Oh lord, Usually 61 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: were on the phone for like two hours, and I 62 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: still don't feel like I got enough. 63 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 3: Okay. 64 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: Tip. So, as you guys know, I have been running 65 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: my business now for a little a year and a 66 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: half year and some change, and I focus on I 67 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: originally focus on career coaching. I am now based on 68 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: some guidance from Tiffany and also just sort of seeing 69 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: where the where am I superpower has emerged? Like what 70 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: makes me different? I am niching down and I'm going 71 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: even further and identifying myself as a negotiation expert, not 72 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: just a career coach, which I do and I do well, 73 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: but an actual negotiation expert. So, Tiff, what I wanted 74 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: to talk to you first is like, what are some 75 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: lessons about niching down that you think have been pivotal 76 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: to your business success? And do you think that it's 77 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: smart of me to start niching down in this way 78 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: even further from like career expert, but really as like 79 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: a negotiation expert. 80 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: So I learned the niche Down lesson when in the beginning, 81 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: like so many entrepreneurs, it's like I do everything for everybody, 82 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: you know, and it sounds great because it's like I 83 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: have a big audience. But what happens is psychologically the 84 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: potential customer does not see your full value. Right. So imagine, 85 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 3: like what's your favorite food that you let to eat? Oh? 86 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: What type of food? Like Greek? All right? Bus? Okay? 87 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: So like Spanish? Like was that Dominican food? 88 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: That's Venezuelan. 89 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: Venezuelan, Okay, So you love Venezuelan food. And if I said, Mandy, 90 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: let's go out to eat, you know I'm in the 91 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 3: mood for Venezuela and alongside with you, should we go 92 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: to this Venezuelan restaurant or should we go to this 93 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: this buffet that also serves Venezuelan food. Which one would 94 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,559 Speaker 3: you choose? 95 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: I would choose the Venezuelan restaurant, right because why because 96 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: the assumption is you folk that restaurant focused specifically on 97 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: Venezuelan food, meaning they're going to bring you the best 98 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: possible food outcome, because that's all they do. 99 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: The buffet is although they might have general good, there 100 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 3: are a general food places. And so if you're wanting 101 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: customers that are going to cling to you and say 102 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 3: you are my go to, you can't be a buffet business, 103 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 3: you know, because then you're gonna get customers who are indecisive. 104 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 3: I want a little bit of this, a little bit 105 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: of that Mandy could do or anybody else could do, 106 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 3: because any buffet will do if you're just looking for 107 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: general food. But if I want Venezuelan food, I'm going specifically, 108 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 3: like we're calling Vezezuela food, like negotiating. If I want 109 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: negotiating advice, I go specifically to Mandy because that's what 110 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: she does. Versus another coach who coaches in all things. Now, 111 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 3: here's what makes it special them. In the beginning, niching 112 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 3: down is critical because you're wanting to connect, like you 113 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 3: want to have this visceral connection with your audience, and 114 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 3: you do that being very by being very specific. But 115 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 3: you're not gonna stay there forever because ideally what you're 116 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 3: wanting is you want to really grow what I call 117 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: a tree business. So a tree business is a business 118 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 3: that grows a really strong root and one core thing. 119 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 3: I am the budget east, a budget budget, budget, budge budget, 120 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 3: and I grew such a strong route, such a strong 121 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 3: trunk in that tree. If you're watching on YouTube, which 122 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: you should be, you'll see my hands. So this is 123 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 3: a tree trunk, such a strong tree trunk, and budgeting 124 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 3: budget and budget budgeting. Over time, I got to branch 125 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 3: off into these strong branches into I also talk about 126 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: credit and dead and I have books online school. You 127 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: see what I mean. Nike was just a running sneaker 128 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: and now you can buy Nike, Nike watches, Nike t shirts, 129 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: Nike apps. But if Nike opened with that from the 130 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: very beginning, they would be a bush business. You know 131 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 3: how bushes grow, They spot very quickly and their branches 132 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: are brittle and they stunt their own growth. And so 133 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: that's why I told you that, like get really really 134 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: clearly and a niche down. But it doesn't mean you'll 135 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 3: be niche forever. But you are growing the tree trunk 136 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 3: that people will come to know, love and trust you for. 137 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: So then you can branch out into these stronger branches 138 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 3: because they're like, oh is that Mandy from the negotiating 139 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: thing that I love so much? Oh, she also has 140 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 3: and she has and she has and she has and 141 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: she has versus you know, like you're like the corner 142 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 3: store with that's selling chicken chains and you know and bootlegs. 143 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, and so so yeah, that's why I like, 144 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 3: that's the big lesson. That's why I told you to 145 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 3: start from that place, because you will set yourself apart 146 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 3: as a specialist. 147 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: Thank you for reminding me of that of that point. 148 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: And I love the tree trunk analogy. I feel like 149 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: we need to like compile and make a book out 150 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: of all these beautiful like like horticulture analogies that fit 151 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: so well with business and no, but for real, because 152 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: because even though I remember I'm like niche and you 153 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: hear a lot of things. A lot of people are like, 154 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: you know, riches are in your niches even though you 155 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: don't pronounce anyway, and Niching down and how important it is, 156 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: and of course you've told me that as well. You 157 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: can sometimes like your mind gets in your own way, 158 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: and even just today I'm like, oh, but wait, I 159 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: do this and that too. But I'm like, yeah, you 160 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: just reminded me, Like that's okay, focus on the negotiating, 161 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: making that the tree trunk, because I haven't had that 162 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: one pillar of greatness of excellence until I started to 163 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: lean into negotiating. I definitely had a lot of like 164 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: great feedback as a career coach, but to actually like 165 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: be able to articulate my value and build trust with 166 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: the community, to be the go to and build that 167 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: trust in that one skill set, then I feel like 168 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: and you reminded me that, okay, of course, like they 169 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: would then trust me for what I think is also 170 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: important professional branding, interview skills, you know, all of the 171 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: other components of a holistic career approach.

I'm so close to being done, yay. 176 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: So I've been working with a coach since June and 177 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: it's been wonderful. Her name is Rachelle, and it's been 178 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: really helpful to have that accountability to actually get this 179 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: stage of the process done because at this point in 180 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: my business, no one, like people are not knocking down 181 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: my door begging me to write a book. So I 182 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: have to actually propose a concept for a book and 183 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: then like you know, take that to an agent and 184 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: then to a publisher. But I'm already, of course, thinking 185 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: of I'm manifesting that I'm going to get a book deal, 186 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: and I know with get good with money sort of 187 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: being there a little bit to watch your journeys. How 188 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: important it is not about just like selling that book 189 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: when it hits shelves, but like the six months before 190 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: that pre selling, Yeah, the pre ordering and that strategy. 191 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: So I know it's maybe a little premature because I've 192 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: just you know, finished my I'm almost the old the 193 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: book proposal, but I don't have a book deal yet, 194 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: But I would love if you can talk a little 195 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: bit about the strategy that helped you propel Get Good 196 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: with Money in those six months pre ordering that pre 197 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: ordering phase to become the national bestseller that it eventually did. 198 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 3: New York Times, Well, who's counting for eight weeks? 199 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, sorry New York Times.

But she has a huge book coming out, 207 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 3: and so my MENSI I was coaching her for the 208 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 3: last like three months, just off gp about her book 209 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: and what to do. And I gave her all of 210 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 3: the notes that my team and I had. I added 211 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 3: her to our Slack channel that we had. She went 212 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: through created a spreadsheet called and it says T minus 213 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: seven months, We're literally what we did month by month 214 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: by month by month. I was like, girl, thank you could. 215 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 3: So I was gonna give that to you, just so 216 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: you know, people who are listening. I know, not sorry 217 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 3: not to you. I'm gonna get that to Mandy because I'm 218 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 3: gonna give that to my mentees, like you know, I 219 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: have like my mentor Tiffany dot com. So I'm gonna 220 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 3: give that to my mentees there, but I'm gonna give 221 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 3: it to you so you have it. So because just 222 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: to start to look, because it's like so even I 223 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 3: was like, we did that, we did that. So but 224 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 3: here's some core things. So at the it's most basic. 225 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 3: As soon as you know your book name, go buy it. 226 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 3: Manny knows my pet Peeve is get that damn domain. 227 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: It's ten dollars from go Daddy, like don't let somebody else. 228 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 3: And if you can't get your domain, slap book on it. 229 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 3: So Get Good with Money was taken. But as soon 230 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 3: as I knew that was the name of my book, 231 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: Go Daddy actually has this great feature where for like 232 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 3: sixty bucks, they will negotiate on your behalf to buy 233 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 3: the domain. So I had to buy mine. I think 234 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 3: I paid twelve hundred, but it was worth it and 235 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 3: if I couldn't get it, I was just going to 236 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: get I think I had already bought like Get Good 237 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: moneybook dot com, Like that's you know, your slap book 238 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 3: on the beginning or the end of it. For the 239 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 3: most part, you could probably get your domain. So get 240 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: your domain. It seems simple. But the thing I see 241 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: now is that that's going to help with marketing so 242 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 3: much because if you're just saying click the link in 243 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: my bio or go buy on Amazon, that is not 244 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 3: going to be helpful. Because in order to make national 245 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 3: bestsellers lists, they like to see that you're a true 246 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 3: national bestseller. They want to see that you have book 247 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 3: sales in different places. Target is selling your book and 248 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 3: people are buying, Bars and Nobles is selling your book 249 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 3: and people are buying certainly Amazon, they know that's the 250 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: biggest chunk. But if all your book sales come from Amazon, 251 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 3: then you're not likely to make the list. So if 252 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 3: all you're doing is sending people to Amazon, you're cutting 253 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 3: yourself off. So get your domain. So also too something 254 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 3: to think. So you should be doing thinking about now 255 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 3: because it might take a while build that basic website. 256 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: You know, like if you look at get good money 257 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 3: dot com, we're not geniuses. My publisher and certainly your 258 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 3: publisher might help. They gave me like a four or 259 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 3: five other book sites that tend to do well, and 260 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: so I took and I made an amalgamation of all 261 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 3: the aspects of that site that really worked. And so 262 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 3: and that's how like I had my book person, my 263 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: my developer make get Good with money dot com. So 264 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 3: if you go there, everything there is on purpose to 265 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 3: like get people to go and figure out what book 266 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: they want to buy, you know, where they want to 267 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 3: purchase a book from all those things. Okay, so that's two. 268 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 3: Make sure you're you know, you're having your buy your domain, 269 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: get your your website, start building that because I might 270 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: take some time. Uh Three, these are some basic things 271 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 3: and I've because honestly, I'm actually working on a checklist, Mandy. 272 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 3: So as soon as I finish it, like almost like 273 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 3: a startup checklist, I'll share that with you too, like before, during, 274 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 3: and after the book comes out. Checklist that like every 275 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: author friend I know should know. You know, because I 276 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 3: was talking to my friend, my big time friend whose 277 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 3: book is coming out, and it sounded very overwhelming the 278 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: things I was telling her, and I was like, Tiffany, 279 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 3: this is two much. You need to just come up 280 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 3: with a checklist, even if it's thirty things like okay, 281 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: before the book comes out, do this during when the 282 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: book is here, like you know, during launchtime and then 283 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 3: after so I'm working on that and I'll give you 284 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 3: that too. Okay, So so something else that's super simple. 285 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 3: It seems simple, but people forget go to Amazon and 286 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 3: create an author page. You know, this is really important. 287 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: My publisher told me this. You create an author page 288 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 3: because you're gonna want, like to get people to follow it, 289 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 3: so Amazon can then let people know who are interested 290 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: in you, Hey, your book is coming out. You know 291 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 3: that takes off because Amazon will literally pay people like, hey, 292 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: your book is coming out. Hey, Mandy, who you're following? 293 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 3: Books is coming out? So it seems simple. But yeah, 294 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 3: just creating an author page on Amazon? 295 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: Can I do that before I get a deal? Though? Probably? 296 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 3: You know, so probably for you because I already I 297 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 3: had some self published books before. Yeah, you know, so 298 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: see how long, like how it's going to work for 299 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 3: like how I mean you might want to google? How 300 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 3: far advanced can I create an author page? You know 301 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 3: what I mean? Okay, So, just because like I said, 302 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 3: I had, like you know, I had a ton of 303 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: self published books, so it was easy for me to 304 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 3: I already have because I already had an author page, 305 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: but I didn't know how important that was something else. Yeah, yeah, 306 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 3: I didn't, honestly, like, there's so many things I learned 307 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 3: when I tell you, that's why I said I need 308 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 3: to create this checklist because the spreadsheet is it can 309 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: be a little overwhelming, although it's really great and detailed. 310 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: Just a basic checklist for those people who don't want 311 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 3: to do all of that. Because I did all the things. 312 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 3: Something that really helped ahead of time, too, is create 313 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 3: your street team. So I called my street team my 314 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: DC for drink Catchers, my DC five hundred, and so 315 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 3: what that is it's a group of anywhere from fifty 316 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 3: to no more than five hundred. Five hundred was just 317 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 3: because my audist is really large, but fifty to five 318 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 3: hundred folks who are committed to helping you to get 319 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 3: the word about the book. But here's the thing, that's 320 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 3: not how you're going to ask them. Because when we 321 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: first said, hey, DC five hundred, who wants to help 322 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 3: Tiffany promote the book? Nobody cared because I liked, okay, 323 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 3: people are busy, So instead I said, hey, books coming 324 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: out a few months as a big thank you. I 325 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: want to say thank you. Although I can't do it 326 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 3: for everyone, but for five hundred dream Catchers, I'm going 327 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 3: to give you the digital version of the book for 328 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: free upfront.

And the thing 345 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 3: is I did this also for the Netflix special. We 346 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: have a five hundred group people there, and and so 347 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 3: what you do is you pour into them ten things 348 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 3: and you ask for one. Hey, guys, like, for example, 349 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 3: something I ask for that you can do ahead of 350 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 3: time is good Reads. So if you want your books 351 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 3: to be in libraries, librarians don't look at Amazon reviews. 352 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: They look at Goodreads reviews. And so what's so great 353 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 3: about Goodreads is that Amazon won't let you review a 354 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 3: book until the book is actually live. But good Reads 355 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: you can review a book before it's live because they 356 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: know people get Galley copies, which is just an early 357 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 3: version digital version of the book. So if you can say, hey, 358 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 3: my my street team, call them a name. You know, 359 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 3: you know, we know we love a namer out here, 360 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 3: Mandy money Makers. Right, hey, you know name of my people. 361 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: Here's your digital version. You know, please take this month 362 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 3: to read it and then next month, Hey, can you 363 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 3: guys leave me a review? Obviously never you never asked 364 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 3: for leave me a five star review. Just leave me 365 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 3: a review. You know, you hope that most people are 366 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 3: going to leave your five star review, and so, but 367 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 3: it gets your reviews going, and then it lets librarians 368 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 3: go ahead of time. Hey, there's this interesting book comes 369 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: out coming up. It already has one hundred and fifty reviews. 370 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 3: This is great, let me order it because the more 371 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 3: reviews you have, the more copies they're likely to order 372 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 3: for their library. I've had libraries. I ordered twenty copies 373 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 3: of the book, which is amazing because you think about, yeah, 374 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 3: because they saw it's gotten really popular on Goodread, so 375 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: I should have we should have a number of copies 376 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 3: in store, you know, in stock. So that's something like 377 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 3: definitely ahead of time. But when I tell you, I'm 378 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,479 Speaker 3: not gonna lie, when my publisher said have this like 379 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 3: Street Team, it didn't make sense to me. It seemed 380 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 3: counter intuitive to give my book to five hundred people 381 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 3: and then expect that they're going to buy the book. 382 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 3: They're not going to do that. I was wrong, and 383 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 3: one of the missteps I made was not leaning into 384 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 3: my DC five hundred even more because they got the 385 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 3: digital copy and by the time the real book came out, 386 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 3: the digital copy had disappeared. You know, they had their 387 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 3: two months with it, cause I think we had the 388 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 3: group for like two or three months ahead of time. 389 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 3: The digital copy disappeared, and those five hundred women because 390 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 3: they had special link, because they got them. They got 391 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 3: a discount, those five hundred women, but nearly four thousand books. 392 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe still to this day, that's. 393 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: Like twenty books each girl. I couldn't understand. I I 394 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: liked you a lot. 395 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 3: I mean too, So what's so crazy? I couldn't believe it. 396 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 3: But it's because of all the pouring in, I guess, 397 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 3: because remember for every one thing you're pouring in, I mean, 398 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,239 Speaker 3: I'm not really ten, but you're pouring the value. It's 399 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 3: one to ten basically. And so at the time when 400 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: Clubhouse was out, this is when it was like really 401 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: hard to get a Clubhouse invite. So that was one 402 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 3: of the gifts gifts that I gave them. I gave 403 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 3: them Clubhouse invites and then we had a Clubhouse stage 404 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 3: together where everybody changed their cop their their picture on 405 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: Clubhouse to the copy of the book. 406 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: Remember that. 407 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, So it was just honestly, what I tell you 408 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: is so much fun to just hang out with these 409 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 3: group of largely women who are just like they received 410 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 3: so much value. They got to connect with each other. 411 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 3: So we did do it on Facebook and it was temporary. 412 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 3: So a month after the book came out, we let 413 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 3: them know this only temporary anyway. But a month after 414 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 3: the book came out, we closed it down. So it 415 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 3: was like a few months before because the purpose of 416 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: the of your street team, their most value is before 417 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 3: and during launch week and then afterwards, you know, like 418 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 3: certainly a few weeks after. So a month after we 419 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 3: were like okay, you know, like we're closing down, and 420 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 3: they knew and they're like, this is amazing. But what 421 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 3: that let me know is whenever I do something again, 422 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 3: Like like I said, we have the Netflix film, we 423 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 3: did it again and it's been working amazing.

So 439 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 3: that was a huge, huge, huge, So I cannot overstate 440 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 3: how I wish I would have poured even more into 441 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 3: that crowd because of how much I did not know 442 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 3: honestly how valuable that was gonna be. So that was huge. 443 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 3: And I would say, like, I mean, there was a 444 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 3: bunch of like a ton of other things. But you 445 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 3: have to know this if you want a national bestseller, 446 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: like a New York Time bestseller. Otherwise, the key things 447 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: they're looking for is you have to sell a certain 448 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 3: a maunder of a number of books within one week. 449 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 3: Now here's the Caveat your first week of book sales, 450 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 3: they will add on any pre orders before the book 451 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 3: was live. That's why a lot of people make it 452 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 3: one week and then fall off. There's no shade in that, 453 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 3: but I'm just saying, so you know, if you're most 454 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 3: likely to make any bestsellers list within your first week 455 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 3: because any of those pre sales, Now you have to 456 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 3: just ask yourself. Are you someone If you have a 457 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 3: smaller audience, you want to start pre selling months out 458 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 3: so you can collect a few hundred, a few whatever 459 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 3: along the way. If you have a bigger audience, we 460 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 3: didn't start. We pre started to heavy pre sale two 461 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 3: months out because we knew for us it was about 462 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 3: building the excitement and then saying presales available, even though 463 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 3: they could have brought it beforehand. But you see what 464 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 3: I mean. Like so, if you're big, the bigger the audience, 465 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 3: the closer to time that you want to quote unquote 466 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 3: open pre sales, the smaller the audience, you have to 467 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 3: unique time to collect your book sales. So just consider that, 468 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 3: you know so, so you want to you know you 469 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 3: do you want to sell?

Like so, because everyone's different 471 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 3: and there's nothing wrong with that. So knowing that you 472 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 3: know you want to have your so that means you're 473 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 3: gonna have to have your website earlier, sooner than later. 474 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 3: You know you're gonna want to have your you know 475 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 3: you're gonna want to have something else.

What I love about this quiz 502 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 3: side is you get to see at the bottom, Mandy, 503 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: look at me, people have taken this quiz sixty nine, 504 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 3: three hundred and three people. Holy isn't that crazy? 505 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: How does that helping with sales? Because they come to 506 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: your page to take the quiz. 507 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 3: So they take the quiz. So one, I tell people 508 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 3: you're taking the quiz for two things. One so you 509 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 3: can know what percentage of financial homeless you've reached. So 510 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 3: at the end of the quiz, it's going to say 511 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 3: you know, because there's ten questions. So if you get 512 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 3: you know, one thumbs up, you're ten percent, you get 513 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 3: fifty thumbs up, five thumbs up, fifty percent. So anything 514 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 3: fifty percent and above you get like, oh I see 515 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 3: you girl, you get in there. Anything below it's okay, 516 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 3: it's okay, I got you. So at the end of 517 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 3: the quiz, two things happen. One, it says you're going 518 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 3: to get your checklist email to you, so you don't 519 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 3: even get your quiz results so you yep. So it 520 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 3: collects your name and your email, so you get your 521 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 3: quiz results after you give me your name and email, 522 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: so you get your result and the checklist after. And 523 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 3: I just spoke with our tech person today. She said 524 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: that quiz email, the open rate is eighty percent, which 525 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 3: is insane if you know anything about email open rates. 526 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 3: Good is twenty percent. Eighty percent of people who get 527 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 3: that because they want the checklist. So at the end 528 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 3: of the quiz, I give you your your your your percentage, right, 529 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 3: you get twenty five to thirty percent whatever. And then 530 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 3: I also say, if you don't have a hundred percent, 531 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 3: let me help you go to get good money dot 532 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 3: com and get the book. 533 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: So you see, So I just take the quiz and 534 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: I got one hundred percent.

You could get the book. Now. 553 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 3: Let me tell how affected this quiz has been. So 554 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 3: like our site, So my site Gika of Money, So 555 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: if you watch the movie Get Smart with Money, my 556 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 3: book is prominently featured. They keep calling me that the 557 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 3: New York Times best selling author Tiffany so I knew 558 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 3: people were going to go to the budget he said 559 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 3: dot com website and the Giga of Money website that 560 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 3: they were going to find both. So at the top 561 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 3: of both websites it says something to the effect of, 562 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 3: are you here because you saw me on Netflix? Are 563 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 3: you ready to Get Smart with Money? Start here? And 564 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 3: the here took them to the quiz. Now, before the 565 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 3: movie came out, it was sixty thousand people who had 566 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 3: taken the quiz. Now that the movie is out, nine 567 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 3: thousand additional people have taken that quiz, and as a result, 568 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 3: Mandy I have sold over four thousand additional books, the 569 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,719 Speaker 3: more than I normally sell. But you see how you 570 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 3: see how like it seems to live on Yes, And 571 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 3: so now a few things happen. One I get book sales. 572 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 3: Two I get your email. So now when I send 573 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 3: out my weekly goodies, you know, now you're part of 574 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 3: the ecosystem of Budgetista.

That's okay because every week I'm going 576 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 3: to send you something amazing and then eventually maybe you're 577 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 3: like I should buy the book or sign up for 578 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 3: the Academy, or or become a you suit. I mean, 579 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 3: so the quiz is just such a great way to 580 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 3: one introduce people to you in a fun way, to 581 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 3: capture their email. Three give them something valuable. So mine 582 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 3: was a checklist at the end for sell your book 583 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 3: or whatever it's going to be. You see what I mean, 584 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 3: Like that one quiz did like six things for me. 585 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: And so that was so talk about your I have 586 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: not been into your website in a minute but this 587 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: budget Nisa budget Nissa book on the home page. When 588 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: did you do this? This girl? 589 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 3: Within a week and a half, when I found that 590 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 3: the movie was coming out or we're going to have 591 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 3: la Netflix, Does I give you no warning? They're like, oh, 592 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 3: it's going to be coming out. I rebuilt my web 593 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 3: I had them you know, we worked the labor day. 594 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 3: Was not on vacation. We labored on labor day. I 595 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 3: haven't seen this yet, you know, it literally just it 596 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 3: went live the month before. I'm not the moment before 597 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 3: the day before the movie came out, because I realized like, like, wait, 598 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 3: people are gonna be going to my website is my 599 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 3: website has not been updated in years? And it was 600 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 3: a mess. It was all all they know, we work 601 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 3: so hard to get the website to have all the 602 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 3: things on it from brand Ambition, the Literature Academy, like, 603 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 3: but it's the website has done exactly what it's meant 604 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 3: to do and that people come have come here and 605 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 3: found whatever they're needing from me. You know. First things 606 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 3: first is that like you know, they go to the quiz. 607 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 3: That's why we had nine thousand people take that quiz. 608 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 3: We have an additional four or five thousand people that 609 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 3: have joined the email list. It's been honestly, it's been insane. 610 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 3: And so having the right website is is so critical 611 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 3: and having a quiz ahead of time. This is just 612 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 3: in general, like let's just say you're not even having 613 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,959 Speaker 3: a book, like having a way to capture emails. It's 614 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 3: like email still is like one of the number one 615 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 3: ways to connect with people. 616 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: Oh, Tiffany, these are so many gems. Okay, but let 617 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: me take a quick little breather. I need to get 618 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: a fresh pen because I've run out of ink. And 619 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: we will be right back with more of the b, 620 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: a Q and A as Tiffany gives me more and 621 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: more business insights. 622 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 3: Something else to consider for your book ahead of time 623 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 3: too is consider maybe, I mean it's can be expensive, 624 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 3: so it's not for everyone, but consider also doing collecting 625 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 3: text messages because the average open email rates like, you know, 626 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 3: like twenty percent that's considered decent, but text message open 627 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 3: rate is eighty to ninety percent. 628 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: Oh, collecting their phone numbers, yeah, yeah, so you know 629 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: that's not on the community. 630 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 3: What's it called. It's called so I use superphone, but 631 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 3: it's it can be a little pricey. You pay basically 632 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 3: by how many texts you send out. But like it. 633 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 3: It's still something to consider, you know, because you can 634 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 3: just use it when you're really needing it. But I 635 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 3: like it because like my open rate, like I said, 636 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 3: on Superphone is like ninety percent, which is like typical 637 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 3: for text. And what's so great about it is is 638 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 3: that with a text message, you know, like so if 639 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 3: you go to for example, right now, if you go 640 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 3: to text budgetista dot com. So let's all go class 641 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 3: text Budgetista. What I like about Superphone for the community, 642 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 3: because community is the popular text messaging system that you 643 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 3: see all the celebrities using when they're like, hey, you 644 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 3: want to talk text with me? This is my real number. 645 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 3: Remember ever was doing that? Text me at two two 646 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 3: nine one one one. Now here's the thing. It is 647 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 3: their real number, it's their number, and it typically goes 648 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 3: to their phone, which is fine. But the problem with 649 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: the community way of getting people to sign up is 650 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 3: that I have to remember my number and so do you. 651 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 3: But what I like about Superphone, which is genius, is 652 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 3: I don't have to remember that. So they were like, Tiffany, 653 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 3: go to go Daddy, go get you a domain and 654 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 3: now I can just say you want to sign up 655 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 3: for text messages for me? Honestly, I don't text off it. 656 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 3: I just text what I'm like, Hey, I'm going to 657 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 3: be here, or there's some free resource I want you 658 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 3: to have access to. So I tell people go to 659 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 3: text budget Nissa dot com. You put in your information 660 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 3: and it texts you, and then from there you follow 661 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 3: the directions. You see what I mean. And what I 662 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 3: love about superphone two is that so one it's easy 663 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 3: to remember what a tifty second?

I can ask 669 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 3: all these things. One of them was I don't ask 670 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 3: all that. I just ask like, you know, where do 671 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 3: you live? And I do ask like what state you 672 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 3: live in? Because when I do, my wealth walks. Now, 673 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 3: guess what I'm gonna be texting? Hey, who are you know? 674 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 3: If you're gonna be in Detroit. It's so much easier 675 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 3: than sending an email out that I could just text 676 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: me like, Hey, I'm gonna be in Detroit this weekend. 677 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 3: Who wants to rock out? So that's what I love 678 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 3: about the text messaging is how, even though you can 679 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 3: do that with your email to it's collect where people live, 680 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 3: it's much easier with the text messaging to just be like, 681 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 3: don't forget we're meeting today, or let's just say that 682 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: you know I was going You know, I was I'm 683 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 3: going to walk in Detroit at whatever park and ends 684 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 3: up being closed when I get there. I can set 685 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 3: a quick text to be like, hey, change our mind, 686 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 3: We're actually just gonna do a city walk meet me 687 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 3: at such as such corner, because everyone's gonna get their 688 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 3: text message, you see what I mean. And so that's 689 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 3: like that's really important. So like, so you don't have 690 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 3: to do texting, but just consider that, you know, as 691 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 3: you move forward, like creating this list now the key 692 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 3: more than anything, more than anything, worth everything. I cannot 693 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 3: express that you're in a great position because you haven't 694 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 3: sold your book yet. You need to be working on 695 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 3: building community now because I know, and I know I'm 696 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 3: just saying general cause I know Mandy's doing that, you know, 697 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 3: but in general, because these are the people who are 698 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 3: going to purchase whatever you're having now, and then they 699 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 3: will tell other people people like, my book is selling 700 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 3: on average. Before the Netflix thing came out, it was 701 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 3: selling about a thousand books a week. Do you think 702 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 3: that's dream Catchers? Now a year later, dream Catchers been 703 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 3: had it. We used to send out emails. They're like, 704 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 3: we got it, Tiffiny. I'm like, okay, so I stopped 705 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,959 Speaker 3: sitting email. You know, They're like, we got it. So 706 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 3: my Dreamcatchers already have it. So who are these people 707 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 3: who are buying the book now? They're friends of friends 708 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 3: of friends. So you build an amazing community. You treat 709 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 3: them right, you pour into them, You act with integrity 710 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 3: and kindness and consistency, and they will tell their friend 711 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 3: friend friend friend, and that's who's purchasing the book now. 712 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 3: It's people who heard about it, who heard about who 713 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 3: heard about it. And so building your community before you 714 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 3: need them, pouring into them before you ask anything of them. 715 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 3: That's why it's going to be so critical now. A 716 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 3: community is what's so important about a community A few things. 717 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 3: One they come for you, they stay for each other. 718 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 3: So you have to make sure that wherever you're hanging out, 719 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,239 Speaker 3: they can connect to each other, because if they can 720 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 3: only connect with you, they won't be here long because 721 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 3: you're gonna get boring after a while, you know. And 722 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 3: so like So for example, with my mentee group that 723 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 3: my mentor Tiffany, right, they they're doing monthly menty meetups 724 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 3: virtually now that I don't even attend. So I teach 725 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 3: them every month. I do a great lesson for them. 726 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 3: But then every every month they just meet up with 727 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 3: each other and they're loving it because I know if 728 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 3: I don't provide an opportunity for them to do that, 729 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 3: they won't stay long, you know. And so just consider 730 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 3: like what does that look like? And where will my 731 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 3: people hang out? So that's critical. So there are places. 732 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,719 Speaker 3: There's definitely Facebook groups, which is not my fave. I personally, 733 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 3: I like a Facebook group for temporary groups. So, hey, 734 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 3: the book is coming out a great place. Do a 735 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 3: Facebook Now here's the key. I learned this lesson the 736 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 3: hard way. If you're going to do a Facebook group, 737 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 3: the critical component is one the Facebook group should be 738 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 3: a private group that people have to answer questions to join, 739 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 3: because you don't want more than your five hundred, like 740 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 3: I said, fifty to five hundred, and the questions to join. 741 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 3: A mistake I made for the Netflix Facebook group was 742 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 3: I didn't collect any way to communicate with them outside 743 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 3: of the Facebook group. So one two mistakes. One I 744 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 3: made it too big because I was like, forget five hundred, 745 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 3: let's do three thousand. Three thousand less people participated, So 746 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 3: I ended up shutting that group down because the more 747 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 3: people in the group, that less likely you're gonna get engagement. 748 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 3: And the whole purpose of this type of group, like 749 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 3: my DreamCatcher group is five hundred thousand. That's fine, you know, 750 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 3: that's just a free group. It's a free for all. 751 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 3: But a specific group that's meant to be your street 752 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 3: team needs to be small and compact, you know. And 753 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 3: so they were hearing me because Facebook as a hater 754 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 3: and so it was critical to me. So I shut 755 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 3: that three thousand group down and I said, Okay, Facebook 756 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 3: is not letting me talk to y'all. We're going to 757 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 3: reopen with with five hundred. And before you enter, one 758 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 3: of the questions we asked was I said, are we 759 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 3: going to communicate with them via email or text? We 760 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 3: decided to text. Before you enter, you had to sign 761 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:24,280 Speaker 3: up for I actually bought like a like a domain 762 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 3: because we had a special sign up that added them 763 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 3: to our text list. But the specific teest for list 764 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 3: where I knew these were our Netflix people, and so 765 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 3: we had to double check. We had to look when 766 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 3: people signed up, and then we look for them because 767 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 3: behind the scenes, when someone applies to be part of 768 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 3: your Facebook group, you can see them on the waiting list. 769 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 3: So as soon as we saw you on our text list, 770 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 3: we'd let you in. So now what happens now is 771 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 3: when I post something in Facebook. I know you didn't 772 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 3: see it because Facebook is a hater, but we texted 773 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 3: to everyone as well. Hey, just so you know, I 774 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 3: just posted a contest today where if you share your 775 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 3: favorite part about the movie, I'm going to be gifting 776 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 3: ten people a copy of my book. As you stay 777 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 3: on social media, you be part about the movie. You 778 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 3: see what I mean. I don't have to wonder, you 779 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 3: see what I mean? Because that was huge that you 780 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 3: have to be able to communicate with your people off 781 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 3: the social media platform. So social media is a great 782 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 3: place to communicate or to convene together. But if you 783 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 3: can't say I can text and email them to say 784 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 3: that thing has been posted, they will never see it 785 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 3: and it will have been a waste. So just keep 786 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 3: that in mind too, that wherever you're hanging out, Yes, 787 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 3: wherever you're hanging out. 788 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 1: I want to talk about Facebook a little bit because 789 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: my I think I have. I do have a Mandy 790 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 1: money Maker's Facebook group that I originally started, but I 791 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: don't I'm trying to stay true to my authentic self. 792 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: I don't like Facebook. I don't use Facebook. It's just 793 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 1: gotten to be cumbersome. So I have been using Mandy Money. 794 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,919 Speaker 1: Through Mandy Money, I have been using Slack. I love it, 795 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: but so far it's just been Mandy money Makers who 796 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: have gone through the group, gone through the group coaching program. 797 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: So it's small. It's like fifty women at this point, 798 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 1: and when I have future cohorts, we just add to it. 799 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: But I don't have a free for all community space 800 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: right now. So if I don't like Facebook, for me, 801 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: it's been like Instagram and my email list. Is that okay? 802 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 2: Or what do you? 803 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: What do you think? 804 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 3: I was just so a place that I've been testing 805 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 3: out that I like so far. So I actually moved 806 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 3: my paid group so Literature Academy. That group used to 807 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 3: be on Facebook, because if you do have an online school, 808 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 3: it's really smart to have a place where they can 809 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 3: hang out, like the community can hang out. And so 810 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 3: it used to be our Facebook group. So we switched 811 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 3: them over to something called Mighty Networks. 812 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: And I've heard of Mighty Networks. 813 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 3: And so so it's an alternative where everybody will see 814 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 3: your things. So so explore that as an alternative to 815 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 3: a group where you're free for so I'm actually I've 816 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 3: been exploring Myighty Networks for the paid one. It's been great. 817 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 3: So I am tiptoeing with maybe just a few thousand 818 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 3: dream Catchers to see can I moave my can I 819 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 3: move the free group here as well? Okay, so like 820 00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 3: so I'm gonna but we're just testing it out. We're 821 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 3: gonna actually test it out heavily. We're testing it out 822 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 3: now and if we like it in the new year, 823 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 3: we're going to make the big announcements. Come join us here. 824 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: And it's like a website. It's not an app. 825 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 3: So yes, the thing is it can be now it 826 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 3: costs money. So for the free group, I did not 827 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 3: build an app. But for the Literature Academy group, like 828 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 3: we built the app. It was not inexpensive. I want 829 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 3: to say it was maybe like between twenty and thirty 830 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 3: thousand dollars to build an app. So there's actually an 831 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 3: app you can have on your phone, your dream because 832 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 3: I call the members of my online school my dream builders. 833 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 3: There's a dream build or app that you can click 834 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 3: on and it's very much a community space. You can 835 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 3: ask questions. It's honestly, it's walking out. They're loving it there. 836 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 3: Now for the free group, I don't know that I'm 837 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 3: going to invest to have the app, but at least 838 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 3: it will be a site that you can go to 839 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 3: and if I see that's going well, maybe next year. 840 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 3: Later on next year, I'll invest to have a specific app. So, 841 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 3: because what I like about it is that if I 842 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 3: can get my free group or large most of my 843 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 3: free group over to Mighty Networks, it makes it easier 844 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 3: than to say, hey, did you know I have an 845 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 3: online school. Don't worry, you don't have to go far, 846 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 3: just right across the street and our other Mighty Networks app. 847 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 3: So I can train people how to navigate Mighty Networks 848 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 3: on the free group, so when it's time if they 849 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 3: want to bump up and learn more and more nuanced 850 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 3: personal finance. They can join the paid group and they're 851 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 3: not having to learn a new skill set about how 852 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 3: to navigate the space. You know, So just consider Mighty Networks. 853 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 3: It's fairly inexpensive for the free version or the less 854 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 3: expensive version, and then if you find it's really really, 855 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 3: really helpful, and there are different tiers with different levels 856 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 3: of access to tools, so consider that as well. But community, 857 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 3: for me, community, I don't think people want to know, like, 858 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 3: what's the secret sauce behind Budgetista, And it's my ability 859 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 3: to build and connect community because anything I do, I 860 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 3: don't have to restart the machine. Hey guys, I have 861 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 3: a documentary now. Remember we talked about Mandy earlier, the 862 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 3: tree trunk and the branches. Look, I started off doing 863 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,800 Speaker 3: budgeting one on one. Look at one of my branches 864 00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 3: is literally I have a documentary. What does it have 865 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 3: to do budgeting one on one? Because I do such 866 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 3: a strong branch, I could lily branch off into a 867 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 3: documentary and guess what it was top one percent of 868 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 3: films viewed in its first week out. Because of that, 869 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 3: you know, because of growing such a strong branch, I 870 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 3: don't have to reinvent the Wheel. I go right back 871 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 3: to the very community that I pour into day in, 872 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 3: day out, day and day out, and I say I 873 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 3: have another thing, and they're like, Tiffany, the person that 874 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,280 Speaker 3: we know like and trust for the last fifteen years, 875 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 3: tell us what it is since we got you, you 876 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 3: see what I mean? So and something else just to consider. 877 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 3: I know this, like so many things. I'm like, honestly, 878 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 3: I get so excited about it. But one of the 879 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 3: mistakes I see people make when they have their book 880 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 3: come out. It's okay in the very beginning to say 881 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 3: a couple times, you know, support my book. Past that 882 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 3: nobody cares. Girl, If I see one more time, if 883 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 3: y'all could just buy my book, if what does the 884 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 3: book teach me? Sir? You know what I mean. I'm like, 885 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 3: I buy books so I can be better. That should 886 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 3: be the push, like, not buy my book because it's 887 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 3: gonna help. So even with Netflix, in the beginning, certainly 888 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, my film came out. 889 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 3: Yeah yah, yeah, And then I told Logan stop that 890 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 3: that that language. Now we can phase it out. And 891 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 3: now the language is watch the Netflix documentary. It is 892 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 3: going to help you to open up the necessary financial 893 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 3: conversation you need to be having at home with the 894 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 3: people that you that you connect with financially, your kids, 895 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 3: your spouse, your partner, whoever. So that's the push now 896 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 3: because beyond because your mom and sister they don't know me, 897 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 3: they don't care. But if you say, mom, we really 898 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 3: need to watch this because we need to have this 899 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 3: financial conversation, that's the reason. So just keep that in 900 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 3: mind that it's okay to beginning that your core people 901 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 3: want to support you, and and certainly with your with 902 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 3: your street team, that's okay. But for the larger audience, 903 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 3: that language has to stop pretty early on and you 904 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 3: have to illustrate the value of the book. That's why 905 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 3: people should get it. 906 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: You know what problems are you helping me with? What 907 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: these points are you solving? Yeah? 908 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 3: But do you see how I illustrated that with the quiz? 909 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 3: You took the quiz you got a twenty. Now I've 910 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 3: identified you have problems. This you twenty percent financial? Oh 911 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 3: what should I do? Don't worry? Here's your checklist and 912 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 3: go get the book. You see what I mean? Within 913 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 3: two seconds, it's like I have a problem, I have 914 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 3: a solution. But do you see like how smart that is, 915 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 3: you know, and so like that's yeah, that's just one 916 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 3: of the things. And no, think about this too as 917 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 3: you have your book. It's a mistake that I almost 918 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 3: made that honestly, hoof. I just I could shiver about it. 919 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 3: I had to. I had my because when you have 920 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 3: when you know, once you get your deal, you were 921 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 3: going to have different phases of edits and drafts. I 922 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 3: was on my final draft, on like second to final draft. 923 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 3: I was talking to my business coach, Zion, and I 924 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 3: was telling him like, I'm so glad, I'm almost done 925 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 3: with this book. I'm so overwhelmed. And he was like, oh, 926 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 3: what is your What did he say? What is your 927 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 3: not call to action? But he basically asked me, in 928 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 3: the book, what are you telling people to go get 929 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 3: from your site or whatever? Oh? 930 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 1: I remember, yes, yes, and I was your website. 931 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 3: Yes. I was like, I don't have it. He was like, Tiffany, 932 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 3: are you freaking kidding me? Like, people are going to 933 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 3: read this book, they're gonna love you, and they're gonna 934 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 3: want more for you. You don't you don't have any toolkit 935 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 3: or anything for them. I was like, I didn't know, 936 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,320 Speaker 3: and he was like I said, but I gave everything 937 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 3: in the book. He said, okay, And because at the 938 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 3: back of the book like get your Money, like there's 939 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 3: like you know, like spreadsheets whatever. He said, that's fine, 940 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 3: that's great, but people are gonna want the digital version 941 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 3: of that, because what if I write in a book, 942 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 3: but I want to give to my sister. Like so 943 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 3: he's like, put all the tools in the in the 944 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 3: from the book into a toolkit, he said, because this 945 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 3: is going to allow you to capture people who read 946 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 3: the book to then join the ecosystem a budget these 947 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,319 Speaker 3: it's like the quiz And I was like, okay, And 948 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 3: tens of thousands of people have joined the email list 949 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 3: because of they literally if you go right now to 950 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 3: get your Money dot com, it says toolkit, and it's 951 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 3: just literally the toolkit because I don't like reading your 952 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 3: book and I can't have access to a thing unless 953 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,280 Speaker 3: I do the toolkit. Now, it's just it's really basically 954 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 3: just the stuff in the book, but now you have 955 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 3: your version of it, you know, because in the book, 956 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 3: I might say here are the tools that I like, 957 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 3: But now I break down the toolkit chapter by chapter, 958 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,919 Speaker 3: so there's links, there's like here's the Excel spreadsheet version, 959 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 3: so you can fill it out yourself all these other things. 960 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 3: But it's just there, and I thought, well, people are 961 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 3: not going to get it because it's in the book. No, 962 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,240 Speaker 3: tens of thousands of people have downloaded the toolkit. Also 963 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 3: to a mistake that I made, I didn't have my 964 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,919 Speaker 3: I didn't have my what is that thing called there's 965 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,240 Speaker 3: another thing on my site my book club kit ready 966 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 3: in time. It took me like two or three months, 967 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 3: and I wish I would have had it sooner. So 968 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 3: because people wanted to do book clubs from the very beginning, 969 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 3: and I didn't have it ready because I forgot and 970 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 3: it took forever to get it done. So certainly thinking 971 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 3: about people are going to want to do a book 972 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 3: club around your book, that's just facts. So creating a 973 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,280 Speaker 3: book club kit so people can download that for free, 974 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 3: and so like if you go to like like I said, 975 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 3: if you go to get good money dot com, there's 976 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 3: a button for a good book club Kit, and when 977 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 3: you click on it, guess what I asked for your 978 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 3: name and your email, Because no matter where you go, 979 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 3: I'm like, connect with me in this way. And so 980 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 3: they download the book club kit they have their book club. 981 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 3: And so one of the things I did for my 982 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 3: book club clip you could do anything, is that you 983 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,360 Speaker 3: obviously you want some question prompts for each chapter. But 984 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 3: then what I did is I took a step further. 985 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 3: Is I taped a really short video so you can 986 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 3: watch because I imagined a dining room table full of sisters, 987 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 3: we gonna do the budget. It's the book club. We're 988 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 3: all doing chapter three. And then they pull up the 989 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 3: book club and then there's a video, you know, a 990 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 3: link and they watch it and I'm like in the 991 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 3: room with you, like hey, I'm like, hey, ladies, it's 992 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 3: me budget. It's a girl. So you're about to reach 993 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 3: chapter three. It's all about credit. I'm not don't go guys. 994 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,319 Speaker 3: Credit can be a lot, but I got you. You're 995 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 3: about to learn this, this, this, and this. I'm proud 996 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 3: of you. And sidebar, did I tell you look cute today? 997 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,399 Speaker 3: Very cute? Okay, anyway, bye. So, like I did these 998 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 3: fun videos because people were asking me to do personalize 999 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 3: videos for their book club, you know, and it just 1000 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 3: got to be overwhelming, and I said, well, what if 1001 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 3: I put the videos in the book club Because I 1002 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 3: get it they want to see me, and I'm like, 1003 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 3: you don't go, I'm gotta do all that, like you know. 1004 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 3: So I have a beginning video. I have a video 1005 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 3: to introduce every chapter, which is like literally one or 1006 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,760 Speaker 3: two minutes. I did it literally right on my laptop. 1007 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 3: I didn't do anything special. I did it like I 1008 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 3: use whatever like that movie thing that we have that 1009 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 3: comes with your Apple, you know, with your Mac. So 1010 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 3: I recorded on my laptop movie exactly. I did iMovie 1011 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 3: recorded on my laptop. And then I didn't even edit 1012 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 3: them like because I mean, they didn't need to be 1013 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 3: edited because I just wanted one or two minutes. And 1014 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 3: then I uploaded it to YouTube as an unlisted video 1015 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 3: so no one can find it but anyone who has 1016 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 3: the link and watch it. And so I just put 1017 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 3: it into YouTube and then I put the YouTube link 1018 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,439 Speaker 3: in the kit as a clickable link, so that way, see, 1019 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 3: I didn't have to do all these techi techie, and 1020 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 3: I made the book Club Kit and even I made 1021 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 3: the book Club Kit in Canva for free, because Canvas 1022 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 3: free unless you like, I think we know, actually we 1023 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 3: use I use like the paid version of Canva. But 1024 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 3: but you don't have to fit you know, but you 1025 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 3: don't have to do I made it exactly exactly. I 1026 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,320 Speaker 3: used to call Brown a vision because we love Canva. 1027 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 3: But I made the kit, the book club kit, and 1028 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 3: the toolkit in Canva so you don't have to do 1029 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 3: all these fancy things. I used YouTube, which is free. 1030 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 3: But you see, like so the owner, you start these 1031 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 3: things so literally as soon as you get wind of 1032 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 3: like what you're thinking about for your book, to start 1033 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 3: to build these things out. I want to say it took. 1034 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 3: It was about a year of a year out from 1035 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 3: the when the book came out. We started to go hard. 1036 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 3: Seven months out and even then it felt like a race. 1037 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:22,800 Speaker 3: So but like a year out of like kind of 1038 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 3: planning and this is and then seven months out of 1039 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,759 Speaker 3: like okay, we started. I started meeting weekly with the 1040 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,279 Speaker 3: team seven months out and so like so people who 1041 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 3: are like, you know, because people will hit me, but 1042 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 3: like Tiffany, my book comes out next month, can you 1043 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 3: tell me what I should be doing? I'm like, what 1044 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 3: can I do? You should be traveling back seven months 1045 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 3: now that there's nothing that you can do, but like 1046 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 3: you know, so I'm glad you're asking now, Like I said, I. 1047 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 1: Want to thank you because go ahead. You didn't just 1048 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,839 Speaker 1: like sorry, I think there's like delay now. But for 1049 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: anyone who wants to say, well, Tiffany already had a 1050 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: big community, so of course her book was a New 1051 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,880 Speaker 1: York Times bestseller. Do you hear how much work Tiffany 1052 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 1: did and her team like, it wasn't and it wasn't 1053 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 1: a given that you were going to have a New 1054 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 1: York Times bestseller. It wasn't easy. It took so much work. 1055 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,399 Speaker 1: So I'm grateful that you are sharing that. It also 1056 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 1: makes me feel I don't know, I just listen. I'm 1057 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 1: not even about that end goal. I'm just trying to think. 1058 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,360 Speaker 1: I just want to be able to say that I 1059 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: did what I could do, you know, like that I 1060 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 1: did what I could do to have a successful launch, 1061 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 1: and that more people can find the book that I 1062 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 1: want to help them because that's what I'm doing it for, right, 1063 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 1: So I know this really became about the book, but 1064 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 1: also so many components of a successful book launch. I'm 1065 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,359 Speaker 1: seeing them overlap with. 1066 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 3: Yes, it's like a launch as a launch of the 1067 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 3: launch of the launch. That's what you'll see. That's what 1068 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 3: I learned because we were uniquely ready ready, ish because 1069 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 3: I had launched the Literature Academy multiple times. The challenges 1070 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 3: I used to do every single year that were free, 1071 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 3: we had launched that. So what I found was we 1072 00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 3: collected all of that knowledge of these launches and then 1073 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 3: added on to it. Because even with launching the Netflix documentary, like, 1074 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 3: we use all the things we did before and then 1075 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 3: we learn new things when it comes to launching like 1076 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,760 Speaker 3: a show, which is different. And so yeah, So the biggest, 1077 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 3: biggest takeaway for anyone to me for a successful business 1078 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 3: is to build the foundation of your community that will 1079 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 3: be there no matter what it is that you're launching. 1080 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,319 Speaker 3: Build that tree business, you know, because you'll be able 1081 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 3: to branch out beautifully and you'll be able to still 1082 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 3: be here if this is almost year fifteen for me 1083 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,799 Speaker 3: and we're still here and still super strong as a 1084 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 3: result of that community built. It also is lots of 1085 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 3: planning and pre work. I don't you know, people just 1086 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 3: think I just dropped the book. No, it was a 1087 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,800 Speaker 3: year before I wrote the book. There was. It was 1088 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,479 Speaker 3: a year's worth of planning, then six months of writing 1089 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 3: the book, then a year of marketing, planning and execution 1090 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 3: before you saw that what you saw. So look out 1091 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,359 Speaker 3: far in advance, so just pre planning, pre planning, pre planning. 1092 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 3: If you're not sure where to start, there's a great 1093 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 3: book called Twelve Week Year. 1094 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: Here talking this book, I ain't go ahead and get it. 1095 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,640 Speaker 3: It's just a very great because it's a really great 1096 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 3: book to help you learn how to plan and execute 1097 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 3: effectively and strategically. So it's just a really great book 1098 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,959 Speaker 3: to do that. So that's it's a great place. But yeah, 1099 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 3: but that's just business in general. Honestly, Like if I 1100 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 3: just really look back at like how are we still here, 1101 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 3: it's just consistency, it's integrity, transparency, and we're or I'm 1102 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 3: always pivoting before need be me and mayde always talking 1103 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 3: about the pre pivot. Don't wait until the market shifts, 1104 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,839 Speaker 3: start to look ahead and say I see some changes coming, 1105 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 3: let me get ready now. So by the time everybody' scrambled, 1106 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 3: you're like, oh, chold, we started that six months ago, 1107 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 3: you know, and so we're just wrapping up the shift. 1108 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 3: So pre pivot, get comfortable. No, don't get comfortable, because 1109 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 3: the market is always going to shift. Pre pivoting and 1110 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 3: and and the newest lesson that I'm learning in business, 1111 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,240 Speaker 3: and I know we got to wrap up is I've 1112 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 3: learned that. I don't say I want to say it's 1113 00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,319 Speaker 3: a mistake, but a shift that I'm making now is 1114 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 3: deep versus wide. So the business, what people have been 1115 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,600 Speaker 3: doing in business now is more and more and more bigger, bigger, bigger. 1116 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 3: I sell chains, chickens, I sell DVD. I sew all 1117 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,200 Speaker 3: the things meaning like, and I did that with the Budgetesta. 1118 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,279 Speaker 3: I had like twenty different things that we were doing 1119 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 3: as Budgetista, and it was making good money, but it 1120 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,760 Speaker 3: was exhausting and it was expensive to make that good money. 1121 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 3: And so now Logan and I who's my core team 1122 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,200 Speaker 3: member alongside of Rose Logan's my content manager, we looked 1123 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 3: at all the things and we chopped it down to 1124 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,279 Speaker 3: about four or five deliverables that we do with Budganista. 1125 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 3: That's it. And then from the four or five, I say, 1126 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 3: I said, what specific things do we need to tweak 1127 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 3: and plug up holes? So for example, you might go 1128 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 3: to my site and download this free thing. Now, in 1129 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,839 Speaker 3: order to download a free thing, we need your name 1130 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 3: in your email because that's a hole to be plugged, 1131 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,879 Speaker 3: because we might get two three thousand people a month 1132 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 3: coming to do that thing and then we lose you 1133 00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 3: forever or you know, we don't mention in a log post. 1134 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,839 Speaker 3: Did you know I have a free Facebook group dream 1135 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 3: Catchers if you're needing additional information, So it's like you 1136 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 3: not even mentioned that. Make sure. So I'm literally looking 1137 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 3: at every little nook and corner of the business and saying, 1138 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 3: how when somebody comes, do I can I contain? Can 1139 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 3: I maintain connection? You know what I mean? And so 1140 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 3: like that's one of the deep things that we're doing. 1141 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 3: And are we sharing along the way? Like you took 1142 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 3: the quiz. Hey there's a book. You got the book. 1143 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 3: Hey there's a this, you have a this. You see 1144 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 3: what I mean? That deep means that we get to 1145 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 3: make two or three times as much with less work 1146 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,879 Speaker 3: because we're doing better work with the four or five 1147 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 3: things that we're doing than doing twenty things for the 1148 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 3: same amount. And so so deep versus consider that because 1149 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 3: you won't scramble as much really looking around your business 1150 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 3: and saying, okay, we do this one thing, but every 1151 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,440 Speaker 3: step along the way, am I taking the opportunity to 1152 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 3: pour into the person that just stepped in? Am I 1153 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 3: taking the opportunity to build a deeper connection? To collect 1154 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,399 Speaker 3: their email, to collect their phone number, to make sure 1155 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 3: they join the group, to make sure they follow me 1156 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,080 Speaker 3: on social Am I taking that opportunity for every single 1157 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 3: vertical that they meet me? If not, then I've literally 1158 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 3: I have a bucket with a hole at the bottom 1159 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 3: and people are leaking through unnecessarily when making those tweaks 1160 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 3: could cost you next to nothing. So I think that's 1161 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,080 Speaker 3: that's if I had to leave you with one big 1162 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 3: tip is deep versus wide. But honestly, when I tell 1163 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,960 Speaker 3: you I love I mean low key, high key. I 1164 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 3: love coaching and business almost as much I love teaching 1165 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 3: financial education, and so you know I love it.

But then also two, it's 1179 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 3: ten bucks because I have other businesses I have to run, 1180 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 3: and you're not gonna stress me out for ten bucks. 1181 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,399 Speaker 3: I will give you a ten bucks back gladly, like, oh, 1182 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 3: you thought you was gonna get a one on one sis, 1183 00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 3: here's your ten dollars because that's one lady told me. 1184 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 3: She's like, wow, I came in here and I thought 1185 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 3: you were gonna do coach me one on one.
