How do I stay 37 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: on track for the year? Who has that question? Raise 38 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: your hand? Raise your hand, right? I know I have 39 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: that question sometimes and so I have found a system, 40 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: if you will, that allows me to stay on relative 41 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: financial track for the year. Want to hear it? Hear it? 42 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: Go first things first, you do have to kind of identify. 43 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily do resolutions, but I do try to 44 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: identify what goals financial goals I'd like to meet by 45 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: the end of the year. But this is what I 46 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: ask myself. I say, Tiffany, January one, Tiffany, what would 47 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: you like January thirty one Tiffany to look like? Where 48 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: would you like for her to say? Ooh cha, I 49 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: went on these trips? What would you like her to 50 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: be wearing? You know, I was just looking at a 51 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: pair of Jordan's today, these Jordan Ones. I love the 52 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: Jordan Ones. They were raid and black and white. I 53 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: want her to be wearing those, right? What you know? 54 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: What is she a last girl? Because you see, I 55 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: got me a little last one right now? Does she 56 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: still have those? Okay? Has she finally moved into her 57 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: condo she's been renovating forever. Has she eaten at certain 58 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: restaurants la la? Has she spent time with people she 59 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: wanted to spend time with? What does January thirty one 60 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: Tiffany look like? And then infuse financially what does that 61 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: mean for her or him? Right? Or they? Then? Right? 62 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: What does that mean? Because this is more powerful than 63 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: a resolution because of the resolution is like, I'm gonna 64 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: fix my credit. That's great. What does that actually mean. 65 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm literally envisioning myself December thirty first, you know, not 66 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: outside because Child is ghetto on New Year's Eve and 67 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: dangerous the December thirty first, reflecting on my year that's passed, 68 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: and I I'm gonna actually because if you know me, 69 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: you know I'm always cutting my locks, and I've cut 70 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: them to the chin, I've cut them short. But for 71 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: one thing, I'm like Child, I'm actually gonna let my 72 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: locks grow. So I imagine it's already like at Brawlink and 73 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: so I imagine they'll be like mid back and your 74 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: girl's gonna be a mermaid. I also think I'm gonna 75 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: keep the lashes up. I will have traveled. I know 76 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: for a fact, I'm going to Africa. I'm going to 77 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: go to Johannesburg and a few surrounding countries. Literally tomorrow 78 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: I leave for Puerto Rico with my sister am. I 79 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: just got back from South Carolina. Y'all never told me 80 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: about the sea islands Gullah Gulla. It was so freaking beautiful. 81 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: I was right on the Atlantic Ocean. It was moving 82 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: right so that's happening. My sisters just started taking pilates classes. 83 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: It's forty dollars a class. I'm considering it. But do 84 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: you see, like as I imagine January December thirty one, Tiffany, 85 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: like I'm looking at her holistically and then I'm attaching 86 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: the financial goals to that holistic life. Does that make sense? Right? Like? 87 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: What do I want for her? I want to have travel, 88 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: you know, I don't necessarily want to lose weight, but 89 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: certainly I would like my body to be tighter, a 90 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: little more snatched to the wakes. Okay, because I'm bringing 91 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: in forty five, I want to be given forty five 92 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: grown woman energy, but the body of thirty maybe not 93 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: thirty because thirty I was too skinny. Thirty five thirty seven, No, 94 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: just tighter than what I am now. I still give 95 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: it key though, R. But I literally am asking myself, 96 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: how do I want to show up on the last 97 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: day of the year, and what does that look like? 98 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: What I have to do now? And how does that 99 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: tie into my financial life? Is there money that I 100 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: have to save? Are there trips that I have to book? 101 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: Maybe I need to lean in, Like literally, I'm going 102 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: to Dubai in February. Your girls outside outside here go 103 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: catch this city. My trips in the month of January 104 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: and South Carolina.

Your girl is what outside? 136 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: So as I think of December thirty one, Tiffany, she 137 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: has been well traveled, right, I didn't even talk about 138 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: May when I go to Africa, when I go to 139 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: Johannesburg and the surrounding countries, right, I even book all 140 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: the other things I plan on doing. Okay, But in 141 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: order to do that, I am currently looking at one 142 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: my finances two points. I'm literally like, I was watching 143 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: YouTube videos today about the best way to medeem points 144 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: because I got a lot of ANX points, a lot 145 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: of United Airline points, some Chase Venture Card points, and 146 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: so but do you see that? Like, I don't want 147 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: you to think of your December thirty first self just 148 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: from a financial place. I want you to think of like, 149 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: how will you show up holistically and then match your 150 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: money to that. That's how you stick to the quote 151 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: unquote resolutions. Because resolutions are dry, honey and ashy. But 152 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: if you make them about your holistic, wonderful life, then 153 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: you say, hey, money, catch up. I need you to 154 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: do this, honey. I need you to give this. We 155 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: need to give savings, we need to give pay down 156 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: this credit card debt, we need to give maximize these points. 157 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: Do you see? Do you see? Do you see? We 158 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: need to give strong credit score? And so that's what 159 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: I do first and foremost in order to stick to 160 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: my quote unquote resolutions is that I make it about 161 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: a bigger life, not just about the money, and then 162 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: I match the money to the life. I don't try 163 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: to match my life to the money. That's one. Then two. 164 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: One of the things I do is I look for help. 165 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: I look to you.

Okay, 179 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: So so I'm always looking for help. So in my 180 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: years of living, I have learned the fastest way to 181 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: get from where you are to where you want to 182 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: be is typically through someone else. Because, girl, why we 183 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: learn a new lessons when the lessons have been learned 184 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: and written about and podcast about and blogged about. Okay, 185 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: So for example, I'm like, Hey, I've never flown Emirates 186 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: or Qatar, and I've heard they're really beautiful, and I 187 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: want to fly like to when I go to Dubai. 188 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: I want to have that luxury experience business or first class, 189 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: that luxury experience. I mean, I've flowed obviously first class 190 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: and this is before, but those are supposed to be 191 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: very high upscale airlines.

Why should you learn from scratch? That's why 197 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: you're here listening to about ambition. If you want to 198 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: do anything that has anything to do with financial wholeness, 199 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: that's budgeting, savings, debt, credit, income, investing for both retirement 200 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: and wealth, your net worth, insurance, your financial team, and 201 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: estate planning, any of those ten things. Child, That's why 202 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: I wrote the book Made Whole. It's the workbook version 203 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: of good with Money, right, and so looking for guidance 204 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: do not do it alone. Money is a team sport. 205 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: So finding people, tools and resources to help you get 206 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: to the goal, the financial goal that you need to 207 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: live the life that your January thirty first self is 208 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: like I did that?

Get you a partner. 213 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: When I used to teach free school, we would always 214 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: tell the kids hold your partner's hand. Right, you would 215 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: have to hold your partner's hand because if you was missing, 216 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: one of these kids is gonna be like, my partner's missing, 217 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: And I could be like Joahim, where are you, sir? 218 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Why are you always behind? Right? So get yourself a partner. 219 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: I love an accountability partner. So that's like a little friend. 220 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: Friend that's going to walk you through well, that will 221 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: walk with you on your journey. They don't have to 222 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: know personal finance, but they're there to cheer you on 223 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: and hold you accountable and support you and share their 224 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: goals too. Right. But then you find somebody that's done 225 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: the thing you're wanting to do. Like, I don't know everything. 226 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: I lean into my financial advisor Angelie for certain things. 227 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: I lean into my my peers. You hear me talk 228 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: about Cabrella a lot. He's one of my business peers 229 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: that I bounce things off of. My friend Brandess of HFR, 230 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: I bounce things off of her. I lean into my 231 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: mentors Lynett, Cole, Boddy Cox, Sondra Davis of what is 232 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: it Stage Financial Right, and so like, these are my mentors. 233 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: And so I am quick to raise my hand and 234 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: say I need help. Let's get good at that. I 235 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: need help. I don't know, And it's okay finding those 236 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: people that are doing the thing you're wanting to do 237 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: and then following their lead. Some people you'll know personally 238 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: and some people just follow digitally. That's fine, okay. So 239 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: if you want the book, honey, go ahead and made 240 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: whole workbook can certainly help me with the financial part. 241 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: So that's the second part and the third part of 242 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: keeping these financial resolutions is building a community around you. 243 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: We work best in community. So when I said, like 244 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: looking for guidance, that's typically a person or a number 245 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: of people that have achieved the thing but the community 246 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: around you are like your family, your friends, your work friends, 247 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: your work husband whoever, your partner, your children, building this 248 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: community around you and sharing the things you're wanting to do, 249 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: you know. So for example, I was telling my sisters 250 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: I want us to go on a sister lunch date 251 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: once a month. So one, that's still a financial choice. 252 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: How much does that cost? How do we set that side? 253 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: Maybe we have like a sister account where, like you know, 254 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: the money goes there so that when when we pay, 255 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: we're just paying with one bill, but we've all contributed 256 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: to say like fifty bucks a month. I don't know, 257 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: child right, I was just thinking that. I was like, okay, 258 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: I want by December thirty. First that Tiffany says, like, 259 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I had, Like I mean, I hang 260 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: out my sisters all the time, but I intentionally had 261 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: at least twelve sister lunch dates with my sisters this year. 262 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: My friend Cabrell, who's one of my besties. Cabrel is 263 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: definitely my fancy friend, and he has a list of 264 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: places that he like. Cabrel's a foody, so he has 265 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: this list called Tiffany Eats. So we will go and 266 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: like to this really nice restaurant and eat good, honey, 267 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: because leave it up to me. Your girl doesn't have 268 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: a sophisticated pallet, at least not at first. But Cabrell 269 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: be like, girl, we're not eating there. Get yourself together, 270 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: like and so we have these amazing places that Cabrell, 271 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, how did you find this place? So I 272 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: told Cabrell, Yo, I wanted on the calendar once a month, 273 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: on the calendar, like every third Thursday of the month 274 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: that we go out to dinner, or we choose a 275 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: place off the Tiffany Eats list because you are liabily 276 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: to get you are liable to get in the car 277 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: with Cabrel end up in Delaware and we live in 278 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: New Jersey. Hate don't mind driving. You're like, well, where 279 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: we going to eat today? I was taking Rhode Island. 280 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: You're like, what. But it's always fabulous, it's always fun, 281 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: it's always a time, honey. But that's also a financial 282 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: choice because how much does that cost? What does that 283 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: look like? Because we take it, we take turns treating 284 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: each other like I pay for one dinner, he picks 285 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: for the next dinner. So what does that look like? 286 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: You know? And so, but creating a community around you 287 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: to share. I want to do this thing. I have 288 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: something called Sunday Supper that I try to do. We 289 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: used to do a monthly, but now I'm trying to 290 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: do at least every other month. These are my family, 291 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: my friends, my neighbors. I invite them to the house. 292 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: I hire this amazing cook, chef Nishe that used to 293 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: cook for Jirella and I when he was here, and 294 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: Nisha will make food for Sunday Supper. And it's just 295 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: literally like a mini Thanksgiving every other month. But that cost? 296 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: What does that look like? You know? So these are 297 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: the things like you know, but as I have a 298 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: Sunday Supper group chat and we'll talk through it. Because 299 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: building community around your hopes, goals and dreams hold you 300 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: more accountable. So those are three things that will really 301 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: help you to make your financial resolution stick. Is that 302 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: you have to make it bigger than the resolution. One right, 303 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: just for recap, because you know, I'm a teacher. Plan 304 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: do review one right, identify your December thirty first self 305 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: and what they want holistically and match the money to that. Two, 306 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: get you some help, a guide whether it's made whole. 307 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: My new book whether it's this podcast someone or a 308 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: collection of someone that have accomplished the thing you want 309 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: to accomplish, Let them help you through it, whether it's 310 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: digitally or in person or whatever. And then three builds 311 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: community around that life you want to live, that goal 312 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: you want, and so they can hold you accountable and 313 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: you can keep them updated on your progress. Okay, Well, 314 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: hopefully that's a helpful child, because when we check in 315 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: December thirty, first, honey, I want to be like I 316 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: went here, I did this, I did Oh child to 317 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: be a time I can already tell.

I'm 333 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: back and blacker than ever. First of all, if you're 334 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: watching on YouTube, I'm not gonna lie. I'm loving this lip. 335 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: This is a combo. The problem with me is this 336 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: is my toxic trait. I will put together a lip 337 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: with like a mix of like you know, like I 338 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: use like a macliner. I couldn't tell you the name 339 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: I use. It was a lip bar, which is a 340 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: black on brand Hay Melissa Butler black on bland lip. 341 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: I don't even know what they call. Not that it's 342 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: not a lip gloss. It's not a lipstick child whatever 343 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: you know, lip color. And then I added some like 344 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: I don't know an N y X like in the middle. 345 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: I'm loving this color. But asked me to recreate it. 346 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: I can't because I forgot which ones I use. Anyway, 347 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: So get into the lip color, come feeling myself. So 348 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: we're back, right, for ba QA, and we're gonna do 349 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: a business question for the second half. How do you 350 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: plan to have a cause y'all know that one I mentor, 351 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: the girl is in business, and some of the guys, 352 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: Guy Lese. I've got about four thousand mentors over at 353 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: my men Tour Tiffany dot com. It's like twenty bucks 354 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: a month. We have a live session every month and 355 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: you do a live session with just the mentees, and 356 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: then we're also gonna be doing a live working session 357 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: once a month, so you get three live sessions a month, 358 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: and then all these tools and resources. Every Thursday, I 359 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: share a tool or resource that has helped my business 360 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: explode or at least stay alive. It's always awesome, sauce. 361 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: It's my mentor Tiffany dot com, and we use this 362 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: platform called Patreon. So there's a question that has come 363 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: up because twenty twenty three was hard for so many businesses, 364 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: so so many businesses, including my own. I had a 365 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: rough year, you know, like I probably made like one 366 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: third of what we used to make, Like and even 367 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: the budgeonista like this is how bad the year was. 368 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: Today I'm taking on Tuesday. Today is taxes Day, Like 369 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: if you have a big enough business, you're supposed to 370 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: pay taxes quarterly. So today is the quarterly tax payment 371 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: that's due for the end of the year, the end 372 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three, even though it's twenty twenty four, 373 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: you pay it in January. So I hit up my CFO. 374 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: I was a girl because usually she will send me 375 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: the tax money because I have an LLC as corp, 376 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: which means that the it's a pass through business. When 377 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: you have an LLC, that means that although you have 378 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: a business, the tax passes through to the individual, which 379 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: I am the individual, which means when taxes are due, 380 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: Tiffany has to pay taxes. So but I get my 381 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: tax money from my business. So if I owe thirty 382 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: thousand dollars this quarter, the business will give me the 383 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: thirty and I give it to the government, the state 384 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: and the federal government. So I was like, well, dang, 385 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: this is odd because George, my CFO, is usually on it. 386 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: So I messaged her, like, girl, you didn't give me 387 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: my tax money for the budgetista girl? The girl said, 388 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: what we made is what we spent. Girl, we ain't 389 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: make no money. I'll say, say, what, ah right. So 390 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: normally you pay taxes in a business on what's left over. 391 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: So let's just say you made a million dollars now, 392 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: but she spent a million. Ooh, you really supposed to 393 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: pay tax on what's left over. There's nothing left over, 394 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: so you don't pay taxes. If you made a million 395 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: and you spend five hundred thousand, then you're going to 396 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: pay taxes on the five hundred thousand. What we made 397 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: is basically what we spent, because I did pay taxes 398 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: throughout the year quarterly, but she basically like girl, we 399 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: was like net net even aka, we didn't really make 400 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: no money, you know, like I mean, of course, we 401 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: made enough to pay bills and pay my salary and 402 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: pay the salaries of other employees and things like that. 403 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: But usually this excess and I usually get a big 404 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: old tax bill, even quarterly. Typically my tax bill quarterly. 405 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's supports of six figures for the quarter. I said, damn, 406 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: it was a beatty honey, so much so that we 407 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 1: started off with six months worth of emergency savings, and 408 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: by December we were down to one month because we 409 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: lived off our savings. So I'm just sharing this candidly 410 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: because every year and cute but you live to see 411 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: another day if you smart. So how do you maximize 412 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four if you do have a business, okay, 413 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: gather around children. One that if you do have a 414 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: banner year in twenty twenty four, which I'm claiming it, 415 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: because we already started off strong, like the Bunjanista has 416 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: already made like it's the money it needs for six months, 417 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: which is great. But I know this, and so I 418 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: inherently trying to refill our emergency savings because for the 419 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: first time we leaned on it so heavily. We've never 420 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: done that before. But during twenty twenty, when the pandemic 421 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: was making all the businesses all juicy and good, I said, girl, 422 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: you made ten million dollars this year. That's cute. But 423 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: guess what, I suspect that this is going to be 424 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: a great year, which means a not so great year 425 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: might be coming. Twenty twenty best year ever, twenty twenty three, 426 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: worst year ever. Thankfully, I understood that twenty twenty twenties 427 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: earnings were supposed to also pay for when the worst 428 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: year came. So I had the six months of emergency 429 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: savings of operating expenses and operating expenses, meaning payroll, like 430 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: any kind of like you know, like any kind of bills, 431 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: like you know you have Facebook ads, you know, we 432 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: have like website, platforms, domain, all the stuff it costs, 433 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: it costs to run of business. And so we had 434 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: six months of that saved. So if you happen to 435 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: have a good year, I say, you want to have 436 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: ideally about six months saved or more in business. You know, 437 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: I only knew to do that because about God's great. 438 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: So during the pandemic, we had that, like I said, 439 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: our banner year where we made over ten million dollars 440 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: or about ten million dollars in business, right, yeah, ten million, right, 441 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: And it was like, you know, we had a lot 442 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: of profit. It wasn't like we made ten We spent ten. 443 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: And I remember reading in that year that Microsoft had 444 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: one year's worth of operating expenses saved. And I said, huh. 445 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: Because your girl likes to read, here's the thing about 446 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: business and just life and growth. You need to take 447 00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: a look. It's in a book. It's reading rainboo. Go 448 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: ahead on and get your read on. You know, even 449 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: if it's audible, I don't care what it is. Read. 450 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: The information is there. So I'd read this article and 451 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: it said, hey, you know, although, like you know, business 452 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: is booming for so many people, Microsoft has decided to 453 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: save one year's worth of operating expenses just to see 454 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: because they weren't sure how the pandemic was going to 455 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: play out. And I said, well, then, if Microsoft is 456 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: saving a year, how much do we have saved? I 457 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: had never really checked, and I knew we had emergency savings, 458 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: but it wasn't a priority because things was good. So 459 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: I reached out to my CFO, Shanta at the time. 460 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: I said, girl, how much do we have saved? She 461 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: said like two and a half months. I said that 462 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: feels light, and she was like yeah, because we had 463 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: never really needed, like in fifteen years. By then it 464 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: was like thirteen years. We had never really need to 465 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: dip into emergency savings maybe like a month and then 466 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: put it right back. And I said, I feel like 467 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: I want to get to a year, and she said okay, 468 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: and so we aggressively started saving when things were really good, 469 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: and we got to six months and I felt like, actually, 470 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: six months feels good because a year feels a little excessive. 471 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: Thank good because three years later, a guess who was 472 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: living off that lamb okay, And so I just say 473 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: all that to say that in twenty twenty four, if 474 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: you do have a good year and you have a 475 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: business set aside, like ask yourself or your bookkeeper or 476 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: your accounting or whoever's managing your finances, how much does 477 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: my company cost me to run monthly and make it 478 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: your business to work toward getting to at least six 479 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: months of emergency savings. Okay, you might not need it 480 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: in a year, two years, four years, but one day 481 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna need it. And I know so many of 482 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: my friends small businesses closed down in twenty twenty three 483 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: because they did not have the backup. You know, thank 484 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: god we had the backup. Or I had friends that literally, 485 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: Like I had a friend I was talking to the 486 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: other day. She took the money from her personal account, 487 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: from her retirement account to save the business, you know, 488 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: because she didn't have the backup. I would have done 489 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: that too. Like, let's just say the Budgeaniessa had such 490 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: a bad year, we had no savings. Tiffany has money, 491 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: and Tiffany could have let the budgeaniese to money. But 492 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: who want to do that? Because if I take money 493 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: out of my investment accounts. Meanwhile, the market rallied the 494 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: last quarter of the year, so I would have missed 495 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: out on that earning, but I didn't because your girl 496 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: was what ready? Okay, So one that you know, if 497 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: you have a bandoned year, you want to see yourself 498 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: through for twenty twenty four. In business, make sure that 499 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: you set aside money for emergencies. Okay, that's one. Two. 500 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: I believe that there is a shift happening that people 501 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: are wanting to engage in person. So if you have 502 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: a business, ask yourself, how can you create a more 503 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: hybrid approach? Because everyone has been digital, digital, social, social, social, 504 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, But the thing is social is passive engagement. Right, 505 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: So if I tell you on social media sign up 506 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: for a thing, let's just say one or two percent 507 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: might sign up. But if you are in person with me, 508 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: sitting in a room, and I say, everybody, whip out 509 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: your phones, who are all gonna sign up for this thing? Now, 510 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you increase to sixty seventy percent. 511 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: And I have just been really contemplating on this because 512 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: I'm seeing that less and less the engagement is yielding 513 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: less and less results. Like digital engagement, and that if 514 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: you're not integrating some sort of interpersonal, in person component 515 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: to your business in your community, if you're building community 516 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: in business, which you ought to, then you might miss 517 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: out because there is this pendulum swing and people are 518 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: exhausted and lonely by digital only. I'm gonna say that 519 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: again because I was a bar. People are exhausted and 520 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: lonely by digital only, and so just consider that, Like, 521 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: that's why I started to do wealth walks. If you're 522 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: one of my Patreon members for my mentor Tiffany dot 523 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: com where I mentor, I said, we have about four 524 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: thousand mentees right there right started last year, we did 525 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: about seven mente dinners where if I had a speaking engagement, 526 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: I would say, hey, I'm going to be in Dallas 527 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: or DC or atlant or whatever, and I would invite. 528 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: I would have an open invitation and I'd say we 529 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: can max out about twenty people because that's what the 530 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: restaurant would allow without trying to charge it some sort 531 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: of like event fee. So we would meet up and 532 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: it made it really powerful because I noticed that the 533 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: churn rate for the mentees. Just business speak, churn is 534 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: the amount of people that you lose monthly if you 535 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: have a subscription. Right. Sometimes people leave because they don't 536 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: like the service. Sometimes people leave because they're not using it. 537 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes people leave because their credit card just got declined. Whatever. Right, 538 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: so churn, So I'll give you an example. Like last 539 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: time I check, I think it was Spotify had a 540 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: churn rate about nine ten percent, meaning that every month 541 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: about ten percent of people leave, right, And so my 542 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: churn rate at Patreon was so low it was like 543 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: under three percent, meaning people were coming and staying, and 544 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: three percent was more or less people whose credit cards 545 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: just got declined and we could just tap them on 546 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: the shoulder. Why were people staying and saying? I love 547 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: being Tiffany's mentee because I think in large part because 548 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: there was this connection in person. I did about seven meetups, 549 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: so seven times twenty people. Don't give me the line? 550 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: What is that? One hundred and forty people? Eh, you know, 551 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: I'm over here trying to take out my calculator. Child, ooh, 552 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: my Ramin is here, child, We're about to wrap up. 553 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: Seven times twenty people. One hundred and forty people, yes, 554 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty people, right plus right, But so 555 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: it's not just that because the people the energy that 556 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: you build when people are in person. They then go 557 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: back to the group and say, because we have like 558 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: I said, we have a monthly meetup where you guys 559 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: can see each other for that's part of being my mentee, 560 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: and the mentees kind of like network every month together. 561 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: And then we have a monthly lesson with me that 562 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: I teach a live and then you guys are going 563 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: to start to have a working session every month too. 564 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: So anyway, now the girls in those sessions be like chih, 565 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: I met Tiffy last week. It was amazing, and you 566 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: know what I learned. You now have these like amazing 567 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: cheerleaders who are like they advocate for you, like, no, 568 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: not my tify, don't talk about my budgetista, you know. 569 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: And so I am exploring that more about because I've 570 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: gotten really good at building community, but I want to 571 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: make sure that I'm providing enough in person interaction for community. 572 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: So I suggest you do the same ease and then, last, 573 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: but not least, this is something that I'm going to 574 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: be exploring more and more for twenty twenty four. Is 575 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: so I went to I told you, I went to 576 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: the conference in South Carolina, the Healthy Wealthy Wives Conference 577 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: by Karen Hunter, who's amazing.

The ticket to go to Healthy Wealthy Wives 599 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: was about twenty one hundred dollars. Right. That doesn't include 600 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: your flight because she can't pay for your flight, So 601 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: twenty one hundred dollars right time, she had about like 602 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty people there.

And a light bulb went on that 632 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: Karen has done this excellent job of not trying to 633 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: get more congregation members. Instead she has turned around and 634 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: she preaches to the choir. I'm gonna let that so again. 635 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes in business, we are so busy trying to get 636 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: new customers that we are not taking amazing care of 637 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: our current existing customers.
