Bree Groves, which shake and bacon. Hey, hey, oh man,
0:19
Okay, so I'm just so happy to have you here. If we've been
0:24
in each other's world for I guess a couple years now, would you say
0:29
I'd like loving each other kind of from a far type situation, which is
0:35
nice. But just a little background on you for the people. A lot
0:42
of people who at least follow me on Instagram already follow you, but I
0:47
know I have listeners who don't necessarily keep up with all the things on the
0:51
gram. So a little bit about you. You are an entrepreneur, you're
0:56
an educator, you are a game changer in your space. You are assumed
1:00
to be seven figure business owner. You are a mama of three wifey.
1:08
What am I missing? All the things? Yeah, that's pretty much it.
1:12
Those are the big ones. Those are the big ones. Yeah.
1:18
And you're just you're just doing the damn thing. I mean, you have,
1:21
really you've You've always been somebody to take massive action, which is one
1:26
of the things that I really admire about you. There are a lot of
1:29
people who talk the talk. You're somebody who you don't even really talk the
1:33
talk. You just do the damn thing and take action, which I really
1:37
admire because I'm kind of a shit talker myself, but I love when somebody
1:41
like quietly just like run shit and you're doing it. So I really admire
1:48
that about you. But before we dive into, you know, the deeper
1:53
things that we're going to be talking about, because we're going to be talking
1:55
about so many good things today. We're gonna be talking about like embodying that
2:00
next level mindset and taking fast action and how you've created what you've created,
2:07
and you know, we're to be going there. But before we go there,
2:10
give us a rundown of how you got started, how you got from
2:16
where you are now, or how you go Yeah, how you got to
2:19
where you are now? Yeah, totally. Yeah. I'm always like,
2:22
Okay, what's the like short version of this because it's long, right,
2:25
give us a long version, a long version. Yeah. So, you
2:29
know, like I've always been the type of person that's wanted to do her
2:32
own thing, you know, Like I wanted to have my own business,
2:36
I wanted to be an entrepreneur, but like for the longest time, I
2:39
just had no idea what it was or what I wanted to do, So
2:43
I did nothing, which I think is what a lot of people do,
2:46
right like you just when you don't know what to do, you just feel
2:50
stuck and you don't do anything. So I was like, okay, this
2:53
way, So for context, when was this, Like when were you not
2:55
taking action? Probably like college years, which was like twelve fifteen years ago.
3:05
Got it okay. So when I was like, okay, like I
3:08
want to do something that's my own, I know that there's more in me.
3:13
I don't want to just work. I had like an administrative job.
3:17
I don't want to do this like for the rest of my life. And
3:22
at that time, I didn't have any kids yet, you know. So
3:23
I decided to like start a blog, and I was like, I love
3:27
fashion, I'll sort of fashion blog. So I did that, but I
3:30
really like treated it more as like a hobby kind of a thing. But
3:35
I gained a lot of experience from it. Then I got pregnant with my
3:39
first son and had to go back to work, Like I had a C
3:43
section. I had to go back to work six weeks after he was born,
3:46
Like my first baby. Had to go back to work full time literally
3:51
just so we could like keep our bills paid, you know, Like there
3:53
was no option for me to not go back to work, and that was
3:57
like the hardest thing ever. And that's when I really started to like be
4:01
like, Okay, this is not what I want for my life, and
4:05
if I want something different, I have to like start doing something different.
4:11
So I decided, you know, I kind of like didn't do much for
4:15
like a year or two until I had my daughter a couple of years later,
4:20
and then I had to go back to work again. And wow,
4:25
I cut my hours back a little bit like thirty, like down from forty
4:29
to thirty. But it was just I was like I cannot keep doing this,
4:32
Like I'm not seeing my babies. I like I want to be home
4:36
with them, and like we're still struggling financially, like there's what's the like
4:41
payoff here. So that's when I was like, I'm just starting something because
4:45
I need to do something. So that's when I decided to start an online
4:47
boutique because I liked clothes. I had done the blog, and I was
4:54
like, I have no experience, but I can learn. So I found
4:58
a course on like commerce and learned like how to source products and how to
5:01
like build e commerce website and all that stuff, and I just went all
5:05
in with my vision in mind of quitting my job being home with my babies.
5:11
Like that was literally what drove me to action was having that vision and
5:15
like feeling those feelings of like what was it going to feel like when I
5:20
get to quit my job and be home with my kids. So I launched
5:25
that and I scaled it organically on Instagram. Year was this, This was
5:30
twenty sixteen. Okay, okay, So you launched your online boutique. So
5:35
you knew nothing, you absolutely you just you bought a course. You're like,
5:39
that sounds cool. I love clothes. I want to do an online
5:42
boutique. I feel like that's such a huge undertaking. Yeah, and it
5:47
was like, okay, you know what that sounds fine, I'm going to
5:49
go for it. Yeah, and you did it. So you had like
5:53
how did you do that? Did you have the clothes in your house and
5:56
you were like actually shipping them out? Yeah? So I like I saw
6:00
like I bought some products wholesale. I did like a pre sale scenario like
6:03
where I was like, hey, you can shop early or whatever. But
6:08
yeah, I had him in my house. I shipped him out of my
6:11
house and it like my first like I think it was my first like forty
6:16
five days, I did six thousand dollars, and like for me at that
6:19
time, like that was like oh my gosh, like, yeah, you
6:23
saw the writing on the way I saw. I saw it, and I
6:28
was just willing to learn, you know. So I learned and I implemented,
6:31
and there were late nights that I stayed up, you know after the
6:34
kids went to bed, or with my laptop while I was nursing, you
6:38
know. But then I started to see and really understand what was possible,
6:46
and I just went all in on social media. That's really where I started
6:48
like getting like the foundations of like where I learned how to like grow and
6:54
make sales on social media. I was I'd be like in the bathroom on
6:57
my bathroom break, like throwing up a post, you know. Yeah,
7:00
back in like the old Instagram where it was the only photos. So much
7:06
since then, but yeah, I ran simple days, yeah right, the
7:11
old days. But yeah, I scaled that to multiple six figures and sales
7:18
loved it. But then I started to get questions from other small business owners
7:25
that were a lot of them like product based businesses, because that's kind of
7:28
like the space I was in like, how are you doing this? How
7:31
are you how are you making sales on Instagram? How are you growing your
7:35
business? So then I that's when I started looking into creating more like digital
7:40
offers to help other people learn. So I started doing that. Probably started
7:47
doing that in like twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen ish, and I like juggled
7:55
to the two for a while, and then I started to get really burned
7:58
out. It was just like too much, and I did That's a big
8:03
part that I skipped. I did get to quit my job with my boutine.
8:07
What did that look like? That was like so amazing? It was
8:13
It was probably like I think my daughter was like nine months old, and
8:16
I quit once my income from the boutique replaced my income from my job,
8:22
and it was just the most amazing feeling in the world. It was exactly
8:28
like I envisioned it feeling. So can we pause there for just a second,
8:33
because I know there's so many people listening who would love to quit their
8:39
current job. You know, that's one of their big goals is to be
8:43
able to go all in and leave the other things so they can pursue their
8:48
side thing is full time. So what was that like? Because you say
8:54
you went all in on the side business. Are there times where you were
9:01
like you were tempted to quit early and go like even more all in?
9:07
You have full time all in or was it one of those things was like
9:11
in agreement with your husband or just in agreement with yourself, Like once we
9:16
hit this amount per month, that's my green light. Like, what take
9:20
us through that thought process because I think it'd be really helpful because for me,
9:24
I had clients in my old business whenever I was managing social media,
9:31
and once I made my first dollar, I was like, I'm out.
9:35
I'm about to be a millionaire. Deuces. I fired everybody and it was
9:41
so hard, And obviously I wouldn't change it because it got me to where
9:45
I am, but it was so damn hard, and I know I totally
9:48
could have balanced. I just didn't want to do the balance. So from
9:52
somebody who's done the opposite, take us through that thought process. Yeah.
9:56
I mean with quitting, it was like, okay, if if we can
10:00
replace my salary and like like consistently it was like three months, I think
10:05
then we were like then then I'm done. So that's that's what we did.
10:11
Once I got to that point I quit and gosh, it was Yeah,
10:18
it was the best feeling because I had I had seen it, you
10:24
know, but like I had, that's what drove me to action every day
10:30
and in my business was that vision that I had in mind, and it
10:37
was it was like it was a hustle, you know, like, yeah,
10:41
it wasn't like easy, like I said, I had like late nights,
10:43
I had to ship out like products like I had like my sister in
10:48
law at one point she like helped me do like my shipping. Like it
10:50
wasn't like easy. And there for sure were a lot of times where I
10:52
like thought about quitting like this, this maybe just isn't going to work,
10:56
or maybe this is just too hard. But it was like that vision that
11:01
kept me going because I'm like if I quit and I go back to what
11:05
I'm doing, then and like how am I going to get children? I
11:07
want to go. Yeah, so it definitely was hard. I always like
11:13
feel like one thing I've learned in my business journey, and I'm sure you
11:15
would probably agree, I feel like the best things are like right around the
11:18
corner from like the hard moments, perfect time when you want to quit,
11:24
when you want to give up when you're like this sucks, it's not working,
11:28
I'm tired, like whatever, Like there's so much goodness on the other
11:33
side of that. So now I've learned to like lean into that instead of
11:37
like run from it. But there were, for sure times where I just
11:41
thought about giving up, but my vision kept me going. So yeah,
11:48
and then so fast forward two thousand and like nineteen, I started doing the
11:52
coaching and that and juggled them both for a while, and then I was
11:56
like they were both kind of like I couldn't give my all to both.
12:00
Some people can do that. I just had a really hard time with that.
12:03
I don't know how people do it either. I don't know either.
12:05
It was like I felt like I was I just wasn't giving they were.
12:11
I was like hurting both businesses really, so I made the really really hard
12:18
decision to close my boutique, which is like literally when I kind of probably
12:22
similar experience to what you had when you had to like let all your clients
12:26
go, because like it was my baby. I built it up. It
12:28
was like this brand, it was successful. It didn't make sense to anyone
12:31
else. They were like, you're making sales, this is successful, it's
12:35
making you money. Why because like at that point, my boutique was actually
12:39
making more than my coaching business was, So it just it didn't make sense.
12:43
But sometimes following your heart does it make sense, right, So then
12:50
that's really where I was feeling pulled was in the coaching So I closed that
12:54
down, like dove into helping other women grow their business is online, helping
13:01
them grow a presence and a brand on social media. And I've had a
13:07
whole lots of different you know, like digital products and courses and offers since
13:11
then. And you know, there was a period of time I didn't just
13:16
start going all in with that business and it just took off immediately. It
13:20
actually like was a couple years of like okay, Like it felt very like
13:24
plateaued for a while, and that was another period when it's like okay,
13:31
like I don't want to keep doing this, and like even my husband,
13:33
who is so supportive, he was like, okay, so do you think
13:37
like this is like this is gonna work kind of thing. But I stuck
13:43
with it and wasn't will or I was willing to just try things and throw
13:48
things out there and you know, not see failures as failures, but just
13:54
says like data and like, Okay, that didn't work. Let's try this.
13:58
Okay, let's try this. And I learned so much through that implementation
14:01
that I don't think I would have learned any other way. And eventually,
14:05
like I found my sweet spot and I'm like things started to click, and
14:11
now like my business is more successful than I ever imagined, and it's so
14:18
fulfilling, helping so many other women start their online businesses, and I just
14:22
I love it so much. But I could have never like envisioned that way
14:26
back when when I was just thinking about starting my boutique. But you just
14:28
have to get started with something and you'll figure it out as you go.
14:33
You don't have to have the whole plan, like I don't know where I'll
14:37
be in five years, like, but you just keep doing, you just
14:39
keep doing the thing. Oh girl, we don't know where we're going to
14:41
be in five months. I mean with all of the new tools that are
14:50
coming out every single day, and you know, like we have threads now.
14:52
Threads wasn't a thing just a few months ago. And the way that
14:56
Instagram changes and using reels reels wasn't a thing two years ago or three years
15:01
ago. So the rate at which online. The online space obviously changes and
15:09
with AI and all again all the tools and the way of doing business and
15:13
the strategies that work. Let alone if you're running a business on it and
15:20
you're trying to teach it, it's really really fascinating. But what I love,
15:26
Okay, well, before I get into like my thoughts on your story
15:30
and my deepening questions, I would love to hear what the timeline was,
15:39
more specifically, when you shifted to teaching and you said that there was like
15:46
some time I think you said a couple of years where it like it was
15:48
okay, but it wasn't as fast as maybe you anticipated. It felt a
15:54
little plateaued, and then there was a point where things clicked for you.
15:58
And I would love to hear what that timeline is because I know, for
16:03
anybody who is experiencing a plateau or who's getting started, or like I know
16:08
for me, I mean I say this constantly in every single episode, entrepreneurship
16:14
comes in ways waves. I'm in a plateau right now, you know.
16:17
So it's like it feels good to hear that, Like the plateau doesn't last
16:22
forever unless you quit, and then that's just the end of your story.
16:26
Yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, I mean I think so. I
16:30
like I started the coaching to twenty nineteen. I probably it was sometime twenty
16:36
twenty when I decided to close down the boutique. I just remember it was
16:38
some time when I was stuck at home, and you know, at that
16:45
point, like most of my courses and programs were like centered around Instagram,
16:49
you know, uh, Instagram growth, that kind of thing, which I
16:56
liked, but I really wanted to help women more with like you know,
17:00
like the deep things that matter, like the foundations and growing your business versus
17:07
like you know, hashtags, use these hashtags, use this, use like
17:11
this hook like you know, like you what filter do? I what preset?
17:17
And I'm like, I want to talk about reprogramming your brain. Okay,
17:22
like the let's get to the juicy or if you are here, but
17:25
what app do you use to add text on? And it's like, oh
17:30
my gosh, I'm gonna jump out a window. Oh my gosh, I
17:33
relate so much. Yes, it's like that's like all of the like sprinkles
17:37
on top of your like content that really yeah, like they can make it
17:41
like pretty and help a little bit, but it's not the foundation to like
17:45
experience, like that's not why you're like your preset isn't why you're not making
17:49
money, baby, like babies, what's right? Talk about this exactly?
17:55
Go ahead? Sorry, yeah, so you know, And I like fought
17:59
that for a while because I was like, well, like I'm just gonna
18:03
keep doing like the like Instagram thing or whatever, even though like in my
18:07
heart, I wanted to do something different. And then it was like when
18:11
I finally like started leaning into helping women like actually start from scratch like I
18:18
did, like with no experience, like not knowing what to do. Like
18:23
that's really when things started to shift for me. And really when I just
18:30
like stopped caring about what people think, which I know it sounds like so
18:34
cliche, like don't care what people think, like just show up unapologetically,
18:40
but that's really what it was, especially in my content, because like I
18:44
remember being like afraid to be like, hey, like comment like below if
18:48
you want me to like send you this link or tell me your thoughts.
18:52
Like I was nervous to like give like calls to action and my content because
18:56
I was like, well, what if nobody what if nobody does, then
19:00
I'm gonna look stupid, you know, like and trust me there, we've
19:03
all done it where nobody commented if it's not a good time, and it's
19:08
part of it right exactly. So so I just was like, you know
19:14
what, I don't care, Like I don't care if no one comments.
19:18
I'm here. I'm doing my thing like I'm going for it. I'm building
19:21
my business like trusting my heart, trusting like my intuitions, the things that
19:26
I feel like I'm called to do. And then things started to pick up
19:30
momentum. But it didn't just like magically pick up momentum. I like really,
19:36
because I was saying, you know, it's easy to say like I'm
19:38
doing all the things, I'm like doing everything right, but then when you
19:42
like take a step back, you're like, Okay, am I really like,
19:45
am I really doing everything I know to do? Yeah? Make those
19:51
right? Right? Am I doing the right things? Like we can.
19:55
You can run yourself ragged and busy all day long, but like I always
19:59
I've been talking about this lately this week, that Pereto principle, Right,
20:02
eighty percent of your results are going to come from only twenty percent of your
20:04
actions. So people literally are so busy doing quote unquote what they assume is
20:11
all of the things when it's like, yeah, but two of those things
20:15
need to be done really well because that's where your results are going to come
20:18
from, and they're avoiding those things, right exactly, Oh my gosh,
20:22
totally. It's like spending three hours a day on making your website look pretty.
20:26
It's not going to make you many yeah, right exactly. Yeah,
20:30
but it's easy to get caught up in those things, like the busy work
20:34
kind of thing it is. And I'm not when I say that, like
20:37
I'm not making fun. We've all been there. Oh yeah. But and
20:41
the only reason why I can point that out now is because I witnessed it
20:45
in myself. I had to call it out in myself, and now because
20:48
I've been there and I have that level of awareness, I can see it
20:52
when other people are doing it too. And you're absolutely right, it's like
20:56
I had. I mean, you and I have similar stories in regard to
21:00
when things took off. For me, it was very similar. It was
21:03
like, Okay, I'm gonna start talking about the things that I actually want
21:07
to talk about, not talking about hashtags anymore. Sorry, and I'm gonna
21:12
allow myself to be more of who I am, and also stop putting at
21:19
the bottom of my to do list the thing that's most important because I'm afraid
21:23
of failing, or because I'm afraid that it's going to be hard or it's
21:26
going to be awkward. Like that's the thing that's actually going to move the
21:30
needle. And I love how you said the feeling like you start to move
21:36
toward that feeling now, the nervousness, the feeling of like, oh gosh,
21:40
what if this doesn't work? Because you're absolutely right, that's where the
21:44
growth comes from when you do the thing, when you go through the hard
21:47
season, Like that's a good sign. But so many people are addicted to
21:52
comfort that they feel any ounce of anxiety, any ounce of discomfort, any
21:57
ounce of nervousness, and say, oh no, this is bad. I'm
22:02
in a dangerous zone. Let me go numb out some more. Let me
22:03
go get comfortable and put a big old blanket around myself and wonder why I'm
22:07
not moving and going anywhere because I'm saying that I want to do it.
22:11
I'm doing quote all the things, but when things get hard, I were
22:14
tracked and you just I mean, you said it so well, like you've
22:18
got to recognize that that is actually good for you, it is helping you.
22:22
Yes, Oh it's so true. It's so true. And yeah,
22:27
the best things are on the other side of that. And I always,
22:30
like I tell my students, I'm like, you have to like get to
22:33
a place where like your vision and your desires are louder than your fears,
22:38
Like you have to make them louder in your head and make them stronger in
22:42
your head. So I mean, that's that's really that's really what I had
22:47
to do. But then I had to do like what you're saying, I
22:48
had to assess and be like, what are my income producing actions? Like
22:53
what do I have to do every day to meet my goal? Because like
22:59
it's really daily actions that lead to the to the end goal, whatever your
23:04
end goal is. Like, we went me and my husband. I think
23:07
I told you about this when we were in Nashville, but we went to
23:11
Disney World, like back in August. My husband is just to you too,
23:15
Yep, just the two of us. I'm like total Disney. That
23:18
was my favorite part. I was like, wait, the kid, you
23:19
have three children and that's amazing. And we went alone. Yeah. Yeah,
23:25
so yeah, I've gotten like since I was a kid. It's just
23:27
what's I love it the nostalgic thing for me. But we went like with
23:32
we were planning a trip to go without our kids, and I was like,
23:34
I want to stay at the nice place, Like I want to stay
23:37
at the Grand Floridian, and which is like so beautiful, yeah, beautiful
23:44
hotel there. I did never stay it there before, and I've been going
23:47
there since I was a kid, you know. So I was like,
23:48
that's my goal. Like that's like the tangible thing that I'm putting as my
23:52
goal. And this was like in May when I had launched like my My,
23:56
a new digital product, and I was like, Okay, if I
23:59
can like one sale a day, Like if I can make one sale a
24:03
day, then I'll feel like I can reach my goal. And I literally
24:06
like saw myself and like felt what it would feel like to like check into
24:10
the nice hotel and be like I belong here like this, like I'm not
24:15
going into debt to stay here, like this is easy and I can pay
24:18
for this and we can have fun and like my business is making money.
24:22
Like I really like just felt those feelings and I'd like let that drive me
24:26
to action. Every day of Okay, what do I need to do today
24:30
to make that one sale? And then the next day, okay, what
24:33
do I need to do to make that one sale? And then that it
24:37
probably took and for for me and for most people, that thing is marketing
24:44
or content. I was going to ask you, what what are these what
24:47
are the actions? Because there's not a lot of them. It's very quite
24:51
simple, right for me, it was. I mean obviously, like I
24:53
had to take the time, and I teach my students how to like take
24:56
the time to like, Okay, let's you have to get like honed in
24:59
on your messaging, you have to like figure out who you're speaking to,
25:03
like all of those things. But then I literally just like repeated myself every
25:08
day, and my content I talked about the same thing, was talking to
25:12
the same person, you know, just showcasing my product as like the solution,
25:17
as like the thing that's bridging the gap between what my idel customer like
25:21
where they are now and where they want to go. And I was just
25:23
like presenting it as the solution and just like also showing up to connect and
25:30
serve people and like actually talk to people and have conversations and respond to messages
25:36
and things like that. So that was really like those are my income producing
25:40
actions. For me, it was like one real a day on the weekdays
25:44
and then like engaging daily, except for like I gave myself the weekends off
25:49
when okay, pause engaging daily because this is I want people to hear this.
25:56
This is part of the strategy and it's a big piece. But I
25:59
will say I will say I go in seasons with this, Like there are
26:03
seasons where I'm super in my DMS and like I want to engage. I
26:08
want to hear about your puppy and like where you all are going on vacation
26:12
and what you had a dream about last night, and like the type of
26:15
ice cream that you're loving right now. But then there are other seasons,
26:19
for example, like this season I'm in right now, like I have less
26:22
bandwidth just because I've got I've got a small baby. We're still not fully
26:27
sleeping. There's a lot going on, you know, and that's fine,
26:33
But I'm just curious what does that look like for you? Like from a
26:36
strategic perspective, you post a real a day and then you show up in
26:41
your stories and I want to talk more about that because I think you're you're
26:44
so brilliant with your marketing, and I want to dive deeper. But as
26:48
far as engagement, what does this actually look like? Yeah? So for
26:52
me, I mean I like so, like I said, kind of all
26:56
my contents based around like presenting a solution to my customers, but really like
27:03
serving them with my products. So it's not it doesn't feel like selling,
27:07
like I know a lot of people are afraid of being sales e. You're
27:10
like you're serving them with your with your with your content. But as far
27:14
as like engagement goes, I like would always have something in like my reel
27:18
and and I prioritize reels during this time, and I still do because it
27:22
is like kind of the like most prioritized form of content, like is like
27:29
just ting the Internet across the board. You know, there's TikTok, there's
27:33
like YouTube shorts, just like everything's video content. So I can't even remember
27:38
the last time I did like a normal post besides a real So I was
27:42
like, I'm gonna do a real and I would either like ask a question
27:48
in there or like I use chat automations like and that's like part of like
27:55
the passive systems that I teach to like help get my resources to people like
28:00
when they're looking for it. So I would be like, hey, comment
28:04
passes below and I'll send you the link to my free guide like with all
28:07
the steps to get started. So someone does that and that like starts a
28:12
conversation in your DMS with someone, right, So it's it's beneficial in two
28:18
ways, where it's getting someone the resource right when they're on because we know
28:22
how important it is keep people's attention on social media when they're there, but
28:27
then also it starts conversation, so I do it that way, and then
28:30
you know, I always like follow up with like, hey, if you
28:33
have any questions, like, I'm here to chat, so I leave that
28:37
open and then I just like take the time to like respond, respond to
28:42
comments, respond to questions. And then in my stories, I you know,
28:48
I do things in my stories to drum up engagement. Okay, now
28:55
you use many chat and this is the automation piece. So I'm sure people
29:00
listening you've seen this, You've seen me do this, You've seen other people
29:03
do this where it's like this newer. It's not like super new, but
29:07
it's I feel like it's more utilized now where people are giving a call to
29:11
action, You comment and you get an automatic DM. And I think you
29:15
can do other things too, but I think that's like the main way that
29:18
people use it. So utilize many chat and when do you do this?
29:23
So let's say like you made a post and somebody says, okay, I
29:27
want I want your playbook, so passive and it sends them. So does
29:30
it just say like, hey, here's here's the link to the playbook,
29:36
grab it. And then the call to action is if you have any questions,
29:38
let me know that can Is that the conversation opener or does it go
29:44
deeper? Does it say like what kind of business do you have? And
29:47
then you let them respond? Yeah, it's pretty simple. So I do
29:52
like, hey, like here's here's the link to the info on the playbook,
29:55
as you requested, you know, and then it shoots. It has
29:57
like a little like learn more button so they can click that button. It
30:02
takes them to the sales page. And I have like I have like an
30:04
Instagram version of my sales page that's like way more dumb down than like my
30:08
big long form sales page. That's just like bullets to the point. Here's
30:12
what you're getting a couple testimonials, and I when I switched that that like
30:18
did I saw a like shift in my conversions. And then it's just like,
30:23
hey, yeah, if you have any questions about anything, reach out.
30:27
I'm here to chat because people like people know that it's an automation and
30:32
people are fine with it, but it is nice to be like, hey,
30:36
if you do want to chat, I actually am I actually am here
30:37
to I really am a human. I'm not rebought right, I'm actually really
30:45
pleasantly surprised by the response of people being cool because I feel like a year
30:51
ago, if somebody been like, you know, there's gonna be come a
30:52
time where you're using this chat automation and I mean again, this has been
30:56
around for a while, but I never embraced I was like, no,
31:00
people aren't gonna vibe with that, Like people don't want to talk to robots.
31:03
But what's cool about it? And I think the thing that people appreciate
31:07
is the speed which they can say I'm interested and they get the information they
31:11
can move. Otherwise, you, like you said, you lose people's interests
31:17
totally. And that's that's what like in the beginning, I was like,
31:21
Okay, I can manage this manually. I'll just set the links manually.
31:23
Well, then I'm like, I'm like, my whole goal is to like
31:27
automate things as much as possible. And if I'm always having to be on
31:30
my phone responding to people, I'd like, that's not what I'm going for.
31:36
But and also like I'm not serving them if they if it's three hours
31:41
later and they've moved on and they're trying to like feed their family dinner,
31:44
and they might just forget about it. That's like human nature, Like how
31:47
many times do we abandon her when we're shopping or whatever. So yeah,
31:52
I love the automations. But then I I weave lots of like authenticity and
31:56
real conversation into my content and in my stories and things like that. So
32:01
I do think that most people appreciate it. And it is like, as
32:06
a business owner, it's such a weight lifted because you're able to get someone
32:10
what they're asking for, who's interested, You're able to get it to them
32:15
literally immediately. Yeah, it's a it's a fantastic strategy. So Okay,
32:20
that's helpful to know like what your DMS look like and the time that you're
32:24
spending. You're just taking the time and it's a priority. It's part of
32:28
your It's not just this thing that you kind of make time for, it's
32:32
it's part of your business. These are your office hours that you're prioritizing here.
32:37
And I want to say too, you're so good at I'm going to
32:44
say this, but like I don't mean it. In it like a simple
32:46
way, like keeping your marketing simple, and it's so effective. Like I
32:52
feel like the more simple it can be, the more effective. And you're
32:55
so good at while you're on a walk, or while you're out with your
33:00
babies, or you're at Disney World, or you're about to get your nails
33:06
done, or you're just in the car at car pickup, taking a cute
33:09
little picture or a little video and posting a you know, like a screen
33:15
grab of somebody's testimonial for one of your programs or a DM of somebody saying,
33:20
Bree, you like I just made my first hundred dollars, first thousand
33:23
dollars, And you're so good at using that as your marketing and to your
33:29
point, serving and showcasing this solution. And I couldn't agree with you more.
33:35
I think a lot of people they have this anxiety and this like weird
33:38
charge and frequency with the words selling, so they don't allow themselves to do
33:43
it. But all you're doing if you really believe in what you're selling,
33:47
and you really believe it's the solution to your audience's problem, you are serving
33:52
them. Hey, you want to make more money, I've got the thing
33:57
for you here. Allow me to cut a sligh of this for you.
34:00
You're welcome, you know it. Just it totally changes that. And I
34:05
love watching you market because it feels so seamless to your day to day,
34:10
Like you're not making these super fancy graphics. You're not going like over the
34:17
top. It feels very attainable. It feels like like if I didn't have
34:22
the business that I had, and I was following you, and I had
34:25
any desire in my bones to start a business, but I had any doubt.
34:29
If I saw you, I would be like, Okay, if it
34:32
can look like that and be as successful as she is, I'm in,
34:37
like, say less, I'm in. You're just so brilliant at your strategy
34:40
in that way. Oh thank you? Yeah? Yeah, I mean I
34:45
really I really try to just like because like I want to show my students
34:52
and clients that like, you can do this, like it doesn't have to
34:57
look perfect, Like I like don't have makeup on like most days, you
35:01
know. But I'm still like in my stories and showing that transformation and showing
35:07
showing how it's making a difference like for me in my life, and how
35:12
it's making a difference in my student's life and how lives and how it's affecting
35:16
them and helping them with Also, I mean, like you said, like
35:21
the real life things like hey, I'm in the carporal pickup line, but
35:23
I just got the DM. You know, it doesn't have to be a
35:27
lot of times, especially with social media, like you said earlier, people
35:30
focus on like does my grand have to look perfect? Do I have to
35:34
make fancy covers in Canva? Like all this stuff. I'm like, no,
35:38
like, just get it out there, Like, yeah, just get
35:42
it out there. Some of the most like successful accounts on Instagram like are
35:47
not like aesthetic. And I think it's important to have like a brand and
35:51
colors and like a vibe. But but a brand isn't an esthetic, right,
35:57
Like it's something that you can have. But you're absolutely right, there
36:00
are a lot of people, like I think of Glennon Doyle, who is
36:02
one of the greatest authors of our generation, and you know, she has
36:06
an insane audience and following in message, and I think the last time I
36:09
looked at her page, I mean it was a hot ass mess. Like
36:13
it doesn't matter if you have a message and you're taking action and you're you
36:17
figured out what your zone of genius is and you double the hell down on
36:21
that and you serve and you serve and you serve like it's your job because
36:24
it is. You're going to get somewhere and that that's exactly what you've done.
36:30
Do you feel comfortable sharing And if you don't, you don't have to
36:34
share this because it's deeply, deeply personal. But do you feel comfortable sharing
36:38
your revenue growth and like even like a roundabout of what it looks like maybe
36:45
what it was a year ago versus what it is now. And by the
36:47
way, we could totally take this out if you don't feel comfortable, Yeah,
36:51
totally, No, I feel comfortable. And I always like I try
36:53
to be transparent, even like with my audience on Instagram, because I want
36:58
them to see like what's possible, Like that's really what like in the beginning
37:02
what made me think, Okay, I can maybe I can start a boutique
37:06
is because I saw another mom who had an e commerce business who was like,
37:10
I went from zero to one hundred K in a year, Like if
37:15
I could do this, you can do this, So like, yeah,
37:16
I think it's so important to share that, like in an authentic way.
37:22
Obviously there's like a lot of like scammy crap on Instagram, you know,
37:28
where someone's like I've made a million dollars in three weeks. But I always
37:32
emphasized like like like anything that's worth anything, like it takes work and it
37:38
takes intention. It doesn't happen overnight, but you absolutely can have insane results
37:45
and growth. And for me, I mean if I think like this,
37:49
like this time last year, it was probably like when I was in like
37:52
a really in between spot where I was like teaching like the like my old
37:58
kind of like Instagram strategy course and like like trying to like figure out,
38:01
Okay, what's the offer where I can really start helping women, like start
38:06
from scratch. And that's when I decided to start. In the spring of
38:12
this year is when I started working on my passive profit playbook, which is
38:15
like like my like foundational offer to helping women, like start with like one
38:22
digital product, right, like, just start with the one thing, Like
38:23
you don't have to know all of the things, just start with something.
38:27
So I mean this time last year, I mean my revenues were super inconsistent.
38:35
I mean if I had like a if I had a five thousand dollars
38:37
month, that was like a really good month. Shut up at this time
38:43
last year. Yeah, dude, what y'all wait till you hear what she's
38:46
doing right now. You're gonna die. O MG, this is this is
38:53
what makes me so happy though, Like, and this is why I asked
38:58
this question. I didn't realize it was that drastic of a difference, but
39:01
holy shit, Like this is because I know you were about to you were
39:07
about to blow some people's minds on what is possible because we've all been in
39:12
that season of like damn, if this doesn't improve at some point, then
39:15
I just don't have what it takes. Like I just you know, and
39:19
you hear what other people are doing and it can mess with your head.
39:21
Okay, so go ahead, keep going please yep. So, Like like
39:24
I said, like I had like put out a ton of different things like
39:28
just testing to see what worked, and this was like one of the things
39:31
that I was like, okay, like let's try this. But it felt
39:35
the most aligned, like in my heart, like it felt like the thing
39:39
that like this is my this is the thing. So I launched that in
39:46
May. I think back then, gosh, i'd have to go back and
39:52
look. I think I had twenty thousand followers back then on Instagram, and
39:57
my first month, gosh, i'd have to I have an Instagram post where
40:01
I like go through it month by month, and I can't remember what the
40:04
first month was. I literally can't remember. I feel like it was like
40:07
ten or something, which which was awesome, like yeah, so awesome because
40:13
I had kind of thrown everything out of the water and like wasn't really making
40:16
much revenue at all the like like late winter, early spring, because I
40:22
was like I basically like burned everything and was like rebuilding. So but then
40:27
it was then June was forty five K, and then July was seventy five
40:32
K, and then August and September we're both past the sixth figure mark.
40:39
September was one twenty five, twenty five, and when we October seventeenth,
40:49
I met sixty I think for the month. Oh my god, which is
40:53
just it sounds insane and like fast, but I tell my students, like,
41:00
it's the compounded action over time. Like if I hadn't done the work
41:07
and tested and learned and tried and saw what did and didn't work, it
41:10
seemed really fast. But it's I mean, it's a combination of things.
41:15
But it's because I like finally did the thing that I like felt in my
41:21
heart that I needed to do. I took the stinking action the right actions
41:24
every day. I mean, that really is the biggest thing. Well,
41:30
that's why I asked you your background. Yeah right, I didn't come in
41:35
here and I was like, yo, she's six figures a month. Here's
41:38
what she does. Now. Yeah, it'd be like cool, thanks,
41:44
But like to hear that there was a time where you quit your job to
41:51
be home with your babies, had another baby, had to go back to
41:54
your job, quit again, or like lowered your hours balancing this boutique that
42:00
you had no idea how to run and you just figured it out, super
42:05
scrappy, balancing both worlds. Finally get to the point where you're breaking even
42:09
on the job versus the business. Quit the business, decide that this business
42:15
that's paying you isn't really the thing that you want to do. Everybody thinks
42:17
that you're crazy. You shift your business and you pivot towards what you're actually
42:22
passionate about. You have to do that. A couple of times. You're
42:25
putting out these offers. You're hitting about five to k a month, which
42:29
is like okay, but all the while, data data, data, data,
42:37
data, data. And then all of a sudden you're like, okay,
42:39
I tried this, didn't work. Let me tweak it this way.
42:43
Okay, that worked a little bit more. Let me tweak it a little
42:45
bit more this way. Let me say this a little different, let me
42:46
do this a little different. Wow, that worked really well. And then
42:49
the next thing, you know, boom and it freaking clicks. But this
42:54
is like, how many years does that breathe that it took you to get
42:58
to this point? Oh my gosh. I mean, if you go back
43:00
to I mean, I started the boutique in twenty sixteen, right, if
43:04
you go all the way back to that, I started my coaching, I
43:07
guess in twenty nineteen, so you know, yeah, that's what four years?
43:12
Yeah, and again, and this is It kind of leads me to
43:15
where you and I came together because we started working together when things like started
43:22
really popping off, and I'll never forget you reach out to me. You're
43:23
like, Ali, I don't know what's happening. I do know, but
43:28
this is crazy. I'm like, girl, it's your time to shine.
43:30
Let's go, you know. And it's just been so cool because you were
43:35
popping off well before. You can't like I listen, you were already doing
43:37
the damn thing, you know, and like anyway, you know, hearing
43:43
what you're doing and seeing from my perspective your zone of genius, it's like,
43:47
oh damn. And the sexiest part about what it is that you do
43:52
is how simplified it is. That's the thing. Like, you're doing this
43:57
mostly mostly from a ninety seven dollars offer digital passive. She has done it
44:05
one time. She has created a funnel, and she's got this automation.
44:09
She So your job, quite literally is to show up, create a real
44:15
day, engage, build some connection, show that you're a real life human,
44:19
share how this is supporting other people, and it just runs its freaking
44:22
self, like the gasoline is the content in the marketing. And then the
44:27
engine is the thing that you set one time and walked away. And it's
44:30
just like I'm obsessed because I know so many people in their own right who
44:37
are creating the most incredible businesses and it's great, But I don't think I've
44:44
yet to come across somebody who is doing it at and hitting these type of
44:50
results and as simplified as a manner that you are. So that is like
44:58
I'm so bl loan away by it, and you should be so proud of
45:02
yourself. I mean, I tell you this every day of your life,
45:05
but I'm like, bring your bockstock. Yeah, but uh, anyway,
45:09
it's so cool, but like it brings me to where you and I kind
45:14
of came together because number one, I saw what you're doing. I'm like,
45:19
sh I want some of that. Like I'm sitting here sending these messages
45:23
myself. I'm all, you know, like if anybody needs passive in their
45:28
world, it's me. It's just one of those things that like I'll do
45:31
it later. I'll come to it later. I'll come to it later,
45:34
you know. And then and the reason why you came to me is to
45:38
diversify and kind of like kick up your not your offer is a notch right,
45:43
how to take them from this ninety seven dollars offer and create the offer
45:46
ladder and grow what is an insane business right now to like, uh,
45:53
even more insane business, you know, by by by nurturing and continuing to
45:59
serve the people who love you and who have earned You've earned their trust through
46:02
this offer. So one at the thing, like I'll never forget. We
46:07
were boxering one day and we were just like, I was like, you
46:12
know, you bring this to the table. I bring this to the table.
46:15
What would it look like if we somehow joined forces because we both we
46:22
have like this the pieces of the puzzle, you know, but just different
46:27
yep. And we're like, yeah, that's that's a cool idea. And
46:31
what was it? Like two weeks later, we're in Nashville together. How
46:36
fast was it? Oh? Yeah, it was so fast. You were
46:37
like this would be cool. I was like, yes, hey, I
46:43
booked a flight. I think I booked it in the middle of the night,
46:45
at like one am. And you didn't even know that I booked it.
46:46
Yeah, you were like, I booked a fight. I was like,
46:49
great, I'll figure out an air baby. But yeah, it was
46:54
fast. It was so fast. Well, and that's that's point too that
47:00
I know that we wanted to talk about, because while your story my story,
47:07
anybody who's who's achieved anything in ninety nine point nine percent of most cases,
47:14
especially with business and especially online business, it's it's it's a process,
47:17
it's a road right to get there, and then like things pop off and
47:21
it looks like an overnight success, and we all know how that works.
47:24
But or and as you kind of start figuring out and you got a foundation
47:31
under your feet and you realize what it is that you're doing, there comes
47:35
a point where you start taking action faster. And I think about this a
47:42
lot because I have seasons where I feel like I'm like in an overthinking season,
47:47
and then there are seasons where I my confidence. I think it's totally
47:51
linked to your confidence, and my confidence is a little bit higher, and
47:55
I move faster, and you can't deny when you move faster and you have
48:00
higher confidence, and you don't overthink the things. Things move, and things
48:04
happen, And we love that. And in our case, like that's kind
48:08
of a common denominator with both of us, is we both when we get
48:15
ideas, we don't sit there like, Okay, let's sit down and let's
48:20
like look at the optics and let's figure out it's just like, no,
48:23
I love that idea. I'm going to book a plane ticket. We're gonna
48:27
get together, let's take some cute pictures and let's get this on and pop
48:29
in. And I wanted people to hear that, even if that's the only
48:32
thing we say about that, Yeah, I want people to hear that because
48:37
we've put together what I'm calling a super offer, because to me, that's
48:42
what it is. I love it, and I know one day we're going
48:46
to look back and be like, holy shit, like from this random idea
48:50
and us moving really fast, you know, within a span of a couple
48:52
of weeks, getting together, taking some cute pictures and delivering and serving our
48:58
audience in this way. This happened like look what we created, Look look
49:02
what we helped people do. Yeah, and it's because we moved fast and
49:07
we didn't over freaking think it. Now, how has this been? Do
49:13
you have anything to add, like how you've learned how to do this yourself?
49:16
Because like I said, I've I've had seasons where and I feel like
49:21
in the beginning of my business it was all overthinking because you don't really know
49:23
when you're you're more nervous, you don't know it's gonna work. But the
49:28
faster you move, even if you mess up, you're learning right, and
49:31
it's like, okay, that didn't work. Now we get to hurry to
49:35
the part that does work. So I just want to see if you want
49:37
to riff on it a little bit. Yeah, yeah, totally. I
49:39
love that, And I think I've learned the same thing like in business,
49:43
like just like you're never gonna know if something is gonna come of something if
49:49
you don't just try it and like throw it out there. And I have
49:52
found that a lot of times it's the things that I throw out there because
49:57
I'm excited about them that that really do the best, Like especially when you're
50:05
marketing your business on social media, like people feel that, like people can
50:07
feel through your content how you're showing up and if you're excited about something,
50:13
so I really in person, Yeah, I love it. I love that
50:16
we just like jumped on it and self asked, and I'm so excited about
50:19
it. It's gonna be so good. Well, and I want to add
50:22
something to what you just say, because what you just said was really powerful.
50:27
And this is I'm glad you said it, because this is one of
50:30
the reasons why I try and remind myself to move because when you get a
50:35
good idea, not to say that every single idea that runs through your head
50:38
you need to jump on. So what I'm saying, but you know when
50:44
you get a goodie, right, yeah, and the energy behind it,
50:50
and that energy is magnetic when you feel something and you're like, oh damn.
50:55
And that's how we felt. Like when we started having this conversation.
51:00
I was like, do you think and you're like, oh my god,
51:01
that would be brilliant. Are you kidding? And like the energy was palpable.
51:06
Now if we had been like, you know, Halloween's here, so
51:10
my kids like probably want to go trick or treating, so and like,
51:15
you know, Breeze going to Hawaii this week and then next thing, you
51:19
know, Thanksgiving, and then the next thing, you know, Christmas,
51:21
and nobody you know, I heard that people don't like to buy over the
51:23
holidays, So maybe we table this until January, right, Like, let's
51:29
just be safe, let's get through the holidays. We'll come back together.
51:34
I would put a lot of money down that we would never do it.
51:37
Oh, or if we did, it just wouldn't be the same, like
51:43
that energy of the good idea. And I truly believe, Like there's what's
51:46
the book by Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic. She talks about this. She
51:51
like where the mus you know, if you believe in I don't know.
51:53
She she goes there, but it's like this, there's a creative muse that
51:58
floats around and when you're and you're tapped in, they drop this idea on
52:01
your head and if you don't move on it, they're gonna move on to
52:06
somebody else who will move on it. So anyway, I just wanted to
52:09
throw that out there because I really do believe, again, not every single
52:14
idea that comes through your head is a banger, trust me. I know
52:21
I've tested that theory too. Nope, but but yeah, when you get
52:24
the idea, move go because the more that you and the more that I
52:30
tinker with it. And I'm like, well maybe because we when we thought
52:35
of this idea, which we're going to tell you guys about it obviously,
52:37
but when we got it, it was very clear We're like, this is
52:40
going to be a program and we want it to be like like we we
52:45
already knew the price point. You know, we're like, we like that,
52:50
and I think if we had and there was a moment where we're like,
52:52
well, should we make it more of like this or should we mess
52:54
with it more of it like that? Then you're kind of like you're taking
52:59
that idea and you're altering it from a very mind based, three D human
53:06
perspective, which sometimes is okay, but sometimes that first idea is the move.
53:13
I'm proud of ourselves for keeping the idea the idea, and it's just
53:19
it's badass. So do you want to talk about it? Yeah, let's
53:22
talk about it. Yay, Okay. So, like I said, Bri
53:27
and I we bring different levels of expertise to the table. You know,
53:30
she has figured out and I would say completely nailed the passive side and the
53:37
simplicity and like, hey start here and set it and forget it. I
53:44
bring the like, Okay, let's pour gasoline on that fire. You know,
53:47
let's take that thing or the idea that you have and let's take it
53:52
next level and take it from an idea and a thing that works to a
53:59
business to like a legacy type vibe, a brand vibe. You know.
54:05
So those two things come together the super offer that we're calling passive social sales
54:12
because that's exactly what it is and what we're going to be teaching. Because
54:16
this is available right now. As this goes live, you can join.
54:24
The price point I think is like half of what it will be eventually,
54:29
right yeah, because it's not coming out, it won't be available till November,
54:31
so we're pre selling it right now like an insane deal. And what
54:36
you're going to learn in this is our signature three tiered passive organic business model
54:42
to create raving clients in scalable skit s scalable sales. You're gonna learn step
54:50
by step guidance on your brand in social media aesthetic because that's important. Your
54:53
brand and your aesthetic is important. So we're going to talk about that,
54:57
how to create and attract in the right clients so that people will actually buy
55:00
from you. We're going to talk about how to decide the revenue that actually
55:05
makes sense for you and that you actually want to claim, and how to
55:08
structure this three tiered system to hit that level of revenue, which is very
55:15
important. We don't want to just say I want a seven figure business and
55:19
then sell a ninety seven dollars offer with three hundred people following you. The
55:22
math does it math? So we need to figure that out. Bree,
55:27
of course, is going to teach us all how to automate this thing,
55:30
how to put it in the machine, through your social media, through many
55:36
Chat, and the funnel piece. So she's showing both. She's not only
55:39
going to show many Chat, She's going to show the funnel piece for all
55:44
of those funnels that are going to serve your people. And then we're going
55:49
to talk about social media content too, because again, if you want,
55:52
like you can have the funnel all day, but if you don't understand how
55:55
to market these things in an effective way, nobody's going to buy. So
56:00
that is passive social sales. I mean you can go to the link in
56:02
the show notes or either of our instagrams and learn more about it and join.
56:08
Oh I'm so excited. I wanted to start. I know, I
56:15
know, but you're going to Hawaii. So because she's living and that that
56:22
was the driver and what got us most excited about this. What makes me
56:27
personally, selfishly the most excited about this is because what I teach some of
56:35
it can be passive for sure, but it's a little bit more hands on
56:38
in the way that I've traditionally taught it. You know, you're going to
56:43
have your moments where you are hosting the call and you are you know,
56:45
doing the things. But with this, you can go and set it and
56:52
create it and then take off all of the holidays and just let it run
56:55
for you and batch a little bit of content and schedule your or take five
57:00
minutes a day post your content, let that fuel the machine, and go
57:06
live your life. And that's our our tagline for this is set it,
57:10
forget it, and live your life. So yeah, I love it.
57:17
It's so good. It really is, like it it like makes me so
57:22
excited when I was like think about how we were like in that moment,
57:24
like what was it was it a month ago that we even had this idea.
57:29
It was not that long ago, No, it was, But it's
57:31
just it just makes sense, like you have helped me to like build in
57:37
the offers like next level to help my students and my clients at different at
57:45
different points in their journey. So I love that we're teaching that. And
57:50
it's really like it's like building your building a business by design, like based
57:53
on what you want and like what you goles are and what what is your
57:58
revenue? You your revenue goal, and that's going to look different for everyone.
58:02
So yeah, it's gonna be fully We're not going to be like,
58:06
Okay, you need to go for this goal. It's going to be like,
58:08
here's how to determine what your goal is and what it what it wants
58:14
to look like, what your offer wants to look like. We're not going
58:15
to say you need to create first a digital product and then you need to
58:20
have a course, and we're just going to present you a bunch of different
58:22
ideas and show you how to set it in a funnel and how to automate
58:27
it, and how to price it to hit your goal, and then how
58:31
to market it to get to the people. So it's fully customizable so that
58:37
you can live well you earn, and earn well you live. So we
58:42
have a few more minutes. I would love to hear before we go,
58:46
because you touched on a couple of things or one thing specifically that I really
58:50
wanted to go deep on, and I think it's important for this conversation too,
58:54
and that's like the mindset piece. And you mentioned a few times times
59:00
how it's not that you knew the actions to take, it's that you you
59:07
started with a vision. It was the vision that fueled you, but then
59:10
you took it even deeper and you're like I felt the feelings of walking into
59:15
the Floridian and paying it with cash and being comfortable, and like that was
59:21
the thing that pushed you. So do you have practices around this? Do
59:27
you meditate? Like what does your mindfulness practices look like? If you even
59:31
or you may not have any, you may keep it that simple, which
59:35
I think I would fall in love with you even more so just tell us
59:37
yeah, totally, Yeah, I have Like I've never really been like the
59:43
person to like keep up with a vision board and like like I've tried to
59:46
and I've like made the cute thing and then it like sat in a closet
59:50
somewhere. But like, yeah, for me, like at least the way
59:54
my brain works, it helps when I have short term goals, like for
59:59
me saying like I want to build my dream home in five years, Like
1:00:02
that's awesome, and I do want to do that, but like like I
1:00:07
need something that's like more tangible and like that you can feel now, Yes,
1:00:14
So I can feel now like and that could be anything, you know
1:00:17
what I mean, but like that was the that was the thing, And
1:00:22
I do think it's really important to like because like one of the biggest like
1:00:25
things that come up when I'm having conversations with women who are thinking about starting
1:00:30
something is like it's always the same, like, well, what I see
1:00:35
so many people doing what I'm doing? What's going to make someone want to
1:00:38
buy from me? When there's other people selling this? And like what if
1:00:43
I don't have what? It? Like? It's just like your brain is
1:00:45
full of all of the like negative what if and like you won't you can't
1:00:52
do anything if if you let that take if you let that kind of craft
1:00:58
take up all of the space in your brain, like you because the truth
1:01:01
is like there's a lot of people that like do what I do? You
1:01:06
know what I mean? But like I say all the time, I'm a
1:01:09
diamond. Doesen't like what it is that I what it is that I teach
1:01:14
is a diamond? Doesn't I am the differentiator? You are the differentiator.
1:01:17
This person who's listening to this is the secret sauce behind the thing. Like
1:01:22
you're going to teach, you teach what you teach in a different way.
1:01:25
I teach what I teach in a different way. But the overall, yeah,
1:01:29
there's there's Allline business coaches for sand on the beach. You know,
1:01:32
they're they're a bajillion right now. But guess what, cream rises to the
1:01:37
top, and the second that business gets hard, they go and they you
1:01:42
know, flow on to the next shiny object thing. Not everybody is meant
1:01:45
to stay in this space. So I agree with you. I hate I
1:01:47
said yesterday in my stories. Your mind is either destroying you or creating you.
1:01:51
Yes, And I cannot stand when somebody has an idea or a vision
1:01:57
that they actually genuinely want and they instantly with yeah, but somebody is already
1:02:01
doing it better or they're so it's oversaturated or whatever, and it's like,
1:02:06
oh my god, if you only knew how little that matters. Yep,
1:02:10
yep, it's so true. It's it's so true. And I before I
1:02:15
even started doing this, like, I saw the women, the other women
1:02:19
doing it right, and you just you have to fill your mind with all
1:02:22
of the like what can this be? What? What is possible? Like?
1:02:27
What are all of the amazing what ifs? What if I can quit
1:02:30
my job? What if Like when I first started, I was like,
1:02:32
when I started my boutique, I was like, if I can just pay
1:02:36
for our groceries, that would be awesome. Like that That was my first
1:02:40
like tangible like thing like if I could just do this, how awesome would
1:02:45
that be? Would that be worth it? Because another thing is like,
1:02:47
well what if what if I do this for? Like what if I do
1:02:52
all this work for three months and it like and I don't see you know,
1:02:55
like results right away? Well, is is it worth it? Would
1:03:00
it be worth it if it took a little longer, like if it took
1:03:04
nine months, a year, like two years, would it still be worth
1:03:07
it? Are the things that you want and the desires that you have like
1:03:12
big enough that you that it's worth it to go through that time? Then
1:03:15
stay where you are? Oh my god, I mean y'all. Imagine if
1:03:20
Brie quit last year when she was plateaued at five grand and somehow like you
1:03:25
quit and you went back to a job, and then some little magic fairy
1:03:30
came and said, Brie, if you had just stuck it out, baby,
1:03:32
in six months, you were about to catch on fire in six months
1:03:37
flat. In a year, you would be making you know, ten twenty
1:03:44
times what you were making per month. So I love that you said that.
1:03:49
You're absolutely like, yeah, okay, what if you don't hit that
1:03:52
goal in three months? But what if you hit it in six? What
1:03:54
if you hit in eight? What if you hit half of that? And
1:03:58
you're just happy do what you're doing versus miserable doing the other thing that is
1:04:02
making you a little bit more money currently, So quality of life. But
1:04:09
thank you for answering that, because I know I do this. We're like,
1:04:14
I'm a big dreamer. So I love so much how you just explain
1:04:20
that. Because when I visualize, and I've always saen this, I go
1:04:26
straight to the like private jet like Kim Kardashian and that's beautiful. But it's
1:04:32
like, hmm, my mind's like baby girl, you're wait. It's like
1:04:40
we barely just were able to upgrade a three hour flight to first class,
1:04:45
Like what are we? What are we doing here? You know? So
1:04:47
I love I think that that's actually brilliant because I used to think, well,
1:04:51
if I visualize too small, then that's where I'm gonna land. But
1:04:57
look at you, like you started with, what if I can just pay
1:05:00
for my groceries in a couple of months. What if I can book us
1:05:03
at the Grand Floridian for our whatever, the anniversary, whatever. Okay,
1:05:09
what if I can pay off my car in a couple months, Like starting
1:05:13
with those baby steps, because that feels more real and attainable. And what
1:05:16
we're looking for is your mind to get wrapped around the idea that it's possible,
1:05:23
and then the feeling and the energy behind that thought. Because if you
1:05:28
can feel what it feels like to pay your groceries and to not stress over
1:05:32
your groceries, if you can feel what it feels like to book the first
1:05:35
class ticket or to book the fancy hotel, or to hire the VA or
1:05:41
the coach, or to buy the program, and your mind's like no,
1:05:44
no, Like I think we can do this. Now you're able to actually
1:05:48
figure out, Okay, what actions do I need to take to make this
1:05:50
happen? Yeah, I don't know what actions I need to take right now
1:05:55
to become Kim Kardashian. You know I'm figuring it out, but but I
1:06:01
that's why I wanted to ask, because I just love so much how you
1:06:04
explain that. I think we again overcomplicate it and try it and rush a
1:06:11
little fast, like shoot, shoot for the freaking moon of course, like
1:06:15
have a bigger vision. And also what's something that actually feels attainable and feels
1:06:21
but also at the same time exciting to you? Yeah one, totally.
1:06:26
Yeah, because I feel like it trains your brain too to be like you
1:06:30
did that, Like you did that thing, you can do the next thing
1:06:33
now, Like it gives you that confidence. Yeah a men, Well,
1:06:40
this was an incredible conversation. I appreciate you so much for sharing the behind
1:06:46
the scenes, and I appreciate you so much for believing in yourself enough to
1:06:54
quit the job and to start the first business and to pivot to the second
1:06:59
business and not quit when things were hard. I really appreciate that because of
1:07:04
that, we're able to have this conversation today. We're able to work together,
1:07:10
I'm able to be inspired by you, and we're able to continue to
1:07:14
serve the people at even a higher level together as a collaboration. And I'm
1:07:18
just so grateful for that. So thank you for taking the time and sharing
1:07:23
your heart with us today. Yes, thank you absolutely. Oh my gosh.
1:07:26
I'm so grateful that you asked me to be on here, and I
1:07:30
love working with you and I'm so excited to do more with other women and
1:07:34
help them with their businesses. And yes, we're good. So if you
1:07:41
want what's going on, if you like the vibe and what Bree is created,
1:07:45
