‐------------------------
For high net worth individuals who wish to do charitable stuff:
I personally do think helping something "bigger than yourself" is important in life, it gives us both meaning and and joy in life - something I maybe value higher than anything else.
At the same time, I myself donate absolutely zero dollars towards charities. Instead, all my money and other resources go towards making this project and other stuff I am working on, grow further. (Learn Beach Volleyball Fast is "phase 1" in my 3 phase life mission.)
Is it not a contradiction if I say that I value charitable stuff, but at the same time donate $0 to charity myself?
Here's the thing - because I myself know my project plans (for this project as well as phase 2 and phase 3 that I will spend the rest of my life towards creating), I am actually crazy enough to believe that my projects will help us create a better world for all of us, with higher efficiency than - you guessed it, actual charities.
If (!) I am correct in this belief, this would mean that any money/time/resource that I donated to charity rather than invest into my own project, this would actually lead to a negative charitable effect in the long run. Therefore, with knowing and believing in my plans, and valuing charitable motivations at the same time - it becomes my absolute duty to not donate anything, to anything else than my own project.. Even more so considering the resource hardships/losses that I have gone through in the last 2 years.
Now, I have realized that also other people value "making the world a better place", and that some do this by donating/investing money to causes they believe in. Maybe this is you.
Since I have at the very least convinced myself that my resources are better spent on this project rather than on some charity (even from the perspective of "making the world a better place"), I realized that if more people understood my plan, they might actually end up in the same conclusion as me.. And want to put their money towards the growth of my projects rather than where the money is going right now.
The problem is that almost nobody in the world except me, knows my plans yet. So it is no wonder nobody has done a charitable donation yet. But maybe, just maybe, this could change.
No strings attached donations, "security donations" that I will pay back once my projects and the world situation have stabilized a bit more, prepayment "donations" for future services (like the Patreon campaign is), as well as "startup investments" where we would figure out a financial benefit for you if things go well in the long run, could all be interesting options for me.
So if you believe I could be right when I say I believe my projects are more charitable than a charity, and you could be interested in potentially investing/donating a bit of a bigger sum (donating more than 500 USD or investing more than 10,000 USD) - then let me propose something:
Let's jump on a call. I'll explain my goals, plans and strategies and why they will help the world more than other charitable projects. I'll answer all your questions. Maybe we'll talk some beach volleyball afterwards if you want.
Email me at alex@learnbeachvolleyballfast.com if this is you.

Terrible news man. Keep your head above water and just know that you've done awesome things for my game and you will continue to for more people!
Thanks man! That helps to hear! I'm gonna take this and make it make me even stronger.
Sorry to hear about this man! But please keep you head up and stay positive. Not every journey or surf session is smooth but you gotta keep getting back out there. You have a fan here from Arizona rooting for you and love your content!! 🏐
Yess! Thank you! Some degree of covid restrictions that effect my business negatively have so far continued about 22 months longer than I thought they would, and with this burglary on top of that this just became an extraordinarily rough surf session haha, but I do believe I will come out of all of this stronger than ever. Just takes more time to get to the other side the bigger the damage is..!
That sucks! Hope you can get back on your feet soon
Thank you! Yes I hope so too! :)
Shit, that sucks man! Im sure insurance will cover most of it tho since it was stolen. But still hard to go through..
Hope the best and i know you will sort it out and come back stronger, take all the time you need!
Yeah.. I hope insurance will cover most of the stuff, what they can't cover is payment for all the damn hours that goes into fixing this rather than making videos for you guys.. But it is what it is, there's probably some lesson in this too that will help me in the long run! 💪
Thanks for understanding, the damage would just get even worse if on top of it all you guys would start thinking that it seems like I don't want this project after all since I am not making videos..
Damn sorry to hear this, but it doesnt matter how long "break" you take, we will always be here! keep fighting
Thankss! Yess, I'll keep punching my way through it. It seems like "the universe" is rewarding me for that decision, I last night recorded a monumentally amazing podcast episode with Kent Steffes, can't wait to release it. Good things are coming! 💪💪🙏
Really sorry ....happened also to me years ago...I perfectly know how you feel..big hug buddy
Yeah damn.. My phone got stolen about 1.5 years ago, it was a very similar feeling. But I'll get over it. Thanks a lot!
Man, so sorry to hear! Keep it up! Just suffer from a shoulder injury and have to stop playing so I share your pain in a way. Your content is great and very different from all the other stuff in sense of its deep reflection and alternative approach to this great sport we all love so much! All the best from Germany!
Thanks!
I was more or less out from playing proper full on games for 1-1.5 years because of a shoulder injury so I sort of know what it is like. Wish I had recorded a podcast episode about injury psychology and dealing with those periods of ones career that I have planned to record but haven't gotten to yet. Anyway, one thing at a time. Hope you will be able to get something good out of this period anyway, and thank you, it really helps hearing this!
Sorry to hear about that Bro...keep doing your thing...it's gonna be bigger and better 🙏 👍
Yess! Gonna take this and try to use it as some extra rocket fuel. 💪
Sorry that for the computer and equipment lost. I can't imagine feeling violated like that and losing all of that hard work. However, just for the future whether it's related to this incident or not it might be worth considering and ssd thumbdrive and many have enormous amount of room for a relatively low cost and you can use a password code so this incident will not repeat itself at least to the same extent as this one. Just hate to see that hard work go to waste. I would have agreed with you on the will you lose people that follow you had it been a few months or even a year. However, you have built up a much larger audience then you know so I would not be concerned with it. People know the quality of work you do and like your personality and what you teach. You have your fans and did a great job building up your followers. Hang in there I am sure it's very hard but both myself and other Bostonians are hoping for the best for you .
Thank you so so much. Yes, I will look into backup possibilities a bit more, but I do have 2 huge harddrives that I dump everything onto every 6-12 months, and store them in physically different places just in case one of them would get stolen or one of the buildings burn down (I have a friend who had video footage from 15 years of his fishing career that was going to become a huge movie disappear when his house burnt down.. he is a world famous flyfisher and moviemaker.. trying to learn from his mistake.) i think in the end i probably didn't lose too too much video footage that would need to be re-recorded, but it will take some time to get all new equipment and everything installed and finding the backups and organizing everything.
Regarding the audience, this is what I am hoping. I have been trying to stay "true and honest and careful about what I teachand say" throughout this whole project, and I hope people will recognize this and appreciate it. Not necessarily the strategy that builds an audience the quickest way, but if I actually manage to create real impact in peoples lives and beach volleyball careers, that rends to stick in the memory.. Or at least it has for me. I still perk my ears when the people I have learned the most from online do something new, even if I sometimes haven't heard from them in years..
Sorry to hear that :-(. Have you tried to take a look at local pawnshops, second hand good shops etc? Often these thefts are done by some junkie who need to sell it right away.. Fingers crossed you can continue with your great content as soon as possible!
Yep, 99% sure it was a drug addict who did it. Have been looking a bit on the internet, actually not sure if Oslo has pawn-shops where whoever goves in the stuff receives money, I should check that up!
@@LearnBeachVolleyballFast Good luck man!
I’m sorry to hear about it,take as much time as u need until ur ready but on the bright side, U weren’t attacked when the robber was in, u could have been hurt really bad or could have been killed And u might be able to get better equipment. Sorry for the long comment hope you find success and bounce back 100x better
Yes good points, thank you. I kept telling myself this weekend it is good that no bodily physical harm has happened. And computer+camera have been next on my list of upgrades I should do anyway, now it just happened a bit faster than I thought but in the long run it could even be a good thing..!
I'm so sorry. It's crazy how your plans can change in just a few seconds. I would love to stay updated about your current situation. Do you post it on Instagram or here? Thank you for your persistence
Haha yeah really.. In the big picture nothing has changed, but short term my work definitely changed from content production to damage reduction and logistics.. Sucks that it happened in the middle of the summer which is the best time to release new content, and that the covid pandemic also put me into damage reduction&logistics rather than content creation, but not much I can do about it I guess.
Haha regarding updates I am not sure, I update a bit on Instagram here and there, but the big important updates I post here on RUclips actually. When even bigger and even more important updates will come, the email list subscribers will be the ones hearing about it first! :)
Oh, I totally get you. I hate this stupid situation but there is a first time for everything I guess :( Next time you'll know better.
One thing I wonder, if you don't mind exposing: Do you still do carpentry or are you a full-time coach right now? I'm just curious because I thought full-time coaches work the same amount of hours throughout the whole year (maybe a little more during in the summer season). As you said, you're even more fed up with this situation because it's the middle of summer so I was wondering why. But I understand if this is too personal to share.
@@danielmaldonado1646 Yeah, we learn from everything I guess! :)
Good question. So the coaching gig I had before the pandemic, and this summer is in Oslo for the club here, but the contact is summertime only. There are probably opportunities to coach year around somewhere else, but so far I haven't found anything that is both legal (in terms of work permits etc) and something I'd like to do, so I have ended up with all sorts of hybrid solutions. I do carpentry from time to time when I need money, but this is also kinda counterproductive for this project because it both eats up my time and energy plus makes my body stiff and sluggish, which is the opposite I need it to be for volleyball, flexible/mobile and energetic. So there are ways to get money relatively quickly but they are usually quite counterproductive for the goals of this project. Anyway, the solution I've been aiming for is to live with minimal living costs over the winters and focus on content creation instead, do coaching in the summers and try to make this work with as little carpentry as possible until this project is in a better state. Covid has put trouble both towards living cheaply in the winters as well as job security in the summers so it's been a difficult time with a lot of uncertainty added to my plans that were already a big undertaking in themselves... Anyway, I think one day all of this hard work will pay off. :)
@@LearnBeachVolleyballFastOh, okay makes sense. I'm sure the project will grow soon and you'll have more time and energy making this amazing content :) I mean my whole beachcommunity knows about you even if it wasn't my intention to make adds 😂 I just shared a few tips here and there and they're like: "who told you this?" And boom another curious mind is on the way.
@@danielmaldonado1646 Hahaha that's amazing! Never thought of that kind of word of mouth, but that makes perfect sense! 😅😅 Yess, the more I get around to making the really high quality videos that will "wow" people for years and years, the more things will grow I think. That is probably my best strategy for growth. I saw your email by the way, I'll get back to you soon! (Last super hectic workweek of the summer upcoming..) Where do you live?
Sorry about your computer and everything else which was stolen, I hope you have some sort of renters/home insurance in your country which can assist with that.
Yess, I hope I get some money back for the stuff that disappeared.. Maybe biggest loss is still the data and all of the work it will take to have a new setup that works as well as the old one, but it is what it is I guess. As long as people out there understand I'm not quitting even if I once again go a bit silent for a bit.
@@LearnBeachVolleyballFast I hope so. I realize not everyone wants as in depth knowledge but for those that do, your channel is phenomenal!
@@Itstime1231 Thanks, yess I agree! I believe it's about 5% of the players worldwide that connect with my delivery type, the small part of people that realize it is smarter in the long term to think about something a few minutes more in the start, rather than keep repeating the same mistake year after year because one didn't have patience enough to listen/think just a little bit more in the beginning! :)
Hug for you
Any insurance helping you out?
Not sure about insurance yet, didn't have time to deal with them yet, police report had to happen first. So we will see, should know more next week I hope..!
@@LearnBeachVolleyballFast ok fingers crossed. Hopefully the 5k subscribers actually tell the insurance that you had to have some hardware to get there...
@@fredDeclerck Haha yes.. Not sure at all, we will see. If I am lucky they will compensate me a bit for the physical stuff that is gone, but the big loss is really all the time it will take to get back on track I believe.. Especially if there was any important video content that was not backed up, which I am not sure of yet. We will see.
