Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach. And welcome to the Weeniecast.

We've been on this journey for two years now, talking about ADHD and how it holds you back in your business.

But it's time for a transformation.

Just like you, I've been navigating my own challenges and re-evaluating my goals.

One thing has become abundantly clear: the why behind your business success is crucial.

In this episode, "Nonprofits and New Beginnings," we're getting into the why behind wanting a successful business.

Transcripts

Speaker:

You and I have a big decision to make. Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business

Speaker:

strategist and money mindset coach. And welcome to the

Speaker:

Weeniecast. Hear

Speaker:

ye, hear ye. Listeners of the Weeniecast, we need to

Speaker:

talk. And I know that's like, no one wants to hear that. No one wants

Speaker:

to hear the. We gotta talk. Okay. I swear I'm not breaking up with you.

Speaker:

This isn't that kind of conversation, but it's kind of that

Speaker:

conversation. We are solid. Two years into this

Speaker:

relationship, we've been talking about ADHD and how it holds

Speaker:

you back in your business and how to get over that, how to

Speaker:

really work with how your brain works, to go and start a

Speaker:

business and scale a business and do all the things in the business that

Speaker:

are required for you to be massively successful. And

Speaker:

it has been one of the deepest pleasures of my

Speaker:

life to be able to do that for you. And also, I have

Speaker:

ADHd. And my hyper fixation on talking

Speaker:

about ADHD has come to an end.

Speaker:

And the weenie cast isn't going anywhere. The weenie cast will always be here.

Speaker:

But besides the fact that I'm feeling just complete with really

Speaker:

focusing on ADHD, I realize I've been being a

Speaker:

massive weenie in my own business, and I've

Speaker:

been playing along with how I think you're being a weenie in your own life

Speaker:

and your own business. Squirrel, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel. What does it mean

Speaker:

to not be a weenie? It doesn't mean that you're not afraid.

Speaker:

It doesn't mean that you're not nervous about doing something outside of your comfort zone.

Speaker:

It doesn't mean that you don't have doubts. It means you have

Speaker:

all those things, they're still going on and you do it anyway.

Speaker:

One of the things that I love about each and every one of my clients

Speaker:

is that, yeah, they want to make a lot of money, but they want to

Speaker:

do it while they're doing something good for the world. They want to have actual

Speaker:

impact. And part of it is they want to have impact with the clients

Speaker:

they work with. They want to genuinely help these. These people, these

Speaker:

companies, whatever it is that they're up to, to be better

Speaker:

in some way, shape or form, to have a better life,

Speaker:

to get better results, and also

Speaker:

they want to have a greater impact on the world around them.

Speaker:

You know, a lot of my clients want to make more money so that they

Speaker:

can donate to causes that they deeply care about. Other clients

Speaker:

want to have a really successful business that can kind of fund

Speaker:

a nonprofit that they want to start while others want to use

Speaker:

their influence in their business to impact their communities.

Speaker:

You know, maybe by running for office or supporting people who are running for

Speaker:

office. All things that I have been

Speaker:

doing with my life in the last year. And guys, that's where it's

Speaker:

at. Being successful in your business. Big whoop.

Speaker:

A big piece. I feel like we've been missing in the weenie cast is

Speaker:

the why you want to have a successful business. What's the

Speaker:

reason? Right? Because knowing how to do something is only going to be so

Speaker:

helpful if you really understand why you want it. Because if you don't know why

Speaker:

you want it, you're never going to go and do it because you won't have

Speaker:

the motivation to get started. You know, the cool thing about being

Speaker:

me, if I'm going to say this, is thankfully I don't

Speaker:

attract a whole lot of narcissists or sociopaths into my world. If

Speaker:

you're listening to this, I pretty much can guarantee you're not a narcissist or a

Speaker:

sociopath. At least I hope so. If you are, then stop

Speaker:

listening now. Go away. Leave us alone. You're not welcome

Speaker:

here. And because there aren't a whole lot of narcissists and

Speaker:

sociopaths here, what are they driven by? They're driven for their

Speaker:

own goals. They're driven for the things that they want, which, I mean, I'm not

Speaker:

saying that that's wrong. I think we should all let go of the shame

Speaker:

of going after what we want. And also, like,

Speaker:

just because you want it is not going to be be enough

Speaker:

of a motivation for the typical weenie cast listener to go after

Speaker:

their big goals. The motivation is I want to create a better future

Speaker:

for my children. Motivation is I want to be able to provide for my

Speaker:

parents in their retirement. The motivation is I want to be able to give back

Speaker:

to my community. I want to be able to support causes like women's

Speaker:

rights, like racial equity, whatever it

Speaker:

is that you are super passionate about, that's going to be the thing that's going

Speaker:

to push you to be more successful in your business.

Speaker:

So going forward, the weeniecast is really going to be focused on

Speaker:

how can you have impact? What can you do

Speaker:

in your own business as you're growing it to have impact in these

Speaker:

areas. Another element of this is that we're no longer looking

Speaker:

at the minute little things that you can do to get

Speaker:

1% better each day. Not to say that those aren't important, but

Speaker:

we've covered them. We have over 100 episodes teaching you how

Speaker:

to do those things. What we're focused on going forward,

Speaker:

elevating the business you already have.

Speaker:

And it might mean scaling the business, which a lot of people don't even

Speaker:

know what scaling means. It's not a skin

Speaker:

condition. Scaling means you've designed a business

Speaker:

that can make more money without you working more.

Speaker:

You know, for my coaches out there, I know a lot of us have been

Speaker:

sold this idea that scaling is like, oh, well, you work with clients one on

Speaker:

one now run a group program. A group program still

Speaker:

requires you to show up. It still requires you to show up and

Speaker:

be present in that group. Teaching, coaching, whatever

Speaker:

it is that you do, it's not scalable. And the longer you're

Speaker:

chained to this business, needing to be present in it every

Speaker:

single day to make sure that you can make more money is

Speaker:

less time you can put to having an impact in the world.

Speaker:

It's less time that you can donate to a good cause, less time that you

Speaker:

can, you know, do other work that'll actually change

Speaker:

the game. So we're gonna be talking about how you can actually scale

Speaker:

a business, how you can take a business that's making a measly

Speaker:

2000 a month and grow it to half a million a year

Speaker:

and more. Not only that, we're going to be talking about how you can

Speaker:

acquire other businesses, how you can

Speaker:

become a fully fledged entrepreneur who

Speaker:

isn't just a singular business owner. You know, what you can look

Speaker:

at that will be complementary to what you already do.

Speaker:

I'm really excited for this part because this is a journey that I'm on in

Speaker:

this moment. And I want to show you behind the scenes as I'm

Speaker:

scaling, as I am buying other businesses, as I am

Speaker:

starting other businesses. Cause for me to sit here every week

Speaker:

and tell you to stop being a weenie and do the thing that's outside your

Speaker:

comfort zone. I better be doing that, too. And let me tell

Speaker:

you, this is way outside my comfort zone. It's very uncomfortable.

Speaker:

But I know doing this is going to be the key to me

Speaker:

having the impact on the world that I want to have.

Speaker:

And the impact I want to have is going to be different from yours. But

Speaker:

let me share with you what I have envisioned in my vision

Speaker:

going forward for my life and my business and the work I'm gonna

Speaker:

do. One of the things that I'm gonna be sharing with

Speaker:

you as I build it is this nonprofit that I'm launching

Speaker:

this month called the Gay Birthday Club. Now, it sounds silly but

Speaker:

there's a whole population of folks in the LGBTQ community

Speaker:

who don't get a call from their parents on their birthday saying, happy birthday,

Speaker:

I love you, or singing a cringy happy birthday song.

Speaker:

And it's something that I saw someone on LinkedIn

Speaker:

shared about how they no longer get a call from their dad on their birthday,

Speaker:

and it's really made their birthday a hard day for them. And as

Speaker:

someone who has taken for granted that I've always gotten a birthday call from my

Speaker:

parents, both of them, and from other family members singing happy birthday and

Speaker:

celebrating me, it's something that I realized would be so simple

Speaker:

to fix in the world, to reach out to people on their day

Speaker:

and say, hey, you're special. There are people thinking about you, and there's so much

Speaker:

love coming your way. Part of this nonprofit will also be a huge

Speaker:

fundraising arm where we're raising money not just for our operations,

Speaker:

which I'm anticipating will be fairly minimal,

Speaker:

but also raising money for organizations like the Human Rights Campaign and the

Speaker:

Trevor Project and organizations that are doing far more serious work

Speaker:

in the LGBTQ community. That's the nonprofit I'm

Speaker:

launching. Whatever nonprofit you have wanted to start,

Speaker:

I want the Weenie cast to not only be

Speaker:

the battle cry for you to just go out and get started, but I

Speaker:

also want it to be a resource for you to be able to turn to,

Speaker:

to come up with the idea, to figure out what your first steps

Speaker:

are going to be, to understand what kinds of

Speaker:

people you need to call upon for help and to really

Speaker:

see that because you have this idea, I

Speaker:

want you to be able to see that because you're identifying this need in the

Speaker:

world, that there is need, and that there is a way for you

Speaker:

to become the change that is needed in whatever community you

Speaker:

want to support and to see how that one thing that you do

Speaker:

can have a ripple effect. It can have a greater

Speaker:

impact on the world. You know, the other aspect of my work

Speaker:

that I and really growing is doing some political

Speaker:

consulting and working on political campaigns. You know, because

Speaker:

right now we're coming up. If you're living in the United States, you're aware of

Speaker:

this. We're coming up on a very serious election.

Speaker:

Women's rights are at stake, where the safety

Speaker:

and security of people of color, of the LGBTQ

Speaker:

community, of folks who weren't born in the United States, they

Speaker:

are literally on the line, along with a ton of other issues

Speaker:

and, well, no, like, I'm probably not running for office. It's not an ambition

Speaker:

of mine. I know I can have impact by using

Speaker:

what I know as a business owner, what I know as a business strategist. What

Speaker:

I know is someone who does a lot of marketing consulting. I know I can

Speaker:

help. I know I can do work that will actually make

Speaker:

voices stronger and make it far more likely that

Speaker:

good people who have a sincere desire

Speaker:

to protect the most vulnerable people in our society,

Speaker:

I know I can help them get elected. And so I'm going to be doing

Speaker:

more of that. And I will be sharing behind the scenes to show you how

Speaker:

I'm doing that. So you can see how you can use your own

Speaker:

skills to have similar impact. If you want to get

Speaker:

involved in politics or in your local community along

Speaker:

with all of this, that's a major aspect to elevating

Speaker:

your business and taking things to that next level. Ooh, what am I

Speaker:

gonna say next? Well, you'll have to keep listening to find out. But first, squirrel,

Speaker:

squirrel, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel.

Speaker:

Along with all of this, a major aspect to

Speaker:

elevating your business and taking things to that next level

Speaker:

is demanding to be seen, being

Speaker:

terrified to stand up on stage and loudly

Speaker:

declare your beliefs, your

Speaker:

expertise, and commanding that attention in

Speaker:

the next year. I'm actually doing this really exciting partnership with two former clients

Speaker:

of mine. One who does pr coaching, the other one who

Speaker:

does branding coaching. And we're going to be leading a group of

Speaker:

really brave business owners who don't just want to have a

Speaker:

successful business, they want to be a household name. They want to

Speaker:

be seen and known as the go to

Speaker:

expert in their space. And in our program, we're going to be guiding

Speaker:

them. Exactly how do they create a

Speaker:

recognizable brand? We're going to be walking them through

Speaker:

step by step. How do they have an ironclad

Speaker:

reputation? By getting them featured in

Speaker:

magazines, in news articles, on the news, on tv.

Speaker:

My next guest is the host of the US top 5% rated

Speaker:

podcast, the Weenie cast. We're gonna be showing them exactly how they

Speaker:

can leverage themselves into getting featured

Speaker:

for free. And I'll be personally guiding each and every one of

Speaker:

these clients through how to create an offer that is truly

Speaker:

scalable so that they don't have to work harder, work

Speaker:

longer hours to make more money. And as we lead this

Speaker:

group to the trifecta of recognition and

Speaker:

reputation and revenue, I'll be sharing the behind the scenes with

Speaker:

you. So that even if you're not at that point yet, you can

Speaker:

understand what steps you need to take in your business right now to set you

Speaker:

up to step center stage and finally,

Speaker:

we're going to be talking about what it takes for you to actually believe that

Speaker:

you can do this. You know, telling you tips and tricks on how to do

Speaker:

something is great, but it's useless if you don't think it's

Speaker:

possible for you. You know, you can read 17 books on how to

Speaker:

run a marathon, but if you don't actually believe that you can run a

Speaker:

marathon, are you actually going to successfully train for it? That's

Speaker:

not how that works. If you don't believe you can do a handstand, you're not

Speaker:

going to start training and learning how to do things to do a handstand.

Speaker:

If you don't think you can act, you're not going to start auditioning.

Speaker:

The business world and the manifestation world are

Speaker:

kind of suspicious of each other, and rightly so,

Speaker:

because there are a lot of manifestation coaches out there who talk

Speaker:

about, I manifested $5,000 last week, and here's the

Speaker:

mantra that got me there. Business people are looking at that and being like, you're

Speaker:

a fucking nut job. What do you mean? Like? No,

Speaker:

like, that's not how that works. You have to actually just go and make the

Speaker:

money. And the manifestation world's like, cool, like, going and making the money.

Speaker:

Like, how do you do that? Energetically? The manifestation

Speaker:

world understands that there's an energetic and belief system that's

Speaker:

required to make any of those business opportunities possible.

Speaker:

You've been with me for a couple years now. You know,

Speaker:

I see both sides of this, and one of the main focuses going

Speaker:

forward is going to be how do you back up your

Speaker:

belief system? How do you shift your

Speaker:

own internal timeline so that when those business opportunities come your

Speaker:

way, you're able to identify them and, well, not

Speaker:

fearlessly, because we're still wheaties here, right? But how

Speaker:

to be afraid of going for it and do it anyway? How do you face

Speaker:

the risk of rejection? How do you make

Speaker:

decisions that are difficult decisions

Speaker:

to make and see them through? I'm doing it

Speaker:

right now. You know, I'll show you behind the scenes in this

Speaker:

moment. You know, there's absolutely a side of me that's like, oh,

Speaker:

God, I put all this work, two whole years, over

Speaker:

100 episodes, and really, like, reworked all of my

Speaker:

branding to really cater to folks with ADHD. You

Speaker:

know, that could absolutely be seen as, like, oh, my God, like, I

Speaker:

failed. I failed. Like, I picked something that was the wrong

Speaker:

niche. That would be a choice I could make in this moment, but it's

Speaker:

not the choice I'm making because there's no shame in changing your

Speaker:

mind. There's absolutely no shame in growing and

Speaker:

evolving, in realizing that the focus

Speaker:

you had for one period of your life or your business

Speaker:

has kind of run its course for you. And there doesn't have to

Speaker:

be any justification to change your mind. One of the biggest fears my

Speaker:

clients have is like, what if I pick the wrong niche? What if I choose

Speaker:

something that, you know, he, like, is successful

Speaker:

and I like doing for a while, but then all of a sudden it loses

Speaker:

its zhush for me. Like, the goose gets juiced and then there's

Speaker:

nothing left.

Speaker:

And if we're being real, you know, we're a club of people with

Speaker:

ADHD, it's just not realistic for us to stick with the same thing

Speaker:

forever. It's just not, you know, I'm

Speaker:

going to change. I'm going to lean in and change when I feel like

Speaker:

I'm done with something and I'm going to do it publicly

Speaker:

and I'm going to show you behind the scenes of it, because I want you

Speaker:

to know that you do not need to have a greater justification for changing your

Speaker:

mind on something. You do not need to have a greater justification to

Speaker:

say, you know what? This part of my business, I'm feeling complete here,

Speaker:

feeling done. I'm going to mix it up. I'm going to change it. I'm going

Speaker:

to move on to something else. Because guess what? Just because you want

Speaker:

it is valid enough. That is a good enough reason.

Speaker:

And if any of you who are listening right now

Speaker:

have had this thought in the back of your mind that, you know, what I'm

Speaker:

doing right now just doesn't feel like a fit anymore. Just doesn't. Doesn't

Speaker:

scratch the same itch. I don't feel like I'm having the impact. I want to

Speaker:

have full permission to change with me. It's

Speaker:

hard. There's a lot of work, there's a lot of links I'm gonna have to

Speaker:

be updating. There's a lot of branding that I'm gonna have to do.

Speaker:

Like, I'm really happy I have a team that can help me with this, and

Speaker:

maybe you don't have that yet, but let me tell you, it's easier to make

Speaker:

these changes when you're in a group of people who are also making the change,

Speaker:

even if you don't know who they are, even if you're just aware tangentially that

Speaker:

they're doing it, too. I'm now, like, just imagining, like, my LinkedIn feed

Speaker:

and my Instagram feed is all these people like changing their niche and changing their

Speaker:

business over the coming. But you know what? Like,

Speaker:

that's amazing, because what that actually means

Speaker:

is that there are that many more people who are being true to themselves, who

Speaker:

are realizing, you know what? I've been offering this gift to the world, and you

Speaker:

know what? I'm tired. I'm done. I'm just not feeling it anymore. And

Speaker:

I want to shift now to offer this gift to the world. Let's go.

Speaker:

You know, in the last few months, I've been talking a fair bit about

Speaker:

the favorite self and the difference between the

Speaker:

favorite self and the ideal self, right? And if we talk about the ideal self,

Speaker:

your ideal self is unattainable. It's a vision of perfection that

Speaker:

we're never going to reach because perfect doesn't exist. Your

Speaker:

ideal self has already done all the ideal things in their

Speaker:

life that you like. There's no time machine that's going to make you go

Speaker:

back and do it. And also, even if you did have a time machine, you

Speaker:

have ADHD. It's not like you're going to be able to stick perfectly to a

Speaker:

plan. Unrealistic. If I took a time machine back

Speaker:

to being in high school, it's not like I'm gonna do all my homework perfectly.

Speaker:

It's not like I'm gonna be the best student ever. It's not like I'm gonna

Speaker:

get into Harvard and then be the perfect student there. No,

Speaker:

of course not. I'm still gonna be me. I'm still gonna be

Speaker:

slightly chaotic. Like off the wall, only

Speaker:

wants to pay to, only pays attention to stuff that she's interested in. Katie. And

Speaker:

you're gonna be the same you. Right. So ideal me, who has gone to

Speaker:

Harvard, who has a high paying job, who does this, this, and this, and blah,

Speaker:

blah, blah, and eats salads every day for lunch. Never going to be

Speaker:

her even if science fiction stuff became real. Right? So

Speaker:

me trying to channel her every day to do what I want to do, like,

Speaker:

it's just going to hold me to a standard that doesn't work for me already

Speaker:

versus my favorite self. My favorite self

Speaker:

is chaotic Af. You know what? So, like, in big

Speaker:

ways where she changes her business on a dime, and in small ways where sometimes

Speaker:

she says as f, and sometimes she says Af, and you'll never know when it's

Speaker:

coming. My favorite self doesn't apologize for making

Speaker:

decisions. She actually sees it as a major strength that she can make

Speaker:

decisions and change her mind. She sees it as a

Speaker:

superpower to constantly be checking in with what do

Speaker:

I want right now? And what do I want right now? And what do I

Speaker:

want right now? And go with it simply because

Speaker:

she wants it without needing to justify why it's needed.

Speaker:

As we're talking about you making a greater impact, and as we're talking about

Speaker:

resetting your mindset so that you actually believe that bigger things are possible

Speaker:

for you, we're always going to be checking in with

Speaker:

what does your favorite self have to say? What do they want?

Speaker:

Who are they excited for you to be and who are they excited for you

Speaker:

to show up as in the world. Because once we know that

Speaker:

we have your motivation, there's nothing that's gonna stop

Speaker:

you. Once you really understand what your deeper desire is.

Speaker:

Because once you understand what your deep desire is, the thing that you want more

Speaker:

than anything and why you want it, what makes it so appealing to

Speaker:

you, what's the impact you want to have with it? Once you know that

Speaker:

you can actually start making use of all the tips and the tricks that you're

Speaker:

already listening to, you know the things that they're like, oh yeah, well that makes

Speaker:

it sound so easy. I should just do that. Is just gonna be come.

Speaker:

Oh cool. This is how I go from where I am right now to what

Speaker:

I want. Awesome. Let's do it.

Speaker:

With this shift in the weenie cast, I'm drawing a line in the sand.

Speaker:

This podcast is no longer for those folks

Speaker:

are the maybe someday crowd. Maybe someday I'm

Speaker:

gonna start a business. Maybe someday I'm gonna change my

Speaker:

life. Maybe someday I'll go out and do this really cool

Speaker:

idea that I have that like meh, maybe someone else should do it because

Speaker:

I'm pretty busy right now. You guys are not welcome along for the ride.

Speaker:

This is the moment where I'm asking you to just fucking

Speaker:

do it already. To put the bull aside.

Speaker:

Whatever excuses you've had up until now that you're not doing it.

Speaker:

Time, money, energy. Get real with

Speaker:

yourself that you actually have the power here. If you don't have the

Speaker:

money to start a business, guess what? It costs nothing to go to

Speaker:

a neighborhood and go door to door and say, hey, I'm going to be power

Speaker:

washing some of your neighbor's stuff this weekend. I have some

Speaker:

availability on Saturday. Do you need anything power washed? Do you have any

Speaker:

concrete or a porch or maybe the siding of your house? You

Speaker:

know, I can come by, it's $200. And you get people to commit

Speaker:

and you set appointments and you say, cool, you know, I'll be by this

Speaker:

time to do this, renting a power washer from Lowe's

Speaker:

or Home Depot is $100 to $250 a day. Once you

Speaker:

have, you know, three or four people committed, you go to Home Depot,

Speaker:

you rent a power washer for the day you come back, you

Speaker:

do your work, you get paid five Saturdays, you have enough to get started with

Speaker:

a business. You actually have more than enough. And you also

Speaker:

kind of have a successful side hustle that you could also just continue

Speaker:

doing to make more money so that when you do want to leave your full

Speaker:

time job for your business, you already have some side

Speaker:

cash coming in. It's pretty cool. So if you get two clients,

Speaker:

you're making money.

Speaker:

If you don't have time, I call bull. Because if you don't

Speaker:

have time, that tells me that you're not asking for help. You're not

Speaker:

demanding that the people in your life step up and take things off of

Speaker:

your plate. Did you know that in hunter gatherer

Speaker:

societies, women, mothers,

Speaker:

grandmothers, do you know how much of their time is

Speaker:

used towards leisure activities and not child

Speaker:

rearing, not housekeeping, not feeding

Speaker:

the rest of the group? Do you know how much time they

Speaker:

have? 50 f percent.

Speaker:

50% of their time is used for

Speaker:

leisure because they ask for help, because it is built in.

Speaker:

If you do not have time to start changing your

Speaker:

life into what you want it to be, it's because you're going along

Speaker:

with the bull society we've been handed, where you have to do it all on

Speaker:

your own because you've bought into this myth that you should be

Speaker:

independent and fully self sufficient.

Speaker:

No, no, no, no. We're not going along

Speaker:

with that anymore. You get to ask for help. You get to create community

Speaker:

around you. And I'm sorry, but if the people in your life are not

Speaker:

willing to create this,

Speaker:

this all around beneficial community where everyone helps each other and

Speaker:

has their back, they don't belong in your life. Adios.

Speaker:

Bye bye, Felicia. And if you don't have the energy, and I

Speaker:

understand this, I've worked in so many jobs that were soul sucking.

Speaker:

I worked in so many jobs for so many bosses where at the end of

Speaker:

the day, I felt like I just had dregs of myself left

Speaker:

and I had nothing to offer anyone. And I know the job

Speaker:

market right now sucks. I know, I know, I know.

Speaker:

I get all the reasons, but there's always choice. When

Speaker:

I was in that position, I was not interviewing for other

Speaker:

jobs. I was choosing to stay in the

Speaker:

job that paid enough for me to survive but didn't give

Speaker:

me the ability to have a life where I was thriving. And I

Speaker:

know it's hard. I'm not saying this like it's a simple or easy thing to

Speaker:

do, but if you don't have the energy at the end of your

Speaker:

workday to put towards setting things in motion

Speaker:

that'll take you to the life that you actually want, you have a really difficult

Speaker:

decision to make.

Speaker:

If you're committed to any of those reasons being the obstacle

Speaker:

that just makes it impossible for you to do this thing, then you're no longer

Speaker:

welcome here. This is not going to be the podcast for you.

Speaker:

I love you, and I want the best for you. And this podcast will always

Speaker:

be here for you. When you choose to believe that what

Speaker:

you want is possible for you and when you start acting like it's possible

Speaker:

for you. But until then, I don't know how much this podcast is

Speaker:

going to help you. We're not doing vision board sh t anymore.

Speaker:

This is a community where your feet are going to be held to the fire

Speaker:

so that you can do the thing that you already want to do, so that

Speaker:

you can have the impact that you know you can have on the world.

Speaker:

And so, yes, you can do it while you're ahead. Still scared less. We

Speaker:

were considering calling it something like the Weenie cast 2.0, but it's

Speaker:

not. It's still the Weenie cast. It's still the Weenie cast where you get

Speaker:

to be afraid and still take action. But we're taking bigger action

Speaker:

now. We're going for bigger dreams. We're going

Speaker:

after the vision that we all have for a better

Speaker:

world. And I have this deep belief, and I've had this for a really long

Speaker:

time, that we don't all have to care about everything.

Speaker:

We don't have to fix every single problem there is in the world.

Speaker:

If each and every one of us picked one problem,

Speaker:

picked one area where we get to fix even the

Speaker:

smallest of issues, like people getting birthday

Speaker:

calls, I am convinced we would have a much better

Speaker:

world. So I hope with this shift, with this

Speaker:

upgrade, you'll continue this journey with us. And I

Speaker:

hope that with this upgrade and shift, you're

Speaker:

gonna be upgrading and you're gonna be shifting some shit in your life, and I

Speaker:

cannot wait to hear about it. So let's

Speaker:

all just stop being a weenie and go for it.

Speaker:

What if I. What if I choose something that, you know, I like,

Speaker:

is successful and I like doing for a while, but then all of

Speaker:

a sudden, it loses for me? Like the goose gets

Speaker:

juiced and then there's nothing left. I love that term, by the way. I have

Speaker:

one canadian person who joins my Friday calls sometimes, and she

Speaker:

is always talking about juicing your goose. And I'm all about it. And

Speaker:

I always love an excuse to use that term. I don't know if that's a

Speaker:

canadian thing or just a her thing, you know, could be, I don't know,

Speaker:

TBD, Canadians. Can you tell me, is that a canadian thing or is that just

Speaker:

a random person who comes to my calls thing? Please tell me in the comments.

Speaker:

Thank you very much. Squirrel, squirrel,

Speaker:

squirrel, squirrel.
