All right, welcome back.
You guys are troopers, double, what do they call this in baseball, double hitter or something
like that, right?
Double feature or something.
So glad to be back here.
So this is office hours.
This is where I make myself available.
We roll up our sleeves, whatever, whatever you need support in.
So thinking about what we just did in the previous call, we went up the mountain of
Mount Nebo and we asked God, what do you see?
And that's something you can keep going, keep going deeper with.
What do you see?
And then we began to imagine that it's September 30th.
Those of you that are listening in real time right now, it's August 6th.
You can apply this any time.
I'm particularly focusing on September because it is one of the 35 years in business.
It's one of the best years, best months of the year.
I've seen it.
People re-engage.
You can see it in your own life, like Amanda, right?
Your daughter goes back to school.
You start going, okay, I got till the end of this year, I got to make this, like that's
the common consensus.
And so people are really focusing on their business.
They're re-engaging, they're getting coaches, they're making health decisions, they're making
relationships, like it's just that time.
So very profitable.
It was always when I ran a network marketing company, we could just count on when I started
coaching in 2012, we could just count on it.
It's a great month.
So I am particularly in this time, those of you that are here in real time, I'm particularly
focused on coming alongside, equipping and empowering each of you.
So that September 30th is a really big celebration, okay?
And so anybody that might be listening to this recording, because I know it'll be in
the vault, that doesn't mean that none of this applies after, because the next big month
you all know is January, it's New Year's resolutions, and so January, February becomes really important.
So I'm always going glory to glory, but the Bible says in wisdom, and it talked about
the sons of Issachar, that they understood the times and the seasons and they knew what
to do.
And so for us, it's very important in business, you understand the times and seasons and you
know what to do, right?
And it's the same if you're a farmer, you understand the times and the seasons.
And you know, like I know when the weather is like, oh, okay, we're past the first freeze,
I better get my garden in, right, and plant those flowers or whatever, like you understand
that there's a season for everything.
And you know, I'm going to harvest in that summer, and then okay, let me get my fall
crops in, right?
So you understand that business is the same way.
And so the principles I'm teaching you are good all year long, right?
Clearly, it doesn't have an expiration date.
But there's a certain there's certain seasons that you put a intensity in to prepare for
that season.
And so August is super, super important, preparing for September, and then September, going all
out.
So we talked about not from a place of pressure, not from a place of striving, not a place
from stress, right?
And looking at what's the mindset that I need to have for this season?
What's the mindset?
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, the resources will show up, I'm going
to keep working, God is my source, I'm going to do my part.
You know, I have on my wall, Psalms 25, verse four and five, I have it on my wall so I can
look at it as I'm meditating every morning, and it says, show me your ways, Lord.
Teach me your paths, guide me in your truth.
And teach me for you are God, my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
So it's that constant prayer, okay?
Show me your ways, teach me.
Teach me. Okay. All right. So what's the mindset I need right now?
So if there's anything you need support around the mindset, let's talk about it. If you say,
I, I'm great, but I just keep thinking that blah, blah, blah. Okay. Mindset skill set.
What's the skill set that I need for this next season? Okay. Before I launched my
sub stack, it was like, there's so much I need to understand about the system,
about what's working. Cause there's a lot of like hidden levers in there. Um,
and so before I ever launched it, I spent a lot of time preparing and learning and
understanding and studying. And, um, that's part of what I want to condense for you guys. Um,
so it was like a new skill set I needed. I didn't even know how to find my way around it. It was
just, it's new technology for me. Okay. So, and it could be anything. What's the skill set. I don't
know how to follow up. What's the skill set. I don't know how to invite effectively or what's
the skill set. I don't know how to make an offer. Uh, that's irresistible or what's the
skill set, right? You understand like mindset skill set. What's the skill set I need for
September 30th to look the way I feel God is showing that it can look what's the mindset.
What's the skill set. What's the actions. What's the next right action. I'm completely committed
to what I've taught you all about the morning spiritual practice. I go from my golden hour with
God, right. Into my hour on social reaching out my miracle hour of reaching out and doing that
on sub sack right now in a really beautiful way. I'll teach you guys. Okay. Um, so what's my next
right action? What do I need to be doing on a daily basis? Where do I need consistency? Where
do I need some new habits? Where would it serve me to have something in place that I do every single
day? Who do I need? Who do I need support from? Maybe I don't know the next action, or maybe
I need accountability. I have some clients that if they don't have accountability stuff just
doesn't get done. They haven't built that muscle yet. And we all perform better under accountability.
I always put myself under accountability situations. We all perform at a higher level.
So where do I need support right now? Maybe I don't have clarity. Maybe I really don't know. I
mean, when I started working with these partners, like they didn't have even clarity on their target
market. I mean, there was so much that we needed to just, but to see how clear and how fast this
is moving and what's possible just by having someone that is used to building businesses to
come in and say, hey, here's the next step. Here's the next step. Here's the next step.
It's exciting for them. Here's the next step. And they're brilliant men with brilliant backgrounds.
But this was new, just like you come from. Some of you are nurses and teachers, and
some of you are super brilliant with both of that background, nurses and teachers, right?
But like you're coming out, like you have your brilliance, but this is new.
I can have my brilliance, but substack, I'm lost in there until I really understood it.
So coaching and mentoring or building a network marketing company or an affiliate business or
a new company, or that's, it takes different muscles, different mindset, different skill set,
different actions. So let's talk about that. What's coming up for you? How can I support you
as we talk about those things? Did you get a vision for September 30th?
Do you see it? Sorry. Good. Yeah. And so now where do you need support?
Well, if nobody's going to go, I'll ask you. So it was interesting that you're like
telling about the vision like last night before I went to bed.
because some new things have come up. But it's something that I've done in the past. But
it's revamped. It's like from before COVID days. And so I'm super excited. I was just literally
laying there imagining. Yeah, like, Oh my gosh, this could this could be big. And then I was
like, I shrunk back just for a moment. Yeah. And then I'm like, No. Yeah, this Yeah,
we're already sending the people. Yeah. And I'll share with that in a minute. But what I wanted
to really ask you, because when we first met you, when I first met you, you were saying,
you know, about the posting and stuff, but I'm seeing you more Brenda on posting. So what do
you suggest? When you post for yourself? I'm seeing you a little bit more lately. So what
do you suggest? Um, so first of all, with the algorithms, consistency really is rewarded.
Okay, so that's where I talk about, you know, having the regular routine. Because posting
five times a day for a few days, and then skipping a week will be less effective than posting one
time a day consistently every day. So the first thing I suggest is consistency. Okay, the second
thing I suggest, of course, the things that I've been suggesting is is twofold.
You're going to study your analytics, so that you know what your audience responds to.
That's very important. And you're going to continue to see if something shifts or drops off. So
when you say, what do I post? It's very different in Instagram, than Facebook,
then Substack, both because of the nature of who's on there and what they're looking for, right? So,
and then amongst all of them, what did my audience tell me that then you do more of?
My audience likes real life experience. If I share something from my life,
my audience really likes that. If I put a picture forward facing of myself,
my audience really likes that. I don't particularly like that. I don't particularly
like having to come up with a selfie every single day. Okay, not my favorite thing.
But my audience, okay, so if that's what my audience needs to get the gospel, then that's
what I'll do. Okay. So I'm very aware of my analytics. Okay. And I'm feeding that to AI
to really make sure that I stay within that. So my chat, my cloud knows how to give me ideas
based on my analytics. Okay. So that's another thing. Now, basic human attention,
your hook is everything. Your first sentence is everything. Yeah. So you got to
improve your craft so that it catches attention, especially let's say on Facebook. And if you put
a picture, it often only shows the first line. So they may not even open it. Yeah. If you don't
catch it on the first line. I've helped a lot of my clients when it comes to reels.
They were working really hard and making reels and thinking that they're doing good and they're
being consistent. But people were dropping off in the first three seconds. So the reels will
show how long people are staying on. So if you're losing people in three seconds, and your message
is at second 17 or 37, they never got anything you intended. And so that's a complete waste of
your time. Right? So it might have the algorithms happy that you're posting reels, but it's not
getting you your message, which means and I this hit me because I used to, for example, I
always do a real Sunday nights when I go dancing, I call it the
salsa saga, life and lessons from salsa dance. And so I
always open with Welcome to salsa saga. I'm here. I'm
outside of the opera house. And people were dropping off in
three seconds. And I had a really important message. So I
don't want to do that anymore. Okay, open with. Today, we're
going to talk about and it's them it's what they need. And
make sure you stick to the end because I'm going to show you
how to what's the result you've got to earn them putting their
time into what you're sharing. And so it's very focused on your
audience and what they need and what they respond to. Okay. Um,
yeah. And then I rotate as I've taught you between hope and
inspiration. Okay, which lifts them inspires them draws them
to God lets them know they can do it, whatever hope and
inspiration type posts. Yeah, how to post that showcases your
expertise and give some a tip and a tool that they can use
right now. Okay, which is becoming even more important
because the algorithms if you're talking about meta, the
algorithms have changed, it's less about likes and comments
and engagement that it used to be, which still important. And
it's more what they're looking at is shares and saves. So now
you're creating content that is going to be shared, or is going
to be saved. Okay, so you got to give them something that they
want to save. Right? Okay. So between hope and inspiration,
how to, and then you can just have some clear asks some clear
on doing this, I'm offering this and and put that out. Right.
Okay. And of course, building momentum about you know where
you're going. So you're building momentum into that direction. So
you're noticing. And by the way, Jackie, I'm not really
changing or posting more frequently, probably what's
happening, which is what you want to happen is that the
algorithms are saying you commented, you like this, I'm
going to show everything that she's doing to you. Okay. So
you're experiencing what I want my audience to experience, and
what you want your audience to experience. So I have not in any
way started posting more increasing, I've been pretty
consistent forever posting every day. Okay.
Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I want you to understand that
that's the phenomenon you're trying to create. That means my
algorithms are working my ideal client is seeing over and over
and over again.
That's amazing. Because I've been posting a little bit more
and with this thing in this group that's coming up in and
then I like I'm getting all these followers. I'm like, where
are these people coming from?
Well, and that's important to study that everything is, where
are they coming from? So for a lot of non followers? Yeah. So
so um, that's also a metric, like who's who. Now, if it
shows that the people that are responding are non followers,
it's saying, hey, the algorithms like you and they're pushing
your content out. And they're showing it to people that aren't
just in yours. If it's only coming from people that know
you, then you're restricted and the algorithms are not pushing
you out. So do you understand how each piece of information is
giving you more information? You're building this in a way
like a scientist, you're it's spirit and science, right? It's
Holy Spirit. First and foremost, before you write anything, what
I teach you, what do you want to say today? Write me speak
through like, even when you're using AI, everything is starting
human generating and ending human, you can use AI to fine
tune and do things. But more and more with the AI detectors that
I've talked to you about, you have to make sure that you're
not just posting AI swap. Okay. And it's got to be coming from
you. Besides the fact that I don't want you losing your mind,
your creativity that God has given you by outsourcing your
creativity, right, right. So, um, so it's got to be you
distinctly you, but you're also training your AI to understand.
So I can also talk to my AI and it's it's programmed. It knows
what is AI
language, I've already program it, don't give me stack
sentences, don't give me em dashes, don't give me if x, then
y statements don't give me right. And so I've already ruled
that out, too, so that I don't have to just keep, you know, um,
so, okay, it's very human. It's, it's, it's got a very strong
hook. I'm understanding the algorithms, and what's working,
I do more of, right, you do more of what's working. So, yeah, um,
right now, I'm building my sub stack following. Yeah. Oh, I, I
look at sub stack, as I get new people subscribing is what is
called on there, as I get new subscriptions, I'm analyzing
where is it coming from? Right now, my new subscriptions are
about half from Facebook, half native to sub stack. I also know
how to get the subscriptions in sub stack, which I'm going to
teach you guys. Okay, so does that do this kind of help you
Jackie?
It does. It does. Yeah. And it really is. The next step for me
is more of the relationship. It's been my prayer. It's kind
of what I stepped into a long time ago. And then this, like I
said, I, I'm going to be starting a chapter here of
networking in my state of Indiana. And it's going to be
online, and it's going to be meeting in person. Yeah. Yes to
God, and he needs to just do what he needs.
Well, let's talk about that, Jackie. Um, you know, aside from
here, I have started many networking chapters. And in
fact, I was with a founder that we launched on successful
thinkers, it was called, which ended up becoming a global
phenomenon, it just went to the moon and back. And I opened
chapters like three in cities nearby my cities, and then all
over California, Southern California, over in Napa, like I
opened chapters everywhere. And so I've run a lot of successful
networking type meetings. And so we can we can talk about that as
you do that to really look at what you're doing.
Yeah, thank you. Can I ask you one more thing? I don't want to
take it one more time, but I need to get off here soon
anyways. But when you say about these chapters in this, these
networking events, you know, they were they were very popular
before COVID. And everything's so online, and I love online,
but I want to mix now. I actually people want to win, you
know, I'm craving in person now. Yeah, because of COVID. So
yes, they're trained online. And I like your mix of doing both.
And you could format it one online a month and one in person
a month. Or you can combine that you go and you're live, but
you've got the computer streaming for people that are
watching online. So there's different ways to do that. But
the mixture, people are really craving human connection right
now. And that's the thing AI can't give. So the age of AI
even more is what I'm going to be teaching a lot about that in
build like Jesus. Because AI can't do that. Okay. So yeah,
okay, I'm done now. Everybody. Okay. No, it's exciting. I love
where you're going and what you're doing. That's
hang on to his garment, ladies. Hang on. Like, I just want to
be glued to him right now. I love it. I love it. Okay. Who
else? What do you need support?
Um, I have a few things mine similar to Jackie. You know, I
really want to start this networking. I think this is like
prime time now that my daughter's back in school. I can
really like focus. Yes. Um, I just need to find the areas
around me of where to do networking. So I don't know if
I are you wanting to join one or start one? See that? That's my
thing. Okay. No need to join one because I just did this with a
client and it's very eye opening. Okay. Get on chat and
ask it put your area in and that you're wanting to join
networking and you would like especially if your chat knows
that would be suitable for you and to list for you. Um, and you
can ask it all kinds of things, right? Um, networking groups,
business groups, women's groups, um, spiritual women's, you know,
Christian women's groups. Um, and I'll tell you what, I did
this. I've got a client in New York that I did this with.
And I was personally shocked.
We did it together, and what came up?
And then I asked her, which ones do you know?
Which ones are brand new?
Which ones are calling out to you?
And she was very excited by this.
She's in financial planning.
And thank you.
I love doing that.
I've done a lot of that.
And so I did this.
It's funny when you just said that,
because the client I'm talking about is named Brenda.
I've got a lot of Brendas in my life.
It's really funny.
But yeah, anyway, we did this.
And then so that's step one, is let's map out
what's within whatever your perimeter,
within 30 minutes, within an hour,
within x amount of mile.
It's going to give you quite a list profoundly.
And then the idea is all of them
allow you to visit for free.
And I wouldn't just join willy nilly.
I would go in and feel out each one, which one feels like home.
And depending, if you like really big groups,
you're looking for that, sometimes smaller groups
means you get to speak more often.
They usually find out, do they have speaking opportunities?
Do they have trade show opportunities
where you're showcasing what you do?
And some of them are designed to give you leads.
And the B&Is and the leads and those type of networking groups
are designed that you're helping each other get business.
Some are more faith and fellowship.
But as you build relationships, they
want to know what you're doing.
You build the trust and rapport.
So there's all kinds of networking.
Understand there's business networking, right?
And then, like I said, there's Christian.
There's women.
There's professional.
There's all these type of networking.
So use chat.
Use Claude.
And get the list first.
And then mark on your calendar and start
going to a few every week, which you're getting cards.
You're making appointments.
You're growing.
And then decide which one you want, or however many.
One, two, three.
But I built, when I was a distributor with a network
marketing company in my 20s, I went
to the top of that company.
And I did it all through networking groups.
I was in several.
I was in the Chamber of Commerce.
And I was in a leads group.
And I was in a women's group.
And so, oh, and I was in Toastmaster.
Improved my skills, but that's a form of networking,
is going to Toastmaster every week, right?
And there's different types of Toastmasters
online and in person.
So tips, groups, back then.
And so I built my entire distributor show.
I went to the top of the company in networking in my 20s.
And then again, it just so happened
when I was building my own network marketing company
that I became part of Successful Thinkers, a friend
that I knew.
And I helped him grow networking chapters
all over the United States.
And then later, one of my clients started a networking.
And you could look that up, Tapestry Business Network,
and see if there's anything.
Tapestry Women's Network, see if there's anything in your area.
Stephanie was my client.
And I set up their whole coaching protocol.
And I saw it go from vision, that she had a vision to do it.
And so yeah, we'll go straight at the top of the hour.
Love you, Jackie.
So yes, I've used it in all seasons in my business.
And it's very effective.
And it's all the same thing.
It's about building relationships.
Now, there's also online networking like crazy
everywhere, right?
And you could start your own as well.
So lots of opportunities, but that's
how I would go about it, Amanda.
OK, yeah, I love that idea.
I'll start with ChatGBT first.
Yeah, because I feel like I need to start going to them first,
and then changing that, and then afterwards building my own.
You'll learn a lot.
And you'll learn, what did I love?
What did I not?
Oh, I want to incorporate that.
Oh, I didn't like that at all.
You'll learn.
And you said they're free to visit?
All of them are free to visit the first time.
Then some are free ongoing, but that's not usually the norm.
Normally, you're free to visit.
you can go free one or two times, and then it's usually got
But you're not free to go to them.
some type of cost. And that's why I say, decide carefully what
So you'll learn a lot.
you want to join, but you get to go free first. And in those free
times, you're building relationships, right? And the
goal isn't to meet everybody in the room. The goal is to ask for
divine appointments, and one, two or three people that you
agree to connect afterwards, I'd love to get to know you. Are you
open to having a call? Are you open to having coffee? And so
you are, you know, and they go into your, your, you know,
dream 1000, that I've taught you your dream 100, you know, that
I've taught you on your list that those are the ones that
you're finding on social media, and you're staying active on
social media, you're starting the whole follow up process that
I've taught you, and I'm going to go deep in, you know, build
like Jesus how to do that. In fact, next week, I'm going to
start on that. And what day is that for next week? It's going
to be same time as used to be pressure to partnership on
Thursdays. Okay. Yeah. Simple. All right. Awesome. You're
already in the habit. Okay. Does that help you? Yes, yes. Yeah,
that helps me a lot. The other thing I was going to say, unless
Chloe has to say, okay. So I am noticing on my social media and
everything like that I'm getting more views, you know, like a lot
of people, you know, and stuff like that, still not engaging as
much as I would like. Yeah. Some are engaging, like when I put a
CTA, like, you know, comment or me or whatever. Yeah. So I'm
messaging them right away, thanking them for commenting on
my posts. Yeah, being some genuine questions and everything
like that. Sometimes I'll get response, I might get like one
response, and then it's like, just ghost, like quiet. That's
totally normal. That's totally normal. And the key is, first of
all, everybody, probably you included, have been spammed on
and by bots as well as by people. So people are not real
confident in DMS, if especially if they can smell like you want
to sell them instead of build a relationship. And so you need to
build some humanity into it. And come back and hey, I didn't hear
from you. And I just wanted you to know, and this is where
rotating with voice messages. So they know you're a real person,
which still can be AI. But hey, I just wanted you to know, I'm
not a bot. And you have fun with it. Like be human. I'm not a
bot. I'm actually five, six, I strength train, I'd love a
blob. But I really do want to hear about you. And I really do
want to get to know you. So you know, it might take a few times.
And it go, that's why you have your dream 1000 list. Okay. And
this is, you know, I keep it, I just keep mine hooked. I like
doing it in person. Some people are computer. But like the ones
that I've done in the last couple of days, um, I'm going
back to people from January, February, March, and coming back
around, announcing what I'm doing, what's coming as seeding
about build like Jesus is coming and just keeping the
conversation going. And yeah, not everybody's going to respond.
It doesn't matter. Jesus gave the parable of the sowers,
you're sowing the seed, the birds are going to eat some the
heat's gonna wither some, but some is going to produce 10
hundred 1000 fold. Now, you can improve that by making sure you
water it and you add fertilizer and you pull the weeds, right?
You can you can increase your crop, right? So you don't just
throw the seed and hope that something happens. You throw the
seed and then you water it, which is you come back around,
how can I add value, you give free resources, you give tips,
you ask questions, you genuinely care about them be
human in this age of AI be human.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not selling like right away. You
know, I'm just asking,
like, they can sniff it out sometimes. So you really have to
come in and truly come in from the heart of building a
relationship. Okay. Yeah, because they can smell it. Yeah, you can
smell it. True. Okay. Collette, did you have anything you want
to ask me? We got eight minutes till the top of the hour or
anything?
Yes, quickly. I just wanted to say I'm not really ready for
your one on one, but I need clarity. So that's another
conversation. Probably a private meeting between us. We talked
about that. And the other thing, did you say to come
back on Wednesday and Thursday next week or are we supposed to come back for power hour
is is going to be continuing indefinitely. Okay, so that's Thursday. That's Wednesdays
at eight. That's power. That's right. Power. I'm thinking of this one. And then next Thursday,
I will be starting the build like Jesus series. And that's part of prosper leader membership.
So as long as you are, you know, staying a member, that's part of it. All right, I didn't
want to overstay my welcome. So let's take a look at where you're at. I don't have your
numbers in front of me. I don't know if you just bought the from pressure to partnership
and we need to add to it or what we're doing. Let's look at it. Okay. I do know that you
did one double payment and we'll figure that out together. So it's all going to work. Just
reach out to me and we'll make sure that we got you all hooked up. Okay. Sure. I just
want you to know I'm not sitting here thinking I'm out of this thing. I still want some one
on one because I do need clarity. As you know, my life has been kind of scattered because
I've been taking everything upon myself. I must be doing I must be learning I must be
acquiring another certification or whatever. And so I'm trying to stop that I have enough.
I am enough. And God certainly has enough, you know, so I just need a little help with
that. Yes. Good, good, good. Okay, beautiful. Well, I've loved the transformation. I've
seen that you I've loved the transformation and all of you and so blessings. We're going
from glory to glory. I'm thrilled to come alongside of you. Excited for what these next
couple months come Lord willing. Let's just let's just really, you know, I woke up in
the middle of the night a few nights ago, and God was talking to me in particular about
Substack, but I'm sure it's true everywhere. But God was showing the opportunities for
sharing God's love on on the platforms. And so just stay in that place. How? How can I
really just lift you up? He says if I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto me. So how
can I lift him up? All right, until next time. Lots of love. We'll see you next week. Blessings.
