like this,

it's usually a pretty good sign that

they're safe to buy from.

Also when searching I've noticed a lot

of stock photos used for the photo of the phones,

this is something you wanna stay away from.

It's really important to see your device in the photos

and maybe that means reaching out to the seller

and asking for a photo of a specific thing.

Just to be sure that's the device and that he has it.

So $549 on eBay.

That's pretty good but if you know anything about me,

you know I'm all about the deal.

So I'm gonna keep shopping.

There's this website called swappa.com that I really like.

You're still buying person-to-person

so there is a level of risk,

but there's a lot more safeguards in place

to ensure that you're getting the device

that you're actually looking at.

There's a few listings for the S9+ on here.

They range from about 500 to $800.

That mostly has to do with the storage

but I'm looking for the 64 gigabyte model

so it's not a huge problem for me.

I'll be at the lower end.

Okay so this one looks pretty good, it's $514.

If you look at the photos you'll notice

that there's a code in there.

That's one of the safeguards that Swappa has.

It basically is the code for the sell.

So the phone that you're seeing in the photo,

is the phone for that listing.

I'm gonna scroll down,

I'm gonna read some of the comments next.

Maybe I'll go in and I'll see who the seller is,

if he sold things here before.

Kind of all the same steps as eBay.

Okay so this looks pretty good

and another safeguard is that Swappa doesn't allow the sell

of broken or unusable devices.

Now since you are buying used,

it doesn't come with a warranty.

So say down the line something happens to your phone

or it glitches out.

You're on your own to get it repaired.

If you wanna little bit more reassurance when

buying a used phone,

you might wanna look at refurbished models.

They come with a guarantee.

So if there's a defect down the road,

they'll replace the device for you.

You can buy refurbs from a few different places,

including the manufacturer and your carrier.

But there's also sites like Gazelle or Best Buy.

They often have cheaper prices on these.

All right, Best Buy's website is a little confusing

in trying to find refurbs,

but if you scroll all the way down

to the bottom where it says buying options,

that's where you'll see them.

Now you can open-box online, it's a little more expensive,

or if you got into the store, they have cheaper options.

But it's probably because

they want you to actually look at it

and know what you're getting before you leave the store.

So gazelle.com has certified pre-owns as well,

here's an S9+, 64 gig, through Verizon for $639.

That's cheaper than Best Buy,

but it's still not as cheap as Swappa or eBay was.

So buying a refurbished device is definitely the safest

way to buy a used devices.

But, for me, I'd rather have the cheaper price

and take the risk.

So Swappa is the most appealing to me.

The price was the lowest and although it doesn't come

with a guarantee, the seller seems like he's sold things

on here before and he has really good reviews.

And I feel good about it.

So I'm gonna go with Swappa for this one.

And I'm gonna waive that whole guarantee

so if something goes wrong, I guess it's on me.

But what I will use Gazelle for is selling my old phone.

It's not in great condition,

but I definitely want it recycled properly

and I no longer need.

So you can go on their website, enter some info,

if it has scratches, if it turns on at all,

and then they'll offer you a price.

They're gonna give me 10 bucks for this thing

and free shipping, so I guess that means lunch on Gazelle?

(soft music)

All right, so sound off in the comments of your favorite way

to buy and sell devices.

And who's got the oldest phone out there?

Anyone got me beat?

We'll see you next time.
