Scaling is whatever it takes to get our business to where it needs to go.

Unknown:

So always fun. You might

Unknown:

be a record holder, which I know you appreciate. I think it's you

Unknown:

and Tina Pettis. Yeah, have been on the show the most. So I don't

Unknown:

know the exact number, I'm embarrassed to say. But I think

Unknown:

you're ranking up there. So. And don't you don't know Rebecca, so

Unknown:

many things I could say. But I'm going to be really succinct. So

Unknown:

Rebecca and I have known each other for we think over 10

Unknown:

years, probably in past lifetimes together. We've been

Unknown:

in a lot of training and coaching room, she's been

Unknown:

hanging out with my company, and a supportive role and coaching

Unknown:

clients and really helping at all levels in the business for,

Unknown:

I don't know, like 10 years, I don't know, we say 10 years,

Unknown:

because it's just math. But we probably have to figure that

Unknown:

out. Rebecca has coached over

Unknown:

3000

Unknown:

I think over the last year, we set up a lot last couple years,

Unknown:

over 3000 business owners from everybody from startups to 100

Unknown:

million dollar companies. And she is amazing at cutting

Unknown:

through all the noise, and really helping you uncover

Unknown:

what's stopping you and getting that thing out of the way. She's

Unknown:

also getting certified in human design, which I know we're not

Unknown:

really talking about today. But I feel like that might

Unknown:

go soon. We'll talk about soon. Yeah, another another episode to

Unknown:

basically put me at the top.

Unknown:

Yes. Well, this is already two parts. So that says a lot. And

Unknown:

then we'll have you back. Talk about human design is that

Unknown:

continue to happen? So it doesn't really things? Like what

Unknown:

else would you want to share about yourself or your story

Unknown:

just now?

Unknown:

Well, I mean, I think you've covered it. I mean, obviously,

Unknown:

you know, we're very aligned. And I think that's really

Unknown:

important just in life. There's a lot of information out there

Unknown:

and a lot of frequencies that you can play on, I think it's

Unknown:

important to find the frequency that resonates the best with

Unknown:

you. And so I feel like I've found that place here. And I

Unknown:

just encourage anyone watching this, that, you know, you might

Unknown:

be in the right place. So don't be afraid of that.

Unknown:

Yeah, might be hanging out, we're definitely going on the

Unknown:

right place, if you're listening with us today. So you know, um,

Unknown:

so Rebecca is a master coach at Earthlink. So she and I coach

Unknown:

our clients, and sometimes we coach our clients at the same

Unknown:

time. Sometimes it's individual. Sometimes I'm doing intuitive

Unknown:

reading, she's doing human design now, like all kinds of

Unknown:

cool things to help give our clients the breakthrough theirs

Unknown:

that they're looking for. And I was thinking about, you know,

Unknown:

I've been talking a lot about scaling on the show, like, I

Unknown:

feel like 2022 things that I've been sharing, I've done a lot of

Unknown:

solo shows on you know, how to really scale your business what

Unknown:

that looks like. And I just kind of had this this download, I was

Unknown:

like, you know, what are people not talking about when it comes

Unknown:

to scaling? Like, what, what all our clients, you know, bump up

Unknown:

against and get super frustrated with? Or, you know, what, like,

Unknown:

what do people just want people talking about? What's the

Unknown:

underbelly of scaling? What are the and then what are the

Unknown:

secrets that we could share that have helped us scale our

Unknown:

businesses or we've helped our clients with? So Luke seven

Unknown:

things want to talk about, that's what we had to have a two

Unknown:

part show cuz I feel like we could talk all day about this.

Unknown:

We're gonna talk about team time marketing, sales systems

Unknown:

mindset, and the quantum the quantum energy. Where should we

Unknown:

begin? Well, first,

Unknown:

before we begin, I want to I want to really specify about

Unknown:

scaling, because sometimes people think that scaling is

Unknown:

like, the way that you build your business, right to success

Unknown:

or where you want to be. But I will tell you what, a lot of

Unknown:

times scaling means tearing down and redoing or shifting what

Unknown:

you're already doing. Scaling is whatever it takes to get your

Unknown:

business where it needs to go. So it's not like this linear

Unknown:

uphill and I'm scaling my business sometimes scaling your

Unknown:

business looks like this. Right? And so for those Have you the

Unknown:

have been in business for a while or, you know, here's the

Unknown:

thing, if you're not getting the results that you want, we're

Unknown:

going to talk about scaling, which means that might mean stop

Unknown:

doing some things, start doing some things, do some things

Unknown:

more, come at things from maybe a different perspective or a

Unknown:

different way. So I just want to be really clear that when we're

Unknown:

talking about scaling, don't disqualify yourself, if you're

Unknown:

watching this, and you're like trying to start a business or

Unknown:

you've been in business or, or even if you're like, look, my

Unknown:

business is comfortable right now. It's scaling is always part

Unknown:

of the game scaling is a continuous motion that happens

Unknown:

all the time. So I just want to be super clear about that. Where

Unknown:

it's not this destination for your business. It's actually an

Unknown:

action that's happening all the time in your business. Yeah,

Unknown:

it's

Unknown:

a great point, the journey of scamming people, like we

Unknown:

definitely we tore everything down in my company when COVID

Unknown:

head because we're like, wow, the path we're on, you know,

Unknown:

right before COVID was about live events, and lots of them.

Unknown:

And of course, that wasn't the thing in 2020. So we we tore

Unknown:

everything down, we really rebuilt it, which I think is and

Unknown:

we what's correct, like if you think about it, Rebecca, we

Unknown:

actually dismantled everything. Right. Like we don't even offer

Unknown:

a program today that we did two years ago, like they're all

Unknown:

gone. And we actually came back stronger, within six months than

Unknown:

we've been before. Revenue wise, which is crazy, we end up having

Unknown:

our you know, our best year in business in 2020. We did it

Unknown:

again in 2021. We're gonna do it again in 2022. Because of this

Unknown:

idea of scaling and tearing down and rebuilding, so that's

Unknown:

important for building about like, you've been thinking,

Unknown:

maybe I need to, to rebrand or change some things you probably

Unknown:

do. But I was like, if it's if it's downloading, like you've

Unknown:

been thinking about it for a while, or your clients are

Unknown:

asking for different things. And it's like, as comfortable as you

Unknown:

might be. I guarantee you if you're willing to do the work

Unknown:

and pull things apart and rebuild things, there's

Unknown:

something there's definitely something waiting for you so

Unknown:

Alright, so where do you feel I mean, the thing about Rebecca's

Unknown:

brain if you don't know her, I think I told someone this week,

Unknown:

I'm like, Rebecca is like a robot. So that's my new thing.

Unknown:

As a compliment, we're

Unknown:

being really nice you are so Allah works like a robot like

Unknown:

you put information in and then answer comes out was one thing I

Unknown:

really appreciate about you. And what I mean by that is that

Unknown:

you're very logical and how you're very logical. And then

Unknown:

through 2020 and 2021, you've also become very heart centered.

Unknown:

So I feel like you're even more balanced in the check those

Unknown:

checkpoints of logic and heart centered. Thinking about this,

Unknown:

from a logical perspective, where do you feel called to

Unknown:

begin in those seven, seven spots of scaling?

Unknown:

So I can start anywhere?

Unknown:

What feels the most logical though, like, if we're going to

Unknown:

think about

Unknown:

it? We're going to be around structure. So you know, I think

Unknown:

probably the the first place we start and this happens in a lot

Unknown:

of conversations that we have with clients is around team. And

Unknown:

there seems to be this like, I don't know what it is, I don't

Unknown:

know if it's like a throwback of the industrial age, which we're

Unknown:

really not in anymore, right? Especially right now a supply

Unknown:

chain issues. Were everyone's having to get really scrappy

Unknown:

about stuff. So and think more, but this whole team concept I

Unknown:

always run into, like, that's awesome. I totally want help.

Unknown:

And as soon as I can afford it, I'm gonna hire. Right? And I

Unknown:

just, you know, we say, the truth is, you can't afford to

Unknown:

not hire right now. And we've chatted about this before men,

Unknown:

men are really good at it. Like, a guy's got a job to do. And all

Unknown:

of a sudden, he's like, Well, who can do this? Yeah, you might

Unknown:

even be married to one of those. No, knock on men, you know that.

Unknown:

But that's just the way their brain thinks but, you know, it's

Unknown:

how you get things done. It's how you grow is who can help me

Unknown:

with this. And then there's this, what do you call it? Like,

Unknown:

there's this pride about the one man band like the the I do

Unknown:

everything, you know, from start to finish that I'm grinding and

Unknown:

it's like, I don't I don't understand that. It's hard. I

Unknown:

mean, I did that myself for a long time, like running around

Unknown:

doing all the hats. Some of it's like cultural especially being a

Unknown:

woman where it's like, you know, I need to clean my own house or

Unknown:

stuff like that. So we talked a lot about you know, internal and

Unknown:

external team and I think a lot of your listeners like

Unknown:

understand the whole hire out, you know, help for your house or

Unknown:

what do you need to do to give that time in your business? But

Unknown:

then the truth is, is what are the wheels that you're spinning

Unknown:

in your business because you won't ask for help, or because

Unknown:

you think you can't afford it? And I know you know, if people

Unknown:

have attended our to exci I go through a very, you know, quick

Unknown:

introduction showing you how to release 10 hours. So that in

Unknown:

that is from hiring so that you can actually build your Business

Unknown:

stronger, faster, quicker. So this thing about being willing

Unknown:

to let go certain aspects of the business, and I'll talk a little

Unknown:

bit more about it when we talk about systems and operations.

Unknown:

But, man, you just got to get in the whole thing of like who, you

Unknown:

know who is going to help me do this? Who can do this? And

Unknown:

really, like, be comfortable with that and know that you can

Unknown:

afford it. You absolutely 100% can afford hiring help.

Unknown:

Let's talk about that piece. Because here's what I think this

Unknown:

is one of the big lies out there is I think there's this

Unknown:

perception that companies have really big teams or they have

Unknown:

lots of people working for them. And I think that was one of the

Unknown:

things that I was most like, I came from working for a tech

Unknown:

company technic technical training consulting company. And

Unknown:

we did have a big team, we kind of needed the company needed a

Unknown:

big team. But as I got out in the world, and I saw, like, you

Unknown:

know, half a million dollar companies, or million dollar

Unknown:

companies, which is probably a lot of our listeners are early

Unknown:

six figures. You know, you can grow like this is one of things

Unknown:

I don't think people realize you can grow a really successful

Unknown:

seven figure business with yourself and like, one or two

Unknown:

team members. Yeah, even they don't even have to be full time.

Unknown:

They're not they don't necessarily have to be w two

Unknown:

employees.

Unknown:

Yeah. Well, we'll see how this goes over in the comments. But

Unknown:

you know, I spent time in corporate America and, and

Unknown:

entrepreneurship and corporate America is interesting. I think

Unknown:

that's where that facade of that takes so much team, I think

Unknown:

corporate America tends to throw bodies at problems. And that's

Unknown:

where the waste is. My son, and I have three, so you'll never

Unknown:

know which one it is. And he works for a very large company,

Unknown:

which you'll never know which one it is because it may work. A

Unknown:

few of them work for bigger companies. Yeah. But he was

Unknown:

talking to me the other day about the company's doing some

Unknown:

layoffs. And I'm like, Well, what is that about? And he said,

Unknown:

Yeah, well, let me give an example. The whole marketing

Unknown:

team went to Mexico and the tab was $3 million. And it's like,

Unknown:

yeah, that makes a lot sense. And you know, where I've been in

Unknown:

corporate America, I've seen that kind of I call it financial

Unknown:

bloat. And, you know, you get caught up in like the culture

Unknown:

and throwing bodies at problems, and you're moving so fast. And

Unknown:

that's where it becomes scary. That's where you hear stories of

Unknown:

like, I can't make payroll, or this is what we spend on

Unknown:

payroll. And then if you're just an entrepreneur, or small

Unknown:

business owner, you're like, I, I can't afford to get caught in

Unknown:

that trap. That'll put me out of business. And I think it's a

Unknown:

complete, it's, just don't compare your game to that. It's

Unknown:

a totally different game. It's a different game on marketing.

Unknown:

It's a different game on fulfillment, you know, even just

Unknown:

like for the sake of what you're why you're doing business as an

Unknown:

entrepreneur. And this isn't to say, like, we don't want to talk

Unknown:

to people that, you know, aren't huge, you know, 30 $40 million

Unknown:

companies we do. But I'm telling you, it's not what you think it

Unknown:

is. Right? I think it's kind of like being a kid, and you can't

Unknown:

wait to be an adult, because you're like, I'm gonna be free

Unknown:

and do whatever I want and have cold cereal anytime I want. And

Unknown:

then you get to be an adult, and you're like, wait a minute. Oh,

Unknown:

yeah. So you can't you know, and then they don't look at the kid.

Unknown:

And it's like, I wish I had no responsibility was that kid

Unknown:

again, right. So, you know, we don't want to look in those

Unknown:

areas. If you're really looking to build the business, you need

Unknown:

to have team that there's no such thing as a self made

Unknown:

millionaire unless you're a lotto winner, but even then

Unknown:

you're not self made, because the guy had to, like, give you

Unknown:

the ticket, or someone's gonna pay you. So, you know, you do

Unknown:

need to think about having at least one team member. Like,

Unknown:

even if you're just starting, you should be thinking like, who

Unknown:

am I going to hire this one person to help me 1015 20 hours

Unknown:

a week, and then build from there?

Unknown:

Let's Yeah, I think I want to key in on that for a minute.

Unknown:

Because, literally, we live in this, you know, global economy,

Unknown:

like we all know that right? But I don't think it's ever been

Unknown:

more true since the time of this pandemic. This interesting time

Unknown:

where everything you know, we live on Zoom, it's global. Now,

Unknown:

what's cool about that the upside is that I can hire

Unknown:

someone from anywhere in the world. And there are people all

Unknown:

over the world that can work with you. So you know, if you're

Unknown:

like, Well, I would never do that. You'd be surprised how

Unknown:

many companies work with people all over the world you know, and

Unknown:

I get like some people are like well I really want to work with

Unknown:

some of us that's fine. And I we have clients that listen from

Unknown:

all over the world who hire from all over the world so you know

Unknown:

open up your mind to see all the potential ways that you could

Unknown:

hire someone and and then there's internships and there's

Unknown:

other things but I you know, but let's let's pay for someone to

Unknown:

help you at least right. It started there. And to Rebecca to

Unknown:

your point, you can start with 10 hours a month. That was my

Unknown:

first virtual assistant 10 hours a month. That was before vas,

Unknown:

we're, I don't even know if people I mean, it was just very

Unknown:

brand new. I hired my first virtual assistant 10 hours a

Unknown:

month. And I started delegating and it helped a lot. So yeah,

Unknown:

I've always been

Unknown:

Yeah, the only thing I add before we move on to the next

Unknown:

thing is the other misconception is that you have to hire people

Unknown:

that are like you like they would be your friends, right?

Unknown:

And it really is not about the person you hire, it's about the

Unknown:

role you're trying to fill. And so just being very strategic,

Unknown:

or, you know, concise about what is the role that you need, and

Unknown:

finding the person now, you know, we're not going to get

Unknown:

into culture, of course, you want someone that is similar,

Unknown:

but it's it, that sort of the people get scared, and they

Unknown:

don't know how to make that thing. Because it's like you're

Unknown:

trying to hire someone who they think is going to be a friend or

Unknown:

who definitely they're, like, see themselves as like, knowing

Unknown:

more or whatever, right? And it's not about that. I love to

Unknown:

hire people that know more than me all the time. Like, thank

Unknown:

you. Thanks for coming on. I'm happy to pay you for your genius

Unknown:

and to just get this done, even if I don't know. So I think

Unknown:

that's the only part I would add to the team. And people just

Unknown:

don't talk about it.

Unknown:

Yeah, and I so thank you, I said all that to say, just to really

Unknown:

bring this part home is to grow, you need some help. And Dan

Unknown:

Sullivan wrote a book, great book, I need to have him on the

Unknown:

show. Sometimes I talk about all the time, who not how, and he

Unknown:

wrote it with somebody who I don't know who that guy is, but

Unknown:

he was who who wrote the book. That's the irony of it. Sorry,

Unknown:

shout out to whoever that gentleman is. He's probably

Unknown:

like, really? Why doesn't anybody know my name? Anyway?

Unknown:

The whole idea? It's like, how do I do this, ask who can help

Unknown:

me get this done, and that, that will serve you so well. And know

Unknown:

that when you hire, it's like building a bridge to the next

Unknown:

level. And you got to believe that you're going to bring more

Unknown:

revenue in and that's going to keep growing. So alright, so

Unknown:

talked about team, a lot of myths out there. So hopefully,

Unknown:

those some of the secrets we shared that, you know, were

Unknown:

helpful, but I think it's a natural progression to talk

Unknown:

about time, like I think on this first part, we should cover team

Unknown:

time marketing and sales, because I want to save systems

Unknown:

and operations for part two, because I think that like,

Unknown:

because you geek out on it, it's so fun to so fun to listen to.

Unknown:

So from time to time, because one of the things I heard you

Unknown:

say, is this piece of like, you know, there's just never enough

Unknown:

time or I don't have to even like I don't have time to hire.

Unknown:

You talked about what we do what you do the exercise, do it the

Unknown:

2x intensive course, where you really help people see the

Unknown:

potential time they get back from hiring, and also the return

Unknown:

on investment in hiring to get back that time. But, you know,

Unknown:

for someone who's like, because we hear this all the time, I

Unknown:

think we you know, we we meet a lot of clients who are the low

Unknown:

six figures. And they are the business, right? They're doing

Unknown:

it all, you know, I can think of many who are even at 300,000

Unknown:

doing it all themselves. And they're, they feel like they

Unknown:

don't even have time to hire. Right. So what do you think the

Unknown:

secrets are? I think you have a lot of secrets about time, like,

Unknown:

what are some of the secrets that you think people just

Unknown:

yeah, um, well, I mean, I've struggled with this myself, you

Unknown:

know, and sometimes they come and here's my favorite one is

Unknown:

like, well, I love working in my business. I love it so much. And

Unknown:

in fact, I was just talking to somebody today that wants to

Unknown:

work with us. And I was like, Yeah, but what else? You know,

Unknown:

what, what's going on in your marriage? What's going on in

Unknown:

your relationship? You know, are you really want to be working

Unknown:

all the time, there's nothing else you'd rather do. And, and

Unknown:

they were like, yeah, actually, I wish I had time to do this.

Unknown:

And this. And so sometimes we get addicted to that work. And

Unknown:

then we put more time into it, right. And then we just play

Unknown:

this game where it's like, I work in my business all the

Unknown:

time. And then I don't have time to do anything, and it's you're

Unknown:

contradicting yourself. But to me, time really comes down to

Unknown:

like not not knowing exactly what to do or how something

Unknown:

unfolds. And then just the biggest one, just being

Unknown:

subjected to distractions. It's so amazing how we have allowed

Unknown:

ourselves to leak time. Some are pretty obvious, scrolling

Unknown:

through Facebook, you know, things like that. But the

Unknown:

distractions, and there's a lot of studies out there, you know,

Unknown:

when you try to move from like one, like one thing, one task

Unknown:

that you're doing to a different, totally different

Unknown:

type of task, and then come back to it. So for example, you're

Unknown:

totally busting out like a marketing campaign on you're

Unknown:

writing some copy. And then like an email comes in, or a phone

Unknown:

call comes in or a text, and you stop what you're doing to see

Unknown:

like, Okay, what's going on? Does this does this deserve my

Unknown:

attention? What's the priority of that? Are you to solve it

Unknown:

right now? I don't know. I'm thinking about it. Or I decided

Unknown:

to take the call and then it's not what I thought it was. And

Unknown:

then I'm like, Okay, I gotta get back to him doing and you, you

Unknown:

try to complete that task and then move your mind back to

Unknown:

like, Okay, I'm totally writing awesome copy. huge waste of

Unknown:

time. And there's been a lot of practice that maybe you've heard

Unknown:

where people are like, Well, I only check my email at 10 and

Unknown:

four and, and that's fine, but there's way more areas in your

Unknown:

life where you're letting time leak out through distractions.

Unknown:

And a lot of our clients I have them do a tick mark like every

Unknown:

time they check email or don't forget on their phone during the

Unknown:

day,

Unknown:

talk about that, what do you mean a tick mark, so they have

Unknown:

to track it. Yeah. So

Unknown:

you know, we do time tracking, and we help clients, you know,

Unknown:

organize their day. So they have everything they want in life

Unknown:

really is what I call it. And part of that instead of like

Unknown:

taking the time to write down every time you check email or

Unknown:

your phone, because that takes so much time, I just have the

Unknown:

mike have a little cheat next to their next to them that has a

Unknown:

just a little hash mark. And there's lots of hash marks

Unknown:

20 3040 hash marks, if you just average that every time you

Unknown:

broke your attention on something that you needed to be

Unknown:

doing to, to pay attention to a distraction, and analyze or

Unknown:

determine if it's a priority, and that you should break, just

Unknown:

to make that, you know, dissemination and then come back

Unknown:

to your task is at least three minutes, if not five minutes,

Unknown:

because your brain has to get right that goes back. Like we

Unknown:

think multitasking is a thing and it's totally not. It's just

Unknown:

being busy. So if you do it 20 times a day, times five minutes,

Unknown:

that's 100 minutes, that's an hour and 40 minutes a day that

Unknown:

you spend floating off somewhere and then trying to get back.

Unknown:

huge waste of time. You know, and so what else, you have kids

Unknown:

that are like Mom, mom, you know, that's another course. But

Unknown:

you know, I taught my kids how to communicate with me during

Unknown:

the work day, especially when a lot of us are working from home.

Unknown:

But, you know, paying attention to that because we just we've

Unknown:

become a reactionary society, we react to this react to that

Unknown:

react to that day, we react to that message. And I really think

Unknown:

that's where we're just kind of blowing out our energy. And then

Unknown:

we almost are like too exhausted or too unfocused to come back

Unknown:

and actually, like do good work or not even do good work. Just

Unknown:

do. What would you call it? You just do like meaningful or like

Unknown:

this is I know what I'm going to get from this action. This is

Unknown:

money in my business, this script active or? Yeah, exactly.

Unknown:

So that's a big one. And we just don't realize it, we don't

Unknown:

realize time. And if you think if you don't think that you're

Unknown:

wasting time, I challenge you to track it. Just like I attract

Unknown:

money in college, we attract every penny we spent. And that

Unknown:

really created some conversations in our household

Unknown:

of the time. I eat Why are you stopping at the convenience

Unknown:

store every single day to get a drink that's turning into $15 of

Unknown:

right. And that's just an example. But we do the same

Unknown:

thing with time. It's that to three minutes to three minutes

Unknown:

to three minutes to three minutes all day. Yeah, it's

Unknown:

distracts you as well.

Unknown:

So effective. i Yeah, definitely. I mean, pool.

Unknown:

There's so many distractions now. And I think I think you're

Unknown:

right. I'm sure some of the listeners are like, Yeah, I

Unknown:

don't really do that. But if you do track, you'll see. So

Unknown:

thinking about just really quickly, like thinking, think

Unknown:

about one of your clients, like what was the biggest

Unknown:

breakthrough in their life? Or what did it change for them when

Unknown:

they realized? spend their time differently? Oh, my

Unknown:

gosh, just one. It's all kinds of things. Because it's not just

Unknown:

about business. Yeah. You know, we think we're going to organize

Unknown:

our 40 Hour Workweek. And it's more than that. I mean, people

Unknown:

are getting relationships back, they're getting back into the

Unknown:

things that you still love doing physical activity connection

Unknown:

with nature, being present in relationships, that's probably

Unknown:

the biggest one is just being present when you're not working.

Unknown:

Yeah, right. Because how many of you don't get on the conference

Unknown:

call on the way to your kids soccer game? How many of you,

Unknown:

this used to be one of our house that finally got shut down was,

Unknown:

hey, let's watch a show together for quality time. But while

Unknown:

we're doing that, I want to be on my computer. Yeah, no

Unknown:

answering emails, and like acting like I'm engaged in the

Unknown:

show and with you. And it's just such a crock, you know, and but

Unknown:

we tell ourselves that all the time. So it's this, it's the

Unknown:

speaking of multitasking are always always being on. And

Unknown:

again, going back to science and studies, it shows that, you

Unknown:

know, when we take breaks, like true breaks, like, put your

Unknown:

phone away, you know, like really engage in something else

Unknown:

for your brain, whether it's like physical, if you sit at a

Unknown:

desk and all of that kind of stuff, you come back more

Unknown:

productive, you come back with better ideas, you come back with

Unknown:

solutions, you actually come back with like just a better

Unknown:

feeling of joy, like you just feel better. When you're able to

Unknown:

take a break. And I wish in America, we would get used to

Unknown:

that there's other countries that do that very well. But

Unknown:

right, was it your time? i i It's such a it's one of things

Unknown:

that I work on all the time, as well as not getting distracted.

Unknown:

And I find that when I do the podcast like this or when I'm on

Unknown:

the client doing, you know, in a coaching session, it's such a

Unknown:

relief to be able to be forced to focus on one thing, which

Unknown:

reminds me that you know, especially for those of us who

Unknown:

feel like we might be add in some way, shape or form although

Unknown:

some people say you're not but it's something I've really had

Unknown:

to work on. It's like that that pull of energy. But when I work

Unknown:

on your right, when I work on one thing at a time, I

Unknown:

definitely feel I feel less stressed. I don't feel like

Unknown:

being like the angst, anxiety of that. Alright, keep going. So

Unknown:

sales and marketing, I'm going to put those two together,

Unknown:

there's marketing, and then their sales. Mm hmm. So let's

Unknown:

start with marketing and then sales, and then we're going to

Unknown:

wrap this this section up. So what are the myths about

Unknown:

marketing in the world? Do you think or in the world,

Unknown:

the marketing is hard that you have to be tech, a tech wizard,

Unknown:

that you're gonna have to invest a ton of money and adspend. You

Unknown:

know, it's that you gotta get like this Lamborghini CRM and

Unknown:

figure right now, it is one the, I think the biggest thing is

Unknown:

that you need 1000s and 1000s of leads to make the money that you

Unknown:

want to make. And granted, if you make two cent widget, right?

Unknown:

And you're producing mass producing that in the 10s of

Unknown:

1000s, you're going to need a lot of leads. Yeah, that's

Unknown:

actually not most of us in business, though. Businesses are

Unknown:

mostly service providers. So it's not that many clients, you

Unknown:

know, it's kind of different than the product industry. But

Unknown:

I'd say most people run into 80% of the businesses that I've

Unknown:

worked with over 17 years are service based businesses. Yeah.

Unknown:

And so that does bring down the lead count, or the client count

Unknown:

that you really need to hit revenue goals. And so I think

Unknown:

that's the biggest thing is that you have to it's this big

Unknown:

monster that has to go get 1000s and 1000s of names so that you

Unknown:

can churn through it and make your money. And it's just, it's

Unknown:

just not true.

Unknown:

It's crazy. And how many times have we talked to a client and

Unknown:

found that they already had the leads they needed, sitting

Unknown:

somewhere, or a way to get to their 2x, or their 10x? Like it

Unknown:

was already around them? Like so many of our clients. It's like

Unknown:

we don't, we don't see the easy stuff as opportunities. And we

Unknown:

think we have to go create this big marketing strategy to be

Unknown:

successful. And I remember when I launched my business, I did a

Unknown:

whole years later, I did this whole as a podcast or recording

Unknown:

on the eight freeways and marketed in the beginning, like

Unknown:

what I did to grow my business, like I don't have a budget. So

Unknown:

you know, I, I networked I cold called I set up free events,

Unknown:

like I partnered with other organizations, like it was

Unknown:

endless of what I did for free to grow 1000s And what became

Unknown:

millions of dollars in revenue over the years. And so I think

Unknown:

that's a lie that you have to spend a lot of money. And, you

Unknown:

know, the secret is you don't you don't have to spend a lot of

Unknown:

money I would I would decide what you want to create in terms

Unknown:

of revenue and then see, see what the marketing opportunity

Unknown:

is. That would be easy. That's around you right now. Yeah,

Unknown:

I've been on the whole spectrum of marketing. I've run

Unknown:

television ads, full page newspaper ads. And I've also

Unknown:

like, stuck into Barnes and Nobles and put my business card

Unknown:

in a few very select books.

Unknown:

I was wondering who did that now? I know. Yeah, I've also

Unknown:

thrown rock flyers, you know, so yeah, I've done everything from

Unknown:

like, the very cheap to the very expensive, and here's what I'll

Unknown:

tell you is part of marketing is not the attention grabber. It's

Unknown:

the actual nurture to the sale. And so you know, that's when I

Unknown:

have people, it's like, oh, I just put all this money in

Unknown:

leads, and I didn't get anything. Like I really want to

Unknown:

look at your nurture sequence. And and that really is the

Unknown:

dating. Like, if you really thought about dating your

Unknown:

prospect, then, you know, what would you change? Or, or even

Unknown:

like, what would you add? I think a lot of times we miss

Unknown:

things, we think if we just throw a fishing line out there

Unknown:

with bait on it, that we should just have tons of fish coming

Unknown:

in. And you really got to slow down. It's not it's not hard

Unknown:

science, but just be smart about it. Like if you are dating

Unknown:

someone, and you're like, oh, I want to be in a relationship.

Unknown:

And so my dating consists of we're going to go to the same

Unknown:

coffee house every Saturday morning at eight o'clock. And

Unknown:

we're going to order the same things and sit there for the

Unknown:

same amount of time. How long is that relationship going to last?

Unknown:

I mean, it after three times anyway, like, I'm bored, we got

Unknown:

to do something else. It's relationships going nowhere. I

Unknown:

don't understand what's happening right now. You're a

Unknown:

robot. So it's like, you can really design like any kind of

Unknown:

mentioned, it's like having those three to five ways that

Unknown:

you actually get people's attention, and then actually

Unknown:

sitting down and being like, Okay, if I get this person's

Unknown:

attention here, how do I actually lead them to the sale?

Unknown:

Yeah, what are all the steps? And I think we, when we go over

Unknown:

our clients marketing, we're missing, they're missing a lot

Unknown:

of those steps. Right? It's like, well, then what happens

Unknown:

here is like, well, I'm, I'm putting together this whole

Unknown:

webinar, and you I'm going to drive traffic to it, and then

Unknown:

I'm going to make sales. Well, we've missed a whole bunch of

Unknown:

things there. You know, like, you know, so how are you going

Unknown:

to follow up and when are you gonna fall apart for that? And

Unknown:

then what does that look like? And how do you onboard someone?

Unknown:

How do you confirm this and, and, you know, I don't I don't

Unknown:

say all that stuff to be like, Oh, it's this big, hard, arduous

Unknown:

thing. It's not and that's why I like the dating thing, because

Unknown:

here's the truth. If you're interested in someone, you can

Unknown:

figure out how to date I'm in Florida with them. And you're

Unknown:

like thinking of what little creative things you can do.

Unknown:

Should I send them flowers of their work? I want to take them

Unknown:

to the special restaurant, if you want to pick Nick, I know

Unknown:

they love this band, I'm going to get concert tickets. They're

Unknown:

like, that is marketing guys. And everyone, everyone that's

Unknown:

listening probably has been in a relationship at least one time.

Unknown:

Unless you're four, and then you haven't. And if you're watching

Unknown:

this podcast, I want to talk to you if you're four, because

Unknown:

you're really smart. It's like, just do like, think about how to

Unknown:

date and make it exciting. And what would the next logical step

Unknown:

be? And that's the easiest way to break down your marketing to

Unknown:

have it be effective.

Unknown:

Awesome. We're gonna stop there, because we're at a time for part

Unknown:

one, Rebecca, this is awesome. So you know, part one, we talked

Unknown:

about teen time, and marketing. Part two, we're going to talk

Unknown:

about sales systems mindset, and Quantum. So you're not going to

Unknown:

miss that show. Rebecca, thanks for being here today. And

Unknown:

thanks. Thank you to our listeners all over the world.

Unknown:

Come back and listen to part two, you're not gonna want to

Unknown:

miss it. Alright, everybody, bye for now. Hey, everybody, welcome

Unknown:

back to part two. So you're listening to the quantum revenue

Unknown:

expansion where we make your annual income, your monthly

Unknown:

income. And today, my guest is back Rebecca Hall, we're talking

Unknown:

about seven secrets to scaling your business, we're talking

Unknown:

about the insider stuff and stuff that no one ever talks

Unknown:

about whether you want to go from six figures to seven

Unknown:

figures, or you just want to get through your first six figures,

Unknown:

this scaling conversation is for you. Here's what I'm gonna say

Unknown:

though, if you missed part one, go back and listen to it.

Unknown:

Because I tell you all the things about Rebecca that you

Unknown:

want to know, and you don't want to miss what we talked about,

Unknown:

which was team time and marketing. And you know, just

Unknown:

kind of all the secrets out there. So Rebecca, Welcome back,

Unknown:

we're just gonna jump in, because I want to make sure we

Unknown:

get to all the things. And so next we want to talk about

Unknown:

sales. So moving out of the marketing, which we had a really

Unknown:

fun conversation about what people miss about marketing, and

Unknown:

that it doesn't have to be hard and that there's really a

Unknown:

science to it. Once those prospects, those leads start

Unknown:

coming in, it's time to talk about sales. Chris is one of my

Unknown:

favorite topics I wrote the book selling with intention back in

Unknown:

the day, sometimes I go back and look at that book. And I'm like,

Unknown:

you know, it still makes sense today. Like there's, there are

Unknown:

very clear principles when it comes to, you know, sales and

Unknown:

selling. So from your perspective, having been in a

Unknown:

lot of people's different programs and rooms, and just,

Unknown:

you know, being a human on the planet, buying things for the

Unknown:

last X amount of years. What are the myths about selling? And

Unknown:

what do you think some of the secrets are?

Unknown:

Well, some of the myths are that I have to convince somebody, or

Unknown:

in this convincing game, so we like overdo the features and

Unknown:

benefits about why you should buy my thing, or why I'm so

Unknown:

amazing, or why you can trust me. And I think we're just

Unknown:

missing the mark. Anytime I've ever bought something. It's

Unknown:

because we that thing is solving a problem or meeting a need for

Unknown:

me. That's it. Like, it really is that simple. And you know, if

Unknown:

you go back and listen to this episode, where we're talking

Unknown:

about marketing and how you don't have to have 10s and 10s

Unknown:

of 1000s of leads, it kind of plays in here. Because if you

Unknown:

really know who your top 20% is, and you really understand what

Unknown:

their problems and their needs are. And you look at what you

Unknown:

have and say this solves that problem. Sales become very easy.

Unknown:

In fact, we say like people will buy, and that's a lot easier

Unknown:

than you selling my my, what I need food for my fridge. I just

Unknown:

get up on my own volition and go to the store. The February has

Unknown:

someone going door to door being like yep, food in your fridge,

Unknown:

you might want to think about coming to my store. Right? And

Unknown:

so I think sometimes we miss the simplicity of sales, where it's

Unknown:

not about convincing you that my thing or that I'm amazing. It's

Unknown:

that, hey, you have this problem. Here's the symptoms of

Unknown:

that problem. And my thing solves that.

Unknown:

Mm hmm. Right, like we always talk about you always add the or

Unknown:

meet a need, right, solve a problem, meet a need solve a

Unknown:

problem meet any like, what's the problem that you're solving

Unknown:

for your client or your prospect? And then what's the

Unknown:

need that meets for them? And we could spend, I mean, I remember

Unknown:

all the books, I read on sales and selling in the sales

Unknown:

process, and some were so complicated. I've never been

Unknown:

wrong with wanting to be in tears. And after a while, I just

Unknown:

realized that, so much of that wasn't necessary. You know, we,

Unknown:

you know, one of the chapters in selling with intention is

Unknown:

connecting with intention. Like when you connect with someone,

Unknown:

you have a real human conversation with them. And you

Unknown:

ask enough open ended questions, figure out what their problem

Unknown:

is, you can figure out like, oh, great, I can solve your problem,

Unknown:

or I'm gonna refer you to somebody else, right? To say

Unknown:

that. It's like, Hey, Rebecca, you know, if I can help you grow

Unknown:

your sales, I'd love to do that. If not, I'd love to refer you to

Unknown:

somebody else. And so for our listeners is like, can you say

Unknown:

something like that? Of course you can. And then from there,

Unknown:

it's like, ask those questions, literally open into questions

Unknown:

that are pain related or goal related. And how I mean, I mean,

Unknown:

that's what we do. That's Our whole process with talking to

Unknown:

our clients and our prospective clients, is just asking those

Unknown:

key questions of where are they in business right now? Where are

Unknown:

they stuck? Where do they want to go next? And can we do we

Unknown:

believe and this is really important for us, Rebecca, I

Unknown:

think we really take this seriously, do we believe we can

Unknown:

help the person in front of us and if we can, when we think

Unknown:

it's a disservice if we don't offer them a next step with us?

Unknown:

Absolutely. 100% That's why they're talking to you in the

Unknown:

first time in the first place. I am popular. Actually, that was a

Unknown:

kid. That's why we do this live right and see, right. So, yeah,

Unknown:

I think it's, it's having the confidence that you can solve

Unknown:

the problem you need, which here's the thing, it's not about

Unknown:

who you are as a person so much, or who you think you're not.

Unknown:

That confidence piece comes into sales all the time. You know,

Unknown:

like, oh, I don't, I hope that I can actually fulfill on this

Unknown:

thing, or I hope I do a good job, I hope they don't judge me

Unknown:

the way I do this thing for them. And that happens again,

Unknown:

you know, when you're, when you're in a service based

Unknown:

business, it seems to happen a lot. Okay, like whoever made my

Unknown:

pots and pans, I don't know who that is, they probably don't

Unknown:

even care if I like them or not. Right. But you know, service

Unknown:

based, you know, thing, then it does kind of like who has that

Unknown:

face behind the business. But I always talk here about

Unknown:

integrity. And I know that most of us have the integrity that if

Unknown:

there's something that you know, happens in the sales process, or

Unknown:

a fulfillment process that the clients aren't happy about, I

Unknown:

know that I'm Integris enough that I'm gonna do everything I

Unknown:

can to fix it. Mm hmm. And that's, that's what I lean on in

Unknown:

sales. Like right now, the conversation that we're having

Unknown:

the problem you say that you're having, I know, I can I know, I

Unknown:

can meet that I know, the thing that I offer fixes that problem,

Unknown:

and I want to do that for you. I want to I want to provide that

Unknown:

service for you. And I don't ever think for a second like,

Unknown:

well, what if it doesn't work? Or what if something goes wrong?

Unknown:

Yeah, I don't know. It's a variable. You know, we live in a

Unknown:

human world with humans and things go wrong all the time. Is

Unknown:

that the end of the world? No. Do they the things that go wrong

Unknown:

get fixed most of the time? Absolutely. And you give that

Unknown:

same grace to someone that you bought something from if you

Unknown:

weren't happy with something and said, Hey, this isn't working

Unknown:

for me, or I ordered this steak medium, and it's overcooked,

Unknown:

like, is it at the end of the world? No. And if they fix it,

Unknown:

you actually like Yelp? Those are great. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz they

Unknown:

fix my problem. So sometimes your client actually appreciates

Unknown:

the care at which you deliver or fulfill more than, than even the

Unknown:

thing itself. And so there's just got to be that trust.

Unknown:

Yeah. Well, and, you know, in our company, and Ursula Inc,

Unknown:

it's like, we don't necessarily celebrate our errors, but we

Unknown:

kind of laugh at ourselves. And we were very transparent with

Unknown:

our clients. And there are times when it's like, you know, the

Unknown:

wrong email goes out or a wrong zoom link for the 100th time or

Unknown:

something, you know, something that we've had staff

Unknown:

transitions, and that's affected things in handoffs. And rather

Unknown:

than just being like mortified and feeling terrible, we tell

Unknown:

our clients, we're like, here's what's going on, here's why this

Unknown:

happened. Here's what we learned from it. And in the end, most of

Unknown:

our clients are lovely and very, like, they're like, most of them

Unknown:

don't even care, right? They're like, okay, no big deal. I got,

Unknown:

like, get over it, that we care more than they do. And or

Unknown:

they're like, I'm so glad you talked about that. Because now

Unknown:

that I'm me, I know what to do or know how to have the

Unknown:

opportunity to just be transparent. Yeah. All right. So

Unknown:

we're gonna keep moving because I think the state like the the

Unknown:

real core of the sales pieces, is don't make it harder than it

Unknown:

needs to be. Don't think you have to write super complicated

Unknown:

sales scripts, you know, solve a problem, meet a need, ask open

Unknown:

ended question questions, find their pain point, can you help

Unknown:

them if you can, it's a disservice to not offer that. So

Unknown:

once that's all happening, like we have team run, you know, we

Unknown:

have team helping us we're growing the business, we've got

Unknown:

a handle on our time, the market is going out, sales are coming

Unknown:

in, and then stuff starts to break in the background, right?

Unknown:

Like there's, you know, systems and operations like, is

Unknown:

critical. It's definitely not my favorite thing to talk about.

Unknown:

But it's definitely my favorite thing to fix in my business

Unknown:

because it makes my life easier. So a lot of times we're talking

Unknown:

about it. What I know it's something you love you geek out

Unknown:

on it. What do you think people get wrong about systems and

Unknown:

operations? Or you know,

Unknown:

yeah, they don't think it through. They do there's so much

Unknown:

energy attached to the money making part or the sales part.

Unknown:

And we get so excited like, Oh, I got a sale or we're gonna hit

Unknown:

a sales goal that we forget the the next part, which is actually

Unknown:

fulfilling, right, it's kind of like being excited that you got

Unknown:

married and you got the ring and you got the piece of paper, and

Unknown:

then like totally dropping the ball on like the rest of the

Unknown:

relationship, right? So you know, it's really taking the

Unknown:

time to delineate the steps fulfillment, right. And that's

Unknown:

where systems come in. And we did this training, I think it

Unknown:

was last month. With our clients. We talked about like,

Unknown:

what what is the system? Like? What do you think a system is?

Unknown:

And you know what, what came back was, you know, yeah, it's a

Unknown:

bunch of tasks that you do to get something done. And it's

Unknown:

like, huh, so here's all these ingredients to make a chocolate

Unknown:

cake, go for it, figure it out. It's, it's, I call it the

Unknown:

context within the content. You have someone buy in, like,

Unknown:

here's what they get, like, really think about how that how

Unknown:

we move from one task or one piece of that task to the next.

Unknown:

And that's what creates a system, a system is something

Unknown:

that can run pretty much by itself. A lot of things that we

Unknown:

consume are part of systems, you go to McDonald's, that's a

Unknown:

system, you go you buy a car, that car was built with a

Unknown:

system. And I think a lot of times we miss that, because we

Unknown:

tend to be creative entrepreneurs, we don't like the

Unknown:

details, it's not the fun part, I'll tell you, what's really fun

Unknown:

is when you have a system that works and does things for you.

Unknown:

And then you can go do fun stuff yourself, that aren't in your

Unknown:

business, or that you can assist them so good that you can hand

Unknown:

it off to somebody else, and they can do it. So systems and

Unknown:

operations are super important. I think the biggest thing was we

Unknown:

just don't think through it, we don't take the time to think

Unknown:

through what it is. And or we put so much that if it gets

Unknown:

broken, we have like a come apart, we devalue ourselves or

Unknown:

our word or whatever. And you know, it just doesn't have to be

Unknown:

that way, just step in, FIX IT systems evolve over time,

Unknown:

because we live in an ever evolving world. You don't you

Unknown:

don't go and do things the way that you used to do them.

Unknown:

Because of a lot of things, you get older, you get sore, there's

Unknown:

the technology, they're just a different cultural way of doing

Unknown:

things. And so we forget that it's an evolution of the system.

Unknown:

But I really think people don't stop. It's not about being

Unknown:

smart, logical, that's not how you build a system, it's just

Unknown:

being willing to be present with the fulfillment, or the thing

Unknown:

that you're trying to get done. And just taking the time to do

Unknown:

that. And then once you do that, you know, like if you had I love

Unknown:

metaphors always say a metaphor. You know, if you had a yard full

Unknown:

of weeds, and you only you know, handled those weeds, three or

Unknown:

four times a year, that would be a crappy project, like you would

Unknown:

take days and you'd be sore and all that. But the truth is, if

Unknown:

you cleared all that once, and then you have a system where

Unknown:

every week, he just went and poked with just come pulled,

Unknown:

which is just come up. That was not a hard system, it takes a

Unknown:

few minutes and you handle it and then you've got the result

Unknown:

of that system all year round. So it's thinking of it in terms

Unknown:

of that just being willing to dig in. It's not hard. It's just

Unknown:

be present, take the time, what is the process? What needs to

Unknown:

happen? What are the key points, document it? How often do you

Unknown:

need to do that? Yeah, and I do think that's fine. Some people

Unknown:

might be like, Wow, I don't want to be a business owner. Now.

Unknown:

Thanks, Rebecca. But you know, if you can think of someone else

Unknown:

can do it. So that's the other cool part about it is just you

Unknown:

can think it through. That's where you hired out?

Unknown:

Well, I think from a practical piece, and this is what I wish

Unknown:

someone else would have told me, I think one of the secrets is

Unknown:

like, it's like, well, how would I even began, I, I'd love to pay

Unknown:

attention to when I start to do something more than one that I

Unknown:

don't really want to be doing or I shouldn't be doing it, it goes

Unknown:

back to, should I be doing this? Or should I delegate it right?

Unknown:

Or should it be done at all, maybe maybe we do something that

Unknown:

just total waste of time, like we find these things in my

Unknown:

business. And I'm like, stop doing that, like we need to

Unknown:

streamline this even more, there needs to be a better system in

Unknown:

place. And so, you know, as a CEO, watch for those things that

Unknown:

you're doing that you're like, why am I doing this? Again? Like

Unknown:

if you find yourself asking that it's because you don't have a

Unknown:

system in place, there's something missing?

Unknown:

And also, when you're doing something, know what the result

Unknown:

like, why are you doing that thing? Because that goes back to

Unknown:

our time conversation where it's like, I'm just spending time

Unknown:

doing things in the business. Yeah. But we're actually don't

Unknown:

know, like, really what the result is of a lot of things

Unknown:

that we do or where it fits or if it's efficient, or, like you

Unknown:

said, if I even need to be doing it. So part of it is just it's

Unknown:

not about spending time guys. It's about really getting

Unknown:

present to what the process is so that you can get to the

Unknown:

completion of that or the result or the inspection of what you're

Unknown:

looking for.

Unknown:

Yeah, and human design projector and you really validated the

Unknown:

fact that you're like, oh, yeah, of course, that's why you

Unknown:

delegate everything, which I still want to know more about

Unknown:

that. But I think it's like, knowing, you know, if you're not

Unknown:

a generator, if you don't know what human design is, you'll go

Unknown:

learn more about it. But if you don't know your human side, you

Unknown:

can. There's a lot of places you can just get it for free. I'm

Unknown:

sure Rebecca is gonna have that on her site one of these days,

Unknown:

but you know, know how you operate for me, whether it's you

Unknown:

and about human side or not, like there's just, I'm not good

Unknown:

at admin stuff. I shouldn't be doing it. There should be a

Unknown:

system in place or a team member to support me with that. And so,

Unknown:

I think of delegating As a sport and creating systems, it's like

Unknown:

there's a better way to do it. Okay, we've got lots of time

Unknown:

left, I want to make sure we have time to talk about mindset.

Unknown:

And then the quantum realm, which has been a big, a big

Unknown:

conversation in the co creation community this year, which is

Unknown:

one of our, it's our coaching group for seven figure clients

Unknown:

and above. So let's talk about mindset first, which I would say

Unknown:

mindset, big conversation at this table with our clients who

Unknown:

are going from six figures to seven figures of that, like

Unknown:

really asking, Who do I need to be? Who do I need to be if I

Unknown:

want to have a seven figure business? And, you know, it's

Unknown:

like, I know, this is an area I struggled, I would say, mindset

Unknown:

was probably my biggest struggle, as a CEO wanting to

Unknown:

grow my own business, when I left someone else's business to

Unknown:

start my own. And it's just, it's a constant piece of like,

Unknown:

what's the story? I'm telling myself? Or what's the belief

Unknown:

that I, you know, and it's so much easier to hear other

Unknown:

people's stories and their limiting beliefs and things when

Unknown:

they say them, but hearing our own, it's like, you gotta have

Unknown:

someone around, you gotta have a coach or someone else like

Unknown:

Rebecca, you always say, Well, what do you say? Lots of things.

Unknown:

But you know, is that, is that really what you want to believe?

Unknown:

Or where are you going with that? Are you you have kind of a

Unknown:

stop process. And I do the same with our clients. So what are

Unknown:

the secrets about mindset that you don't think? Oh, no,

Unknown:

I think one of the myths that I see about mindset is people

Unknown:

think it happens in the business, they read business

Unknown:

books, they read, you know, they need to be inspired to change

Unknown:

their mindset about their business. And the truth is, his

Unknown:

mindset is the work you do outside of the business to

Unknown:

benefit the inside of the business. And it's not about

Unknown:

what you know, or it's not about, you know, reading the

Unknown:

latest book and getting like, pumped up and inspired. Like,

Unknown:

um, I've shifted my mindset, I'm totally into this now. You know,

Unknown:

mindset really is a way of being, and it's who you're being

Unknown:

and, and that's more of a whole conversation. It's not, who are

Unknown:

you being when you're a wife, or who you being when you're a

Unknown:

business owner, or who you being when you're a CEO, it really is

Unknown:

the outside perspective, that, you know, permeates or

Unknown:

punctures, or you know, who you're being or what you're

Unknown:

doing all day. You know, I have people tell me, like, you know,

Unknown:

you don't think that anything's impossible, like, anywhere I

Unknown:

talked, whether it's in business or out of business with my kids,

Unknown:

as my friends, everything's a possibility. And that says, I've

Unknown:

worked really hard in that mindset, where I want to see

Unknown:

solutions, I want to see opportunities, I don't want to

Unknown:

see where we're stopped. I don't want to, I don't want to just

Unknown:

succumb to like, well, that's not possible. And so I've done a

Unknown:

lot of work on the outside to just change how I'm thinking,

Unknown:

whether it had to do with business or not didn't matter. I

Unknown:

wanted to be a person with a mindset of possibilities of

Unknown:

opportunities. And so that resonates anywhere, you know,

Unknown:

like, I'll challenge anyone that's like, well, I can't do

Unknown:

that, or that's not possible, or that's not gonna work. The very

Unknown:

first thing I'm like, why, you know, what evidence do you have

Unknown:

that that's not going to work? So I really, you know, it's not

Unknown:

about just picking up the book. Mindset, in my opinion, is who

Unknown:

you're being all the time, not just in the business. Mindset

Unknown:

isn't only for the business mindset is for just how you're

Unknown:

navigating through life.

Unknown:

Yeah, yeah. And like how you're being who you're being in every

Unknown:

moment and and that it's a choice and that you have, you

Unknown:

have a choice in that. And often, you know, a client might

Unknown:

come to us and say, here's, here's what's happening. And the

Unknown:

question is, well, is that what you want? Like, do you want that

Unknown:

to be true? Or do you want something else because we can

Unknown:

get really wrapped up in our stories, and just get locked in

Unknown:

like, this is how it is. That's not true. That might be how you

Unknown:

think it is right now. But what else is available to you? I have

Unknown:

a client today, like literally today, who was like, you know,

Unknown:

she's like, I've been rewriting we met in 2013. I think she's

Unknown:

like, I've been rewriting my story all these years. And she

Unknown:

did like she took the time to rewrite her story. And she's a

Unknown:

tremendous story. I hope she writes a book about it someday,

Unknown:

because from where she was to where she is today, she's

Unknown:

different person, but she was willing to rewrite the story.

Unknown:

And when I say reread the story, sometimes it's literally like

Unknown:

writing down your future and what you want. And then it's

Unknown:

being willing to live it on a day to day basis of what am I

Unknown:

choosing in this moment, which really brings us to the quantum

Unknown:

realm. I know you and I both have. We have studied a lot of

Unknown:

metaphysics, we've studied quantum physics, and the

Unknown:

cocreation collective with our CEOs who are over seven figures

Unknown:

who talked a lot about about this, you know, even making

Unknown:

quantum jumps and from a scientific perspective that that

Unknown:

is a real thing, that we make quantum jumps all the time. The

Unknown:

question is, how can we become more intentional about it? So

Unknown:

things we're doing that group, which I think has been just so

Unknown:

much fun to see, you know, just see the thought like, just to

Unknown:

see what's happening. So, you know, I don't I mean, I think

Unknown:

when we first started working together We were talking about

Unknown:

this a little bit, but not to this level. So how does the

Unknown:

quantum conversation like? Where's that for you right now?

Unknown:

What do you feel like you've discovered over the last year or

Unknown:

two in this space?

Unknown:

Yeah, I mean, the quantum is definitely what we don't know

Unknown:

what we don't know. Right? And so then the question is, are you

Unknown:

closed off? To what you don't know? What do you know? You

Unknown:

don't know? Are you open to what you don't know that you don't

Unknown:

know. And I really think there's an area of trust that has to

Unknown:

step in with this. And whether it's like, a faith or a trust in

Unknown:

God or a trust in the universe. But the truth is, is, you know,

Unknown:

as humans, we, on our own, we have a hard time bringing

Unknown:

something into belief, right? It's only when as a collective,

Unknown:

we demonstrate that for each other that then the quantum

Unknown:

becomes real, right? You talk about quantum jumps, and

Unknown:

someone's like, well, this happened to me. And then

Unknown:

someone's like, Well, that happened to me too. And then all

Unknown:

of a sudden, this quantum jump is, is a realistic thing. And so

Unknown:

I think it's, you know, I was listening to training today, in

Unknown:

my certification, and we were talking about how life really

Unknown:

isn't strategic, but we treat it as such. And the thing and does

Unknown:

it matter that life is strategic or not?

Unknown:

Say more about that? What do you mean? Well,

Unknown:

just that we spend a lot of time like laying out plans of sure we

Unknown:

spend a lot of time determining how things will come about, or

Unknown:

how they need to play out? Or what denotes this or that. And

Unknown:

the truth is, in quantum realm, does that even matter? Because

Unknown:

in the quantum realm, things just happen.

Unknown:

Right? You just you choose it without trying to figure it out.

Unknown:

And yeah, we're

Unknown:

not talking about fate, right? Where you don't have freewill or

Unknown:

anything like that? Of course you do. But at the ease of what

Unknown:

you approach, you know, things happening or your life like what

Unknown:

are you really doing? Are you must lean it? Are you taking it

Unknown:

the hard way? Do you think it has to be a certain way? Are you

Unknown:

actually just open to the experience and what you don't

Unknown:

know and let things happen to you, or receiving? You know,

Unknown:

we've talked a lot in the last couple of weeks about

Unknown:

manifesting versus receiving. And it's not that manifesting

Unknown:

isn't great. But manifesting is turned into like, a hustle and

Unknown:

grind. And if I work hard enough, if I think hard enough,

Unknown:

then the manifesting will happen. And I don't really

Unknown:

personally, I don't see that happening in a quantum realm. A

Unknown:

quantum realm was kind of like a serendipitous, like loop of, of,

Unknown:

what would you say acceptance, receiving and desire? Yes. So I

Unknown:

think it's, it's been, I mean, I'm not gonna claim to be an

Unknown:

expert in everything, but it's definitely something I've been

Unknown:

playing with and practicing with the last year or two. And what

Unknown:

I'm noticing for myself is the ease at which things show up for

Unknown:

me, and the less stress or attachment that I'm putting on

Unknown:

the simplest of things, and, you know, yeah, everything's turning

Unknown:

up roses, it's great. We'll always be like that, I don't

Unknown:

know. But I'm not gonna, like get strategic and try and, you

Unknown:

know, control it and hoard it, or whatever. But it definitely

Unknown:

has me more present in life. And then a, I'm open to able open to

Unknown:

be able to see the things that actually are awesome. And

Unknown:

Quantum.

Unknown:

Yeah. Awesome. Thank you. And I think that, you know, for our

Unknown:

listeners, just at a high level, we could have a deep

Unknown:

conversation about, you know, quantum physics to remember that

Unknown:

it all starts with choosing what you want, make the decision and

Unknown:

get all in like, this is what I want, this is what I'm choosing,

Unknown:

I'm all in. And then watch what happens around you. And you

Unknown:

know, be willing to take those steps, maybe you can manifest on

Unknown:

the couch, but there might be some steps involved with that,

Unknown:

which I think is a perfect place to land this plane. So Rebecca

Unknown:

Hall, thanks for hanging out with us today. We know the

Unknown:

secrets to scaling the stuff that no one's really talking

Unknown:

about. And so we'll definitely have you back. Wish you a

Unknown:

phenomenal year. Thanks for all you do.

Unknown:

For our for this with your friends. It's a great

Unknown:

conversation, like there's

Unknown:

definitely share this with your friends. Thank you and leave us

Unknown:

a review. If this speaks to you. And we'll see you back next

Unknown:

week. Have a great week, everybody. Take care. Guys, it's

Unknown:

Ursula and I just want to stop by and chat with you really

Unknown:

quickly. Before we jump into the show. On February 24, we have an

Unknown:

event called scale to seven, which I'm super excited about.

Unknown:

And if you haven't registered yet, we have a few seats left.

Unknown:

It's we're holding it at 20 CEOs, so 20 CEOs who are looking

Unknown:

to grow from six figures to seven figures or six figures to

Unknown:

multi six figures. And if that's you, and you're you know, you've

Unknown:

been wanting to do this for a long time, and you feel like

Unknown:

you're stuck at a certain income ceiling. We'd love to have you

Unknown:

join us. It's on the 24th of February from one to 3pm Central

Unknown:

Time. And a couple things we're going to cover two things to

Unknown:

power strategies power strategy number one is to help you

Unknown:

discover your unique scale to seven formula. I think we

Unknown:

because it couldn't be myself and Rebecca Hall, our master

Unknown:

coach, she's going to be supporting the session. So it's

Unknown:

I with the two of us together with the kind of coaching we're

Unknown:

going to do and how we're going to support you in a small group.

Unknown:

It's gonna be so powerful. So We're gonna dig into like, what?

Unknown:

What your numbers are right? So are you at 200,000? You want to

Unknown:

be at 400,000? What would that look like? Maybe your turn 1000,

Unknown:

you want to be at 600,000? Like, what's your unique formula to

Unknown:

get there and really look at like, what's the fastest and

Unknown:

easiest way to make that happen? And so if that's a conversation,

Unknown:

you've been wanting to have to get some support round, we'd

Unknown:

love to have you and then power strategy number two, is to

Unknown:

reveal and release your number one block to scaling your

Unknown:

business. Once you're clear on like, here's I want to how I

Unknown:

want to grow, a lot of times something pops up, I would say

Unknown:

most of the time, most of the time, there's something that's

Unknown:

in the way, or you have already gotten there, right. So what's

Unknown:

stopping you? What's your number one block, so we're going to

Unknown:

take you through our signature process for discovering and

Unknown:

releasing a block so that you can move forward with ease and

Unknown:

grace. The best part is the $1,000 value we're giving away

Unknown:

for free. We're 20 CEOs who are really ready to scale this year.

Unknown:

So if that's you, we would love to have you come and hang out

Unknown:

and we'll have it in the show notes below scale the number to

Unknown:

the number seven so it looks like scale to seven scale.

Unknown:

20 seven.com get registered. We'll see you there. Alright

Unknown:

everybody. That's it for now. Have a great week. And I hope
