Speaker:

Hello, ladies.

Speaker:

Welcome to this week's

Speaker:

episode of the Hourly to

Speaker:

Exit podcast.

Speaker:

I am very excited for

Speaker:

this week's guest,

Speaker:

Judy Weber.

Speaker:

Welcome, Judy.

Speaker:

Thank you, Erin.

Speaker:

I've been looking forward

Speaker:

to this all

Speaker:

week.

Speaker:

Yeah, it has been.

Speaker:

We've had so many

Speaker:

conversations.

Speaker:

I'm so glad.

Speaker:

We're finally getting you on

Speaker:

the podcast.

Speaker:

Cause this is a great

Speaker:

conversation for us to have.

Speaker:

we serve a similar

Speaker:

audience and similar stage

Speaker:

of business.

Speaker:

So I think we'll get a

Speaker:

lot out of our conversation

Speaker:

before we get started there.

Speaker:

Would you introduce

Speaker:

yourself to

Speaker:

the audience?

Speaker:

Sure.

Speaker:

I am Judy Weber and I

Speaker:

am a scaling strategist and

Speaker:

business coach for Christian

Speaker:

women.

Speaker:

And I'm on mission to

Speaker:

normalize miraculous

Speaker:

results for Christian women

Speaker:

in business.

Speaker:

And so it's an honor to be

Speaker:

here and impart these pearls of

Speaker:

wisdom that the Lord downloaded

Speaker:

to me.

Speaker:

And I love it.

Speaker:

I love that we were both

Speaker:

attorneys.

Speaker:

So I know we're going

Speaker:

to be talking about that.

Speaker:

We are going to start right out

Speaker:

of the gate, Aaron, and say

Speaker:

that I think law school is

Speaker:

a beautiful.

Speaker:

precursor to entrepreneurship.

Speaker:

So I'm happy to talk

Speaker:

about that.

Speaker:

Yeah, well, that

Speaker:

is what we can start there.

Speaker:

and I will say, as everyone

Speaker:

can tell, and we'll talk

Speaker:

about this, your offers

Speaker:

as well, that Judy is a very

Speaker:

joyful person.

Speaker:

it'll come up again and

Speaker:

again, as we have our

Speaker:

conversations, it is so

Speaker:

apparent right off the top.

Speaker:

And so it's funny that

Speaker:

you mentioned that about.

Speaker:

law school, because so many

Speaker:

lawyers come out without

Speaker:

a single entrepreneurial

Speaker:

bone in our bodies.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

And the way we bill

Speaker:

still, I mean, who is the

Speaker:

dinosaur of.

Speaker:

unscalable business model,

Speaker:

like who's kind of hanging

Speaker:

in there.

Speaker:

Blackberry of the business

Speaker:

models, right?

Speaker:

We love our Blackberries

Speaker:

and we love our hourly billing.

Speaker:

I love my Blackberry.

Speaker:

Please come back.

Speaker:

Oh, I love my Blackberry.

Speaker:

I mean, I probably had

Speaker:

the last one.

Speaker:

I have a friend, law

Speaker:

school friend, and she bought

Speaker:

multiple ones.

Speaker:

And she would just like go,

Speaker:

she had her guy who would just

Speaker:

keep patching the same one.

Speaker:

Together until finally, like,

Speaker:

it was just not being supported

Speaker:

anymore.

Speaker:

I mean, it's not, I'd have

Speaker:

had the last black bear in

Speaker:

the country, I think.

Speaker:

Yeah, but yeah,

Speaker:

you have made the switch

Speaker:

completely.

Speaker:

I think from lawyer to

Speaker:

entrepreneur, I am kind of

Speaker:

in the middle.

Speaker:

And yeah, tell us about your

Speaker:

journey from kind of making

Speaker:

that switch.

Speaker:

just want to say that and

Speaker:

I teach my clients this.

Speaker:

I say, you know what in

Speaker:

law school and 20 years as a

Speaker:

trial lawyer, I learned

Speaker:

how to think strategically

Speaker:

to win.

Speaker:

And that is at the very

Speaker:

backbone of success and

Speaker:

entrepreneurship where You

Speaker:

could think about 1000

Speaker:

things, but you zero in on

Speaker:

what matters.

Speaker:

I remember in the courtroom,

Speaker:

one of the first things

Speaker:

I'm such a detail oriented

Speaker:

person, Aaron, that, I think

Speaker:

I, I struggled a little bit

Speaker:

as a trial lawyer because

Speaker:

I was thinking of, but wait,

Speaker:

what about this factor?

Speaker:

What about this?

Speaker:

Thing and then finally the

Speaker:

it dawned on me that, okay,

Speaker:

you're an advocate Jude.

Speaker:

So yeah, these are some

Speaker:

bad facts.

Speaker:

How can we minimize

Speaker:

those and the great facts?

Speaker:

How can we, highlight

Speaker:

those?

Speaker:

And so the same thing here in

Speaker:

entrepreneurship where it's

Speaker:

like, once you understand

Speaker:

where you need to focus.

Speaker:

hint, hint, the gurus take you

Speaker:

of track, okay?

Speaker:

they say, you need to do

Speaker:

a thousand things, and

Speaker:

right out of the gate, you

Speaker:

need to be in a thousand

Speaker:

different places.

Speaker:

and so you're like spinning

Speaker:

your wheels, and woo hoo

Speaker:

hoo, and you're all

Speaker:

by yourself.

Speaker:

A solopreneur in the

Speaker:

beginning, and you're like,

Speaker:

wait, what?

Speaker:

So, I'm here to tell you

Speaker:

website's not important.

Speaker:

in the beginning,

Speaker:

you don't have to be

Speaker:

in a thousand places.

Speaker:

right from the beginning.

Speaker:

I developed what I call a

Speaker:

sophisticatedly simple business

Speaker:

model built on the 1, 1,

Speaker:

1 principle.

Speaker:

And that is 1 offer.

Speaker:

That's your 100 K offer.

Speaker:

That could be your 7 figure

Speaker:

offer and you have 1 best

Speaker:

client and you give them 1 big

Speaker:

transformation.

Speaker:

And that is really where we

Speaker:

need to focus.

Speaker:

So we think strategically

Speaker:

to win.

Speaker:

What is my best client

Speaker:

need 1st?

Speaker:

Who the heck are they?

Speaker:

What do they need?

Speaker:

What are their problems?

Speaker:

And how am I going to

Speaker:

solve them?

Speaker:

So the way I think is

Speaker:

exactly what we learned in

Speaker:

law school.

Speaker:

Aaron.

Speaker:

Wow,

Speaker:

that is amazing.

Speaker:

That is great.

Speaker:

I love that.

Speaker:

Well, what are the things

Speaker:

that you mentioned was,

Speaker:

that websites are important

Speaker:

and doing all the things.

Speaker:

I mean, it brought to

Speaker:

mind, whether or not you're

Speaker:

in your zone of genius versus

Speaker:

in your zone of competence

Speaker:

versus your zone of

Speaker:

incompetence.

Speaker:

And I think when we're

Speaker:

soloist.

Speaker:

Especially we spend a lot of

Speaker:

time outside of our zone of

Speaker:

genius, right?

Speaker:

Because, for me personally, I'm

Speaker:

not a marketer.

Speaker:

So when I'm doing marketing

Speaker:

stuff, I'm not in my zone

Speaker:

of genius, unless it's,

Speaker:

you sharing my expertise.

Speaker:

But if I'm trying to

Speaker:

figure out how to work

Speaker:

LinkedIn, I'm trying to

Speaker:

figure out, my newsletter,

Speaker:

cadence and things

Speaker:

like that.

Speaker:

I'm a hundred percent in

Speaker:

my zone of incompetence.

Speaker:

And so figuring out how to

Speaker:

kind of do that one thing.

Speaker:

That's the most important thing

Speaker:

is challenge for all of us.

Speaker:

Honestly.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

But can I say something

Speaker:

in love?

Speaker:

I'm going to coach you

Speaker:

right here on the spot.

Speaker:

Can we do that?

Speaker:

Yes,

Speaker:

please.

Speaker:

I always think of these as

Speaker:

a free free coaching.

Speaker:

That's why I love doing it.

Speaker:

But

Speaker:

here I am to serve.

Speaker:

So I'm going to serve you

Speaker:

up and that's going to serve

Speaker:

everybody listening.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

So you said I'm not a marketer.

Speaker:

And so I used to think that

Speaker:

too, and I have many

Speaker:

clients that say, I'm not

Speaker:

a salesperson.

Speaker:

Don't you dare call me

Speaker:

a salesperson, but hang on a

Speaker:

second, what we think about is

Speaker:

what we become.

Speaker:

And so the thought I'm

Speaker:

in my zone of incompetence

Speaker:

while I appreciate

Speaker:

the concept.

Speaker:

And I think that's like a

Speaker:

sophisticated, like a smart

Speaker:

brain came up with that.

Speaker:

You right.

Speaker:

But that doesn't serve

Speaker:

you to say that you're in

Speaker:

your zone of incompetence.

Speaker:

How about we switch it

Speaker:

around and say, you know what?

Speaker:

I'm growing.

Speaker:

As a marketer every day,

Speaker:

because we need,

Speaker:

especially as a solopreneur, we

Speaker:

need to learn how to market.

Speaker:

We need to learn how

Speaker:

to sell.

Speaker:

it's like you're smart.

Speaker:

You know how to market.

Speaker:

It's just that we don't

Speaker:

have maybe the focus.

Speaker:

We don't know where to focus

Speaker:

because we have this person

Speaker:

over here saying you got

Speaker:

to do this.

Speaker:

And then we have this

Speaker:

person over here saying we

Speaker:

got to do that.

Speaker:

And we're, as you say, trying

Speaker:

to figure it out on our

Speaker:

own, that's the value of a

Speaker:

coach to say, I've got this

Speaker:

process and jump in and you

Speaker:

won't be having to, get on

Speaker:

that treadmill, like, and tire

Speaker:

yourself out to exhaustion.

Speaker:

Last thing I'll say to

Speaker:

wrap all this up, this is

Speaker:

going to be the nugget of gold.

Speaker:

If you get nothing else

Speaker:

out of this episode, ladies

Speaker:

listening, this is what it is.

Speaker:

Success.

Speaker:

Is a result of who you believe

Speaker:

yourself to be, and I'll

Speaker:

tell you as a smarty pants,

Speaker:

and I don't mean to tote

Speaker:

myself up, but I was always

Speaker:

the one top of the class.

Speaker:

I didn't graduate number

Speaker:

1, but I was always in

Speaker:

the top 10.

Speaker:

I wanted to Excel.

Speaker:

I studied my butt off and I

Speaker:

was a straight a student, but

Speaker:

as I thought about it,

Speaker:

it's probably only because

Speaker:

I consider myself to be

Speaker:

a straight a student.

Speaker:

I was scared when I went

Speaker:

to law school.

Speaker:

I said, oh, my gosh, I've

Speaker:

been a straight a student.

Speaker:

I don't know that I'll get

Speaker:

a law review in at Villanova,

Speaker:

but I did by God's grace.

Speaker:

But when you believe that

Speaker:

you are a six figure

Speaker:

entrepreneur.

Speaker:

Or a seven figure

Speaker:

entrepreneur, and it feels

Speaker:

really where the first time

Speaker:

I heard that I hated it.

Speaker:

They're like, pretend you

Speaker:

are or think like she does.

Speaker:

I'm like, I don't know what

Speaker:

that means, but I'm here to

Speaker:

tell you that the how isn't

Speaker:

as important as the who,

Speaker:

who am I?

Speaker:

And you are an expert.

Speaker:

You may not be an expert

Speaker:

CEO yet.

Speaker:

But you're on your way

Speaker:

to that.

Speaker:

So like, keep the eye on

Speaker:

kind of where you're going.

Speaker:

Very nice.

Speaker:

I like that.

Speaker:

Thank you for that.

Speaker:

I needed that coaching.

Speaker:

I will just check not

Speaker:

in the mail.

Speaker:

Thank you for the free,

Speaker:

coaching.

Speaker:

I mean, can I just,

Speaker:

like that?

Speaker:

That was kind of like a

Speaker:

monologue, but the coaching

Speaker:

would be what do you feel

Speaker:

when you say I'm not in my

Speaker:

zone of genius as a marketer?

Speaker:

Like, What is the feeling

Speaker:

for that?

Speaker:

Well, I do, by the way, I

Speaker:

did not come up with that.

Speaker:

There's a author named

Speaker:

first name gay.

Speaker:

I can't remember the

Speaker:

last name, but, I feel

Speaker:

like it's not my highest

Speaker:

and best use that is what

Speaker:

I do feel.

Speaker:

I feel like there's

Speaker:

somebody else who could do

Speaker:

this better, faster, more

Speaker:

effectively than I can.

Speaker:

and that let me stay in

Speaker:

my lane of talking about.

Speaker:

copyrights and contracts.

Speaker:

That's

Speaker:

what's fun about what

Speaker:

you said.

Speaker:

Those are, for the most

Speaker:

part, thoughts, not feelings.

Speaker:

Your thought is somebody else.

Speaker:

Can do this better.

Speaker:

and I'm here to tell you that

Speaker:

nobody knows your business

Speaker:

like you do.

Speaker:

Nobody knows your best

Speaker:

client like you do.

Speaker:

So I will say that's like a

Speaker:

thought error.

Speaker:

But what's the feeling

Speaker:

like, if I would think

Speaker:

to myself, I'm not a marketer.

Speaker:

And if I were about to do

Speaker:

marketing, I would feel like

Speaker:

unqualified.

Speaker:

Confused is that yeah,

Speaker:

I would

Speaker:

say overwhelmed wouldn't be

Speaker:

the word for it, but kind of

Speaker:

treading water.

Speaker:

Maybe like, I'm never quite

Speaker:

getting ahead.

Speaker:

Like, I'm not.

Speaker:

Moving forward with it.

Speaker:

It's just like, okay, I'm

Speaker:

getting this done this week.

Speaker:

And the next week

Speaker:

I'm getting that done.

Speaker:

And, but it's always here.

Speaker:

I am at starting line

Speaker:

to get it done.

Speaker:

Like, what do I have

Speaker:

to get done?

Speaker:

I got to write the newsletter.

Speaker:

I got to get them, you know,

Speaker:

like, I always feel like I'm

Speaker:

just starting

Speaker:

over like, yeah, and

Speaker:

that's another thing.

Speaker:

I'm just starting

Speaker:

over again.

Speaker:

That's a horrible

Speaker:

thought as opposed to,

Speaker:

you know, so again, I don't

Speaker:

have to belabor this, , but I

Speaker:

have a faith fuel thought

Speaker:

process.

Speaker:

And if anybody listening wants

Speaker:

it and Aaron, if you want it.

Speaker:

reach out to me on, Facebook,

Speaker:

LinkedIn at Judy Weber co.

Speaker:

And I will send you my training

Speaker:

on my faith field thought

Speaker:

model, because this is where

Speaker:

we grab hold of our thoughts

Speaker:

and hold them captive so

Speaker:

we can really examine them.

Speaker:

And, what we find is that

Speaker:

these thoughts that keep

Speaker:

going through our mind often

Speaker:

are lies, often lies.

Speaker:

We accept them as true and

Speaker:

as fact, but we have to

Speaker:

examine them when we get to

Speaker:

the truth of who you are.

Speaker:

I don't feel like I'm not

Speaker:

smart, but I feel like,

Speaker:

is this how

Speaker:

I should be, or something

Speaker:

like to have a strategy,

Speaker:

right.

Speaker:

And then to execute it,

Speaker:

how much of that should

Speaker:

be me versus somebody else.

Speaker:

Like there's someone who is.

Speaker:

Less expensive than me, but,

Speaker:

put it that way than me

Speaker:

to be project managing some

Speaker:

of these things to get and

Speaker:

I would say,

Speaker:

yes, you get to a

Speaker:

certain point.

Speaker:

The last thing I'll say this,

Speaker:

I think this is really valuable

Speaker:

for everybody listening that

Speaker:

I may differ from a bunch

Speaker:

of business coaches

Speaker:

out there.

Speaker:

But I think in the beginning,

Speaker:

when you're in the trenches,

Speaker:

the clarity.

Speaker:

that only you through

Speaker:

power thinking there's the

Speaker:

lawyer sitting and thinking,

Speaker:

the clarity you get as to

Speaker:

who your best client is.

Speaker:

Only you can really get

Speaker:

to the depth beyond on the

Speaker:

superficial level.

Speaker:

She's a bop, bop, bop.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

But what problems is

Speaker:

she dealing with right now?

Speaker:

How does she think?

Speaker:

What does she think about you

Speaker:

as an expert and your whole

Speaker:

industry and, what is she

Speaker:

really looking to solve all

Speaker:

those things?

Speaker:

So, if you want that faith

Speaker:

field thought model, that

Speaker:

is the key.

Speaker:

I will tell you mindset.

Speaker:

I poo pooed it for years,

Speaker:

Aaron, and it slowed me down.

Speaker:

I'm like, look, I'm a doer.

Speaker:

So yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker:

La la la.

Speaker:

What I think about

Speaker:

who cares?

Speaker:

I want to get it done.

Speaker:

And when I finally slowed

Speaker:

down and listen to the coach, I

Speaker:

invested over a quarter million

Speaker:

dollars in the last 7 years

Speaker:

in coaching.

Speaker:

So, let me tell you, I

Speaker:

don't look at it as a waste.

Speaker:

I grew so much, but it's

Speaker:

the mindset.

Speaker:

That's going to be whoo.

Speaker:

It's going to take you

Speaker:

to a whole new places.

Speaker:

Aaron.

Speaker:

Oh, very nice.

Speaker:

Very nice.

Speaker:

Yeah, I do agree that,

Speaker:

all the conversations

Speaker:

that I have, I like, I do

Speaker:

consider myself a salesperson.

Speaker:

So that is the one thing

Speaker:

like, which I, different than

Speaker:

a marketer.

Speaker:

I absolutely consider myself

Speaker:

my sales, best that I am the

Speaker:

salesperson, all the

Speaker:

conversations that I have,

Speaker:

I learned something

Speaker:

from every single sales

Speaker:

conversation, whichever

Speaker:

way it goes.

Speaker:

And so that's, yeah.

Speaker:

100 percent me.

Speaker:

but thank you for that.

Speaker:

I do think that'd be very

Speaker:

valuable and I absolutely

Speaker:

do think it's something that,

Speaker:

we all struggle with, that how

Speaker:

to like, where should our,

Speaker:

time attention resources to

Speaker:

be the most efficient.

Speaker:

So, well, that brings

Speaker:

me to, I mean, apparently

Speaker:

I am your, target client.

Speaker:

So who do you work

Speaker:

with mostly?

Speaker:

Why do they come to you?

Speaker:

What pain are they feeling

Speaker:

that they go?

Speaker:

I need to

Speaker:

go see Judy.

Speaker:

So good.

Speaker:

Now I live my talk.

Speaker:

I walk my talk.

Speaker:

So earlier I mentioned my

Speaker:

sophisticatedly simple business

Speaker:

model built on the one, one,

Speaker:

one principle.

Speaker:

Well, initially, yes,

Speaker:

one offer, but guess what?

Speaker:

At this stage approaching

Speaker:

seven figures, I have two.

Speaker:

So I have my joyful

Speaker:

six figures accelerator

Speaker:

helping women get to

Speaker:

their first 100 K year.

Speaker:

And then I work with other

Speaker:

ladies at six or multi six

Speaker:

to get toward the seven.

Speaker:

That's my joyful scaling

Speaker:

mastermind.

Speaker:

So the pain points for the.

Speaker:

Joyful six figures.

Speaker:

Accelerator is exactly what

Speaker:

we're talking about here.

Speaker:

I'm smart.

Speaker:

I've been an expert.

Speaker:

I'm a professional,

Speaker:

or I've been a corporate

Speaker:

person.

Speaker:

I've got expertise.

Speaker:

And now I want to say bye bye

Speaker:

to working for somebody else

Speaker:

and jump into entrepreneurship.

Speaker:

And I know I thought the

Speaker:

transition would be

Speaker:

super easy and it wasn't.

Speaker:

For some of the reasons we just

Speaker:

talked about.

Speaker:

So, that's their pain.

Speaker:

And my solution is through

Speaker:

my three step process.

Speaker:

It's simple three steps

Speaker:

where it's focused and

Speaker:

I'll tell you what they are.

Speaker:

First step is the right offer

Speaker:

framework.

Speaker:

Create your 100 K offer, making

Speaker:

three simple decisions.

Speaker:

And that's it.

Speaker:

but that's where we go.

Speaker:

And it's your best client.

Speaker:

Decide who that is very

Speaker:

clearly, very specifically.

Speaker:

Next is what's the

Speaker:

transformation you're going

Speaker:

to provide?

Speaker:

The major transformation.

Speaker:

And third, what is the

Speaker:

container?

Speaker:

Like the price?

Speaker:

How long is it?

Speaker:

And kind of how is delivery?

Speaker:

That's step one, the

Speaker:

100k offer.

Speaker:

Everything flows

Speaker:

from that.

Speaker:

Then the next is joy infused

Speaker:

marketing.

Speaker:

Marketing should be fun.

Speaker:

It shouldn't be a drudgery

Speaker:

and when we're staying

Speaker:

focused, it can be.

Speaker:

And then the 3rd part

Speaker:

is ethical selling.

Speaker:

And I just talked last

Speaker:

week on my joyful business

Speaker:

workshop.

Speaker:

I talked about how it

Speaker:

is, servant leadership

Speaker:

intersects with buyer

Speaker:

psychology to really do

Speaker:

selling in a way that

Speaker:

feels good.

Speaker:

So 1st 100 K.

Speaker:

Briefly, my mastermind

Speaker:

are for those already there.

Speaker:

And so there we focus on the

Speaker:

breakthrough strategy is the

Speaker:

first scaling strategy.

Speaker:

So we're really looking at

Speaker:

the marketing and the sales

Speaker:

and delivery to refine

Speaker:

everything that they have

Speaker:

going on to make sure that

Speaker:

you're ready to really scale,

Speaker:

meaning you're not necessarily

Speaker:

selling one to one at

Speaker:

that level.

Speaker:

You're selling one to many,

Speaker:

it's a little bit of a

Speaker:

different selling.

Speaker:

and then the second scaling

Speaker:

strategy is ops.

Speaker:

Operations, so we look at

Speaker:

team, we look at automation

Speaker:

and we look at and then the

Speaker:

3rd scaling strategy

Speaker:

is profit.

Speaker:

See, everybody talks about

Speaker:

revenue.

Speaker:

I know some 7 figure

Speaker:

businesses and their profit is

Speaker:

in the gutter.

Speaker:

It's like nowhere.

Speaker:

They have cash flow problems

Speaker:

all the time.

Speaker:

So we look at the numbers

Speaker:

and not just the dollars.

Speaker:

We look at, client results.

Speaker:

If your clients aren't getting

Speaker:

results, who's going to talk

Speaker:

well about you?

Speaker:

Nobody.

Speaker:

So we look at the numbers.

Speaker:

We have a strategic

Speaker:

planning, both short term

Speaker:

and long term.

Speaker:

And we have initiatives

Speaker:

that have to be put in

Speaker:

place in order to continue

Speaker:

to fuel the revenue that

Speaker:

are coming in.

Speaker:

So briefly, that's who

Speaker:

I work with.

Speaker:

Those are 2 different.

Speaker:

Avatars are they that yes.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

So you started, which 1 did

Speaker:

you start with and how did you

Speaker:

add the 2nd?

Speaker:

Yeah, I will tell you, I

Speaker:

started with the mastermind

Speaker:

because you may have heard

Speaker:

of my podcast that I hired

Speaker:

a 75, 000 dollar coach

Speaker:

and she's like, start high.

Speaker:

Not low and I get that, but

Speaker:

I will tell you that my

Speaker:

accelerator look, there's

Speaker:

more women getting to

Speaker:

their first 100 K than there

Speaker:

are women that are approaching

Speaker:

seven figures.

Speaker:

So I've decided because I get

Speaker:

to as CEOs, we get to decide.

Speaker:

I've decided that I'm

Speaker:

focusing on the accelerator

Speaker:

more, going into 2024,

Speaker:

because there's so much of a

Speaker:

need there.

Speaker:

And when my clients there

Speaker:

get results, then they

Speaker:

graduate up to the mastermind.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

And so do you fish in the

Speaker:

same swimming hall for both

Speaker:

programs?

Speaker:

Yeah, it is basically the

Speaker:

woman, she's a different

Speaker:

stage in her business.

Speaker:

She's smart like you

Speaker:

and me.

Speaker:

She's a go getter.

Speaker:

She's not afraid of

Speaker:

hard work, but she's tired.

Speaker:

I tend to attract women

Speaker:

in their forties and

Speaker:

fifties and a little bit in

Speaker:

their sixties, because that's

Speaker:

who I am.

Speaker:

And so they kind of

Speaker:

resonate as opposed

Speaker:

to hiring a business coach

Speaker:

that shows her, It'll

Speaker:

be, you know, hanging out

Speaker:

in her bikini, you know?

Speaker:

So yeah, I would say

Speaker:

generally it is, fishing in

Speaker:

the same ponds.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Excellent.

Speaker:

Excellent.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

So one of the things I noted

Speaker:

that you talk about building

Speaker:

a sustainable business.

Speaker:

And so sustainable is

Speaker:

I think we all have different

Speaker:

definitions of that term.

Speaker:

What does it mean for you

Speaker:

and how do you help your

Speaker:

clients build a sustainable

Speaker:

business?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I mean, whether you're.

Speaker:

Again, in the earlier stages,

Speaker:

getting to that first

Speaker:

100 K or you are beyond it.

Speaker:

Now you're ready to scale

Speaker:

and really take it big time.

Speaker:

sustainability to me is not

Speaker:

working all the time.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And so when you get past six

Speaker:

and certainly multi six,

Speaker:

you have to have a team.

Speaker:

You cannot do it alone.

Speaker:

I mean, I'd be lost if there's

Speaker:

no way I could do what I do

Speaker:

without a team, but again,

Speaker:

sophisticatedly simple

Speaker:

business.

Speaker:

I do not want 5 different

Speaker:

departments with 30

Speaker:

different employees.

Speaker:

That's not me.

Speaker:

I have a director

Speaker:

of ops.

Speaker:

I have a social media selling,

Speaker:

strategist and I have a social

Speaker:

media, creative strategist.

Speaker:

And then I have an admin, so

Speaker:

we're a very lean team.

Speaker:

My niece is my accountant.

Speaker:

So again, there's 5

Speaker:

people on our team, but

Speaker:

you need that help in order

Speaker:

to make it something that

Speaker:

can operate without you.

Speaker:

You know, so I think, in the

Speaker:

earlier stages, sustainability

Speaker:

is about focus.

Speaker:

And clarity and later on

Speaker:

sustainability is about

Speaker:

not doing everything

Speaker:

yourself and creating

Speaker:

systems and processes so

Speaker:

that you can, like me, I'm

Speaker:

two miles from the beach so

Speaker:

you can go hang out on

Speaker:

the beach.

Speaker:

How perfect.

Speaker:

Well, speaking of building a

Speaker:

business that can operate

Speaker:

independently from you, like

Speaker:

your business is your name,

Speaker:

Judy Weber LLC right and

Speaker:

but you do have branded

Speaker:

offers, and I know a lot of

Speaker:

us as we're building our

Speaker:

businesses we struggle with.

Speaker:

what to call our businesses,

Speaker:

how closely to identify

Speaker:

it with us, if we ever

Speaker:

want to get to the point

Speaker:

where we're not doing all

Speaker:

the delivery, we're not doing

Speaker:

all the things like, do we

Speaker:

name it after ourselves?

Speaker:

Do we have this great

Speaker:

trademark name that we have?

Speaker:

Like, how do you advise

Speaker:

people to think about,

Speaker:

you know, I don't

Speaker:

know that.

Speaker:

A client has directly

Speaker:

asked me that question.

Speaker:

So that's so good.

Speaker:

I mean, I have thought

Speaker:

about it.

Speaker:

for me right now, I mean,

Speaker:

I'm 58 if this was 20 years

Speaker:

ago, or even 10 years ago.

Speaker:

I might think about changing

Speaker:

the name of the LLC, but

Speaker:

even what I'm creating right

Speaker:

now, it could be saleable

Speaker:

because of the brand.

Speaker:

Messaging behind it so

Speaker:

that Judy Weber is the face

Speaker:

of it right now, but there

Speaker:

is like, a mission and a

Speaker:

movement behind what I do.

Speaker:

but to your point, the

Speaker:

programs.

Speaker:

Definitely need to be results

Speaker:

oriented and really speak

Speaker:

to, on an intellectual

Speaker:

and an emotional

Speaker:

level.

Speaker:

It needs to speak to your

Speaker:

best client.

Speaker:

I know so many times we

Speaker:

grapple over that, but

Speaker:

it's so funny because what

Speaker:

I've learned from coaching,

Speaker:

the coach that taught me the

Speaker:

most with the whole mindset

Speaker:

thing is that, you know, what

Speaker:

you need to fall in love.

Speaker:

With your program and

Speaker:

you could call it Jack's

Speaker:

brat, or you could call it

Speaker:

something else.

Speaker:

Like, like, really it's you

Speaker:

and your belief about it.

Speaker:

And the way you talk about

Speaker:

it matters more than,

Speaker:

calling it something cute

Speaker:

and creative.

Speaker:

So sometimes cute and

Speaker:

creative can cause

Speaker:

confusion, which is not

Speaker:

a good thing.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

That's definitely

Speaker:

something that many of us

Speaker:

learn the hard way, like,

Speaker:

that's very clever, except

Speaker:

I have no idea what you're

Speaker:

talking about.

Speaker:

That's definitely

Speaker:

not the goal.

Speaker:

Yeah, I agree with that.

Speaker:

And so mentioned

Speaker:

systems and processes

Speaker:

and SOPs, you you're

Speaker:

speaking my language here.

Speaker:

I like to help people

Speaker:

turn that expertise into

Speaker:

intellectual property assets

Speaker:

so they can create that

Speaker:

independence.

Speaker:

when you're working with

Speaker:

your clients, like, are

Speaker:

you working with them on

Speaker:

those things?

Speaker:

What kind of questions

Speaker:

are they asking you?

Speaker:

Yeah, I always am talking

Speaker:

with ladies.

Speaker:

Some of my ladies have

Speaker:

committed the accelerator.

Speaker:

They're at 50, 60, 70,

Speaker:

000 and they have an offer.

Speaker:

They just wanted to

Speaker:

refine it.

Speaker:

But a lot come in in the

Speaker:

earlier stage.

Speaker:

Some that just joined

Speaker:

in, they're basically

Speaker:

just opening their doors.

Speaker:

And I say to them, and it

Speaker:

blows their mind, what is

Speaker:

your method?

Speaker:

Even if you're one on one.

Speaker:

You have a method.

Speaker:

What is it?

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

I don't really accept that

Speaker:

as an answer in love.

Speaker:

I smile and I say, you do

Speaker:

know you get your client's

Speaker:

results, right?

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

So how do you do that?

Speaker:

Here's where they are

Speaker:

when they come in and

Speaker:

they may come in slightly

Speaker:

different points, right?

Speaker:

Like I just said, my

Speaker:

accelerator, sometimes

Speaker:

they come in brand new.

Speaker:

Sometimes they come in three

Speaker:

years into the business

Speaker:

and it's just not working,

Speaker:

whatever, but generally

Speaker:

speaking, are they coming in?

Speaker:

And what's there before

Speaker:

and then what's there after

Speaker:

and then what are you doing

Speaker:

to get them from point A

Speaker:

to point Z?

Speaker:

And so, I make them power

Speaker:

think and they said they

Speaker:

hate it in the beginning.

Speaker:

Sometimes there's

Speaker:

some like resistance,

Speaker:

but then when I say,

Speaker:

okay, great.

Speaker:

And what tools and what cool

Speaker:

name can we call that?

Speaker:

Protocol or that process,

Speaker:

so that it becomes unique

Speaker:

and here's the fun thing.

Speaker:

I just want to say, and I

Speaker:

know, you know, this, but can't

Speaker:

say this enough in the Bible.

Speaker:

It says there's nothing new

Speaker:

under the sun.

Speaker:

And that's so true.

Speaker:

And can I just tell everybody

Speaker:

out there, there's really

Speaker:

not much new in business.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Because basic business

Speaker:

principles are from the

Speaker:

beginning of time till the

Speaker:

end of time, but how you

Speaker:

put it together is, what makes

Speaker:

you unique.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

So, could there be other

Speaker:

programs that kind of follow

Speaker:

my process?

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

But they're not called

Speaker:

the joyful six figures

Speaker:

accelerator.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

So really, I encourage

Speaker:

everybody listening to

Speaker:

think about your process,

Speaker:

because whether you officially

Speaker:

trademark it right away, or

Speaker:

you think in those terms,

Speaker:

you're going to stand out when

Speaker:

you say I have a methodology

Speaker:

that nobody else can offer.

Speaker:

And here's what it is.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So many, people will ask about

Speaker:

the protecting their

Speaker:

methodologies and wondering

Speaker:

if it has to be completely

Speaker:

unique, you as a question

Speaker:

came up during a workshop I

Speaker:

had a couple of weeks

Speaker:

ago, like, well, what

Speaker:

is original?

Speaker:

What does that mean?

Speaker:

it doesn't mean it's like,

Speaker:

This thing that nobody

Speaker:

ever thought of ever before.

Speaker:

Like, Oh my God, you mind

Speaker:

blowingly innovative.

Speaker:

It just means it's your

Speaker:

own original expression

Speaker:

about, it could be the

Speaker:

same old tired ideas, frankly,

Speaker:

because as you mentioned,

Speaker:

there are no new ideas, but

Speaker:

how we filter them and how we

Speaker:

use those ideas to deliver

Speaker:

results for our clients.

Speaker:

That is original to us.

Speaker:

If which.

Speaker:

From us with our own, unique

Speaker:

spin to it.

Speaker:

My unique, I just mean

Speaker:

not copied from somebody

Speaker:

else that then that is

Speaker:

how we create that one.

Speaker:

We create new assets that

Speaker:

we can protect hopefully with

Speaker:

copyrights and we helped

Speaker:

to create our unique

Speaker:

positioning and our brand

Speaker:

and so you have to have

Speaker:

something that distinguishes

Speaker:

you from.

Speaker:

all the other leadership

Speaker:

people or HR people.

Speaker:

And so I kept finding that,

Speaker:

original way to express maybe

Speaker:

some of the same ideas.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Can I say something

Speaker:

on that?

Speaker:

I, as a lawyer, and I just

Speaker:

thought about this just this

Speaker:

week, Aaron, I consider myself

Speaker:

unconventional and I kind

Speaker:

of pushed the needle on

Speaker:

things even before I became

Speaker:

a lawyer.

Speaker:

So I think that totally fits

Speaker:

my personality.

Speaker:

But as I thought about

Speaker:

it, I'm like, am I a rule

Speaker:

follower?

Speaker:

I guess I love taking risks.

Speaker:

I come from poor, so I

Speaker:

had to, in order to, get

Speaker:

anywhere close to where I am.

Speaker:

But I just want to encourage

Speaker:

the women listening.

Speaker:

Don't be so afraid of

Speaker:

being sued.

Speaker:

like, in the way of

Speaker:

trademark copywriting,

Speaker:

you need somebody like

Speaker:

Aaron that's going to advise

Speaker:

you because there are some

Speaker:

wrinkles that you need to

Speaker:

be aware of to be safe

Speaker:

and all that.

Speaker:

But I see too much times

Speaker:

that we assume the worst.

Speaker:

We meaning too many women

Speaker:

out there that maybe aren't

Speaker:

lawyers.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

And they're just like,

Speaker:

oh, my gosh, I can't do

Speaker:

that because I don't want

Speaker:

to be sued.

Speaker:

And they just hesitate

Speaker:

so much.

Speaker:

So I encourage you to reach

Speaker:

out to Aaron with your

Speaker:

questions or another

Speaker:

professional, like if you're

Speaker:

hiring or anything like

Speaker:

that, reach out to an

Speaker:

employment lawyer, get a

Speaker:

professional and write

Speaker:

expert guidance because when

Speaker:

we operate in fear, let me

Speaker:

tell you this.

Speaker:

I'm No decision made from

Speaker:

fear is a good decision.

Speaker:

It's just not

Speaker:

do you find that that's

Speaker:

something?

Speaker:

I mean, I don't know.

Speaker:

You don't work.

Speaker:

Do you ever work with

Speaker:

men or, as a lawyer with

Speaker:

my lawyer hat?

Speaker:

Well, no, with your

Speaker:

current offers.

Speaker:

Is it all women?

Speaker:

Oh, yes.

Speaker:

It's okay.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

But I'm wondering,

Speaker:

like, generally,

Speaker:

if that is something that

Speaker:

operating Yeah.

Speaker:

With fear and being afraid

Speaker:

to take risks.

Speaker:

Is that general of fear, of

Speaker:

risks, is that something

Speaker:

that is unique to women?

Speaker:

Something that you need to

Speaker:

really kind of help them with?

Speaker:

I mean, I know men have fear

Speaker:

of risk too, , but does that

Speaker:

more come out more with your

Speaker:

female comment?

Speaker:

I think

Speaker:

so.

Speaker:

I think the Lord made us to

Speaker:

be such givers.

Speaker:

Mm-Hmm.

Speaker:

. And we just wanna serve.

Speaker:

I've never met a woman, even a

Speaker:

7 figure woman who said I was

Speaker:

in this thing for the money.

Speaker:

Like, that's why I started

Speaker:

saying I want to help.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And so they're givers.

Speaker:

And so they have this

Speaker:

heart to serve.

Speaker:

And I'll tell you, sometimes,

Speaker:

especially in Christian

Speaker:

circles, there's almost

Speaker:

like this guilt about getting

Speaker:

paid for it.

Speaker:

And I'm like, wait a minute,

Speaker:

can I just ask 1 thing?

Speaker:

Why do you not have

Speaker:

any problem?

Speaker:

And they use, they

Speaker:

don't taking a paycheck.

Speaker:

From somebody, but somehow

Speaker:

when you're charging for

Speaker:

a beautiful expertise,

Speaker:

that's helping someone.

Speaker:

Why do you have any guilt

Speaker:

around that?

Speaker:

They're getting value.

Speaker:

You're getting value.

Speaker:

You know what I mean?

Speaker:

So I think that women

Speaker:

do uniquely struggle.

Speaker:

With this idea of some

Speaker:

guilt, some shame and some

Speaker:

risk adverse.

Speaker:

tendencies, which does

Speaker:

not serve you.

Speaker:

I understand it, but that's

Speaker:

where you need the expert

Speaker:

guidance to say, okay,

Speaker:

here's where you need to

Speaker:

be careful.

Speaker:

And here's where you're

Speaker:

worrying about nothing.

Speaker:

yeah, that was a lot

Speaker:

of, the reasoning

Speaker:

behind my original hourly

Speaker:

to exit kind of structure

Speaker:

is that not thinking about

Speaker:

preparing for exit in this

Speaker:

kind of bro culture kind

Speaker:

of way of, just in it

Speaker:

for the money.

Speaker:

They're starting

Speaker:

something just immediately

Speaker:

because they just building

Speaker:

it to sell and not.

Speaker:

Serve their clients,

Speaker:

not for the impact that

Speaker:

they can have.

Speaker:

we still can be building

Speaker:

businesses.

Speaker:

maximize wealth and that's a

Speaker:

good thing.

Speaker:

It's not a dirty

Speaker:

bro thing.

Speaker:

It is a look what you can

Speaker:

do for your community.

Speaker:

Look what you can do for

Speaker:

your church, which look

Speaker:

what you do for your kids when

Speaker:

we, use our expertise to

Speaker:

create wealth.

Speaker:

And so, yeah, I agree.

Speaker:

Yeah, I totally agree

Speaker:

with that.

Speaker:

why are we feeling guilty?

Speaker:

God, here's my thing, and this

Speaker:

is going to be crazy, but I'm

Speaker:

gonna say it.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

I believe it's a sin.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

When you play small, okay,

Speaker:

there, I've said it and I

Speaker:

said before, and the 1st

Speaker:

time I said it, I kind of

Speaker:

felt funny, but the more I say

Speaker:

it, the more I believe it.

Speaker:

Why real quick, the parable of

Speaker:

the talents.

Speaker:

Go look that up.

Speaker:

Google it.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

So what happened?

Speaker:

the master who's really

Speaker:

God had given different

Speaker:

people, different

Speaker:

amounts of talents.

Speaker:

He gave somebody

Speaker:

10 talent, somebody else,

Speaker:

5 talents.

Speaker:

And the 1, he gave 1

Speaker:

talent when he came back.

Speaker:

The 1 that had 10 doubled it.

Speaker:

The 1 that had 5 doubled it.

Speaker:

The 1 that had 1.

Speaker:

He goes, oh, here it is back

Speaker:

again here.

Speaker:

He buried it.

Speaker:

And he goes, I was afraid.

Speaker:

And what did the master say?

Speaker:

Get away from you, you wicked

Speaker:

slothful.

Speaker:

It's lazy servant.

Speaker:

So to me, it's like

Speaker:

he's saying I gave you this.

Speaker:

And instead of doing the

Speaker:

scary, bold, courageous

Speaker:

thing and going out and trying

Speaker:

to make more by serving

Speaker:

and doing something with

Speaker:

the talents he's given you,

Speaker:

you buried it.

Speaker:

that's like a mindset shift.

Speaker:

The enemy would love to help

Speaker:

you believe, Oh, you better

Speaker:

sit down.

Speaker:

You better shut up.

Speaker:

You're being self ambition.

Speaker:

No, we're in this to

Speaker:

serve, really have to be

Speaker:

discerning on our motivation.

Speaker:

And if you're really have

Speaker:

a heart to serve, go out

Speaker:

there and go

Speaker:

big.

Speaker:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker:

So for many of us, it's

Speaker:

not just about the revenue

Speaker:

or the income.

Speaker:

It's also about the impact.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

And, there's only so many

Speaker:

people you can serve with

Speaker:

your one on one services.

Speaker:

So if you want to multiply

Speaker:

your impact, then you

Speaker:

need to build a scalable

Speaker:

business.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

yeah, and there's lots

Speaker:

of ways to do that, right?

Speaker:

1 to then transition

Speaker:

to group.

Speaker:

Or in what you do, certain

Speaker:

instances, you might want

Speaker:

to license and then get

Speaker:

certifications.

Speaker:

I mean, there's so

Speaker:

many different ways to scale,

Speaker:

but yeah, one to one you'll

Speaker:

tire out because your

Speaker:

calendar can only stretch

Speaker:

you so far.

Speaker:

Exactly.

Speaker:

Exactly.

Speaker:

Even now, if you don't have

Speaker:

to go on site anymore, like

Speaker:

maybe you had to before,

Speaker:

but still all that prep.

Speaker:

If you're creating

Speaker:

original materials for

Speaker:

every client, then the work

Speaker:

that goes into that.

Speaker:

And so, yeah.

Speaker:

So wonderful.

Speaker:

we're at the end of 2023 as

Speaker:

we record this.

Speaker:

So I'm wondering

Speaker:

what do you see coming

Speaker:

ahead in 2024?

Speaker:

Do you see any trends

Speaker:

that you think will either

Speaker:

accelerate in 2024 or maybe

Speaker:

there'll be some complete

Speaker:

reversals?

Speaker:

What

Speaker:

are you seeing for 2024?

Speaker:

Yeah, I think only

Speaker:

the stronger are going

Speaker:

to survive.

Speaker:

I think that specificity

Speaker:

is one of the words for me.

Speaker:

and our brand Judy Weber Co,

Speaker:

into 2024 and what I'm really

Speaker:

impressing upon my clients is

Speaker:

this idea of knowing your

Speaker:

best client.

Speaker:

so well that while everybody

Speaker:

else is saying the same thing

Speaker:

that everybody else is saying,

Speaker:

and they're going to not

Speaker:

even be heard, they're going

Speaker:

to disappear.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

And ultimately go out of

Speaker:

business.

Speaker:

I want you to go all in

Speaker:

and be bold and decide.

Speaker:

Oh, decision making is

Speaker:

the most key and critical

Speaker:

CEO skill.

Speaker:

So decide who that

Speaker:

best client is and stop

Speaker:

apologizing.

Speaker:

Oh, I can't serve

Speaker:

everybody.

Speaker:

You sure can.

Speaker:

But until you get specific,

Speaker:

nobody's going to hear it.

Speaker:

So be strong.

Speaker:

It's specificity.

Speaker:

And the other word is focus.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

If you are feeling out

Speaker:

of time, out of breath.

Speaker:

just overwhelmed

Speaker:

from what we were talking

Speaker:

about earlier, then you need

Speaker:

to, you think you won't have

Speaker:

time to, but you need to

Speaker:

slow down and strategically

Speaker:

look at what you're doing.

Speaker:

And there's that rule

Speaker:

8020, right?

Speaker:

80 percent of your revenue

Speaker:

is only coming from 20 percent

Speaker:

of what you're doing double

Speaker:

down on that.

Speaker:

20 percent 1st, in order to do

Speaker:

that, you got to identify

Speaker:

it and focus.

Speaker:

I love that.

Speaker:

I love that.

Speaker:

You know, it reminds me of,

Speaker:

in fiction, although, you

Speaker:

know, I'm 1 of these aspiring

Speaker:

great American novelists

Speaker:

someday I'll finish 1.

Speaker:

but when, you know, you're

Speaker:

Carrie in fiction, you

Speaker:

start with your characters,

Speaker:

right?

Speaker:

Because once, you know, your

Speaker:

characters really well,

Speaker:

like, What they say comes

Speaker:

naturally, like, if you

Speaker:

start the other way around,

Speaker:

it's very hard, to move the

Speaker:

story forward.

Speaker:

But when you have these

Speaker:

characters, and you understand,

Speaker:

like, what their felties

Speaker:

are, what their hopes

Speaker:

and dreams are, then it kind

Speaker:

of naturally occurs.

Speaker:

And same thing with knowing.

Speaker:

Who you're serving.

Speaker:

when you know who you're

Speaker:

serving, then you know how to

Speaker:

talk to them, what they're

Speaker:

thinking about, how

Speaker:

to help them.

Speaker:

And it makes everything

Speaker:

easier.

Speaker:

if people wonder about

Speaker:

what to write about, for

Speaker:

instance, like, Oh, I can't do

Speaker:

a newsletter.

Speaker:

Well, well, if you know your

Speaker:

client well enough, you

Speaker:

know exactly what to write

Speaker:

about because you know,

Speaker:

how you can help them.

Speaker:

So,

Speaker:

yeah.

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

can't underscore

Speaker:

that enough.

Speaker:

And just knowing who

Speaker:

the best client is and to that

Speaker:

level, what motivates them?

Speaker:

Why?

Speaker:

And then going 7 layers deep

Speaker:

real quick.

Speaker:

1 of the most powerful

Speaker:

coaching, interviews I

Speaker:

had when I was interviewing

Speaker:

a coach, she said,

Speaker:

Judy, why?

Speaker:

Are you doing this?

Speaker:

I'll be honest with

Speaker:

you, Aaron.

Speaker:

I hated that question.

Speaker:

What do you mean?

Speaker:

Why?

Speaker:

That's just so stupid.

Speaker:

do you think I'm doing it?

Speaker:

but I said, I don't know.

Speaker:

I want to make my kids proud

Speaker:

of me, and she goes, why is

Speaker:

that important to you?

Speaker:

And she just kept asking.

Speaker:

And why is that matter?

Speaker:

And why is that I'm telling you

Speaker:

until it got so deep that

Speaker:

I was crying and she knew

Speaker:

she had me.

Speaker:

Why?

Speaker:

Because she got me emotionally.

Speaker:

So when we just think

Speaker:

superficially, let's do the

Speaker:

hard thing.

Speaker:

The thing that feels

Speaker:

like we're just going

Speaker:

to fight it tooth and nail,

Speaker:

whatever you're resisting

Speaker:

now, ladies.

Speaker:

Go all in on that.

Speaker:

That's where your next

Speaker:

breakthrough is truly.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

love them.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

Well, as we wrap up, this

Speaker:

is the hourly to exit podcast

Speaker:

where we, help women build

Speaker:

well through building

Speaker:

scalable and hopefully

Speaker:

someday saleable

Speaker:

businesses.

Speaker:

So do you have any plans to

Speaker:

maybe someday sell your

Speaker:

business?

Speaker:

I dream big Aaron, and

Speaker:

in the fall, we're doing

Speaker:

our inaugural joyful business

Speaker:

live in person event right

Speaker:

here on the Emerald coast.

Speaker:

of Florida, so we don't

Speaker:

have our date actually this

Speaker:

afternoon.

Speaker:

I'm going to go check out

Speaker:

the venue.

Speaker:

So, yes, I feel like God

Speaker:

has chosen me to lead

Speaker:

a movement.

Speaker:

I haven't thought about

Speaker:

this as fully as that, but

Speaker:

I do see this.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

mission that God has put me

Speaker:

on to normalize miraculous

Speaker:

results being big enough.

Speaker:

So that, , as long as, I'm

Speaker:

here on this earth long

Speaker:

enough, I can definitely see

Speaker:

that happening.

Speaker:

now that you mentioned it.

Speaker:

January is the year I'm

Speaker:

coming together with my team

Speaker:

for strategic planning and

Speaker:

that will be part of it.

Speaker:

You where do we see

Speaker:

big picture?

Speaker:

In three years in five years.

Speaker:

So yeah.

Speaker:

And I think if anyone

Speaker:

listening never thought

Speaker:

about it, think about that.

Speaker:

Like if you're called to

Speaker:

something and you just get so

Speaker:

excited about, working with

Speaker:

your clients and you're

Speaker:

getting them great results.

Speaker:

I mean, don't stop

Speaker:

your brain.

Speaker:

Like go big, think big.

Speaker:

Yeah, you know, assuming that

Speaker:

you're doing work that you

Speaker:

love making it intact, that's

Speaker:

important to you.

Speaker:

If we think about selling

Speaker:

our businesses, it's not about,

Speaker:

again, like something

Speaker:

dirty, but it is making

Speaker:

sure that the.

Speaker:

transformations that you've

Speaker:

created continue even

Speaker:

when you're ready to do

Speaker:

something else.

Speaker:

So, if you have a team

Speaker:

that they then can continue

Speaker:

to deliver, if you have a

Speaker:

group of people that you've

Speaker:

been helping, that you can

Speaker:

continue to help them

Speaker:

even when you are no longer

Speaker:

personally doing it.

Speaker:

So it is very legacy

Speaker:

building, right?

Speaker:

If we build businesses that

Speaker:

we can sell.

Speaker:

So, yeah,

Speaker:

because we don't live

Speaker:

forever.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

So.

Speaker:

When I think about the

Speaker:

ladies now, and like in

Speaker:

20 years or 30 years when

Speaker:

I'm not here, wouldn't that

Speaker:

be sad to like not have that

Speaker:

exist for them?

Speaker:

So again, it's not selfish to

Speaker:

say I'm selling this business.

Speaker:

Again, you really get

Speaker:

out of that.

Speaker:

That's a lie of the enemy.

Speaker:

Say, you know, wow, in

Speaker:

order for me to sell this.

Speaker:

What I'm really doing

Speaker:

is impacting lives of women

Speaker:

who aren't even born yet.

Speaker:

That's an amazing

Speaker:

thought.

Speaker:

I looked at it

Speaker:

that way.

Speaker:

That is great.

Speaker:

That is wonderful.

Speaker:

So as we wrap up, I know

Speaker:

that you have a freebie for

Speaker:

the audience.

Speaker:

Would you like to

Speaker:

introduce it?

Speaker:

Yes, I would be honored

Speaker:

if you would take me up on

Speaker:

Speaker:

It's my hiring guide.

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

people can find you on

Speaker:

your website.

Speaker:

Speaker:

hang out?

Speaker:

Yes, I'm really loving

Speaker:

Instagram lately,

Speaker:

but right.

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Instagram's cool, but

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

you heard me here on Aaron's

Speaker:

podcast, will you please

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

I'm all into relationships.

Speaker:

So it'd be an honor to

Speaker:

hear from you.

Speaker:

That is wonderful.

Speaker:

What kind of content do

Speaker:

you put on Instagram?

Speaker:

I'm just curious.

Speaker:

You

Speaker:

know, when you mentioned

Speaker:

about content, you know, what

Speaker:

we talk about are pillars of

Speaker:

each of our, either program,

Speaker:

depending on what I'm

Speaker:

promoting and really.

Speaker:

Every day, I think, what

Speaker:

does my best client need

Speaker:

to hear?

Speaker:

So, it's a mix of mindset

Speaker:

and strategy.

Speaker:

I do polls, not on Instagram,

Speaker:

but, you know, in my stories

Speaker:

and stuff and elsewhere.

Speaker:

So, if you're into building
