Speaker:

Hi. Welcome back to another episode of the real

Speaker:

truth about business, Real Talk. This is the

Speaker:

third time I have hit play on this episode,

Speaker:

and I keep getting an error that my Internet connection is unstable.

Speaker:

So anyway, third time's charm, let's just hope that we

Speaker:

get through this. Um, we're diving in today to talk about money

Speaker:

making activities in your business, prioritizing them, identifying

Speaker:

them, etcetera. But before I do that, I just want to give you a

Speaker:

little personal note. And sentiment from me is

Speaker:

that when I log in to record this podcast, I

Speaker:

am literally sitting in here as if you are

Speaker:

on the other side of Zoom with me, and I am having a conversation,

Speaker:

and we are friends. And my goal in my intention with

Speaker:

creating this podcast is that I hope that you feel that. And I just want

Speaker:

you to know from the bottom of my heart that I do really, truly value

Speaker:

every single person that listens to this podcast. And I

Speaker:

hope that you feel like we are friends, because

Speaker:

in my world, we are. And I just want you to know that. And I

Speaker:

think it's important because relationships mean a lot to me. Relationships

Speaker:

are the core to everything I do in my business. And

Speaker:

I don't want anybody to ever feel like, you know, I'm

Speaker:

just here and I'm talking at you. Like, I

Speaker:

really hope that when you listen, you feel like we. I am talking with you

Speaker:

and I am sharing and all of that. And so I don't know why I

Speaker:

felt compelled to say that today, but it's been. It just was on my heart,

Speaker:

like, and it was in the moment. And, like, my intuition just said to do

Speaker:

that. So, um, I'm going with it. But anyways, so today

Speaker:

we're talking about money making actions in your business,

Speaker:

and this is really,

Speaker:

really important, okay? And I think there

Speaker:

is a lot of drama, for lack of a better word,

Speaker:

around this. There's all these acronyms. There's, like, IPA. You know, I

Speaker:

think in, like, a lot of. In the MLM world, they call them ipas, which

Speaker:

when I hear that, all I think of is, like, the local brew. Like,

Speaker:

are we going out for beers? I don't think of income producing

Speaker:

activities. And then there's, like, I call money

Speaker:

making activities, and then there's revenue generating activities. At the end of the

Speaker:

day, all the horseshit and everything, it just means, like, what are

Speaker:

the things that you're doing in your business that directly correlate to revenue?

Speaker:

Okay? And I think people get wrapped up in

Speaker:

thinking they're doing money making activities when they're really just being

Speaker:

busy. And so I really want you to listen today and

Speaker:

think about what are the money making

Speaker:

activities in your business? And we just wrapped up a

Speaker:

five day with the focus visionary strategic reset, and we

Speaker:

really identified the money making actions for every

Speaker:

participant. And so that's where this episode is coming from.

Speaker:

Today is just, it's so brilliant for me to

Speaker:

see, like, the light bulbs that go off when it's like, oh,

Speaker:

this is exactly what I need to be focused on. Okay? And

Speaker:

so where I think people get tripped up with money making

Speaker:

actions is that they get very focused on the grind, right? They don't

Speaker:

prioritize these money making activities. They over

Speaker:

commit to money making actions. They end up falling to the bottom

Speaker:

of the list. They get pushed aside. They don't get

Speaker:

prioritized. There's really no

Speaker:

set, like, plan for implementation. They really.

Speaker:

Nobody is really taking the time to figure out, okay, these are the money making

Speaker:

activities in my business, and this is what I'm my goal. Okay?

Speaker:

So I really want you to think about this before

Speaker:

you just commit to it. Okay? And I'm going to give you kind of four

Speaker:

key steps we're going to go through really quickly of four

Speaker:

steps that are going to help you set this up

Speaker:

for yourself, for your business. And also keeping in mind that I'm going

Speaker:

to give you some examples, but your money making activities in your business

Speaker:

are going to be very different than mine, as they are any of my clients,

Speaker:

because everybody's business looks different. Okay? So you really need

Speaker:

to go back to what's working, right. If you didn't listen to that episode,

Speaker:

go back and listen to that one and identify

Speaker:

what you need to do more. Of. Okay, so step number one is

Speaker:

identify what the money making actions are, right. That's the,

Speaker:

that's the first step. And keep in mind, there really

Speaker:

should not be more than three of them, all right? They should.

Speaker:

You should not have more than three money making actions in your business

Speaker:

at any given time. It doesn't mean they can't change. It doesn't mean they might

Speaker:

not shift. But at any one time, you should not be

Speaker:

focused on more than three. And it could be that you really

Speaker:

only have one. Okay. You could have one thing that,

Speaker:

you know, if I do this over and over and over again, it nets results.

Speaker:

And if that's working, then that's your money making

Speaker:

action. Okay, so let me give you a. Few examples of some money making actions

Speaker:

of what you can identify as for your business. Okay? So

Speaker:

for me, it's scheduling coffee chats. I know,

Speaker:

and I can prove, and I have the information that supports that. When I book

Speaker:

coffee chats, it indirectly,

Speaker:

it leads to more money, whether that's through a referral,

Speaker:

whether that's through a collaboration, whether it's through a direct

Speaker:

client, coffee chat to client, you know, whatever it is. I know that

Speaker:

coffee chats are one of the best income producing

Speaker:

activities ipa in my business. I know that if

Speaker:

I focus on them, and I also see, like, when I book

Speaker:

many of them and I have a couple in a row, like, things start to

Speaker:

really come together. Like, it's also amazing for

Speaker:

content because I have some of the best conversations, and it usually turns into content,

Speaker:

which then turns into follow up or whatever it looks like at a great conversation

Speaker:

yesterday, and it gave me a great opportunity to follow up with the lead, which

Speaker:

is number two for me, is follow up and or nurture.

Speaker:

Right. Because top of mind relationship building is a

Speaker:

priority for me. So if you struggle between follow up and

Speaker:

nurture, go back and listen to that other episode. I've got a lot of.

Speaker:

I'm going to be referencing a lot of different things in this episode, which

Speaker:

I know goes against the grain and everything that you should do in a podcast

Speaker:

episode. But I can't help it because this one is full of resources, and I'll

Speaker:

make sure they're all in the show notes. So follow up versus

Speaker:

nurture. So I. That's something that I do. And also knowing who you're

Speaker:

following up with and what are you following up with them on? Right.

Speaker:

So it could be staying top of mind. It could be that you're following

Speaker:

up with them because they're a lead. You know, there could be a

Speaker:

multitude of different things. And so what

Speaker:

does that look like? So again, if I'm saying book coffee

Speaker:

chats, how do I do that? Well, a lot of times it's

Speaker:

through direct message on social media, or it's

Speaker:

in, I am in two paid communities, and it would be to do,

Speaker:

again, direct message or put a post up in those communities

Speaker:

of asking and looking for, to connect with people

Speaker:

for coffee chats. Okay? So that is something I do every

Speaker:

single week. All right. And then follow up. Who do you need to follow up

Speaker:

with and what are you following up with them on? And then whatever

Speaker:

that looks like for visibility, you should have something that is

Speaker:

visibility. It could be, right. For me, it's the Sunday morning brew, right?

Speaker:

That is my one revenue generating activity

Speaker:

and also the podcast. So I try to batch record my podcast, though.

Speaker:

So they are not, that's not a weekly action, right?

Speaker:

And I say weekly because quite honestly,

Speaker:

you don't need to be doing these things every single day, right?

Speaker:

They become part of the grind and like, that's how they fall to the bottom

Speaker:

of the list is because you're trying to do them every single day, and it's

Speaker:

really not realistic. Okay, which leads is going to

Speaker:

lead me to step two. So recap. Step one is identify

Speaker:

what are your money making actions for the week? What are

Speaker:

the weekly non negotiables? Like, I need to do this

Speaker:

every single week. Okay? And if you're struggling with that,

Speaker:

or write down and brained up your list of all the things you feel

Speaker:

like you need to do that are money making and revenue generating

Speaker:

activities. Okay? And then I want you to

Speaker:

look at that list and kind of take it a step further and ask yourself,

Speaker:

like, well, what is the goal with this? Right? So if I put on their

Speaker:

DM's, right. Send 20 DM's a

Speaker:

week. Okay, what's the goal? Well, my goal is to book

Speaker:

coffee chats, right? My goal is to do ten coffee chats a month.

Speaker:

So I should be able to do that. If I'm, if I'm connecting

Speaker:

with 20 people a week there, I should more than be

Speaker:

willing or able to book ten coffee chats. Right? So what's the

Speaker:

goal? Follow up and or nurture. Right? So what is

Speaker:

the goal? Obviously, follow up is to convert to either a sales call,

Speaker:

is it to convert to a discovery call? Is it to convert. What's, what is

Speaker:

the intention behind the follow up? Or if it's to nurture, is it to keep

Speaker:

people in your world? Is it to check in on them, to see how they're

Speaker:

doing, you know, that type of thing. That's what you could look at and then

Speaker:

ask yourself, like, what. How much of this, like

Speaker:

what's the quantity? Right? Like how. How do I want to do

Speaker:

this? Like how much of this do I need to do? Okay, because,

Speaker:

like, if you just sent, like an arbitrary, like, send DM's. Well,

Speaker:

like why? To who? For what? Right, send DM's because

Speaker:

that's how you follow up in nurture. Send DM's because you're trying to book coffee

Speaker:

chats, right? Like, what is the goal? What's the intention? So make sure that

Speaker:

it has an intention behind it. It's not just some

Speaker:

random activity, right? So if you have a local business,

Speaker:

it could be that you reach out to your referral partners. This is something,

Speaker:

in the five day reset, one of the members in there,

Speaker:

it has a local business that has a very strong referral network in

Speaker:

her local area. So her job and her, one of her weekly

Speaker:

actions is to like continue to touch base with

Speaker:

her referrals to check in with them and see, like, hey, do you have any

Speaker:

of this? Or hey, I, you know, giving them further information or doing like a

Speaker:

master class, right? So you could be setting up a masterclass. It

Speaker:

could be attending a networking event. It could be whatever it

Speaker:

is, make sure that there's an intention behind it.

Speaker:

Okay. So there's a lot of different activities that you could do, but

Speaker:

make sure that there's an intention behind it. Okay. The

Speaker:

second thing is, step two is to schedule it

Speaker:

into your week. Schedule it and make it a

Speaker:

priority. So find out

Speaker:

when in your schedule, like find a time

Speaker:

that you can get this done. All right.

Speaker:

I started a co working session on

Speaker:

Mondays for the mastermind group, which is now open

Speaker:

to, I say the public, but only to people on my email list. And

Speaker:

or if you listen to this podcast, it's not something I'm going to start promoting

Speaker:

publicly, like on my socials or anything like that, or on my website.

Speaker:

Not yet at least. But if you need a co working or

Speaker:

accountability, you can join the money Mondays. I called it

Speaker:

money Mondays because I wanted it specific to money

Speaker:

making activities. Right. It is not designed to come in and

Speaker:

work on client work or something like that. Although if you have to, you

Speaker:

have to. But the goal is, is to give a set hour at the beginning

Speaker:

of the week to get your money making activities done. So whether

Speaker:

that's to create your content, send those DM's and it's 1

Speaker:

hour. Which leads me to your money making actions should not

Speaker:

take more than an hour per week, right? Because first of all, you're only doing

Speaker:

one or two things, so it shouldn't be that overwhelming.

Speaker:

And second of all, it's very focused. It's very

Speaker:

focused and you're doing it effectively, and you're doing it efficiently, so you should be

Speaker:

able to bang it out in an hour, especially if you have that time

Speaker:

carved out on your calendar. And that is all you are

Speaker:

doing. Right? You're not answering calls in between this, you're not texting with your

Speaker:

clients, you're not doing anything. You're literally sitting down, giving yourself

Speaker:

that hour and you're prioritizing that time.

Speaker:

Okay? So I highly recommend whether you join money

Speaker:

Mondays or not, find. Or maybe you're in another co working,

Speaker:

find a spot on your calendar consistently

Speaker:

every week. Maybe you need to do your money make activities on Friday and that

Speaker:

will lead you to the next week. Right? That's perfectly okay,

Speaker:

too, regardless of when it is. Maybe it's different every week. That's

Speaker:

okay, too. But go through a month in advance and

Speaker:

get those money making hours

Speaker:

on your calendar. Okay? You can set aside 1 hour

Speaker:

a week. Again, this is where I talk about inside the framework, the focus,

Speaker:

visionary framework, about balancing the grind and the goal.

Speaker:

Your money making activities are part of the goal.

Speaker:

This is not the grind, okay? These are the things

Speaker:

that are moving you towards your goal. Right?

Speaker:

You're shutting off the grind for an hour a

Speaker:

week and you're focused on the goal.

Speaker:

That is what we are trying to achieve here. Okay? So step

Speaker:

one, identify. Step two, prioritize.

Speaker:

Prioritize them and get them in your.

Speaker:

Get them in your calendar, okay? Number

Speaker:

three is execute, right? So you've

Speaker:

identified it, you scheduled it in. Now you got to actually execute,

Speaker:

right? Execute every single week.

Speaker:

And again, don't put too much pressure on yourself. One of the things that I've

Speaker:

seen people struggle with or where they get kind of out of control, is that

Speaker:

they try to do too many things, right? So let's go back to my example,

Speaker:

and I said that I only want to book ten coffee chats a week or

Speaker:

a month, right? That's all I can fit in my calendars. Ten coffee chats

Speaker:

a month. So I also said that I wanted to do 20

Speaker:

DM's, right? So 20 DM's, that's

Speaker:

80. That's 80. There's a

Speaker:

good chance I'm going to book more than ten. And then what's going to happen

Speaker:

is I'm going to get overwhelmed, my calendar is going to get full.

Speaker:

I'm not going to have time for anything. And so then that's

Speaker:

where these money making activities start to fall off the rails.

Speaker:

All right? So execute and

Speaker:

make sure that you can actually execute it and maintain it, because

Speaker:

also, too, if I send 20 messages on Monday, there's a good chance

Speaker:

that Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, those messages are going to continue, right?

Speaker:

There's going to be some back and forth, there's going to be follow up, there's

Speaker:

going to be questions. You may have to schedule more calls, right? That's where I'm

Speaker:

saying these things need to be done weekly. And what I mean by that

Speaker:

is it's not that you're not going to touch them every single day,

Speaker:

but you also have to have the space to do that,

Speaker:

right? So you can't be sending 20 DM's every single day because there then

Speaker:

would be no time to actually continue those

Speaker:

conversations or whatnot, right? So you do the money making

Speaker:

activities once and then all week long, you kind

Speaker:

of continue to execute on them, right? You set the precedence, you get

Speaker:

the ball rolling once a week, and then all week long, you

Speaker:

continue to maintain that you're executing, you're continuing those conversations, you're getting

Speaker:

those calls booked, you're executing, you're having the calls, you're having the

Speaker:

conversations, right? So you have to leave your

Speaker:

yourself space to do that. That's why I say you can't really

Speaker:

schedule this every single day because then you're not leaving yourself space

Speaker:

to actually execute and

Speaker:

maintain it, right? And what you don't want to do is get yourself in a

Speaker:

cycle where it's like you start, stop, start, stop. You're doing this, you're doing that,

Speaker:

and then all of a sudden you fall off the rails because you got overwhelmed,

Speaker:

right? This is a huge struggle that I see for

Speaker:

most business owners is they go all in like they, they love it, they

Speaker:

schedule the time, they go all in, they go balls to the wall, and

Speaker:

then things all start to pop off at the same time. They get overwhelmed, they

Speaker:

shut down, they burn out, and then it's like, now I got to start the

Speaker:

cycle all over. You don't really need to be in that feast or famine

Speaker:

cycle, right? Like, you only need to

Speaker:

really think about your capacity. Most of us are not

Speaker:

looking to put a hundred people into a program or

Speaker:

put 100 people on our calendar in a week, right, or a month

Speaker:

or anything like that. So, like, you don't need to go balls to the wall

Speaker:

like even in my example that I gave you, I really only need to send

Speaker:

about ten DM's, right. Because even

Speaker:

if two people convert, that's eight per. That's eight

Speaker:

just from that effort alone, you know, and there's a good chance,

Speaker:

I know, that more people than to usually

Speaker:

convert. Right? So again, understanding what

Speaker:

your money making actions are and then giving yourself

Speaker:

space in your calendar to actually

Speaker:

execute when things start to flow.

Speaker:

Right. That's the whole key there, because if you don't leave that

Speaker:

space, you're going to get overwhelmed and it's just going to burn out.

Speaker:

Okay? So step one, identify.

Speaker:

Step two, prioritize. Step three,

Speaker:

execute. And then step four is measure

Speaker:

and track, track, measure what you're doing. Right. So

Speaker:

if you said you were going to send ten, did you send ten?

Speaker:

Yes. Okay. Part of the money making

Speaker:

or money Mondays is I do have some accountability

Speaker:

trackers included in that where you can state, like, what are you

Speaker:

focused on? And you can get in there and you can fill it out and

Speaker:

you can see your progress. Right? So that's a really great way

Speaker:

to track it. I think accountability is huge. Public

Speaker:

accountability, I think, is even better. So inside the focus visionary, one

Speaker:

of the things that I do is I have them like the weekly

Speaker:

trackers everybody can see because it allows

Speaker:

people to see that and cheer each other on and whatnot. So anyway,

Speaker:

measure and track them. Measure. I sent

Speaker:

ten. I said I was going to send ten. I sent ten.

Speaker:

Yay. That's your measurement. Now, tracking it would

Speaker:

be. I said I was going to send ten. I sent the ten.

Speaker:

I got two booked out of that. Cool, great. Track

Speaker:

that, right? I did this follow up, I got this

Speaker:

feedback. I nurtured these people. Here's what I knew, right?

Speaker:

So, like, if you're in that nurture phase, what are

Speaker:

they telling you? Is there something going on? Is that, did they give you a

Speaker:

follow up date? Right? Like update your notes, track your activity

Speaker:

and then maybe it's scheduling, promoting your lead magnet. You

Speaker:

know, maybe you're promoting a lead magnet or you're trying to grow your

Speaker:

email list, like have a starting point and then track

Speaker:

it. I shared about my weekly

Speaker:

newsletter once a week and I consistently

Speaker:

gained one or two subscribers, whatever that looks like.

Speaker:

Right? So again, your, your, your

Speaker:

activities are going to look different. How you track them, what you're measuring, your measure

Speaker:

of success is different as well. But you want to have something that measures whether

Speaker:

or not these money making activities are truly, actually revenue

Speaker:

generating. Right? So you can measure them every week as far

Speaker:

as what you did, the tracking usually is about once a

Speaker:

month, like, and then taking a look at it and reflecting on it and saying,

Speaker:

okay, booked. I sent out ten

Speaker:

DM's a week. I ended up booking two coffee chats a week from

Speaker:

that. The two people I connected with were amazing conversations.

Speaker:

They were okay conversations. They led to this. Right? Like, what did it lead

Speaker:

to? What's the goal? What is your next step? Right,

Speaker:

so that's what you're looking for as far as your money making

Speaker:

activities. Okay. It's not just about saying that you're doing all

Speaker:

the things or that, oh, I do this, I do this, I post on social

Speaker:

media, I engage, because that's. There's a list of things that

Speaker:

you could be doing for money making activities. It could be engagement, it could

Speaker:

be posting, running a masterclass, it could

Speaker:

be all kinds of things. It could be scheduling sales calls, it

Speaker:

could be doing meetings. Like, it could be team meetings, right? Could be meeting

Speaker:

with contractors because that helps

Speaker:

you gain more clients. It could be attending networking

Speaker:

events. There's so many things that you've

Speaker:

got to actually measure them and track it. Like,

Speaker:

it could be client retention, it could be looking and

Speaker:

understanding where people are at and what is their next step.

Speaker:

Right. So as far as your follow up, maybe it's every week, like reaching

Speaker:

back out to a past client. Do you have a group program? Do you have

Speaker:

a next step? Like, for me, I've now got this money Mondays co

Speaker:

working. So it might be to share it with past clients that might

Speaker:

be part of my revenue generating activities in one of the months

Speaker:

is like letting people know it exists again, you know, that

Speaker:

type of thing. So identify, prioritize,

Speaker:

execute and measure. Those are your four steps, and

Speaker:

that is what's going to actually help you see the results and

Speaker:

stay very focused and move you closer to the goal. This is

Speaker:

the once a week, one action, 1 hour

Speaker:

that you are taking and setting aside to move towards your goal,

Speaker:

because the grind usually takes priority. That's

Speaker:

just the way of the world. That's just the way business happens, is that

Speaker:

we get wrapped up in the grind. We are reactive, clients need

Speaker:

us. We get stuck on WhatsApp, especially with all the texting and the voice memos

Speaker:

and everything that goes through. The client demands, the vendor demands, all

Speaker:

of these things is part of the grind. So we have to, as

Speaker:

business owners, set aside that time to say,

Speaker:

I love you, I appreciate you, but go away for an hour. I have to

Speaker:

work on growing my business. Right, because you cannot get wrapped up

Speaker:

in the cycle of the grind because that is where growth

Speaker:

gets stuck. That is where people get stuck, is they just

Speaker:

get in this cycle that they cannot get out of. All

Speaker:

right? So having an identifying your money making

Speaker:

activities and giving yourself the grace to say, I only have to do them once

Speaker:

a week. Once a week. I know I'm

Speaker:

like blowing your mind right now because every other coach has told you, you have

Speaker:

to do these things every single day. You know, your daily ipas,

Speaker:

your daily this, your daily that. No, you don't. That is where

Speaker:

people get stuck. That's where people shut down. That is where people fall off the

Speaker:

rails because it's not realistic to do these

Speaker:

things every single day because every day they roll into

Speaker:

each other, right? Like, you send DM's, you start conversations.

Speaker:

Those conversations keep going. So you can't be starting

Speaker:

conversations every single day because after a while

Speaker:

you're at capacity. And also, if you have clients

Speaker:

and you're busy and you're executing and you're trying to maintain your

Speaker:

client relationships, right? Like, you cannot be

Speaker:

having these DM conversations or following up or doing that every single

Speaker:

day, all day and still actually maintaining and running the

Speaker:

business, right? So this is the balance. The happy

Speaker:

medium where growth happens, where you start to

Speaker:

see the results is finding the balance and giving yourself the

Speaker:

priority to focus on these activities and shut everything

Speaker:

else off for the world. Okay? So

Speaker:

identify your money making activities. Send them to me if you

Speaker:

want. If you want some. A little accountability, please, Michelle, at Michelled

Speaker:

nyo.com. Send them over to me and tell

Speaker:

me when you're going to schedule them in. Right. If you need help and

Speaker:

you want that co working, you want that accountability, sign up for money

Speaker:

Mondays. It's $9, $9 a month.

Speaker:

Right? Like literally, I just put a small price tag on it just for

Speaker:

the skin in the game, but it's really just me holding

Speaker:

space for you and giving you the trackers.

Speaker:

So find the time in your calendar. Maybe Mondays

Speaker:

doesn't work. Mondays at noon, maybe that doesn't noon eastern, maybe that

Speaker:

doesn't work for you. So schedule the time. Go find an accountability buddy. Right?

Speaker:

Whatever. If you need to do whatever it is, prioritize it and get it

Speaker:

scheduled, execute them. Don't just

Speaker:

schedule it, actually execute.

Speaker:

Execute those actions. Right. Don't just talk about

Speaker:

it. That's another huge struggle I see is like people talk about all their big

Speaker:

ideas, but they're not actually executing. Right. And then

Speaker:

measure and track and then, because you don't want to also get stuck in a

Speaker:

cycle of doing things that actually aren't revenue generating. Maybe you don't have

Speaker:

the data to support that says, like, I know if I book

Speaker:

ten coffee chats, I will book this many clients. Maybe you don't have

Speaker:

that data to understand the conversion. So this is where tracking is going to

Speaker:

become really, really important for you because you may have to shift

Speaker:

or switch what you're actually doing to be

Speaker:

sure that they are revenue generating. Okay? And that's

Speaker:

okay too. The in different seasons of your business, in different

Speaker:

launch periods, in different promotional periods, your money making actions should

Speaker:

change. And that's very healthy, very normal. So also

Speaker:

being very aware of what season you're in and what season your

Speaker:

business is in and what season your clients are in so that you can adapt

Speaker:

your money making activities to where they're at and where

Speaker:

you're at in your business. Okay, so I hope this was helpful. You have

Speaker:

your step by step plan. Go take action. Again, don't just listen,

Speaker:

go take action. If you need help, you know how to find me. If you

Speaker:

want help identifying these things, I highly

Speaker:

recommend the focus visionary strategic reset.

Speaker:

Speaker:

activities. It's $197. It's on demand. It's available to you

Speaker:

whenever you can. Go through it at your own pace. You have access to everything

Speaker:

for life. I highly recommend that if you're struggling

Speaker:

or just reach out to me if you if you need a little bit further

Speaker:

assistance. But schedule this time and prioritize

Speaker:

them. I cannot stress that enough. I've said it at least 20 times in

Speaker:

this episode, and I will say it another 20 times if I have to

Speaker:

prioritize the money making activities, but get very

Speaker:

specific on what those money making activities are. Okay? I love

Speaker:

you. I believe in you. Until next time. We'll talk soon.

Speaker:

Speaker:
