Building 147 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 8: wealth is not easy. Taking yourself from zero to a 148 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 8: lot more is not an easy journey.

Is that 155 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 5: something that that you're naturally born with or is it 156 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 5: something that's developed. And I wondered because I remember, right, 157 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 5: it's one of these things. When I was younger, I 158 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 5: used to write the stories that I'd say, mom of 159 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 5: a bodeo a mansion one day, and she kept the 160 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 5: stories like, well, joy was my mansion? 161 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 9: Wait? I mentioned that time to pay the piper. 162 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 5: Right, So I wanted to I mean, obviously that was 163 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 5: in my mind at that time when I was a 164 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 5: young child. But I'm wondering, from your journey and being 165 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 5: around your community, is that something that you see that 166 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 5: is inherently a part of a person's characteristic or is 167 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 5: that something that's developed. 168 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 8: I think a millionaire mindset is developed, and I think 169 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 8: it keeps being developed, right, like even now. What has 170 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 8: made me so proud of this conference too, is that 171 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 8: the speakers are changing their flights and sticking around. 172 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 9: A lot of speakers dip in and out. 173 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 8: They're like, oh no, no, no, no, no, I'm staying here. 174 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 8: I'm a hangout right. That makes me so proud. And 175 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 8: the reason why I mentioned that is because even when 176 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 8: we're far, even when we have New York Times bestselling 177 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 8: books and we have eight figure businesses, there's still so 178 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 8: much to learn, right, There's still so much to accomplish 179 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 8: and to do, and you never stop learning. So I 180 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 8: think you're always working on that millionaire mindset. But I 181 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 8: also know that having to go to the grocery store 182 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 8: with food stamps and having the you know, con ned 183 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 8: come to my door and turn off the lights and 184 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 8: all of the stuff that came with that got me 185 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 8: very focused on money at a very early age. So 186 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 8: I was always curious, like, how are people making money? 187 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 8: And I tell the story in my book about how 188 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 8: I used to babysit for this little girl named Alana 189 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 8: It was a Jewish family. They were so sweet, and 190 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 8: it was in Douglaston and I grew up in Flushing. 191 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 8: Queen's right, Douglaston is a much nicer neighborhood. And I 192 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 8: would take the bus over there and it was like 193 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,119 Speaker 8: tree lined streets and it was you know, big houses. 194 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 9: There was three of them. 195 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 8: It was you know, mom, dad, and Alana in this 196 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 8: giant house that had so many rooms. 197 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 9: I was like, what are you doing with all these rooms? 198 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 9: What is this room? It was a formal dining room 199 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 9: I had. I was like, what is that. I've never 200 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 9: seen a formal dining room before, you know what I mean. 201 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 8: And I would open their pantry to like make her 202 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 8: a snack and it was like so many options. 203 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 9: I was like, Wow, one day, I'm gonna be able 204 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 9: to get those frozen waffles that. 205 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 8: My mom always says no, always those little things, right, 206 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 8: Like what was it like you wanted. 207 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 9: Cocoa puffs and you couldn't get the coco puffs? 208 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 8: Your mom said no because I don't have the money. 209 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 8: It's like, but I would see that and her father 210 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 8: worked from home and the mom would be at work 211 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 8: and I'd be like, what do these people do for 212 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 8: a living, and I would ask, you know, I was 213 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 8: always trying to be a detective, like people who have money, 214 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 8: how did they get it? Because I just had no idea. 215 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 8: I couldn't fathom, like how do they have so much? 216 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 8: And so learning that like that's what I think got 217 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 8: me to focus on money is the fact that we 218 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 8: didn't have any right if we would have been very comfortable, 219 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 8: I don't think it would have been a priority to me. 220 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 5: You think that inquisitive nature helped shape your career path 221 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 5: because of no times in our communities we see a 222 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 5: few avenues of where we can make money, right usually 223 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 5: in art, so performing or entertainment. But the fact that 224 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 5: you were inquisitive and trying to find out how other 225 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 5: people were making money, did that help in the way 226 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 5: you were choosing the way you were going to go 227 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 5: with your career. 228 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 8: Yes, And honestly I didn't really know. I know that 229 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 8: as a kid, like I didn't know. I saw performers, 230 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 8: black performers, I saw black athletes, but really nobody from 231 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 8: my neighborhood was becoming an R and B singer or 232 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 8: a basketball player right like they might have had hopes 233 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 8: and dreams, but I wasn't actually seeing it happen in 234 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 8: my neighborhood. So to me, I was just like I 235 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 8: just want to know how like what job y'all got? 236 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 9: And I learned like what I had found is. 237 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 8: Like a lot of people were highly educated. So I 238 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 8: was like, okay, then I need to go to school. 239 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 8: Great works for me because I'm good at school, right, 240 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 8: Like I like to study, I like to learn, I 241 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 8: love to read, and so all of those things will 242 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 8: benefit me. Just where do I go to school? What 243 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 8: pathway do I need to take? Like, just break it 244 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 8: down for me, show me right, Like I just wanted. 245 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 8: I was so hungry to know, and I was gonna 246 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 8: be relentless until I figured it out. 247 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 4: So let me ask you this, what moment did you 248 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 4: realize you had something special? 249 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 9: Good question? 250 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 8: I think you know what was interesting is I started 251 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 8: with a law practice. 252 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 9: So I went to law school. 253 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 8: I graduated during the two thousand and eight recession, and 254 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 8: there were not a. 255 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 9: Lot of jobs available. 256 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 8: How low was I was actually studying like family law. 257 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 8: I actually went to a school that has specialty in 258 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 8: IP law. And I was like, nah, I'm not interested 259 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 8: in that. I was like, no, I'm going to do 260 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 8: family law because I wanted to help people. 261 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 4: Like family law. What does that mean, like you know 262 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 4: a city battles and stuff. 263 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 8: Well, yes, but also like I imagine doing something like 264 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 8: working for a nonprofit. And I remember I sat down 265 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 8: with my sister and she had like a neighbor. We 266 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 8: had lunch with her, and they both sat me down 267 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 8: and they were like, listen, you need to get this money. Okay, 268 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 8: you see these loans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're not doing 269 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 8: the nonprofit thing. Maybe you could do that in the future, 270 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 8: but like, right now, you need to pay these loans 271 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 8: backsis right. So they had to have a talk with 272 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 8: me about that. But what was interesting, So I started 273 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 8: I want to start in my own law practice because 274 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 8: law firms are often very toxic spaces. And I had 275 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 8: intern at a few places, and I was like, this 276 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 8: ain't gonna last. Like I'm just not the type of 277 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 8: person that is obedient enough to work in a corporate 278 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 8: environment long term. 279 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 3: That's very well put. 280 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 5: I know some people like that. 281 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 9: So I was like, this ain't ever gonna work. 282 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 8: So like and here was my thinking, and I literally 283 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 8: said this to my husband. I was like, I'm already broke, 284 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 8: so if I'm already broke. It's better to not take 285 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 8: the law firm job where I'd make a lot of money. 286 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 9: It's better to stay broke. 287 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 8: Now start the entrepreneurial journey while I'm still broke. And 288 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 8: I'm like, I'm comfortable being broke, right, I've been broke, 289 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 8: so like, let. 290 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 9: Me just start now. If I'm gonna be broke, be 291 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 9: broke doing my. 292 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 8: Own thing instead of going somewhere getting comfortable, upgrading my 293 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 8: lifestyle and then trying to find a way out of it. 294 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 8: So that was kind of my strategy. So I started 295 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 8: my law practice and it was so interesting. Literally within 296 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 8: six months, I was getting a lot of press. Like 297 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 8: it was just like I was in a non you know, 298 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 8: like being a young lawyer right out of law school. 299 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 8: People don't just go solo out of law school. You're 300 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 8: supposed to pay your dues, work. 301 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 9: At a law firm, be trained by partner over a 302 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 9: long period of time. 303 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 8: Then you can go. So then you have permission. And 304 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 8: I just did it, and I did it with my 305 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 8: afro and not, you know, not wearing the suits. And 306 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 8: it was interesting. It like attracted so many people to 307 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 8: me because it was just different. People were looking for 308 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 8: a lawyer that looked like them, that they felt comfortable 309 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 8: talking to, that explained it to them, and plain English, 310 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 8: that didn't act like they were better than them. 311 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 9: And so I was like, Okay, I'm onto something here. 312 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 8: And that's I think that's when I first figured out 313 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 8: that like just being myself was enough, and actually the 314 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 8: more I was myself, the more. 315 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 9: It actually attracted people to me. 316 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 8: So you know, when I decided I was done practicing 317 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 8: law because I actually felt limited by it. I felt 318 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 8: very limited by practicing law. I wanted to help my 319 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 8: clients in more ways. And my business was growing faster 320 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 8: than some of my clients, my law practice clients, and they'd. 321 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 9: Be like, how are you getting all these guys? How 322 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 9: are you making this money? And I'm like, let me 323 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 9: tell you. 324 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 8: And then a friend, another friend pulled me aside shout 325 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 8: out to our friends who check us. She was like, listen, 326 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 8: you need to be charging for all that free business 327 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 8: advice you've given. They paying for contracts. Okay, they ain't 328 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 8: paying for all that business advice. And so I started 329 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 8: doing that and that's how I got into coaching. And 330 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 8: then I use that same thing to build Hollow seven. 331 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 8: I just built what I wanted to see and you know, 332 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 8: use my authentic self right as the brand. 333 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 9: Right, that is the brand you right, you, your vibe. 334 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 8: And I think we think we need to do something 335 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 8: extra or we need to be something else. 336 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 9: No, No, your uniqueness is actually what attracts people to you. 337 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 9: That's that's what makes the brand you know, interesting and lasting. 338 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 9: If you try to be somebody else, it's going to 339 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 9: be whack.

Sometimes we're like, well, 675 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 9: we need to get clients. 676 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 8: People already out there who know you just go directly 677 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 8: to them and ask them for the business. 678 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 9: So that's my strategy. 679 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 6: That reminds me when I first started as a financial advisor, 680 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 6: we had. 681 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 4: A project one hundred. 682 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 6: Yes, so you know, I'm like twenty four years old, 683 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 6: and who do you really know that you can sell 684 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 6: life insurance to? 685 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 4: And iras and yes. 686 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 6: So it's like they maybe put a list of one 687 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 6: hundred people that I know, anybody that else. 688 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 8: Yes, literally classmates, neighbors, everybody. 689 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 6: And then it's like just reach out to those people, 690 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 6: tell them what you're doing, Say you know, can we 691 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 6: have a conversation. So you might have like thirty people 692 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 6: that actually agree to the conversation. Yes, then you get 693 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 6: referrals yes, and then that did that and that I 694 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 6: was doing financial planning for twelve years. 695 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 4: So what you just described, that's like the project. 696 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 9: One hundred exactly. 697 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 6: People think that they don't know enough people or they 698 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 6: don't know the right people. 699 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 4: Yes, but if you know somebody that's enough. 700 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 8: Exactly, and you go to every one of them and 701 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 8: you ask them, will you hire me? And if you 702 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 8: don't have a need to hire me, will you tell 703 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 8: somebody who does need me and refer me? And you 704 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 8: just ask for them those two things, right, and then 705 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 8: just keep asking. 706 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 9: That's what I did. I made a list. 707 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 8: Exactly of one hundred people that I knew, and that's 708 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 8: how my law practice started. That's how I got my 709 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 8: first couple of clients, and then it just kept rolling 710 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 8: from there. And you know, you do got to get 711 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 8: more sophisticated over time, because over time you need more 712 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 8: clients or you have less time to write those emails 713 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 8: or whatever. But like, you want to do it at 714 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 8: scale at a certain point, but that is enough to 715 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 8: sustain even a seven figure business if you wanted to. 716 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 8: But I think people are afraid to put themselves out 717 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 8: there and ask for the sale. 718 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 9: It feels like a risk. 719 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,479 Speaker 6: And I think that they have a fear that nobody's 720 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 6: going to take them serious. 721 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 4: Yes, because like if you're just. 722 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 6: Starting in any business and your best friend knows you 723 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 6: just started, like you just started last week, how are 724 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 6: you an expert? But I think I think I think 725 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 6: the problem comes up positioning yourself as an expert. Yes, 726 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 6: you could just say, well, I'm starting this company and 727 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 6: this is what I'm doing. Let me educate, and then 728 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 6: from there they may need the services, they may not, 729 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 6: but at the very least it's good practice exactly they 730 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 6: might be able to refer you to somebody else exactly. 731 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 5: That's kind of how our conversation went. Yeah, yeah, he 732 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 5: was starting his business. He said, do you need the service? 733 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 5: I said I don't think so he said, yes you do. 734 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,439 Speaker 5: I said, sign me up. 735 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 8: Right, because you already have that trust, you already have 736 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 8: that relationship. So it's an easier yes than going to 737 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 8: somebody that you don't know. And here's the thing that 738 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 8: someone told me, a lawyer told me many years ago. 739 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 9: I literally was this guy's groupie. I read his book. 740 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 8: His book was on my nightstand and I read it repeatedly. 741 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 8: And then every place he would appear, I would go 742 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 8: travel to Atlantic City or wherever to hear him speak. 743 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 8: And one of the things he used to say. He 744 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 8: was a lawyer that taught lawyers how to start a 745 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 8: law practice. And one of the things he would say 746 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 8: is you are not experienced, but you are qualified. And 747 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 8: I think we need to remember that, like just because 748 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 8: my best friend no that I just got barred as 749 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 8: an attorney. I just got barred as an attorney. 750 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 9: Did you right? I can handle your legal needs? Can you? 751 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 5: No? 752 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 9: You cannot, right, And so I think we have to 753 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 9: take ourselves. Seriously. 754 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 8: First, people are responding to our energy. So what's the 755 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 8: energy that you're bringing when you're approaching these clients. 756 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 9: You can't be sheepish and be like, ooh, do you 757 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 9: like do you want to do me a favor and 758 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 9: become a client? 759 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 8: No, I'm presenting an opportunity. You want some of this? 760 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 8: You know, we need to put some stink on it. 761 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 5: Okay, I think what you spoke about, and this is 762 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 5: something that especially in the entrepreneurial world is taking in 763 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 5: perfect actions. 764 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 9: Yes, just doing it? 765 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 5: Yes, right. Like I used to say this the adage 766 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 5: that was like start where you are, use what you 767 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,720 Speaker 5: have learn as you grow, exactly right. And I feel 768 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 5: like in your journey that's exactly what happened, and you're 769 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 5: learning as you grow. So can you talk to the 770 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 5: entrepreneur I mean, obviously there's plenty of entrepreneurs in here 771 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 5: about not worrying about it that the perfect timing or 772 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 5: having the right setting or having the right team together 773 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 5: at first, because you're going to grow. And the beauty 774 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 5: of it is that as you grow as a business 775 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 5: and you grow that community, they grow with you and 776 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 5: they appreciate it more because they've seen you where you 777 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 5: started to where you were send. 778 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 9: To exactly exactly. 779 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 8: There are people in here who are like remember her 780 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 8: virtual law office, who was it that came up to 781 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 8: me and said that yes, yes, yes, she was like, 782 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 8: I've been following you since then, and that's like what 783 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 8: twenty twelve, twenty thirteen. 784 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 4: Right at fourteen? 785 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, So like there are people who have been following 786 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 8: you for the whole journey that when you when you 787 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 8: Pinky was saying yesterday, was like, you have to build 788 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 8: in public, right, show people that you're imperfect, Show people like, hey, 789 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 8: this is my new thing. I just came up with it, 790 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 8: I'm gonna try it. Do you want to be on 791 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 8: this journey with me? Here's what that could look like, right, 792 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 8: and just invite them in a lot of people want 793 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 8: that invitation. And I think we have to not get 794 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 8: caught up in the how, like we're like, here's what 795 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 8: my vision is, here's what I want to do, and 796 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 8: we get so hype and so excited about the vision, 797 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 8: and then immediately we get deflated because we're like, well, 798 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 8: how am I gonna do it right? 799 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 9: And the how it feels hard? 800 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 8: Right, and so we're like hmm, never mind, it's never 801 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 8: gonna happen. And so I say, forget about the how, 802 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 8: forget about it, just start talking about it, start presenting it. 803 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 8: Take the first step, invite people in to be a 804 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 8: part of it. That's all you have to do, and 805 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 8: then the how will. 806 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 9: Reveal itself over time. And yes, sometimes it can get challenges. 807 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 8: Sometimes you get yourself into situations that are messy. Here's 808 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 8: what I tell people, because I think people are always 809 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 8: afraid that they're not going to do a good job, 810 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 8: that they're not going to do right by people right, 811 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 8: and so they worry about their reputation. They worry about 812 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 8: like what if I can't deliver. Listen, you can always 813 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 8: process a refund. Literally, if you don't do a good job, 814 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 8: give them their money back then right or make it right. 815 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 8: Like I certainly have had times over the years where 816 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 8: something went awry on the journey and I'm like, I'm 817 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 8: going to acknowledge that that didn't go right, that did 818 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 8: not go how it was supposed to go. So here's 819 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 8: what we're going to do to make it right. And 820 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 8: when you do that with your customers, that builds trust 821 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 8: and then they trust you even more and become repeat customers. 822 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 8: So don't be afraid to just put yourself out there 823 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 8: and get started. You don't have to be perfect, right, 824 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 8: You have enough right now to create success. 825 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 6: So let me ask you this. Tell us something no 826 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,720 Speaker 6: one knows. Tell us something not even your masterminds. 827 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 9: No, not even my masterminders know. 828 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 4: Said ooh, you didn't get my note. 829 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 8: Okay, all right, well I was not going to share 830 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 8: this publicly, but I guess I will. 831 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 9: Oh. No, my masterminders do know that. 832 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 8: I tell them that, but I did just tell them. 833 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 9: So I think this is some some tea that's kind 834 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 9: of exciting. We really love Puerto Rico, we love the culture, 835 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 9: we love the people, and we're about to move here. 836 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 9: So that's some tea. 837 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 8: Yeah, so we're about to make that move. And here's 838 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 8: the thing I want to say about that. Like we 839 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 8: have so we have a ranch in North Carolina, and 840 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 8: I have like told people that's part of the journey, right, 841 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 8: And that was my dream. And we had that dream 842 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 8: and it was fun and it was amazing and I 843 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 8: got to get to watch my little black children riding 844 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 8: horses on their ranch and it's been amazing, right, And 845 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 8: now we want to do something else, and that's what 846 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 8: I want for everybody to have options, you know, like 847 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 8: we did that. It was great, and now we're just 848 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 8: ready for something different right now. And we might go 849 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 8: back to it at some point, but right now we're 850 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 8: gonna try something else. And I just want us to 851 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 8: be like, oh, you know what I feel like doing this, 852 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 8: and just be able to move and when we have resources, 853 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 8: we can make those moves whenever we want. 854 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 5: It's financial freedom. 855 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 9: That's financial freedom. 856 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 3: Indeed. 857 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 5: So, like I said, this is a large community and 858 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 5: everybody's coming here, you know, with a certain set of skills. 859 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,439 Speaker 4: But what's one of those skills that you think. 860 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 3: That everybody should have. 861 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 5: If this is their twol box of information, what's one 862 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,720 Speaker 5: skill that they definitely should have and they can add. 863 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 4: To it right now? 864 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,399 Speaker 8: Yes, I think everybody needs to learn how to write, 865 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 8: because I'm telling you now that we live y'all know, 866 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 8: we live in an age of content, content, content, content content, right, 867 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 8: and so I think writing skills are crucial because even 868 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 8: when you're doing video, being you know, thinking about what 869 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 8: you're going to say on video, having a plan for 870 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 8: how you're going to present, copywriting, writing Facebook ads, writing emails, 871 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 8: writing landing pages. Right there, is so much like my 872 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 8: I feel like I've told my team it's like we 873 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 8: are a copy factory. We are a content factory, is 874 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 8: what we are making every day in our business. And 875 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 8: so writing is I think incredibly valuable and I think 876 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 8: everybody should know how to do it. And almost everybody 877 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 8: on my team writes emails. They'd be like, wait, you 878 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,320 Speaker 8: want me to write an email. I'm not a copywriter. 879 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 9: I'm like, yes, but we need these emails, so can 880 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 9: you help me out get these emails done? 881 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 8: And honestly, I learned how to write in law school. 882 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 8: In law school, and here's one of the writing tips 883 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,760 Speaker 8: that I want to give y'all. First of all, first 884 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 8: things first, Right, the reason why my book is a 885 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 8: best selling book is because I'm talking in my book. 886 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 8: I'm writing in my book the same way I talk, 887 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 8: and that's what people find appealing. I'm giving them valuable information, 888 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 8: but I'm doing it the way that I talk in 889 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 8: real life. 890 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 4: Right. 891 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 8: That's called voice, and that's what people want. They don't 892 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 8: want to read boring corporate speak all the time. They 893 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 8: want to hear from you in your voice, using your slang, 894 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 8: using how you connect with people. So don't be afraid 895 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 8: to just write how you think, write how you speak. 896 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:56,760 Speaker 9: It's so valuable. 897 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 8: And then one of the other things I like to 898 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 8: do is stop writing these laws. You know, those of 899 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,439 Speaker 8: you who do those long social media posts where there're 900 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 8: seventeen paragraphs. We don't got time for that. We love you, 901 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 8: but can you summarize that? That was one of the 902 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 8: things that I learned in law school because when you 903 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 8: write a legal brief, you have to summarize. You have 904 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 8: a word count and you literally cannot submit it if 905 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 8: it is longer than that word count. 906 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 9: So literally, you. 907 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,760 Speaker 8: Would write your legal brief. You have to present the facts, 908 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 8: your arguments. You have to present the law, all the 909 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 8: citations in the brief. Right, you write the whole brief, 910 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,359 Speaker 8: and then what you do is you go through and 911 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 8: cross out every word that doesn't have to be there 912 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 8: to still get the point across. And that's how you 913 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 8: write something that is clear, concise, efficient and effective. 914 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 9: Okay, So that's a writing tip for y'all. 915 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 8: Use your voice and then cross out all the words 916 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 8: that you don't need and your writing will be so 917 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 8: much more effective. And just don't you don't have to 918 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 8: label yourself, Oh, I'm a writer. I'm a good at writing. 919 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 8: You're a person who communicates. You can write, you can write, 920 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 8: you can speak, trust that and do it more right 921 00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,760 Speaker 8: because we live in an age of content. 922 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 9: People need to know who you are and connect with you. 923 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 8: And if you don't write, and if you don't talk 924 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 8: to them, they're not going to know who you are, 925 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 8: they're not going to build trust with you, and then 926 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 8: they're not gonna buy your stuff. 927 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, writing extremely important. It's something that like we do 928 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 6: even with like YouTube captions exactly, idols and thumbnails, it's 929 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 6: really an art to that, yes, and knowing like what 930 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,879 Speaker 6: is going to be catching to the person and you're 931 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 6: just doing too much for words sometimes. So it's extremely 932 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 6: important and just headed into the new era of AI 933 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,399 Speaker 6: with chat GBT, everybody should be aware of that. I'm 934 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 6: not sure your thoughts on that, but you know they 935 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 6: have artificial intelligence now where you could just put three 936 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 6: words in it and it comes up with a whole story. Right, 937 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 6: It's actually pretty mind blowing. 938 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 9: And then I think you should edit it. 939 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 8: Because I think there's a like what's going to happen 940 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 8: is what I worry about with something like that is 941 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 8: that the quality is going to go down right. I 942 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 8: think there's still a place in this world for our 943 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 8: individual voices, and there's a time and place for like 944 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 8: just bang it out and get it out the door. 945 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 9: Right. 946 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 8: Sometimes we need to make it happen faster, and so 947 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 8: having these tools allows us to do that. But it 948 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 8: doesn't take away the art from it. The art is 949 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 8: still very necessary. The art is part of how we connect. 950 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 8: So I think that that is an important piece of 951 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 8: it too. 952 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 4: Yeah for sure, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 953 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 6: I was gonna say, can you explain your most impactful 954 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 6: money moves? 955 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 8: My most impactful money moves, Well, apparently this event. Honestly, 956 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 8: I would say probably the most impactful money. 957 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 9: Move that I've ever had was because of the pandemic 958 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 9: I had. 959 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 8: The only way that people could work with me was 960 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,280 Speaker 8: a mastermind in twenty twenty right up until March twenty twenty. 961 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,320 Speaker 8: And then all my clients because their partners were losing 962 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,399 Speaker 8: their jobs, their whole industries were obliterated if they were 963 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 8: in the event space or other spaces where it was 964 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 8: just gone overnight for quite some time. And so my 965 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 8: masterminders were all letting me know, like to be able 966 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 8: to pay you this month, right, uh? 967 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,279 Speaker 9: And so I'm like, oh, what we gonna do? 968 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 4: Right? 969 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 8: We were like we were making you know, I don't know, 970 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,800 Speaker 8: one hundred thousand dollars a month and now were making ten. 971 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,400 Speaker 9: Thousand this month. Right. 972 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,720 Speaker 8: We in trouble, right, And so you know I spent 973 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 8: time in the bathtub solbing about that. 974 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 9: You know, as one does you do that first, get 975 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 9: it out, send in. 976 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 8: I mean, Brittany probably still has those boxes. Brittany is 977 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 8: the president of my company. She probably still has those boxes. 978 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 8: And me sob it's not you know, talking to her. 979 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 9: But what did I do? I said, Okay, what do 980 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 9: I have? What do I have? What I have is 981 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 9: an amazing team, right. What I have is a community 982 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:45,240 Speaker 9: of people. 983 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,360 Speaker 8: I have the I have a podcast with a lot 984 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,799 Speaker 8: of passionate people who listen to the podcast and. 985 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 9: Want to work with me. But they're not ready for 986 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,399 Speaker 9: the Mastermind yet. They're not there yet. 987 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 8: And so I just went to them, like, I just 988 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 8: went on social media and I said, if I was 989 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 8: going to create something for you, like, what do you 990 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 8: need right now now that we're in March twenty twenty, 991 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 8: what is it that you need right now? 992 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 9: What could I do for you? How can I serve you? 993 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 9: How can I help you? And their response was literally everything. 994 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 8: We want to learn branding, we want to know offers, 995 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 8: we want to know how to hire, we want to 996 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,839 Speaker 8: know how to build systems. And so I was like, okay, 997 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 8: so y'all want me to do everything for nothing? How 998 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 8: am I going to do that? 999 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 9: Right? 1000 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,720 Speaker 8: And so I had to go sit down and say, Okay, 1001 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 8: you know what, a mastermind and a membership are basically 1002 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 8: the same offer. It's just the mastermind has less people 1003 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 8: in it, and so it's a little bit more exclusive. 1004 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 8: There's more, they get more time with you, right, but 1005 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 8: it's relatively the same thing. There's a member site, there 1006 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 8: are lessons, there's information, there's a community, right, And. 1007 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 9: It's about the size of it that's really the difference. 1008 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 8: So I was like, okay, let's take this member site 1009 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 8: that we already had for our Mastermind. 1010 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 9: We're going to take something. We're not given everything. 1011 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 8: We'll take some things out, but we could give that 1012 00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 8: member site plus a community, plus some live coaching calls. 1013 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 9: And that's the offer. 1014 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 8: And so we just came up with the club literally 1015 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 8: overnight and just started launching it, started talking to people 1016 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 8: and said we're going to start on May first, and 1017 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 8: in the beginning of April, we did what we call 1018 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 8: a pony post, which is now infamous in my community, 1019 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 8: and we just said, hey, this is what we're thinking. 1020 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 8: You know, would you like to join us? And if 1021 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,400 Speaker 8: you want, you know, if you want your kids riding 1022 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 8: ponies in the future, right just put pony in the 1023 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 8: in the comments if you feel this offer is for you. 1024 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 8: We had three hundred people say yes immediately, and we 1025 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 8: launched the club on May first, twenty twenty, with three 1026 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,839 Speaker 8: hundred people, and then literally a month later, I was 1027 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 8: very irate after what happened with George Floyd, and I 1028 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 8: expressed my rage online in a video really to other 1029 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 8: entrepreneurs because I felt like they were not acknowledging the 1030 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 8: what was happening. And that video went viral and then 1031 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 8: all of these people were like, oh, you do this, 1032 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,879 Speaker 8: I want to join too. So we wound up having 1033 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 8: another nine hundred join within a month, so we had 1034 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,720 Speaker 8: twelve hundred people in the club by June twenty twenty. 1035 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 8: We had started at May first. And so I think 1036 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 8: that money move, the money move there is talk to 1037 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 8: your people literally, that's it. Talk to your people, find 1038 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,719 Speaker 8: out what do they need, have empathy for your people. 1039 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 8: And that's what writing is too. Right, It's like, I 1040 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 8: have empathy for you. I'm thinking about what you're experiencing. 1041 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 8: I'm thinking about you know, where you're at right now, 1042 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 8: what you need to hear and what you need to experience, 1043 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 8: and I'm creating that for you. 1044 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,359 Speaker 9: I'm writing for you. I'm creating offers for you. 1045 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,240 Speaker 8: And so I think if you have compassion for your client, 1046 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 8: then you can create things that constantly serve them and 1047 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 8: they're gonna say yes because you're tuned into what they're 1048 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 8: actually asking for. 1049 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 9: That's the money. 1050 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 5: Move Hello seven, it's gonna be Hello nine. We know 1051 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:58,879 Speaker 5: that's so a lot of times. You know, in order 1052 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 5: for us to get to success times we're the biggest 1053 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,359 Speaker 5: hurdle we get in our on way always. And I 1054 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,799 Speaker 5: heard you say something super profound. Uh, it was in 1055 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,880 Speaker 5: order to be an entrepreneur, you have to risk your ego. 1056 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 5: Oh one, can you expand upon that? 1057 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 8: Well, it's just like you know earlier when I was like, 1058 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,759 Speaker 8: if you want to join us, stand it is one 1059 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 8: hundred percent possible, that everybody was like nah son, Nope, 1060 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 8: And that's risking your ego, right, that's you know, putting 1061 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,759 Speaker 8: yourself out there when you make that first offer, when 1062 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 8: you send that you know those first one hundred people 1063 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 8: and you pitch them and say, hey, some of your 1064 00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 8: referral or become my client. 1065 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,280 Speaker 9: Right, that's risking your ego. 1066 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 8: You have to be willing to get rejected because entrepreneurship 1067 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 8: is full of rejection for everybody. 1068 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:49,760 Speaker 9: I still get rejected. 1069 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,239 Speaker 8: Y'all rejected me when I first told y'all about this event, 1070 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 8: and y'all intuy your tickets. Okay, I'm still salty now, 1071 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 8: I'll just kidding. I'm but literally, rejection is part of 1072 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,920 Speaker 8: the journey and you got to get very, very comfortable 1073 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 8: with it. And if you think that you're going to 1074 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 8: get through entrepreneurship without ever being rejected, but anybody saying no, 1075 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 8: I'm not interested, right, you need to get comfortable being 1076 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 8: the salesman. The best experience you can have is be 1077 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,000 Speaker 8: a salesperson that gets the door slammed in your face constantly. 1078 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 8: And honestly, that happened to me. At the end of 1079 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 8: law school. I was applying for a clerkship with a judge. 1080 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,959 Speaker 8: This is a very exclusive thing. There's very limited number 1081 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 8: of judges and they have a limited number of clerkship 1082 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 8: opportunities and they give it to the best students. All 1083 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,879 Speaker 8: the best students with the best grades want these jobs, right, 1084 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,400 Speaker 8: so they're not easy to get. So the strategy is 1085 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 8: you just applied to as many judges as humanly possible, 1086 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 8: which is a lot of work, okay, And so I 1087 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,760 Speaker 8: applied to at the end of law school, I probably 1088 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 8: applied to fifty to one hundred law firms, and then 1089 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 8: I applied to another fifty judges. And literally, remember this, babe, 1090 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 8: there was a time when, like leading up to graduating 1091 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:00,160 Speaker 8: from law. 1092 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 9: School, where literally every day two to three rejection letters 1093 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,840 Speaker 9: would arrive every day. So every day I'm oh, I'm like, 1094 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,280 Speaker 9: is this gonna be the one? Nope, not interested? Okay, 1095 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,880 Speaker 9: sometimes it had to know. I enjoyed meeting you, you 1096 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,239 Speaker 9: know what I mean, but still no, I'm not gonna 1097 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:17,839 Speaker 9: give you a job. 1098 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,879 Speaker 8: And so like, I think opening those letters day after 1099 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 8: day after day with hope and getting told no was 1100 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 8: the best thing that could have ever happened to me, 1101 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,840 Speaker 8: because then it was just like, Okay, getting rejection, I 1102 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,680 Speaker 8: ain't dead, right, I'm still here. There's still other opportunities 1103 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 8: outside of this, And so you can get comfortable with 1104 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,240 Speaker 8: rejection and not make it so legendary in your mind, 1105 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,839 Speaker 8: and not make it mean that you're not good enough, right, 1106 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 8: that you're not successful enough, that you're never gonna win. 1107 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 8: That is, you create a whole story around this. There's 1108 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 8: one person said no, okay, next right, but we create 1109 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,799 Speaker 8: a whole story about how, oh, I'm never gonna be 1110 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,800 Speaker 8: successful because there's one person told me no. 1111 00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 9: Let it go, right, and forget. 1112 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 8: About the ego, right, just let that die and and 1113 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,960 Speaker 8: stay focused on who you're trying to serve, and be 1114 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 8: okay with somebody telling you no, and just keep getting 1115 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 8: up and going to the next person. 1116 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 9: And that's how you win. 1117 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 8: And when you have that level of relentlessness, you're you 1118 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,319 Speaker 8: know you're gonna I used to say, like, I know 1119 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 8: I'm gonna be successful. It's just a matter of time. 1120 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,759 Speaker 8: It's just about when is it gonna happen. I don't 1121 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 8: know when, but I'm not gonna quit until it does. 1122 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1123 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 6: I think it's extremely important for all entrepreneurs at some 1124 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 6: point to work sales because even what you describe that's 1125 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 6: that's actually a nice way of getting rejected. 1126 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 9: With a letter, a nicely written letter. 1127 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 6: Like, if you ever had to call somebody and you 1128 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 6: have the debate in your brain whether it's a good idea, 1129 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,319 Speaker 6: actually make the phone call and you're so nervous and 1130 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,239 Speaker 6: then they call you and then they like cursing you 1131 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 6: out on the phone.

I think it 1137 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 8: takes courage. I think confidence comes from experience, and when 1138 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,240 Speaker 8: you don't have experience, you don't. 1139 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 9: Have that to fall back on. 1140 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,200 Speaker 8: But what you do have is courage, right, So it's 1141 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 8: just mustering up the courage to stand there and be like, 1142 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 8: I'm going to ask for this sale, I'm gonna send 1143 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,439 Speaker 8: this email, I'm gonna make this phone call, I'm gonna 1144 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,719 Speaker 8: walk into the store and pitch yourself regardless.
