I started 355 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 3: writing that book proposal a year ago, but I got 356 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 3: a book deal. I'm writing a book with Legacy Lit, 357 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 3: which is an imprint of Grand Central Publishing, one of 358 00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 3: the top five publishers, and I have officially like started 359 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 3: writing the freaking book. And I thought it was going 360 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 3: to be really intimidating, but I just feel really excited, 361 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 3: like I'm just ready to pour everything I have into this. 362 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: I want to make it so good. Do you have 363 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 3: any advice about writing the book? I know the marketing 364 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: and all that kind of work, but the writing, what 365 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 3: was your strategy? 366 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: So my strategy first, so for me the tea I 367 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: always think, like with this teacher brain that like I 368 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: need a template, you know, especially if I'm writing like 369 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: how I don't know if your book is like how to. 370 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 3: While it's called quite your Way, Rich. I have the 371 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 3: book proposal, which is amazing. Yeah, Like honestly, I have 372 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: sixteen thousand words already that I wrote for like sample chapters, 373 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 3: you know, so I feel like a framework. 374 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: I mean, like you know, like for me. 375 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: So for example, whenever, like whenever I write anything, like 376 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: any book or whatever that like, I like to be like, okay, 377 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: what is my chapter chapter template? 378 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: Like for one week budget, it was like a quote. 379 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: The step, a story, the the you know, the how 380 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: you do the thing, and then a visual of how 381 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: to do the thing, and then a blank spreadsheet to 382 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: do the thing. So for me, it helps because it's 383 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: almost like I'm not writing this big long book each chapter. 384 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: It's like a mini book. So that's how So once 385 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: I figured out my template, so for a Get Good 386 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: of Money, the same form Madehole, because Madehold is a 387 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: workbook version of Get Go of Money. I came up 388 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: with the template of plan, do review. And that's something 389 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: that like I learned when teaching preschool that it was 390 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: like whenever the day started, you planned with the kids, Hey, 391 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: today we're going to go to the zoo. Blah blah 392 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: blah blah. Here's how the day's going to go. And 393 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: then you do the thing. You know, you live out 394 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: the day and then at the end of the day 395 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: with the kids. We would sit back on the carpet 396 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: and say, here's what we did today. We went to 397 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: the zoo, we saw the animals, and and so I said, 398 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: I'm going to do that for the book. That it 399 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: was like every chapter it was like kind of like 400 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: planned do review. It was like, here's what you're going 401 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: to learn in this chapter, do the steps, and then 402 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: at the end kind of a review. And so once 403 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: I kind of got that temple in my head, then 404 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: I can like infuse like stories and visuals and. 405 00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: Whatever I wanted to add as extra. 406 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: But that's what I mean about, Like for me, I 407 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: always have to have some sort of formulated template. 408 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 2: That's embedded in the thing, like for each chapter. 409 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: And then you know, chapters can deviate if I need 410 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: them to, but it helps me to keep from being 411 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: like all over the place. So that was one two. 412 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: In the beginning, I'm just like just throw everything against 413 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: the wall. I'm writing all the things. Like writing without 414 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: editing is super important, you know, like don't. 415 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's just like word vomit just. 416 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: Yes, you know, and then you know, and then for 417 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: me it was like I had to be I wanted 418 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: to once I wrote it without editing. The first kind 419 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: of major edit was am I saying the core lessons 420 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: that they need to learn, you know, Like so I 421 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: had to cut out some things like okay, like if 422 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm teaching the budgeting chapter, are these steps a budgeting? 423 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: Some of these other things are extra like getting really 424 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: clear about that. The last final edit was I infused Tiffany. 425 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: So once I was like, this book reads very well technically, 426 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: like this is how you invest, this is how you 427 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: fix your this is then I went back in and 428 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: was like yes, and I was like, you know, cause 429 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: I was like, where's my zoom? You know, like, so 430 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: I go back and be like, ooh, this is like 431 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, I'd read it and I would say, oh, girl, 432 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,239 Speaker 1: you know here you probably will crack a joke like 433 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: cis drop down and get your noodle on, you know, 434 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: like or like you know what I mean, So I 435 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: would add I added Tiffany back in because it was 436 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: hard for me anyway to do all things at once. 437 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: It was like word vomit. You know, what's my template? 438 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: What are the what are the core things? Like what's 439 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: the actual lesson? And then not that there was no 440 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: Tiffany in it, but it wasn't my you know, like 441 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: I know me. There are sections where I'm like, Tiffany, 442 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: if you were going to say this thing out loud, 443 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: you crack this joke, so that way, when I read it, 444 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this sounds like me. And then 445 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: after that it's just you know, basic editing and editing 446 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: and editing again. And one of the best things that 447 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: I think it was Lovey who told me this. It 448 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: was the best piece of advice. When all that is 449 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: said and done, read that book out loud to yourself, 450 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: because it should be sounded different. When you say out loud, 451 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: you're like, what the hell am I talking about? So 452 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: like not in the beginning, but once you kind of 453 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: go through those steps and you're like you added Manny 454 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: back in or whatever, and then you're like, now it's 455 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: time to really like you know, edit edit, Like reading 456 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: it out loud, I'm. 457 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: Like, that's as funny as I thought. 458 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: He joke sounds irrelevant because to hear it, because oftentimes 459 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: you know what you mean, but to hear it out loud, 460 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, it actually is not translating. That was 461 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: the best piece of advice that, like, you know what 462 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: it's all said and done, to read it out loud, literally, 463 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: like I went to Staples printed it and it took 464 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: forever because reading your head is so much faster, but 465 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: reading it out loud, like you know, yeah, so that's 466 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: the audiobook too. Yeah, but by then, yeah, what you 467 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: don't want is the first time you read it out 468 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: loud is the audiobook, because then you're like, because that's 469 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: what happened. For example, Penguin bought One Week Budget, my 470 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: very first book that ever wrote. They bought the audio 471 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: rights to that book from me. 472 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: Okay, and so yeah, so I had to read it 473 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 2: out loud, and girl, I was cringing the. 474 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 3: Whole I was like, oh, that's a long time ago. 475 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I thought I was hilarious. 476 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: Apparently like, damn it, you had to read.

And so that's when I came up with 501 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: the idea of creating a toolkit. And so like you know, 502 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: like I woant to say, like and almost in every chapter, 503 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: I would say, don't forget to get your toolkit. So, 504 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: because my book is so technical, that just meant cover 505 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: like copies of like the spreadsheets and things that are 506 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: in the book. But especially if you're listening like the 507 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: audio version, you might not have the spreadsheets and things 508 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: like that. 509 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: And so all the things were in my. 510 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: Toolkit, which was great because you came to made you 511 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: come to my site, you put your name and email 512 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: in the toolkit pops up automatically and I sent you 513 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: a link so you never have to do that again. 514 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: But it allowed me to now connect to the reader 515 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: off site. And then because not everybody was a budgetist, 516 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: the fan who bought the book, some people just bought 517 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: the book, but now they're like, oh, now you become 518 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: a DreamCatcher because you're part of the bigger network. 519 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 2: So that was huge. 520 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: Is to make sure that I integrated like that into 521 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,719 Speaker 1: the book so I can take the reader from the 522 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: book to into like my digital world. So that was 523 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: like huge that I almost missed out on it. Like 524 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: that book added over one hundred thousand people to my 525 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: email list as a result. Wow, and people who download 526 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: the toolkit. Imagine Mandy, how people I would have lost? Wow. 527 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I mean that's such a to like get 528 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 3: someone to put the book down type in a website 529 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 3: like that's they really wanted to get that resource. That's 530 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 3: really smart. Okay, that's a lot to think about.

That's what I want to focus on. 750 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 3: And as far as like the lists and yeah, I 751 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 3: want to manifest all that best selling and my whole 752 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 3: the mentality I've chosen is why not me? Like that's 753 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 3: just my mentality, Like I know what the stats have 754 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 3: said my whole career about this and that and who 755 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 3: makes money and who gets to senior levels and all that, 756 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 3: And it's always been like, listen to black women, all 757 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 3: the statistic show we're less likely to do everything amazing, right, 758 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 3: But that's never going to get us anywhere, just like 759 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 3: leaning into those stats. So for me, my mantras like 760 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 3: why not me? Yeah, what if me? You know what 761 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 3: if this book? Why not this book? 762 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 2: Exactly? 763 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 3: That's the energy I hope to carry through. 764 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 2: And that's the energy you put in. I think. 765 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: I think when so many people write their book without intention, 766 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: I I won't say that. Meaning when I wrote my book, 767 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: I said, what kind of book? There's so many types 768 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: of books you can have. Do you want some big, 769 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: huge blockbuster that just came out? You know, I knew 770 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: I wanted what they call a perennial seller, like a 771 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: book that sells year after year after year. And I 772 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: remember the book I had in mind was The Four 773 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: Hour work Week, and I kept saying, I want to 774 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: write Tim Ferriss's The Four Hour work We still. 775 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 2: Haven't read them. 776 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 3: Am I the only one in the world. I think 777 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 3: I even might own it. 778 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: Why have I not read this book? I don't know, 779 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: but I remember me a lot rich. That is a 780 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: book for me that like had me think differently. Tim 781 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: was not famous, you know, like that was his first book, 782 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 1: but it had me think differently. It had me I mean, 783 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: some of the stuff you know might not apply now, 784 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: but at the time it was like I never heard 785 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: of someone say it in this way. It gave me 786 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: clear directions about what to do. And there's a perennial seller, 787 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: meaning that the information was so evergreen that like fifteen years, 788 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how long it's been, it's been like 789 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 1: a long time, like over ten years later, that book 790 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: is still selling because it's such a grounding book. And 791 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: I said, that's what I wanted. I want a book 792 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: because some books are very timely, you know, you might 793 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: write a book about the recession, and because we're in 794 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: it or about an election, you know, so just being 795 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: intentional about like I knew I didn't want that. I 796 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: wanted almost my book to feel like like almost like 797 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: an encyclopedia I'm dating myself, you know, like a reference 798 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: book that you. 799 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 2: Take still exist, you know, like you take it off 800 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 2: the wall. 801 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: You're like, because people will say that they're like, girl, 802 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: I was, I was asking myself a question about credit. 803 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: I pulled your book off the wall and looked at 804 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: the credit chapter. And That's what I wanted. So having 805 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: that in your mind as you write. Literally I used 806 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: to I would imagine my person like doing that, like 807 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: so as I'm writing it. So that way, it was 808 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: like my north starve like I called her Tanya.

And you get 981 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: to that place and you work, you keep working beyond 982 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: that place as if it didn't happen, the same level 983 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: of like anxiety, the same level of more and more 984 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: and more, go, go go bigger, bigger, bigger, and all 985 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: to what end? And That's what she and I were 986 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 1: talking about. We were like, to what end, you know, 987 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: like could. 988 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 2: Three hundred thousand be enough? Three hundred million? Could you 989 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 2: know what I mean, like, to what end really? And 990 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 2: then what have you lost in the gaining of that? 991 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: You know? And so like I just it was just 992 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: so I guess my boosty breaky is my break is 993 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 1: the culture of overwork and overwhelm you know. 994 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 3: I mean, you need done with that already. 995 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know that hustle, hustle, hustle, ground, grind, ground, 996 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: more more and more and more and more. That's the 997 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: break And the boost is the self awareness to understand 998 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: the things that really mean the most, you know, like 999 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: your health, you know, your connection to the people that 1000 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: you love. You know, like doctor Green helped me to 1001 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,840 Speaker 1: realize that I over index on people who love me, 1002 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: you know. And then I mean. 1003 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 2: She was like girl between your parents and your sisters 1004 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 2: and your friends and your thing, I mean dream catcher 1005 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 2: y'all brown a bish and listens. I can't go. No, 1006 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 2: I was somewhere and someone will say, here is a 1007 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 2: hug for you. He is a hug from Mandra. I 1008 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 2: can't remember where I was. 1009 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 1: I think I found I was at Marshalls and she 1010 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 1: was like, hey girl, so I'm gonna hug you know 1011 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 1: you hate it, so I have Marshals too, But honestly, 1012 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: I you know, like that's the stuff. Like, certainly I 1013 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: know I could work more and make more money, but 1014 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,359 Speaker 1: to what end? And so that is my you know, 1015 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: the break is the overwork, and I had already stopped 1016 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: doing that. But the boost is like the self acknowledgment. 1017 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying you shouldn't work hard, because that 1018 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,680 Speaker 1: is part, like if you're wanting something, there's working hard. 1019 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 1: But the overwork is what I mean, you know, And 1020 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,760 Speaker 1: what I told her is that I believe over work 1021 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: is a lack of faith, you know, like in whatever 1022 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,319 Speaker 1: it is that you believe in. If you think that 1023 00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: you have to head your bets to go above and 1024 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: beyond what's actually required, it's like you don't really believe 1025 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 1: in yourself because you know, the hard work, like the good, 1026 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: solid hard work, really is enough. It's a lack of 1027 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: faith in yourself and whatever higher power that you believe in. 1028 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 1: And she was just like, yeah, because you know, you 1029 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 1: think to yourself, well, if I sleep two hours, maybe 1030 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: i'll get it done. Instead of like, girl, actually that's 1031 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 1: just not true. You know, like there's a law of 1032 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,760 Speaker 1: diminishing returns and that you know, even water, if drunken, 1033 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: excess can drown you from the inside. 1034 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 2: You know that. 1035 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: Anything good, if done to extreme excess, actually has the 1036 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: opposite effect. At a friend in middle school who poisoned 1037 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:42,480 Speaker 1: herself accidentally because she ate so many carrots, so many carrots, 1038 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: I remember thinking, like alixat. 1039 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 3: That episode of Arthur, No, did you ever see that 1040 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 3: earth pbs? 1041 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,879 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, how much show? 1042 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 3: There was an episode of Arthur and Buster the Rabbit 1043 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 3: h or one of the characters. They too many carrots, 1044 00:45:58,840 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 3: they turned orange? 1045 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:01,320 Speaker 2: Yes, poison yourself? 1046 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 3: Yes, all right, I bet Arthur ruins that for her. 1047 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 1: Yes, And so I just its like, but but you know, 1048 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 1: karros on the surface good healthy vegetables, but to excess 1049 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: will literally poison you. And so I'm just saying all 1050 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 1: that to say that, like, if you're listening working really hard, 1051 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,479 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with hard work, but to excess too 1052 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 1: over and above what's required and necessary and needed, you 1053 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: are actually working against the actual dream that you're hoping for. 1054 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 1: And so I hope this is a wake up call 1055 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: that you're needing.

You actually aren't going 1140 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,760 Speaker 3: to have to be a master negotiator because your value 1141 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 3: is so inherent, like they understand what you're worth. Because 1142 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,879 Speaker 3: you have established that from the jump. I'm always talking 1143 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,000 Speaker 3: about how negotiating happens way before the job offer. Anyway, 1144 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 3: this was one of those moments because she got her 1145 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,600 Speaker 3: job offer. She sent me the offer letter and I read. 1146 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 3: I read through that thing with a fine tooth COMBB 1147 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 3: was looking for things to call out. There wasn't it 1148 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 3: was so good. Like the relocation benefit was, like, you 1149 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 3: even have job assistance for her spouse because they she 1150 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 3: has to move, Like, I mean, you know all that, 1151 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 3: you know, finding a new place, give you a rental car, 1152 00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,120 Speaker 3: help you find schools if you have kids, you know, 1153 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,400 Speaker 3: like pay for some rent for a while. Like it 1154 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 3: was just so generous. And I just want to shout 1155 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 3: her out because it was a long ass road for her, 1156 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,680 Speaker 3: and I know how hard that is, having had like 1157 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,600 Speaker 3: not a front seat with her, but just being like 1158 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 3: indirectly hearing from her how it's been going.
