And how 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.120 long has it been going? Because I feel like that 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.840 is so necessary, especially for the online entrepreneur people who 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.840 are working like super virtually. And I think that is 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.120 I think people listening are thinking, oh, I would love 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.560 to do that. But yeah, how did it get started with? 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.040 How did it from your perspective? 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.680 Yes, So one of our members decided that this group 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.800 needed to exist, and so she just emailed and texted 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.599 friends that she thought should be in this community. So 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.159 that's kind of how it formed. It was It's very informal. 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.680 It's just like a group of friends getting together and 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.000 just deciding that we're going to be here for each other. 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.520 And we're sort of like all kind of colleagues that 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.320 knew of each other. There were some friend groups within it, 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.200 but it was kind of like all just black women 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.919 who have accomplished a certain a certain level of success 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:01.600 in business. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.159 And she just owned. 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.640 Well, I was singing seven or eight figures basically, and 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.080 so yeah, she just asked us to get together and 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:11.560 so we did. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:12.360 Yeah. 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:13.880 I don't think we thought it was going to form 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:15.560 like this permanent group.

I'm a mom of 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:58.240 four children, and I am married also, and so I 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.000 just my first business was at law practice. And I 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.640 did that right out of law school because there was 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.040 a recession in two thousand and eight. I graduated two 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.440 thousand and nine, A lot of the jobs that were 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.840 advertised to me my entire career, you know, schooling career, 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:12.560 were gone by the. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:13.600 Time I graduated. 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.800 I'm like, how convenient is that? And I had six 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.119 figures and loans to pay back. So I was like, okay, 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:20.560 what am I going to do? So I did a 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.120 clerkship for a year, and then after that, still not 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.400 a lot of job options, and so I decided to 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.880 create my own and just start my own practice. So 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.640 I had my own intellectual property law and business law 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:36.800 practice and eventually hired attorneys, hired team, scaled that up, 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.480 and then realized once I got really good at it 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.520 that of course I don't want to do it anymore, 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.000 as we do, right, get good at something and then quit. 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.600 So then, but what they were coming to me for 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.520 all the time, Like my clients who were coming to 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.880 me for they were paying me for legal advice and 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.440 legal work. They kept asking me for business advice, which 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.440 I gave them, and tour of mine was like, stop 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.360 giving that business advice for free. 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:04.600 You need to be charging for that. 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.040 So I was like, oh okay, So I just started 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.280 dabbling and like you know, basically book a consult with 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.040 me about business for five hundred bucks or something, just 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:14.040 to see what would happen. 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:15.880 And there was a lot of interest. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.600 And then finally I took on my first one on 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.160 one coaching client, worked with her. Her business like exploded 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.440 within six months, and so I was like, oh, maybe 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:28.600 I'm good at this. And then I slowly transitioned into 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:30.840 Hello seven, which is the company that I run now, 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.560 And like you were saying, like I really built it 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.560 because all of the entrepreneurial spaces I went into.

Nobody 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.839 was talking about that, definitely not geared towards women. 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:32.880 And so I was like, I started to. 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:38.280 Discover these spaces, which like tech bros basically, and that's 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.080 where I was going to get, like to join their 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.160 masterminds or going to events, and I, you know, was 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:49.360 sexually harassed in those spaces. People's one. I was called 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.360 the N word by an employee. After spending tens of 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:56.599 thousands of dollars to be a part of this this community, 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:58.760 I've just experienced. 0:09:58.160 --> 0:09:59.880 All kinds of fuckery. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.360 I don't know if I'm allowed to say that on 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.400 the podcast you are okay, So yes, all kinds of fuckery. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.200 And so I was like, Okay, I need a space 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:12.199 with ambitious people who look like me, who are diverse, 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.800 who care about having women on the stage, who care 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.880 about having people of color on the stage, like you, 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.720 white guys are not the only ones making money, right, 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.520 because I see it online, there's other people doing it, 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.800 so like where they at and who they're masterminding with 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:25.800 and how can I find them? 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.120 And so I just decided to create the community that 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.240 I was craving with. Hello seven. 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.440 So we've had a variety of programs over the years, 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.160 but our biggest one now is the Club, which is 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:41.480 a membership community with diverse members who are building businesses, 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.080 scaling businesses, making some of them making seven figures. We 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.520 have some eight figure members now and people who are 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.400 just starting out so like basically you know, climbing up 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.000 the ladder to hit their revenue goals. 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:53.360 Hey, be a fan. 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.080 We're going to take a quick break and we'll be 0:10:55.200 --> 0:11:00.760 right back. Like what's your favorite kind of because there's 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.800 so many different kinds of businesses and styles of business. 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.160 What's your like superpowers you feel like? Or what kind 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.559 of entrepreneurs do you attract to the club? 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:10.439 Yeah, like run the gamut? 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.960 Or is it sort of like online entrepreneurs? How do 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:15.160 how does it shake out? 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.480 We have a great variety. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.400 I think we surveyed them once and we had like 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.439 one hundred and thirty different industries and careers like represented 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:28.840 types of businesses represented. But for me, I actually do 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.800 feel strongly that we should build businesses around our superpower. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.160 So I love that you asked that question. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:38.520 So my superpower is definitely public speaking and like basically 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.160 taking complex ideas and simplifying them. This is what I 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.160 did as a lawyer, and it's what I do in 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.600 business as well, Like, Okay, this business concept that I 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.640 need to understand, how can I simplify it so that 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.400 I can turn it into actionable steps? So I think 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.320 those that's what I'm good at. And public speaking, speaking 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.680 to a crowd. I love like big groups, you know, 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.640 and I love commune so and I would say writing 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.720 too is in there as well. And sometimes I think 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.600 I'm a better writer than speaker, but I get complimented 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:08.400 on speaking more. 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.320 I don't know, I don't know anyway, but both of 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.160 those things. So I basically just. 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:14.880 Don't like to read any more, Rachel. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:15.480 I know. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.719 Hence audio books my audiobook sell like hotcakes. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.040 I mean, like the audio is meet people where they 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.640 are exactly, and I mean it's me too. I'm an 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:26.960 audiobook junkie as well. 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:31.360 So yeah, so anyway, so yes, I've built the business 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:35.320 around like basically me speaking in groups. I really like 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.760 curating community and having groups of people. I think when 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.000 I've coached people one on one, what happens is I'll 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.080 coach them, They'll will help get rid of some of 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.640 the mind trash, They'll start taking action, but then all 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.160 the people in their life are sort of reinforcing who 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.080 they used to be, the old thoughts, right, and so 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.000 then it's like by the next call, it's like, Okay, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.400 they still have retained ten percent of what I coach 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.680 them on the week before, but now I got to 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.960 recoach them on everything else. It's like, I'm like, I 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.040 need to get you in a community where you can 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.560 be reflected back, you know, like who you really are, 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.480 what you're capable of, You're surrounded by people on the 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.280 same journey. So I figured that out pretty early on 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.240 in coaching, that it's actually more effective if you can 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.360 do it in community. So even if they are getting 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.080 one on ones, I still like them to be in 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.960 a community of other people also getting coach because Iron 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.600 shop AND's iron So that's how I've always done it. 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.040 Community is always huge. 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.760 So community, coaching and education, those are the three elements 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.760 of every offer that we do at Hello seven. 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:40.440 I love that, yes, so I know you wrote your 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.959 book came out. What did your book come about twenty 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:44.840 twenty one. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.240 Twenty twenty one, Yeah, May May twenty twenty one. 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.840 And so why did you write we should all be millionaires? 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:52.640 Who did you help to reach? And I know you 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.640 have a new book which is like the workbook version 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.720 of this book that's coming Yeah, it's come out already, 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:57.400 or it's coming out. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.040 It's coming out June eleventh. 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.160 Okay, so yeah, tell us about like we should all 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.079 be millionaires in this new book that you have coming out. 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.199 Yes, so we should all be millionaires. Why did I 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:06.600 write it? 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.160 I think I wrote it because why I do almost 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.560 anything is because something's annoying me, and I'm like, somebody 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.280 should do something about this. And then after a while 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.440 I get tired of hearing myself complain about it, and 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.200 then I'm like, fine, I guess I'll be the one 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:20.800 to do it. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:23.000 If you insist. 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.120 So that it was basically the same thing with the book, 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.520 Like I just felt like, y'all, we're not even paying 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.120 attention to our money, Like we need to focus on 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.960 our money. We need to recognize our agency when it 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:35.880 comes to our money. 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:37.680 Like there's a. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.800 Lot of and we also need to acknowledge the factors 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.400 out there that are all designed to keep people that 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:43.280 look like us broke. 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.200 Right, we need to acknowledge that. 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.200 That's true, and you know, deal with the hurt of that, 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.600 and at the same time not take that on as truth, right, 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.880 and recognize our own agency to create financial freedom. So 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.240 and it comes out like your money is affected by 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.480 every choice you make, right, the decisions that you make, 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.880 the boundaries that you do or do not have, the 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:06.840 people that you allow to take advantage of your time. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.480 Now you don't got time to make money because you're 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.240 doing all this other stuff for your mom and your sister, 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.800 your cousin, everybody else's needs are prioritize instead of yours. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.000 All the excuses we make, all the things. I was 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:18.960 just like, you know, sometimes I just want to take people, 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:20.040 shake them a little. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.880 Bit, you know. So that's basically what I was doing 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:22.560 in this book. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.880 Okay, I'm like, okay, here's everything I want you to know. 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.400 And I was also unpacking my journey, like who did 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.760 I have to become to become a millionaire from growing up, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.600 you know, very low income and struggling. 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:37.840 What did it take? 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.120 Like, how did I have to change who I am? 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.120 How did I have to change how I was showing up? 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.120 How did I have to change my beliefs in order 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.760 to become a millionaire. I wanted people to be able 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.920 to have a pathway to do that, and so it 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.280 was really just me unpacking that in the book, and 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.520 it really was cathartic. And I don't know if you 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.120 found this too, but like, I think it's healing to write, 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.200 Like I literally cried through some of the stories I 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:04.240 was telling. It was like my own personal therapy. And 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.640 so that's the first book, and then Million Dollar Action, 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.160 which is the follow up. Is you know, I've had 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.880 hundreds of thousands of people messaging me for a couple 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.160 of years saying, you know, I loved this book. I'm 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.000 you know, I've taken action on certain parts of it 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.560 and they loved it, and you know, it was it 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.520 was great. And at the same time, I'm like, okay, 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.800 but like I would love for you to take more action, Like, 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.560 let's see, how can you take action on every part, 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.600 not just like the part that you liked the most, 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.880 Like that one chapter you took action on, Okay, cool, 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:34.720 but what about the rest? 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.680 So the workbook is. 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.320 Really about it's sort of taking action. It's million dollar actions, 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.600 like what are the actions that are required and let's 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.320 actually do them right now in this book, you know, 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.359 and some of these these are a lot of exercises 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.280 that I do with my coaching clients to help them 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.200 to get results. So it's really deconstructing that and helping 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.160 them go through it on their own so that they 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.760 can start to create this. It ends with a million 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.680 dollar plan, right, like, what is the plan that's going 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.040 to help you to build that wealth? 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.000 Okay, so you got to share some of those steps. 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.080 Okay, I could share Maybe I don't know one that 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.199 someone could do right now that's kind of like a 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.840 baby step, and maybe one that you are like, ooh, 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.359 this is like this is when they really turn it 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:17.200 up to the next level. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.800 Yeah, And it's like not for me or anything. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:24.959 Just like for everyone, for everyone, because you know, we 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.480 were just talking about this other day. It's just like, 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.920 I mean, yeah, this would be great. 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.720 Yes for my friend. 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:31.440 Yes. 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.040 So one of my favorite steps in the book is 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:40.600 about like creating your vision, right, what is the life 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.600 that you actually want for yourself. I think a lot 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.720 of times we have these dreams and desires, and we 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.960 don't see them as real or we don't think they're possible, 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.280 so we don't actually plan around them. We don't actually 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.320 say like, Okay, how do I make that happen. It's 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.359 just kind of like this esoteric thing that's out there 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:59.040 that's like that could never be me, you know. And 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.119 I grew up with family members too, who were always 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.040 dreaming up business ideas, who are always dreaming up like 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:08.280 big visions that they literally never even thought about taking 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.879 action on. And so I'm like, okay, how can we 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.399 make this tangible? So and this is literally what I 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.760 did along the way to like continue to grow my 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.840
