Speaker:

Hello, everybody, and welcome back. This is the creative

Speaker:

collaboration show with Chuck Anderson. I have another amazing guest for

Speaker:

you today, and we're going to dive deep into a topic that I think is

Speaker:

relevant to all of you. As you know that this show is about how do

Speaker:

we move from being a solopreneur into building something

Speaker:

much more significant? And in order to do that, we need

Speaker:

to connect and partner with amazing people. As we always

Speaker:

say, nothing really significant ever gets accomplished

Speaker:

alone. There's always team and partners and

Speaker:

collaborators and experts and so many people that we want to connect with.

Speaker:

And that's why I'm so excited about today's guest,

Speaker:

because she is absolutely an amazing person to

Speaker:

partner with and to connect with. And if

Speaker:

you're on that mission to get your heart centered mission out there in

Speaker:

the world and make the biggest possible

Speaker:

impact you can make, you are definitely in the right place.

Speaker:

And you know what we're going to talk about today? We're going to talk about

Speaker:

that aspirational goal of getting to six

Speaker:

figures and beyond in your business

Speaker:

and whether or not you actually want to get there and everything

Speaker:

you need to do or be in order

Speaker:

to get to that level in your business. So today,

Speaker:

I have Dr. Barnsley Brown with me today. She's a kick ass

Speaker:

coach and business maven and just an all around

Speaker:

cool human to be spending some time with today. So,

Speaker:

Barnsley, welcome to the show. Thank you, Chuck. I've been really

Speaker:

looking forward to, you know, ditto everything you said is true of

Speaker:

you, too. Just going to say it. You're such a great

Speaker:

person to partner with, and you're such a wealth of information

Speaker:

in how to partner with people in ways that really are

Speaker:

win win all the way around. So I'm just thrilled that we're here. And,

Speaker:

man, you all I hear people saying, I want to be at six figures. I

Speaker:

want to be at six figures. Well, today we're going to say, do you really

Speaker:

want to be at six figures? Because here's what it takes. This is the no

Speaker:

BS version. Everybody ready? Let's do it.

Speaker:

Let's dive in. And I think a good place to start is introduce yourself

Speaker:

a little bit to our audience. I mean, who is Dr. Barnsley

Speaker:

Brown? And then let's dive deep into this.

Speaker:

Well, I'm a wild woman. I'm a single mom. I'm a spiritual

Speaker:

being here, having an incredibly fun experience

Speaker:

sharing what I'm put on this earth to do and making

Speaker:

multiple six figures doing it. But it wasn't always that

Speaker:

way. And I like to be really real with people, chuck, it took me over

Speaker:

a decade to get the six figures in my business, and let me tell

Speaker:

you why. I just tell the real deal. I don't hold anything

Speaker:

back. And I'll tell you why. Because I didn't

Speaker:

invest in a comprehensive program

Speaker:

that could actually get me where I wanted to go. I

Speaker:

tried to piece together we've all done it. It works for

Speaker:

quilts. It doesn't work for business. I tried to

Speaker:

piece together bits here, bits there.

Speaker:

I tried to do it the cheap way, right? And you

Speaker:

all, can I say a bad word? That

Speaker:

S-H-I-T does not work. It does not work.

Speaker:

You all or let's put it this way, it

Speaker:

works, but it'll take you forever. So I am the person

Speaker:

now that I needed then. Chuck and I don't

Speaker:

want to see other people who are big hearted and have this

Speaker:

big dream that's going to bring good, positive energy to

Speaker:

the world and that probably is going to save people's lives.

Speaker:

I believe we all save people's lives. I believe we all are

Speaker:

the answer to someone's prayer.

Speaker:

I don't want you to spend so long as I did trying to figure

Speaker:

it out. Don't do that. You need to go to people who already

Speaker:

know show to get you there and let them

Speaker:

make your life easier. Yeah. What was the turning point for you?

Speaker:

When was it that you realized that, I'm going down this

Speaker:

path, I'm doing it my way, I'm getting some results,

Speaker:

but maybe not the results you wanted. What was the turning point for you where

Speaker:

you decided to do something different that led you to what you're ultimately

Speaker:

doing? Really? I love that question. Actually.

Speaker:

I decided I had three amazing people that I really

Speaker:

revered. Every single one of them was just a dynamo

Speaker:

and two of them were my neighbors. Chuck so they stayed on my butt.

Speaker:

They wouldn't let me off the hook. And they enrolled me

Speaker:

in Transformational Leadership Trainings that were held

Speaker:

here. Actually local, though people came from all over the world. They were held

Speaker:

right here in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Can you imagine? So

Speaker:

I didn't need to travel. There was no excuse. And I was

Speaker:

recently separated. And

Speaker:

I needed a change in my life. I was a single

Speaker:

mom. I needed a change in my life. I needed support. I knew I

Speaker:

needed support. And I did not want to stay in the

Speaker:

rain sobbing about what had happened. You know what I mean?

Speaker:

Soggy and sobbing, that's no fun.

Speaker:

Joy is where it's at, you all. So I enrolled in

Speaker:

Transformational Leadership. I remember putting that

Speaker:

5000 it was just under $5,000. Chuck I put that thing on my

Speaker:

credit card. I just said, okay, I'm putting it on my credit card. I don't

Speaker:

know how this is going to happen. And do you know, within three weeks, that

Speaker:

credit card was paid off with all the extra business that had

Speaker:

come my way. Amazing. Yeah.

Speaker:

Magical. Magical. The breakthrough for

Speaker:

people is that you haven't gotten where you

Speaker:

wanted to go doing what you're doing now. All right.

Speaker:

And I didn't. And it is absolutely

Speaker:

imperative that you invest in yourself,

Speaker:

your personal growth, as we were talking about right before this, Chuck, you got to

Speaker:

invest in yourself, because to the extent that you grow yourself, you

Speaker:

will be able to grow your business.

Speaker:

Otherwise, anything that happens, you'll be knocked off your

Speaker:

center. So you really have to have an

Speaker:

incredible center, an incredible perseverance. Stick

Speaker:

to itness, dogged, like be like a Chihuahua that

Speaker:

grabs onto your heel and won't let go. That's what you got to be in

Speaker:

business. Relentless. Really.

Speaker:

Relentless. That's the best word right there. Relentless. Yeah,

Speaker:

absolutely. And never, ever give up. I had a

Speaker:

mentor who said very early on is that the only way to

Speaker:

fail is to quit. Because there's always a

Speaker:

solution to whatever is going on in your business,

Speaker:

in your life, whatever it is. There's always a solution. There's

Speaker:

always something, just keep moving forward. And my audience

Speaker:

hears me say, Keep moving forward all the time. Because

Speaker:

that's the mantra that works for me, to keep me moving forward.

Speaker:

Because it doesn't matter what level you get to. There's always another

Speaker:

challenge to, you know.

Speaker:

We always get to up levels. And it was so funny. I was just having

Speaker:

an enrollment conversation right before this with someone who's in the

Speaker:

UK, who's interested in being in my Make It Happen Mastermind coaching program.

Speaker:

And what I was saying to her is, I have six coaches myself. And she's

Speaker:

like, you do. And I said, of course I do. Of

Speaker:

course I do. Because I would never

Speaker:

dare to go out on a field when I don't know something like

Speaker:

this is one of the reasons I invested in your program, Chuck, is I didn't

Speaker:

know how to do it. I didn't know how to do the affiliate program.

Speaker:

I didn't want to do it. The long, slow know, I got you the stuff

Speaker:

the next day, you had it to me the next week. That's how I roll.

Speaker:

But it comes from knowing

Speaker:

that you're not going to get where you want to go with the mindset

Speaker:

that brought you where you are now. All right? You have

Speaker:

to up level. There's always another level. And we all need coaches. In

Speaker:

fact, I would say to everybody here, if you're ever considering business coaching

Speaker:

or life coaching or whatever kind of coaching, there's even grief

Speaker:

coaching now. There's all sorts of stuff out there. You want to ask that

Speaker:

coach, who are your coaches?

Speaker:

Or what kind of coaches do you have? Because if they're a coach

Speaker:

and they don't have coaches, I'd be very

Speaker:

suspicious. Yeah. Any coach that doesn't

Speaker:

invest in coaching doesn't really believe in coaching. They're just trying to sell

Speaker:

you their services and make money.

Speaker:

They're not really on a growth journey.

Speaker:

Yeah. You want to learn from people who are also growing. Right, exactly.

Speaker:

And people say, Why do you go to so many things? Why do

Speaker:

you invest in so many things? And you and I were talking about this. I

Speaker:

probably have invested over 30,000 this year. It's been more other

Speaker:

years in personal and professional development. And why?

Speaker:

Because I'm only useful to the extent that I'm growing and

Speaker:

learning. I am only useful to my folks, my tribe, to

Speaker:

that extent. So if you're somebody who wants to

Speaker:

remain in comfort zone, then just give up on six

Speaker:

figures because just be real. Don't even go

Speaker:

for it because it's going to get you out of your comfort zone, wouldn't you

Speaker:

say, Chuck? You're going to be out of your comfort zone. Oh, for sure. You

Speaker:

are going to be out of your comfort zone a lot. If you're not out

Speaker:

of your comfort zone right now, then you're probably not growing. You're

Speaker:

maintaining. And really this idea of maintaining really

Speaker:

is an illusion. You're never really maintaining. You're either

Speaker:

moving forward or you're moving backwards.

Speaker:

It just might be very gradual, so you might not notice. So it

Speaker:

feels like you're in one spot, but you're either going forward or you're going backwards.

Speaker:

At least that's how I view it in my business. So

Speaker:

we're always looking for like, okay, great, we've got here.

Speaker:

Now what's the next level? Where

Speaker:

do we push this? Where do we take this? How do we do that with

Speaker:

our clients? How do we do that with ourselves? How do we do that with

Speaker:

our offerings, all of that. I love everything

Speaker:

that you're saying, and before we kind of dive deeper in that,

Speaker:

I want to ask you a little bit.

Speaker:

Who's the typical person that you work with? How would you

Speaker:

describe the mission that they're on and even

Speaker:

the struggles that they're going through right now, even the questions that they might

Speaker:

be asking themselves and deciding, like, do I

Speaker:

go forward or do I not?

Speaker:

What are you noticing with the people that you're talking to? Oh, man,

Speaker:

that inner dialogue. And I know when I

Speaker:

speak in an enrollment conversation and I describe this, I know

Speaker:

because I can see it in their eyes. So let me just say,

Speaker:

the person I love working with, especially my Make It Happen

Speaker:

Mastermind, it is all women in that program. I do have

Speaker:

other programs for men, but this is all women in the Make It

Speaker:

Happen Mastermind comprehensive coaching program. And

Speaker:

what has happened usually, I'll tell you, Chuck, is they have

Speaker:

invested in somebody else's program. And I'm going to

Speaker:

speak the truth here, somebody who has maybe 902,000,

Speaker:

3000 people in their program, and they're charging tons of

Speaker:

money for it, maybe over 50K, over sixty k. I

Speaker:

recently had somebody over 50K. No results. She got no results

Speaker:

because the success

Speaker:

rate in those programs is usually about 3%.

Speaker:

And I have a success rate, by the way, of 97%.

Speaker:

And there's a reason why we can talk about that later.

Speaker:

But they have come to me and they're not trusting themselves. And

Speaker:

usually it's this I feel stuck. I'm just going to be them for a second.

Speaker:

I feel stuck. I invested all this money and it didn't

Speaker:

happen. And I don't know. I mean, I'm afraid to invest

Speaker:

anything else. I don't even know if I'm doing the right thing. I'm

Speaker:

scared I'm going to have to go back to that job that I really

Speaker:

hated or I'm going to have to go get the job that I will

Speaker:

hate. And I feel like it's now or never.

Speaker:

It's now or never, and I don't know how to do it. I feel

Speaker:

lost, like I'm just spinning my wheels. This is what they're saying

Speaker:

when they get to me. But the saddest thing for me, or the thing that

Speaker:

really pulls my heartstrings, let's say that way, is

Speaker:

that they're down on themselves, Chuck. And they're

Speaker:

down on themselves because they invested in somebody's program that didn't give

Speaker:

returns. And so one of the first things I say is, look, you

Speaker:

are not to blame, all right? You made an

Speaker:

investment. It was one of those programs that really doesn't deliver the results

Speaker:

it promises, or maybe it does, but just to a very small

Speaker:

percentage, like five out of every 100 people, or

Speaker:

even if that 3% is three out of every hundred,

Speaker:

to me, that's just deplorable. I couldn't take somebody's money and do

Speaker:

that. I'm not willing to. But

Speaker:

they're down on themselves. And so what we do is we get a clear

Speaker:

picture of where they want to go, and then we break it down. And I

Speaker:

have a system that I teach them that allows them to track it

Speaker:

and see their progress. And we celebrate, like you

Speaker:

said, every step of the way. We celebrate every step of the way

Speaker:

because that's how we keep our momentum going, right?

Speaker:

Every step. That phone call they made to make an

Speaker:

offer, client of mine just I said, make an offer today. Make

Speaker:

an offer today. You need to make an offer today. So she called eight people,

Speaker:

made an offer that was in $1,000 offer. She's already had one

Speaker:

accept it. Right. And this is direct result of

Speaker:

just saying, okay, do it today. And I hold people accountable.

Speaker:

There are four pillars in my program. They're training, accountability, coaching,

Speaker:

and community. And these are the four pillars of success.

Speaker:

So I turn those people who think I can't I'm

Speaker:

afraid a lot of times, the first time we talk, they're even in

Speaker:

tears, Chuck, because somebody took their money and they

Speaker:

got shit for it. Yeah.

Speaker:

And then they start questioning whether or not

Speaker:

they're going to keep going. Are they going to keep doing

Speaker:

this? So I can completely understand the tears. In

Speaker:

fact, I've been there a couple of times in my career

Speaker:

myself. When

Speaker:

you get so excited about something and you follow down that path, and

Speaker:

then you realize, oh, no, that's not going to

Speaker:

work. This isn't giving me this does not

Speaker:

have what I like to say is that program did not have the structure you

Speaker:

need to create the results that you want

Speaker:

fast in the way that you want them. Fast with. I say fast with

Speaker:

fun. That's my program. We do it fast with fun. And here's the

Speaker:

thing people are living on, this is what I see. And this is why I

Speaker:

say, do you really want to make six figures? A lot of people just have

Speaker:

hobbies. Chuck, let's be real. At a lot of the women's

Speaker:

networking events, I'm going to rail for a second, because I will rail.

Speaker:

A lot of the women's networking events. I go in there, and it's a

Speaker:

social thing. They're there for socializing, and they have hobby

Speaker:

businesses, and they're supported by somebody else, a

Speaker:

partner or a husband or somebody sugar

Speaker:

daddy, whatever, sugar mama. But they're supported by

Speaker:

somebody else, and they have a hobby. And you all I don't work with

Speaker:

people who are hobbyists. I work with people who say, okay,

Speaker:

I say, I want this dream. I say, I really want it. Ten out of

Speaker:

ten, and damn it, I'm going for it. And I'm giving

Speaker:

myself first class, comprehensive support, so

Speaker:

I ensure that I get there. Those are

Speaker:

the people I work with. So I scare the heck out of people who

Speaker:

are hobbyists. I do. And that's okay.

Speaker:

I'm totally happy to repel those people because

Speaker:

they would drive me crazy, and I would drive them crazy.

Speaker:

And I think if they're not serious about what they're doing, if they're not on

Speaker:

a mission to make an impact or serve

Speaker:

in the way that they can use their unique gifts to help

Speaker:

people, then they're really on

Speaker:

quicksand. There's really no foundation there.

Speaker:

And I think you really need to have that vision and that

Speaker:

mission and that belief in your unique abilities to

Speaker:

really propel you forward. You might not know what you're doing

Speaker:

or how you're going to get to where you want to go, but that's where

Speaker:

someone like you comes. Yeah. And the way

Speaker:

that I coach people is really interesting, Chuck,

Speaker:

because I don't want to see them for an hour. I don't want to have

Speaker:

you individually with me for an hour session. I give everybody a certain

Speaker:

number of minutes individually and tons of minutes group

Speaker:

per month. But here's what I say, okay? When you have an issue, just

Speaker:

text me. We'll get on. We may only spend five minutes. The other

Speaker:

day, nine minute coaching session with a lawyer who's in my

Speaker:

program, she was feeling bad because there had been a

Speaker:

situation with a client and a lot of things had come up

Speaker:

and the estate plan had been delayed. And she was like,

Speaker:

yeah, I'm going to just give him a discount, and blah, blah, blah. But I

Speaker:

wanted to talk to you first. I said

Speaker:

Erin. Sorry. I said her name.

Speaker:

All right? No last name or we'll bleep it. No last name. I didn't mean

Speaker:

to say that. I said Ernita I said you

Speaker:

know, here's the deal. She's amazing, by the way. She knows I

Speaker:

love to talk about her. And I said, here's

Speaker:

the deal. You just send them a message. Here's exactly what you say.

Speaker:

I know that we didn't completely nail down everything with the

Speaker:

fees. I was so excited to help you and

Speaker:

your wife and I overlooked that. And then we kept

Speaker:

having things that came up at different points in the procedure that had to be

Speaker:

taken care of. I know you understand that I must keep my

Speaker:

fees in relationship to industry standards.

Speaker:

Here is the breakdown. And so guess what? And

Speaker:

I said, give him a gift. Give him a complimentary consult

Speaker:

for him or his wife, whoever passes first, they can come

Speaker:

to you. Just give that because you're going to have more business from that. They're

Speaker:

going to come use you for probate. And that is a

Speaker:

$300 value. And how nice is that for you to give that to them?

Speaker:

Give them that. Don't give them a discount, which she did. And guess what?

Speaker:

It's working out great and she'll have more business. And she said, oh, my

Speaker:

gosh, you just saved me over $1,000 with ten minutes. And I

Speaker:

said, Actually, I saved you 1000 and I made you another

Speaker:

5000 because you're going to have that person

Speaker:

by giving them that complimentary hour,

Speaker:

whoever's the surviving spouse is going to come to you because they already

Speaker:

trust you and they're going to use you for the whole estate plan probate. Everything

Speaker:

else process will probate rather.

Speaker:

Yeah. So that's where good coaching, if you have a

Speaker:

good coach, they're going to make you money, they're going to save you money. They're

Speaker:

going to connect you to other incredible people who

Speaker:

have the resources, the information, the expertise that you need,

Speaker:

and they're going to make sure you're always moving forward. I provide what I

Speaker:

call the GBK, Chuck. It's a very important business acronym.

Speaker:

Oh, well, then we just have to know what that

Speaker:

GBK? Gentle butt kick.

Speaker:

Gentle butt kick. Of course, gentle butt.

Speaker:

And on my watch, you are not falling through the cracks

Speaker:

like in those other programs. I am determined, and that's why I have the success

Speaker:

rate that I have with my clients, because it's an issue for

Speaker:

me of integrity. And there are a lot of

Speaker:

people out there super happy to take your money and promise

Speaker:

a lot, and then they don't

Speaker:

deliver. So I would say when we think about

Speaker:

collaborations, you and I were talking about this the

Speaker:

other day, you got to know the values of the people

Speaker:

that you are collaboration with and make sure that their values are

Speaker:

your values as well, even down to things like you and I, Chuck.

Speaker:

Both we like to work with smaller groups in our webinars and our

Speaker:

workshops because we want to go deep with people. We don't

Speaker:

want to just give them some cookie cutter. We want them to get what they

Speaker:

need and we want them to know that they matter and that they can do

Speaker:

this. And that in and of itself, I mean, that is

Speaker:

really what my whole business in a nutshell is about. People

Speaker:

knowing they matter, they matter and what they're here

Speaker:

to give to the world matters. That's it.

Speaker:

Yeah. And that's the type of people that we tend to attract as well.

Speaker:

I mean, they're not usually people who are just in it for like a gazillion

Speaker:

dollars. They're usually someone with

Speaker:

they've got a gift, they've got something that they can

Speaker:

use to serve and help others. They're not

Speaker:

always natural business people. They're just like really good

Speaker:

practitioners at what they do and they want to make a difference,

Speaker:

but they also want to make a living

Speaker:

and maybe a nice living to be able to do

Speaker:

it. It's usually not profits

Speaker:

first. That is something that we end up having to coach people on. It's

Speaker:

like, well, you need to do this but also be profitable because if you're profitable,

Speaker:

then you can help more people. But like you said is it doesn't

Speaker:

mean that we have to take a program that's for 20 people and

Speaker:

make it for 2000 people because then we can't touch lives

Speaker:

in a deep and meaningful way anymore. And then they fall through the cracks. And

Speaker:

then they fall through the cracks.

Speaker:

No, I don't like that and I don't want to do that. And I

Speaker:

know you don't either. We really want you to have the results

Speaker:

that you say you want. Again, there I'm going to press in on

Speaker:

that because there are a lot of people say, well, I'm a ten about

Speaker:

my business. I really want to get the six figures. Well, let

Speaker:

me tell you all something, all right? Let's just be real.

Speaker:

You have got to invest in yourself and your business.

Speaker:

And probably it's going to be at least ten to

Speaker:

20K every year that you're going to invest with

Speaker:

experts, which is going to get you where you want to go fast. All

Speaker:

right? Don't do the piece together thing I did. It just doesn't work.

Speaker:

But you're going to have to invest that. And I like to say to people

Speaker:

when I'm talking to them, if I said to you,

Speaker:

Chuck, give me

Speaker:

$20, okay, give me $20, just pull it out, give it to me through

Speaker:

zoom, I'll give you back $100. Would you do

Speaker:

that? Yeah, you give me 20 and I give you 100. I got a

Speaker:

crisp $100 bill right here. Did you do it? Yeah, here's 20 right

Speaker:

now. Here's 100 back. And that's the same thing.

Speaker:

That's the mentality you've got to have with your business. You're investing the

Speaker:

20 so you can have the 100 back. All right?

Speaker:

And it's a no brainer. It's a no brainer

Speaker:

once, but it can be very scary. I mean, when I invested in that

Speaker:

first just under $5,000 program, that I told you all

Speaker:

about. We have an expression. It's kind of a bad expression

Speaker:

in the south, but it's like shitting bricks. I was like, oh, my

Speaker:

God, what did I just do? And I'm recently separated,

Speaker:

and how am I going to pay that card? And literally just over

Speaker:

three weeks later, I had all these new speaking engagements paid. Speaking

Speaker:

engagements had come through. Oh, we want to have you back here. And blah, blah,

Speaker:

blah, new clients. Everything had

Speaker:

conspired. Because guess what? The universe likes commitment.

Speaker:

All right? And I'm going to say something. I'm going to say something, and maybe

Speaker:

this is going to put some of you out of your comfort zone. I hope

Speaker:

so. A good idea doesn't land and

Speaker:

stay. A good business doesn't land and

Speaker:

stay. If you don't pick it up and do the work necessary,

Speaker:

it's going to move to the next person.

Speaker:

And do you want somebody really doing the business that

Speaker:

was your legacy to leave the world? Do you want somebody else doing that?

Speaker:

Because if you're sitting back just hoping and waiting, waiting for

Speaker:

this to happen, those are not strategies. They don't work as strategies. Hoping and

Speaker:

waiting. Time to get going.

Speaker:

Time to get going for sure. Well, let's say somebody

Speaker:

is listening in and they're going, wow, everything that you've

Speaker:

said here today describes me and my situation,

Speaker:

and I'm ready for more.

Speaker:

What is the next step in terms of learning from

Speaker:

you and working with you? I know you have a free

Speaker:

webinar. We're going to link to that beneath the video and in the podcast show.

Speaker:

Excited about that one? Yes. So tell the folks

Speaker:

what's the best next step from here? Now that they've listened in. And it's like,

Speaker:

okay, well, what do I do next? Yeah, what do I do next?

Speaker:

And that's such a good question because when you get overwhelmed, just ask

Speaker:

yourself, what's the next step? All right. And here's the next step. You all

Speaker:

it's super simple. You go to my website.

Speaker:

Spiritedsolutions.com

Speaker:

S-P-I-R-I-T-E-D.

Speaker:

Solutions with an S on it. Don't

Speaker:

forget the dash in the middle because you'll get a very boring computer

Speaker:

company. Go there and just fill out

Speaker:

the little application. It says Application to have a

Speaker:

complimentary. Gut results. Now session with Dr.

Speaker:

Barnsley valued at $497.

Speaker:

And again, it's complimentary.

Speaker:

You have to apply. However, it's only eleven minutes. The

Speaker:

application, that's your step. That's the one and only thing that

Speaker:

you need to do right now. Go right there and I'm going to challenge you.

Speaker:

Don't wait till tomorrow because it's not happening. If you are

Speaker:

really committed, go do it right. As soon as we finish this broadcast,

Speaker:

just get your butt over there. If you're at work, go take

Speaker:

your laptop and go into the bathroom stall and do it. Y'all.

Speaker:

Don't wait because speed of

Speaker:

implementation, taking action is going to

Speaker:

carry you so far but if you don't do it, life comes

Speaker:

in and you'll forget about it, and then tomorrow will be just the same, and

Speaker:

you'll be saying, wow, I would have really wish I had that business so I

Speaker:

didn't have to do this job. I don't enjoy

Speaker:

to make life really easy for you. If you're watching this on

Speaker:

video, the link is just beneath this video. And if

Speaker:

you're listening on a podcast, no problem. You just click into the

Speaker:

podcast player that you're on right now. Look at the show notes, and the links

Speaker:

are all there as well. And I love what you said. I

Speaker:

mean, I say this in every episode is when you're

Speaker:

inspired, when you're in the right place at the right

Speaker:

time. And if you're listening right now,

Speaker:

you are in the right place at the right time is take an

Speaker:

action step. And it's a very simple action step to take.

Speaker:

And you might not know what's in front of you, and it doesn't

Speaker:

matter. Take the next step, and the staircase will be

Speaker:

revealed. Once you take that step, just like.

Speaker:

That Indiana Jones thing that we've all seen, where he gets out

Speaker:

on that one rock. He's jumping out, he's like and there's a rock that appears,

Speaker:

and then he jumps, and there's another this. But you want to make

Speaker:

sure you're on the right rocks, y'all. All right? That's why you need your business

Speaker:

coach. And you want to make sure you don't fall through into a

Speaker:

chasm. And that's why you want your business coach.

Speaker:

I believe that you are here for a reason. I believe

Speaker:

you've tuned in right now because you've been drawn here.

Speaker:

I do believe that, you know, Chuck, I believe matter is energy.

Speaker:

We're all energy. That is physics. But you've

Speaker:

somehow been drawn here. Something nudged you to be here, and

Speaker:

there's a reason for that. So I'll even forgive you if you just cut us

Speaker:

off and go do your application now. And then from there,

Speaker:

I'll have my VA be in touch, and we'll set up your session.

Speaker:

Don't spend another day putting this off.

Speaker:

It's so sad to me. Most people are like, someday I will.

Speaker:

They live on. Someday I Will Island.

Speaker:

And it's a sad island in the Bermuda Triangle.

Speaker:

Yeah, today's the day. Today is the day, and you're in the right place at

Speaker:

the right time. So go and do that now

Speaker:

and find out what is possible for

Speaker:

you and by people who believe

Speaker:

in the possibilities, that's

Speaker:

really what you want to align yourself with, partner yourself with,

Speaker:

and you want to go to the next level. We can't do it alone.

Speaker:

There's no such thing as a solopreneur. That's a term that

Speaker:

people make up to justify being alone.

Speaker:

And nobody is a solopreneur. That's

Speaker:

true. And the lone wolf school of business doesn't

Speaker:

work, I like to say. What happens to lone wolves? They get

Speaker:

eaten. Don't get eaten. We all. Need

Speaker:

community around us, and we all need other people who know

Speaker:

things better than we do, right? Certain things.

Speaker:

I am not a tech wizard, though. I love what tech can do. So I

Speaker:

need people who understand that I need that wizardry

Speaker:

around me. Otherwise, I'll spend so much time

Speaker:

I could just be spending doing what I'm here to do,

Speaker:

trying to figure out something I'm not good at. So stop that, you

Speaker:

all. Do we have time for the quick little formula?

Speaker:

Chuck yeah, let's do that. And then we will bring it home.

Speaker:

All right, let's bring it home. This is Dr Barnsley's.

Speaker:

Hbdo Formula. And I know it sounds like it's a pharmaceutical.

Speaker:

It's not. But that is hire.

Speaker:

H-I-R-E hire. Barter. Delegate.

Speaker:

Omit. This is what you want to think about

Speaker:

in your business. Hire. Get the people

Speaker:

who know how to get you where you're going, because they've gotten there. And make

Speaker:

sure you make sure that they have gotten there. Right. Okay. And

Speaker:

make sure you know that they've gotten other people there. Not just

Speaker:

3%. That's higher. Barter.

Speaker:

Don't tell me you don't have money. There are always ways to barter. I say

Speaker:

creative, a barter bliss. List the things you want to barter for. Like when I

Speaker:

started my business, I bartered for childcare, I bartered for

Speaker:

landscaping. I bartered for a lot of stuff.

Speaker:

You're still supposed to report it on your taxes. You all okay. Just

Speaker:

saying that's. Barter. And it's great because it gives people a

Speaker:

sample of what you do so they can become your raving fans and your

Speaker:

salesforce. Then you've got delegate. Delegate.

Speaker:

But do it in a smart way, which means you train up people

Speaker:

at the front end so that you save time after that. If you

Speaker:

don't train them up, you're going to have to backtrack and clean up a bunch

Speaker:

of messes. And then finally, omit is my favorite. I like to say it

Speaker:

in Spanish, olvedar, because it sounds so good. Olvidar means forget

Speaker:

about it. There's a lot of stuff you're doing you don't even need to be

Speaker:

doing. So stop. Just stop. Omit it.

Speaker:

I don't care that you've responded to all your emails. In fact, I don't

Speaker:

even want you on email except half an hour in the morning. Half an hour

Speaker:

in the afternoon. You're wasting time there. You're doing stuff

Speaker:

that's busy work and not revenue generating. Omit,

Speaker:

the stuff that doesn't create results. So that's Dr. Barnsley's

Speaker:

hbdo formula and use

Speaker:

amazing. Amazing. Well, we're going to put all of that down in the show

Speaker:

notes beneath this video and in the podcast show notes, we've have the

Speaker:

links to your website and your webinar and where they can book a

Speaker:

call with you. And this has just been amazing.

Speaker:

Now, just before we bring this episode in for a

Speaker:

landing, I just want to ask you one question.

Speaker:

It's become almost a social experiment because I started asking

Speaker:

this question originally because it sounded like a good one to

Speaker:

ask, and then I have just been fascinated by

Speaker:

the answer. And see, I believe that our businesses

Speaker:

only grow to the extent that we do, and a big part of that

Speaker:

has been the books. I have some of them here that's not even all of

Speaker:

them. Those are just the ones that make my bookshelf look good.

Speaker:

But I have boxes and boxes and boxes of books and now

Speaker:

audiobooks and digital books and everything.

Speaker:

What would you consider to be the go to, must

Speaker:

read book that anyone on this journey should

Speaker:

read next? One book. Just

Speaker:

one? I know you probably have a big pile of books,

Speaker:

too. I gave 14 big boxes of books to

Speaker:

a local university. Chuck my house was,

Speaker:

like, filled with it's still lots of books, right?

Speaker:

My daughter was you know,

Speaker:

I'm just going to say that one of my favorite books of all time

Speaker:

and it applies to your life, it applies to your business is The

Speaker:

Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

Speaker:

I adore that book. There's also The Four

Speaker:

Agreements at work, but I'll tell you, I don't like that one.

Speaker:

The plain old The Four Agreements. It's such a good

Speaker:

book. It's such a good way to live your life. When you understand The

Speaker:

Four Agreements and you bring those into your business and your

Speaker:

personal life, then you are just not going to have the problems

Speaker:

that you would otherwise have. Or if you have

Speaker:

a problem that comes up, a challenge that comes up, you're going to know how

Speaker:

to deal with it. So it's one of my favorites, one of my all

Speaker:

time favorites. Probably if I had to choose just one

Speaker:

book to kind of live my life by, other than,

Speaker:

say, spiritual books like the Bible or

Speaker:

the Bhagavig Gita, I would choose The Four

Speaker:

Agreements. Yeah. Four agreements. I mean, that's inspired me to maybe go back and read

Speaker:

it because I love it, because

Speaker:

the simplicity. But also it's not that easy

Speaker:

to implement, right? And so that's why you need a book

Speaker:

like that. But it's just amazing when you

Speaker:

start living those as principles in your life,

Speaker:

the difference that it makes. And the biggest one, I believe, is my word

Speaker:

is law. My word is law. My word is law. When

Speaker:

I give my word, I turn myself inside out

Speaker:

to deliver my word is law. And imagine

Speaker:

living your life from there. My word is law. If I say I'm

Speaker:

going to do it, I'm going to do it. And that is

Speaker:

going to make your life so much easier, because then you don't have

Speaker:

to go clean up all the crap that you promised and didn't do

Speaker:

to yourself and others, right? So if we say we're going to go for a

Speaker:

walk, go for the walk. If we say we're going to

Speaker:

generate $5,000 of income this week, do it

Speaker:

come from that place. My word is law. There's no wiggling out

Speaker:

of that. Hold it and stand there. And that makes you such

Speaker:

a powerful human being and a leader for yourself and

Speaker:

others. And everybody here is a leader, Chuck, or they wouldn't be tuning

Speaker:

into your podcast. Absolutely. Well,

Speaker:

my word is law. I think those are beautiful words to end this episode

Speaker:

by. And I didn't even have to ask for the words of wisdom. They just

Speaker:

came pouring out of you. And I think that's what all you

Speaker:

all can expect from

Speaker:

connecting with Dr. Barnsley Brown. And that's why I'm so excited to

Speaker:

have had her as my guest on this show. Make

Speaker:

sure that this was time well spent. Take action. We've got the links

Speaker:

right beneath this video and in the podcast show notes.

Speaker:

And in the meantime, never, ever give up on your big dream,

Speaker:

your mission, your vision, the unique abilities that you have

Speaker:

that can help make the world a better place and ultimately

Speaker:

keep moving forward. And in the meantime, we will see you on the next one.

Speaker:

Thank you, everybody.
