00:00.031 --> 00:03.135
[SPEAKER_02]: See, these women are being told, they're too aggressive.

00:10.566 --> 00:18.476
[SPEAKER_02]: When they have a K for themselves, so basically what you're telling these women these days in the corporate world, they shouldn't speak off of themselves.

00:18.597 --> 00:19.938
[SPEAKER_02]: That's funny to me, man.

00:19.959 --> 00:21.060
[SPEAKER_02]: They're being told.

00:22.222 --> 00:25.068
[SPEAKER_02]: They can't advocate for themselves.

00:25.248 --> 00:26.771
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not leadership material.

00:26.951 --> 00:33.865
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember when they reported to all of the blind James, they shut up and durable, especially what they tell in these ones.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is where we go from the block to the board room.

01:41.607 --> 01:46.373
[SPEAKER_02]: What we talk about building real income and real influence without the fluff.

01:46.773 --> 01:47.915
[SPEAKER_02]: We're doing under the BS.

01:47.995 --> 01:50.878
[SPEAKER_02]: We're in our second and jab and then doing on that courage to this.

01:50.898 --> 01:54.362
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not gonna fake gurus, so we're not gonna do it like the gurus, fake gurus.

01:54.342 --> 02:01.295
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sharing everybody's fake, but we're not talking about doing something that this makes us look like we have heard just all Willie Nilly.

02:01.315 --> 02:02.276
[SPEAKER_02]: We give you straight game.

02:02.617 --> 02:08.047
[SPEAKER_02]: Today we're going to talk about something that has been on my mind heavy, real heavy lately.

02:08.267 --> 02:14.899
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's the massive shift happening right now where the women, especially sisters, especially

02:14.879 --> 02:17.842
[SPEAKER_02]: the young introverts, black and white.

02:17.862 --> 02:21.306
[SPEAKER_02]: They have told or was told in society that they made it, right?

02:21.687 --> 02:24.110
[SPEAKER_02]: But these sisters, these young women, I'm women.

02:24.650 --> 02:30.337
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't even, I love the sisters, I love everybody, but we gotta talk about the women race as a whole.

02:30.357 --> 02:34.962
[SPEAKER_02]: They walk, they walk in the way from these corporate America jobs and build in a freedom first business.

02:35.243 --> 02:36.424
[SPEAKER_02]: Understand what I just see it.

02:36.764 --> 02:43.232
[SPEAKER_02]: They're walking away from the corner office.

02:43.212 --> 02:44.593
[SPEAKER_02]: They say, man, we add her.

02:45.034 --> 02:46.235
[SPEAKER_02]: We need, we gonna do us.

02:46.255 --> 02:51.060
[SPEAKER_02]: And see, I'm not talking about getting her with the Instagram fantasy version.

02:51.080 --> 02:54.564
[SPEAKER_02]: Where everybody, you know, they sip at most on the beach.

02:54.764 --> 02:55.565
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the real version.

02:55.765 --> 02:58.588
[SPEAKER_02]: The one with the late nights and tough decisions.

02:58.608 --> 03:00.110
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the one we're talking about.

03:00.130 --> 03:00.831
[SPEAKER_02]: Uncertainty.

03:01.051 --> 03:07.718
[SPEAKER_02]: But also the one with ownership, autonomy, and the ability to build wealth,

03:07.698 --> 03:08.479
[SPEAKER_02]: your turn.

03:08.499 --> 03:15.228
[SPEAKER_02]: So whether you already been building, you're thinking about getting about it, and I get into it, you're really thinking about it, right?

03:15.588 --> 03:17.150
[SPEAKER_02]: You're sitting there, you got this idea.

03:17.350 --> 03:26.722
[SPEAKER_02]: You're pondering the idea of I'm going to get started, or you're just feeling stuck in a system that doesn't value you, the way you deserve.

03:27.083 --> 03:28.885
[SPEAKER_02]: This episode is definitely for you.

03:29.225 --> 03:29.706
[SPEAKER_02]: So,

03:29.686 --> 03:31.649
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to tap into it and we're going to break down.

03:32.029 --> 03:34.353
[SPEAKER_02]: Why this shift is happening right now?

03:34.713 --> 03:47.813
[SPEAKER_02]: Why these women figured it out that most people miss the three pillars of freedom first business and most importantly, all right, most importantly, how you can start building yours, even.

03:47.793 --> 04:02.633
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're still working in nine to five, right, then before we jump into this, quick reminder, if you're serious about, you know, turning your knowledge, your story, your expertise into a real business, well, you got a grab for a join.

04:02.774 --> 04:04.055
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you got a grab.

04:04.075 --> 04:06.038
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a little penura playbook.

04:06.018 --> 04:12.486
[SPEAKER_02]: Better yet, you're going to need to join the new community, the solar panorah network is free to get into.

04:12.726 --> 04:16.030
[SPEAKER_02]: It gets you exactly where you need to be.

04:16.471 --> 04:18.654
[SPEAKER_02]: It gets you the exact framework.

04:18.674 --> 04:25.963
[SPEAKER_02]: I used to grow only my podcast from the solar panorah Chronicles' podcast, but the solar panorah network.

04:26.263 --> 04:31.890
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the solar empire network and how I get most of the people into the new community.

04:31.870 --> 04:36.935
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're switching over from go high level to click funnels and school.

04:37.196 --> 04:38.477
[SPEAKER_02]: So walk a lot, man.

04:38.857 --> 04:39.798
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's jump into it.

04:40.139 --> 04:41.080
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't take some notes.

04:41.360 --> 04:42.241
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to get into this.

04:42.321 --> 04:44.563
[SPEAKER_02]: If we don't make sure everybody's really situated.

04:44.884 --> 04:46.445
[SPEAKER_02]: So let's get down to it.

04:46.465 --> 04:47.366
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's rock out.

04:47.386 --> 04:48.107
[SPEAKER_02]: Get ready, rock out.

04:48.407 --> 04:49.548
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm ready.

04:49.769 --> 04:50.289
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel good.

04:50.449 --> 04:51.170
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm loving this.

04:51.350 --> 04:56.916
[SPEAKER_02]: So when I start it,

04:57.250 --> 05:00.235
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we need to tap in it this little box.

05:00.615 --> 05:02.939
[SPEAKER_02]: So first let's look, let's, let's look at something.

05:02.979 --> 05:06.585
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's just look at it and let's talk about, why this is happening?

05:06.986 --> 05:09.089
[SPEAKER_02]: And what we're talking about is corporate betrayal.

05:09.229 --> 05:14.097
[SPEAKER_02]: Why the dream job has become the most evident nightmare.

05:14.117 --> 05:17.643
[SPEAKER_02]: So you gotta, you gotta really dig deep into what's going.

05:17.783 --> 05:20.207
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was talking to some young ladies the other day.

05:20.428 --> 05:23.713
[SPEAKER_02]: And they were talking about the company that they were for.

05:23.693 --> 05:30.225
[SPEAKER_02]: Now most of them have been at this company for a little over two or three years, but they're several that have been there over 10 and maybe 12.

05:30.245 --> 05:31.989
[SPEAKER_02]: One of them was the senior VP.

05:32.009 --> 05:34.233
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, one of them was the VP of marketing.

05:34.253 --> 05:36.257
[SPEAKER_02]: They get about 180K a year.

05:36.717 --> 05:37.519
[SPEAKER_02]: That's on paper.

05:37.820 --> 05:39.803
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not talking about anything else.

05:39.883 --> 05:41.186
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just on paper.

05:41.206 --> 05:41.747
[SPEAKER_02]: She won.

05:41.867 --> 05:43.390
[SPEAKER_02]: She's killing it.

05:43.370 --> 05:44.412
[SPEAKER_02]: That's six figures.

05:44.432 --> 05:47.577
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what they, that's what they call secure in the bag.

05:47.597 --> 05:52.686
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, and the most most of the women in today's era, that's what they doing is securing the bag.

05:52.706 --> 05:55.771
[SPEAKER_02]: When you see them, they walk with a purpose.

05:55.811 --> 05:57.574
[SPEAKER_02]: They carry themselves with a purpose.

05:57.774 --> 06:03.724
[SPEAKER_02]: They want the, they want the lifestyle to travel to have that luxury.

06:04.042 --> 06:06.030
[SPEAKER_02]: look that persona this way.

06:06.332 --> 06:07.235
[SPEAKER_02]: This is what they do.

06:07.577 --> 06:09.987
[SPEAKER_02]: This is what the dream has been.

06:10.007 --> 06:13.883
[SPEAKER_02]: So what it's just how it was taught in life like, hey, we

06:15.112 --> 06:20.479
[SPEAKER_02]: was taught to get that job, but we also learned how to secure the bay, right?

06:21.060 --> 06:22.602
[SPEAKER_02]: But here's what nobody saw.

06:22.783 --> 06:26.468
[SPEAKER_02]: In order for her to get that bay, she had to sacrifice a lot.

06:26.488 --> 06:31.455
[SPEAKER_02]: She was on calls until nine p.m. That's just most nights.

06:31.695 --> 06:36.782
[SPEAKER_02]: She had, she was saying that she had a daughter missing the school plays.

06:37.184 --> 06:53.843
[SPEAKER_02]: And a lot of the young ladies who was talking with their head kids was missing certain situations in life like they was asking their parents to step up because they was trying to secure this bag the lifestyle of they was having you know the anxieties attacks and panic attacks like

06:53.823 --> 07:04.338
[SPEAKER_02]: And they was really panicin' every Saturday night, I mean Sunday night because after so long after so many years of loyalty, they restricted her and her role got absorbed.

07:04.358 --> 07:06.361
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you imagine just like that?

07:06.741 --> 07:07.642
[SPEAKER_02]: You been doin' this?

07:08.043 --> 07:12.569
[SPEAKER_02]: And then all of a sudden, somebody else comes in and they wanna change things.

07:12.589 --> 07:17.756
[SPEAKER_02]: And so what this young lady said to me was, that he hit him, I gave them my best years.

07:18.077 --> 07:22.463
[SPEAKER_02]: They gave me a severance check and a lengthy recommendation.

07:22.443 --> 07:31.051
[SPEAKER_02]: So at the 12 years of building up somebody else's company, at the 12 years of doing what she felt like was the right thing.

07:31.231 --> 07:40.139
[SPEAKER_02]: The conversation, restrictions, restructures, road disoppers, severance check, the meeting was had, we're going in a different direction, just like that.

07:40.439 --> 07:46.404
[SPEAKER_02]: And what she said there, and she said there to table, and they was all sitting there chopping it up, she said I gave them my best years.

07:46.704 --> 07:50.948
[SPEAKER_02]: They gave me a severance package to check, and a LinkedIn recommendation.

07:50.928 --> 07:55.214
[SPEAKER_02]: But what's crazy is this is the same story that I'm heard over and over and over again.

07:55.935 --> 07:59.439
[SPEAKER_02]: And the way I'm sitting at the table or I'm watching it on the news.

07:59.459 --> 08:05.567
[SPEAKER_02]: Every single day is something about what people, especially these particular people, these women.

08:05.908 --> 08:08.190
[SPEAKER_02]: I go on through to the corporate game has changed.

08:08.451 --> 08:11.995
[SPEAKER_02]: The deal used to be, you give me loyalty, you give security.

08:12.216 --> 08:13.938
[SPEAKER_02]: But nowadays, that deal's dead.

08:14.338 --> 08:19.365
[SPEAKER_02]: Companies are running mean.

08:19.345 --> 08:31.156
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't want you to be more 3, 4, 5, 6, 6 job person versus him being or having the people to come in because they figure out how they can cut the cars.

08:31.717 --> 08:33.138
[SPEAKER_02]: See, they're hiring contractors.

08:33.518 --> 08:34.159
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what they're doing.

08:34.179 --> 08:35.500
[SPEAKER_02]: They're hiring these contractors.

08:35.801 --> 08:36.962
[SPEAKER_02]: They're cutting the benefits, man.

08:37.202 --> 08:42.587
[SPEAKER_02]: See, what we felt realized is the benefits was the reason why a lot of these companies started doing this.

08:42.807 --> 08:47.732
[SPEAKER_02]: See, they're expecting you to be passionate about quarterly earnings that you'd never see.

08:47.712 --> 08:52.261
[SPEAKER_02]: And see, especially my black and brown sisters, these women are seeing it first.

08:52.281 --> 09:00.336
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, it's not saying that every woman is not seeing it because if you're not paying attention, if you're not paying attention, it's expanded to all.

09:00.696 --> 09:04.724
[SPEAKER_02]: See, most of these women are watching themselves get overlooked for promotions.

09:04.984 --> 09:07.649
[SPEAKER_02]: But they're watching less qualified people move up.

09:07.770 --> 09:11.256
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, some of these companies have the audacity to say,

09:11.236 --> 09:14.859
[SPEAKER_02]: I want you to work under this person, wait a minute, I got more experience.

09:14.879 --> 09:21.766
[SPEAKER_02]: I know the job like the back of my hand, but she won't meet to help train the person who's supposed to show me how to go into the future.

09:21.946 --> 09:25.490
[SPEAKER_02]: They're doing the work of three people, but only getting paid for one.

09:25.790 --> 09:25.930
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

09:26.470 --> 09:29.814
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not just women, but the women's numbers have shown.

09:30.054 --> 09:31.715
[SPEAKER_02]: These are the numbers that have been recorded.

09:31.936 --> 09:40.804
[SPEAKER_02]: See, again, if I don't want nobody to sit back and say, well, he's focused on the black and a brand new.

09:40.784 --> 09:42.187
[SPEAKER_02]: majority of the women.

09:42.488 --> 09:47.800
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like we're going back into the days where everybody just looked at it and was like listen.

09:47.820 --> 09:48.662
[SPEAKER_02]: James Brad had a son.

09:48.682 --> 09:50.005
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a man's word, right?

09:50.346 --> 09:54.555
[SPEAKER_02]: Then we started as a culture and as a presence.

09:54.575 --> 09:57.662
[SPEAKER_02]: We started getting into the fact that we really started listening today.

09:57.642 --> 10:02.129
[SPEAKER_02]: See, these women are being told to aggressive when they have a K for themselves.

10:02.429 --> 10:07.637
[SPEAKER_02]: So basically what you're telling these women these days in the corporate world, they shouldn't speak of it themselves.

10:07.897 --> 10:09.199
[SPEAKER_02]: That's funny to me, man.

10:09.399 --> 10:12.564
[SPEAKER_02]: They're being told if they can't advocate for themselves.

10:12.764 --> 10:14.246
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not leadership material.

10:14.487 --> 10:20.916
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember when they were born to tell the blind James, they shut up and durable, especially when they tell them these women.

10:20.896 --> 10:23.218
[SPEAKER_02]: Some say, well, how are you going so hard for the women?

10:23.238 --> 10:23.619
[SPEAKER_02]: Why not?

10:23.779 --> 10:24.340
[SPEAKER_02]: Why not?

10:24.360 --> 10:26.842
[SPEAKER_02]: The women can do the work we can do.

10:27.183 --> 10:29.525
[SPEAKER_02]: They might not be able to do the steel jobs or some became.

10:29.725 --> 10:31.527
[SPEAKER_02]: They might do the jobs, we don't want to do.

10:31.747 --> 10:41.537
[SPEAKER_02]: So I had to start asked the different questions because it was almost like the pandemic had hit and it just accelerated what everyone was already happy.

10:41.918 --> 10:46.903
[SPEAKER_02]: Women got a taste of flexibility of being home of controlling their schedules.

10:46.883 --> 10:51.649
[SPEAKER_02]: See, I'm gonna say this because he corporate America has not realized every soldier.

10:52.270 --> 10:57.816
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a female soldier to stand next to him, not behind him, but next to him.

10:58.197 --> 11:01.561
[SPEAKER_02]: But these women realize he COVID actually let me tell you how something.

11:01.581 --> 11:05.446
[SPEAKER_02]: COVID was actually a great deal, a great deal for the women.

11:05.466 --> 11:07.909
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they realize, wait, I don't have to live like this.

11:08.009 --> 11:09.050
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have to struggle.

11:09.391 --> 11:12.975
[SPEAKER_02]: I can sit here and see COVID started making millionaires.

11:12.955 --> 11:17.409
[SPEAKER_02]: For the young, the young women, the young ladies, the older women.

11:17.429 --> 11:19.997
[SPEAKER_02]: So he covered that everybody panting in.

11:20.218 --> 11:22.003
[SPEAKER_02]: And it started showing COVID-19.

11:22.557 --> 11:24.200
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't need y'all, y'all need us.

11:24.441 --> 11:29.510
[SPEAKER_02]: So I had to start asking the different questions like, now, how do I climb that ladder?

11:29.530 --> 11:32.636
[SPEAKER_02]: But why am I on this ladder in the first place?

11:32.836 --> 11:34.499
[SPEAKER_02]: And that question right there.

11:34.519 --> 11:37.104
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the one that has changed every time.

11:37.745 --> 11:45.139
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so now that we've painted that picture, let's talk about the freedom first shift because this is the second point that we need to talk about.

11:45.119 --> 11:48.363
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, here's what these women figure out that I needed to hurt.

11:48.784 --> 11:50.767
[SPEAKER_02]: Freedom isn't about escaping work.

11:50.927 --> 11:52.449
[SPEAKER_02]: It's about owning your work.

11:52.469 --> 11:53.310
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me say that again.

11:53.651 --> 11:56.454
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm going to say a very loud for the people who's chilling in the back.

11:56.795 --> 12:01.461
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say a very loud for the people who want to turn their nose up to women in general.

12:01.761 --> 12:09.091
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say a very loud to the people who want the scent that's sitting around right now in certain places to make indecisions.

12:09.332 --> 12:10.333
[SPEAKER_02]: Trying to run,

12:11.798 --> 12:15.222
[SPEAKER_02]: A country, I'm gonna see it laugh at those people over on that other side.

12:15.503 --> 12:17.765
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not about escaping work.

12:17.786 --> 12:20.048
[SPEAKER_02]: It's about owning it because here's the thing.

12:20.409 --> 12:21.871
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's what nobody's talking about.

12:22.271 --> 12:29.240
[SPEAKER_02]: When you build your freedom first business, you're not trying to replace your nine to five with a 24-7 version.

12:29.260 --> 12:31.443
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not trying to swap bosses.

12:31.743 --> 12:35.788
[SPEAKER_02]: You're trying to build something different from the ground up.

12:36.048 --> 12:37.350
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's all about the repillers.

12:37.330 --> 12:39.072
[SPEAKER_02]: Killing number one is time.

12:39.533 --> 12:41.675
[SPEAKER_02]: That means you decide when you work.

12:42.036 --> 12:44.338
[SPEAKER_02]: Not because you're lazy because you're strategic.

12:44.559 --> 12:51.647
[SPEAKER_02]: See, for me, you started when I started to realize that, you know, as a podcast, I was able to record my episodes.

12:52.007 --> 12:58.155
[SPEAKER_02]: But doing I started coaching, I was able to take clients on Wednesdays and give them group coaching, right?

12:58.535 --> 13:00.718
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the rest of the week, doing what I got to do.

13:01.078 --> 13:02.680
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the preference for my business,

13:02.660 --> 13:12.800
[SPEAKER_02]: Starting another biz this shout out to snapcrack of gourmet popcorn the best gourmet popcorn south of north I'm just a best whichever now shout out to the snapcrack of gourmet popcorn.

13:13.021 --> 13:18.171
[SPEAKER_02]: I started wanting to live right so I followed the model of when I started paying attention

13:18.151 --> 13:19.293
[SPEAKER_02]: when the pandemic hit.

13:19.634 --> 13:20.175
[SPEAKER_02]: And guess what?

13:20.516 --> 13:23.883
[SPEAKER_02]: I learned that there was six to seven figures that could be made a year.

13:24.143 --> 13:26.608
[SPEAKER_02]: And all I had to do was put it in three days.

13:26.969 --> 13:30.737
[SPEAKER_02]: Versus working 40 hours in struggling with possibly having to stay over.

13:31.097 --> 13:31.378
[SPEAKER_02]: How?

13:31.418 --> 13:34.945
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I built my business around my life.

13:34.925 --> 13:37.672
[SPEAKER_02]: I built my business around something I was passionate about.

13:37.712 --> 13:39.998
[SPEAKER_02]: It was getting on the microphone and talking.

13:40.359 --> 13:44.068
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what most of these women had started doing during the pandemic.

13:44.088 --> 13:51.347
[SPEAKER_02]: You have women in her who was building businesses based off the knowledge they knew, the experiences they dealt with.

13:51.327 --> 13:53.411
[SPEAKER_02]: and people that they have been around.

13:53.652 --> 14:00.806
[SPEAKER_02]: So when I need to down to say that I wanted to do a podcast with solar panels, those are the one person business owners in the world.

14:01.207 --> 14:02.149
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I did.

14:02.209 --> 14:07.159
[SPEAKER_02]: See everybody can say they took and started a business.

14:07.520 --> 14:09.724
[SPEAKER_02]: But did you start the business for what reason?

14:09.704 --> 14:10.885
[SPEAKER_02]: who are you serving?

14:10.905 --> 14:14.409
[SPEAKER_02]: And that led me into pillar number two because it became income control.

14:14.630 --> 14:16.031
[SPEAKER_02]: See, in corporate, you hit a ceiling.

14:16.292 --> 14:18.114
[SPEAKER_02]: You only make what they decide your worth.

14:18.134 --> 14:20.596
[SPEAKER_02]: They could come back and hit you with some BS taxes.

14:20.636 --> 14:24.881
[SPEAKER_02]: And then all of a sudden, her idea is the holidays is rolling up and you busted.

14:25.122 --> 14:28.005
[SPEAKER_02]: Even if you bring a million dollars for that company, you still hit an ceiling.

14:28.185 --> 14:32.590
[SPEAKER_02]: You get a little salary or maybe a bonus if that feeling generous.

14:33.812 --> 14:38.597
[SPEAKER_02]: But in your freedom

14:39.488 --> 14:45.297
[SPEAKER_02]: obituary pay scale or someone else's budget me see I know women

14:46.289 --> 14:54.118
[SPEAKER_02]: who was making 75K as a corporate trainer, who left that trainer's job, started doing the exact same work as a consultant.

14:54.138 --> 14:54.979
[SPEAKER_02]: Got ready for this?

14:54.999 --> 14:56.041
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me position myself.

14:56.261 --> 15:05.752
[SPEAKER_02]: Took the skills that she had, hornist, and started clearing 200K with those same skills, those same expertise, so with a different structure.

15:05.832 --> 15:11.419
[SPEAKER_02]: This cow income control, work in maybe two or three days a week, two or three wins in thirteenth.

15:11.399 --> 15:33.251
[SPEAKER_02]: So can you imagine you can take go vacation on a Friday, leave out on Friday morning, you did love ones, husbands, boyfriend, kids, mom, pop, they don't make no difference, brother, sisters, cousins, if you got the bread you want to take these folk you can leave on a Friday come back on a Monday Monday afternoon, well back to work Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday, make the money back that you've already spent.

15:33.271 --> 15:38.959
[SPEAKER_02]: Now can you imagine if you defer six months

15:38.939 --> 15:41.624
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'll take it back at six months, 200,000.

15:41.664 --> 15:43.007
[SPEAKER_02]: That's same figures.

15:43.227 --> 15:50.161
[SPEAKER_02]: And what I mean by seven figures is because over time, if this person is stacking money and not spending, you make it 200K a year.

15:50.522 --> 15:53.127
[SPEAKER_02]: So can you imagine the money that you make it for those three days?

15:53.387 --> 15:56.734
[SPEAKER_02]: So what you're making at 75K is a corporate person.

15:57.155 --> 15:59.800
[SPEAKER_02]: That 75K is three days, not a year.

16:01.265 --> 16:05.130
[SPEAKER_02]: 3 days each month each week different structure man.

16:05.150 --> 16:06.352
[SPEAKER_02]: Now this is the big one for me.

16:06.692 --> 16:13.802
[SPEAKER_02]: This was called Purpose of Linder and most people spend 40 hours a week building someone else's dream making money for someone else's vision.

16:14.022 --> 16:17.006
[SPEAKER_02]: And then wonder why they feel empty.

16:17.347 --> 16:20.151
[SPEAKER_02]: Women will fill in this but what's saying much about it.

16:20.511 --> 16:24.977
[SPEAKER_02]: They wish when they realized I can use the same energy to build something

16:24.957 --> 16:32.129
[SPEAKER_02]: That actually matters to me listen to what I'm saying if you're listening to this podcast This is not just about women.

16:32.150 --> 16:46.835
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm giving you what the women have went through, but if you pay attention I say it I pay the attention to a friend of mine and what she went through and then it's I paid more and the deep and deep more research I said that's me so I reinvented my podcast.

16:46.895 --> 16:48.518
[SPEAKER_02]: I went back and I realized

16:48.498 --> 16:54.769
[SPEAKER_02]: I need to get more in debt with what's going on, so maybe something that you could do like you, women coaching other women.

16:55.129 --> 16:57.934
[SPEAKER_02]: Me and coaching young men to be better entrepreneurs.

16:57.954 --> 16:59.877
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's your creating digital products.

16:59.897 --> 17:01.219
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you're doing some consultant work.

17:01.580 --> 17:05.106
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's what I'm doing is podcasting and building a community.

17:05.086 --> 17:14.397
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever it is, it's theirs, and it aligns with their values, their purpose, and their legacy, and all you're building, and all you, and your, and y'all.

17:14.717 --> 17:19.463
[SPEAKER_02]: When you're building something that actually you believe in, the work doesn't feel like the same thing.

17:19.643 --> 17:22.346
[SPEAKER_02]: It's still work, but it's not it's hard.

17:22.707 --> 17:23.207
[SPEAKER_02]: It's yours.

17:23.487 --> 17:24.949
[SPEAKER_02]: So it doesn't feel like it's hard.

17:24.969 --> 17:30.976
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to understand when you're putting in that work, and it's something that you feel like you're building.

17:30.996 --> 17:34.300
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't feel like work.

17:34.280 --> 17:42.934
[SPEAKER_02]: Now these three pills, time, time, anonymity, autonomy, income, control, and purpose alignment, that's what the Freedom First Business looks like.

17:42.954 --> 17:44.777
[SPEAKER_02]: And here's the reality check.

17:45.138 --> 17:46.139
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not all sunshine.

17:46.360 --> 17:47.481
[SPEAKER_02]: See, I'm gonna keep it a book with you.

17:47.862 --> 17:49.925
[SPEAKER_02]: Beholding your Freedom First Business is not easy.

17:49.945 --> 17:53.992
[SPEAKER_02]: And anyone will tell you this, and if they don't, they just, they string you alone.

17:54.012 --> 17:55.815
[SPEAKER_02]: The first year is going to be the test for you.

17:57.145 --> 17:58.527
[SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna have imposter syndrome.

17:58.567 --> 18:00.429
[SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna have the slow months.

18:00.449 --> 18:02.732
[SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna wonder if you made the mistake.

18:02.932 --> 18:08.058
[SPEAKER_02]: I did it when I started this, man, I didn't gave up a lot to do this.

18:08.519 --> 18:12.443
[SPEAKER_02]: Still working my nine to five, but this right, I had those moments.

18:12.804 --> 18:13.925
[SPEAKER_02]: Months in and months out.

18:14.205 --> 18:17.189
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm thinking, I'm second guess in myself, then I screw up, then I mess up.

18:17.550 --> 18:20.093
[SPEAKER_02]: So that just go back to doing what I do no best.

18:20.293 --> 18:22.255
[SPEAKER_02]: But then I was like, I'm good.

18:22.455 --> 18:24.638
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a safe path for me

18:24.618 --> 18:31.891
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm putting all of me into this and then starting to feel like I'm working hard over here, but it doesn't feel like work.

18:32.252 --> 18:33.614
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like I'm just chilling.

18:33.854 --> 18:39.565
[SPEAKER_02]: But I learned what I learned was my whole life I've been building for someone else and asked to have for me to be of me.

18:39.785 --> 18:48.280
[SPEAKER_02]: Real risk is to, I really want to continue to wake up Todd every morning, walk in frustrated, walk in with attitude or do I want to just bet on myself.

18:48.260 --> 18:55.309
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it was hard when I started to walk away from the things that was comfortable to me and I started being a podcast.

18:55.329 --> 19:05.323
[SPEAKER_02]: It was hard when I walked away from the things that was comfortable to me and I started building the solar impot network, solar canoe, chronicles, pie case, the legacy network builders.

19:05.683 --> 19:13.073
[SPEAKER_02]: It was very hard, but what I realized was this me, this my dream, I'm building it.

19:13.373 --> 19:15.676
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody else, I got time left.

19:15.696 --> 19:17.659
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to continue to do what I need to do.

19:17.757 --> 19:18.498
[SPEAKER_02]: See what I'm saying?

19:18.758 --> 19:19.920
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying quit your job.

19:19.940 --> 19:27.069
[SPEAKER_02]: What I'm saying is, start building why you throw home in on the skills that you have and use those skills.

19:27.089 --> 19:32.316
[SPEAKER_02]: When we figure that out, you want to, you want to meet to work for this person.

19:32.336 --> 19:34.999
[SPEAKER_02]: They have less knowledge and less skill.

19:35.340 --> 19:37.402
[SPEAKER_02]: See, I'm their person who will let them know.

19:37.623 --> 19:38.644
[SPEAKER_02]: What you want me to do?

19:38.664 --> 19:39.445
[SPEAKER_02]: That ain't going to work.

19:39.425 --> 19:45.251
[SPEAKER_02]: that a man they leave, and I finished the job job's perfect, nothing, no problem, then I got to have a meeting.

19:45.271 --> 19:46.432
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you stop messing with people?

19:46.572 --> 19:47.813
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm not.

19:47.833 --> 19:48.954
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's how the women will feel.

19:49.235 --> 19:50.436
[SPEAKER_02]: The same way I'm feeling.

19:50.456 --> 19:51.477
[SPEAKER_02]: And most women are doing that.

19:52.237 --> 19:54.660
[SPEAKER_02]: And when you back a woman, it doesn't make a difference.

19:54.700 --> 19:55.521
[SPEAKER_02]: What race do you have?

19:55.541 --> 19:57.102
[SPEAKER_02]: Black, Brown, white, Asian.

19:57.463 --> 19:58.343
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't make a difference.

19:58.684 --> 20:00.345
[SPEAKER_02]: European, it doesn't make a difference.

20:00.465 --> 20:02.808
[SPEAKER_02]: Back one into a corner, see if they don't come out swing.

20:02.828 --> 20:07.272
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of us are programmed to

20:07.252 --> 20:10.336
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a grown man, and they feel like they were grown women.

20:10.636 --> 20:17.125
[SPEAKER_02]: They start small, they test things, they get their first few clients, they peel their audience, they create their system.

20:17.686 --> 20:25.195
[SPEAKER_02]: So then what they do is they use the tactical playbook, they use the tactical playbook, and they're like, people are like, I'm so, but how?

20:25.536 --> 20:27.178
[SPEAKER_02]: What do I actually do?

20:27.619 --> 20:28.880
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me get you what the game is.

20:29.241 --> 20:31.283
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that when you identify your leverage?

20:31.303 --> 20:34.828
[SPEAKER_02]: What do people, or what do you already know how to do?

20:34.808 --> 20:37.511
[SPEAKER_02]: Use what you know and do what you need to do.

20:37.851 --> 20:39.853
[SPEAKER_02]: Tiring your skills into your asset.

20:40.033 --> 20:43.157
[SPEAKER_02]: I step number two, start with a start with service.

20:43.517 --> 20:44.678
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't build a course first.

20:44.999 --> 20:46.701
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't build a membership site first.

20:46.921 --> 20:48.402
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't build and hold out.

20:48.643 --> 20:49.624
[SPEAKER_02]: Start with a service.

20:49.644 --> 20:53.147
[SPEAKER_02]: One on one, done for you coaching a consultant.

20:53.167 --> 20:59.094
[SPEAKER_02]: Step three, build your audience, engine, pick one platform, one platform, focus on that platform.

20:59.114 --> 21:00.495
[SPEAKER_02]: Minds podcast.

21:00.475 --> 21:02.658
[SPEAKER_02]: but didn't I repurpose to other avenues?

21:03.079 --> 21:08.567
[SPEAKER_02]: Focus on the one platform, and this is my advice to you, because somebody figured this out.

21:08.787 --> 21:11.791
[SPEAKER_02]: Step number four, build the simple funnel.

21:12.132 --> 21:14.535
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't need to just be difficult.

21:14.896 --> 21:16.558
[SPEAKER_02]: You need to wait to capture leads, period.

21:16.859 --> 21:19.783
[SPEAKER_02]: It means contently, mag me, email, awful.

21:19.763 --> 21:20.224
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.

21:20.264 --> 21:20.865
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the funnel.

21:21.206 --> 21:22.087
[SPEAKER_02]: That's nothing else.

21:22.448 --> 21:24.812
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't need 27,000 pages, man.

21:24.832 --> 21:25.753
[SPEAKER_02]: You need content.

21:26.114 --> 21:29.620
[SPEAKER_02]: Either you shoot YouTube videos or you're making a podcast.

21:29.921 --> 21:31.023
[SPEAKER_02]: You need a lean magnet.

21:31.043 --> 21:31.904
[SPEAKER_02]: You need the email list.

21:31.924 --> 21:33.888
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to have an offer that is.

21:33.908 --> 21:36.372
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to have an offer that's killed.

21:36.352 --> 21:39.016
[SPEAKER_02]: queer, Dr. Mark queer, Russell has a godfather off.

21:39.277 --> 21:40.919
[SPEAKER_02]: Why is it a godfather off of you ass?
