@0:25 - Lyndsi Weise

And, um, I, she like, threw me a lot of information real fast and was like, sign up for this, sign up for this and sign up.

@0:33 - Maggie Olson (maggielynncreative@gmail.com)

She's got her YouTube thing. I'm going to zoom, Fathom, and then I will hit record. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Millionaire Mindset and Strategy Secrets Podcast.

My name is Maggie. I am part of your co-host. So today I'm super excited to have Lindsay here with me.

And we are here for our very first Power Moves one-on-one interview. So these are interviews that we pick to just interview women who are just standing out and just saying the things that probably nobody else wants to say, but they actually need to be said.

So today we're going to talk more about growth in business and how it's not just about working harder. We're talking about things like thinking and delegating differently.

And that is everything from your business to your home and everything in between. So... So... Because we know that you're likely navigating burnout.

You might be thinking that you're in burnout, and we're trying to avoid that. So, Lyndsi, welcome. I'm so excited.

I would love for you to give us a little introduction.

@1:51 - Lyndsi Weise

Tell us about yourself and who you serve. Awesome. Thanks for having me. This is really fun and exciting. Um, so I am, I've been in business for 14 and a half years, specifically online.

And, um, my background was in corporate. I went to college, got the degree, did the thing that we all do and ended up in the corporate world.

Um, didn't have a family yet. I was, I wasn't even engaged yet when that all began. And I quickly was like, Oh boy, this is, this cannot be it.

Um, the commute I was driving, I was living in Chicago at the time. It was almost two hours a day.

So I would go into a space that was, you were almost walking on eggshells. never knew what was going to happen that day.

And I was like, you know, at the time I didn't realize my nervous system was just so getting frozen by it.

But now I know. And I was like, this cannot be like, how does one do this? And then all I could think was like, when I have a family and when I have kids and all these things, like, how am I going to do all the things and the paycheck to paycheck situation?

And being able to see growth in that space just felt like I was literally banging my head on a wall.

was like, this is not going to work. And I knew, like, I have always been ambitious. I've had big dreams.

I knew climbing a ladder was the goal. And so I started looking around. I started looking around at other places to work.

And it was kind of running into the same type of situation, the same commutes, the same, you know, everything.

And all I could think was literally, how am I going to do this when I have a And throughout that journey in the corporate space, I was still there.

I remember they decided to move to Ohio and they took the company and offered me to go with it.

I was like, goodbye. Like it was my bittersweet moment of saying goodbye to a paycheck, but also hello to what I could do.

And it gave me capacity. And what's the whole like crazy part about it is right. As that was transitioning, I got a cold message that we all absolutely love on social media.

I'm just kidding, but it was the most obnoxious cold message on Facebook at the time. Instagram had, I don't even think Instagram was there yet.

And she was like, join this. Here's the link, do the thing, all of it. And I was like, whoa, was that a robot?

Like what just happened? And instead of like freaking out or, you know, blocking her, I just leaned in a little bit like, is this a real human?

Really, what just happened? Where she went right is she consistently shared a vision, a story, a dream, and a desire through her content.

As I was curious, I was like, well, let me follow this person. Let's see what this is about. And so over time, she was so consistent with this story and this vision and this journey that you started to believe her.

She was like, I'm working on my health, helping other people with health goals. I'm doing this around the kid's schedule and I get paid and the best part, we're going shopping.

And I was like, okay, she has posted this every single week. This has got to be a real thing because for a while I was like, there's no way this is.

And it was almost like, is this, is this what I was looking for? I don't know. And so I felt very like everybody else, you know, the trust was kind of like scam, not a scam, like what's happening.

But I, you know, took time to think it through and took way too much time. But I did, I ended up in the direct sales world.

That's where it all began. And I just remember, like, the first thing they told me was to send the messages that I had been sent.

And I was like, oh, oh, this isn't gonna, this isn't gonna fly. So I opened a Facebook group. And I was like, what if, what if I brought in these people, these cold leads, people who want to learn specifically about what we're going to talk about in here at the time was health.

And like, what if I, you know, was able to bridge that gap of not sending these awkward messages, but letting them get to know, like, and trust me through community and selling from there and being able to convert.

And so that successfully worked really well. I was one of the top reps at the time, you know. Within about a year or two of really creating out this framework without realizing I had created a framework.

And it took a business coach that I hired a few years in who was like, what exactly are you doing?

@6:50 - Maggie Olson (maggielynncreative@gmail.com)

So I was all these accolades, all this incredible success.

@6:53 - Lyndsi Weise

And I'm like, I don't, I felt like I didn't know. I felt like it was just happening. Like I didn't realize the intention had become a framework, a system.

Um, and so she pulled that out of me and was like, you created a system. And so she challenged me to take the system and start teaching it to the world and not just stay in the space of my team and all of that.

And it took me a little bit of time, quite a few years before I had the courage, but I finally, um, two years ago went and created a program around the system.

And I've since been, um, supporting coaches and digital products. I work with realtors who are kind of in the online world and, of course, still the social selling world, and I show them how to actually effectively run a profitable Facebook group where there's a big narrative out there about it being dead or it being just not the place to be, but it's really that people didn't understand how to really effectively run these groups.

And so you get into that and then you think like, no, this isn't good, so that's what I do.

I come out and I'm really helping people see differently and have fun with it, and it certainly helps them save a whole lot of time for their families.

So yeah.

@8:19 - Maggie Olson (maggielynncreative@gmail.com)

Oh my gosh. I love that so much, and I can totally relate to that. I know a lot of people, so I have a couple of Facebook groups, and I have seen so much connection in Facebook groups, you know, like my own, but also outside of that where it's like, Oh my

Oh gosh, I have connected with so many cool people, like even just the pod, if you just take podcasting, right, this podcast and my other podcast, I was able to, you know, like book in, oh my gosh, probably 50 interviews within like a two-month time period and book out my entire podcast for a year.

And by literally going into a community, knowing who was in there and then asking the right questions to say, hey, I want to interview this type of person on this type of podcast, do you or anyone you know, know anybody or want to be, right?

And that's very specific, but, you know, I think it's important to understand that clients are everywhere and I think people forget that, right?

Because there's so much buzz, oh, Facebook's dead, oh, Instagram, oh, no, it's TikTok, oh, no, it's, you know, whatever.

So as an. And see a lot of women who are in my community bouncing everywhere. And I'm like, okay, time out, time out, time out.

Like, let's reel this in and, like, choose one for right now. Right now, we're focusing on one thing so that you're not everywhere all at once, right?

The goal is to nurture and lead the client down your client journey, right? You want to bring them – you want them to travel down that road with you.

Pick one spot. Pick one spot to start.

@: 10:08

Yeah. Yeah.

@: 10:11

I love that. So I'm curious, what is one belief that you kind of had to let go as you scaled or as you, like, moved along in your journey?

@: 10:25

I would say it gets to be simple is probably the biggest sh**. Which also, on the side of that, is, and I know this was the beginning of the conversation, is like, it isn't harder work.

It's like the overthinking, the quiet moments when maybe nobody is responding, or your content is not connecting, and you're like, and that feels very hard.

And it's, but it's not that we have to go and work harder and harder and harder, it gets to be simple, business is actually very basic, even to this day, no matter what gurus are saying out there with, you need to change this, and we need to adjust that, and you need to do this, I mean, it's, no, it's the basics, you need to be able to build that trust and have people who are interested in what it is that you do.

I mean, it's basic, so, that's what it is. Yeah, I love that.

@: 11:37

And I think that is so powerful because as humans, we really overcomplicate things really quickly, overcomplicate things. And I mean, I like guilty, you know, guilty of being like, oh, I have to have this 27 step funnel in order for this to work.

Let me just go to work building the funnel so that I'm actually over here being busy instead of doing money generating activities, right?

Reaching out to people in a way that feels good, right? I'm not saying the spammy DMs. I love DMs.

DMs are like my favorite thing. So I wind up teaching a lot of women how to have fun in the DMs and have it be an enjoyable experience so that the know, like, trust, and the seen, heard, understood of that other person on the other side of the conversation so that you can walk down that.

That client journey together, whether that's inviting to a Facebook group or inviting to a call or a workshop or whatever, you know, being able to have that system has really been so cool.

And to think back to it, it really is so simple. Right. And it does not have to be overcomplicated or take you a whole lot of time.

Right. Yeah. And I think that's the most important thing. People think, oh, my gosh, I have to spend, you know, five hours a day, right, eight hours a day doing this thing and that thing.

ation in my business today in: 2025

Moving conversations forward, checking in with people who have been messaging me.

@: 13:34

Right.

@: 13:35

And then. And I spend, you know, a little bit more time with my clients each day. Again, probably 30 to 60 minutes.

If we have a call, it's a little bit longer. But if it's that daily check-in, 10 minutes a day, maybe 20 minutes, couple times, right?

Like it doesn't have to be as crazy as we think, right? I have kids home. A lot of women are working from home.

They're balancing all that stuff. And I think, you know, if you're a mom and you're listening to this and you're like, ah, how do I make it simple?

I guess what would be one piece of advice, like right now, that you would offer someone to help them simplify?

@: 14:14

What's something that you could bring to the table for them? Yeah, I mean, my thoughts are all the fluff, all the graphics, and the information overload.

You might be like, I'm just listening to this training. Now I got to listen to that training. Now I need this training in order to move forward.

It's okay. Okay. It's definitely good to be learning, but that is not going to put money in the bank.

That is not going to get you into conversations. And so you have to be able to look at that in a way of like a separate timeframe.

And you have to look at like what actually produces income and simplify to there's like three things, generating leads, building trust with the people, converting, right?

And in that process, of course, we're following up because there's a journey, there's timeframe. We can't, we don't control when they're ready.

We just control building trust with them, making sure they're the right fit for what it is we're offering them.

And it's like these four things that is it. And that's why it's simple. It's why it doesn't take a lot of time.

The shiny, fluffy, like the, you know, graphics, like, yes, let's bring them in. But if that's all we're doing, then we are looking at it as like working so hard.

I'm so busy, but nothing's working. It's like the most important thing is the one you're probably avoiding because it's not always comfortable in that part.

That's, that's the part I would challenge people to get good at, like really practice at it and then it'll be comfortable for you.

@: 16:10

Yeah, I would agree. I would agree. And I feel like every person who has said, I don't DM, I don't DM.

And I'm like, please enlighten me how you're converting clients.

@: 16:23

Right. Right. You, I mean, you can't, you can't just post and this whole like go viral thing is fine.

It's a thing and it happens, but it's like a lottery in a way. Um, I've read so much about people who've gone viral, gotten followers that aren't even the right fit.

I've done it. I've gone viral and you know, there's no, we're not having conversations. We're seeing all these views and it's like, who even are these people?

Are they in, are they like, we're having no connection. This is why I'm very passionate about the Facebook group is because you actually can see who's in your world and they come into your world because they want to learn from you.

If you've set everything up correctly, if you optimize your socials there, you're not just going to get like someone who's not the right fit for your work and that's saving you so much time versus the right hook and the right thing.

I mean, that stuff's great. Like I still am out there on Instagram. I do enjoy having fun creating video, but it's not those, if I'm needing to focus and really generate sales.

Like the first thing is these activities.

@: 17:35

Mm hmm. And I think that's so important to really hone in on is that, you know, yes, business is hard.

@: 17:44

Oh, yeah. The end, period.

@: 17:46

The end, right? Like, at this point in my career, I've owned businesses since 2007, right? I owned two brick and mortar businesses before jumping online, which is like, it's a whole other ball of wax to have a brick and mortar business.

So like, you know, and even that transition from brick and mortar order to online only was like, you know, my coach at the time was like, it'll be so easy.

I'm like, literally, thank you for telling me that because if she would have told me the opposite, I probably would not have done it.

But like, you know, it was interesting to shift mindsets from like, oh, I have, you know, my local community and I live in rural Wisconsin, right?

@: 18:33

Like, there's 150,000 people.

@: 18:35

In the county, county, right? Like, the village that I live in has 65 people in it. Like, okay, we're dealing with a small amount of people here to then go online and be like, oh, sweet, now I have access to what, 9 billion people?

Anyone that's online? Okay, this is a little mind-blowing, right? But, you know, there are a lot of things that I've pulled from brick-and-mortar online.

And, you know, one of them is conversations, having a conversation. And, you know, you're right, in those Facebook groups, especially if it's yours, you can have those conversations.

When you have it set up, honestly, it can be so seamless because the questions to get in are where you collect the leads, right?

And you can, them joining your group is a great way to say, hey, hi, I'm so glad you're here in my group.

You said this, this, and this. You When you answer the questions, I want to know how I can be of service, it doesn't have to be that.

It doesn't have to be as hard as so many people make it out to be. Yeah, I love it.

So we started talking a little bit about growth. And I'm curious how, you know, when you start to see some of those sales popping in and, you know, you're generating the leads and you've kind of, again, you've kind of got these two.

You're generating the leads, but you're also having to serve clients. Like, how do you really kind of bridge that gap?

And, like, what are your thoughts on, I guess, balancing those two, right? Because I've noticed a lot of my clients tend to struggle with, okay, I've got the clients and now I'm hyper-focused on the clients.

And then, oh, all of a sudden that client, like, journey is kind of done. But now, oh, I have to go and generate more leads.

@: 20:33

So how do you, I'd love to know how you. Yeah, that's a good one. Um, because at one point I was just letting them book calls at any time, not any, any time, but I was giving enough space that, um, we got to summer and I know better.

I know better at this point because I've been doing this for years, but we got to summer and I had clients and I also have 12 year old twin boys.

And they need, they have a schedule. They have a schedule that I was following and trainings and sports and things that were going on over the summer that were literally 9am in all these times that I'm used to being able to be in my space.

And I was like, Oh my God, like I am late for a call because I had such an open schedule.

And so what I did was I funneled everybody to one. And so then I was able to just do all the coaching in one day.

And I, it wasn't, I wasn't running late. And I also, um, what I find with lead gen, I would say I, um, I do lead gen, I would say two, three times a week.

Um, I could do it more, but I do kind of separate it out. So like on coaching day, we're just kind of like the energies going into them, depending on where we were at in the summer, I had kids home.

And so at this point they're back in school already. And so we've got more time. Um, yeah, they go back really early where I'm at.

And so, um, it, it'll shift a little bit for everybody when you do have the more time, but the biggest lesson I've learned is like stack the calls into a day because then like, if I'm coaching on Thursdays.

Mondays, we're lead gen, we're doing those very important activities. So our business is coming first, and then we're able to deliver and serve on the one day.

It's just like those important things. The income producing is not going to happen that day. And that's kind of how I really mapped it out.

And there's been times where, like in July, I took, instead of taking everybody one-on-one, I moved it into a group offer for 30 days.

And it was, I was, you know, I made the price different to serve everybody. And I worked with them in group, and it just served a lot more, you know, people at once.

And then they were, they could upgrade to one-on-one. Brought in Voxer, which is a really fun talkie-talkie app that you can literally be coaching people while your son is training or you're...

I'm either at a hockey rink or I'm at a football field or I'm at a park where they're like, I'll be at a park in a few hours.

We'll be going to a training. And I, you know, that's time that I can utilize while they're doing their thing.

Um, if somebody were to have, I mean, on Fridays, I really don't do that. And we're filming this on a Friday, but that would be like typically what it would look like to simplify.

@: 24:02

Yeah, I love that. And I think, you know, when you can really, and this is something that like, oh, it's a hill I will die on, right?

It's your business. You get to decide what you want to do, right? What, what I do is not necessarily going to work for somebody else.

And I think that, right. And even when you're in the seat of being coached by someone else, right? You have, you're getting coached.

They're telling you, you know, here's all these things you can do. It's your job to decide and take that information and go, okay, these.

These are the nuggets that I'm going to keep. These are the nuggets that I'm going to implement. And here's how I'm going to move forward.

And as a coach, as a mentor, that's something I encourage all of my clients to do, right? Like, I want to walk alongside you.

I don't want to tell you what to do because what works for me is not going to work for you, right?

And so I think that in order to really empower yourself in your business, being able to set that schedule.

And I love that we have apps like Voxer and WhatsApp and Telegram. Like, honestly, that's made my life so much easier to be able to, you know, like when I meet with a client and they're like, I just really, I need your help.

I want to work with you. But, you know, that high ticket one-on-one container is just not in the cards for me right now.

like, sweet. I've got, I've got you. Don't worry. And I think, you know, that I would say, I call it pocket coach.

When we use, you know, any one of those apps.

@: 25:38

Yeah.

@: 25:39

It's like, I'm cool. I would almost rather do only that because it's so much easier for me to balance kids and chaos and life.

I love that. I love that so much. So let's talk a little bit about delegation because I know before we started recording, we were kind of talking about different ways to delegate.

And I'm curious with you having preteen boys, kids at home, right? I have little kids. I have a four and an eight year old.

So like, we're still in that like little kid craziness. We haven't entered the world of like, I need to be at 27 different sports things.

So I'm curious between your business and home, like what are things that you have delegated and like, what, how do you choose what to delegate?

@: 26:37

Yeah, this is really good. So, um, I've been in business, uh, multiple different businesses, 14 and a half years.

And in the first two years, if I recall, I believe it was the first two years, maybe in the first six months.

No, it was the first year. It hadn't been the first year. Um, cause the, my, I gave birth to the boys.

Um, I was already about a year in and then the boys came. So I did all of this while these boys were little, little.

Um, but I remember hearing it from a video that I was like, I was listening to a YouTube or something one day and, um, I'll never forget.

They were like, the time you spend cleaning your house is wasting. It's wasting hours that you could be putting money in the bank.

And I remember listening to that and I was like, thinking it through. And I did, I just was like, I'm still.

Like, you know, like everybody does. We are like, Oh no, no, no. And then one Saturday came and my husband, um, was cleaning the house and the twins were, I don't know, I don't, they were babies.

And I'll never forget. It was a Saturday. He started at 10 AM and we didn't, it was like a small house at the time.

And he went through and did all the things. And by four o'clock he was done. And I was like, okay, I just sat here on a Saturday for whatever, six hours while you did that.

And we didn't get to leave the house. We didn't go anywhere. And now it's Saturday night. And, um, okay.

I could see like what they met. And so I pulled the video up and I showed him and I was like, think we need to hire someone.

And I just need to bring in the money to cover the cleaning. And he was like, all right, if you can bring in the money, let's go for it.

So we did, we hired a cleaner. And to this day we have had a cleaning service. We are great.

All these years, and they do like the full clean and then I'll upkeep. So I, I will still, what I figured out about dishes is like, it's a overthought chore, if you will.

It takes nothing. It takes like two minutes. It's really not as complicated, even though it looks rough when you're looking at that sink.

Same thing with laundry. It's not complicated. Folding it. I like to hang things. Folding it. We haven't gotten there yet.

So those two things, I still very much, it's just real simple. We're, we're in the kitchen, we're cleaning up.

It's like, just load the dishwasher, rinse the sink down. It's like real quick. And so I've come to the conclusion, like that's, that's easy to keep up with.

I also have kiddos that I could, sometimes I'll hand the job off. Sometimes I do it myself. I go back and forth.

So there's that. But we have a pool. Here. And, um, so I, we do get support and keeping the pool up, up kept.

Some people will do it themselves. I live in Arizona and we do not, we used to have someone help.

have two dogs, um, and the yard can become very messy. And so we also outsource that for a long time.

Cause that is a time consuming. It's nobody wants to really do that and finding a company that was willing.

And then it's, we swap that out. And now my, my, one of my kiddos, is willing to do it for some thing that he gets every week.

And I, my husband and him have that, whatever the deal is. So there's that. Now on a business side of things, um, I have a social media support team and then I have a VA.

And so what I'll say to that is the social media support team is they're like, they're local. And so what they'll do is every quarter, they're like, we need to go take photos.

We need to get you looking good. Like go get your hair done. Meet us at this studio for like two hours.

We just did this like two weeks ago. So I have new photos coming out and they will handle that.

So I outsource getting, I don't, you know, and I will, I'll take photos in the house and outside. And when I look good going places, I'll definitely capture the typical around the house type of content as well.

I know that's important to see me in the real, like you are not this perfect looking person. Um, but they support me in that they support me in creating when I do need graphics.

That's where the, that shift has gone. Cause I'll get on the Canva or whatever. And I'm like, no, that's been delegated.

Um, and then they, um, then I have a VA and so email. Workflows, workflows, funnels, opt-in pages, sales pages, all of that techies.

And so she runs all of it, and she will sometimes just build out the funnel for me if I need it.

I'm not like big, big on funnels. I think I have like one, maybe two. And she just will sit there and just, and so it's really nice to kind of have that.

But those are the things, the biggest things that I hold on to and that require me is going to be social media, like stories, talking, live video.

I do the captions, the content, the storytelling that's coming from me. You know, the looking good photos type of stuff is going to come from the team.

They don't, you know, they do a lot of that fancier stuff. And then it's the conversations, the connections. chants.

theGU. that just turns into But I'm with the Those income producing things are always, I have not outsourced that type of work.

I've seen it done and I, I've tested it before and it's okay. It's a, it's okay. I don't know.

Like, I don't think it's terrible, but I do think we're at a stage where I know you're not who's behind the computer, or I know, like, you could just tell, you could feel it and you want to bring your own energies to it.

So I really stick to being the face, being the, the poster of the content, creating the content, um, and being in those conversations, the most important parts.

then of course, delivering, um, whatever services they've purchased.

@: 33:24

Yeah, I love that. And I think that's such a good reminder for everybody listening that, you know, those tasks that you could.

. . . Pay someone less, like, and I'm not saying like less as in like, right, but I'm saying like, your time is worth something, right?

So if you deem your hourly rate is $500 an hour, okay, can you go out, like, is it cheaper for you to have a lawn service come and mow your lawn or, you know, deal with the pool or pick up the dog poop or whatever those things are, even clean the house.

Right? Like, is it cheaper than your, can you do all of those things in one hour for less than what you would normally charge?

And if not, then okay, it's time to figure out how to support that. And I think that is something that a lot of women tend to say, I'll just do it.

I'll just handle it all. And then they're like, oh, now I have these 837 things and my kids just.

let's get You know, blew up the living room, and oh my gosh, everything's a mess. And then you're frazzled, and you're angry, and it's just not worth it.

@: 34:44

Yeah. And I think like, you know, I have older kids now. You have younger. So you might be like, okay, what did you do when the kids were younger?

I will tell you this. My sister-in-law came in and supported me part-time a little bit. She would come in and spend a few hours with my twins so I could focus.

Because again, we don't need all day long. We just need a few hours, and it's those key things you need to do.

But I will tell you, now that they're 12, nobody gets in the way of what, of me and my time with them, which is, which isn't, it's so like wild.

Because when they're younger, you're kind of like, let me go. Like, there's just so much happening. And can someone just sit with them for a few hours?

Like, can I just bring someone to the house? Or, you know, your husband might be like, I got this.

Like you do focus on your thing, but when they get to this next age at where we're at right now, this tween age, you almost, it's like, no, no, no, everything goes to the side.

I'm going to take them. And so you really, you know, that's been how I've kind of shifted a little bit with messaging too, is it's like, wow, they're like on the edge of high school and they're on the edge of like big things happening.

And so you, you really start to dive into, um, their goals and dreams too. So we've got me and my goals and dreams, we've got their goals and dreams and you're navigating these, these things.

And so the biggest thing for me was like, um, I'm not asking someone to, I mean, everyone's certainly there's times when you need your village and it's like, you need to give them a ride.

But like, overall the car rides have been like the most important with your kiddos and it's important that you do have systems in place.

Because throughout all of these months, if we go on a vacation or I'm driving them somewhere, things are still moving.

The content has been shared. The conversations have happened. We're able to consistently move forward and make income because that's been set up.

And, you know, you do need the time to do that. So you really have to look at, like, what is the things that absolutely I despise doing, even though I'm like, I'll do it anyways.

And that's usually the yard. That's usually, you know, some people don't do laundry. Like, I wouldn't be opposed to actually outsourcing it.

My husband, like, kind of enjoys the folding, I guess. And so we haven't really gone there, but I've seen that.

And so it's like, pick the things that, you know, and when the little ones are little, if you're in where they're now.

And you're in where, um, like someone can come over for a few hours in the morning or in the afternoon and you're home.

Like that's always three hours, two hours. You can get so much, the most important tasks get done, just get them done and then go be with the kiddos.

Cause the whole, that's the point, right? We're not, we're not trying to get away from that. So I wanted to address the kids too.

Cause then they get to this tween stage and you're like, what is happening? We're like a few years away from this college life.

I, and you're, it just goes so fast. It just flies. It's so wild. Um, and suddenly you're just like, I'm driving, I got this.

@: 38:21

Yeah. Yeah. I love that. And I think, you know, it's such an important reminder that, you know, the, my grandma before she passed many years before I had kids, she said to me, just remember if you ever have kids.

And the days are long and the years are short. I'm like, right, like she passed when I was like, 22, maybe.

And I was like, weird to say. And I didn't have we didn't have kids until we were, you know, older, like I was 33 when I had my daughter and I was 37 when I had my son, right.

So like, in my 30s, and with my son, was like, Oh, I totally understand what that means now. Because yeah, at eight and four, I'm like, Oh, my gosh, we're getting ready for second grade.

And we're almost ready for 4k. How is this possible? Right. And then to think like, Oh, I have all these hopes and dreams, and these goals and these things that I'm driving for, but also like, they're gonna have those things too.

And I think that's just such a beautiful reminder to really Delegate schedule, but also to hold those boundaries, right?

From work and personal. And trust.

@: 39:44

I also am like, you got to trust. I think like in the beginning, I think that I just had this weird, untrusting mindset, just maybe it was just being a newbie and just figuring things out in business.

But I just remember thinking like, I'm not doing and working and doing and working and like, we're going to miss out.

We're going to miss out like this FOMO thing, this weird scarcity, like energy for a while. And all of a sudden, like one day they were sick or one of them was sick or somebody, somebody was sick.

And I just threw my hands up because I was like, the routine is going out the door today. Like we're not working.

We got sickness going on. And I just remember like sitting there and being like, I trust that it will work out somehow, some way.

And I had to flip into that and I. do that all the time now when I'm giving these hours of driving, of taking them to the places we're going, being at, involved, like the sports you'll see as they get older is there are tons of practices, hours, you're out on these practice fields watching or you're doing something, well, you know, of course it's a great time to do some work if you're just hanging out, right?

It's great. It's smart. And, but you'll, you'll, you'll feel a little often being at a desk or being able, you know, getting the work in.

And so I really learned, like, you also just sit with the trust of the sales will come, the clients will come.

I've done these parts and pieces and these most important activities every single day or every few days. And it's like, they're, they will translate into sales and you can see the fruit of the work you're doing.

Um, and so I've been. That's something that's been important to me because yeah, in the beginning, I was like, it doesn't come if I'm not working.

And that was a bad mindset. They were very little. So it worked itself out because like, it just happened to happen when they were so little.

But I think it's important to note that too, because it's, it's, it's like a bummer to see sometimes moms who are just, I had to do the house, and I've got to do the yard, and I've got to do the laundry, and I've got to do the this, and then I've got to take the kids.

And then they never really are able to get to the goals they dream about. And it's, you know, if it's important to you, like, do that for you, the kids follow like watching my kids do like I have zero concern of their future zero I'm like, I'm here and I'm still very much raising them and guiding them.

But I have, I'm, their confidence is there, like, they understand, you know. I know this is a whole nother topic, but they understand how social media could be very incredible for them if they decide this is the route as they, you know, it's just different world for them.

And like, especially as they get into sports, like there, there's just so much opportunity for their dreams. And when they see you doing that and like, they see the speaking or the podcasting that you're doing and they're like, they get a little bit older and they're like, I can do that, you know?

And they start to really build that confidence, suddenly you're like, this is good. This is going to be good.

Now I'm going to support their world while I continue. And I'm, you know, it's fun because now you get to see what they're going to do.

And anyways, I love that.

@: 43:23

And I think that's, but that's so important to bring that in. And, you know, one of the reasons that Steph and I did create this podcast and this, really this brand was to showcase.

And that business doesn't have to be hard, like there are hard things in business, but business is pretty simple at the end of the day.

Like, it's pretty simple, right? Like, yeah, yeah. Yes.

@: 43:51

So, you know, these things, yes, like, I gotta be doing these things, but really just do the simple stuff.

Right.

@: 44:00

And I definitely think, you know, thinking back when I first started, so I opened a photography business in 2007, right out of college, you know, like, I lived in Spain for six months.

And I remember going to the internet cafe, calling my mom and being like, Mom, I took this amazing picture.

Guess what, I'm going to be a photographer. And she was like, cool. Great. You have like, two semesters left in college.

Like, why don't you, I don't know, take some photography classes and- And I was Oh, yeah, totally cool. And you know, and I did that.

I worked in corporate for eight years while building my photo business. And it got to the point where I was like, Okay, photo business too big time to go out on my own.

That was cool. I rage quit and immediately was like, Oh, what did I do? This is a lot harder.

This is more challenging than I thought. But really, it wasn't. I just needed to have the right conversations, the right time in order to move forward.

So I think, you know, like complicating things. It's definitely as a human, like, a sweet spot of ours for sure.

Oh, this has been such a good conversation, though. Yes. Yeah. So.

@: 45:32

And I think, you know, as we're wrapping up here, I would love.

@: 45:35

I'd for you to share one piece of advice for the listeners that, you know, will either help them maybe tap into their millionaire mindset or tap into maybe a strategy secret that, you know, you've kind of been holding on to.

What is, what is something you can offer the audience?

@: 45:56

I firmly believe building community will always bring you clients. So that's like the first thing. And that's a consistent thing.

We're not, we're not just, we didn't just build the community in a week, in a month, in six months, we're consistently building community.

That's, that's how this goes. And that will consistently bring clients and for, to have the millionaire mindset in doing such a thing, you are going to, there are, there's, there is going to be obstacles in building whatever you build.

There's obstacles in parenting, there's obstacles in everything we do.

@: 46:34

people being Saints doubt see Santa I don't feel

@: 46:35

We just keep going and we just, you know, we work through them and we're, but it's, it's really comes down to like that one foot in front of the other.

Don't, you can rest. This is, this is, I, I actually don't, didn't mean to go in this direction, but my biggest mentor, the one who actually pulled out that I had a Facebook group framework, she died this week.

Um, suddenly she's really young, like 45, very young. And, uh, she's the one who taught me like all the times when it was so tough.

And I was like, just over it and ready to be done or never forget. She's like, no, no, no.

We rest. We don't quit. We rest. And all that to say, like, quite honestly, I don't remember ever burning out in all these years.

I'm sure I've had maybe moments where I got real close and I could just feel it coming, but I remember it was like, we rest.

Yes. And so when you're in this build, which you're always in the build, like that's part of business that's, and it's simple and it's basic and it can be boring, which makes you be like, I got to do more things.

I got to do more things. I'm so bored. But like, you have to just stay the course in the boring and you have to rest when you need to rest and not just like throw in the towel.

And I think that's like the biggest thing I'd want to leave you with is I always say one foot in front of the other and like, give yourself a day every week, just take a day and don't work, go leave the family, go have fun.

You'd be surprised how much that renews you, how much you may actually see clients come in. That happens to me all the time.

The minute I'm like in that lull of like, Hey, what's going on? What are we doing? Where's everybody? What's happening?

It's quiet. I am like, okay, it's a rest time. We go rest. We. Go have fun and boom, like here comes the work.

So they're the, the fruit. So I, I would just leave you with, um, like that, like rest, don't quit.
