00:00:00.646 --> 00:00:01.231
Hey, Ryan, hey hey.
00:00:02.802 --> 00:00:03.345
What's happening?
00:00:04.339 --> 00:00:05.746
Just hanging out on a Tuesday.
00:00:05.746 --> 00:00:09.228
Actually, yeah, we're recording on a Tuesday, which is unusual for us.
00:00:09.789 --> 00:00:11.226
Yeah, do you remember Tuesdays?
00:00:11.226 --> 00:00:11.569
What's that?
00:00:11.569 --> 00:00:15.432
Do you remember Toonie Tuesdays?
00:00:15.955 --> 00:00:16.820
Toonie Tuesdays yeah.
00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:21.469
When I was in high school the movies, toonie Tuesdays was a big thing.
00:00:21.469 --> 00:00:25.065
Well, there's Discount Tuesdays at the movies.
00:00:25.065 --> 00:00:38.326
In Toonie Tuesdays was a promo that KFC did way back when I was in high school and it was like you pay $2.
00:00:38.326 --> 00:00:40.106
There's no tax on it.
00:00:40.106 --> 00:00:41.029
It was just like two bucks.
00:00:41.029 --> 00:00:43.606
You give them a Toonie and you got like.
00:00:43.606 --> 00:00:48.767
You got like, I think, one piece of chicken, a small fries and a small drink.
00:00:48.767 --> 00:00:50.686
It was like something like when it first started.
00:00:50.686 --> 00:00:52.131
It was like that Cool.
00:00:52.152 --> 00:00:54.320
It was a good deal, and especially for high school students.
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.723
High school students were like, yeah, I'm going to go to KFC and get Toonie Tuesdays and like you know.
00:00:58.723 --> 00:01:34.066
And then, like you know, and I was never really huge and I liked KFC but I was never huge into it but and I think I'm the only one who's been like flocking this and tracking this because, like they continued the Toonie Tuesdays promotion for many years after that but it just got progressively worse and worse and worse until it was like totally different than what it initially was, and it went from like $2 for chicken fries pop to like $2 plus tax for chicken fries pops, and now we're up to $2 and 30 cents.
00:01:35.099 --> 00:01:41.165
And then it was like $2 plus tax for like okay, now it's no pop, it's just like the chicken and the fries.
00:01:41.165 --> 00:01:50.823
And then like and then like to the point where it was like okay, now it's $2 and 22 cents plus tax for like this and like and now it's just like.
00:01:50.823 --> 00:01:59.897
One step at a time went from being this thing that was like you know, wow, that's a great value to like whatever KFC like yeah.
00:01:59.897 --> 00:02:01.322
I'm going to Popeyes.
00:02:03.984 --> 00:02:04.888
Yeah, I do remember that.
00:02:04.888 --> 00:02:11.103
Now I wonder if that's when the Toonie was introduced, if they were trying to like play off the like introduction of the Toonie.
00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:14.350
I don't know.
00:02:14.350 --> 00:02:16.063
Yeah, I was around that time.
00:02:16.063 --> 00:02:16.626
What year?
00:02:16.645 --> 00:02:16.866
did you?
00:02:16.866 --> 00:02:17.903
It must have been.
00:02:17.903 --> 00:02:19.132
When did

the Toonie come out?
00:02:19.132 --> 00:02:31.393
Let me check the archives I remember that when the Looney came out I was I was like probably eight or seven and I actually won my first Looney ever playing bingo at my aunt and uncle's cottage.
00:02:31.393 --> 00:02:33.706
I thought it was the coolest thing.
00:02:34.621 --> 00:02:37.030
Yeah, the Toonie came out in 1996.
00:02:38.335 --> 00:02:39.699
Okay, 1996.
00:02:39.699 --> 00:02:52.793
So that tracks, yeah, because I was definitely in high school in 1996, but I wasn't really a KFC person.
00:02:52.793 --> 00:03:00.765
Like I feel like fried chicken has become this like massive thing in the last few years, but fried chicken wasn't really a big thing.
00:03:00.765 --> 00:03:04.561
Yeah, you know.
00:03:05.806 --> 00:03:06.788
I just found a message.
00:03:06.788 --> 00:03:08.945
Well, fried chicken has always been super popular.
00:03:08.945 --> 00:03:09.949
What are you saying?
00:03:10.008 --> 00:03:10.711
I don't think it has.
00:03:12.663 --> 00:03:18.973
Colonel Sanders died with more money in the bank than, like the United States, have in foreign debt.
00:03:19.699 --> 00:03:24.183
I know, but like I feel like fried chicken, like independent, like I'm thinking, like I live.
00:03:24.183 --> 00:03:36.925
You know, queen and Dufferin area In the last like four, four years there has been, like a surgeons Is that even a word of fried chicken.
00:03:36.925 --> 00:03:49.769
Places Like there's like Dave's hot chicken, there's Chen Chen's near me, there's PJ Clecks, like these are literally all within like a five minute walking distance from my house.
00:03:49.769 --> 00:03:52.484
That didn't exist before.
00:03:53.426 --> 00:03:55.283
Yes, perhaps you're right.
00:03:55.283 --> 00:03:59.729
We're getting away from the topic of Toonie Tuesday.
00:03:59.729 --> 00:04:18.026
I just found a message on a message board on the internet from 2005 where somebody was reminiscing about how Toonie Tuesday started out at $2 and is now and this is 2005 is now 249 plus tax.
00:04:18.026 --> 00:04:20.545
This is 2005.
00:04:20.545 --> 00:04:22.103
So I don't even want to know.
00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:25.052
So that's 10 years later, right?
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:30.699
If it was that's 10 years later, which is also 19 years ago, oh my God.
00:04:31.963 --> 00:04:32.966
Let's not even go there.
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.283
What is Toonie Tuesdays today?
00:04:35.283 --> 00:04:36.107
Let's see.
00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:38.704
I don't even know if it exists, even.
00:04:40.569 --> 00:04:40.889
Let's see.
00:04:40.889 --> 00:04:47.286
Kfc 2023 is a suggested search 299 plus tax.
00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:50.867
I mean, can they even call it Toonie Tuesday?
00:04:50.867 --> 00:04:55.904
It's not even Toonie Tuesday anymore, it's like $3 Tuesday.
00:04:58.055 --> 00:05:01.127
Yeah Well, they don't call it Toonie Tuesday anymore.
00:05:01.348 --> 00:05:01.569
Oh God.
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:10.677
I mean now it's 2 pieces for 299 Tuesdays, spelled T-W-O-S-D-A-Y-S.
00:05:10.677 --> 00:05:12.843
All right, I mean there's.
00:05:12.843 --> 00:05:13.403
I can't.
00:05:13.403 --> 00:05:15.608
You know, we can't complain that much.
00:05:15.608 --> 00:05:16.331
There's inflation.
00:05:16.331 --> 00:05:17.473
I gotta make money.
00:05:17.473 --> 00:05:18.884
I can't just give the food away.
00:05:19.545 --> 00:05:24.449
No, and honestly, kfc's recipe has improved considerably.
00:05:24.449 --> 00:05:30.762
I would say I would never have eaten at KFC 19 years ago, but now I like it.
00:05:30.762 --> 00:05:33.802
I think they have a good recipe now.
00:05:38.833 --> 00:05:38.992
Yeah.
00:05:39.072 --> 00:05:42.187
I don't think I've had KFC in a while, but oh, it's quite good.
00:05:42.187 --> 00:05:48.009
Now, I don't like their fries, but I could take it or leave it with the fries, but the chicken it's good.
00:05:48.791 --> 00:05:49.052
Yeah.
00:05:49.774 --> 00:05:49.935
Yeah.
00:05:50.725 --> 00:05:51.026
I gotcha.
00:05:52.769 --> 00:05:54.458
Anyway, that's not what we're talking about today.
00:05:54.458 --> 00:06:05.369
We're not talking about Tuney, tuesday or KFC, but we are talking about five things that will 10x your business, that you're probably unwilling to do.
00:06:06.427 --> 00:06:07.228
That you're probably what.
00:06:08.966 --> 00:06:13.237
Unwilling to do or avoiding Right.
00:06:15.608 --> 00:06:16.971
Yeah, this is a great list.
00:06:16.971 --> 00:06:39.276
You and I have been having conversations recently about what are the little things that we're doing in business that are driving sales and just this observation of some of the other people in the industry maybe, who are stating that they're not getting the sales that they want but then, at the same time, not taking consistent actions to get sales.
00:06:39.836 --> 00:06:49.656
Yeah, so we just want to highlight some of these consistent actions, that it seems like a lot of people are unwilling to do these things, and these are also things that directly lead to sales.
00:06:49.656 --> 00:06:55.495
Yeah, yeah so we want to add a little bit.
00:06:56.848 --> 00:06:59.976
Yeah, these are super important.
00:06:59.976 --> 00:07:12.139
Honestly, these things, once we go through them, they're such low-hanging fruit, they're such easy things that you can just implement into your daily schedule that are going to have such a huge impact.
00:07:12.139 --> 00:07:14.708
Yeah, you know what I mean.
00:07:14.708 --> 00:07:16.892
They're not even complicated, they're very easy.
00:07:17.814 --> 00:07:21.649
Yeah, yeah, okay Well.
00:07:21.788 --> 00:07:22.129
I don't know.
00:07:22.129 --> 00:07:25.055
Some of them take effort, all of them take it Effort.
00:07:25.055 --> 00:07:26.297
Yeah, we're going to talk about it.
00:07:26.297 --> 00:07:35.958
But like effort, minimal effort in my opinion, like yes, effort, but who?
00:07:35.997 --> 00:07:36.199
knows.
00:07:36.278 --> 00:07:38.990
Maybe for some
it's more of an effort than for others.
00:07:38.990 --> 00:07:44.774
Like I look at some of the stuff and I'm like that's just a no brain or easy thing that I would 100% do.
00:07:44.774 --> 00:07:48.273
Yeah, okay, let's just get into the specifics.
00:07:48.653 --> 00:07:50.646
Okay, let's do it Okay.
00:07:50.646 --> 00:08:03.059
Number one thing that will 10x your business and when I say business, I mean revenue that you're probably unwilling to do because a lot of coaches are unwilling to do this.
00:08:03.059 --> 00:08:09.295
Okay, before we say this first one, I want to talk about a theory that I have just really quickly.
00:08:09.716 --> 00:08:21.156
Okay, it's that a lot of entrepreneurs want to go straight to the entrepreneur's dream and skip the part where they work sufficiently aggressively to get to that tree.
00:08:21.156 --> 00:08:47.115
Yeah, and it seems to want to go from, like, taking their coaching cert to driving a Lamborghini on the Amalfi coast and then want to skip that part in between where you like have lots of conversations and help lots of clients and like do a fair amount of work to you know, yeah, and I'm not saying that like the only way to be successful is to work really hard and buckle down and like work 24 hours a day and break your back, because that's really not required.
00:08:47.115 --> 00:08:54.489
But it's like a lot of people are airing on the side of just like, like let's go straight to the four hour work week.
00:08:55.734 --> 00:09:00.033
Yeah, you know, maybe make a stop at the 20 hour work week where you actually do some work.
00:09:00.554 --> 00:09:04.109
Yeah Right, some effort is required.
00:09:04.109 --> 00:09:06.774
Basically, yeah, yeah, right.
00:09:08.024 --> 00:09:10.714
Until, like you know, there's growing the business and there's scaling the business.
00:09:10.714 --> 00:09:21.011
Scaling the business is where you try to like make the same money or more by doing less work, and that's where you figure out how to get to your financial goals by whatever means necessary.
00:09:21.393 --> 00:09:21.613
Yeah.
00:09:21.633 --> 00:09:23.716
Right, and that usually comes first.
00:09:24.118 --> 00:09:43.312
Yeah, and that's why they always say, like your first million or something, or like your first 10k is the most difficult, and then anything on top of that is going to be a lot easier, because you already implemented the effort that you need to sustain in order to grow right.
00:09:44.154 --> 00:09:45.836
Yeah, and increase your revenue.
00:09:46.671 --> 00:09:47.452
Yeah, Okay.
00:09:47.452 --> 00:09:58.500
So number one on the list is I know this is going to ruffle feathers and I love that answer DMs and inquiries lightning fast.
00:09:58.500 --> 00:10:02.120
Answer DMs and inquiries lightning fast.
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:21.936
And here's why If you are a co-trust service provider or really any business that sells a service or a product, the most excited a person is going to be to learn about
your product and invest in it is the moment they send you an inquiry about it, and I call it the window of excitement.
00:10:21.936 --> 00:10:28.014
The longer it takes you to get back to them, the more that window closes.
00:10:28.677 --> 00:10:28.837
Yeah.
00:10:29.590 --> 00:10:57.638
So, like I've had, I've like filled out, you know, a form, or submitted a question, or like submitted my contact information to the companies and literally like within seconds after hitting submit, my phone is ringing and it's a salesperson on the other end because they understand that, like it's a countdown, it's like the first 48, right, yeah, so the cops know that TV show about police detectives.
00:10:57.638 --> 00:11:00.171
The cops know, you know, crime has been committed.
00:11:00.171 --> 00:11:06.735
Every second that ticks by without that crime being investigated, it's less and less likely that it's going to be solved.
00:11:06.735 --> 00:11:09.875
I know somebody sends you an inquiry about your business.
00:11:09.875 --> 00:11:19.760
The more time that ticks by before that inquiry is responded to properly, the less likely they are to buy from you and the more likely they are to buy from somebody else.
00:11:20.241 --> 00:11:21.344
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:23.052 --> 00:11:23.594
And so like.
00:11:23.594 --> 00:11:33.567
But there's also this attitude, especially amongst coaches and entrepreneurs and people who market on social media, that, oh well, I can't be a slave to my DMs.
00:11:33.567 --> 00:11:37.057
You know, I have to set boundaries with.
00:11:37.057 --> 00:11:44.061
You know, with people online, and it's like cool, of course, but you might be, you know, setting boundaries that are keeping the money out.
00:11:44.490 --> 00:11:47.158
Yeah, you may be sabotaging yourself by doing that.
00:11:48.523 --> 00:12:10.298
And like I was having a conversation with my Ascension Circle group and we were talking about revenue, high revenue months, and I was kind of like pulling back the curtain on what my months looked like in January and I was just like you know, I was on my phone first thing in the like I literally would open my eyes and the first thing I would grab was my phone.
00:12:12.370 --> 00:12:23.124
And they're like, really Right, because there's also this narrative out there that it's like you have to have this morning routine and like you don't check your phone and you meditate and you like cold plunge and you do all these things.
00:12:23.124 --> 00:12:40.240
No, the first thing I'm doing in the morning is checking my messages and getting back to people as quickly as possible, and then I'm also checking my messages before I go to bed because I don't want to have missed something, because oftentimes people are in the evening right, they're scrolling, they're getting in that window of excitement.
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:41.264
They send you a DM.
00:12:41.264 --> 00:12:48.100
If you have to wait all the way till the morning to get the response, you're going to miss it potentially right.
00:12:50.549 --> 00:13:02.817
Yeah, that's a really good point and it's like you know we're we're not saying you know, ignore your family and be a slave to your phone, etc.
00:13:02.817 --> 00:13:03.278
Etc.
00:13:03.278 --> 00:13:12.500
But, like you know, when you're growing a business and it's your business, you know it's your baby.
00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:15.934
Pay attention to your baby right, yeah, yeah.
00:13:16.034 --> 00:13:18.399
You know I'll take 10 seconds.
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:31.355
You know, as I'm I don't know in between tasks at home during my off time and just glance at my phone and see if there's anything urgent, right, and you know, and with practice you'll get to know like what needs an immediate response of what doesn't.
00:13:31.355 --> 00:13:50.355
But, like you know, if you're like one of these people who root, one of these coaches or entrepreneurs who routinely takes 24 plus hours to respond to messages from people who are not yet paying you money, I guarantee you're leaving money on the table.
00:13:50.375 --> 00:13:54.014
I guarantee you, yeah, yeah, definitely.
00:13:54.014 --> 00:13:56.437
So get on those DMs.
00:13:56.437 --> 00:14:07.011
And also, if you have the belief that, oh, if I reply too quickly, people are going to think I'm not busy Like, get rid of that belief immediately.
00:14:07.994 --> 00:14:08.575
Yeah.
00:14:08.934 --> 00:14:14.583
Because, like, people don't care, people are not thinking that.
00:14:14.583 --> 00:14:19.871
First of all, they're not like oh, she responded to me like within the first five minutes of me sending that.
00:14:19.871 --> 00:14:21.758
She must not be busy, so I'm not going to work with her.
00:14:21.758 --> 00:14:23.493
That's not what they're thinking at all.
00:14:23.493 --> 00:14:25.899
They're like oh, thank you so much for responding so quickly.
00:14:25.899 --> 00:14:33.212
Yeah, so many times I answered DMs and they're like oh, my gosh, like it's so good that you responded so quickly.
00:14:33.212 --> 00:14:37.471
That's usually one of the first things that someone will say If it's a quick response.
00:14:38.432 --> 00:14:38.613
Yeah.
00:14:38.633 --> 00:14:41.618
Right, because people appreciate that, they want that.
00:14:43.989 --> 00:14:44.472
Definitely All right.
00:14:47.745 --> 00:14:49.649
Number two are we good?
00:14:49.649 --> 00:14:50.711
To move on to number two.
00:14:50.730 --> 00:14:53.279
Yeah, yeah, that one.
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:55.625
I mean, I feel like maybe we should have just done the whole episode.
00:14:56.649 --> 00:14:57.812
I know right, we could.
00:14:58.664 --> 00:14:59.510
But maybe we'll.
00:14:59.510 --> 00:15:00.879
We got our list.
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:02.645
Maybe we'll do another episode about that.
00:15:03.027 --> 00:15:03.347
Yeah.
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.293
We'll see how much kickback we get on that particular one.
00:15:08.352 --> 00:15:09.296
Okay, send us your
opinions.
00:15:11.706 --> 00:15:14.264
Send us your opinions One way or the other.
00:15:14.264 --> 00:15:22.447
Yeah, okay, so the next one is on the list of five things that will 10x your business, that you're probably unwilling to do, because most people are unwilling to do these things.
00:15:22.447 --> 00:15:35.565
It's to drop money on real mentorship and accept, and, at the same time, accept responsibility for your success in that so there's kind of this.
00:15:36.005 --> 00:15:44.989
There's a big camp of people are like okay, I paid my X thousand dollars to become a coach, now I'm going to spend $0 on learning how to sell my services and just figure it out.
00:15:44.989 --> 00:15:51.124
Okay, obviously that's not going to get most people very far, unless you're a natural born entrepreneur, which most people are not.
00:15:51.124 --> 00:16:04.115
And then there's this other camp of people it's like okay, you know, I'm so intimidated or I'm so like overwhelmed by the idea of marketing myself.
00:16:04.115 --> 00:16:12.931
I'm just going to take a big chunk of money and give it to a business trainer or a mentor and once I've given them the money, I'm like putting my future in their hands.
00:16:12.931 --> 00:16:19.009
They can tell me what to do and I'll do it, and the sales are going to come in, which is also a mistake.
00:16:20.383 --> 00:16:24.511
Those are the people who pay big bucks for training your mentorship and then don't get the results.
00:16:24.511 --> 00:16:43.988
The secret is be willing to invest in training your mentorship for the thing that you want to achieve, which is sales and client attraction, and go into those programs, whether it's a coaching or training program, accepting personal and full responsibility for the results you do or don't get in the program.
00:16:43.988 --> 00:16:49.951
It's not that the coaches or business trainers job to drag you kicking and screaming to business success.
00:16:49.951 --> 00:17:03.446
They're going to give you the system, but it's up to you to apply that system and pro and be highly proactive about refining that system and asking for support and seeking support, et cetera, et cetera, to make sure you get the results.
00:17:03.446 --> 00:17:05.009
Did I explain that properly?
00:17:05.009 --> 00:17:05.471
Totally.
00:17:06.801 --> 00:17:13.593
I think what's important is you've got to decide that this is what you want.
00:17:13.593 --> 00:17:23.164
Having this type of a business is what you want and it needs to be something that you want so bad that you can taste it.
00:17:23.164 --> 00:17:29.989
The goal of having this business being a coach.
00:17:29.989 --> 00:17:37.047
It needs to be a big goal, full of success, Full of emotion.
00:17:37.047 --> 00:17:44.832
If you want it that badly, then you're going to do whatever it takes to go after that goal.
00:17:44.832 --> 00:17:56.444
If that means purchasing mentorship or buying some business plan or social media thing, then take it
seriously.
00:17:57.460 --> 00:17:57.902
You know what I mean.
00:17:57.902 --> 00:18:11.169
Buy it and show up to the calls, do the modules, apply it, like all the things, because there's so much information out there you could probably not even sign up for a program and get all the information.
00:18:11.169 --> 00:18:17.311
But you have to decide that I want this so bad and I'm going to do whatever it takes to frickin' do it.
00:18:17.311 --> 00:18:41.388
I'm sure you can agree with this, but I've been on so many calls where I'm literally giving people the step by step to getting started, getting a social media presence together, the steps to starting the business, and they don't do it.
00:18:44.722 --> 00:18:46.788
Sorry, I just wanted to break up.
00:18:46.788 --> 00:18:49.067
It's a pervasive limiting belief.
00:18:49.067 --> 00:18:53.604
It's like okay, I just need to put my money and my trust in the hands of the coach and they're going to take care of the rest.
00:18:53.604 --> 00:18:59.266
Yeah, it's a huge step, but you still got to do the work.
00:18:59.286 --> 00:19:00.087
That's step one.
00:19:00.087 --> 00:19:01.549
Okay, cool, you did it.
00:19:01.549 --> 00:19:04.493
Now do it Right.
00:19:04.513 --> 00:19:04.713
Yeah.
00:19:05.681 --> 00:19:08.829
That's, honestly what separates those that are successful from those that aren't.
00:19:08.829 --> 00:19:14.884
Is the people that want it so bad that they can taste it and they're willing to do whatever it takes to do it?
00:19:16.126 --> 00:19:21.268
Yeah, yeah, agreed, that was pretty straightforward, yeah.
00:19:21.288 --> 00:19:24.586
I think we got that, so be honestly like a whole episode too.
00:19:25.421 --> 00:19:34.921
Yeah, it really could, it really could I agree, all right, number three is, yeah, pretty.
00:19:34.921 --> 00:19:36.223
Are we ready to move on?
00:19:36.223 --> 00:19:37.586
Yeah, yeah, we're ready, yeah.
00:19:37.967 --> 00:19:38.207
Okay.
00:19:38.207 --> 00:19:40.652
So number three is be obsessed.
00:19:40.652 --> 00:19:42.825
I love this one, this one is so good.
00:19:42.825 --> 00:19:46.448
Be obsessed with your business and success.
00:19:47.741 --> 00:19:48.002
Yeah.
00:19:49.200 --> 00:20:01.362
I was actually thinking about this when I was driving home or this morning from the vet, because it just popped into my mind a couple of I don't even know Many episodes ago.
00:20:01.362 --> 00:20:07.807
We were talking about balance work-life balance, I think and I was like there's no such thing as balance, there's priorities.
00:20:09.280 --> 00:20:09.501
Yeah.
00:20:12.083 --> 00:20:15.449
And this made me think of what's going on for me right now.
00:20:15.449 --> 00:20:38.123
And I was having this conversation with Dave, I think and I was just like I'm obsessed with my success right now and my business and just getting it to where I want it to be and that's a huge priority for me right now and I was looking at when I was driving this morning.
00:20:38.123 --> 00:21:08.119
I was thinking of a pie chart and I'm like my business right now is like 75% of the pie chart and like everything else has like a sliver of that 25% because I've got other things, like I've got kids, I'm married, I've got, like, other responsibilities, I have my mom, you know, like I've got all this stuff, but the big chunk of my pie and the bulk of what I think about it on a regular basis is the success of my business.
00:21:09.030 --> 00:21:12.778
Yeah, yeah, and that's okay.
00:21:12.778 --> 00:21:17.714
It's okay to make something that's very important to you a very high priority.
00:21:17.714 --> 00:21:23.000
This is the other kind of limiting belief or pervasive counter belief that's out there.
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:32.678
It's like there's this like let's cancel hustle culture, let's cancel that, like the image of that person going all out to build their business.
00:21:32.678 --> 00:21:35.616
Well, let's cancel it for people who don't want to do that.
00:21:36.310 --> 00:21:53.477
But for people who want to do it for people who want to go all in and like you know what I'm going to stop at nothing to make my business work and then, once it's at the revenue level that I want to hit, okay, then it's scale time where we make the same money, or more, by doing less, but somebody wants to go all out.
00:21:53.477 --> 00:21:58.924
Like you know, one of my favorite expressions is it's only a problem if it's a problem.
00:21:59.646 --> 00:22:07.071
Yeah, yeah, if it's damaging your quality of life to be obsessed with success in business, then okay, it's a problem.
00:22:07.071 --> 00:22:08.452
Then I agree with you.
00:22:08.452 --> 00:22:20.506
Yeah, I know that the people are saying that's too much, but if it's making you happy and if you're in the pursuit of something that really lights you up and you're working long hours, that's your right and that's your business.
00:22:20.506 --> 00:22:21.470
It's nobody else's business.
00:22:21.470 --> 00:22:22.954
So, oh, you can't do that.
00:22:22.954 --> 00:22:28.499
Yeah, it's both literally and figuratively, or literally and metaphorically, your business.
00:22:29.300 --> 00:22:37.711
Totally yeah, like as long as you're not like abandoning other things that are also a priority in your life.
00:22:37.852 --> 00:22:56.583
You know, like I'm not abandoning everything for the sake of my business, but it's just sort of like for me right now it's just like my business and then like, obviously my kids are high up there and I'm not like dropping the ball on other things, but you know, it's okay to be.
00:22:57.505 --> 00:23:02.219
That's why we say there's no such thing as balance, like it's priorities.
00:23:02.219 --> 00:23:10.174
You can't really have balance, because if I had balance then it would be like 25% business, 25% family, 25% health.
00:23:10.174 --> 00:23:25.337
Like you can't have that, you know, and I'm still healthy and moving my body, but you know it's maybe
not as high up on the list of priorities for me, but it's still part of my self image.
00:23:25.337 --> 00:23:26.914
Like I'm still going for a walk every day.
00:23:26.914 --> 00:23:29.454
I have a freaking dog, like I have to go for a walk every day.
00:23:29.454 --> 00:23:37.542
Yeah, so it's just re prioritizing a whole bunch of other things in your life.
00:23:37.542 --> 00:23:52.480
I think that's the thing and that's how you, that's how you create a goal that you know is so big that you can taste it, that you like are going to stop at nothing to go after it.
00:23:53.682 --> 00:23:53.962
Yeah.
00:23:55.211 --> 00:24:13.622
And I feel like this one will ruffle ruffle feathers because, like you said, there is this belief out there that you know, the whole four hour work week, the whole, like you know, lean back and let the business come to you, kind of mentality.
00:24:13.622 --> 00:24:25.875
And you know, I feel like some people might be like, oh, if you're obsessed with your business then you're gripping, and if you're gripping then you don't believe that it's going to happen.
00:24:25.875 --> 00:24:29.528
And so then you're like actually repelling and like I don't.
00:24:29.528 --> 00:24:34.069
I like I got caught up in all that stuff for a while and honestly it's not helpful.
00:24:35.305 --> 00:24:44.758
Yeah, in my opinion and for me it wasn't helpful, Like once I put the pedal to the metal and it got obsessed and, like you know, was proactive.
00:24:44.758 --> 00:24:45.487
I was doing all the things.
00:24:45.487 --> 00:24:47.252
That's when things started happening for me.
00:24:48.164 --> 00:25:08.914
Yeah, yeah, I agree with you, and I mean think of like you know, we've all seen that picture of like Elon Musk, you know, 100 years ago, sitting in his garage, you know, surrounded by you know computers, and yeah, yeah, like he started both what, both Google and PayPal.
00:25:08.914 --> 00:25:11.431
I think it was yeah, yeah.
00:25:11.431 --> 00:25:15.913
You know, I mean for every like huge success story in business.
00:25:15.913 --> 00:25:21.328
There was some point in the past where somebody worked really hard Like I'd went all out.
00:25:21.770 --> 00:25:21.912
Yeah.
00:25:22.184 --> 00:25:27.255
To get to this level and now they're like now they can, now they have the freedom Right.
00:25:27.515 --> 00:25:28.156
Exactly Same thing.
00:25:28.265 --> 00:25:36.279
Like you know, we look at everybody who loves to hate Jeff Bezos and Amazon, but like, go Google what he looked like and what his business looked like when he was starting out.
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:43.192
He was almost the same like Elon Musk in a garage with a computer Just trying to make things work Right Totally.
00:25:43.314 --> 00:25:43.615
Yeah.
00:25:44.424 --> 00:25:51.038
You know again, we're not saying a lot of people you know it's not for you or you know and there's other ways to do it.
00:25:51.038 --> 00:25:58.035
But there's nothing wrong, if you want to, to hustle hard and make a name for yourself in this world.
00:25:58.816 --> 00:26:00.259
Yeah, I agree.
00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:02.162
Yeah.
00:26:02.201 --> 00:26:02.542
Love it.
00:26:03.243 --> 00:26:05.612
Cool, okay, we got to speed through the last ones, because now we're.
00:26:05.785 --> 00:26:06.891
Yeah, we're kind of over time.
00:26:06.891 --> 00:26:18.845
Um number four do tests that put you out of your comfort zone and be truly seen, which I think kind of like speaks to the things we've already talked about.
00:26:18.845 --> 00:26:26.174
Like it's like if you're avoiding doing something that might be just the thing you need to be doing to, like, accelerate your business now.
00:26:26.997 --> 00:26:27.297
Yeah.
00:26:28.357 --> 00:26:50.635
You know what I mean Agreed, yeah, or even, like we talked about last week, um, you know, if you're so hardcore on this one particular way of doing it but things aren't really happening for you, but you know this other way works, but you're just resisting doing it for whatever reason, do it, yeah, right, and it might push you out of your comfort zone.
00:26:50.635 --> 00:26:51.441
A little bit.
00:26:54.092 --> 00:26:57.564
Either do it or actually find an alternate means to get the same result.
00:26:57.564 --> 00:26:58.347
Right Like.
00:26:58.347 --> 00:27:00.218
Yeah, there's a lot of like okay well.
00:27:00.218 --> 00:27:00.538
I'm just not.
00:27:00.538 --> 00:27:01.605
I'm going to set this boundary.
00:27:01.605 --> 00:27:04.484
I'm not willing to do this thing in my business.
00:27:04.484 --> 00:27:09.458
That's perfectly fine If you find like another route.
00:27:09.478 --> 00:27:10.584
There's lots of ways to get downtown right.
00:27:10.605 --> 00:27:22.500
Yeah, you can take the train, take the bus, you can walk right but, like, there's a lot of this, um, I want to get downtown, everybody else is taking the bus, but I refuse to take the bus.
00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:37.684
And you're just standing there on the sidewalk not moving, like, if you're going to, um, ignore one of the fundamental parts of business and marketing, you need to find some other means to do it, or just accept the fact that you're not going to develop your, your business, Right, and here's a big one.
00:27:37.684 --> 00:27:49.684
Being seen, like, doing video content, showing your face online is a fundamental piece of social media marketing, and there's a lot of people who refuse to do that.
00:27:49.684 --> 00:27:54.159
Um, but then, like, try to do all the other stuff.
00:27:54.159 --> 00:27:56.085
Like, still have the Instagram account, which is an extremely visual platform.
00:27:56.085 --> 00:28:01.438
Um, you know, still try to make sales, but they're not putting.
00:28:01.438 --> 00:28:03.864
You know, they've created this whole, but they're not filling it in with something else.
00:28:03.884 --> 00:28:10.065
Yeah, right, um, there are ways to market your services and never show your face and never have to do
video content.
00:28:10.065 --> 00:28:12.604
Um, but if you're sitting there and you're saying, what are they, ryan?
00:28:12.604 --> 00:28:20.184
Well, you're probably one of those people who is not yet doing video content and hasn't figured out how to attract clients without it, right?
00:28:20.184 --> 00:28:21.403
And there's a lot of examples of that.
00:28:21.403 --> 00:28:27.984
For example, we talked earlier about rapidly responding to inquiries about your services.
00:28:27.984 --> 00:28:31.740
Yeah, uh, if you're, if you're like no.
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:33.085
I can't do that hard limit.
00:28:33.085 --> 00:28:37.059
You know I'll never respond to DMs in less than 24 hours.
00:28:37.059 --> 00:28:37.520
Cool.
00:28:37.520 --> 00:28:44.782
What is your alternate means of not blowing the leads that are presenting them themselves to you?
00:28:44.782 --> 00:28:48.376
Um, you know, is it hiring a set, or is it?
00:28:48.376 --> 00:28:52.688
You know, is it hiring a set, or is it hiring a set, or is it something you know?
00:28:52.688 --> 00:28:56.854
An auto responder that sends people to a video sales letter like what is it yeah, or is?
00:28:56.933 --> 00:28:57.335
it nothing.
00:28:57.335 --> 00:29:00.940
Yeah, cool, I love it.
00:29:00.940 --> 00:29:06.275
Um, and then last one is be okay with failing.
00:29:06.275 --> 00:29:14.849
Yeah, try stuff, you know, if you do, go out of your comfort zone, try it and see if it works, and if it doesn't, then that's okay.
00:29:14.849 --> 00:29:21.938
If you're not willing to fail, then you're probably not moving forward, right?
00:29:21.938 --> 00:29:29.117
So I think we just stay in, stuck in like analysis, paralysis, procrastination, um, waiting.
00:29:29.117 --> 00:29:36.893
So you gotta fail, you gotta use that muscle.
00:29:38.942 --> 00:29:52.496
Yeah, you know, I think something that keeps a lot of people stuck and distances them from their goals more than they realize is just this insatiable desire for certainty.
00:29:52.496 --> 00:29:55.645
And there is especially running a business.
00:29:55.645 --> 00:29:57.150
There's very little certainty.
00:29:57.150 --> 00:30:02.060
You know it's very rare that you're gonna see the top of the staircase when you're taking the first step Right.
00:30:02.060 --> 00:30:08.792
It's very rare that you're gonna put a little bit of money into ads and know with 100% certainty that you're gonna see a return on investment.
00:30:09.292 --> 00:30:09.894
Yeah, exactly.
00:30:10.681 --> 00:30:17.087
It's very rare that you know it's like okay, I'm gonna do this masterclass and I know three people are gonna buy my.
00:30:17.087 --> 00:30:17.829
I take a program.
00:30:17.829 --> 00:30:20.438
At the end of it like there's no guarantees, right.
00:30:20.818 --> 00:30:22.143
No, no, you need to be okay with that.
00:30:22.565 --> 00:30:23.366
You need to be okay with that.
00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:26.124
But on the flip side, you know, you could like.
00:30:26.124
--> 00:30:34.164
The day that I recorded that reel that went viral and now has like 3.2 million views, I had no idea that was gonna happen.
00:30:34.164 --> 00:30:38.481
I just recorded that like any other day and then look what happens.
00:30:38.481 --> 00:30:44.093
So like if you never try, if you never like put yourself out there, then you're never gonna know.
00:30:46.744 --> 00:30:47.707
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:30:50.243 --> 00:30:52.192
But it's also being strategic too.
00:30:52.192 --> 00:30:57.548
You don't want to just be like throwing spaghetti at the wall Is that the cliche saying that everybody says?
00:30:57.548 --> 00:30:58.450
Like you know?
00:30:58.450 --> 00:31:03.160
You don't want to be just like sprain and praying that something is gonna work.
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:14.053
You want to have a strategy, but you also need to be able to be willing to just, like you know, implement something for a bit with and sometimes you're not gonna have the certainty.
00:31:14.894 --> 00:31:15.054
Yeah.
00:31:15.074 --> 00:31:15.775
You're not gonna know.
00:31:16.756 --> 00:31:16.955
Yeah.
00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:19.605
But you're not gonna know if you don't do it either.
00:31:19.605 --> 00:31:22.092
So what's better?
00:31:22.092 --> 00:31:32.855
And we've talked about this so much, because I remember having a conversation about what's that, michael Jordan one where it's like you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
00:31:34.161 --> 00:31:36.384
Yeah, exactly, I mean.
00:31:36.384 --> 00:31:38.205
And let's go back to the ads example, right?
00:31:38.205 --> 00:31:44.713
The only way to guarantee a zero ROI, a zero return on investment for your ad spend, is to have no ad spend.
00:31:45.315 --> 00:31:45.454
Yeah.
00:31:47.883 --> 00:31:48.765
And that's the only guarantee.
00:31:48.765 --> 00:31:56.424
The only guarantee in business is if you don't take the action, you're not gonna get the result, right, yeah, if you do take the action, you may or may not get the result.
00:31:56.424 --> 00:31:57.386
So where's the better odds?
00:31:58.088 --> 00:31:58.509
Exactly.
00:31:59.290 --> 00:31:59.491
Yeah.
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:00.340
Exactly.
00:32:00.340 --> 00:32:03.546
All right, I think that's a good point to end on.
00:32:04.381 --> 00:32:05.144
Yeah, there you go.
00:32:06.259 --> 00:32:12.092
Yeah, so I don't have the list anymore, but I deleted it.
00:32:12.092 --> 00:32:17.788
Okay, so we can't summarize it, so you're just gonna have to go back and listen to this all again.
00:32:18.741 --> 00:32:20.882
Yeah, Pretty.
00:32:20.882 --> 00:32:23.820
Oh yeah, I didn't think about summarizing it Literally.
00:32:23.820 --> 00:32:32.249
Ladies and gentlemen in the audience, we had a shared note that was hosted on my account and, like as soon as we hit number five, I deleted it.
00:32:32.249 --> 00:32:33.231
I was like I'm moving on.
00:32:33.732 --> 00:32:35.458
Yeah, and this episode is done.
00:32:35.458 --> 00:32:36.160
Yeah, it's over.
00:32:36.520 --> 00:32:39.152
I forgot to summarize the five, but yeah.
00:32:40.979 --> 00:32:42.826
All right yeah that's it.
00:32:42.826 --> 00:32:44.546
Well, hopefully they were taking notes.
00:32:45.401 --> 00:32:51.746
So, yeah, go back and just listen to it again and we'll all be good in the hood, good All right, all right, that's it.
00:32:51.746 --> 00:32:54.189
Go out and do stuff, make sales, have fun.
00:32:54.750 --> 00:32:54.990
Yeah.
00:32:55.510 --> 00:32:57.212
Thank you, okay, bye everyone.
