This is gonna 40 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: be some good advice either way. Okay, So question numa 41 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: uno is well, I would say scenario because I'm not 42 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: taking it directly from the inbox. This is just I've 43 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: been having this conversation a lot. The question is how 44 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: do I like figure out the direction I need to 45 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: go into my business? How do I regain focus. So 46 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: this is a struggle that I've had in business, and 47 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of my friends have the struggle. 48 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: And in twenty twenty three, a lot of businesses actually 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: went out of business or had a hard time, a 50 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: lot of small businesses. There were a handful of my 51 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: friends that did well, but the vast majority had a really, really, 52 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: really hard time. And I believe one of the reasons 53 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: is that we were not focused. So what do I mean? 54 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: My dad? 55 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: Actually, we're going to call this episode all Roads lead 56 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: to Rome, right, so Eman is listening to our fabulous producer, right, 57 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: So what does that mean? When I was a kid, 58 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 1: my dad would always say that. He would say Aduci, 59 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: which is my ebo name, my Nigerian ebo name, Aduci. 60 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: All roads lead to Room. And I'd be like, what 61 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: does that mean? Because I'm sick. 62 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: You're talking in like soliloquies and such, and what that 63 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: meant was like back in the day when. 64 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: I was young. I'm not a kid anymore. 65 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: Back in the day, Italy was like the epicenter, and 66 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: the epicenter of the epicenter was Rome. It was like, 67 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, it was the center of all things, at 68 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: least to those people out there, okay, And if you 69 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: were in Italy, if you walked down the road long enough, 70 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: it would lead to Rome. 71 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 2: Rome was the center. 72 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: So if you were on a road, whether it was 73 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: one hundred miles, ten miles, two miles, zero point two miles, 74 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: if you. 75 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: Walked long enough, you would get to Rome. 76 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: And so the phrase all roads lead to Rome, meaning 77 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: like Rome is the final destination. Okay, you're following, let's 78 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: go for this walk together, all right. So Rome is 79 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: the final destination. What I had found in my business 80 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: and so many businesses, and not just business, but think 81 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: about this personally too, that many of us have not 82 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: identified Rome. You understand what I'm saying, meaning, what is 83 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: the desired outcome for the business, for your personal life, 84 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: whatever that is. Maybe it's dating, maybe it's like, you know, 85 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: like what you want to do as a career, what 86 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: is your rome? 87 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: So many of us. 88 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: Are listlessly roaming the streets, no pen intended because we're 89 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: not clear of the destination. Where do we want to go? 90 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: And I realized this that even in my business, it 91 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: was kind of like, oh, the budgetizza does a little 92 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: bit of this, a little bit of that, a little 93 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: bit of up down, and the problem is is that 94 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: when you do that, any road will do, and as 95 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: a result, you find yourself stretched out doing too much 96 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: and not having not getting to where you could go 97 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: as quickly and as powerfully as possible. 98 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 2: And so when you identify your ROME. So my team 99 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: and I. 100 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: Re realized, we're like, okay, what is the budget needs 101 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: to rome used to be me? Right, It's like all 102 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: roads leads to Tiffany. No, no, now, I don't want that 103 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: to be the business model. So we identified that. When 104 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: my book Geko with Money came out, it was and 105 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: it still is a blockbuster if you will. The book 106 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: has sold nearly three hundred thousand copies in three years. 107 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: Just last week we sold fifteen hundred. Like on average, 108 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: we saw anywhere from seven hundred to fifteen hundred copies 109 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: a week. The girls are still geeking out about Gek 110 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: Go of Money three years later. Just for context, most 111 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: books never sell two thousand in a lifetime. I mean 112 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: the book could be out twenty years and never sell 113 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: over two thousand copies. We sold fifteen hundred just last week, right, 114 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: And so it was like, I don't have to reinvent 115 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: the will here, the girl said, We like gek go 116 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: with money, because it's not even y'all buying it. 117 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: Y'all a bardiy. 118 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: You don't heard me talk about your body, your barked 119 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: from your cousin, your sister auntie. At this point, strangers 120 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: is buying gek go of money. People just like are 121 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: telling people and telling people, telling people, your work mom, 122 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: your bestie, your work husband. People who don't even know 123 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: who I am are hearing about the book and getting it. 124 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: So it's like a light bulb went on. Okay, Tiffany, 125 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: it looks like the girls have decided that Rome is 126 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: get good with money. Okay, So what can I do 127 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: to enhance Rome? Well, right now, it's just the book 128 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: and low key high key. The book don't make me 129 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: a ton of money because most people if you work 130 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: with the traditional publisher like I did, so Penguin Random 131 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: House is my traditional publisher, like typically the not everyone 132 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: has gotten this deal. 133 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: Some people have way less, some people have gotten more. 134 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: But on average, the deal is you get fifteen percent 135 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: of your book sales after you pay back your advance. 136 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 2: So what does that mean? 137 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: That means for every dollar that my book sells, I 138 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: get fifteen cents? Right that sounds terrible. And then on 139 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: top of that, I have an agent, so she gets 140 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: I believe, fifteen cents from my fifteen cents, so you know, 141 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: try to make a dollar out of fifteen cent shot. 142 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: Basically, for the most. 143 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: Part, you're not going to get rich off of publishing 144 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: books unless you sell millions and millions and you Typically 145 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: it's not from the back end as much as it 146 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: is from the front end. Like I got a really 147 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: good advance, you know, multi six figure advanced, So people 148 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: get money typically that way, not so much on the 149 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: back end, although that's changing a little bit. So I 150 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: say that to say that right now everyone is buying 151 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: gek you with money, but it ain't putting no money 152 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: in my plucket and I Penguin it's. 153 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: Like, hey, go ahead, Tivity. 154 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I bet because Penguin is getting richer 155 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: off of the gikko of money than I am. But 156 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: to be fair, and I'm not mad at them, they 157 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: took a risk and you might say it's not a risk, 158 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: but it is on me by offering me such a 159 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: high book deal up front, because my multi multi multi multime, 160 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: multi multi multime, multi, I'd say. 161 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: It six figure deal. Have to count how many my 162 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: multi six figure deal. 163 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: I could have put the book out and sold no copies, 164 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 1: sold ten copies, sold ten thousand copies, which is not bad, 165 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: but they wouldn't have got their money back. And guess 166 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: what you get to keep your advance either way either white. Okay, 167 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: So they took the risk of this, giving me this 168 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: big upfront advance and in exchange. Quite honestly, I've made 169 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: them multi multi, multi seven figures, but they didn't know 170 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: that that's a risk. 171 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: But I say that to say. 172 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,559 Speaker 1: That with Get Go with Money, people are still buying 173 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: it three years later, which is not typical for most books. 174 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: I was intentional though, because I said I wanted a 175 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: book that's a perennial seller. A perennial seller is a 176 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: book that's not just good for the year, that it's 177 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: good year after year after year. So I intentionally wrote 178 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: that with that in mind. And inside the book, I 179 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: give like a toolkit, and the toolkit works multiple ways. 180 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: That one, it's a really great free tool that people 181 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: can access when they read the book. So inside the book, 182 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: I might say, in the budgeting chapter, here's how you budget. 183 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 2: Here is this spreadsheet. 184 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: But if you want a copy of the spreadsheet, so 185 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: you can budget yourself. Go to get Good with Money 186 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: dot com, grab your toolkit. And so when they go 187 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: to the toolkit, they put in their name in an email. 188 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: So now I get to keep their name in email 189 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: and then share other things with them. But quite honestly, 190 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: I've been sharing mostly free stuff. And it was like 191 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: a light bulb that went on. It was like, Tiffany, 192 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: I think you have misidentified your rome. It's not you, 193 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: It shouldn't be you. I think it's Gecko with Money. Hey, 194 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: ba fan, We're gonna take a quick break and we'll 195 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: be right back. 196 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: So I already have the book itself. It's a marketing tool. 197 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: Didn't really realize that the book sends people to the website. 198 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: That's already happening the website. You're already downloading the toolkit 199 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: and sharing your name and email. Okay, you know what 200 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: if I had a course at the website, Because if 201 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: all these people every week are saying I want to 202 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: Geko with Money in the way that you teach it, 203 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: why would they not want a corresponding course. Of course 204 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: they would, of course they want a course. And so 205 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, so now I'm starting to craft roam. 206 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: I said, well, I think I'm going to create which I. 207 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: Don't even know. 208 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: I didn't think about this earlier, to create a get 209 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: good with Money course.

There is a course, there's a club, 301 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: there's a I'm just making stuff up. There's you know, 302 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: a notebook, there's the workbook made whole, there's a merch 303 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: there's I'm just making this up, one on one sessions, 304 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: group coaching. 305 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: So just imagine, you know. 306 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: And so because what that does is I used to 307 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: be so scattered despite being in business for fifteen years. 308 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: So don't feel bad if you're like, oh, I'm just 309 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: starting and I feel like I'm not also way together. 310 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: No one's all the way together. It's like being a parent. 311 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: Your parent doesn't know anything. They're just trying their best, right. 312 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: And so for me in business, you know, like all 313 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: you're doing is learning. And now I'm like, I've identified 314 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: my rome, and so rome is get you with money 315 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: and all its corresponding tools and resources. And what I 316 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: love about it is that oftentimes not on the budget 317 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: east side, but the academy side of the business, we 318 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: run a lot of ads. And I don't love ads 319 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: because at any moment, ads they can change the rules, 320 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: which they have, and your ads can go from being 321 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: two dollars to twenty, from twenty to two hundred and 322 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: so ads are certainly can be a very powerful part 323 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: of business, but it shouldn't be the only way that 324 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: you get people's eyeballs on you. So now I can 325 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: be like, oh, we have a little bit of ads. Hey, 326 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: Tiffany's also on TV. So how many roads can I 327 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: lead to Rome? Let's count some roads you ready? One 328 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: ADS is a road, Okay, I have this podcast Brian Ambition, 329 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: the Geker Money the Course.

You know, It's just it's been a lot 368 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: of up and down because I am still learning myself. 369 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: Even fifteen years in. Last year was one of our 370 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: worst years yet. I mean despite that, we were still 371 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: multiple seven figures, but still relative to what we used 372 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: to make before, it was forty percent down. And I'm 373 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: sharing this candidly because I want you to understand that 374 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: it's hard. You know, just because you have a good 375 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: year or good five years or whatever, you're always One 376 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: of my mentors said this, he said, I don't know 377 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: who's this quote is. Originally he said leadership and success 378 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: is rented, not owned. I said success is rented, it's 379 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: not owned. And every day the rent is due. Who 380 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: yob the rent is due? What does that mean? That means, oh, oh, 381 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: you did good today? Q for you guess what's do 382 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: again tomorrow?

Okay, you see what I mean. 387 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: And so I'm saying all that to say that like 388 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: it takes continuous work. And I'm sharing this because as 389 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: I open up myself to learning, is that like all 390 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: roads lead to rome.

I 396 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: just have to figure out what other forms I can 397 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: offer up. Because the people who are buying it now 398 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: are not buying it because it's a new book that's out. 399 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: They're buying it because of word of mouth. Someone told, 400 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: somebody told, somebody told somebody. So that means somebody's already 401 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: doing the heavy lifting work for me. Oh that's another road. 402 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 2: Seven.

I can't wait 406 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: to share kind of like what it looks like at 407 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: the end of the year, you know what I mean. 408 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: At this point, I am postulating and giving a very 409 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: intelligent guest that it will work. It might not, and 410 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: then we try something else.

It does it, We try something else, but 413 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good only because it's already working in 414 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: one attitude, which is the book, which means that people 415 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: want this information, and you know, they trust this information. 416 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: It's tied to a brand they like, which is a 417 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: bunch of neista.

Why don't have to 499 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: physically show up? And one of those ways is to 500 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: invest that you can invest in business. But guess what. 501 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 2: Investing in business typically requires you to show up too. 502 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: You can invest in real estate, but real estate people 503 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: will tell you that real estate investing is not passive. 504 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: That what you can do is you build up your 505 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: real est portfolio, then you sell it and then you 506 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: can live off that income that money. Right, And the 507 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: third way is to invest in the market. All my 508 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: market girlies like I literally have a friend who was like, 509 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: I want to go on vacation. So I did a 510 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: couple of trades, bought some stock, sold some stock, made 511 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: enough to do that. So for me, one of my 512 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: roads to roam personally not having to show up to 513 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: make money is to learn to invest like that. That way, 514 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: by the time I'm ready and I'm tired, I could 515 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: be like, oh, Maye, my money has a Budgetnista. But 516 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: I could be in and out of the market whenever 517 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: I want to, making any additional money that I might want. 518 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: And so I am committed to that. I'm saying it 519 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: out loud so it holds me accountable. And I asked 520 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: Terry to help me. She said yes a couple months ago, 521 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: and then she told me about a month ago that 522 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: she was doing this challenge, this five day challenge, but 523 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: she was teaching newbies like myself how to get the 524 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: mechanics of investing and getting started. 525 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 2: So this is not for y'all. Will be out here 526 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 2: trade in stocks and options, yeahda yea q for you. 527 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how to do that. So what that 528 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: looks like is day one she's teaching like all about 529 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: the stock market and its history. Day two she's teaching 530 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: about how to invest with ETFs, which makes investing partially passive. 531 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: Day three we get so the first two days is 532 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: all about mental knowledge. The last three days is like 533 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: technical capabilities. Day three, we're going to open up a 534 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: brokerage account. How do you choose a brokerage account? She's 535 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: going to do that on day three, how to choose 536 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: when and open it. Day four it's going to be 537 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: how to buy her for a stock buy together. 538 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: Honey. 539 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm excited about that because I have like four different 540 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: brokerage accounts because I was trying to do it all 541 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: my own. I couldn't figure it out like what to do. 542 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: But day four is to buy your first stock. And 543 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: the beautiful part is that you can't afford your first stock. 544 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: You can use like paper money because they have like 545 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: a simulator, which is great. So still you get to 546 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: practice and day five sell your first stock. So this 547 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: is truly fundamental. It's under one hundred bucks. It's ninety 548 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: seven dollars. It's April day is April fifteenth to the 549 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty twenty four. If you're listening to this ten 550 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: years from now, five years now, sorry, it's over. So 551 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: it's this five day. I'm excited. I'm going to be 552 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: a part of it.

And so 622 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: I told her about the concept that I have that 623 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: I called the Thing before the Thing. I'll give you 624 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: an example, like ten years ago, for the first time 625 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: a production studio slipped into my DMS. 626 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: It was like, hey, Tiffany, you. 627 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: Know we are we want to potentially produce a show, 628 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: and we're interested in having you basically be the host. 629 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: I said, okay, and. 630 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 2: You know you're so young and green. 631 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: I just assumed, well, it's gonna become a show. It's happening. 632 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: I'm famous. Like I said, this was over ten years ago, 633 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: and so they flew me out to someplace down South 634 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: Florida or something like that, I think, and we taped 635 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: the pilot and then they submitted it everywhere and it 636 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: didn't go anywhere, obviously, because your girl's still here. And 637 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: that has happened a number of times. I've been on 638 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: Queer Eye, you know, and then Netflix, and just last 639 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: week I got two major offers for a show, and 640 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: I realized. It took me a while to realize, because 641 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: this kept happening again and again, that things would come up, 642 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: but they wouldn't come to what I thought was fruition, 643 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: and I'd be like, oh, it took me a long 644 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: time of realize, it's the thing before the thing. 645 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 2: And what is that? Is that? 646 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: That show that I didn't get ten to fifteen years 647 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: ago was not supposed to materialize as a show. It 648 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: was supposed to tell me, Timpany, get red d the 649 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: thing before the. 650 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 2: Actual thing happening. 651 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: It's supposed to tell me, Tiffany, you talk really fast 652 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: practice on camera, Tiffany, is your hair together, Tiffany, is 653 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: your skin together? 654 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 2: Child?

And yeah, 670 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: so I literally like, even now, with these potential shows 671 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: coming up, I'm like, hold on, hold on, hold up, 672 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: because your girl got to drop about fifteen because I 673 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: gained about fifteen.

I know something 676 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: is coming because usually before something comes to fruition, you 677 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: get smoke signals, and those smoke signals are actually not 678 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: the thing itself. Rarely is it that it's the thing 679 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: to tell you to get ready. You might have a dream. 680 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: Somebody might keep saying, girl, you know your skin so great, 681 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: you should come up with a skincare line.
