Speaker 1: It's time for the b a q a A to
Speaker 1: b a q A. Would you say the b a
Speaker 1: q A No, Man, Dad to b a q A
Speaker 1: Just Tiffan a Hey, Hey, hey, it's me Tiffany Bunch Denise.
Speaker 1: I'm here on behalf of brown ambition because Man is
Speaker 1: still out. But I am in the still honey, because
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a little brown ambision. Question answer. You
Speaker 1: have questions, I have some answers, but I am not
Speaker 1: your attorney. I'm not your doctor, I am not your
Speaker 1: financial advisor. I'm just a smart, cute brown girl that
Speaker 1: you know knows a thing or two. But you're gonna
Speaker 1: take my advice with the smallest grain of salt, and
Speaker 1: you are going to ask somebody else to take you
Speaker 1: on the finish line. Okay, AKA Sue your grandma, not me.
Speaker 1: All right, So today's b a q A it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a little different. I'm gonna answer like just a
Speaker 1: general question I've been getting about setting intention for the
Speaker 1: new year, and then I'm going to share a business
Speaker 1: answer or a business scenario, a mistake that I made
Speaker 1: and how I've been able to navigate through it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that way you get a little money baqa, you
Speaker 1: get a little business baqa. Okay, So one setting your
Speaker 1: intention for the new year. Right. So we're in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, and it can be very easy to fall
Speaker 1: into the same old habits and we don't want it.
Speaker 1: We don't want it. So in order to have your
Speaker 1: life look different at the end, you have to do
Speaker 1: something differently. So I'd like to do something called dreamscaping. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I made up that word or not,
Speaker 1: but honey, I'm using it. So what is dreamscaping? Dreamscaping
Speaker 1: is when you dream across the landscape of your mind. Right,
Speaker 1: So I want you to think of like your mind
Speaker 1: as this big open field and rolling hills and blue
Speaker 1: skies and clouds, and it's it's like this open expanse
Speaker 1: of space. So I always like to think, like what
Speaker 1: Montana must look like like open, like they call a
Speaker 1: big sky country where all you see is sky and
Speaker 1: flat green land. That is where I want you to
Speaker 1: position your mind. If you're driving, cys focused on driving,
Speaker 1: but if you're sitting or walking or doing dishes or laundry,
Speaker 1: take a moment to close your eyes and imagine this big, open,
Speaker 1: wide space where the sky is blue, the clouds are puffing,
Speaker 1: the grass is green, and it's empty, and you get
Speaker 1: to add whatever you want into this beautiful, expansive space.
Speaker 1: It is important that the space feels expansive. If you
Speaker 1: cannot visualize it, Google is your guru. Go ahead on
Speaker 1: a Google Montana, big sky country, or big open space.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you know that's a visual that doesn't
Speaker 1: help for you. Maybe you need to see the desert,
Speaker 1: maybe you need to see ocean. Whatever feels expansive to you.
Speaker 1: I want you to to visualize that and imagine that,
Speaker 1: and then I want you to start thinking about how
Speaker 1: you just start to fill this space with the things
Speaker 1: that you want to see by the end of the year.
Speaker 1: It is important that sometimes we dreamscape and we say
Speaker 1: what I want in five years or ten years or
Speaker 1: two months. That's great, but we're not doing that now.
Speaker 1: We're talking about how and who do I want to
Speaker 1: be December thirty first, twenty twenty four. That's the person
Speaker 1: we're looking at right now, right so you can use
Speaker 1: this dreamscaping for whatever, but for like for these purposes
Speaker 1: now at the beginning of the year, that's what we're
Speaker 1: looking at. I want you to imagine as you start
Speaker 1: to identify categories in your life, who and how do
Speaker 1: I want to be? So one question you can ask yourself.
Speaker 1: You can get yourself a notebook or like one of
Speaker 1: those those big like poster boards or you know they
Speaker 1: have like you ever see the paper that's like the
Speaker 1: chart paper or whatever, you know, and start to write
Speaker 1: down some categories that you want to add to the
Speaker 1: big expanse of space. So, categories include health, It might
Speaker 1: include partnership or relationships. It might include business or career.
Speaker 1: It might include So I want you to think of big, big, big,
Speaker 1: high level categories. I'm trying to think some of the ones.
Speaker 1: I might include adventure, that's what I have on mind.
Speaker 1: It might include finances, you know, hello hello, Right, So
Speaker 1: I want you to think of anywhere from three to
Speaker 1: six things. You know, if it's more, that's fine because
Speaker 1: we're not here to limit nobody, but at least three
Speaker 1: big expansive categories that you're going to start to fill
Speaker 1: this expansive space with. Right, So you have these things
Speaker 1: written down, you know, you can visualize them. I'm closing
Speaker 1: my eyes as well too, into this big, expansive big
Speaker 1: sky country. And then under each of these categories, I
Speaker 1: start to get a little bit more specific of Okay,
Speaker 1: how do I want to show up in this space
Speaker 1: by December thirty first, twenty twenty four or a year
Speaker 1: from now. So let's just say in the health space,
Speaker 1: for me, it might be like, Okay, in the health space,
Speaker 1: there might be a size I want to maintain, Like
Speaker 1: right now, your girl's a good nine ten, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I like, I think it's cute, you know,
Speaker 1: because I'm a woman of a certain Areas'm forty four
Speaker 1: and so like, you know, a four at least for
Speaker 1: my build is not cute. You know, for your bill
Speaker 1: it might be. But for me, like all through when
Speaker 1: I was younger, I was like a six, and honestly,
Speaker 1: a six for me was really skinny, just because the
Speaker 1: way I'm built, I'm tallest, like five seven, almost five
Speaker 1: to eight. You know, your girl got booty, and so
Speaker 1: at the age I am now, I find that an
Speaker 1: eight is a little too small for how I like
Speaker 1: to present physically. But like a nine ten, it's real cute.
Speaker 1: I look snatched. You know, you guys be compliment to me, like,
Speaker 1: gir you look good. I'm like, I know, I know anyway. Right,
Speaker 1: So for the health component, it might be I want
Speaker 1: to maintain a ten. But also for the health component,
Speaker 1: it might be I want to regularly visit, you know,
Speaker 1: keep my doctor's appointments because your girl ain't been going,
Speaker 1: you know all. So for the health component, I want
Speaker 1: to maintain my walking schedule and bump it up. So
Speaker 1: I started to do the five k training that I
Speaker 1: talked about last year late last year. Thank you guys
Speaker 1: for the app. I'm using the couch to five k app,
Speaker 1: which is awesome, and so like the you know that,
Speaker 1: I want to maintain and maybe even run a five k.
Speaker 1: I want to start strength training again. So these are
Speaker 1: some of the things under my health category. And so
Speaker 1: I'm in that space, I visualize myself what a strength
Speaker 1: strength training look like. I'm walking through the field. I
Speaker 1: see myself in the big expansive space using free rates,
Speaker 1: you know, I see myself in the big expansive place
Speaker 1: like for health for myself too. A friend of mine
Speaker 1: gets like vitamin drips every once in a while, every quarter,
Speaker 1: and she said it makes her feel amazing. And I
Speaker 1: kind of want to try a vitamin drip because I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie your girl don't take a vitamins like
Speaker 1: she should. And I'm like, I wonder if once a quarter,
Speaker 1: because I get sick every fall. It's even if I
Speaker 1: just do it once a year, right before I get
Speaker 1: sick in the fall. What does maybe vitamin C drip?
Speaker 1: What can that? Do? You know? For health? You know?
Speaker 1: Can I get massages more regularly? So these are some
Speaker 1: of the things that are in that I list under
Speaker 1: that category as I think to myself, how do I
Speaker 1: want my life to look by December thirty? First? Who
Speaker 1: do I want to be by December thirty? First? I
Speaker 1: imagine myself in the field doing these things. So that's
Speaker 1: step two, right. So step one is that you want
Speaker 1: to set the categories. Step two you want to start
Speaker 1: to list how you want to look, feel, taste, all
Speaker 1: that in those specific categories. And then step three is
Speaker 1: what does that look like month to month? So I
Speaker 1: start to get more specific. So I have a category
Speaker 1: called relationships, and one of those categories. One of the
Speaker 1: items in that category are friendships. Right, and so like
Speaker 1: that big category of relationships, one of the bullets is friendships.
Speaker 1: I was just talking to my friend Cabrell the other
Speaker 1: day when he's one of my best friends, and Cabrell
Speaker 1: is like this amazing foodie. He's got a great palace.
Speaker 1: Is always like introducing me to like really great restaurants
Speaker 1: and things. And there was a restaurant that was closing down.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh man, this was all my Tiffany Eats list.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what's that? He said, I have a
Speaker 1: list of restaurants Tiffany because we go out to dinner
Speaker 1: or whatever and where it's like, here's a place that
Speaker 1: me and Tiffany can eat. And I thought, huh, how
Speaker 1: can I be more intentional? So I put down under
Speaker 1: so category relationships, bullet point friendship goals, like what it
Speaker 1: looks like monthly is what if on purpose every month
Speaker 1: Coubrella lie on like the third Friday of every month
Speaker 1: we go to a new restaurant on the Tiffany Eats list.
Speaker 1: Because it's one thing to say, like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this thing. I'm gonna spend more time
Speaker 1: with my friends. But now I've gotten very specific, not
Speaker 1: pacific like the ocean. Don't do that. It's a new year.
Speaker 1: Some of you I've been saying Happy New Years with
Speaker 1: an S and it's upset me and my mama. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna take that s right, and we're gonna put
Speaker 1: it on specific right, Okay, come on back right, So
Speaker 1: like now I have it on my list. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is what it looks like. December thirty one. Tiffany is
Speaker 1: someone who goes out to dinner with Cabral on purpose,
Speaker 1: not just really need, like you free, I'm free on
Speaker 1: purpose every third Friday as long as we're both here,
Speaker 1: because he travels a lot to a new restaurant. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I'm excited about that. And so my sisters,
Speaker 1: as you all know because I talk about them all
Speaker 1: the time, most of them live close to me, except
Speaker 1: for Karen, the oldest. She lives in Chicago. And so
Speaker 1: I said, I want to We were supposed to have
Speaker 1: a sister lunch. And so I was like, you know
Speaker 1: what relationships write big category under big category of relationships, family, right,
Speaker 1: that's the bullet and under family sisters. What can I
Speaker 1: do to connect with my sisters more regularly? The kids
Speaker 1: are in school, my sister Carol's kids, So if we
Speaker 1: do a sister lunch once a month, let's add that.
Speaker 1: But do you see how all of a sudden, it
Speaker 1: went from I want my life to be good? What
Speaker 1: does that even mean? What does that mean? You know?
Speaker 1: You start to now in that big expanse of space,
Speaker 1: I see my sisters and I having lunch different places.
Speaker 1: Or maybe here's the thing. Maybe me and my sisters
Speaker 1: we have lunch at the same place every month because
Speaker 1: it's not about exploring new places, it's about sisterly connection. Actually,
Speaker 1: now I'm saying that out loud, I'm like, I think
Speaker 1: I like that because then you become like, oh that
Speaker 1: those are the fabulous girls that come every third Wednesday?
Speaker 1: Or I liked that's cute, right, So maybe my sisters
Speaker 1: and I go to the same place every third Wednesday
Speaker 1: and me and Cabrell choose a different phrase every third Friday.
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? That, like, if you want your
Speaker 1: life to be different, you want to be intentional about
Speaker 1: how you're navigating, and you can't be intentional until you
Speaker 1: get clear. And once you get clear, what does that
Speaker 1: look like in action form? So now I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: creating this list of action form. Now do I believe
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it every single thing? Now? But
Speaker 1: if I have ten action things that I'm gonna do,
Speaker 1: but delightful action things, right, So like having dinner with
Speaker 1: cabrel or lunch my sisters. I mean, we're a crimea river.
Speaker 1: That's not bad, you know. But if the ten things
Speaker 1: I do, three of those things I have effectively transformed
Speaker 1: a part of my life. So December thirty one, Tiffany
Speaker 1: is a different Tiffany than January first, Tiffany. Does that
Speaker 1: make sense? And so that is one of the ways
Speaker 1: I dreamscape and what I suggest for you if you
Speaker 1: you know, it's so early on in the year, it's
Speaker 1: a great time to set intentions, you know. I believe
Speaker 1: that twenty twenty four is a year of intentions. To
Speaker 1: be intentional about how you're going to navigate, to be
Speaker 1: intentional about how you're going to show up. Like for me,
Speaker 1: I have adventure, and my big bullet under adventure is travel.
Speaker 1: So it's not enough to say I'm going to travel more. No,
Speaker 1: I was like, what does that mean? I started to
Speaker 1: list the places I wanted to see South Africa. I've
Speaker 1: always wanted to go. Guess what, I booked a trip
Speaker 1: just the other day. It's South Africa plus South Africa.
Speaker 1: It's like Botswana, South Africa's Namimbia. I think it's like
Speaker 1: four different countries that I'm going to in May with
Speaker 1: this like Black Girl travel group, which I'm so excited about.
Speaker 1: I was on the fence. I'm like, who whoa well,
Speaker 1: you said you wanted travel. You know you got specific.
Speaker 1: You said South Africa. This place is take me to
Speaker 1: South Africa and beyond deal with. I also want to
Speaker 1: see the Northern Lights. I read this study that said
Speaker 1: that the Northern Lights, which are like this beautiful light
Speaker 1: show that happens near like the North Pole. I'm like,
Speaker 1: so Alaska, Norway, Finland, you could see them there. They're
Speaker 1: going to be the strongest they've ever been in the
Speaker 1: next two years. So I want to see them. So
Speaker 1: I wrote that down. I want to see the Northern Lights,
Speaker 1: you know, and I should write that exactly where. So
Speaker 1: but do you see, the more specific you get, you
Speaker 1: can start to check things off. You know, it's hard
Speaker 1: to accomplish the thing that you've been vague about you vague.
Speaker 1: It's vague too, you know. Connectedness is something else on
Speaker 1: my list I've been. I got invited to a mastermind
Speaker 1: in Dubai, and y'all know I don't have a good
Speaker 1: time Dubai. Last time I went, I was like, I
Speaker 1: guess girl, it's a little too manufactured for me. But
Speaker 1: the people go into this mass and I honestly sound awesome.
Speaker 1: And one of my really good friends is going, and
Speaker 1: I was like, Tiffany, are you going for Dubai? Are
Speaker 1: you going for the connectedness on your dreamscaping chart? I
Speaker 1: was like, ooh, that's right, So guess what your girl's
Speaker 1: going to be in Dubai in March to navigate that connectedness.
Speaker 1: And look what happened. When I said yes, I called
Speaker 1: my girlfriend who's going. I was like, hey, girl, I
Speaker 1: heard your senior. You're going to this small Mastermind. It's
Speaker 1: just like eight of us. And a friend of mine
Speaker 1: owns a house in Dubai. She lives there and she's
Speaker 1: hosting us. And she's like yes, and I said, well,
Speaker 1: it's only a two day Mastermind. Girl, I'm not flying
Speaker 1: eighteen hours for two days. Do you want to stay
Speaker 1: in Dubai a little longer? Even though it's not my fave?
Speaker 1: And she was like, actually, after Dubai, I wanted to
Speaker 1: go to Singapore because I've always wanted to go. Do
Speaker 1: you want to go? I was like girl, it was
Speaker 1: to list, It's all my list, Neil. I was like, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'd love to go. That was part of my connectedness.
Speaker 1: I want to connect with more people in the professional
Speaker 1: space where I am and now look what happened when
Speaker 1: I open myself up. So I hope that's some encouragement
Speaker 1: for you. I'm excited about twenty twenty four. As my
Speaker 1: sister Tracy said, it's gonna be a banner honey, a
Speaker 1: banner year. And if you are looking for tools and
Speaker 1: resources to help you with the financial part of your
Speaker 1: of your list, go to like follow my ig the Budgeanista.
Speaker 1: I did the five days of New Year. Literally, I
Speaker 1: have like on the first day of New Year, Budgeanista
Speaker 1: gave to me, so every day for five days, so
Speaker 1: today is the last day, so you should see it.
Speaker 1: But every day for five days I dropped two resources,
Speaker 1: one at noon, one at six pm. And you can
Speaker 1: still get access to all those resources for the next
Speaker 1: you know, I guess I don't know the next few
Speaker 1: weeks or whatever. So go hand on over to at
Speaker 1: the Budgetista. You will see them all labeled the days
Speaker 1: of the new year and the tools and resources you
Speaker 1: need to stay and get on financial track for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. A large part of them, more than half
Speaker 1: of them, are free guy, because you know your girl
Speaker 1: got you. I'm going to take a break and come
Speaker 1: right back with a business life lesson that you could
Speaker 1: take with you into the new year. So we'll be
Speaker 1: back in black and it ever. Honey, bye, and I'm
Speaker 1: back in black and brown. Okay, okay, So okay, we
Speaker 1: started with the good stuff. So I wanted to share
Speaker 1: a lesson that I've learned early on. So I don't
Speaker 1: typically make a ton of mistakes in business because I
Speaker 1: try to operate at the highest possible level. Okay, but
Speaker 1: I made a big mistake. So I had a partnership
Speaker 1: a little while ago with the organization with the company,
Speaker 1: and I trying to say what I have saying all things.
Speaker 1: The way I marketed was not aligned with how they
Speaker 1: show up in business. And it wasn't like I didn't
Speaker 1: do anything like wrong, like you know, you know, but
Speaker 1: I didn't read the room. I'll just say that. And
Speaker 1: I just had a call with them not too long
Speaker 1: ago where they gave me a bit a tongue lashing,
Speaker 1: which I'm not used to because crying honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: when you when you partner with the butcher in Neusta,
Speaker 1: we show up and show out right. So it was
Speaker 1: the first time in fifteen years I didn't get it right.
Speaker 1: And I was so glad that when I got on
Speaker 1: the phone because there was something there was like a
Speaker 1: glitch in the system. So I was calling about the glitch,
Speaker 1: and I was upset about the glitch. But something said,
Speaker 1: I know you're upset about the glitch, Tiffany, but it's
Speaker 1: the new year. We're gonna open pleasant, We're gonna you know,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna We're not gonna come out come in
Speaker 1: hot because of this glitch. And so you know, we
Speaker 1: had to call what I thought was gonna be about
Speaker 1: the glitch. And I'm so glad I didn't come in hot,
Speaker 1: like y'all. Y'all had a glitch. You need that fixing,
Speaker 1: you know, because that was my hoard. But something said, girl,
Speaker 1: we're not doing all that. I just said, hey, seems
Speaker 1: like there was a glitch. Let us know what we
Speaker 1: can do on this end to kind of like work around,
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. Child. They was like, girl, yeah,
Speaker 1: ye about that glitch. You messed up in this way.
Speaker 1: I was like, say what and I did when I
Speaker 1: look back on it, and I'm like, wow, it was
Speaker 1: not intentional. And the first thing I did was I listened.
Speaker 1: I took it, and I said, you're absolutely right. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I see the mistake we made. Here's how we got there.
Speaker 1: Not to excuse it, but here's how we got there.
Speaker 1: I didn't blame anybody on my team, as I assumed
Speaker 1: full responsibility, and I said, here's how that choice was made.
Speaker 1: But looking back on it now, that was not the
Speaker 1: best choice. That's and I said that, and I said
Speaker 1: it was a mistake and it was not intentional, but
Speaker 1: you know, still the damage has been done. What can
Speaker 1: we do? I offered up some solutions about what I
Speaker 1: can do to remedy that, and it went from he
Speaker 1: was like, the person we were navigating with was rightfully
Speaker 1: angry when they first came out. They weren't rude at all,
Speaker 1: but you could feel the tension and it totally diffused.
Speaker 1: And he was like, Okay, you know, thank you for that. Basically,
Speaker 1: and you know what that glitch part. I could see
Speaker 1: our role in that. I mean, that was really kind
Speaker 1: of them to, you know, to to you know, take
Speaker 1: on some of that that was like, you know, a
Speaker 1: peace offering, and we navigated what it's going to look
Speaker 1: like moving forward, and you know, I was embarrassed because
Speaker 1: it wasn't a mistake because you know, in the moment,
Speaker 1: I did have second thoughts, but I was like, no,
Speaker 1: it should be fine. Hey it wasn't fine. Hey it
Speaker 1: was fine, But I am so glad that And so
Speaker 1: my on the team, I had a it was like
Speaker 1: two other women on our team that was on the
Speaker 1: call that were like kind of participated in this part
Speaker 1: of the business. And so the thing that I learned
Speaker 1: is that one, it is so important that even if
Speaker 1: someone has wronged you, like especially in business, to come
Speaker 1: in from a neutral place. It's human to be upset, right,
Speaker 1: but to try your best because one sometimes there's a
Speaker 1: bigger story at play here. And I could have really
Speaker 1: played myself if I was like first of all, second
Speaker 1: of all, third off that you know, but I didn't,
Speaker 1: you know. So one, I've learned that lesson time and
Speaker 1: time again. And honestly, there's a one on my team
Speaker 1: who taught me that, Sylvia, And don't mind shotting her out,
Speaker 1: because Sylvia is excellent. And I remember twice in a row,
Speaker 1: I thought, Sylvia didn't complete a thing, and we use
Speaker 1: this thing called slack, and in slack like you know,
Speaker 1: and like whatever channel that we were navigating, and there's
Speaker 1: other people in this channel. I said, hey, Sylvia, you
Speaker 1: didn't do that thing, and she was like I did.
Speaker 1: She sent me a screenshot of slack and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my bad. So meanwhile, this is in front of
Speaker 1: other people, other company people, and then I did it
Speaker 1: again like the next week, like, hey, Sylvia, I thought,
Speaker 1: I asked you for this thing, and she was like
Speaker 1: this other thing, and she's like I did, and I
Speaker 1: hadn't seen it. And then I realized. I said, you know, publicly, Sylvia,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry because you've done the things and I
Speaker 1: didn't see it, and I'm so sorry. But I thought
Speaker 1: to myself, you know, it's better than being sorry not
Speaker 1: doing it. So it was it was that lesson that
Speaker 1: happened some years ago, and I told myself, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to assume a thing was done intentionally wrong or
Speaker 1: not done that. I'm going to ask more neutral questions
Speaker 1: like hey, Sylvia or whoever, can you give me an
Speaker 1: update on the thing do you see because then she
Speaker 1: could have been like, oh, yeah, it was done. Here's
Speaker 1: the screenshot. I'm like, oh, okay. Then I'm like, oh, child,
Speaker 1: I thought she didn't do it. I was wrong, But
Speaker 1: I didn't come at her that way because the truth
Speaker 1: of the matter is, let's just say she didn't do it.
Speaker 1: Like it's not my intention to shame her in front
Speaker 1: of the other team, but it could have been that.
Speaker 1: And now I look stupid because I'm asking you about
Speaker 1: it in front of everybody, and you did it, you know.
Speaker 1: So that was a huge lesson I learned from Sylvia,
Speaker 1: you know, and navigating with her, because I've since apologized
Speaker 1: because I believe in that I'm sharing this with you
Speaker 1: because I don't show up perfectly. I just show up
Speaker 1: the best I can and always navigating to do and
Speaker 1: be better. But I learned that navigating with Sylvia those
Speaker 1: two weeks that like, I don't know, you know, if
Speaker 1: the thing was done right or not. So even if
Speaker 1: it seems so obvious that I am right, come in
Speaker 1: neutrally and let the situation unfold itself, and then if
Speaker 1: it turns out they didn't do it, then certainly we
Speaker 1: could navigate from that space, you know, so you know,
Speaker 1: that was one of the things I did with this
Speaker 1: you know, partner, and so I could tell that they
Speaker 1: were because when I tell you, it diffused all the
Speaker 1: way down and went from like I could tell it
Speaker 1: was like it's about to be over, we ain't partner
Speaker 1: no more, la la la la, to we really would
Speaker 1: still like to work with you. I understand how we
Speaker 1: got here. Thank you for your apology. Let's move forward.
Speaker 1: So I felt really good. I mean, I'm still a
Speaker 1: little bit embarrassed by because because I hate making mistakes
Speaker 1: like that, but it is, these things happen, and all
Speaker 1: you can do is to try your best is to apologize.
Speaker 1: And if they would have said we don't want to
Speaker 1: work with you anymore, I just would have eaten it
Speaker 1: and been like I can I totally understand, you know,
Speaker 1: because what else can I do? And so like I'm
Speaker 1: sharing that lesson of like, you know, mistakes that I
Speaker 1: continue to make as I navigate. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: care how long you've been in business, mistakes are made
Speaker 1: all the time. As I share that to be transparent
Speaker 1: that like you know that even when mistakes are made,
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly this one worked out because you know,
Speaker 1: they still want to work with us, but they could
Speaker 1: have easily said I'm not going to and then all
Speaker 1: we could have done is take the lesson, you know.
Speaker 1: And I made sure afterwards to have a recap with
Speaker 1: the team to say, what are the lessons we learned.
Speaker 1: We started off with neutral questioning, so thankfully we didn't
Speaker 1: have to backpedal and be like, okay, you were right,
Speaker 1: I said too. We apologize right away as soon as
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people after getting kind of
Speaker 1: like a tongue lashing, like I said, he didn't yell
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but after getting a tongue lashing
Speaker 1: rightfully deserved, would have been defensive. I made sure to
Speaker 1: have no defensiveness in my voice, in my posture anything.
Speaker 1: I took the tongue lashing, and I apologized right away
Speaker 1: and said what does it look like to make amends?
Speaker 1: And you know, and then I didn't just say that.
Speaker 1: I made some suggestions which they were like we like this,
Speaker 1: we like that, and then you know, we just we
Speaker 1: wrapped and as a result, you know, we still have
Speaker 1: a partner. So I just you know, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to share that with you that, like, you know, as
Speaker 1: you navigate into the new year. You know, it's not
Speaker 1: about being perfect, whether we're talking about business, we're talking
Speaker 1: about your personal finances. It's about just doing and being better.
Speaker 1: You know. I aim always to if a mistake is made,
Speaker 1: to learn from it, to grow from it, to show
Speaker 1: a better That's it. That's all I can ask of
Speaker 1: myself and all anyone can ask of me. Well, Happy
