So, good morning, good morning, good morning, Prosper Leader members, hello, hello, welcome
to each and every one of you.
And here we are, it's March, and we're coming to the end of the first quarter.
So it's a good time to make a final sprint to finish strong.
So I'm going to share, I'm going to open with prayer, I'm going to share some thoughts
that are on my mind.
And in the meantime, be formulating your wins, if you want to share those, that cements them
by the way.
It's so powerful when you share wins, everybody wins.
I love the saying, and I think it's so true for this group, that the tide that rises raises
all ships, right?
So as each one of us rise, and of course this month, starting the 17th, 17th to the 22nd,
doing a very, very powerful, very practical series called Rooted to Rise, Rooted to Rise.
And so it's perfect when we're talking about rising, yeah?
So the tide that rises, I'm just letting people in, that's why I'm distracted.
So welcome to each one of you guys coming in, hello, hello.
So Aubrey said hello to Charla, hello to Karen, oh, I love how she put where she's from, that's
cool if you guys do that, that's nice.
Welcome Tracy, welcome Barbara, Heather, Susan, anyways, great to see all of you.
And as we kick into this final month of the first quarter, so let's start with prayer,
I'm going to share some thoughts, continuing the conversation on Rooted to Rise, and make
sure you're all registered for that, it's going to be very profound.
As we continue that conversation, and also have your questions, your comments, your wins,
if you have a question, probably other people, ask your question from a space of love, ask
your question in a way that you think it's going to help all your sisters, all your prosper
sisters, that's a great way to ask a question, okay?
Share your wins in a way that encourages all your prosper sisters, okay?
All right, let's start with prayer, Father, I give thanks for this time, I give thanks
for these prosper leaders, those that are here present, and those who will watch the
recording, we miss you, those of you watching by the recording, and I love this, Lord, this
time together, and I ask that you just fill and permeate our minds, our hearts, this space,
this conversation, let it be fueled with power from on high.
Lord, I pray you energize every single prosper sister, energize them with might in their
inner being, Lord, that they can not only know experientially and practically how great
is your love, how high, how deep, how wide is your love, but also that they're empowered
to fully break free from the lies that have held them plain small, and boldly and confidently
step forward into all that you've put in their heart, we just thank you, Lord, we just invite
you to speak through our mouths, and may the meditations of our heart, the words of our
mouth be pleasing in your sight, we ask in Jesus' name, amen.
You guys are my first call, and my voice gets really raspy in the morning, so you like my
sexy voice, what do you think?
All right, so be thinking about, oh, I got to let Linda in, she was sitting over there,
and oh, Susan coming back in, okay, missed you guys while I was praying, I didn't see
you in the waiting room, but we were praying, so welcome, welcome, Linda, let me make you
co-host, that way not everybody gets missed when I get distracted, okay, all right, so
be thinking, Office Hours is about your questions, you showing us, and your wins, you're asking the
questions from the perspective that edify everyone, you're sharing the wins from the perspective that
edify.
by everyone, okay?
And you're here to inspire.
So I wanna spend a few minutes sharing some inspiration
and then we can talk about that
or we can talk about whatever's on your mind.
This is your call, okay?
I'm here.
And down in the reactions, in the Zoom reactions,
you can raise your hand.
That lets me know you got something to say.
It'll put you in the order as you raise your hand
and that lets me kind of go in and grab you, okay?
So I had an experience this week as I was coaching
and this is where coaching is so powerful,
individual coaching.
I had an experience coaching a client
who has been a client for a minute, okay?
And there was just a lot happening,
you know, justified,
but the truth is there was a lot happening in her life
and she never quite anchored in yet
into the action of really building her business, okay?
And so there was a lot of kind of what I call
gas and breaks where you get a sore neck, you know?
You go forward, go forward.
I don't know if any of you ever do that,
but there was a lot of that.
And we really, in the coaching over the last few times,
I've done some very important work
and I see the incredible fruit and it's around clarity.
And it's around clarity.
So many of you are not taking massive action
for a couple of reasons.
It's either that you don't have clarity,
so you're not exactly sure what to do.
And this is where coaching becomes really important.
So you're not exactly sure what to do.
So you're trying this and you're juggling this
and you're playing with this
and you're really not getting any traction, okay?
Or you're not taking action consistently
and you get the effect that I demonstrated.
So it's either a clarity issue or a consistency issue
or a combination of those.
So I had her do some exercises for clarity
and the turnaround was really incredible, okay?
And the first exercise I had her do
is let's get really real
because one of her income sources was starting to dry up
and comfort is the enemy of success.
Most people live in a place
I call comfortably uncomfortable.
In other words, they really would like more
and they have dreams and desires
and yet they're not going hungry at night
and they have a roof over their head.
And we have more, especially in these countries,
those of you that are here in America and Canada,
we have more than the majority of the world.
Most of you are not sleeping on a dirt floor
afraid of getting malaria tomorrow
and eating dirt to help with hunger pains, right?
So we're in a place that is for the most part safe
and we get comfortably uncomfortable.
I don't know if any of you can relate,
but it means we're comfortable enough
that we don't take the uncomfortable actions
of putting ourselves out there, of showing up,
of making a sale, of being bold in making a sale.
And so we stay in this comfortably uncomfortable.
Put in the chat if I'm talking to anybody, okay?
Am I talking to anybody?
Do we have any comfortably uncomfortable people, right?
You're not starving, okay?
And so there's clarity.
So I had her do the first thing is, okay,
so she's starting to get a little more uncomfortable
because some of the income is drying up, okay.
We're gonna see more and more of this as time goes on.
So I had her get clarity
to absolutely write down her personal expenses, okay?
All right, Barbara says,
I was before my breakthrough intensive.
Yeah, that's a good way to get into motion, absolutely.
Okay, okay, love your comments, truth spoken.
So had her write down.
and I don't know if you have this kind of clarity.
If you don't, I encourage you to do what my client did.
It was powerful, okay?
So the first thing is write down her personal expenses.
What does it cost you to live?
You know, your housing, your utilities, your food,
like what does it cost you realistically?
Go back and note your numbers.
What's it costing you to live each month, okay?
And then what is your business costing you?
Business house expense, okay?
And we talked last week about unnecessary expenses
and cutting those.
How many apps do you have that you're no longer using?
I'm still cutting those.
I'm still pausing those.
Cause there's some, I'm just like you.
I mean, I have, I had StreamYard.
I haven't used StreamYard in over a year
and I don't think I need it anymore, right?
But I don't pay attention.
That's $29 a month that's just going out.
That's over $300 a year.
And I'm finding a lot of those, okay?
So what are your personal expenses?
What are your business expenses?
Add that up and get a solid number
and then add 50% more to that number.
Because you're not just there to break even.
You're there to give, to live.
You've got taxes, to serve, invest.
So minimum, you could be solid and add a hundred percent
but I want to keep it in a range
that's very believable for you.
So minimum, we add 50%.
So you got your personal expenses,
your business expenses plus 50%.
And this is your number that you need to be bringing in
from your business every month.
So in her case, she's in another country.
When she translated it to U.S. dollars,
it ended up being 5,500 USD, okay?
5,500 U.S. dollars.
Okay, and each of you are at different levels
but that's what it was for her, okay?
And her business expenses and her personal expenses.
Okay, now we need to connect the dots.
For many of you, you got dots all over
that are not connected.
We needed to connect the dots, okay?
And so where is that 5,500 going to come from, okay?
Meaning, what are your offerings, okay?
Your irresistible offerings that we create
in the Breakthrough Intensive, okay?
In her case, we had some one-on-ones
and I encouraged her when we looked at the next thing
I'm gonna tell you to also have a group.
So you've got one-to-one and you've got one-to-many
if you guys are coaches and consultants, okay?
There's all kinds of variations.
Some of you are getting funding,
some of you are a nonprofit.
Well, so we adjust this, okay?
But for those of you, the majority I see on the line here
are coaches, consultants, that type of thing, okay?
So we've got this number and then we've got
where's the number going to come from?
Now, we needed to look at the calendar.
What do you have available to be able to serve
those clients that are gonna pay, in this case, the 5,500?
Now hers is really tight.
She's working a job.
Some of you are in that situation.
You've got another job or business
and if you did a pie chart, that's taking the huge chunk
and then if you add eating and sleeping, right?
You've got your spiritual life,
you've got this little tiny sliver
that you need to earn enough in the sliver
to be able to get rid of the job, okay?
So that's the case for some.
When I first started in network marketing in my 20s,
that was my case.
I was working full-time.
I was going to graduate school at night.
I had to use the sliver,
which was in the morning before work,
during my lunch hour and a couple evenings
I wasn't in school.
I had to wisely use that sliver to make enough money,
which I did within two months to fire the job
so I can have more time to really scale
to where I wanted to go.
This is the case with her.
I'm familiar with that situation.
So the reality for her,
she only has Friday nights,
Saturday nights,
Saturdays, Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays.
That's all she has, okay?
And we decided, looking at her schedule, she's got to have a day of rest, creative day, day with God,
spiritual development. So we made that Sunday, that that's not a client day. That's creative,
be with God, all of that. Okay. So then we had to look at, okay, by the time you get off work on
Friday night, you know what? We figured out she could see two clients on Friday night.
In this tough time, she could see two clients. And we figured out on Saturday, she could figure
out three clients. And we better put a group in. Which meant she now had a very realistic,
this is how much I'm committed to earning, 5,500. This is the realistic time I'm committing that I
have. How much do I need per client? In her case, she's got to have a thousand dollars a client.
Okay. Yeah. Some of you say, and this is very true, you have all day and therefore you're not
using your time wisely. And I'll talk about that as well. Okay. So I love that because you don't
have the pressure. And so you lose a part of success, which is a sense of urgency. So not
only are you comfortably uncomfortable, you don't have urgency because you think you have all day,
which means that we've got to condense and shorten the time available. And we've got to put the
pressure on a little bit. Okay. Which I'll talk about. All right. So I love that you're sharing
that. Okay. So, you know, part of that is I condensed my work purposely. I had all week.
I don't have anything. I'm single. I could work seven days a week if I wanted to,
because we're talking about lifestyle too. So I condensed it to three and a half days. That
means I got Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, half day, Saturday, then I'm off half day, Saturday,
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. So what did that do? It forces me to be very effective during
those days. Okay. And it allows me to have what I call a buffer day.
Okay. For things going on in your personal or business life. It allows me to have
CEO creation time when I can be working on my business and on myself, not just in my business.
Okay. So in her case, here's what happened. She originally had like a lot of you,
where we created the top dollar price, where it was a thousand dollars a month.
And then we had a discounted price to get her comfortable. And she came to the realization,
it was like a 50% off for the first few clients to get clients coming in.
We looked at our situations, like you don't have wiggle room at this point to be doing this
negotiating 50% off. So we have to be sure that I helped her step into her full confidence and a
full sales presentation because before those clients are slots. So we realized, Hey, you've
only got room for five clients in your schedule. So you're going to be a lot more picky, which
changes the game. It's like, I've only got five slots. Other than that, you go on the waiting
list. It's not, I'm begging how many clients can I get? It's not a needy place. It's like she came
to the realization when she talks to people, honestly, she can say, I've got five spots
and those spots are a thousand dollars a month. And if that doesn't work in your budget, which I
get it, it's going to work for the right clients. That's why we created the group because the group,
she wants to serve everybody. And the group is not in the same in one-on-one in one hour,
you see one client in the group in one hour, you could be seeing 10 clients, a hundred clients.
So the price can dramatically release and the impact go down in the impact. So
what happened? The clarity in her, this woman is in action. And until those five slots are filled,
that time right now is messaging and marketing. That time is like absolutely bringing in her
dream clients like now. So what I saw is clarity leads to action. That's the first thing I want
to have you look at. Are you clear on your numbers? Are you watching your numbers?
There is a reason that we upgraded the Prosper Daily Planner to every
day having you pay attention to your numbers, okay?
Because we've got your income for the day and your expenses.
Are you tracking every day how much money is coming in and how much is going out?
You need to know your business.
You need to mind your business.
So in order for the income to be there, there has to be sales.
Are you tracking sales?
Do you have sales?
If you don't have sales, my dad used to say without sales, you're not in business.
So if you're not having sales, you're in an expensive hobby.
So what's the number of sales?
If this is zero, it's most likely because the one above that is zero in front of that,
which is the number of calls.
How many people have you gotten on a Zoom or picked up the phone and had a conversation
with?
A conversation that let you listen and create rapport, identify the need and then say, here's
what I recommend and make an offer with conviction, with confidence, with certainty, understanding
that if you are not coaching them, you're not serving them.
We talked about it, the difference between information and transformation.
No transformation happening for them.
So how many calls?
If you're making zero calls, of course you have zero sales, of course you have zero income.
This is no nonsense.
Well, to be making the calls, you have to be having leads.
So how consistent are you right now?
And I will tell you, most people do not have a shortage in leads.
They think they do, but actually what they have is a shortage in action.
Taking care, understanding, following up with the leads that they have, growing their list,
nurturing their list.
So what I want to tell you that things are really changing in this season, like it's
intensifying in the marketplace.
How many of you have felt it?
If you've been around, maybe if you're new, you don't notice it, okay, because you don't
know what to compare it.
I've been in business like now close to 40 years.
I recognize seasons and there's always seasons in business.
There's springs, there's summers and harvest times and there's falls and there's winters.
And so in this season, we must be very focused and very streamlined.
You must streamline your expenses.
You must streamline your effort and energy with focused, consistent action.
I like to think about a couple of verses.
I like to think about Jacob, how he prospered even in a famine.
That tells me he was sowing even in a famine, which we know the story, yes.
And he was understanding that it's God that makes us to prosper.
So he was walking in faith and he was walking in action and even in a famine, he was sowing.
So even in a winter.
So in order to be doing this, we have to look at what we're talking about in this month,
which is being rooted to rise.
I'm telling you what, Linda is so prophetic.
I've put her in charge of naming my masterclasses and launches because they're so ahead of their
time and they're so accurate that at this point, I'm just like, you name them, it's
perfect because every time she just hits it spot on.
And so this one was rooted to rise.
And so scripture talks about being rooted in love, which means with every single client,
you're coming from a place of, of love, of, of truly desiring to see them succeed, truly
desiring to see them prosper, truly desiring to take your gifts, what God has taught you,
your experiences, your understanding, your knowledge, and pour it into them, hold them
accountable, lift them up and see them achieve their goals.
That's coming from being rooted, right?
In love.
The other one talks about that we read last week about being, being rooted and built up,
right?
So we talked in the last call, when you're rooted, three things are happening.
Number one, you're deeply unaffected.
When you're rooted, you're deeply unaffected.
Those words are so powerful.
powerful, when you're rooted, you're unmovable, you're unshakable, you're deeply unaffected
by what? By opinions of others, by conditions, by circumstances. You know, there's been a
lot, some of you that I've even been talking to you, those of you in Texas, those of you
in North Carolina, you know, there's been these tornado, I've got clients with all these
warnings and all that kind of stuff going on. And many of you say, yeah, I'm okay. The trees
are toppled beside me, right? So the trees that are deeply rooted are surviving the storm.
The trees that are not deeply rooted are being uprooted. I want you to think about that about
your life, about your business. First, your life. How rooted in Christ are you?
How rooted in love are you? Okay. And so number one, when you're rooted is you're unmovable,
you're unshakable, you're deeply unaffected by opinions is another one. Okay. So you're
deeply unaffected. Number two, when you're deeply rooted, you're nourished, you're pulling up life
up in your roots. I like to think about that one with the vine and the branches. You're just
pulling the life of God into you. Okay. You're in him, he's in you. So you're unmovable,
you're nourished. You're not coming from a depleted place. You're not coming from a defeated
place. You're not coming from a place of lack. You're not coming from a place of fear and doubt.
Okay. Thank you. So we're deeply unaffected. We're nourished. And number three, we're fruitful.
It's the roots that are determining the fruit. You understand this? Bad roots, bad fruit.
Jesus talked about that all the time. So I want to ask you to consider,
I want to ask you to consider do your actions in this season, which are required to be very focused,
very consistent. Do your actions in this season match your dream? Does it match that number that
you came up with concrete and also bigger picture, the extra 50% the vision? What's the vision for
your family? What's the vision for your future? What are you creating? Okay. So just had to let
some of that passion spill out that's in me. I wrote down those notes earlier. And now let's
open up. Let's talk about it. So yeah, I'm assuming Victoria, the ouch was do your actions
match your dream. So maturity is we've got to come to a place that what we say that we desire,
and what we say that we need to do, and what we're actually doing, that there's congruency,
that there's no longer a gap between how we're showing up and what we say that we need to.
And it needs to intensify. And guys, I haven't arrived, I'm challenging myself,
even as much as I'm doing, I'm like, no, there's higher levels of thinking, there's higher levels
of feeling, there's higher levels of being, and there's higher levels of doing in this season.
Here we are, by the 31st of this month, one quarter of the year is over already. Here we are.
Here we are. Did your actions line up? Are you using the daily planner? Are you tracking? Does
the math math? Does the math math in your business? And if not, schedule a call with me,
we need to get up and moving. Okay, I don't want to leave any woman behind, you know,
the saying no man left behind, I won't leave any woman behind. Let's go together,
together, we're linking arms, let's go. Okay, it's go time. The market's getting intense.
And, you know, I was listening to my coach before this call, and she's got a portfolio of six and
seven figure businesses, she's got an eight figure business. And I'm watching her showing up every
single day for herself making sales, showing up with her team every day. And she says,
she'll tell you straight up, never has the market been like it is.
right now. She'll tell you, you know what? I cruised for many years. I never made a sale.
I didn't show up. My team did it all. My team led their own meetings. And she said, not
in this season. We're in winter. Uh-uh. She's showing up every single day. And I say, wow,
okay. Eight figure business doing that? Need to pay attention. Okay? Does that help you?
Put it in the chat if that helps you. Let's go to you, Brenda. Barbara, I see you've got
your hand up. Barbara, go ahead. Okay. I'm going to be concise and do it in a way that
helps others. I've been thinking about how to say it. So I took some of the...
Good implementation. So linking arms with my Prosper Sisters has been one of the many
great parts of being in this community. I founded a potential investor for Renee. I
support Tracy on her current amazing women's voices speaking up for health. I've supported
Charla. And I just hired Linda. And she's already made so many big changes in my business.
It's a lot. It's amazing. But the story that I want to share is a client. You, Brenda,
encouraged me to show up authentically. And a big part of who I am is my faith. And I was
leaving that out of my business until I saw how you do it. And now it's just like I've broken
free. And I am boldly talking about God all the time, all day, every day. And it's...
I have a client who, when I first, she hired me, she was not open to that discussion at all. So
I used words like light and love. And we just had a huge breakthrough. And it's just really
beautiful. So thank you. Oh, I just love it. I love it. I love it. Yeah, everybody, let's give
Barbara a snap. You know, if we're not showing up authentically, we're really not showing up.
You know, that's the truth. That's the truth. And if faith is as important to most of you as
I believe it is, then it's got to be front and center. Now, here's the difference between faith
that your faith that offends and faith that inspires. Okay. Why do people get upset sharing
faith? Faith that offends comes from I'm better than thou, which is ego. That will always repel.
Or faith that offends comes from a perspective. I'm here to change you. You need to believe as
I believe. Okay. That's the kind of stuff that is religion, which the word religion,
re-legio means back to bondage. Okay. That's the kind that is going to repel. God is love.
Religion that, like the Bible says, is pure and undefiled, right? Is that which is committed to
loving them with God's love, serving them by the power of the Holy Spirit and being committed to
their highest and best. It's praying for them. It's holding them accountable. It's believing
in them. It's being committed to their goals, to their transformation. And it's being genuine
in sharing. You know, when I first started on this walk in Prosper and All Things, I was sharing
my faith in my previous company. And so I've been at it for a minute. And starting 2012, when I
launched Prosper and All Things, and I started with three large events in hotels, in resorts.
And so here I was just bold. God, money, and me was the first one. Like how much more do you
integrate it, right? And I would open those meetings asking permission, which really God
just gave me that idea. And I would say, may I ask permission to show up authentically as me
and share what's worked for me, which I'll tell you up front, I'm coming from a Judeo-Christian
model, from a biblical model. Can I share and be authentically me sharing what's worked for me?
And can we
We allow each other to be authentically who they are.
Can I have your agreement before I start?
And they all said yes.
And from that point on, I could preach straight from the word.
I don't believe it's my job to change another person.
That's God's.
It's my job to live it authentically.
It's my job to pray authentically.
It's my job to bring the word forward.
It's not my job to convict you of your sins
or tell you how to change, in my opinion.
So I love that you're doing that.
You're showing up, and I've got many of you doing that.
And it's a far richer, deeper, more powerful experience.
Heather, I think I see your hand up.
Go ahead.
Yeah, you do.
It's taken me a little bit to speak up here.
I believe, I may be wrong, but I think
I'm probably the only non-coach in here right now.
Oh, there's others.
You're not.
Good.
I'm glad to hear that.
It's just I hear the coaching so much,
and so I try to convert it and relate it,
which is really interesting, because even
serving other people, that is what I'm about.
I'm about helping businesses to grow.
I'm about getting their word and getting them connected to it.
Same concept.
Because you're not working with a business.
You're working with a person in the business,
and the business is a reflection of that person.
So you're still loving that person,
and you're still committed to that person's business success
by doing everything in your power.
In your case, using your gift of writing.
In Linda's case, using her gift of creating.
In Renee's case, using her gift of technology.
So we have a lot of non-coaches.
I don't want you to think about it.
I'm glad to hear that, because that
was going through my head.
Anybody can mess with you like that.
Yeah, and I want to address that for just a second, Heather,
and then if there's more to your question,
you bring up something super important,
which our heads often do.
And that is, when we see other people's success, we say,
oh, they can do that because.
But I can't do that or apply that because.
And I've shared the story with many of you.
When I was a founder of a network marketing company,
I had these meetings that just showed me this so powerfully.
I was in my office, and I had some one-on-ones coming in.
I was a founder of a network marketing corporation,
and distributors were coming in and meeting top distributors.
So the first distributor comes in,
and she was a stay-at-home mom.
And she says, I'm not like Dr. Taylor, who was a dentist.
That was one of the top reps.
I'm not like Dr. Taylor.
I'm a stay-at-home mom.
I don't have clients sitting in my chair.
I can prospect.
I don't have a cabinet full of names I can prospect.
So I don't know that I can really do this.
And so, of course, we worked with her situation
of what she could do and what she did have.
And then it just so happened that Dr. Taylor
was the next one.
This is why it's such a funny story.
Dr. Taylor arrives, and he says, you know,
I'm not like these stay-at-home moms.
I don't have all day to be on the phone and following up.
I don't have the luxury of just bringing this up
with just anyone.
And so it taught me the lesson.
We're always thinking.
Our mind, like you said, is thinking of what we don't have
as opposed to what we do have.
So thank you for bringing that up.
And you're right in the right place.
And we love you.
And we're linking arms with you.
And what you're doing is so important.
Thank you.
Let's go.
What I was going to say is that I
have a tendency, and having all this time, like you said,
you hit on the uncomfortable, bam, that spoke,
and then too much time, that spoke.
The three days, that is good because that's
giving me urgency.
Not only that is it helps me to separate
working for my clients and even marketing for clients
as opposed to my own publication business, which
is Blessings in the Desert with a blog and everything.
But the thing that I've noticed is the packaging.
That's where I've got to get things straight
is to come up with a packaging.
I have a tendency to shortchange myself because the 50% off,
when you talk to me, we're talking about your friend.
I have a tendency to do that, to give people
too much of a discount, and then I'm doing all this work
for nothing, basically.
Yeah, it's more common than not, so I
love that you bring it up.
So I've often said to get what we're talking about,
to have the income and the high paying clients,
whatever forum that's in, we have to have three.
things, we have to have clarity, and we have to have a solid lead generation system, right?
And we have to be able to have a successful sales conversation, which all of you have access.
And I'm going to do the week of Rooted to Rise is going to be very, very practical, not theoretical.
And on the master class, and Linda, I don't know if you could grab the link for Rooted to Rise,
I forgot to do that. The master class on Saturday is going to focus on sales from a rooted place,
okay? So we're going to be hitting on those three things. So in the clarity, Heather,
which is what I do, for those of you that don't know, in a Breakthrough Intensive, especially,
and those of you that have had a Breakthrough Intensive, you might just need, and I think I
need to make an offering, which could be like an intensive review, like maybe just like an hour,
and we go back over your intensive to make sure what we need to change and what's current, okay?
Been thinking about that. Let me know in the chat if that's something important to you. So
part of the clarity is an irresistible offer, which is not only just the right pricing,
it's the compelling irresistible title that focuses on a result, and it's the compelling
subtitle that focuses on who you serve, and it's the compelling description of the results they get
based on your package. So that's what I would be looking at. Okay, Karen, you are up next.
Do you feel complete, Heather? Oh, I do. Is that something that if I get onto the website,
because you know I have access to the membership, is that something that I can find some kind of
training on there to help me, guide me on that? And yes, I do need to schedule a breakthrough with you
because I don't think I've done that one yet. Yeah, that's really the first step. That's
so huge. We get so absolutely clear on your niche, the problems you solve, your irresistible packages,
your value proposition, your messaging, your marketing. No matter where I start with someone,
I typically start with the breakthrough intensive. Okay, I'll go. Okay, yes. All right, Karen,
you are up. I thought I saw your hand. Oh, yeah. No, I definitely can't wait to do a one-on-one,
and I'm so glad to be a part of this group. It came at like the right time because I am just
starting, and I have a bit of the imposter syndrome. This is going to be very funny, Brenda.
You're going to crack up. I sent Brenda a trifle because Women in the Room's soft launch is
happening in a couple of weeks. I'm a graphic designer, so I put together a real estate brochure
with Women in the Room with the mission and everything. Do you know I did my very first
run-through with it? I didn't put my home office. I left myself off of my own brochure. Amazing.
Amazing. Don't we hear this? I was like, are you kidding me? Then I just had a fabulous
conversation right before this meeting for almost an hour with a woman that has 25 years
in the business in recovery, really known, a lot of letters passed her name. I don't have that.
I got a little insecure going in, and she was blown away with the concept. She's like,
this is so needed. The thing is, I'm going to go back to Rooted to Rise, and why this
perfect thing. If I was more rooted in my own confidence and in who I am and my God's purpose,
I'm getting there, but it just was like, oh, I don't want other people's opinions to influence
me or make me lose myself. So good. I love that. I'm looking forward to doing your breakthrough
intensive. I'm going to share a little something that's also a story that I think you'll relate to
and others will. We often look at someone who has a higher level of success, and again, like we
talked about, we compare and say, I'm not that person. I don't know. And we get this idea like,
what do I have to offer? I mean, I'm not them. And so I've already addressed that a few minutes
ago, but I'm going to address it from another way that I saw. And this is true both when I
was in network marketing as a distributor, when I was in network marketing as a founder,
and when I started a coaching business. There are people that relate to you at every level
and that won't relate to those at that higher level. So I remember as a distributor,
in my 20s.
And this is before like computers and all of that.
And so I was doing a newsletter every Sunday,
like I teach you guys only,
it was like printed and stapled and put in the mail, okay?
And when I say I've been at this for 40 years
through a lot of seasons,
I've been at this through a lot of seasons.
So the interesting thing,
this was like network marketing back then, right?
And I got my first check, okay?
And it was like $28, I think if I remember correctly, okay?
And I made a copy,
of course I blanked out the important stuff,
but I made a copy
and that was what the back cover of this fold was, right?
And I used to say,
imagine what that's gonna multiply into.
And then it was $54 and I said the same thing
and it was $800 and it said the same thing
and it was $1,100.
So I was showing this and showing this 2,200,
the easiest time bringing in people
was when I was at those low numbers under 2,000
because everybody could relate,
they could imagine, they could dream
and they wanted to connect with me.
When I hit 5,000 and I can take this across industries,
it's proven true,
when I hit 5,000, it got more difficult,
when I hit 10, fewer and fewer people related
and by the time I hit 15,
people would always be,
well, that's you because of this, because of that,
I couldn't this and that.
So where you are right now is absolutely perfect in Christ,
your experience, your testimony,
your lessons, your humility,
like there's no imposter when we're showing up as us,
we're not trying to be someone else,
we're showing up fully as us
and there's people that are gonna relate so much more
than people at higher levels, does that help you?
Because I've seen this just across the board, awesome.
Okay, do I have any other hands up?
Is this connecting?
So here's what I want you to do if I don't have a hand up,
let me know if I'm missing one.
From what was said, I want you right now to take a minute
because this is about action.
What concept was most important
in that what you learned today?
What concept was most important?
Write it down right now, the idea, okay?
And then from that idea,
what are you going to do differently?
You know, the book of James talks about going in
and looking at ourselves in the mirror
and some, like, I always like to be very dramatic about it,
you know, imagine you spilled something
or you got a booger or something, right?
And you look in the mirror and you go,
oh yeah, I spilled something
or I got a booger or whatever, right?
And then you walk away and you don't do anything.
That's what it's like to get a truth
of something you know that you know that you know
that you must apply and just turning and walking away
and doing the same thing, okay?
So in this group, we're about consistent action,
confident action, rooted action,
love-based action, but it's action.
And we're about measuring, let's be honest,
let's stop playing.
This is where imposter syndrome comes in,
where we don't even look at our numbers.
I'm forcing myself to look at every single number
and hold myself accountable to it.
What action are you going to take as a result, okay?
All right, what action, if you want to share it,
that will make it more concrete.
If you want us praying and holding you accountable,
that'll make it more concrete.
If you schedule a call with me, that's even more concrete
because I will hold you accountable, okay?
And so what was your biggest takeaway
and what are you going to do differently?
What are you gonna do differently, okay?
Know your numbers, work the plan from there.
The action I'm taking is to keep that number
in front of me, good.
And remember, it's progress, not perfection.
Your number might be closer to the zero
than it is to the 5,000, it's okay.
We all start somewhere, but where are you?
And is tomorrow $10 instead of zero?
Is tomorrow $100 instead of zero?
Is next week $1,000?
Like, it's progress.
Non-perfection is not about beating yourself up.
That's counterproductive.
OK, so, Karen, looking at the numbers.
So good. So good.
Ordered your planner.
Good action. Way to take action now.
I think most of you have the planner.
What I want to know is who's using it every day.
Who's using it every day now, Barbara, I mean, open hers.
Hers looks like a novel.
I mean, she's an inspiration. Hold it up.
Hold it up close. You see all that writing?
Barbara's serious about hers.
Look at that. OK, yeah,
Linda, that's got to make you feel good as you help develop that.
Linda, you're changing lives.
You're using your gifts and you're changing lives.
And I want to acknowledge you.
You made this beautiful thing.
OK, I mean, yes, it was my experience
and knowledge, but it's your gifts that brought this to life.
So I want to honor you. Thank you.
You're changing lives.
OK, all right.
Let's see urgency and numbers getting more consistent with the planner.
Good. It's progress, not perfection.
Just opening it and putting one checkmark in it is better than nothing,
opening it and doing the top part, the spiritual part is better than nothing,
opening it and starting to be very focused and intentional in 20 minute chunks.
Right. OK.
Urgency and numbers get clarity and goal and reverse engineer.
Yes, we have to.
We have to. I love that.
OK, all right, ladies, I pray this has been helpful for you.
Schedule the rooted to rise schedule appointments with me.
You all can do that in the coaching portal.
You just go underneath your name.
There's a little plus you schedule if you have any trouble.
Most of you know how to reach me and text me.
If you haven't done a breakthrough intensive, we need to do that.
If you if it's been a while, then we may need to do an audit.
Let's look at what's changed in you, in your business.
OK, and we can schedule an audit.
OK, and let me just see here before I've got to run.
OK, these things come to mind,
putting my planner to work and being more consistent and using it.
Yes. Using three days each week to focus on my business.
Good. Yeah.
Even if I don't have clients, yeah, that's how you get clients.
So the three days are used for marketing and messaging and follow up.
You realize it takes eight to 12 follow ups.
So some of you have made the first contact.
But how many of you made more than five follow ups?
You're leaving you're leaving that business
to the people that are doing more follow ups.
OK, so I love that.
OK, lead generation.
OK, I love that.
All right.
It looks like the note taker is there.
If you guys want that summary, you can grab that.
Of course, I'll put the recording.
OK, lots of love.
I'm so excited for you.
Let's really pay attention from a rooted place.
Let's rise together right here, right now, this March.
Let's finish this first quarter with some powerful testimonies.
Powerful.
Thank you for sharing the testimonies today.
OK, thank you for sharing the wins.
Love you all. We'll see you next time.
Bye.
