Hello. Hey, girl. You look fabulous. Oh, what? Your hair looks extra fabulous and you got
your hoops. Oh, thank you. I was just doing stuff all morning. I'm in Chicago. I know.
How's it going? It's going. Yeah. Uh huh. It's going. I'll ask more later. Just can't
believe I said yes to this. I'm just working on setting up the live stream and putting
out a notification. Is anyone in the waiting room? Yeah. OK, cool. That's good. I'm a little
behind today. It's fine. You're doing great. Yeah, I'm just a very selfish person. And
being single, I really can be. Yeah. This is like selfless stuff out here. Good for
you. Stepping in. I'm stepping in. I'm learning. I'm growing. I'm relying on Jesus. You are.
I think that's great. Uh huh. It really is. I was keeping my come in at one point, so
I'll just mute myself for a second, talk to her. OK. Should be set up. You got your little
smoothie. Nice. I don't know why it has it sometimes. What did it do? Where like I'm
signed out of the sign in. I know that happens sometimes. That was my password. Perfect. Oh,
great. I'm going to let people in. OK. Hello, everybody. Hello, hello. Come on in. I'm just
finishing up, making sure our live stream is going. How are you ladies doing today? I'm doing
all right. How about you? Doing all right. I'm in Chicago right now for a conference. So I'm
excited. A conference that you're presenting at or a conference you're attending? Um, actually,
neither. Do you remember Jenna from Rainmakers? Yeah. He was in a wheelchair. Oh, that Jenna. I
thought you meant the one that lives in Michigan, who's doing coaching now. OK, the one in a
wheelchair. She asked me to help her attend this conference and like help her out and be. Yeah. So
I said, yes. So there's actually going to be some really like guess who I'm going to hear speak,
ladies. Dr. Benjamin Hardy. Oh, wow. He's going to be here. Chris Voss, Gordon West, a couple
other powerful women entrepreneurs. So it'll be fun. How's everyone else doing? Hi, Sienna. Hi,
Carrie. Hi, Margo. How are y'all doing? Doing good. Testing my Internet. Yay. Well, go ahead,
Gabby. I was going to say, how'd everyone do on reading or listening to their book?
So I have a question about that. I actually have the physical book. So I was very confused by your layout
I didn't know how far to read
I don't know if maybe it's laid out different on like audio as opposed to the physical book
But it wasn't labeled that way. So I didn't know how far to read
okay, so
The same thing happened to me too when I went to go read
We we used a chat GPT to help us out and I just assumed that the sections were numbered
But I guess that they were they're not numbered
No, it's just like but I guess it's like part one and then it's a chapter under each part
So I saw like the little voices part and I read a little bit past that because I wasn't sure how far
Not it shouldn't have been more than 50 pages
Okay
So what I'm gonna do is go back through that and tidy it up cuz yeah
I don't know why I tried did that but and I didn't double-check it. So that's on me. Whatever you did was enough. So yeah
Okay, so but mainly it's just like some of them, you know the mindset so what I'll do is I'll just go over a quick little
Recap and then I'd love to hear your thoughts
She talked about how success is not an accident. It's something you create on purpose
Taking small steps consistently is a huge part to success
She said oh she talked about the what if like that phrase how?
Paralyzing that just those two words together can be you know, we talked about we talked a lot about this in mindset, right?
What if it doesn't work? What if it what if it fails?
What if it you know, and then the opposite of that is what if it works? What if it's successful, right?
And then talked about the three C's clarity confidence and competence
Which is so funny because I led an entire call on those three C's before so I was like, okay
We're aligned. We're all we're all reading the same stuff. We're right
We're stepping into the mindset of how to be clear confident and incompetent
Oh, there was this one phrase from one of the chapters
Or yeah chapters that said when you're destined for greatness your own potential haunts you
It keeps you up at night and won't stop until you succeed. I
Really thought that was a powerful quote for us and then oh and she talked about how when she was stuck at one point
of her life
She said the reason she didn't have a clue is because she was doing nothing and
Until you get moving you can't get unstuck. So a lot of getting out of Stuckville is
Doing something doing something different changing something right? She talked about the power of movement and
And I and one thing I want to say is I I've never read her stuff before
I don't know if any of you guys have but I
Really? I feel like we would all just vibe with her
I feel like she would be in our community like she would be on our zoom call. I really like
How she's personable and also hey, I've been through this and this is what I've learned and this is where I'm at
So and I like how she talked with my about mindset like how that's
The very first part of her book and as we see this over and over a lot of success comes from the way that
You think right? So so yeah, anybody want to share something that really stuck out to you something?
You found valuable
The floor is open
I personally like the
Successes like especially something you do on purpose
I think a lot of times when we're feeling discouraged and we start
Seeing everybody else do better than us. It's like, oh they just got lucky
Or they just had something that the stars aligned for them. The stars are not aligning for us
And it's easy it's easier to think that
um
Because it takes off
Like it removes your responsibility from the equation. Um, and it's not to say that
I don't want to like downplay like the hard stuff because it is hard but it
It everybody each person's journey
has a certain amount of like
Hardship or like, you know overcoming the obstacles or troubleshooting all that
and
No one's really having like accidental success. I feel like that's really
But I like that part probably the most
And yeah, we rarely see that part like it's true I think I mean, I know we've all talked about this of
You know, a lot of times you're just seeing the highlights from people you're seeing the success especially on you know
social media or
If someone's on a podcast, you're just getting a very short and condensed version of the
story.
But we're not able to see all the times that they had to make an intentional decision,
all those little tiny decisions, big decisions along the way that built up to whatever their
success was, whatever their story is.
And yeah, success is really is our responsibility.
One thing that I'm liking so far about this book is there's a lot of parallels between,
you know, what Danielle says on Mindset Monday, what other books we've read in the past have
said, and a lot of marketing that you see on, you know, social media and the TV or whatever,
this is just like the secrets that wealthy people know, or the secrets to success.
And I think that's like what I'm finding more and more is there's actually no secret.
There's like, everybody kind of already knows it.
It's all written in the book.
And it's like, actually just got to do what they're saying.
And it's kind of refreshing to like, read these books and be like, okay, there's actually
nothing new here.
They've just rephrased it.
And it's really nice to hear how their perspective is and how they've implemented it for themselves.
And how it's like playing out in this version of the telling of it.
But the reality is like, the tools are all in my toolbox.
Now I just got to take out the tools one at a time, whenever the situation calls for it.
Yeah.
I love that you just said that, Chrissy, because I was teaching in another community yesterday
a mindset call.
And I was like, listen, what I'm about to say is not new.
You've probably heard it before.
There's nothing new under the sun as it is.
And yet, our brains need to hear things seven times plus.
And then not only do we need to hear it again, but then like, go do something.
Like you said, like take the tool.
The tools are only as good as the person who's going to use them, right?
Like take the tool out and actually like build something with it, right?
And like, and for those of you who weren't on the call with Elliot, who's my friend,
his company hit a billion.
You know, he basically, his biggest thing was keep going until you get what you want.
Just like not quitting.
You know, and I think she talked about this too in the book.
She was like, there were moments where I felt like it.
There were moments when I was stagnant.
But at the end of the day, in her 10 plus year journey, she just never, she never actually
gave up.
And so I actually found some solace because I'm feeling a little stuck personally.
I'm trying things right now myself, and it's like easy to get stuck in that.
So it was just a good reminder to zoom out and be like, wait a minute.
I'm not quitting.
There's a difference between taking a break or doing some, trying something new or, or
taking a rest for a moment or, you know, offering something else.
So yeah, I like that.
Who else had something?
I I'll second what Christy said.
I agree.
I just like how it's all intertwined.
Like it ties into a little, it has a little bit of the same who moved my cheese and then
just the mindset and the what if was really powerful.
Like just putting those two words together, what they sound separate and then you put
them together and it's like, what if, but why do we always take it to the negative instead
of, so when she had like the, what if I fail quote, but Oh, but what if you fly, you know
what I mean?
It was like, I've, you've heard, I've heard it a million times.
And, but why do we always go to what if I feel we always go to the negative instead
of the positive.
So I thought that was really powerful and it was just good to hear everything all over
again.
I liked the part two where she talked about like being her, like writing her book and
being stuck, but it still haunted her because it was meant to be.
And she just wasn't taking the action.
What did you guys think about the, the fact that she gave herself a challenge early on
when she was like miserable, feeling kind of lost?
What did you think about that idea of giving yourself a challenge?
Has anybody ever thought to give themselves a challenge?
I think I need them to help motivate me.
Yeah.
Didn't we have a last couple of weeks ago in this call?
Say that again, Sian.
Didn't we have a challenge like that a couple of weeks ago in this call, the next 30 days?
I haven't read the book yet, but I downloaded it.
that I have it. Um, did we? $1,000 in 30 days? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I presented that more as like a hypothetical question,
not an actual challenge. But you have taken it seriously,
actually, which has been great. I don't know if you guys
realize this, but Sian has taken that on as her challenge over
the last couple weeks.
Can I share what happened? Because the $1,000 was supposed
to like pay for my rest, you know, paying for my program. And
so I was making coffee the other day, I'm like, I have money that
my mom gave me for my inheritance that's in a VIP. And
I'm like, I'm just gonna get out of scarcity, borrow for myself,
and and pay most of my program, which I did. And it felt good.
And it got me out of scarcity, because now I don't have to,
like, I'm still in action. I am in action and a lot of different
things in my life. And I'm figuring out my business. But I
don't have to be in scarcity about it. Like, I don't have to
do things that I don't want to do just to raise some cash. So
yeah, I'm still on that challenge. But I'm like, I made
$2,000 already.
Yeah, that's awesome. I love that the scarcity piece for you
because you said like, I don't have to do random things that I
don't want to do for cash. When we start getting into that
scarcity mindset, we start going into this like, drastic
rabbit hole, like I could do this, I could do this. And not
that those things are always bad, or you shouldn't do or
whatever. But a lot of times, it's what causes us to have
like misaligned action that distracts us from where we
really want to be. And just take this further away. And then we
take the evidence of like, oh, this hasn't worked out. Now
we're going to keep going over here with the distraction. Yeah,
that's really awesome.
I remember, so I want to share like a full story about a
challenge. So I was listening to a mentor. This was a few years
ago. And this was when I was building like my network
marketing business a lot more. And she talked about she had
built up really fast, not really fast, but she had built up
really strong momentum and had moved pretty quickly in her
business. You know, being a top performer and stuff like that,
and had started to go through a season where it started to drop
off. And she was going to be losing, you know, some of the
perks and cash and things that you know, she was getting
regularly and was starting to be frantic and panic about it and
like, not sure. And she gave herself a challenge. What
happened was she gave herself a challenge in January. And what
I loved about what she shared was a lot of things turned
around in her business. But what she shared was that she was a
changed person. Because of that challenge. Because it changed
her attitude, it changed her mindset, it changed what she was
doing. And instead of her being so like whiny and what was mean,
like she took responsibility and it had a domino effect with you
know, her and her team and all that stuff. And I that has
stuck with me since I've listened to that training, like
a few years ago, was that really, the point of I think
when we're doing challenges and things that are like short
sprints, is to change us. And the business or whatever it is
the challenges on just happens to change with it, because we're
different. And the way we show up is different. That wasn't
that's why like this part of it is really sticking out to me.
Because I have like a billion questions. So I would ask her
about her challenge and all the things every day, how did she
experience it? And how much is the what if coming up in that
time period of doing that challenge?
So I don't know, Danielle, if you have a question, but I have
a question to ask.
Go ahead.
Okay. If you were going to do a challenge, which I know there is
a 28 day challenge at the end, but and this is definitely,
again, a hypothetical thing just to get your brain going. If you
were to do a challenge in your own business in life, what would
it be? What would it be on like, what would you be doing? And
maybe what would it be called? How long would it last?
You go first, Gabby.
Okay, I think that challenges generally, I think should not be
longer than a month is my personal opinion. Because you
need to be able to you're sprinting, you know, generally
with a challenge. And so once you get to that point, I think
it's a good idea to do a challenge in your own business.
And I think it's a good idea to do a challenge in your own
past a certain point, we start to, we can only sprint for so long. You know what I mean?
business. And I think it's a good idea to do a challenge in
Have you ever tried sprinting? How long can you sprint for? You know what I mean? So we
peter out, and that's okay. So I would do nothing more than a month. And even I think
there's something to be said about doing a five-day challenge or a one-week challenge,
because it's just getting that momentum. And I think that for me, my challenge would
be like a dream challenge, like take five minutes to even think about my dream every
day, like whether it's my dream business, things that have been, you know, formulating
the back of my mind and my subconscious, you know, because there's not a lot of area
of room for that in my life now. So I think for me, it would be some sort of like take
like, I would do more than five minutes, I guess, but maybe take 30 minutes every day
for a month to dream and not just sit there and think about it, but to like, what's the
next piece in this dream? What's this puzzle piece in the dream? What's this? And start
creating a fuller picture. And which would require some actions of like, you know, some
type of like action that involves technology of putting something together. Because I need
answers. I need to know what the different puzzle pieces are. I don't think so, Daniel.
90 day runs. Yeah, they're exhausting. 90 days is a long time. Mario says, I think my
challenge would be that I spend 60 minutes a day in intentional rest. I love this one.
Go do it. I love it. Okay, I'll have to look into that. Who else?
I've got one. I would do a 30 day challenge on getting my tacos below 20%. I feel like
that's something that I've been like talking about doing for so long. And I'm like, Oh,
always trying to figure it out. Like, just like do it like in 30 days, get your tacos
below 30% 20% 20% I've started with 30 and then it was like 25. And I was like, No, this
is a challenge. 20 20%. I love it. Imagine what that kind of focus on like one thing
would do for you. It would be a game changer. Yeah. And that's directly tied to profit. So
that's great. Anybody else want to share? Oh, so the end we're talking about. So on
Amazon specifically, she's she has a product on Amazon and her PPC like her advertising
costs, basically that tacos is talking about like the convert kind of your conversions
with selling compared to how much you're spending in advertising. So the lower we get that tacos
that conversion means that you're having to spend less and less on advertising but still
more and more. We want it to go down. Christie, did you have a challenge? Carrie, did you
have a challenge? I feel tired already. You talked about sprinting. I'm like, Oh, I'm
too tired. I'm like, Oh, walk 10,000 miles, but I'm not going to be able to run. I'm not
like in a phase where I can do a 30 day challenge. It would be like, you know, when I get there,
I get there. And I think it's just one of those things where when you said dream and
Margot said a rest challenge. It's like, you know, trying to figure out a way to sit still
and like make my brain be still and be intentional with my focus. I probably could do that. Maybe
I probably would be benefited by doing that. But if I was
able to do that is a completely different thing.
That's fair.
Well, kind of along the lines of what you just said, Christy, I feel like
I would go one of two ways. It would either be a walking challenge, like actually walking,
because I find myself because walking really slows me down and it heals my nervous system.
And or like a stretch challenge. Those are two things I really struggle to keep in habit with
that really, really, really support me and then therefore help me do other things in my life.
So it'd either be like a stretch or a walk challenge and then probably something along
the lines of building out basically the next stage of Mindset Monday. So something's on that
too, I think. Yeah, because I think a purpose of a challenge, Christy, isn't necessarily to sprint.
It's just I'm thinking like, where is an area of my life that I'm feeling weakened or that I just
need some extra support in that I would like to have a habit built or I'd like to see a
different result. That's kind of how I was looking at it. And it doesn't have to it can be really
anything because, you know, how we do one thing in our lives shows up and how we do others. So
even if we're mastering one, one habit or one thing in a challenge, it's gonna it's just gonna
have a ripple effect right in other areas of our life, which I think is really powerful.
Yeah, I think that's great. I love the walking stretch because
for a lot of us doing that causes your brain to actually slow down. And for me specifically,
even like it's in those times like when I go and walk before I run or I am taking extra time to do
like a mobility something for my joints or stretching, like my brain is slower. So I'm
actually able to passively like dream. You know what I mean? Like my brain is like, oh, we are
slowing down to think about these other things. Not all of the fires that are happening every day
and take care of a put out. Yeah. We're gonna move and transition into regular office hours
here in a few minutes. I want to leave space for anything else that anybody wanted to share
about the book or takeaways, questions. Something that you loved.
All right, we're gonna move on. I think for office hours today, I really want to do like
an emotional check in. I know a lot of times I'm very action oriented and, you know, kind of
solution oriented, but I want to take a minute and just see. Let's slow down for today and see
how everyone's doing emotionally. That can be emotionally, how you're doing personally, whatever
it is you want to share or feel like you need support on. I want to give space for that today.
And as I do always love when others can respond, though, with encouragement and positive
positivity. So I don't know if anybody wants to be the first person to share how they're doing.
Well, I already shared that I'm feeling tired. I feel frustrated because like my season of hard,
it just feels like it's continuing way longer than it should. And I just feel like I'm done
with that part now and I'm ready to move to the next part, but it's just like lingers still. And
so I just feel frustrated about it and it's kind of taking my energy away because I don't want to
work on those problems anymore. I want to work on new problems, but those problems are not resolved
completely. But I feel like I'm like right there at that tail end of all of my issues being
resolved and I can like get to the next level and go to the next step, the next phase, the next,
you know, what's there for me. And so, yeah, I just, I feel tired.
When you're talking about problems, are you talking about with your
stuff with your business or other things or a mix of those?
All of them, they're all problems, right? I don't have
like, I mean, fortunately, my kids are healthy. Again, we all
got really sick last month, but then we all got healthy. And so
we're all fine now. But it was just like, I don't know, it's
like, all of my businesses were like crumbling. I felt like, you
know, that stress was carrying over into like my other
relationships. And it was just like, everything felt terrible.
And like I said, like some of the stuff is resolved, like that
Airbnb fiasco is done. And yeah, things are moving forward with
my properties and getting tenants in the properties, which
is absolutely required to be financially stable. So that's
good. But yeah, I mean, nobody showed up for my full time job.
Nobody showed up this week because they have, you know,
missed so many paychecks. And I'm trying to support the CEO
to raise money so that we can all get our back pay. So I can
get my back pay as well. But it just lingers and lingers. And I
feel like I want to just get that money or get out of debt so
that I can move to the next step in things. And I keep having
like, networking phone calls to make connections to try to like,
you know, do fractional C-suite consulting or otherwise, like do
contract work with small businesses. And none of the
entities have money. They're all looking for money, too. And so
it's like, I don't know, I just have meetings and they don't
come to instant paychecks, which is fine. It's just, there's a
drain on my energy.
How would you like to be encouraged today?
I'm not saying, you know, looking for encouragement or
anything. It's just like, time heals all wounds. So I'll just
give it another month and then just take it from there.
Okay.
Does anybody have any sort of, did anybody think of any, have a
thought pop up for Christy while she was talking?
Christy, I don't I don't know you very well, but I've only
heard you in a couple of sessions. But, but even in the
small amount of time, I realized that you've done so many
projects, you've got so many things going on, and that you
have many, many talents. And so I'm just wondering, how do you
think about the future of the business world?
Yeah, I think that's a great question. So, I think that
you've got so many things going on, and that you have many, many
talents, and that's really impressive. So I feel like for
sure, because you've planted these seeds, and you clearly
have many, many talents, that right around the corner, all of
the riches are going to start coming in.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, I wanted to share two things. So number one, it would
be good, maybe you could take a look at, you know, what you need
energetically to start feeling more energized. You know, that
just can look different for everybody in every season,
right? So it doesn't have to be this big thing. But you know, is
there something you can do differently this week where
you're getting some energy back? So maybe something that makes
you smile or a small self care thing or just something like
that. All right, that was the first thing I wanted to share
with you. Because I mean, working for no pay is draining.
It's freaking draining. I've been doing it. I've done it. I'm
sure I will do it again. So making sure to take care of
yourself and that and always, you know, teetering the line of
when is it good to to make a change? Or when is it good to
keep going? So just keep checking in with yourself. And
then also time heals everything you mentioned. And I would like
to in all love say time doesn't heal everything. But working
towards healing within time can because sometimes years will go
by and people are still not healed. Right? Because you have
to do something different for there to be healing. And so I
don't think Yeah, because we can be healed in a week or months or
years, you know, time. Yeah, like with intention with
something that's kind of helping you go in a different direction
will heal you, which I know. I mean, you're
about to do a big move, right?
So I know you're kind of waiting on that.
I know like things are coming your way
that are gonna change.
So continue, again, you need to take care of yourself.
I would say even more, right?
Cause you're about to hit a transition season.
So that would be my encouragement for you.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing guys.
Margot put in the chat, I don't know if you can see that.
Christy, I think you're doing great
and the fact that you're showing us your weekly shows
that you're still committed to moving forward.
And I know it will get easier.
The problems are being resolved, even though it feels slow.
And then the 30 day self-care challenge
has been challenged to you, Margot.
Who else?
I'll go next.
Kind of a little bit in the same boat,
but it's being, I feel like I hit bottom a lot
when during that five weeks that I was sick.
And I was talking on the call yesterday,
just like, I just take action all the time.
I get an idea and here I go.
And then I change directions and it's like,
so I'm too in a position where,
I mean, I get paid for room and board
and there's no boundaries.
I worked for my dad for a dog business
and I actually moved out to,
moved my office into my Airstream,
which is far enough away from the house
that he can't just come on,
knock on my door at 11 o'clock at night
and want me to answer emails
or whatever dumb thing he has for me.
And it feels good.
It's just like the last few days
I've been cleaning and cleaning and getting things ready.
And, but I'm like in my new office space right now,
I'm like not worried about him barging in
and interrupting me.
And that's huge for me, like the boundary thing.
And so this 30 day challenge feels really good.
I think it might be less because I'm gonna,
the retreat's gonna be my deadline,
next step and then leave the retreat
within that next 30 days.
But it's just, it's like now it's back to action again,
but action that for me,
creating space for me, creating safety for myself,
boundaries, that's kind of where I'm at.
I love that, we love boundaries, I love boundaries.
I think my, my like, I don't know,
kudos is like way to take a step
into claiming back some boundaries for yourself
and doing something within your power.
That's a big deal.
When it is, I think it's never easy
to create a new boundary.
It usually involves some type of,
I saw Daniel go like this.
Yeah, there's always,
it's always gonna be some form of uncomfortable.
It's gonna hit on something, whatever it may be.
And a lot of times it does, not always,
but it does create tension with the thing that,
or person that you're creating a boundary with.
Especially family members, yeah, so it's hard.
My encouragement to you and just like, I keep going,
what's another thing, small or big,
that you can have another boundary on?
Whether it's with yourself, with another person,
a habit, whatever, take that momentum
of building one boundary into another.
Because you are responsible, we are all responsible
for the success of boundaries we place, right?
I love that.
It's putting back into place my rituals,
morning rituals, personal development.
That's great.
Does anybody else have a word of encouragement firsthand?
Like who has also specifically like placed,
has had experience placing a boundary,
new boundary with someone or something that was hard?
I have created many boundaries.
And at first there's tension,
and then it's a calling up of yourself
to stick to your own boundary.
And then a boundary simply teaches somebody
how to treat you.
You're teaching people what you allow,
what you're okay with, what works for you.
And so, and then not to mention when you make a boundary,
there's usually.
tension on the other person because they're not used to it maybe right or they're like wait a
minute you know so even with my own blood sister we've worked on our relationship for the past year
and we have boundaries and there's still a little bit of tension even though we love each other and
actually have communicated about it and understand it and like are on the same page
but I ultimately think it's proved societally how we've become so pleasing and so unhealthy
I think boundaries are very healthy as long as they're helping and not hurting and so I think
Cian yeah no one's knocking on my door at 11 p.m answering emails nope right and so but you
get to teach that so that's what I wanted to say so good job keep it up yeah
does anybody have anything else for Cian before we move on to somebody else
I do want to say Margot put her update I host another yoga and oils retreat on Sunday it was
full again they are beautiful but energetically draining I was worried that this week would be
hard I made sure I prioritized rest and I woke up yesterday actually feeling rested and ready for
the day I'm carrying that feeling with me this week and I'm feeling really excited about all
the things I have going on and I'm less than two months to her time off I'm loving this
so much I'm loving how much rest is in this little message
so just keep it going prioritizing rest and what was great is you got to see the payoff from it
sometimes when we're prioritizing rest it takes a little longer to feel it if you know what I
mean but you got your like you prioritize it and you got to see the like gratification of like oh
I woke up yesterday feeling better I love that I think my encouragement is ask yourself you know
just spend time thinking about why are the retreats draining do you want to be drained in that way
from that thing you know just something to think about
does anybody else have a little encouragement for Margo or not little but encouragement
yeah Margo I want to add on another question which would be what could you do differently
to make it less draining just like one little thing and then and then I'm celebrating the
fact that it's full again that's really huge and like any new skill in the beginning
you're learning what works and what doesn't work and then you get to continually refine it
and decide okay ultimately this is too draining or what's one thing I could add in to make it
less draining until you really kind of land on okay this is something I want to keep repeating
and keep doing so but absolutely celebrating because obviously it took a lot of time effort
and work to just even have your first one and so that's amazing good job Margo
also wanted to say congratulations and I'll just a note of when you start something new
it does take more energy to to get over that hurdle and then after you do it four times
10 times 20 times it's like an autopilot a muscle memory it just comes out of you
so I would just say right now you're having to schedule rest to recover from it but who knows
six months from now you could say hey this is very profitable I'm gonna keep doing it and also
it's like a tenth of draining now than it was to begin with so get good at things whenever
you're incentivized to get good at them
thanks for sharing Christy
yeah getting the house ready for anything is always tiring so what's to go next Erika, Kari
yeah I can go next I've been thinking about actually this is my hesitation is along with
what I've been feeling feeling very uh it's like uncertain or like insecure lately I feel like like
a lot of things that I've tried haven't worked out as expected and even though like I know
that that's just um
You know, that's just part of, of trying things, you know, that's, that's, that's lessons learned and experiences are, are valuable.
Um, but I don't know if I shared, uh, a couple of weeks ago that my, my husband's boss just passed away and, um, he's an artist.
Thank you so much.
Uh, and, uh, since he's going through this career transition, I find myself telling him like, oh, like this is your chance.
Like you like follow your dreams.
You've always wanted to do art, like full time, even though this sad thing has happened, this is like an opportunity for you to really go for it.
And I kind of feel like I've just realized that I don't have that same self-talk to myself.
But like when I have myself, like anytime I try something that doesn't work out, I'm like, oh, how, like, why could you be so, so dumb?
How would you try that when you should have done something else?
So, um, I'm trying to maybe like rework the way that I frame my own, like encouragement, I suppose.
And like taking the mistakes that I've made as like more of like, all right, well you tried something new and that's good.
Like, like good for you for trying and not just staying stuck, you know, and you'll probably have to take a couple of more times of trying and something not working out before you get to the thing that is.
So, um, I'm really happy to be here this afternoon and listening to you all has been really helpful.
And I appreciate the emotional check-in for me to kind of identify what I know I need to work on in the next couple of days, weeks, years.
Yeah.
Thanks for sharing.
Who has a response?
I think my encouragement, Erica, is, you know, you mentioned like sometimes, usually all the time you have to try some things, try a handful of things.
Sometimes a lot of things before you start seeing momentum or seeing success or whatever starts working.
And I just want to like applaud that you've like started like showing up here again in this community.
Because I know there was some time where you weren't.
And I list that, just that concept of like getting back up again and even getting in the space of being around the like-minded people and being in a place that is going to encourage you to move forward.
And I think those actions are so critical to the like, the other actions of like, try again, try again, try again.
Because like this, of like getting in the community, getting in a space, it helps fuel you to do the try again, try again, try again.
You know, having people remind you of the, um, just keep going.
Yeah, so true.
Because when you're alone, it's a lot easier to talk ourselves out of the keep going.
You know, it's tiring. It is.
It can be really draining sometimes.
So I'm really glad you're here.
Sienna, are you online physically or in her business?
Physically.
Physically, I'm in New York.
Oh, okay.
From my experience with trying to get the tacos down, whatever you try first is not going to work.
It's like these like different levers that you have to pull.
And then you have to figure out which levers have to be at which location to get your things to work.
So just an encouragement, like to systematically try it out.
Yeah.
With the assumption that the first thing you do won't be the last thing that you do.
And you will be iterating for all 30 days of your challenge.
And just like go into it, like, how, how can I, you know, get it down to instead of 30 days, 27 days or something like that.
And celebrate every half a percent gain that you get because every half percent is profitability.
Yeah.
That's great advice, Christy. Thank you.
And make notes of your changes and make notes of what happens.
There are a lot of different variables.
So make some notes so you know what's happening.
All right.
Carrie, you no longer get to sit silently.
I think I've just been giving myself permission to feel all the things.
I think there's a quote from Alex Ramosi, and it says, friendly reminder, you're allowed to be stressed, angry, and frustrated.
Frustrated, annoyed, a.k.a. have things generally not go your way and still get shit done.
And that's kind of been where.
where I've been.
Sean and I both came down with a horrible stomach bug.
So that's been since Saturday.
I'm starting to feel better
and Sean's just getting through it.
My dog is sick, so,
and it's the one I named my company after, my brand,
so my heart is...
But, despite that, I get up every day,
I push through, I move the needle.
I was going through, just to speak on Margo,
I've been doing this four years
and I've been doing all the events.
Last year, I double, triple booked, I had employees,
and this year I backed off,
because I got market burnout, that's a real thing.
And it didn't feel good anymore.
And it's funny, market season is back in full swing
and I started getting FOMO.
And then, over the weekend,
I watched everybody else post where they were
and things like that.
And I was like, you know what, I don't miss that.
So it's weird how you go through
this rollercoaster of emotions,
because I was like, I made the commitment
not to do that to myself, because I have burnout,
it stressed me out, it was no longer enjoyable.
It's not really moving the needle in my business.
So it's not creating success or the things
that I needed it to create.
So then I back off, then I'm having FOMO,
then I see everything and I'm like, no, you know what,
I made the right choice.
I want my time freedom.
I don't wanna be doing the long hours,
the long days for what, so.
But yeah, so I think I'm just allowing myself
to be perceptive, feel all the things,
and still get shit done.
It has encouragement.
I just think that's really powerful.
That's what I wrote in the chat, Carrie,
because I think a lot of problems
come from ignoring feelings.
So it's really, truly a skill to be able
to not just acknowledge your feeling,
but name it and then feel it,
and then also not let it keep you in stuck-ville.
So what I'm seeing is you may seem like you look weak
and feel weak, but you seem very powerful to me right now.
And also don't forget 2 Corinthians,
where Paul talks about in his weakness
is when he is most strong,
because it's the power of Christ that rests on him
and not just himself.
So, and I acknowledge all of your feelings,
and I acknowledge what's going on with your dog
and your physical body,
because also when our physical bodies are down,
the mind can go down.
And so really powerful for you to just show up
and just be poised, really,
and just be like, this is where I'm at,
and this is how I feel.
And I think that's a really powerful moment right now.
Thank you for sharing.
Yeah, I have to jump into and say,
Carrie, I was just thinking about you the other day,
because I think you're gonna be at the trip
at the end of the month,
and I'm really excited to see you.
And I really admire so much your integrity
and your honesty and your clarity of where you're going
and your determination in that.
And I was just thinking, honestly,
that if anyone deserves to make it,
it's Carrie, because you show up no matter what
with compassion and you're so kind to everyone,
and you're doing all of the work,
you're doing all of the hard work,
and you're gonna get there, girl,
and it's gonna be amazing.
And I'm so excited to see the wonderful place
that you land.
And I'm excited to see the wonderful place
you'll land at the end of May,
which is gonna be close to where I'm landing, too.
Yeah, Carrie, it's hard when your dogs,
your animals, your pets, your little fur babies
are not doing well for one reason or another.
It's an emotional thing.
Like, it's deep.
So I love that you're still getting shit done,
but I also wanna give you permission to have days
where you don't get shit done.
And that doesn't mean that you're falling off
the bandwagon, you know, or procrastinating,
or avoiding it.
Like, sometimes, I just want you to know that.
Like, if you have a day where you're like,
my energy's really low, I'm physically.
really low. Like I, you know, I'm feeling a lot of sadness or a lot of whatever.
And I just need the day to have the space to just sit and feel it.
I think that's OK, too.
So just know that if you need to hear that, just know it's OK to do that also.
Yeah, it doesn't mean that you won't reach your goals if you do that.
Well, guys, so my encouragement overall for this next week
as we are reading the book is just continue to maybe think about what we talked.
I'm like, if you were to give yourself a challenge,
I'm not saying you have to give yourself a challenge like a 30 day challenge.
But even if it's like for one day, what's that thing that came up in your mind
that you probably could do or would benefit from?
If you did it even just one day, just to practice, like doing something
that you know you need.
And taking action on something that you know you need.
And then, yeah, we'll kick off
the next week, but close next week.
Yeah. Any lingering thoughts or questions before we head out?
I wrote in the chat, but where do you actually get the actual book from?
Because it's not available on Amazon.
I thought on Amazon, but I guess it was with Kindle or audio book.
So you can get it from your library.
Like I saw at least my local library had it as an e-book.
I have the Libby app, which is, you know, gets connected to the library app.
It's connected to your local library.
So that's where I checked it out from.
And then there's a physical book that you can also
get as well. So I'm not sure if any.
Where did if you guys ordered the physical book, where did you order from?
If anybody did that.
I got it. I got mine from Amazon.
Amazon. OK.
Yeah, they don't have it right now.
I got audio. I will check out my library.
Yeah, do that.
All righty, guys, I will see you all in one week.
Have a good week. Thank you. Bye bye.
