Good morning,
About a decade ago, there was a television show called "Going Deep with David Rees" which concentrated on a single topic for a full episode.
At first glance, the subjects David Rees covered didn't feel like they warranted a deep dive, such as how to tie a shoe, make ice, open a door, pet a dog, or dig a hole.
If you know me well, you'd correctly guess that this show would be right up my alley!
In addition to being charming and filled with facts, the show revealed unexpected nuggets of wisdom when talking about the most mundane activities.
The episode on how to use a dishwasher changed my life—and I'm not joking.
The best way to load a dishwasher can be a combative issue. Everyone believes that their method is superior, and many people are willing to evangelize their approach.
When the show explored how best to load a dishwasher, and particularly loading someone else's dishwasher, there was
much discussion about whose system should be followed.
That is when David said the thing that changed my life. He said, "Help is only help when it is offered in the manner in which it is asked."
What this means is when someone asks us to
help, we are only being helpful if we are doing what we are asked to do AND in the way we are asked to do it.
I am sure you know what it is like when someone is "helping" you out, but are actually making it harder for you because they aren't really helping when they do their version of helpful.
This idea changed my life!
I am the type of person who loves to be helpful and I am also prone to believing that my way is best. After hearing this advice, I now not only hear when someone is asking for my help, I also listen closely to the type of help they are requesting.
When I understand both that they need help and how they need help, I am able to decide if I can or want to help out.
This advice has made me a better friend and a better helper!
So with that being said, I'd be very grateful if you would be willing to help out with the 30-Day Tapping Challenge.
Here are three simple things you can do that will take no more than a few minutes:
1) Click the thumbs up button and leave a comment on the 30-Day Tapping Challenge videos
YouTube promotes videos based on what its algorithm thinks is the most valuable content and audience engagement is one of the primary ways of gauging that value. When you like a video
or leave a comment, you are telling YouTube that tap-along videos are worth sharing with a wider audience.
By clicking the thumbs up and leaving a comment, you are making it more likely that YouTube will share tapping content with others.
Sidenote: I have heard some YouTubers will intentionally say something incorrect or controversial in their videos so that people will set them straight in the comments. This is called "engagement farming" where viewers are tricked into leaving comments. Please only leave a comment if you feel moved to.
2) Subscribe to the Tapping
Q&A YouTube Channel
This is another metric of engagement that YouTube values. You also have the option of turning on notifications so you will know when new videos are uploaded.
The 30-Day Tapping Challenge is unique in that I
let you know when the daily videos go live. I post videos all the time that I don't send emails about. In addition to subscribing, you can also turn on notifications so you won't miss those.
Subscribing looks like this:
