you
Yeah, I'm like panicking
Are you guys I
Was in the waiting room and I think I hit the wrong link or something
I don't know what's going on. So I'm glad to be here. No, you weren't I was running to grab all my vitamins
I
Wanted to not forget to take
Grab something too. So but can you put the link to this in the chat?
Because I don't have it saved on my iPad
I was trying to get in from my iPad and I have like the old link saved on there
And I can never like copy it from the app
And it's all on the calendar this for me
Thank you
Yeah, the calendar should have the updated link as well
Yeah that in the events tab if you ever need another place to look
For some reason I can never get it to copy from like just it just opens
I'm like, I want to copy it. I don't want to open it. I don't know why
All right
Well, I'm thinking that we will do
Book clubs portion for the second half
And let's I don't know. What do you think? Do you prefer to do a second half or first half? I
Actually forgot to read it until I remembered this morning and didn't have time. So
Totally up to you guys I
Haven't read it yet. I did download it and I have it in my app and I did order it
Okay. Well, maybe we'll delay starting it then we'll delay starting a week if you guys have a chance. It doesn't take long
I was listening to it this morning while I was getting ready. Um
The chapters are really short
Like most of them are like six minute chapters nine minutes to listen to
There was one longer one. So it's not a super long read
So, yeah, it'll be pretty easy to get through I think I got through the introduction and first nine chapters in like an hour
Ish maybe a little more
So
I'll wait for my Kayla. Come on so I can see if she's read
I'm watching my kids on the beach. So
No worries. We were just saying that we might delay starting the book club portion for a week just because
Margo and Tina both have a book that they haven't read yet
So I just want to make sure one has a chance to get started before we do like any book club discussion. I got it
Yeah, I listened to the audio of the first nine chapters. But yeah, that's mine
I don't know if anybody else had any issue but um
The office hours is it doesn't it's not showing up on my calendar in inner circle for events
Okay
Mine either I'd like I had to go back into June to like find a link for it
I know I saw last week. Nobody showed so I don't know if that might have been why
Yeah, I had to find a replay to
Put some on my calendar
To check on that later
Cool thanks for letting me know. All right. Well, how's everyone doing? Let's go around
Give us a little update on how you're doing this last week, good, the bad, the ugly, hopefully, or maybe just the good, the great, the adequate. I don't know.
Yeah, let me know how you're doing. Let's go 1st.
I can go ahead and Margaret.
Hang on, I'm going to.
Join on my iPad, I think.
Okay, I'll go.
Enjoying the sunshine, so that's beautiful.
Getting work done, I finished my summit funnel.
I had some adjustments to my, the way the form is showing up on my mobile.
Which was a little challenging, but I think it's good.
So, we launched the funnel, we're getting my business partner, summit partner is, she's more in charge of, like, getting speakers.
And I really want us to even speak on the summit, but I guess she's not doing anything like that right now.
So, we're just reaching out to speakers right now and just trying to line up speakers and I'm more involved with the registration and building.
And I guess my next part, the 2 things that I want to get completed this week, and I'm super, I'm going to back up, I'm super excited that it's launched.
It's ready, it's built, and, like, I want to focus on, like, last week, I wrote, wanted to share this in the AI community, I did my own commercial, or my own, like, animated ad.
I did, made the song in Suno, and then I, you know, I did all the animations, and I think it's called AI Artist, or something like that.
And I love it, it's just, like, so good, but it's just too long, and I'm just trying to, like, I'm, the challenge is, like, going, taking it back into Suno and get the same song, but shorter, but it won't, I can't figure out how to do it.
And then redo it, so that it's, like, an AI ad, or just, you know, 30, 40 seconds, like that, but that's, like, really fun, creative for me.
And then the other thing is copying it to target it towards real estate agents.
I have a list of 50,000 real estate agents, so just putting together, you know, copying the funnel and kind of gearing it towards agents and giving them a bonus.
So it's going to be put between, you know, in front of 50,000 people, registration, and so that's exciting.
But I'm at the point, like, almost to the point where, like, I can focus on more of, like, the registration process, and instead of just focusing on the tech.
And so that's, that's exciting to be almost done with my funnels, and the emails and everything.
Yeah.
So you can get people in your summit, too.
Yeah.
So.
Cool.
Love that.
Thanks for the update.
Who wants to go next?
Mario, you want to go next?
Since you sat back down?
Yep.
Sorry, I was listening and getting a snack.
Apparently, we're out of milk.
So the tea that I was trying to make is, like, can't happen right now.
It's summer break, and apparently it's chaos.
Um, so I launched my summer series, like, a week, two weeks ago, a week, I can't even remember, like, right at the end of June.
So I guess that's almost, it's like a week, almost exactly.
And I have two people signed up for the whole series.
So that's really exciting.
And I, basically, I'm just trying to, like, get my bearings.
I'm trying, like, I, I'm not working my full time job anymore.
Which is super exciting, but also, like, it simultaneously feels like a sigh of relief, but also like a lot of pressure to, like, figure it out.
Because I am getting married in August.
So right now the pressure is coming externally from people being like, like, about the wedding planning.
What's, you know, what's happening?
When's blah, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm like, just give me, like, I know I'm not working anymore, but just give me a minute.
I need a minute.
So I'm feeling like a lot of, we need to do this, we need to do this, from external people.
And I'm like, I just need to like catch my breath for one second.
So that's kind of where I'm at right now.
I have tons of like plans rolling around in my head for how I want to build an online
training portal or presence or something to go with my in-person workshops that I'm doing.
And I need to sit down and do some planning around that.
So I've done some like initial, like, these are my thoughts.
And I'm kind of working on like what that would look like.
So I jumped into the business accelerator that's happening right now.
And I brought it up in last week's meeting.
And Steven was like, I would sell, as he always says, he's like, I would sell it before you
build it.
I was like, classic Steven.
So basically, he was like, offer up like a webinar, go through some of the basics, and
then say, like, I would like to build out like this and see what the like gauge the
interest from the webinar.
And I'm like, I but I already know the interest is there.
So I mean, I, I can absolutely do that.
But I don't think that'll happen until after the wedding, I'm thinking because I just think
there's too many things happening right now trying to be realistic with my time.
But yeah, that's where I'm at.
Mostly I'm working on marketing, the events that I have currently scheduled and planned
and posted, and also working on just like sales through my network marketing business,
because there's a huge income potential there.
Also.
So that's where I'm at.
It's kind of chaotic right now.
But
Yeah, okay.
Good.
A little bit of an adjustment period.
Yeah.
Michaela, how are you doing?
I'm good.
I don't know if it's not like super loud for you guys, because it's very windy.
Um, Margo, I was thinking, so I listened to the first nine chapters of the book this morning.
And I feel like it's gonna be really beneficial for you to do that.
Because, like, he literally says, like, write all the questions down that people ask and
then build around that.
So like what Stephen was saying with like the webinar, you could literally host something
and be like, what are the questions that you have?
And then when you build your course, you answer all those questions.
I don't know, just what I was thinking when you were talking, I wanted to clear that.
I'm just celebrating that I'm, I've been on vacation for 10 days, and we're still working.
So
I got, yeah, I had, I mean, I had calls, you know, while I was here and stuff actually
had, it made me feel better when I logged into the group and saw Gabby where you had
posted like, hey, nobody's on the work or on the office hours, like, I'm gonna close
it in five minutes or whatever, because my call this week, no one showed up for.
And it was so strange, because I've had like good attendance, and everybody had said they
were coming.
And I, after I closed out, like 30 minutes later, I had several messages, apparently,
there was like a ton of storms hitting everyone else but me.
And so everybody was having internet issues.
Literally three of the girls were like, one of them was like, I got stuck at the gym and
like a storm hits, I had to wait for it to pass.
And then two of the other ones were like the storm knocked out my internet.
So I mean, we're rescheduling, but it made me feel better that they know showed for a
reason and not just not showed up.
But yeah, also, this morning, when I was doing scrolling, before I got up, there was like
a famous pastor that I mean, legitimately, he could have, he could have found my course
and and posted it in his sermon, because he even used like the Venn diagram and everything
like his wording was different.
And he like cited some different Bible verses and stuff, which is like cool and beneficial.
But I sent it to my husband, and I was like, has he watched my course?
He's literally teaching it in a sermon this past Sunday.
So that was kind of cool.
So I think that's a use it for future content.
But yeah, my idea is working to kind of rebuild my whole Instagram structure to try to figure
out a better system for that.
So yeah.
Yeah.
Um, shoot, I have a question.
This keeps happening lately, guys, or I'm gonna ask a question as soon as I open my
mouth, it disappears.
Oh, no, it wasn't a question.
And I was going to say, because I was going to piggyback off what Michaela was saying to you, Margot, that there's a chapter where he goes over, like, what is the, they ask and you answer and like, some questions that he comes, like, that he has found that universally is being asked by consumers, like, the information they want.
You can do the same thing.
I have something on my teeth.
I think I got it.
Let me know if I get blueberry in my teeth as I drink my smoothie.
Um, for the people asking about your wedding, so you could compile the questions that people are asking and then create your answer that you then can just like, save to, like, as a template and say, here's the answer.
Here's the answer and you can update it from, like, week to week, depending on how your work.
Like, if you're like, I'm just taking a minute, that's your answer for this week.
And then maybe next week it changes, but that's a good way to, like, take some of the, like.
Pressure off and people get an answer, you know, it's like, you don't have to blow them off either.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
I, um, I think it's because we're having the wedding on our property.
So there's a lot of prep and like his parents and my parents are both helping.
And so there's been a lot of like, what do we need to do?
And they have ideas in their head of what they need to do.
It's not always exactly what we want done.
And so it's, it's a lot to do around that.
And I think now that I'm off and anyways, we've had a couple of things going on in our lives that
were preventing us from putting all of our focus.
And I think they're trying to avoid the last minute, like we need to do all of these things in
this last week, which no one's planning to do, but yeah, mostly it's mostly it's that it's like,
what's the prep that still needs to happen, but it's, it's happening.
It's like, it's progressing.
And I'm not, I worry about some things like that kind of thing is not something I worry about.
It'll all be fine.
Yeah.
I think that'll be helpful.
Um, Michaela, let me know what you think about this.
Cause at first I was going to be like, let's wait to do week one next week.
But I actually think what if we still do week one today and then next week still do just, we'll
just do normal schedule partially because week one was very, um, it was like the whole thing was
introduction.
You know, there's like introduction in the first nine chapters.
It kind of felt like the whole thing was introduction.
I don't know.
I don't know if Michaela, if you're still listening, but if you have an opinion on that.
Um, yeah, I mean, I think that's, I think that, um, a lot of it was introduction.
I think that there was like maybe a couple of chapters, maybe like two, three chapters where I
felt like it was like more like strategic, like things that I need to actually do where it was
like, you said, like list out all the questions that your audience has, um, and answer them
like, you know, on your website, you know, he was talking about a website and then he talked
about, um, uh, like all of their life concerns, writing all those out to you so you can like
fix those, I guess.
But yeah, I do think a lot of it was introduction, so it might be kind of redundant to
then do it again next week.
Yeah, cause I have some questions, like some things I actually wanted us to do a couple of
things on the call today and we could still do them even without you guys answering.
So, um, I'll give like an overview of the beginning.
So he, he talked a little bit about his story and what was funny, it was not at all what I was
expecting, but he, um, he basically started in like the pool industry.
Like he worked for his, two of his really close friends who owned a business and this was back in
like earlier 2000s, um, and they were doing really well.
And then 2008, 2009 hit big housing crash.
And so therefore their pool industry basically crashed as well.
Um, their pool business.
And so he started, um, he kind of went on a deep dive with marketing.
I can't remember all the specifics at the moment.
And he just started figuring out that people are asking all these questions and, or he
learned it about himself because he was like, at that time we really started to transition
into, we all can go to Google.
We all can go to the internet and find our own answers and do our own research and make our
own decisions instead of leaning on listening to somebody as an expert as, as much.
Um, so he was just talking about that whole shift and just consumerism and how we make
decisions when we shop.
Um, and so he was like observing himself and like, what questions am I trying to
answer?
Um, anyway, so he figured out those questions are pretty much the same for every
industry.
It doesn't matter.
Everyone's asking the same type of question.
So, um, one thing that I wanted to point out that I was laughing about in chapter three
is he's basically saying that you're not different, like your business is not different.
And I was laughing.
Because in branding, when you're talking about branding,
the whole idea is like, how are you unique?
How are you setting yourself apart?
Which is absolutely true.
But the angle that he was coming at from,
with you're not different is that we're all,
well, I don't know, Michaela,
maybe you can have like more better words for this.
But the way I was taking it at least was,
you're not different in the sense of like,
you're not special in the problems you're facing.
You're not, you know,
or the goals necessarily kind of that you have,
or I don't know.
It was just funny because I was like,
we're all on the playing field
and we all have to figure out how to talk to our audience.
You know what I mean?
How to market all those things.
We all have that same problem.
Michaela, let me know if you had like a different
like interpretation of that chapter.
Yeah, no, I thought, yeah, I liked that too.
Because he was, basically it was like,
I think the words he used were kind of like,
you know, when he was like trying to teach
the strategy to people,
but like the biggest thing they say is like,
well, yeah, I mean, that works great for like that industry,
but like my business is different.
And he was just basically saying like,
no, your business is not different.
Like that will be like the biggest downfall is
if you think that your business is different,
that this won't work for it.
But like in reality,
the system will work for all businesses
because in every business,
the consumers have questions and they have concerns.
And if you can figure out how to address
all those platforms,
and also like calm their nerves around all their concerns,
then like you have a strategy,
like regardless of the market.
So he, yeah, that's perfect.
So he was saying that his whole day, ask, you answer
framework starts with the brainstorming process.
So that's actually something that I wanted to do today.
Because if you have something to write on,
or if you have your phone
or wherever you want to take notes,
I do want us to take a few minutes right now
to at least get started on this.
And basically you're literally just brainstorming
all of the questions that you've heard,
whether you've read it or heard it audibly
or thought it yourself about your industry,
like with industry or products and services
that you are involved in.
What are all the questions or worries or concerns
or objections that you've heard?
And we're just gonna make a list for right now.
It's all we're doing is making a list.
And I would, we're just gonna spend a few minutes
right now doing it,
but I would highly recommend spending more time later,
maybe doing some more research
to find more answers than what you can think of right now.
But I'm gonna do like maybe three or four minutes.
On the clock.
And then we'll see what you guys get from there.
Like fine.
Is it questions that would be like objections
or questions like legitimately about how something works?
I would say both.
So yeah, so the example that he gave I thought was like,
when he started like this concept,
he was working in the pool industry.
And he just made, he wrote notes about like the questions
that customers asked him
when he was trying to sell them a pool.
Like what are all the questions that, you know,
they asked him about buying a pool, financing,
how to put it in, all that stuff.
And he just made a list of like all those questions.
And those were what he needed to answer.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't know where the timer is anymore.
So I'll just do it on my phone.
But we'll just take a few minutes to do it.
And see what you guys come up with.
Okay.
Sorry, I just realized I wasn't muted.
Okay.
I went to cough and then I looked at the screen and then I paused,
it's not really one that's even that embarrassing.
All right guys. So let's see what you got. Margot,
why don't you go first? Tell us what kind of questions you got.
So I struggled a little bit at first because I was like,
which part of my business am I talking about or thinking about or wondering
about. But, um,
I think the questions that I came up with kind of apply to both, um,
um, cause it's sort of similar.
So a lot of questions that I get already is more around like people ask me,
like, how do you do that? Um,
whether it's like homesteading, baking, gardening,
essential oil knowledge, like that's the biggest,
the biggest question I get. Um,
and then another one I get is how do you know all of this or how do you have
all of this knowledge or information? Um,
where and where or how did you learn?
A lot of people wonder if they need some kind of formal training,
like for essential oils. They're like,
do I need to be an aromatherapist? It's like, no, you don't have to. Um,
and then a lot of questions around like, what do I need to,
what do I need to have to start doing the thing?
So like a lot of people think they need to go out and buy all kinds of
supplies or whatever, which is usually not the case. Um,
so like what items do I need? A lot of questions around cost.
Is it expensive? Um,
and then do you need to be like good in the kitchen?
That one's more around like cooking or baking or something. And again,
the answer is no, like you're learning process.
So that's what I came up with. I'm sure I'm missing tons.
Okay. That's a good start. Really good start. Yeah. Michaela,
what did you come up with?
Unless you're.
No, you're fine. I had to find out.
um so I don't know I was kind of struggling too because mostly because
what I'm building is so new but I don't have a lot of
questions examples um so I actually like went to CHLD because
it helped me build like my whole program so I was like
this is what I'm trying to do like give me a list of all the questions
you know some because my program is faith-based so like some faith-based but
some business related um and it gave me you know a long list
but some of the things like stood out to me
were let me switch back to my list um some things that I've like actually
heard was like you know because my program teaches like
how do you use your like god-given talents to like generate income
so you know one of them was like what if I don't know what my gifts are
um a big one I hear is like you know people feel guilty for like
charging for their god-given gifts you know
um and then
um like what if I don't know how to start if I've never run a business before
and then also like I didn't really know I kind of had a separate list because
you know I have the program that I'm offering like in the workshop which is
the Aligned Income Collective which is like the full week course but then I
have like the workshop which is what I'm would actually be like posting about on
my social media so like I feel like the questions need to
be more focused around that just to get people in the room and then
the questions for the Aligned Income needs to kind of be like inside the
workshop I guess um
one of the questions that came up was is this workshop just a sales pitch for a
paid program and that I think that's like something
that like I really struggle with because I mean it is but like and I know a lot
of like the workshops like the free workshops I
sign up for like they'll say like this isn't a sales pitch and then you go
there I mean it always is typically you know
uh when it's a free workshop like that so I feel like that's something that I
struggle with and I need to find an answer to be able to provide
that answer because I want to be like honest and forthcoming but also I don't
want to like steal them away like I did when I reworked my workshop this time
like I literally like in the very beginning
was very transparent and said like there is an offer at the end
you can take it if you want to it's not like you will absolutely
walk away with this you know from this workshop having gained knowledge so
that was something I did different in this workshop that I felt I felt better
about it less like a car salesman yeah
okay so what I want us to do now is just we're going to start to categorize
these so again this will be something you do more later so
in chapter nine he gives an overview of the basically five types of questions or
five types of content subjects as he says
and they are pricing and cost is the first one
I think he says versus like when you're like versus like
this person versus this person I think and problems
is the second one compare comparisons is number three
you can't talk three number four is reviews
and then number five is best in class so best in class would be like
what is it about your product or service that is like superior or is like
your feature that is unique or sets you apart at least that's how
I'm interpreting that I think the one thing that I'm having a
hard time with Caleb maybe you have an answer for this is what are like what
would be the major differences between number two and three because number two
is like problems and then number three is comparison so I'm
kind of like I'm not entirely sure what
that the difference is but we don't have to have all the answers today
but what I want to do is basically start trying to take your
questions and categorize like maybe make a note
beside them or you could reorder them relist them if you want
into where does this question fall and if you're not sure that's okay just put
it where you suspect it might go because as we get more into the book it
will give us more information to make to
better categorize them but at least start now so
from the questions you have find where they fit
into like where you're like the answer that that question would demand
where does it fit in these five types so for instance Mario yours I heard a
lot of like probably problems and cost but
you might also want to or be spurred to think that oh someone might have
questions in this other area this other category
and then Michaela for you one thing I was thinking of
is probably a lot of problems because you're guiding people through identity
so they have a lot of questions around you know like how do they do something
and then
but also think for you would be like,
there might be a lot of comparison questions
and like what's different about you
versus some other option that they can look at.
So let's also take about three to four minutes
just to get started on that.
And then we'll see where we get.
Yeah, I mean, will you give me a list again?
Yeah, I was thinking that too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So number one is pricing and cost.
Number two is versus and problems.
Number three is comparison.
Four is reviews and five is best in class.
How does somebody ask something that's a review?
Like about your, like, if you have reviews?
So I would say, I mean, I guess that's a little hard
because someone might not ask,
but they might ask for like what outcomes
have other people had when they-
Oh, okay.
And so therefore that is where having testimonials
and reviews is important because it answers that question.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
I had more upbeat music this time.
I don't even remember there being music last time.
Oh, maybe it was too quiet.
Can you hear this?
No.
I thought we-
Did you, I was about to say,
did you hear what you're saying?
I can hear like sounds.
Oh, I can hear it now.
Okay.
All right, where did you get? Margot, why don't you start?
Okay, so pretty much all of the things that I said previously, I think were either one or two, like you said.
The one where I said how do you know all of this info, I put like two slash four, so like problem and or reviews, because sometimes people, it's more of like they're challenging me.
So if I have review like feedback from people saying that they've learned X, Y, Zed, that kind of proves that and then I actually added some questions that answer.
Well, not answer, but you know what I mean? I added some questions. So one of them is kind of like, why should I come to your event when I can just learn this online?
What I think would probably be a big one. And I have lots of answers for that.
I want to hear, give me one, give me one example of an answer.
Because you've got like hands on experience with somebody guiding you every step of the way, which I think you can get a lot of the information online, but it's not the same as actually physically doing it in person.
Yep, I think.
And then another thing that I've gotten from people is like, I used to do that, or my mom used to do that, or, and that one I put under three under comparison, because I'm thinking like, they're comparing what I'm offering to their previous experience and thinking like, I don't know if it's worth it.
And again, I feel like I would have an answer to that. And then in a similar fashion, someone who says like, I've tried that before. And I'm thinking like, making jam or making sourdough or something like I've tried that before. And like, it didn't go well.
They're like, so I don't want to try again. But again, having a like actual teacher and hands on experience and all of that can definitely help with their success. So I put that under four also, because other people having positive experiences helps them gain confidence and like making that decision to make the purchase.
And then just other people asking also, like, what, what have other people done? Right? Like, what are people other people who like, and they maybe they wouldn't ask me directly for that. But they might go to like the website or go somewhere and like, look for reviews or like testimonials or things like that. So, yep.
Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, all of this is going to get transferred into some type of content creation, or when you are using marketing language, or if you're, you know, in your webinars, and you're selling the next thing, you know, this is kind of language that we're going to build off of. So that's great. All right, Michaela, you are
I'm going to go back to my notes. Um, so for cost, I had several, but I just kind of picked one from each list. For cost, I had how much, how much time does this realistically take each week? Because I mean, for moms like time is just cost, right? I mean, I heard one is only $44. So it's really not like a huge, massive investment.
For bursting in problems, I had, is it wrong to want financial success as a Christian woman? For comparison, I had what makes this different from other find your purpose programs? For reviews, I chose what results have other women actually gotten from this? And for best in class, I said, why should I press you to help me find my God given gifts over someone else in this space?
Yeah, that's awesome. Those are good. So we're going to continue to expand on these. I definitely would say come into next week having a pretty comprehensive kind of list if you will, because I think that will help us because I would love to take each session that we meet and do something do an exercise of some source. That's what I'm looking for. Of course, you can always do it on your own time if you don't come and you haven't read not a huge deal.
So that was a good start. So let's kind of we have like 10 minutes or so left. So I want to hear I want to hear like an ask that you guys have because I want to be aware of like.
What do you guys have going on that you want support on that you have needs on or and also just to be like supporting you like emotionally and mentally like empowering you. So, if you haven't asked for a need.
Well, I guess I guess they're all individualized but and my mentorship is ending.
soon in a couple weeks, I guess. So I'm like trying to figure out I reached out to Jen, because I knew hers was probably ending soon too. So just kind of figure out like
What, what I needed to do to like, utilize, you know, I like to utilize my time so make sure that like the time that I have left is utilized and I have a plan for how to continue this once my mentorship ends. That's the main thing like on my mind right now.
Any ideas on that Margo, what would you do
Um, I guess, is that the like mentorship one on one, like with Stephen.
I think it depends where it would depend where I am in my business like if the mentorship is ending and that means that there's no more access to any Rainmaker anything like as soon as it's done, I think I would evaluate where I am in my business and if I can carry that going forward myself, or if I still feel like I'm going to need guidance.
So she will still have membership, so she'll still be here.
Okay. Okay. Yeah. Well, then, knowing that I think like same same thing really like knowing where you're at in your business and how much building you still have and what is going to be the best way to use your time, which I know that that's kind of what you're asking but like evaluate what's available.
How many more times can you meet with Stephen before you're done or talk to him or whatever, because I feel like those are always really valuable opportunities.
That's pretty much it. I sent him a message and was like, what do I need to do.
So we're meeting on Monday. So we'll, we'll see what he what do you think going forward.
I would, if it were me, I would, I would almost like tell ask him to give you a challenge. So we're like, Okay, I've got this much time left like what some of the craziest things that you can ask me to do because Stephen
I like that.
It's crazy. We all know crazy. Yeah, so in the best way, but
You know, he's gonna he's always going to take you further than you think he will. So I would maybe ask and see what comes out of his mouth.
But
Yeah, so I'm, I'm going to definitely ask him that because I'll have like two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten questions.
And I'm like, I'm going to ask him to give me a challenge.
Wednesday, like I come home tomorrow and then a week later, I leave to go out west. It's coming to your vicinity, not north of your vicinity.
But yeah, so I'm going to definitely ask him that because I'll have like two and a half weeks left with him. So, and obviously, I mean, when I go out of town. I don't stop working or just keeps happening somewhere else.
Where are you going.
Um, we're going to be fine.
Blimey, and then we're staying in Idaho. So we're kind of in between Greensea town and Yellowstone
Okay, so I spent like a couple nights this week like planning the entire I created a PDF
For the entire itinerary because I like to have a plan. I just see myself. I want to see. I need it all scheduled out
Yeah, I think that might be called control freak. I'm not sure.
Okay, cool. Well, Mario, what is an F or a need that you have
Um,
I have many
I don't need to list them all here. But one thing that I would like to
Start to try to figure out is the whole like KDP process because I have a lot of ideas about things that would work really well with KDP. And I think that that
Like some of them I could probably get done.
Hmm, relatively quickly. I just don't know. And I know there's a training that I can access and I like went and like started looking at it briefly.
But is there anybody that's done it that
Like if I have a because I'm more of like I have a question now and I'm working on it now and like sometimes I'm like, okay, so
Sometimes the videos don't have the answers.
So I guess, like, what's my best resource for when I'm in it
and I have a question about, like, how something works?
So I know Vicky Blank, who's also in membership,
just launched on KDP a few weeks ago.
So you could reach out to her.
I know there's a handful of other people.
I just can't think of anybody.
I just happened to meet with Vicky yesterday,
so it's fresh on my mind.
So I would, you could just send her a message
or potentially email, um, Michaela.
So, uh, yes, I would, I would reach out to her.
That would be the best place.
And then otherwise, ChatGPT or YouTube, honestly.
Yeah, and I think, like, I do use ChatGPT a lot,
but sometimes I don't think about it for, like, how to.
I use it to, like, help me or, because my thoughts are,
I always describe myself as organized chaos,
which, like, light on the organized, heavy on the chaos.
Like, Michaela, when you said you made a PDF for your trip,
I was like, I don't even have a friggin' PDF for my wedding.
Hilarious.
And people, this is the thing.
People are, like, want, like, a plan.
They're expecting, like, a book or a plan or a blah.
And I'm like, it just all is, like, living in my head.
So I also, I mean.
If you do not have my PDF for my wedding in 2017,
I can send it to you.
You can just, like, fill it out.
Sure, send it to me.
I will.
I will use it.
I do have, like, I started something in Canva
because I, like, incorporated some, like, inspiration
and some colors and some whatever.
So speaking of which, my mother-in-law is calling.
I'll answer that later.
But yeah, it's just funny.
Like, people have so many questions
and I'm, like, a little bit, like,
it's my wedding, back off, let me figure it out.
But also I know they're trying to be helpful.
So I'm like, I should really think about the things
that I could, like, delegate to other people.
So, yeah, that would be good.
So that was kind of also an ask,
but, like, wasn't expecting you to be like,
I have a thing for that.
Yeah, PDF and drafting the,
they ask you answer message of the week.
Like, here's your answer.
You can pull them.
This is, like, the automated message.
So that's what I would do, honestly.
Okay, Michaela, you have another ask.
What is that?
Well, I was just gonna tell you that,
in my mind, I've kind of been thinking to do, like,
trying to figure out the right word to word it.
I reached out to Danielle and kind of told her, like,
I think it would be cool, like,
I could come into her community
and she could come into my community kind of thing.
And I feel like there's a lot of other brain makers
that are creating communities that we could piggyback off.
Like, I mean, honestly, like,
I think that my community would love something
more than it might have to offer,
and maybe vice versa.
I mean, mine's more Christian-based, so maybe not.
But if there's any others, I mean, that you know of,
because I know you meet with a lot of people individually,
like, that would be something,
if they're ever looking for something like that,
like, I think that would be cool.
I mean, we have the community,
it would be cool to be able to do that for each other.
Yeah, I think that would be really cool.
Yeah.
I always love when, like, the brain makers
bring, like, the best person in.
Like, some of, like, the coolest thing,
like, some of the coolest content I've gotten
has been just someone running down that came in,
like, the lady that taught, like, the breathing exercises
to release your nerves or whatever.
Like, I mean, I literally use that in my program
because it's just, it was, like, a game changer for me.
So I feel like stuff like that is just so useful.
But, like, just, like, throw in, like,
some bonus content for your community as well.
Yeah, I would start by, I mean, just posting.
I know not everyone pays attention to the group,
but at least start posting.
And then I think in here, in office hours,
is a good place to try to do that
because you have an idea of everyone's business or service,
so you know if you can actually be a fit for that.
But we could maybe brainstorm other ways to do that as well.
So I think that'd be a good one.
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, it kind of bridges, so I do have an announcement.
So we are gonna be doing a special workshop
on August 4th, I think is the date.
So I'll actually be out of town,
so I'm not gonna be there.
But either Steven or you, Clive,
is going to come in and do a special training.
So I have some topics that we will vote on
probably next week, just depending on who's here,
or maybe we'll vote anyways.
And then depending on the topic that gets voted,
it'll be either one of them coming in
to do a special one hour or so training.
Sometimes they go a little long, you know how they are.
Is that during office hours?
It'll be during office hours, not anything, no new special time, it'll just be during office hours.
And then, and we're actually going to do two, so we'll do August 4th as the first one, and then we'll schedule another one probably in August still.
And do the other, maybe like top loaded topics, so just keep an eye on those dates coming up.
And we'll go over possible options next week.
Cool. Yeah. Any questions?
My dad also just called, so I don't know what's going on in the world today, but people want to talk to me.
Questions, but I, just Michaela, on your note about, like, sharing knowledge and time and people and stuff, like, I don't know if anything that I offer would be useful to anybody else, but I would also love to do that.
That's something that I've done in my, like, network marketing business.
Having other leaders come and share their story or their experience, just from a business perspective or from, like, a testimonial perspective can be really valuable when someone in your community, like, has a struggle, I'm just going to say, like, a problem, I guess, that, like, they might answer with their experiences.
So I would totally be down for that, too. I'm not sure, I don't have a community. I do. I don't have a community around my, like, homesteading stuff yet.
Yeah, no, I am. Well, so, my business is, you know, teaching Christian women how to use their gifts to, like, build income. So, like, literally, I mean, obviously not everybody in the Rainmaker community is, like, Christian-based, but, like, majority women who use their gifts to, like, build businesses, like, all of them align perfectly for me, but, like, I always, like, try to choose.
I want to ask somebody that, like, I can offer something to them, too, you know, like, I don't want to invite people to come see from my community if I can't, like, get anything in return, I guess, I can say.
Yeah.
Obviously, I'm not, like, most of us are not in the position where we're trying to, like, pay people to come, like, be guests in person.
Yeah. Well, and I do have a rather large, like, network marketing community that is a big business also, so there's definitely opportunity, like, I feel like I have lost lots of opportunity to do that kind of sharing. So, when you get to a point where you're doing that, let me know.
All right, guys. So, I'm going to hop to a call, but read the book. We will be going through chapter 10, I don't know, one second, 10 through 24 next week. So, yeah, be back here or see you on our one-on-one call.
Tomorrow.
Have a good week.
