Sometimes you just want to like 205 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 7: skip to the good part. But then we miss out 206 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 7: on some of the expansion. We miss out on the growth, 207 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 7: We miss out on the development. 208 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 3: Like that's how we. 209 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 11: Who you're becoming, who you're becoming. 210 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 7: We are in the different challenges and what does this 211 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 7: make possible for us? And then where's it going to 212 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 7: take us next? And even when we hit certain obstacles, 213 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 7: knowing that like Okay, well maybe this isn't the way, 214 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 7: but supposed to pivot and go this way. And you've 215 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 7: been great at pivoting and also taking feedback and then 216 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 7: making decisions from there, and one of the decisions you 217 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 7: had to make was taking out the helock to make 218 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 7: this expansion possible. And I know that that's been a 219 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 7: huge thing for you of like, oh, but I love 220 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 7: that you're very clear about Okay, I'm not going to 221 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 7: get focused on that. 222 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: That's not my identity. This part of it doesn't. 223 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 7: Define me and who I am. And I think sometimes 224 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 7: we get wrapped up in some of our stuff that 225 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 7: feels overwhelming at the time. Yes, and I speak as 226 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 7: someone has a helock too. It's like or any kind 227 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 7: of debt that you may be in, or whatever circumstance 228 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 7: where there's a lot of pressure. It's like, Okay, this 229 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 7: is here, We'll get through this. But this right here 230 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 7: doesn't define me. 231 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 232 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, we had a moment. It was last month, So 233 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 11: this is all very raw, but you know, I like 234 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 11: talking about it in real time because that's just that's life, 235 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 11: you know. But there was a moment last month where 236 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 11: I just it was feeling heavy, the helock was feeling heavy. 237 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 11: I'm like, I have taken this very big risk, which 238 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 11: I'm so happy to do, but it affects my family, 239 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 11: you know, it affects all of us. It affects what 240 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 11: we're able to do, and it affects It's just a 241 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 11: big decision that we did not take lightly. But it 242 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 11: was starting to feel little bit heavy where I'm just like, okay, 243 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 11: the only way I just threw it. 244 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 3: But we're in. 245 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 11: And one morning I was sitting there breakfast, I just 246 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 11: felt this way on me and Steve just looked at me. 247 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 11: He said, you know, the helock, it's not who you are. 248 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 11: The loan is not who you are. You really need 249 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 11: to remember that. And I instantly, like I felt like 250 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 11: my breath entered my body again, like I felt this 251 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 11: just instant release of you know what, You're right, Like, 252 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 11: I'm putting so much identity on my business and I 253 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 11: do that for better or for worse. It's like I 254 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 11: love being oh entrepreneur, It's so fun, and I love 255 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 11: other women in business, and I love being. 256 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: A mom all the things. 257 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 11: It's like, it's so easy to equate what you do 258 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 11: with who you are, and I just didn't. I honestly 259 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 11: didn't realize how much I was doing that. And I 260 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 11: think that's why the helock was feeling so heavy, because 261 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 11: it felt like, well, if I was like a great 262 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 11: business owner, I would have already figured out how to 263 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 11: be profitable, and I would have already figured out X, 264 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 11: y Z. So then you start to be like, well, 265 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 11: am I even that good at this? And we'll you know, 266 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 11: and just so many like first of all lies and 267 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 11: then ties that just weren't they're not meant to be there. 268 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 4: You know. 269 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 11: And so when he said that, I literally just felt 270 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 11: this giant release of like, oh, you're right, it's not 271 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 11: who I am. And if this thing goes a hell 272 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 11: in the handbasket tomorrow, I am loved. I'm worthy, I'm 273 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 11: brave for trying this, and I hope inspire people to 274 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 11: try something themselves, you know, just like to be a 275 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 11: little bit less tied to the outcome, even though I 276 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 11: still hope the outcomes good, you know, I still hope 277 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 11: we can grow and do all the things. But that 278 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 11: was like a really helpful lesson for me of like, oh, wow, 279 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 11: I have way too much identity tied up in this. 280 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, And well, I do think that, like you mentioned earlier, 281 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 7: social media can make it hard when sometimes you're seeing 282 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 7: the highlight reel of people and you're seeing some of 283 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 7: the success in business and they're doing all the things 284 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 7: but you also don't have the full picture. You don't 285 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 7: know what it took to get there, and maybe it 286 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 7: did work out for them and a snap of a 287 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 7: finger like that. But everybody's story is different. And I 288 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 7: like that you're sharing the. 289 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: Honest side, like in the middle. 290 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 7: You're in the middle of it, You're in the thick 291 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 7: of it. You're you're pulling the weeds, and it doesn't 292 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 7: define you. I like that you said that, or that 293 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 7: Steve said that to you. And now because even your 294 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 7: business like Emergency Competti doesn't define you. 295 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 3: At all, Like you're so much more than that, and. 296 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 7: You did we had to do to expand the business, 297 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 7: and I think it's going to pay off well for sure, 298 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 7: I hope. 299 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 6: So. 300 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that. 301 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 11: Listen back to this podcast years from now and be 302 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 11: like either this way or this way, we're going home. 303 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: We're hep, it's good. 304 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 2: Yeah. 305 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 3: I think expansion. 306 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 7: I like that word, and you've expanded in so many 307 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 7: different ways, and now this is something that doesn't define you. 308 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 12: You know. 309 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 7: That reminds me of the saying of the data versus 310 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 7: the drama, because I think sometimes we get wrapped up 311 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 7: in the drama of something when really if you just 312 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 7: look at the facts, it's like, Okay, I have a business. 313 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 7: I wanted to expand it. Therefore I needed to take 314 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 7: out a loan. I'm expanding my business. This is part 315 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 7: of the process. 316 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 13: It's like the data. 317 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 7: It's not the drama of Oh, I took out this 318 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 7: loan and I haven't been able to pay it back yet, 319 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 7: and now I'm a failure. You know. 320 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 3: That's the drama. 321 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 5: Yes, that is. 322 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 3: Sometimes we have. 323 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 7: To present it as the data and then also have 324 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 7: the reminder like Steve was telling you, and have good 325 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 7: people that are in your life that will look at 326 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 7: you and say like, they'll let you kind of say 327 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 7: process and say what you need to say, but then 328 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 7: they're gonna look you in the face and be like, 329 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 7: that doesn't define you. 330 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 3: By the way, remember that. 331 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 5: We're gonna do it live. 332 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 12: Oh the one, two, three, sore losers? 333 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 9: What up, everybody?
