I guess I was reading and I wasn't listening to it, 207 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:18.760 but he was writing messages to himself on the wall and for his counterpart to follow 208 00:20:18.760 --> 00:20:26.560 him to find those messages and be able to find the new cheese if he chose to leave his 209 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:34.880 safety of cheese station C. And so, you know, in the 67 day year, she talks a lot about 210 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:41.360 visualizing your success and having the Post-it notes and accumulating Post-it notes over time 211 00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:47.760 and having your affirmations that you say to yourself every day. But this was in the 90s was 212 00:20:47.760 --> 00:20:54.320 when this was originally published. And it's so short, but it captures a lot of those concepts 213 00:20:54.320 --> 00:21:03.440 that I think others are repeating and popularizing on social media nowadays. And maybe this was like 214 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:09.280 one of the first books that really brought it up. And I actually read it when I used to work at 215 00:21:09.280 --> 00:21:14.480 this store in the mall called Successories and they have these motivational prints that 216 00:21:15.040 --> 00:21:20.560 businesses would hang on the wall. And it was a pretty boring job, but they had this book there 217 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:24.240 and I read it whenever I worked there. That's cool. 218 00:21:27.520 --> 00:21:29.920 That's great for boring jobs. We all have. 219 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:38.320 Carrie, do you want to go next? Sure. So I will say like the theme of 220 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:47.520 like savoring the journey has definitely been a theme. I feel like like I think something I 221 00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:54.640 woke up this morning and it was like one of the first things I saw somebody had shared about 222 00:21:54.640 --> 00:22:03.120 slowing down and savoring the journey. And I think even like at church right now, we're doing like 223 00:22:03.120 --> 00:22:08.000 the book, we're doing the story of David and Goliath at church. Like that seems to be the 224 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:14.400 message. It's like a four or five week series. And it's like, you know, Goliath is like this huge 225 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:19.680 mountain. So just whatever your Goliath is, it's whatever your Goliath is. It's not obviously a 226 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:26.160 real life giant, but whatever it is, work, personal relationship, anything. But your God has to be 227 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:32.480 greater. And it's kind of like with a business, right? What hurdle is in front of you? That's 228 00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:38.640 your Goliath that keeps you stuck or in fear. But David didn't look at it that way. David, 229 00:22:39.600 --> 00:22:45.520 you know, his God was bigger than any Goliath. So it's just, yeah, it's all it's been in my face. 230 00:22:45.520 --> 00:22:49.040 Like, I feel like every day the message from this book has been in my face and just 231 00:22:49.840 --> 00:22:52.720 pushing things forward. That's awesome. 232 00:22:54.960 --> 00:23:01.360 I think for me, the like, right when I started to listen to it again, it's like all flows together. 233 00:23:01.360 --> 00:23:04.320 So like, I don't know, was this part of last week's conversation or this week, but 234 00:23:05.280 --> 00:23:11.760 the quote that stood out to me from the book was how it's like reflecting. And he says, 235 00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:18.800 he or she says, it is safer to search in the maze than remain in the cheeseless situation. 236 00:23:19.760 --> 00:23:27.040 And that really struck me. And because in a way that I was kind of like giving myself kudos, 237 00:23:27.040 --> 00:23:34.160 because there's a lot of things that I may, and we may resist because we don't really want to do 238 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:40.320 or want to be there. But to also celebrate, like when you do it anyways, and like you acknowledge, 239 00:23:40.320 --> 00:23:44.960 like, all right, I don't want to be in a cheeseless situation. So that means I'm taking 240 00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.760 this in this action. And they may not feel great. And I may not be super excited about 241 00:23:50.560 --> 00:23:56.080 what I'm doing it. And I just like it was a moment of realizing 242 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:06.720 that I am able to identify like a cheeseless situation. And I am able to think of, you know, 243 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:13.120 my brain can strategize in terms of like, okay, what action is this calling for this that I'm 244 00:24:13.120 --> 00:24:19.680 not in a cheeseless situation, and then having the courage to do so. So but as much as like, 245 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:26.320 um, it sucks. I it was just like a good reminder of like, I do know how to do this. 246 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:33.200 I have this skill. And I'm in a process of where I'm exercising this skill again. 247 00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:40.400 And yes, I am in a tank top. I can be in a tank top year round, pretty much. 248 00:24:40.560 --> 00:24:44.560 Carrie. Pretty much. 249 00:24:49.520 --> 00:24:51.120 Anybody else have anything they want to share? 250 00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:59.760 I just wanted to share also to Carrie's point about the journey, you know, the 251 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.280 beginning of the book with like scurry and sniff, 252 00:25:03.280 --> 00:25:06.920 they seem to like find cheese station and very quickly, 253 00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.640 you know, they iterated to a new solution quickly. 254 00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:15.640 And the journey came for, 255 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:17.000 I guess it was Hall, 256 00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:22.000 who it took him like a lot of time, it seemed to iterate. 257 00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.480 And he even kind of went backwards to go forwards again, 258 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:27.160 and then kind of like took another step back 259 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.800 and then went further forward into the maze. 260 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.240 And had to kind of continuously reassure himself 261 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:35.120 that this is really what he wants to do. 262 00:25:35.120 --> 00:25:39.040 And he is still like on the right path. 263 00:25:39.040 --> 00:25:43.320 And I feel like that is pretty symbolic 264 00:25:43.320 --> 00:25:47.000 because there are times when we're all like sniffing scurry, 265 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:50.080 it's like super easy for us to go on to the next thing. 266 00:25:50.080 --> 00:25:55.080 And then there are other times when that journey 267 00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.960 does feel like a maze that you're backtracking 268 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.800 and things aren't going in a very linear path 269 00:26:00.800 --> 00:26:02.960 from C to N quickly. 270 00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:06.840 It feels like you're fighting for every step 271 00:26:06.840 --> 00:26:09.480 and having to like constantly put those messages 272 00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:12.040 in front of yourself to keep going. 273 00:26:12.040 --> 00:26:14.880 And I had like, you know, 274 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.200 some just personal experience in the last week 275 00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:22.200 of it was like fighting for what I wanted. 276 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:24.760 And I feel like the book was pretty timely 277 00:26:24.760 --> 00:26:26.080 for us to read it. 278 00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:29.520 That's awesome. 279 00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:36.560 I want to piggyback both on what Gabby and Christy said 280 00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:40.520 about Gabby, you were saying how, 281 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:46.960 like it's a choice to stay in a cheeseless situation. 282 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:52.160 And none of us really, like if you say it for me, 283 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:53.680 if I say it out loud, 284 00:26:54.840 --> 00:26:57.680 I don't want to be in a cheeseless situation, 285 00:26:58.360 --> 00:27:02.800 but if I'm too scared to get out of the cheeseless 286 00:27:02.800 --> 00:27:06.680 situation, and then like, I thought it was, 287 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:09.320 I thought it was brilliant from the author 288 00:27:09.320 --> 00:27:14.040 to have two mice and two little people. 289 00:27:14.040 --> 00:27:17.600 And that like, it would just very clear 290 00:27:17.600 --> 00:27:21.760 that even though people are smarter than mice, 291 00:27:21.760 --> 00:27:25.800 well, maybe they aren't in all cases. 292 00:27:25.800 --> 00:27:30.800 And how many times are we overanalyzing to the extreme 293 00:27:31.280 --> 00:27:34.400 instead of just, I don't know, 294 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:36.560 let's just go for a walk and sniff it out, 295 00:27:36.560 --> 00:27:40.080 like stupid mice, because they're not that dumb 296 00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:42.240 and they knew how to get their cheese 297 00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:45.600 before the scared little person. 298 00:27:45.600 --> 00:27:47.520 And then the lost little person 299 00:27:47.520 --> 00:27:49.680 who's overthinking everything. 300 00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.440 And the mice were probably like, 301 00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.600 duh, what like took you so long to get here? 302 00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:59.960 And so I'm trying to my brain to think about, 303 00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:04.120 okay, it's okay to be a dumb mouse. 304 00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:08.200 Maybe I'm making this way more difficult on myself 305 00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:10.680 than it really needs to be. 306 00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:13.880 And I'm just, I'm my own, 307 00:28:15.080 --> 00:28:17.120 like I've said this to myself 308 00:28:18.280 --> 00:28:21.000 on more than one occasion in the past six months, 309 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.960 like what is my biggest stumbling block? 310 00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:27.440 And it's me and it's my mindset. 311 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:30.320 And it's just a mindset. 312 00:28:30.320 --> 00:28:32.120 It's not even reality. 313 00:28:32.120 --> 00:28:35.320 It's just thoughts that are getting in my way. 314 00:28:36.280 --> 00:28:39.240 And the mice aren't thinking, 315 00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:42.520 they're just using their instincts. 316 00:28:42.520 --> 00:28:46.200 So why are we making this so difficult? 317 00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:50.040 What's funny is that we have, we have instincts. 318 00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:52.880 Like we do, we all have them. 319 00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:54.520 There's probably a situation that comes up 320 00:28:54.520 --> 00:28:55.360 and we have the thought 321 00:28:55.360 --> 00:28:58.600 and then immediately additional thoughts 322 00:28:58.600 --> 00:28:59.920 or beliefs follow it. 323 00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:02.480 And then that like deters us from instincts. 324 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:05.720 That made me think of one of the things I liked 325 00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:08.240 and he says in the book is when you change 326 00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:10.960 what you believe, you change what you do. 327 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:13.040 And then I kind of was thinking like almost 328 00:29:13.040 --> 00:29:14.640 in reverse engineering that I was like, 329 00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:16.040 okay, if you're doing things, 330 00:29:16.040 --> 00:29:19.360 like we're all doing things, right? 331 00:29:19.360 --> 00:29:21.400 And they're not working. 332 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:25.080 And they're not having the effect that we want, 333 00:29:26.360 --> 00:29:29.760 then why not start, 334 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:34.240 how did I think of this? 335 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:35.560 I forgot, it was like, 336 00:29:35.560 --> 00:29:38.280 it was kind of like a reverse process. 337 00:29:38.280 --> 00:29:41.160 It was like, a lot of times we think about changing 338 00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:43.320 what you believe and change what you do. 339 00:29:43.320 --> 00:29:45.680 Well, how about starting to think about what am I doing 340 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.920 that's not working or not having the effect that I want? 341 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:51.480 And then kind of working backwards of like, 342 00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:53.120 okay, well then I could do this 343 00:29:53.120 --> 00:29:55.360 and then that can change my belief also. 344 00:29:56.560 --> 00:29:59.640 And instead, and it's another, 345 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.760 way of like looking at what's happening around you and identifying whether it's 346 00:30:03.760 --> 00:30:09.480 working or not and then choosing to go into action about it. But anyways, I also 347 00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:13.000 for some reason, this was kind of funny guys, I don't know if I wasn't paying 348 00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:16.080 attention to this the first time I was listening to it, but I was like, Smith and 349 00:30:16.080 --> 00:30:19.220 Scurry, I'm like, what do they do? I was like, him and Haw have their 350 00:30:19.220 --> 00:30:22.080 personalities. I was like, what's different about Smith and Scurry? And then he said 351 00:30:22.080 --> 00:30:27.200 it was like, oh, Smith like sniffs out the situation and Scurry like moves into 352 00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:36.360 action. I was just laughing at myself that it took me the whole book. But 353 00:30:36.360 --> 00:30:40.040 anyway, anything else from anybody? 354 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:50.000 Well, I'd love to add on as somebody who's obsessed with mindset and the way 355 00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:56.080 that our brains function. You know, I think a lot of this does come down to 356 00:30:56.120 --> 00:31:04.560 just our fear, our fear of the unknown. Like it's we cannot see the future. The 357 00:31:04.560 --> 00:31:10.960 only way to see it is to do it. There is literally no other way. And so anxiety 358 00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:17.800 and worry, a lot of it stems from your brain creating a scenario in the future 359 00:31:18.080 --> 00:31:24.640 of what said thing is actually going to look like. And then it keeps us stuck 360 00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:29.000 instead of actually just going like you mentioned, Gabby, and like the book talks 361 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:33.520 about in the maze, like just actually going out and doing it, and then finding 362 00:31:33.560 --> 00:31:41.000 out. And what really stuck out to me was, it's a thought. So our thoughts are 363 00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:44.440 connected to our emotions, which are connected to our beliefs, right? And 364 00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:48.200 that's what Shannon Irvine talks about. That's like the 67 year book that 365 00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:52.520 Christy mentioned, we all read that and went through that at one point in 366 00:31:52.520 --> 00:31:59.120 Mindset Monday. And our thoughts, Mar, you had a good question, too, of like, 367 00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:03.280 it's me like, why? And it's like, well, because our brains are made to keep us 368 00:32:03.280 --> 00:32:08.160 safe. And so when when you have taken a step into courage, you have taken a step 369 00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:14.200 into creating something that is different, and it didn't work. Boom, 370 00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:20.080 there's evidence. I don't this doesn't work. So now we have now we have a 371 00:32:20.080 --> 00:32:23.920 decision, our brains got to be like, Okay, am I going to try again? Am I going 372 00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:27.240 to look for the cheese again? Or am I going to kind of stay stuck? Because now 373 00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:31.760 that I was rejected, and it didn't work once, is that going to happen again? And 374 00:32:31.760 --> 00:32:36.280 here's the reality, the answer actually is yes. Something's not going to work 375 00:32:36.280 --> 00:32:41.800 again, something's going to be scary again, something's going to give us 376 00:32:41.800 --> 00:32:47.720 evidence for our, you know, unbelief. But that's where the courage comes in to 377 00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:52.160 say, Hey, I'm, I'm still gonna try. Right? That's where like, you all are in a 378 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.240 positions in all of your lives in any different in different ways with this, 379 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:58.200 you know, okay, the business hasn't worked for the 10th time, what do I do 380 00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:02.120 now? Or social media hasn't worked for this amount of time? What do I do now? 381 00:33:02.800 --> 00:33:07.880 You know, or, um, you know, this thought, I'm afraid that change will lead to 382 00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:11.920 something worse that, believe it or not, this is a thought that that is keeping 383 00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:15.680 me even stuck now in my life. Like, honestly, I've been thinking like, oh, 384 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:19.720 it's gonna just get worse. How could it get better when I've just had an amazing 385 00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:24.320 life? Amazing this amazing that how on how, how, how good to get better? It's 386 00:33:24.320 --> 00:33:28.880 like, well, actually, it can, if I so decide that it will, right. And so taking 387 00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:34.400 it's a courageous thought. Because it requires it requires a level of faith 388 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:40.080 and a level of being rejected again, and going into a valley again. And he said 389 00:33:40.080 --> 00:33:42.960 at the end of this book, which I thought I'm like, Oh, I want to read his book, 390 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:47.280 like, peaks and valleys, I think is what it was called. But he was just saying, 391 00:33:47.280 --> 00:33:51.720 when you're in a peak, you need to learn how to manage it, which is number one, 392 00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:55.600 remember how you got there to stay humble and curious, and three, keep the 393 00:33:55.600 --> 00:34:02.320 resources at the peak for when you go back into the valley. So I love this. I 394 00:34:02.320 --> 00:34:07.680 love this way of thinking, expecting the valley, it and not getting arrogant in 395 00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:13.040 the peak, which honest, which I am so guilty of. I mean, that that actually 396 00:34:13.040 --> 00:34:17.760 really hit my heart. He was saying, like, you know, don't get arrogant and stay 397 00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:23.320 grateful for more when you get into the valley. And and, and I think it can be 398 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:26.920 really easy. I say this on Mindset Monday, it can be really easy to get stuck in 399 00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:31.639 that valley or like in Stockville and staying there because it becomes 400 00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:36.920 comfortable. Now it's known. Now I actually know what to expect when I'm 401 00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:41.480 not quite taking the full step or the risk. I'm just kind of scooting by, 402 00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:46.679 right? Things are okay, but they could be better. They could be worse, right? But I 403 00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:51.760 know a lot of you said yes to building businesses because you want better. You 404 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:56.080 want to see something you've never seen before. And it really just requires a 405 00:34:56.080 --> 00:34:59.920 level of courage and a level of belief that you you 406 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.480 maybe have not had yet. 407 00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:03.920 And that's where, and the belief comes 408 00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:08.040 from seeing and doing the things, right? 409 00:35:08.040 --> 00:35:11.720 So, and I will say, the last thing I wanna say is, 410 00:35:11.720 --> 00:35:14.800 you know, I think a lot of disappointment can come in too 411 00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:18.000 when you try something over and over again 412 00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:20.440 and it just doesn't work. 413 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:21.960 It can be very disappointing. 414 00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:26.400 I feel that emotion a lot actually recently in my life. 415 00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:30.120 And yeah, so on a personal level, 416 00:35:30.120 --> 00:35:32.480 I'm thinking about fostering kids 417 00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:35.780 and I've actually tried to foster kids three times now 418 00:35:35.780 --> 00:35:37.760 and it's not worked. 419 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:38.720 So part of me is like, 420 00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:41.360 is it actually gonna work the fourth time? 421 00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:42.680 Is this it really? 422 00:35:42.680 --> 00:35:45.320 Like, I don't know, you know? 423 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:48.880 But the only way I'm going to know is if I try. 424 00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.440 I won't know unless I do the thing, right? 425 00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:56.260 Unless I, you know, I've been on 69 first dates. 426 00:35:57.040 --> 00:36:00.220 Well, I have a lot of evidence for dating not working out, 427 00:36:00.220 --> 00:36:02.700 but what about the 70th? 428 00:36:02.700 --> 00:36:04.900 And what if it takes me 20 more? 429 00:36:04.900 --> 00:36:07.100 Am I still willing to put myself out there 430 00:36:07.100 --> 00:36:10.140 and to try to go after this beautiful role 431 00:36:10.140 --> 00:36:12.540 and gift of being a wife and having a family 432 00:36:12.540 --> 00:36:15.180 that I so desperately wanted, you know? 433 00:36:15.180 --> 00:36:18.740 But to say all that, you know, 434 00:36:18.740 --> 00:36:21.320 it does take a lot of courage to try again 435 00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:23.140 and to get out of the, 436 00:36:23.140 --> 00:36:25.500 when you're out of the peak and in the valley, 437 00:36:25.500 --> 00:36:26.940 I think it's really revealing 438 00:36:26.940 --> 00:36:29.020 of who we are and what we believe. 439 00:36:29.020 --> 00:36:31.620 And I love how this book basically says, 440 00:36:31.620 --> 00:36:33.940 you can make a change at any time. 441 00:36:33.940 --> 00:36:37.540 You can make a change at any moment, any day. 442 00:36:37.540 --> 00:36:40.180 Just do one thing different today. 443 00:36:40.180 --> 00:36:43.820 That's literally how simple actually change can be. 444 00:36:43.820 --> 00:36:46.860 And not only that, but what would it look like to say, 445 00:36:46.860 --> 00:36:48.320 oh, change is exciting. 446 00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:49.920 Change is fun. 447 00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:51.540 I'm gonna embrace this. 448 00:36:51.540 --> 00:36:54.780 It's actually gonna lead me to something better. 449 00:36:54.780 --> 00:36:56.980 And I think those are the kind of thoughts that, 450 00:36:56.980 --> 00:36:59.420 in Mindset Monday, we're talking about abundance thinking. 451 00:36:59.420 --> 00:37:02.140 Those are abundant thoughts right there. 452 00:37:02.140 --> 00:37:03.140 They're not scarcity. 453 00:37:03.140 --> 00:37:04.260 They're abundant, right? 454 00:37:04.260 --> 00:37:07.400 Like there's an abundance of G's out there for all of us. 455 00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:09.980 It's just a matter of staying the course 456 00:37:09.980 --> 00:37:13.980 and getting our hands on it when it finally happens. 457 00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:14.820 Yeah. 458 00:37:14.820 --> 00:37:17.940 I wanna kind of piggyback off that to Margo's comment. 459 00:37:17.940 --> 00:37:19.900 She's saying that's exactly how she's feeling 460 00:37:19.900 --> 00:37:21.940 about the leave coming up 461 00:37:21.940 --> 00:37:23.780 because last time it wasn't a good experience. 462 00:37:23.780 --> 00:37:28.780 And we have to actively remember how our brain is wired. 463 00:37:31.140 --> 00:37:34.140 We have to actively remember like it wants to keep me safe 464 00:37:34.140 --> 00:37:35.780 and that's not a bad thing. 465 00:37:35.780 --> 00:37:38.820 But if we can be proactive in remembering that, 466 00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:43.380 and so we can expect when we're gonna have like this anxiety 467 00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:45.540 about things that, okay, I know that this is, 468 00:37:45.540 --> 00:37:47.180 I'm gonna probably feel a type of way. 469 00:37:47.180 --> 00:37:49.260 I'm gonna have some type of thoughts 470 00:37:49.260 --> 00:37:52.780 and they're gonna want me to stay in place 471 00:37:52.780 --> 00:37:54.580 in an effort to keep me safe. 472 00:37:55.700 --> 00:37:58.580 You can start to preemptively prepare for that actually 473 00:37:58.580 --> 00:38:01.180 the more and more skilled you get at this. 474 00:38:01.180 --> 00:38:03.180 And I think that's another benefit 475 00:38:03.180 --> 00:38:08.180 of anticipating the values like what Danielle is saying. 476 00:38:08.300 --> 00:38:10.900 And again, it's a different, 477 00:38:10.900 --> 00:38:12.380 we're not waiting for the shoe to drop. 478 00:38:12.380 --> 00:38:14.380 It's a different mindset. 479 00:38:14.380 --> 00:38:17.940 It's just understanding that we have cycles 480 00:38:17.940 --> 00:38:19.900 and it's actually really important 481 00:38:19.900 --> 00:38:22.740 for us to go through the cycles in order to grow. 482 00:38:23.420 --> 00:38:24.860 If you wanna stay the same forever, 483 00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:26.660 then sure, don't go through a cycle. 484 00:38:27.980 --> 00:38:29.060 If you wanna be, which one? 485 00:38:29.060 --> 00:38:30.460 Him? 486 00:38:30.460 --> 00:38:31.820 Doesn't wanna buy him cheese? 487 00:38:31.820 --> 00:38:33.340 Angry and bitter. 488 00:38:33.340 --> 00:38:35.340 Go ahead, go ahead. 489 00:38:37.580 --> 00:38:39.460 Anyways, any lingering thoughts 490 00:38:39.460 --> 00:38:42.900 before we kind of transition into office hours? 491 00:38:46.740 --> 00:38:48.340 I'd like to say one more thing. 492 00:38:48.340 --> 00:38:50.020 I think I'm looking in the room 493 00:38:50.020 --> 00:38:53.060 and I think we're all in a similar generation. 494 00:38:54.260 --> 00:38:56.740 And I'm thinking about my parents 495 00:38:56.740 --> 00:38:59.100 and the generation above them. 496 00:38:59.100 --> 00:39:04.100 On a lot of them, I feel like resemble Hall, right?

I want everyone to answer at least a tent to 586 00:43:50.940 --> 00:43:55.940 like, doesn't have to be a perfect answer, but at least a test to kind of, 587 00:43:55.940 --> 00:43:57.180 to kind of like, 588 00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:01.400 doesn't have to be a perfect answer, but at least a test to come up. 589 00:44:02.080 --> 00:44:05.480 I think doing the, um, releasing the vibe, 590 00:44:06.240 --> 00:44:11.240 I have like.com vibe websites.com and just go in with what Steven talked about. 591 00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:17.200 At one point, you know, 592 00:44:17.200 --> 00:44:22.040 just creating the AI websites with the new go high level thing. 593 00:44:22.040 --> 00:44:25.200 I've been playing with that and trying to figure out how to work that even 594 00:44:25.220 --> 00:44:28.820 though I've been doing like the lovable websites and stuff like that for a 595 00:44:28.820 --> 00:44:32.820 while. But, um, I've already got my first client with that. 596 00:44:33.860 --> 00:44:37.780 Now it's just a matter of like, really, um, 597 00:44:37.820 --> 00:44:41.500 the next step is getting used to the builder. 598 00:44:42.860 --> 00:44:46.380 And, um, I've been thinking about doing ads for that, 599 00:44:46.380 --> 00:44:51.020 like the four 97, um, website or funnel, um, 600 00:44:51.340 --> 00:44:52.180 and launching that. 601 00:44:53.160 --> 00:44:57.600 So how many would you need to sell to make a thousand dollars to, okay. 602 00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:00.040 Or that would. 603 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.000 be like four four dollars away from 604 00:45:02.900 --> 00:45:05.780 Yeah, yeah, so basically two or three 605 00:45:07.080 --> 00:45:08.540 and 606 00:45:08.540 --> 00:45:10.540 then to get to 607 00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:16.560 How like what are your numbers? How many leads do you need to bring in? What's your conversion rate? 608 00:45:16.560 --> 00:45:18.560 You know start thinking about those things 609 00:45:18.720 --> 00:45:20.840 Actually, I've done this before with WordPress 610 00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:26.620 Years ago because I wanted to make like three four thousand dollars to go to a conference 611 00:45:26.940 --> 00:45:29.580 And I did it in two weeks, so it's something I've done before 612 00:45:31.220 --> 00:45:34.900 And the numbers were like I reach out to 613 00:45:37.660 --> 00:45:42.220 Ten people and get one I think it was I think those were my conversions 614 00:45:44.900 --> 00:45:48.020 Okay, I love it good thought 615 00:45:49.460 --> 00:45:53.500 And you have the option to go and do it if you choose I'm gonna do it 616 00:45:54.340 --> 00:45:56.340 for me, so 617 00:45:56.340 --> 00:45:58.340 just to kind of do an example of like 618 00:45:59.140 --> 00:46:05.260 Someone who would be starting more at scratch mode because a lot of you are very actively working all of you're working in your business 619 00:46:05.420 --> 00:46:10.460 So the question Margo was if you had to make a thousand dollars in the next 30 days with what you have 620 00:46:11.100 --> 00:46:16.380 Currently going on in your business. What would you do and so what I currently have going on my business is not much 621 00:46:16.380 --> 00:46:21.780 Not anything. It's just some ideas because as I've shared with you all it's not something I'm moving forward, but 622 00:46:22.420 --> 00:46:24.980 it's probably the thing that I 623 00:46:25.940 --> 00:46:28.900 Because I have all this knowledge at my fingertips 624 00:46:28.900 --> 00:46:34.460 I could move forward with the least amount of time like away from family and stuff 625 00:46:34.780 --> 00:46:37.940 So something I've played around with for my brand is a course 626 00:46:39.620 --> 00:46:45.820 So a course that would be available to families and individuals that are in my avatar, but also sold to churches 627 00:46:46.780 --> 00:46:52.380 So for me, it's like in a month. I could technically create said course market said course 628 00:46:53.100 --> 00:46:56.820 Sell said course if I needed $1,000 629 00:46:58.180 --> 00:47:00.740 or more so that's my 630 00:47:01.300 --> 00:47:07.660 my next steps would be to actually outline the course and fill it like make the course and then 631 00:47:08.420 --> 00:47:10.420 move on to 632 00:47:10.540 --> 00:47:15.940 probably organic reach outs would be the first thing to go to a faster response rate and 633 00:47:16.260 --> 00:47:18.940 then having to figure out the paid ads and 634 00:47:19.860 --> 00:47:21.860 working people through the funnel 635 00:47:22.380 --> 00:47:24.380 I 636 00:47:38.300 --> 00:47:44.060 Kind of did this exercise and a couple weeks ago before I got sick and started 637 00:47:44.580 --> 00:47:47.380 and it's basically kind of 638 00:47:47.940 --> 00:47:52.420 Like you can't make physical product in 30 days or less 639 00:47:52.420 --> 00:47:54.660 It's super difficult to do that 640 00:47:54.660 --> 00:48:00.660 And so it goes down to like a digital project product or a knowledge-based product 641 00:48:01.180 --> 00:48:04.300 and I decided that it would be 642 00:48:05.980 --> 00:48:12.140 Consulting in the industry that I have years of experience in in order to 643 00:48:12.660 --> 00:48:18.420 Find potential future customers for my cyclotron. And so trying to solicit 644 00:48:19.140 --> 00:48:24.780 Companies that I would want to help get to the next phase 645 00:48:24.780 --> 00:48:29.300 So that they could help me get to my next phase and we could potentially work together in the long term 646 00:48:29.300 --> 00:48:33.140 And so I started posting on LinkedIn and 647 00:48:34.980 --> 00:48:38.500 Commenting on other people's stuff and like making all of these 648 00:48:38.540 --> 00:48:44.820 Connections in my space that maybe I should have already had but I wasn't really active on LinkedIn and 649 00:48:46.100 --> 00:48:53.660 And then I got like a DM from somebody asking if I would be able to consult on his project 650 00:48:54.420 --> 00:48:58.340 Which was unpaid. I was frustrating and then I got 651 00:48:59.860 --> 00:49:03.860 Contacted by basically a recruiter who places 652 00:49:03.940 --> 00:49:07.620 C-suite executives on a consulting or a contract basis 653 00:49:07.620 --> 00:49:14.260 And I just had my first interview yesterday with a company that would actually pay me to do it 654 00:49:14.260 --> 00:49:16.580 But their timeline is beyond 30 days 655 00:49:16.580 --> 00:49:23.300 And so I feel really invigorated this week on posting on LinkedIn and doing cold reach-outs for 656 00:49:24.420 --> 00:49:29.060 Things that are well aligned with where I eventually want to be and 657 00:49:29.060 --> 00:49:33.700 And working towards making connections and network in this space 658 00:49:34.580 --> 00:49:36.580 going forward 659 00:49:36.580 --> 00:49:38.500 That's awesome 660 00:49:38.500 --> 00:49:43.220 I love that and that's where I want to say you said eventually be you want to eventually be in this place 661 00:49:43.220 --> 00:49:46.100 Well eventually doesn't have to be so far out in the future guys 662 00:49:46.660 --> 00:49:50.580 A lot of the times I know for myself. It's like well, maybe like at some point 663 00:49:51.140 --> 00:49:55.940 Or some some way in the future or eventually and I can't 664 00:49:56.660 --> 00:49:58.180 Goodbye 665 00:49:58.180 --> 00:49:59.400 Goodbye 666 00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:01.220 Thank you 667 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.000 move towards those things now, 668 00:50:01.220 --> 00:50:03.140 Anyway, I'll see you next time 669 00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:04.040 which would move the timeline up 670 00:50:04.040 --> 00:50:06.900 of being in that space sooner. 671 00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:11.360 So just something to think about there. 672 00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:13.280 Yeah, we were talking last week about, 673 00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:15.740 I was like, what would you do if you weren't afraid? 674 00:50:15.740 --> 00:50:18.400 And the reality is like, 675 00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:22.200 we are physically moving to another state. 676 00:50:22.200 --> 00:50:24.640 I have to like do all these things 677 00:50:24.640 --> 00:50:28.360 before I can be relocated. 678 00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:32.460 And so I'm like just giving myself permission to say, 679 00:50:32.460 --> 00:50:35.160 you know, the future starts in August 680 00:50:35.160 --> 00:50:37.740 whenever I'm unpacked in my new house. 681 00:50:37.740 --> 00:50:40.100 And that's when I can do all these other things. 682 00:50:40.100 --> 00:50:43.500 But between now and August, I need a few thousand dollars. 683 00:50:43.500 --> 00:50:45.860 So I guess I'll be consulting. 684 00:50:45.860 --> 00:50:46.700 Great. 685 00:50:50.340 --> 00:50:51.940 It serves double duty 686 00:50:51.940 --> 00:50:54.300 because it gives you the money for now 687 00:50:54.300 --> 00:50:55.780 and connections for later. 688 00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:01.600 So I'll have an idea. 689 00:51:03.400 --> 00:51:06.760 I think for me, it would probably be 690 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:11.080 hosting some kind of class or workshop, 691 00:51:11.080 --> 00:51:13.440 which is kind of my, 692 00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:16.560 that's my go-to when I have been in this situation 693 00:51:16.560 --> 00:51:17.400 in the past. 694 00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:18.920 Although I just did a vendor show this weekend. 695 00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:20.560 That was like Friday, Saturday, Sunday. 696 00:51:20.560 --> 00:51:21.760 And I did that. 697 00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:23.200 I made over a thousand. 698 00:51:23.200 --> 00:51:25.760 So that's also a possibility, 699 00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:29.240 but I happen to have all of the product like on hand. 700 00:51:29.240 --> 00:51:32.360 So I didn't have to like order a lot of extra stuff 701 00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:33.200 or whatever. 702 00:51:33.200 --> 00:51:36.560 I just took what I had and sold a lot of stuff, 703 00:51:36.560 --> 00:51:37.640 made a lot of new contacts. 704 00:51:37.640 --> 00:51:42.640 But I think more guaranteed for me would be 705 00:51:44.200 --> 00:51:48.800 create like a class or a workshop or a retreat. 706 00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:50.240 The retreats always do really well. 707 00:51:50.240 --> 00:51:52.240 They're usually at a higher price point. 708 00:51:53.240 --> 00:51:56.760 Schedule that out, fill it. 709 00:51:56.760 --> 00:52:01.240 And then that would probably be the thing. 710 00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:04.720 Yeah. 711 00:52:04.720 --> 00:52:07.200 That's like short and sweet, but. 712 00:52:07.200 --> 00:52:08.520 That's okay. 713 00:52:08.520 --> 00:52:10.080 Doesn't have to be complicated. 714 00:52:14.040 --> 00:52:16.280 Carrie, Garima, Maura, any ideas? 715 00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:21.360 Well, yeah, I can go. 716 00:52:22.240 --> 00:52:24.840 Well, basically I met somebody. 717 00:52:26.040 --> 00:52:29.520 She has like a bridal store 718 00:52:29.520 --> 00:52:34.280 and she gave me an idea to bring my product. 719 00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:37.080 She has like, she has a lot of foot traffic. 720 00:52:37.080 --> 00:52:40.840 It's a corner store with like glass windows. 721 00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:43.640 She suggested me to bring my product 722 00:52:43.640 --> 00:52:46.440 and with a QR code on it, 723 00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:48.760 she can place it on the window 724 00:52:48.760 --> 00:52:51.560 where it's like the most foot traffic. 725 00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:54.920 And she can maybe showcase it 726 00:52:54.920 --> 00:52:57.720 as for the wedding registry stuff. 727 00:52:57.720 --> 00:53:01.040 I never looked at that angle before. 728 00:53:01.040 --> 00:53:03.640 So I'm gonna try it out 729 00:53:05.160 --> 00:53:09.320 to physically actually put it out there 730 00:53:09.320 --> 00:53:11.440 in a store in Cincinnati. 731 00:53:11.440 --> 00:53:16.440 So, which is kind of, so far it's all Amazon. 732 00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:20.720 So I'm gonna try it out, giving an attribution link 733 00:53:20.720 --> 00:53:25.200 and see if I can bring traffic like this. 734 00:53:25.200 --> 00:53:26.720 And if it clicks, or I mean, 735 00:53:26.720 --> 00:53:29.280 if this is an experience to learn, 736 00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:30.560 maybe I can talk to her. 737 00:53:30.560 --> 00:53:35.080 She can give me more leads or learn from this experience 738 00:53:35.080 --> 00:53:38.000 and try it out. 739 00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:39.440 So that's what I'm gonna do. 740 00:53:41.120 --> 00:53:41.960 Love it. 741 00:53:41.960 --> 00:53:43.200 That's a cool opportunity. 742 00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:46.520 Yeah, thanks. 743 00:53:46.520 --> 00:53:48.000 Maura, did you have anything? 744 00:53:48.760 --> 00:53:49.600 Hmm. 745 00:53:50.560 --> 00:53:53.400 Yeah, well, mine comes down to energy 746 00:53:53.400 --> 00:53:55.680 because there's a lot of things I can do. 747 00:53:55.680 --> 00:53:57.520 I'm just not doing them. 748 00:53:57.520 --> 00:54:02.520 But on top of my blog and stuff that I wanna do with AI, 749 00:54:03.160 --> 00:54:06.920 I also have an eBay business, so, or an eBay store. 750 00:54:06.920 --> 00:54:10.560 So that's like the easiest way I can make $1,000, 751 00:54:10.560 --> 00:54:13.920 but it's just, you know, like with eBay, 752 00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:16.160 I don't know if anyone else has ever done it, 753 00:54:16.160 --> 00:54:19.920 but it's what you put into is what you get out of it. 754 00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:21.800 And if you're not active on the platform 755 00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:26.440 and creating new listings on a regular basis, 756 00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:28.560 then your sales just tank. 757 00:54:28.560 --> 00:54:33.560 And I have a lot of inventory that's not listed 758 00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:36.440 that is just sitting in my office. 759 00:54:36.440 --> 00:54:38.160 And every time I walk in my office, 760 00:54:38.160 --> 00:54:39.840 I'm like, my office is ugly 761 00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:41.800 and I need to get this stuff moving. 762 00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:46.240 So if someone can give me a shot of energy, 763 00:54:46.240 --> 00:54:48.880 I'm motivated to do that. 764 00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:53.880 I'm also very much letting fear hold me back 765 00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:57.640 from my AI stuff. 766 00:54:57.640 --> 00:54:59.520 And so I've also... 767 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.440 but that's like not really to be discussed here like Gabby we meet later 768 00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:10.400 this week you and I can talk about that but the other thing I've wanted to try 769 00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:19.520 is just doing Amazon reviews and has anyone on here done that because like to 770 00:55:19.520 --> 00:55:27.720 me I'm at home all day I shop on Amazon close to daily I have so many products I 771 00:55:27.720 --> 00:55:33.120 can review it doesn't take a lot of time or effort I'm already an influencer 772 00:55:33.120 --> 00:55:38.640 and have a storefront like I already have it all set up ready to go so if I 773 00:55:38.640 --> 00:55:43.360 needed to make a quick thousand dollars then I actually just have to do what I 774 00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:51.000 already have in front of me I'm just not doing it so that's something I've heard 775 00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:54.600 you say pretty much every time we talk Maura what do you think it's gonna take 776 00:55:54.600 --> 00:56:00.920 to change that that of me not doing it yes you're like you like a fear hold you 777 00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:05.200 back you're aware of that and the energy is you you know is actually going to be 778 00:56:05.200 --> 00:56:10.800 unpredictable that's predictable predictably unpredictable what is gonna 779 00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:20.160 change that um I don't know I mean I want to physically get better I don't 780 00:56:20.160 --> 00:56:28.320 with POTS and in chronic fatigue and my doctors keep telling me that like 781 00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:39.880 recovery is possible when I've done everything under the Sun but it probably 782 00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:47.720 just comes down to mindset and for a while I have felt like I'm just I don't 783 00:56:47.880 --> 00:56:57.680 have the motivation and I don't and so I guess okay sorry this is I'm verbally 784 00:56:57.680 --> 00:57:04.640 processing I think what will get me to change if I had accountability or if I 785 00:57:04.640 --> 00:57:11.200 had like this group I've been haven't had a group before and if we all said 786 00:57:11.200 --> 00:57:18.960 hey and may let's see who can make $1,000 then I might be motivated to 787 00:57:18.960 --> 00:57:23.680 actually do it because right now there's nothing telling me that I have to do 788 00:57:23.680 --> 00:57:33.600 that other than my body keeps telling me not to do that if that makes sense yeah 789 00:57:33.600 --> 00:57:39.440 it does Danielle I thought you and you it makes complete sense first of all who 790 00:57:39.440 --> 00:57:45.520 else has been where Mars talking about okay okay so we've got two options here 791 00:57:45.520 --> 00:57:56.760 number one I'm telling you right now in 30 days go make $1,000 boom right now 792 00:57:56.760 --> 00:58:03.440 done I said it but I don't think it's really that right I think sometimes we 793 00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:07.680 think it's accountability because we could sit here and say that which I mean 794 00:58:07.680 --> 00:58:11.920 team if y'all want to let's go let's make a little let's do it you know we 795 00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:16.520 can start right now end of May check back in see who's made a thousand bucks 796 00:58:16.520 --> 00:58:21.240 who's done it first you know but I think you're on to something more with the 797 00:58:21.240 --> 00:58:26.360 mindset I think that's also a part of it right because you have so many 798 00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:31.040 neuropathways going on in your brain that are keeping you safe and stuck real 799 00:58:31.040 --> 00:58:37.320 nice and comfy and stuck on the couch and I've been there I have been there I 800 00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:41.640 will be there again I'm not I'm not judging you I don't I don't I'm just 801 00:58:41.640 --> 00:58:48.000 letting you know you're right and I'm she allowed to have a mindset session 802 00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:54.760 with me Gabby is that like cuz I know I had I've had one with somebody on this 803 00:58:54.760 --> 00:59:03.160 call before so yeah okay all right Mara because what I do is I work with mine 804 00:59:03.160 --> 00:59:06.680 people's minds and I know exactly like kind of what you're talking about so 805 00:59:06.680 --> 00:59:10.720 would you want to do an hour session where I kind of help you create some new 806 00:59:10.720 --> 00:59:17.800 neuropathways around time and energy yes okay there's a million cool because we 807 00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:20.400 just talked about this yesterday on mindset Monday which I know you're not 808 00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:24.120 on that only some of you are on this call and we talked about like having an 809 00:59:24.120 --> 00:59:27.600 abundance mindset around time and money and you know all those different areas 810 00:59:27.600 --> 00:59:32.800 of our lives and how if we it's a you're a perfect example of having a scarcity 811 00:59:33.040 --> 00:59:38.120 thought keeps you stuck and I haven't I mean I've said I've said it so many 812 00:59:38.120 --> 00:59:41.840 times I've tried all these health things and nothing seemed to work you know it 813 00:59:41.840 --> 00:59:45.640 took me about 13 years to finally get some breakthrough but it didn't have to 814 00:59:45.640 --> 00:59:50.320 take that long actually it did it I was just a little stubborn and stuck so so 815 00:59:50.320 --> 00:59:53.840 I'll get with you we'll have a we'll have a call we'll have a session it'll 816 00:59:53.840 --> 01:00:00.720 help you that sounds amazing cool love to help you out there 817 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:01.720 Aerie, did you have anything? 818 01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:08.680 So I already do over $1,000. 819 01:00:08.680 --> 01:00:12.160 And so I was like, OK, how could I up the ante? 820 01:00:12.160 --> 01:00:19.040 Maybe like $1,000 sales instead of $1,000. 821 01:00:19.040 --> 01:00:21.120 But we need to run ads. 822 01:00:21.120 --> 01:00:23.840 That's actually what we're going through right now. 823 01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:28.200 We need to start running ads and bring brand awareness and stuff. 824 01:00:28.200 --> 01:00:30.440 I was talking to an influencer. 825 01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:31.960 So we've been going back and forth. 826 01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:34.280 And I just don't know if I'm quite there yet 827 01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:36.680 to afford what she wants to charge. 828 01:00:36.680 --> 01:00:44.720 So I was asking chat and the CEO in the 8Fig AI toolkit 829 01:00:44.720 --> 01:00:47.560 for a new startup, how do you do it? 830 01:00:47.560 --> 01:00:52.560 And they're more affiliate as opposed to a flat rate fee. 831 01:00:52.560 --> 01:00:54.960 So I'm not sure if the influencer will work out. 832 01:00:54.960 --> 01:00:57.480 But at the end of the day, we need 833 01:00:57.480 --> 01:01:01.840 to start running ads and driving traffic to our website. 834 01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:04.000 OK. 835 01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:05.720 Thanks for sharing. 836 01:01:05.720 --> 01:01:07.400 Danielle, do you want to have an idea? 837 01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:18.920 I'm just closed right now. 838 01:01:18.920 --> 01:01:24.320 Let's just say you needed $1,000. 839 01:01:24.360 --> 01:01:27.000 Y'all, we're laughing because are you referring 840 01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:29.080 to what we talked about on the call yesterday? 841 01:01:29.080 --> 01:01:31.120 I mean, not necessarily. 842 01:01:31.120 --> 01:01:31.620 OK. 843 01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:42.080 OK, so well, I'm honing in on my babysitting skills. 844 01:01:42.080 --> 01:01:48.440 So I just made $1,000 last week babysitting. 845 01:01:48.440 --> 01:01:50.640 So that's a skill I've got in my back pocket. 846 01:01:50.640 --> 01:01:55.600 I started as a college lady, college girly. 847 01:01:55.600 --> 01:01:56.440 OK. 848 01:01:56.440 --> 01:02:00.040 So I'm telling you, people have asked 849 01:02:00.040 --> 01:02:02.480 me to watch their kids the entire month of April. 850 01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:03.640 I don't understand how. 851 01:02:03.640 --> 01:02:04.560 I don't know why. 852 01:02:04.560 --> 01:02:06.560 I've said yes because it's made sense. 853 01:02:06.560 --> 01:02:08.440 And I've made over $1,000. 854 01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:09.680 OK, so that's nice. 855 01:02:09.680 --> 01:02:12.200 Also, I just rented a room. 856 01:02:12.200 --> 01:02:13.840 I just switched my entire house up. 857 01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:17.680 The family I was living with moved out. 858 01:02:17.680 --> 01:02:18.600 That moved in with me. 859 01:02:18.600 --> 01:02:20.440 They just moved out last week. 860 01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:21.640 This past week. 861 01:02:21.640 --> 01:02:23.640 And somebody is moving in today. 862 01:02:23.640 --> 01:02:27.000 And I decided to charge $1,000 for one room. 863 01:02:27.000 --> 01:02:29.880 And so I got creative and kind of am 864 01:02:29.880 --> 01:02:32.280 re-leveraging my home right now. 865 01:02:32.280 --> 01:02:37.280 So there's $1,000. 866 01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:40.080 That's funny. 867 01:02:40.080 --> 01:02:43.320 OK, I also have a client who's ending with me. 868 01:02:43.320 --> 01:02:46.160 And I think what I'm going to do is offer some more time 869 01:02:46.160 --> 01:02:46.880 to work with me. 870 01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:49.080 And then that would easily be over $1,000. 871 01:02:49.080 --> 01:02:50.760 So. 872 01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:59.560 And OK, this cannot leave this call. 873 01:02:59.560 --> 01:03:01.160 I know most of you. 874 01:03:01.160 --> 01:03:04.520 Mara and Sian, not so much. 875 01:03:04.520 --> 01:03:06.440 But I'm looking forward to getting to know you, 876 01:03:06.440 --> 01:03:07.800 especially at the retreat, Sian. 877 01:03:11.680 --> 01:03:12.720 Oh, I'm nervous. 878 01:03:12.720 --> 01:03:18.520 OK, so I think I'm going to start 879 01:03:18.520 --> 01:03:22.920 my own Mindset Monday brand. 880 01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:25.880 And Rainmakers actually will no longer have it 881 01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:29.040 at all in the near future. 882 01:03:29.040 --> 01:03:31.760 So I'm going to start a low ticket membership 883 01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:34.320 and literally just continue Mindset Monday. 884 01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:38.040 But it's going to be more my thing and not Rainmakers. 885 01:03:38.040 --> 01:03:40.040 So. 886 01:03:40.040 --> 01:03:41.480 And let's see where it goes. 887 01:03:41.480 --> 01:03:43.520 All of you on this call are going to be the first 888 01:03:43.520 --> 01:03:46.920 to be invited to it, just so you know. 889 01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:48.480 And it's going to be a low ticket. 890 01:03:48.480 --> 01:03:49.800 And it's going to be fun. 891 01:03:49.800 --> 01:03:52.320 It's going to be really similar to what I've just been doing, 892 01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:55.160 but even a little more Danielle. 893 01:03:55.160 --> 01:03:56.720 So. 894 01:03:56.720 --> 01:03:59.640 So yeah, I'm going to take that plunge, probably. 895 01:03:59.640 --> 01:04:00.840 I don't know when. 896 01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:03.600 OK, it's not out of the bag yet. 897 01:04:03.600 --> 01:04:05.560 But stay tuned. 898 01:04:05.560 --> 01:04:08.120 We literally were talking besides yesterday. 899 01:04:08.120 --> 01:04:09.480 It was yesterday. 900 01:04:09.480 --> 01:04:11.240 And I'm going to roll with it. 901 01:04:11.240 --> 01:04:13.200 I'm just not sure what day. 902 01:04:13.200 --> 01:04:14.440 Yeah. 903 01:04:14.440 --> 01:04:17.840 So yeah, definitely keep it to yourselves. 904 01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:19.720 Don't go sharing this around to anybody 905 01:04:19.720 --> 01:04:21.080 who's not on the call today. 906 01:04:21.080 --> 01:04:22.520 If they want to know about it, they 907 01:04:22.520 --> 01:04:24.440 could have been on the call today. 908 01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:25.160 So yeah. 909 01:04:25.160 --> 01:04:28.400 But the reason why I ask this question, y'all, is because, 910 01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:32.160 and I know this hasn't been the most exciting conversation, 911 01:04:32.160 --> 01:04:35.080 but I'm in calls with most of you. 912 01:04:35.080 --> 01:04:39.880 So commonly, I hear complaints of cash flow or things 913 01:04:39.880 --> 01:04:40.600 not working. 914 01:04:40.600 --> 01:04:42.240 And you know what, guys? 915 01:04:42.240 --> 01:04:44.000 You've just got to decide at some point. 916 01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:45.480 My brain is going to shift, and I'm 917 01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:47.120 going to do something different. 918 01:04:47.120 --> 01:04:49.160 So that's what today's exercise is. 919 01:04:49.160 --> 01:04:51.800 And I like that with what you have right now, 920 01:04:51.800 --> 01:04:54.360 because I don't think sometimes you realize 921 01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:58.160 how much knowledge is dumped into your Rainmaker training 922 01:04:58.160 --> 01:04:59.720 portal. 923 01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:01.400 Ways to make money. 924 01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:02.720 Business Accelerator course, 925 01:05:02.720 --> 01:05:04.200 literally apply it to any industry. 926 01:05:04.200 --> 01:05:05.760 Go start something new tomorrow 927 01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:09.280 and you have knowledge that you can apply to it, okay? 928 01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:12.000 So this is like a, I love Tough Love. 929 01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:12.840 You guys know that. 930 01:05:12.840 --> 01:05:14.280 That's like my MO. 931 01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:15.560 This is my Tough Love. 932 01:05:15.560 --> 01:05:19.120 You guys are all capable of doing the thing, 933 01:05:19.120 --> 01:05:22.720 of generating $1,000 in new revenue in the next 30 days. 934 01:05:22.720 --> 01:05:25.800 $10,000, whatever that number is 935 01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:27.800 that needs to challenge you. 936 01:05:28.680 --> 01:05:31.360 So I just want you guys to feel that push. 937 01:05:31.360 --> 01:05:32.520 I'm like, you can do it. 938 01:05:32.520 --> 01:05:34.960 I love that we can come to this call and share honestly, 939 01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:38.520 like things that are hard, disappointing, not working well. 940 01:05:38.520 --> 01:05:40.880 But I also don't want it to just be that. 941 01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:43.800 That's not what this community is for. 942 01:05:44.720 --> 01:05:46.840 This community is for you to also 943 01:05:46.840 --> 01:05:49.360 like get propelled into moving forward. 944 01:05:50.680 --> 01:05:53.720 So that's just like be thinking this week, 945 01:05:53.720 --> 01:05:55.840 if I really had to make $1,000 in revenue, 946 01:05:56.800 --> 01:05:58.640 or in profit, whatever you want to say, 947 01:05:58.640 --> 01:06:01.960 whatever you actually need in the next 30 days, 948 01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:02.800 what would I do? 949 01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:05.360 And this kind of circles back to when we were talking, 950 01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:07.680 going through the science of scaling, 951 01:06:07.680 --> 01:06:10.640 because having that like quick deadline 952 01:06:10.640 --> 01:06:12.920 with a certain amount attached to it is like, 953 01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:15.520 oh, this is gonna shift some priorities probably. 954 01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:19.800 I might not go watch TV tonight, or whatever. 955 01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:22.840 Or watch my YouTube videos. 956 01:06:23.040 --> 01:06:26.120 For me, I restarted my like Gilmore Girls. 957 01:06:26.120 --> 01:06:27.800 That's like when I'm, I've watched that show 958 01:06:27.800 --> 01:06:29.920 like more than a dozen times, y'all. 959 01:06:29.920

01:06:46.560 they dropped Who Moved My Cheese in a line in the movie 965 01:06:46.560 --> 01:06:48.000 that I never caught before, 966 01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:49.440 because I didn't know about it. 967
