"Accountable, it's like, okay, I'm going to actually keep track and before I actually leave for this thing, I am going to say, I am going to do X number of procedures in the next quarter. And I'm not just going to hold myself personally accountable for that. I'm actually going to hold the instructors accountable for that and share that with them. So they can share in the accountability and the pressure that they need to put on me to make sure that I get this done. They're going to share that accountability with their boss. If it was there, practice owner that actually sent them to the course, or if they were the owner of the practice themselves, you know, we're really big about accountability groups inside DSN get a handful of your buddies that are actually attending the course with you or not to hold you accountable, just like when you're running that marathon, whether or not you're running it with a friend, you could tell a handful of people like, hey man, you got to give me some shit if I'm not running 12 miles in a pop in the next four weeks. So that accountability loop is big. And I think we overlook that a lot of times. We just go and we say, hey man, of course I'm going to do this procedure because I've spent all this money I've made all these sacrifices, but a lot of times it just doesn't happen because we're not bringing other people into this accountability. I think you hit the nail on the head when it comes to the accountability. I think when we talk about DSI, the dental success institute and the training and the business coaching, I mean, that's how we leave every coaching call is like, hey, here's your accountability and action items for your next two weeks. And then you do a follow-up call with the next coach. And it's like, it seemed so logical. Well, why don't we have accountability within the clinical CE that we do? And so that's why I like that Colorado surgical institute is born out of panel success institute. It's because now we're taking the accountability component, applying it to the clinical world. And that's, I think, while some of our attendees are seeing these really good results is because they're coaching clients and we keep them accountable from a clinical perspective as well. But yeah, it seems so simple, but you need a coach to drive you in the right direction and stay with you after the course because if you meet someone for three days and then you do a course and then you never see them again, it's hard to stay motivated if you're not kind of in touch with a bunch of people who are at the course. For sure. Hey, Dan, I'm going to go back to you. And I'm going to circle back around to this clinical thing. First of all, I want to say that it's refreshing and very cool to be able to say, hey, the guy,

"Huge $1 billion broad line distributors. I've also been an executive chef of Wolfgang Puck. I'm an author. I have three books on the market. Your restaurant sucks your restaurant still sucks and your restaurant culture sucks is just coming out on audio too. So all my books will be available in either you can get them into book format. If you want to paper back, you want Kindle, you want a hard cover, or if you want the audiobook format, they're all available. Remember learners are earners and we'll talk about that a little bit more too. I'm also a former member of the U.S. Air Force pair rescue teams. I think I learned everything I know about teamwork from being a member of the U.S. Air Force prayer rescue. One of the things I will mention about teamwork is that we have a big misconception about teamwork. That misconception is this. We think that a team is people that like each other. Hashtag right this shit down. A team doesn't have to like each other. You have to respect each other and you have to trust each other. There was guys in my prayer rescue team. I honestly, I thought they were the biggest assholes in the world. I would not hang out with them when we weren't doing some training and stuff like that, but I tell you when the shit hit the fan, I trusted him to do their job, and I respected them. So we have some things that we have to work for. Remember, I said, at the beginning, it's not rocket science. It's people science. One of the things that we always talk about on every one of my goals, my clients will confirm this. Every coaching call, I always talk about the three P framework. Every problem you have in your restaurant, the whole key. This was introduced to me back in the 90s when I had my first restaurant and honestly, if I had not been introduced to this framework, I would have closed my doors because it was a life-changing, not a game changer, a life changer. I was struggling. I had been in the restaurant business for 15 years. I thought I knew it all, just like a lot of people running a restaurant, and that's that complicated. Well, running a restaurant itself is not that complicated. Building a brand, that is complicated, building a profitable brand. That takes a little bit of extra effort. I was introduced to a business owner. I was about to shut the doors and a guy who was a regular of my restaurant, regular guest, sat me down one night, and he offered to help me offer to be at my business coach for a year. If I would just basically listen to what he said and apply to information, I took it to heart because I really was in a place of desperation. And he introduced me to this thing called the three P framework, and it's all people product process. Now, if you want to get a good start on a solid foundation to building a restaurant in the life that you want, I have put together. It is over three hours of free training that you can get. It talks about the three basic frameworks all my clients have to understand before we even get started. They all start with this series called the three frames of thrive series, and it has three different components. First is the restaurant's success pyramid. Then we dig into the three P framework, and then we go into what's known as the culture wheel. My third book, your restaurant culture sucks is all about culture. And there's a reason for it. The audiobook itself, I'm telling you, it's crazy.

"Building your business and your plans based on what you want your profit to be. And you don't know what your profit needs to be until you've actually figured out what those four buckets are supposed to be. Yeah, so the point is to stop guessing at your numbers. That was maybe okay for a long run for some of you because the money was coming and going at such a velocity. But there's another version of this that I'm doing on a lot of our one on one are elite coaching calls with some really high end agents that have been in business for a long time. They had a really big goal this year. A lot of that was based on the trajectory from previous years. That's fair. Make sure, right? And now they're looking things have slowed down a little bit, listings are taking longer to sell or not throwing offers at everything. So now what's happening is they're saying, you know what? I got two months to hit that goal. And I feel like I'm off. And so now the difference for them is, and this is where having whiteboards and visual accountability really helps because they can do it all at a glance. They can say, all right, I'm off by this amount, but how much are you really off by? Let's look at your active listings. Well, my actives, I got 5 actives, but they're just kind of sitting there. So now that agent, who had counted on that in previous markets, now has to take that listing inventory more seriously, has to do new CMAs has two price reductions, has to open houses like gen Gennaro did, right? Has to be more proactive. They have to get into that tool chest and pull out tools that they hadn't used for a while for some of you that is the open house. Or many other tools, you mentioned sellers offer to the buyer, all these things that happen around for skills, right? And so then they can say, all right, well, maybe I'm not off as far as I think, assuming I actually get these listings sold. So what's that worth? And which of them are real listings in which of them are maybe long shots, then they're going to look at their leads board. How many of you are sitting there? I do this on every coaching call with leads that are only not in contract or not listed simply because you haven't closed it on an appointment because you're waiting for them to come after you. Or how many of you are working with buyers who you think are going to buy, who no longer qualify. Like the buyer that qualified for $300,000 as the beginning of this year when rates were basically three and a half percent, they're only going to qualify for 200,000 now, and they probably don't like what 200,000 gifts them. Or you might not even have 200,000 in your market. Because the $300,000 house at the beginning of this year is now probably three 30 or three 50 because of inflation.

Is Podcasting Good for Promoting a Course?
"Podcasting. Good for promoting course now. I did a full episode on this And there's also i believe there's an accompanying accompanying blog posts. But yes i think that creating podcasts. Podcast your course i. I'm not gonna go so far as to say it's essential. But i think it is one of the best marketing and promotion tools that you can have for promoting your course and here's why people need to know like entrust you when they're buying a course from you. I learned this the hard way i thought. I'll just put out a course that people wanna learn about and they'll buy it right very field of dreams approach if i build it. They will come. I have a big audience in the wordpress base. My first course was how to build a blog and that was a failure for several reasons. First of all it was fully text based course when especially something like that lends itself to screen casts right. I'm where i'm talking about how to build a blog wordpress. There should be a video tutorials for step by step instructions how to do something not just texting screen shots second of all. There's too much free content on exactly how to do that but third of all people didn't know me for starting a blog. People knew me as a wordpress developer and so when people saw this offering they thought sure joe has a blog. But what is joe know about starting and growing and more importantly monetize ing a blog. I see no proof that he really knows how to do that. So people didn't. They knew me. They liked me but they didn't trust me in this subject matter area. So if you start a podcast to promote your course and we talked about this last week. Right with alister. Mcdermott on our live coaching. Call if you start a podcast to promote your course you can establish that trust with your target

BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, Houston Considered Top Candidates for Big 12 Expansion
"A report out this afternoon at Ucf could be headed to the big twelve. I know you're there to do the game. Let that potentially could really have a lot of the effects especially with texas and oklahoma. What what do you make out of that report. That has ucf byu let me. I'm trying to remember. Who else is in that. Cincinnati and houston in that. Yeah lucky me. You just rattled off one powerful independent byu a couple of group of five schools cincinnati. A lot of people think for a playoff spot this year because the schedule and then. Ucs tonight pot. You know gus malzahn. Well i spoke with him yesterday. As part of our coaches call. And it's no secret. Malzahn took this job because he was one a good fit for him but to hey knows that. Ucf is on the verge getting out of that group of five corridor and getting into power. Five football dan stand that the the winds are change. You're going to happen every year. We talked playoff expansion to twelve teams which would benefit. Ucf gus malzahn cincinnati. Luke fickle until. I'm not surprised in the least bit that. Ucf is coveted spot wide. Because it's the state of florida smack down to the central their orlando. There's a lot of talent this team who's is gonna feel tonight has a ton of talent. And so look it's it makes sense if you're in the big twelve and you just lost taxes and you just lost oklahoma. We're going to sit here and say that you're going to replace those brands with cincinnati. Ucf byu in houston but you do get a couple of teams that together can stop that bleeding just enough to still compete and steal it. Pretty competitive conference

Why Speakers Should Start a Podcast
"To lately on these episodes these targeted episodes me to establish trust of some kind and yes. That's true in general if you're a business owner but i think it's even more important if you are a will say a knowledge worker If you are selling knowledge or selling a process if you're teaching people how to do something which is what course creators do which is what authors do which is what speakers do and so i truly believe that a podcast kissed is is instrumental in helping you establish trust with people who will potentially be in your audience but also with people who will potentially higher you first speaking gigs. And speaking of that a podcast helps you. Create your own portfolio one. You could send to potential events where you might want to be the the keynote speaker or just a speaker you could say hey. Don't take my word for it. this is. i'm i have a podcasts. Were i talk into a microphone regularly. i've got the skills. Here's my style. If you like it hire me. And plus this portfolio that gets created doesn't rely on other events providing the video or audio for your talk right because that's another thing. Maybe you're on the speaker circuit all the time but maybe the events don't make their recordings publicly available so now you need to figure out another way to show people what you really know what your process is and if you're actually a good public speaker so you establish trust by creating this portfolio of you talking about whatever it is you talk about right so if you're a business coach talk about things that you've coached people through heck. Maybe even make some of your coaching calls public with the permission of the person you're coaching. Of

"That's so disingenuous guys wednesday. I'm going to tell you a story about this week. Wednesday i had. It was like the busiest. It was like the busiest had my entire life and one of the commitments. That i made this week was that i was going to show up in full power for every coaching call. Which meant that. This livestream that i have the check ins that have after every single coaching. Call that. I showed up. My goal is to show up in full power and so on wednesday. I had six back to back to back to back to back. Calls and each of them were about an hour to an hour and a half long but i made the commitment to show up every single day in full power to every single call and it was the hardest thing i've ever done. Because like those guys that go live consistently no like when you go live. Just drains your energy like especially if you go live a lot in a day like it's exhausting but i'm so fucking disciplined that i showed up to every single coaching call single live in full power with this much energy for six hours straight. And that's what the fuck it takes. Because i'm going to be honest with you guys. The week voice inside of me wanted to cancel and wanted to like be like man over committed myself. Maybe i should just take a break. Maybe i should cancel some of these calls. So i can show up some of them in full power. But then there's this little fucking voice inside of me that's like yo be mark's show up like you said you were going to show up. You said you were going to do something and you need to start listening to that voice if you wanna be successful at guys if you wanna be a high performer. I'm gonna give you a secret to being a high performer ready. You need to know what your own bullshit. Straight up tune it out. I want you guys to imagine all of your excuses and reasons for why you're not where you wanna be as a frequency that you're tuned into right now. It's like a frequency right. It's like a frequency of like on too busy with school right now. I can't work on my business. Or i'm not good at tiktok. That's why i'm not getting on there. Because i don't know how to edit videos or closes in new app for me and i'm so confused and i'm outside of my comfort zone or i'm not video that's why i'm not getting a live streamer. I'm not good at social media. That's why i'm not post. I want you to imagine your bullshit excuses as this frequency that you're tuning into and your accepting as a reality right now right now magical these excuses as a frequency or tune into now understand that the real truth. I want you guys to write this down. If you're taking notes the real truth is always buried beneath bullshit. The real truth is always buried beneath the bullshit and the real truth on finnish coach. You fucking note. You know like we know when we're not performing at the level that we want to. We know you know if you're not being consistent on social media you know if you're not being consistent on tiktok you know if you're not getting on clubhouse you know if you're not posting on infamous coaches you know you also know when you're being lazy with your finished ernie like you know you're fucking sleeping in you know you're making excuses and the like you're tuned into the bullshit frequency in your accepting it as a reality but you need to start listening to that little voice inside of you the truce that little fucking voices inside man.

Carson Wentz would prefer to leave Philadelphia Eagles, but team is not looking to trade him, per report
"This is the saga that we've been covering forever right carson. Wentz coming off terrible year. You know that he got benched. You'll see all the numbers and it was just awful but when they made the choice to fire the coach and bring in frank. Reich's assistant nick serianni. We figured well at the end of that is coming back in philly. Adam schefter yesterday said maybe not so fast wants. Leave the franchise. That's why the trade still employ. This is a real and this was made up and just because he would like to be moved doesn't mean he will be if i had to guess i would guess he is traded. That'd be my guess. Okay at some point this off season but again. they're not just going to train them just. They're not looking to get rid of him. They're not shefty. I shefty speech. The world listens and dan. Orlovsky we've not had you on this yet today. What is your reaction to this idea that it seems at least from the outside like the eagles have probably done just about everything he might have wanted and he still wants out agree with them. Schefter i think carson wentz wants away from philadelphia for a long time. People thought well he wants away. From doug peterson i think he wants to wait from the city. I think he wants away. From the organization. Greenie do speak so loudly. I need not hear what you say. And we live in a time frame and society where it's the easiest time ever to make some form of statement and carson had two opportunities to do that his first head coach in the. Nfl was fired. He had the opportunity to post something on twitter. Post something on instagram. Saying you're my. I said coach ever in the nfl while it didn't work out the way we wanted to for the long run. I'm forever thankful for our time together. Well then we move on and they hire a head coach. Nick serianni another opportunity to make some form of statement some form of. I'm looking forward to the future. New new beginnings fresh start excited to work with you and nothing for those two reasons. I'm sitting back and going carson. Wentz doesn't want to be in philadelphia. Maybe it wasn't as tight to doug peterson and it is tied to the organization and what has transpired over the past couple of weeks past couple of months. I can tell you this. I had a coach call me last week and spend twenty minutes on the phone with me asking about what my thoughts were with carson. Wentz the good and the bad why. It went south this past season because they've got a high level of interest in them and i think two teams. That should be calling our indy in chicago. Both of them have a win. Now defenses and both of them have some form of a tie in the past with carson wentz being frank reich and indian john d. filipo in chicago so i agree with this Shefty i think it's more likely. He gets traded than not.

Im a travel blogger. How do I pivot my business during COVID?
"The travel industry has taken a major hit because of covid nineteen and today's listener. Today's qna wednesday question from jim is spot on. How do you pivot. How do you change how to make something happen. When you took such a blow. I recognize the truth of the matter. The truth of the matter is because of covid. people can't travel or at least depending on the country. You're on the can't travel easily or safely. This is a suction we all say to ourselves. But it's partly true. Can't travel maybe internationally but people can do some traveling like a road trip even if you're in a country like australia where they really are super super strict when it comes to the covert restrictions where the close the borders between states like. You can't leave the for example. New south wales which is a stash rilya when there are a few cases pop up. You know the borders get close but you can travel within new south wales. So let's just define the problem. You can't travel internationally. travel blogger. the world's your choice ter- and there's so much material out there but this is an opportunity for you to create a different stream of income a different Chapter in your business career. Local travel road trips exploring. What's in your backyard. And of course you could start with your own local area but just because you can't go somewhere. Let's say for example. You can't go to australia and Help people in their local area to do some local travel you can curate some content curate. Some ideas from other videos other blogs and serve your audience for example in new south wales in australia. You can go to beaches. You can go to the blue mountains. You can go skiing. In the winter. In kosciusko mountain you can go to byron bay which is scored like a yoga hippie. Beachie vibe you can go. There's so many options within the state and people are hungry for break right so this is another option. Just kind of pivoting your business. Creating maybe books guys videos courses live. Coaching calls summits events where you help people or guide them to travel. Locally is easy for us to focus on problems and not think about. What can i do rather than i can't do. So yes you can't travel internationally but you can locally or you can help people travel locally another thing that comes to mind when it comes to travel blogging. It's like hey. I usually do. Exotic locations like how to go to vietnam for two weeks under three thousand dollars or backpacking around europe. And these are not really options anymore for your target audience. Yes they can't travel now but any of these trips will require planning and planning can be done anywhere. For example nicole took eight weeks and did a bit of traveling in europe and that trip took about nine months. The plan we did with some friends of ours. Jason and carolina zuck with a lot of fun. But there's a lot of coordination especially you want to many countries the different modes of transport. Those flying this train. There's renting cars there's accommodations their sites. They wanna see in each city. There's downtime there's beaches there You wanna shop so it takes time to plan a trip like that and for most people. They're not going to go on a trip. Like i gotta go to europe every day or go to vietnam every day or go to costa rica so they want to make the most and planning is a part of that and in my opinion planning is a big part of the fun of going on a big epic journey. A big trip is a travel blogger. You can really hone in on the planning part the preparation part of actual travel. And that's from the bag of tricks. Of rick steves He really focuses on the planning. You can do the same and you can even do A little bit of a niche thing like budget or luxury and you can even just down a little bit and either do luxury travel or budget travel or to travel in a big group that type of thing and this is actually a good time to do it because you know people are starting to see. Hey maybe we are on the other side of cova. The vaccine is how maybe in six seven nine months. It's possible to travel somewhere. Maybe in a year and that's just enough time to get the planning going to have everything sorted out so when you can't travel it's all planned out. You're all set. You're all excited. You're all packed and you're ready to go so planning is a big part of that so maybe spend some time focusing on that on your block. What to pack Luggage what to buy beforehand. What about travel insurance. These are all ways for you to really have revenue streams where you can do amazon associates and get commissioned when you recommend certain products items. I always say when it's downtime in your business for example in the software world and the bbc world december january notorious for being slow. So when it's slow when you're having a downtime it's a great time for you invest in content. So if right now things are a little slow in your travel blog. This a chance for you to really invest the time in building a youtube channel in writing a book on your travels and why you should travel or where you should travel to travel guides because it's going to take some time for you to create this content publish it put on the world market and by time it's all set and done people will start thinking about traveling again and it's an asset that you can use forever. It's not like you write a book and you only can sell it tomorrow. You could sell it for years to come. and of course it's trout guide. You can use as a basis to sir. Updating it year after year the other day our team at women ninja were running. Some webinars get. We like to use their own software and one of our team members. Cj she sharing some photos from our last Team retreat in bali and we were reminiscent with these photos. And who's just reminding is a how much of a great time we had on that trip. I thought to myself how many people take all these photos when the epic trips and they never look at them they never reminisce. They never really looked at it. And say wow what a great time. Those are ray positive feelings and more people should do that to remember the good times. remember the travels. So that's something you can lead that something that you can create for your community a weekly webinar where somebody can share their last trip. Share the photos share what they learn. Share their favorite memories. Everybody in the webinar can experience that plays virtually and get really excited about when they're going to go and see that place and of course if they're doing the sharing gives them a chance to rekindle their love for travel.

Local travel road trips exploring. What's in your backyard. And of course you could start with your own local area but just because you can't go somewhere. Let's say for example. You can't go to australia and Help people in their local area to do some local travel you can curate some content curate. Some ideas from other videos other blogs and serve your audience for example in new south wales in australia. You can go to beaches. You can go to the blue mountains. You can go skiing. In the winter. In kosciusko mountain you can go to byron bay which is scored like a yoga hippie. Beachie vibe you can go. There's so many options within the state and people are hungry for break right so this is another option. Just kind of pivoting your business. Creating maybe books guys videos courses live. Coaching calls summits events where you help people or guide them to travel. Locally is easy for us to focus on problems and not think about. What can i do rather than i can't do. So yes you can't travel internationally but you can locally or you can help people travel locally another thing that comes to mind when it comes to travel blogging. It's like hey. I usually do. Exotic locations like how to go to vietnam for two weeks under three thousand dollars or backpacking around europe. And these are not really options anymore for your target audience. Yes they can't travel now but any of these trips will require planning and planning can be done anywhere. For example nicole took eight weeks and did a bit of traveling in europe and that trip took about nine months. The plan we did with some friends of ours. Jason and carolina zuck with a lot of fun. But there's a lot of coordination especially you want to many countries the different modes of transport. Those flying this train. There's renting cars there's accommodations their sites. They wanna see in each city. There's downtime there's beaches there You wanna shop so it takes time to plan a trip like that and for most people. They're not going to go on a trip. Like i gotta go to europe every day or go to vietnam every day or go to costa rica so they want to make the most and planning is a part of that and in my opinion planning is a big part of the fun of going on a big epic journey. A big trip is a travel blogger. You can really hone in on the planning part the preparation part of actual travel. And that's from the bag of tricks. Of rick steves He really focuses on the planning. You can do the same and you can even do A little bit of a niche thing like budget or luxury and you can even just down a little bit and either do luxury travel or budget travel or to travel in a big group that type of thing and this is actually a good time to do it because you know people are starting to see. Hey maybe we are on the other side of cova. The vaccine is how maybe in six seven nine months. It's possible to travel somewhere. Maybe in a year and that's just enough time to get the planning going to have everything sorted out so when you can't travel it's all planned out. You're all set. You're all excited. You're all packed and you're ready to go so planning is a big part of that so maybe spend some time focusing on that on your block. What to pack Luggage what to buy beforehand. What about travel insurance. These are all ways for you to really have revenue streams where you can do amazon associates and get commissioned when you recommend certain products items. I always say when it's downtime in your business for example in the software world and the bbc world december january notorious for being slow. So when it's slow when you're having a downtime it's a great time for you invest in content. So if right now things are a little slow in your travel blog. This a chance for you to really invest the time in building a youtube channel in writing a book on your travels and why you should travel or where you should travel to travel guides because it's going to take some time for you to create this content publish it put on the world market and by time it's all set and done people will start thinking about traveling again and it's an asset that you can use forever. It's not like you write a book and you only can sell it tomorrow. You could sell it for years to come. and of course it's trout guide. You can use as a basis to sir. Updating it year after year the other day our team at women ninja were running. Some webinars get. We like to use their own software and one of our team members. Cj she sharing some photos from our last Team retreat in bali and we were reminiscent with these photos. And who's just reminding is a how much of a great time we had on that trip. I thought to myself how many people take all these photos when the epic trips and they never look at them they never reminisce. They never really looked at it. And say wow what a great time. Those are ray positive feelings and more people should do that to remember the good times. remember the travels. So that's something you can lead that something that you can create for your community a weekly webinar where somebody can share their last trip. Share the photos share what they learn. Share their favorite memories. Everybody in the webinar can experience that plays virtually and get really excited about when they're going to go and see that place and of course if they're doing the sharing gives them a chance to rekindle their love for travel.

Easiest Way To Thrive in 2021
"Every monday. No matter what. The part of the year in i always ask a simple question more important probably than ever before. Have you done your homework. did you sit down. Did you pay attention to to the things that are going on in your life. Basically this you like what you have and do you want to keep it. Would you like something else to come into your life and you need to make a change if you take just a few minutes to ask yourself those questions. Write them down and focus on them a bit. You'd be amazed how your subconscious mind just kinda guide. You suddenly just start taking actions that do that. They make sure that you really hang onto things you like in your life and the other stuff just goes away but you gotta do your homework number. I still have that perfectly planner at motivation. Move dot com. If you haven't gotten your hands on it's very simple way of thinking easily. Take control of your time. And that helps you to really it's actually modeled after the homework that we do here. It a help. You control the elements in the roles of your life so you get what you want so get over there. Grab that it's free. Motivation dot com. Watch the video to that. Goes along with it so you know exactly how to use it. What is the easiest. Way to thrive in twenty twenty one. I was thinking about this. I was kind of digging it a little bit. 'cause i'm doing that myself. This we take some time off and doing some thinking and deciding what i wanna do next year and where i want to go and how far one of reach and how big i want to go get to in terms of my my goals and what do i wanna do. And the word thrive came up. 'cause i decided i was going to make a lot of quick decisions a lot of good decisions. I wasn't going to labor on decisions this year. But what i want to do. While i wanted to thrive and i want you to thrive as well in two thousand twenty one. That's so we're going do so. It is time to crank up those goals for the year. The new year's almost upon us. And i wanna i wanna make sure we do the easy way the simple way well. I'm not talking new year's resolutions. I'm not a resolution. Kind of guy. I really am not. They don't typically work anyway. I don't get excited by resolutions. I get excited by a continuous progression continuously. Growing in the direction that i want to go. So let's talk about it today. One of the easiest methods that you can get for achieving the success you want a. You're ready for it. I know you want something different. I knew and maybe you'll find a different way to do it. Maybe maybe that'll happen for you. But i'm telling you if you have any experience on your belt whatsoever sticking to the tried and true is really the way to do something that again. That doesn't mean you can't move forward with something. Maybe that means a lot in your heart or something you want to try this brand new but but it does mean that you need to kind of look at new skill sets a new knowledge and say Do i really need it or can. I take already having already understand and leverage that. Let me tell you. I get a lot of folks who come here. I work with probably ten or twelve folks personally every single week and and hold up much more in grew coaching calls. And it's really common for people particularly this time of year to show up just want to do something different. I just want to start over. Just toss out start over. I don't want to know anything. I just want to start brand new. And no you don't no you don't because you have so much wisdom and so much experience you have earned that over the years and especially this past year you learned a bunch. So if you want to thrive in twenty twenty one and you want to get there fast the easiest way to get there the quickest way to get there the the lease stress way to get there is to lean on what you already know and leverage that into something brand new so it assumes a couple of things ready number one it assumes that you already have experience and wisdom and you do you do now if you have a couple of holes in their if you say hey scott. I've done this my whole life. I'm maybe you've been in business or a teacher or something like that. Maybe a corporate job and now you're moving something else. I want to do something different. That really captures my imagination. I don't have that skill set. That's okay you probably have ninety five percent of the skill you need. You just have to pick up a couple of small things so be very very picky about what you're learning. I want you do not spend your time learning. Spend your time doing the more time you spend your time learning the long. It's going to take you to get what you want so shake your wisdom. Take your experience that i know you have inside of you and use that. Don't give it up. that's your smarts. Need that number two. What you choose the path of least resistance. This is not being goofing around is not mean cheating. It's also does not mean take in the hard way allow folks. I work with scott. I want to maybe build. Some online income have have an online business a lot of ways to do that these days and they get caught up in the tech the tools. All that crazy. You'll have to do that. You just really don't have to. But once they go down that road they never get back. I'm telling you can be years. That folks get caught up in that were or a world. So what i want you to do is take that knowledge and wisdom and if you choose and you decide and you believe that you have to get a small skill set to be able to leverage which you already know. Go ahead and do that but then choose the path of least resistance. This is hard for people to do. The goal is to get the results you want. In the fastest period of time no distractions knows zigzagging. So how does your brain react. If i if i ask you to sit down and say what is the fastest way to get what i want. My guess is you start getting all broad all crazy zigzagging the and you start finding distractions so force yourself to find that direct path truly the fewest number steps. The easiest way to get from here to there. If you don't know exactly what that is take a few steps you can now it to you. Learn how to get there quickly and easily otherwise it just takes too long number three overthinking burns way too many calories. I cannot tell you how much time i spend with folks on zoom calls listening to them over think they could save a lot of money and a lot of time. If they just wouldn't do it it just crazy really if you get if you pinpoint exactly what you want and you pinpoint the skill set you have and you pinpoint that little thing. You might have to learn to get there and you pinpoint the path of least resistance. There is no more calorie burning.
The Email Marketing Show
Why Is My Email Marketing Not Working?
"Let's dive into this and let's talk about why your email marketing isn't working if you're listening to this and you just feel a bit disheartened by the you know you send an email and maybe it's it's like to me just feel like nobody cares. Nobody loves you. nobody's listening. Nobody's buying anything. That's the worst bit and you just feel like it's just not working. That's what we want to talk about here today. I think the first thing we need to do is talk about what is not working. What does that mean. 'cause i think if there's a bunch of different people listening to this with different who all think in their email marketing is not working that might be triggered by different things. Maybe somebody sending emails literally. Nobody's opening them. Maybe somebody else's sending emails and lose people opening them but they're not getting any sales so i suppose let's dig into some of the possible options here are about what people might think of as not working. Yeah i mean. This isn't that we talk to league members about. Isn't it like every month whom you've got. We have to group. Coaching calls a month and pretty much every session. Somebody comes across and says they spit not working. And so we say okay. That's nice what do you mean by not working. And i think the first thing we've got to remember is a lot of us look at open rates as a signal as to whether your email marketing is not working. How do people are opening our emails. The problem with that is it's not that useful a metric. it's well it's not totally unuseful. We have talked about in previous episodes. The reason that we obsessed with an open rates is because it's the big number that the amar in platform shows us because they have that data to some degree. So i think open rates is probably not a good indicator that it's not working. The the point is interesting is if they suddenly started plummeting so if your open rate is x. percent and let's say it's twenty percent and then suddenly it goes to eighteen. Then it's fifteen than it's just saying this declining open rate then. That's a trend. Definitely take up. What are they going. Remember is this question which we get in the free facebook group that you will mark community and all over. The place is what's a good open rate. We probably see that a couple of times a month over in the group right under the answer is always the same. The reasonable like no. It's not a nice answer right. It's not what anybody wants to hear. But we gotta remember the business and email marketing. That goes with. It is a one player game. That's a really important thing to think about email. I'm business all of that. It is a one player game. You are your numbers. Is your revenue up. Is your prophet up. Is your open rate up on what your numbers doing in your business and the only aim of your game that your plan right now is to increase your numbers. Whatever you're starting out you might be at a sixty percent open rate that we talked about with guests in the past who've had that all u continuing to maintain that and sometimes you're going to see declines because of those we'll get into in a second so let's forget about open rates as an indicate a directly of whether it's work or not fact. We have a different number that we like to actually consider think. Yeah just before we talk about that. Think the other thing that's interesting about open. Rates is the most people are expecting too much from their email straightaway. So like we've had people come onto our into our hotline coaching calls in the league. Or just you know. Talk to us events. And they've said things like i've got only sixty percent of my people opened my emails. And what they mean by that. Is there's a whopping forty percent of people that's four hundred out of every thousand the not opening my emails and they feel like that's a catastrophe and actually that's in most industries would be considered an almighty big open. So i think again. Don't expect too much from your email if you are just getting started and you're really looking at this and you're kind if you think you number is low because you you know what are the people's must be by you know surely it's going to be higher than that. So that's the first thing is doing this heart until you've at least investigates find okay. Great book what other other people in my marketplace. What what should. I be washed. I'll be aiming for is like benchmark right. I in one player game. You want to do that. You're not aiming for eighty percent when everyone else in your industry is only getting twenty percent. That's an unrealistic place to start. You want to at least be aiming for about the same saw a number but the as can he said the metric we really look for is nothing really to do with open rates or click through rates or any of that stuff. It's actually to do with how much money you're gonna make per subscriber per month because at the end of the day. You can't pay your bills. You can't pay your staff you can't pay for all that software the ears you compared to listening to this podcast quits. Right you can't pay all of the stuff that you see with with open rates. Click through rates. Instead you want to actually making sales so there's this old adage and i don't know where it's coming from but i think it's a myth this ancient thing that's been going around saying you should be able to earn an. I heard again this morning. One dollar per subscriber month in your business so if you've got one on subscriber you should make doll. I've got a hundred subscribers. You make one hundred dollars thousand subscribers. You should make thousand dollars now. I know that a lot of businesses are struggling to actually get anywhere close to that number so i think first of all. That number is a myth. However if you do it right you can make significantly more than one dollar per subscriber per month under that. The metric is higher than one dollars per subscriber per month. But what you really want to be focused on is that number which is a like a cocktail of things. it's a cocktail of urban rates and click through rates and conversion rates. And all of that stuff. Because of course they do factor into that equation. If nobody is opening your emails. You're not gonna make any money per month. So they do factor into it but it's it's way more complex than just open rates quickly rates because again it factors in the stuff you promoting the relationship you've got with your list. How often you make office. I mean one of the things to remember as well. I think people forget. This is about the sample size like how many people are on your list. That really affected. And it's like it's double edged sword as well so for example. If you've got a a massive list well as your list grows in general because of technology and because of all the constraints around tack basically your open rates and a lot of your deliverability percentage wise are gonna come gonna come down because you'll like working. These servers a lot harder which means all of the email providers. Esp's eugene males and your white males and hot meals and all that stuff are all going to get a bit more sensitive. You're sending a lot of email. We're going to have considerate less personal. So we're gonna give you slightly less deliverability that's kind of what happens so with a lodge list. It's actually very natural for as this grows for that deliverability for that open rape and for those numbers per subscriber to watch to actually reduce the other thing to remember is with a small list. So that's the good thing we a big list of calls you've got more people. And that's a lovely flip side of that smaller list. you can have probably higher open rates. Probably more earnings per subscriber most more sales and more value per subscribe. But the pop. The the negative is that you you. Have you have a smaller sample size. You have less data you literally have less people going through an off. I when you put it out there so if you've got fifty people on your list and let's see hundreds making make the math easy because that's not do kennedy math live on the show. So let's do a hundred people on your list and you put them you send them to an offer to a sales page off a page and one person buys it you might go to one percent conversion rate will you have. You've only put one central of hundred people. Compare that two thousand where you might get ten people by might get twenty people by. You're not giving enough of all over opportunity so you do constantly balance those two things and of course a big a big a list is probably not will take all over a smaller list in general but just be aware that but as it grows you might get those numbers deplete so think about the first part of this gas is to think about. What do you mean by. It's not working. Does it mean i'm not making sales. Because that is the ultimate macro metric. All you make in sound. What is your earnings per subscriber and is it going up or is it coming down. That's what you want know. Take a period of time january. How did we make some scribner and that simple math. Isn't it simply number two subscribers and it's the people are and how much earned that month from the from the subscribers right lovely stuff.

Quick Tip: How to Scale Your Facebook/IG Ads in 2021
"In this quick to episode. I want to share with you. How i look at scaling facebook and instagram mats. And there's some new things not really new things but different approaches that we found to be working really really well and what you will find out if you have been listening for a while or in any of my programs accelerator or ot or what have you. Then you know. A lot of the stuff is is the same rate but a lot of people don't want to do the work that when it comes to scaling now people just wanna pour more money into it. Add more budget which is a effective way to scale. However that's just one small piece of scaling your facebook instagram ads right. And so today. I wanna break down how i look at and i recommend that you look at scaling your facebook and instagram ads in two thousand twenty one. Twenty twenty one okay. I don't know why the two thousand twenty one twenty twenty one all right and the first thing that you have to understand when it comes to scaling. Your ads is this is about patients. This is about testing and experimenting and trying different things out. You've got to be patient. This is where the mindset part comes in and this is where knowing your numbers. Hopefully you know by. Now i'm a numbers guy. I'm not a techie guy. I'm a numbers guy. And it's all numbers right. I had a call this morning. I had a my monthly coaching call with With me with the ot members off to optimize members and one of the conversations. That came up. Was if you're not doing well if you've ever evergreen funnel going in. Sales are down week over week. Like what does that mean about. You means like am eight. Am i not get it. What i do know means nothing about you unless the meaning that you give it if you if you look those numbers and say oh. They're not very good. I don't know i'm doing. I'm not a smart marketer. I'm not a funnels person. I'm not. I should be give up. No we don't want to make that. We don't wanna make that give things like that the meaning a meaning. It just means that it gives you direction on what to look at it. Just numbers data the data is allowing you to dictate what moves you need to make in order to start making improvements or double down on what's working etc and so when you're scaling your ads. That's what this is about. That's what it's about testing. It's about being patient and experimenting and trying things and tracking the numbers. So you know what's working and what's not working okay. Now when you think about scaling you have to. The first thing you need to realize is well at what point should quote unquote. You start thinking about scaling. Okay so number. One the way i look at it. And what recommend for you after your ads have been running for at least three days or three days from when you made your last edit to your assets okay so at least three to five days then you can start looking at all right whether i should scale so this is where the optimization comes in. This is where you start making changes to your ads whether you are looking to improve. What's not working or you're looking to scale. What is working okay. So that's the that's the first thing is don't think about scaling any of your ads until they've been running for at least three to five days. That's number one. The second thing is if your lead cost is in line with your kpi your key performance indicator if you're lead goal cost is saying whatever six dollars and you're getting three dollar leads okay. We're onto something here now. Remember if you're tracking sales that's really what's most important your cost per sale but i realized that most people listening most are not quite at that point where you're tracking a sale but if you are though if your ads are at least two x profitable right so if you're spending one hundred dollars and then you're making two hundred dollars. Then you want to be definitely looking at scaling at the rest of your stats are really good. Like your conversion rate and the landing page cetera. Your link click through rate if your overall performance of your ads are doing well then you want us to think about scaling now. The initial sat that we're looking at. Is your lead cost. What's your cost per lead. Your cost results is the same thing when you're doing conversions as your objective. Ideally though you're looking at sales like what does it cost me to get a sale and then you're scaling from there okay and so if you are not sure of what your lead cost. Kpi should be meaning your goal your key performance indicator then i want you to think about reverse engineering your launch funnel and. I'm gonna do a whole different episode quick to episode about that exact topic. So if you've been launching a while you're gonna know roughly what cost per lead that you've been getting right and so did that cost per lead work for you during the launch. If it didn't okay what needs to change if it did awesome and especially if you've been launching a while you now have a benchmark on your lead cost because that's going to give you information towards and going to inform your earnings per lead so your earnings per lead is total revenue divided by the number of registrants that you had for your launch. So let's just say that your earnings police fifty dollars and your cost per lead for that launch was ten dollars. Well your cost per lead your to get somebody into your launch with ten dollars. Your earnings per each one of those leads was fifty dollars. That's a nice delta between those two right. If you've done three launches while you start to look at averages on your cost per lead and then earnings per lead and that starts to inform you wanna do to scale next time. Okay or if you've got you know if you're doing evergreen lead magnets or something like that. That's what you want to try to figure out what is your benchmark. What does it cost. You need to eventually get a sale. So that's what you want to start thinking about before you even start scaling okay. Is it even worth you scaling. Should you be scaling and thinking about those things. In order to make that determination

How To Get Comfortable Being on Camera
"Listen i get it. Being on camera can feel unnatural. We're self conscious about the way we look at what we sound. The we were coming off or how people are receiving us. We may even look at other people in our industry. That just seemed like naturals on camera. If so much charisma. They feel comfortable and confident. How can i get some of that. Well i'm gonna break it down and help you out in today's episode so the first thing we need to recognize is that whether you're shooting a video that's recorded and then you're gonna You know posted somewhere on social or if it's a live webinar or a life coaching call. You must see being on camera as public speaking. It's a form of public speaking. So if you're not comfortable on stage most likely you're not going to be comfortable on camera now. The good news is it's a whole lot easier to be a great speaker on camera. Then it is to be on stage. This is why actors see stage performers as s- quote unquote highly skilled actors. Because it's a whole lot different to speak in front of a large live audiences looking back at you versus you know into a lens. So that's the good news. It's actually a skill that you can pick up pretty quickly and something you can get used to but i want you to have the mindset that this is a public speech this is a public speaking exercise and the reason why this is important because if you see it this way you're really think of the audience before you think about yourself and that's really important. One key mindset shift is if you want to start doing better on camera or just in general speaking to anybody focus on your audience. Focus on the talking to focus on trying to add more value and Give them a great class. Webinar video tip whatever. It is focused on them. The more you focus on them the listening to focus on yourself and be self conscious and worried about the way you sound look or come across. Okay this is a really good tip that i got early on in my career and it's really helped second. This is something that you need to hear like skill had you learn. How how'd you learn to ride a bike. How'd you learn how to drive. How did you learn to do yoga right. You tried it once and you stuck with it. You did it over and over again and the more reps the more repetitions you have at something. The more comfortable. You're going to be right now. You might go in front of the camera and you're thinking about a million things. You're not sure where to look. You're not sure the way you sound. You're not sure how to enunciate or how to frame yourself and all that kind of stuff but look back when you first learned how to drive those first few weeks when you learn how to drive. You are super super alert. You're kind of thinking about everything you're looking around the cars driving by. You're totally focused. Your knuckles are totally totally white house. You're gripping the wheel so hard now when you drive after years of experience you're doing a million things. You're changing the radio station. You're looking at the directions you're talking to the person next to you. And it's almost like on autopilot. You can drive and multitask and easily do other things. That's purely because you feel more comfortable. You've done it so many times. It's so easy so one of the best things you can do is to give yourself as many reps as possible. This is i think recorded video is a game changer. It's going to help you big time. One of the best ways to get better on camera is to have a series of recorded videos that you do so say for example. You're launching a new course and you need to record twenty four new videos and you're going to do it in two weeks you're gonna sprint the acceleration of how comfortable you are from a camera because you're doing it in a sprint of twenty four videos in a row you're going to get out of your system you're gonna start feeling more and more confident be going to start with the first video and what i did is i actually shot my first video. It was about four minutes long. And i watched that video over and over. I wrote down notes. As if i'm critiquing somebody else. Oh i looked away from the camera here. Oh there's just too much room above me You know above my head. I should make sure the it's tighter frame. I'm playing of my nose don't do that. I'm saying i'm an aw be mindful then or write down these things out shoot the video again the same video and try to improve upon the things i took notes on and then a watch it again and see.

Rba a shot over one hundred twenty videos over the course of a month and boy. After that i was super comfortable for the camera tip number to get used to looking directly in the camera lens. You kind of want to look at your screen. Is your knee jerk. Reaction wanna look at your phone screening. Wanna look at your computer screen. Don't look directly into the camera.

It's almost like an yoga. Were you focus on a spot on the wall. So you can meditate right by focusing on the lens allows you to focus on what you're trying to say next. Be okay with messing up. It's okay to mess up. It's okay for you to fumble in your words. It's okay if you by mistake said the wrong thing and you correct yourself. This is natural and people will actually appreciate a natural talker. Next an outline can help you tremendously knowing what you're going to cover in order not to be long winded or to waffle round.

How To Get Comfortable Being on Camera
"Listen i get it. Being on camera can feel unnatural. We're self conscious about the way we look at what we sound. The we were coming off or how people are receiving us. We may even look at other people in our industry. That just seemed like naturals on camera. If so much charisma. They feel comfortable and confident. How can i get some of that. Well i'm gonna break it down and help you out in today's episode so the first thing we need to recognize is that whether you're shooting a video that's recorded and then you're gonna You know posted somewhere on social or if it's a live webinar or a life coaching call. You must see being on camera as public speaking. It's a form of public speaking. So if you're not comfortable on stage most likely you're not going to be comfortable on camera now. The good news is it's a whole lot easier to be a great speaker on camera. Then it is to be on stage. This is why actors see stage performers as s- quote unquote highly skilled actors. Because it's a whole lot different to speak in front of a large live audiences looking back at you versus you know into a lens. So that's the good news. It's actually a skill that you can pick up pretty quickly and something you can get used to but i want you to have the mindset that this is a public speech this is a public speaking exercise and the reason why this is important because if you see it this way you're really think of the audience before you think about yourself and that's really important. One key mindset shift is if you want to start doing better on camera or just in general speaking to anybody focus on your audience. Focus on the talking to focus on trying to add more value and Give them a great class. Webinar video tip whatever. It is focused on them. The more you focus on them the listening to focus on yourself and be self conscious and worried about the way you sound look or come across. Okay this is a really good tip that i got early on in my career and it's really helped second. This is something that you need to hear like skill had you learn. How how'd you learn to ride a bike. How'd you learn how to drive. How did you learn to do yoga right. You tried it once and you stuck with it. You did it over and over again and the more reps the more repetitions you have at something. The more comfortable. You're going to be right now. You might go in front of the camera and you're thinking about a million things. You're not sure where to look. You're not sure the way you sound. You're not sure how to enunciate or how to frame yourself and all that kind of stuff but look back when you first learned how to drive those first few weeks when you learn how to drive. You are super super alert. You're kind of thinking about everything you're looking around the cars driving by. You're totally focused. Your knuckles are totally totally white house. You're gripping the wheel so hard now when you drive after years of experience you're doing a million things. You're changing the radio station. You're looking at the directions you're talking to the person next to you. And it's almost like on autopilot. You can drive and multitask and easily do other things. That's purely because you feel more comfortable. You've done it so many times. It's so easy so one of the best things you can do is to give yourself as many reps as possible.

Protect Your Sobriety Through Holiday Stress
"To this topic today about overcoming the overwhelm of holiday stress protect your sobriety through holiday stress. Okay that's what we're going to be focused on and you know the first thing i'm gonna talk about is planning ahead. Holiday season comes at the same time every year. There is no excuse for not being prepared. This season will probably be a little different because of corona virus. I know for me. Some of our family isn't going to travel just to be safe so our celebration will be smaller than normal. But i'm already thinking about my plan for myself right. There's no reason to sit back and do nothing and wait for the overwhelmed to crush you when you know it's coming and holidays stress isn't only about the parties and drinking either. There is added stress of preparation for travel or prep for people. Staying in your home. Cooking and baking. Like i talked about a minute ago. The grocery shopping for all the cooking and baking and of course the holiday gift shopping being surrounded by family members that we don't know all that well being in crowds social anxiety. All of it is exaggerated in at a higher level than normal and then throw in the corona virus on top of it all and the stress of trying to stay safe. Keep your family saved decide whether to have your celebration or not travel or not staying socially distanced through all the grocery shopping and gift shopping. I mean it's a lot it's just a lot. Did i even mention the financial stress of it. All i mean money money money going out every frigging direction. It's kind of funny to me too. Like i said holiday season comes the same time every year. So it's always a little bit amusing to me when i don't think about it earlier. You know what. I mean like the last couple of years. I've been really good about doing some of my shopping much earlier in the year. Instead of leaving it all till the last minute because it is stressful. I don't care if you have ten million dollars in the bank like it is stressful. When you just see your money going going going going going every direction so we all have stress in our everyday lives on some level right in the short term stress can be good it gives us a shot of cortisol and adrenaline and your body goodson action mode and keeps you focused and helps you get things done. But you can't live in that state long term you'll start having all kinds of crazy side effects mentally and physically. And it's just not sustainable. What i want you to focus on in the next couple of weeks is getting a plan together for yourself not just thinking about it. Haphazardly but really mapping out a plan to protect yourself protect your sobriety and keep your stress manageable. So you don't end up vulnerable to the drink right it out in your journal talk it through with your sponsor or your coach or your accountability. Person have a thorough plan in place for those of you. Who are really doing the sober thing and have made a true commitment. You've probably already started thinking about this. And the first thing i want you to think about is having some boundaries boundaries. Around your time and your schedule okay. I am a person who needs to take a time out here and there. I need to step away from the work. The phone the computer the family the dog the everything i need a few minutes to decompress get my thoughts in order and give myself a little pep talk and i need to do that in silence so the way i do. This is when i'm in any type of group situation whether it's business related friends or family or a. My escape is always to the bathroom. And if you've listened to this podcast for any length of time or for sure if you've been on a coaching call with me. You already know this is my thing my group actually in my six week program right now. We're just laughing at me about this the other day. But it's so true. We all have to go to the bathroom multiple times a day. Excusing yourself to the bathroom is acceptable in normal in any situation. Like it's the perfect escape if you need a minute so use that

Who Do You Want To Serve When You Grow Up?
"All right. So this is my thoughts hoping remind me Sharon from you but. We talked about. Inside of our community to talk about the fact that I believe. Each and every one of us is called to serve a group of people right? It's like I for me. I was called to serve entrepreneurs, right? So I figured I, who am I? To serve their entrepreneurs and then it's like. Well, there's a lot of entrepreneurs who remind my entrepreneurs, right my entrepreneurs funnel hackers, and they give them a name and a title. Belief in an all kind of stuff right? It was interesting because as I knew like, Oh, here's who heard. These are my people this is this is what I'm supposed to serve. Then everything else can really easy like then it was like, well, what are these people need? They need this this and the idea is the products, the Services Events, the coaching calls the podcast, all the things bike game easy when I first identified they who am I called the serve, and then giving those people in needs specific people saying I sort of entrepreneurs it's tough because. There's lot people from nurse. Now make fighting competing everybody else was not answer all entrepreneurs I, serve my entrepreneurship funnel hackers, right? and. So it's interesting though because I was talking today Some people and? There's a phrase that we hear all the time like when we're when we're kids, it's like, what do you want to be when you grow up people are going to be a dentist want to be a doctor I? WanNa be a football player I want to be we talk about who we want to be right but you think about like how we actually make money how actually start businesses it's not about who we wanna be is who we want to serve. Right. It's like this little thing it's sort of like with our kids ask them you want to be you want to be when you grow up or asking of the kids who graduate high school what do you WanNa be someday when you have to call it. What do you want to be i? Think the asked the question what would wanna be census on the wrong path I wanna be dentist dentist. Well, you gotta go to. School here, and then you go to school here and then all then you become a dentist and then you get your dental degree now able to clean people's teeth, right? Now you clean teeth. The questions like well, who do you serve and you're a Dentist they just like everybody probably right and it just put you on this long long long long long path that before you ever get to the real question, which is who you call the serve. Increase switching around like who do you want to survey? Who Your? Who's your tribe whose your whatever you WANNA call it right. So looking at that standpoint it changes everything right? It changes how you start looking at this business and starts changing all the different things. Question for you is you're starting this journey wherever you are is not. So it's like, would you wanna be when you grow up in and I've asked myself that a lot but it's like who do you WanNa serve grub right? Who is a group of people that you're the most passionate about who is the? Morning and be like, okay this is the group I get to serve it would it would change everything for you right and then if you have that, you have that person you figure out like what's your name for that group who your people then I all the ideas start flowing easier right I think when I first got started in this business. And I talked about this a little bit in the dotcom secrets book those who have read it. If you haven't read the new updated version by the way, please we'll get a promise getting updated one. But I talked about how? I started my business like what I was focusing on. I was like, what do I want to create rise they all WANNA create this product and this product again. The questions a lot people chase down, but it puts you in really weird path. I want to create a product that does this because I had to say I want to create a product that is this. So. From products I thought that was the path I start creating selling them and you luckily I was able to figure out the process started making money but it was they by default what I created. It attracted a certain audience right and because they didn't athlete who don't want to serve, I wouldn't want to create a crazy thing and then by default created attracted a certain type of people to me. Right it's like Bait it's like I'm on a Fisher but. One time I remember there's like different Bait right if I want to catch. The fish so embarrassing on a catch, a big fish oughta gets a trout or. Salmon or whatever there's different Bait right and the throughout throughout track's from fish to you K I've noticed that is actually true maybe estimated up but I think is if not, you guys get the same thing, the Bait you put out into the world attracts from people because I led with like what's the Bait? I WANNA create right with the idea have what's the Bait I started doing this or thrown This debate out not knowing what is going to track, and also it's like, oh my gosh, attracted trout and Mike Oh I actually hate trout right or hate salmon or whatever your your version of that in dotcom secrets book I talk about that how I woke up one day and I was laying in bed and I was like, I, wish I had a Boston he could fire because this is miserable and Not Enjoying this experience at all it was it was such a bad thing, right? And so. If you remember the default like what I shouldn't is shifted away from like we I want to create who want to serve a WHO is my dream customer a wish lead with that never did and most people don't we lead with what ought to be when I grow up what we want to create here's an idea hat right and all those things sent you WanNa path, but it's not a direct path. The Path is who don't want to serve. Then go find those people in theory actually need and how they want to be served right because you come in with the product that people don't actually want no one's going to buy it and then like it doesn't work for you right and you're frustrated all this business at work all migrated workweek you'll need to have great ideas business not being super hyper creative. That's not gonNA help you much will oversee so creative no, no, no, I'm not creative. I'd just really good at knowing exactly, I'm serving and I pay close attention they want that's it.
