Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to The One Small Change. I am thrilled to embark on
- 0:03this journey of exploration and transformation with you. I'm your
- 0:07host, Yvonne McCoy, and I bring over 30 years of entrepreneurial
- 0:11experience, and I have a huge passion for
- 0:14discovering growth through the power of seemingly small change.
- 0:19And I want to thank you for joining me, and I try to
- 0:22bring people to you every week that are going to share a
- 0:26small, unexpected, or insignificant thing in their life that
- 0:30sparked both a remarkable transformation and growth in either
- 0:33their personal or professional life. And today I am
- 0:37so excited to bring to you Shawn
- 0:41Stewart. Shawn, thank you for being here and giving us time for this.
- 0:45So tell everybody what you do and why, you know,
- 0:49what has happened that makes you the best of anybody.
- 0:53Thank you so much, Yvonne. Great to be here with you. So, what I do
- 0:57is I help coaches, speakers, experts,
- 1:01service-based entrepreneurs to stand out as
- 1:05category leaders and create an offer that is
- 1:08innovative so that they can leverage their unique gifts
- 1:12and talents to become category leaders in their space.
- 1:16We do that through creating unique offers and then using stages
- 1:20because I believe that events and stages is one of the quickest, most effective
- 1:24ways for you to establish authority in your space.
- 1:28really 3 different levels of authority in the way that I work with
- 1:32clients. Yeah, yeah. Can I stop you just for a minute? Yeah, because
- 1:35we have a lot in common. I know. And so
- 1:39I want people to really listen to this. And one of the things
- 1:43that, that he has said that I think sometimes people are really
- 1:47hesitant about is speaking, I think, is one of the most
- 1:50powerful ways that you can get your message out there. And not only
- 1:54that, Speaking leverages your time and your effort. You
- 1:58know, you can speak to people one-on-one, which is a wonderful, you
- 2:01know, it's a nice way to do it. But why not speak to 20
- 2:05or 100 or 1,000, depending on what you're
- 2:09comfortable with? And, and the thing that I will say to people is
- 2:12you, you don't have to wait to speak on somebody else's stage, which is a
- 2:16wonderful thing to do, but you can also have your own stage.
- 2:21Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, so speaking is
- 2:25massive in terms of like what I help people with, right? Well, one of the
- 2:29things around speaking is helping people get a speaking gig every single month.
- 2:33And usually it's their own event like you were talking about. The
- 2:36idea that you would have an event with new prospects in front of
- 2:40you every single month, it changes the entire business because most people are
- 2:44pining for attention on social media and all these things where the algorithm is
- 2:48working against them. If we can gather a group of people that is
- 2:51your ideal client, and they sit there for 90 minutes and they get to experience
- 2:55you, you get to close the know, like, and trust gap so much
- 2:59quicker and so much more effectively because you're personally with them.
- 3:02So I have a system to help people do that. It's really effective. And to
- 3:05speak once or more a month. So that's kind of the external
- 3:09mechanism of my work, if you really look at it, is getting on more stages
- 3:13and giving yourself an opportunity to share a message that's compelling to the right
- 3:17person to wanna have a discovery call or work with you. But
- 3:21if we take a few steps before that, That's like the
- 3:24externalized authority piece. One step before that is
- 3:28your offer, your messaging, your branding,
- 3:33basically the piece of like authority where you're really
- 3:36representing the identity in the marketplace
- 3:40of who you really are at the core. I think one of the
- 3:44biggest problems is that most people are like people
- 3:48pleasing in their business. They're not really being their most
- 3:51unapologetic self. They're mostly trying
- 3:54to make sure that they, you know, make everybody happy. And they also are
- 3:58tending to come up with their offers based on what sells
- 4:02and what somebody else did versus who they really are.
- 4:06So let me, let me stop you right there, because one of the things that
- 4:10we did not cover is what happened
- 4:14that brought you to this so that you had this realization, so
- 4:17that you really get it and can help other people get
- 4:21it? Yeah, so I came into the industry in
- 4:252010, and I started studying people like Tony Robbins and
- 4:29Brendon Burchard and Lisa Sasevich. And I was
- 4:32committed to following a simple rule that Tony Robbins set out, which
- 4:36is success leaves clues— model your mentors. So
- 4:40I started modeling people, and I started studying, and I wanted to be like them.
- 4:44I was not really proud of my background. So
- 4:47I put on a buttoned-up shirt and jacket, and I started to step into being
- 4:51this business coach. And so that's what I thought being a business coach
- 4:55meant, is that you look the part, you were a business person. But my
- 4:59background was that of being a spoken word artist, a rapper, a
- 5:02performer. My dad's a screenwriter who wrote
- 5:06Academy-nominated films, uh, actually Academy
- 5:09Award-winning films. He was nominated for an Academy Award. And so
- 5:13I have this whole creative background. So when I came into the industry, I pushed
- 5:17that into the closet. I wanted to be again like Tony and like Brendan, these
- 5:20people, and I put on the buttoned-up outfit and I went out there and I
- 5:23tried to be like somebody I wasn't. And I started to create offers
- 5:27based on what was selling, and I found myself feeling trapped and feeling
- 5:31heaviness every time I showed up with clients because I wasn't
- 5:35being me. And, and what I want to say
- 5:38to people is, because I, I had a similar experience, not
- 5:42exactly that, But the thing that happens to us is
- 5:46we're conditioned to be a certain way. We're, you know,
- 5:50our parents tried to make us safe. And so they were like, you know,
- 5:54follow all the rules and, you know, the people, what authorities
- 5:58tell you, that kind of thing. Yeah. They don't say to you, break out,
- 6:02be a scandal, scandal, be a rascal,
- 6:06be whatever. And I had the exact opposite thing
- 6:09happen to me because I came up really in a business experience. I mean,
- 6:13I have my MBA from Wharton. I've been in big
- 6:16corporations, right? And I, you know,
- 6:20just like I said to you before we talked, I had one of my clients
- 6:23who had never been to my workshop came to my workshop and
- 6:27said to me afterwards, I don't know who that person was. That's not
- 6:30the person I love working with. And I had to really go,
- 6:34really? Because I thought I had it.
- 6:39You know, I had it timed out. I had, you know, all of the things.
- 6:42Right. Yes. Yeah,
- 6:46yeah. And I think that, that's what happens for a lot of people, and
- 6:50they end up pigeonholing themselves into a version that
- 6:54they think is acceptable, and they hide the
- 6:58parts of themselves that are who they really are. And I know you talk a
- 7:01lot about be and being who you are as a, as the first step in
- 7:05your system, and that's really essential to the
- 7:09breakthrough for me because what happened was I got— it got so heavy. Uh, I,
- 7:12I was making money, but I I was really feeling like
- 7:16I wanted to go back to working a day job. And I just kept
- 7:19pushing through because a day job wasn't acceptable. So I was trapped
- 7:23between not making enough money at a day job, which is,
- 7:27you know, but more freedom. Like, if I had a day job, I'd feel more
- 7:31free because I felt like I had to be this— like, I had to wear
- 7:34this mask and I had to put on this game. And so I
- 7:37ended up having this, like, really passionate dream that
- 7:41I was gonna host a 3-day event one day. I would go to these events,
- 7:44I would go to seminars, and I loved being a part of like seminars
- 7:48and like 3-day events specifically. And I always dreamed that
- 7:52I would host my own. So I put down the money to go to
- 7:56do an event, and I was— I set myself up
- 7:59with an event person and with the location, and I'm careening
- 8:03towards this event, but I'm having this internal
- 8:07conflict. I don't want to be the buttoned-up business coach. I don't want
- 8:10to be the guy that sounds like everybody else in the industry. I had been
- 8:13trained to be that. But there was a heaviness, as I said. As I
- 8:17got closer and closer to the event, I made a decision that was really
- 8:20uncomfortable but needed to happen, which is that I'm not going to do this event
- 8:24on the high-ticket selling kind of tried and true
- 8:28stuff that I've been learning from all these mentors. I was going to break out
- 8:31the box and innovate something. And so I decided I was going to
- 8:35bridge my love of music and freestyle rapping and performing, which I
- 8:38had this background of, and I was going to actually merge that with business coaching
- 8:42and create a unique event that nobody had done before, and I called it Rock
- 8:45Your Gift. It was super risky because everybody had
- 8:49told me, going— growing up in like the, like the entrepreneur space,
- 8:53telling me that you never want to create anything that's about you. You
- 8:57only want to create things that are about the customer. The customer is the
- 9:00king. And so who I was, which was this rapper and the spoken word
- 9:04artist, shouldn't have anything to do with what I'm doing in business. But my
- 9:07intuition told me otherwise. I was like, forget about modeling others.
- 9:11Let's innovate. Let's try something different. So I, I went and did that event, and
- 9:15it was a breakthrough. I generated like close to $200,000 in my
- 9:19first event, and I built up a mastermind. And I, I did it by
- 9:22trusting myself and integrating my art in my business. I'm freestyle
- 9:26rapping at the event. I'm, I'm performing, and I'm teaching, and we're doing
- 9:30personal growth. And people came up to me, there was like, they'd never seen anything
- 9:33like it. And I had people telling me that They— I give— I gave them
- 9:37permission to believe that they could bring their passion and their
- 9:41uniqueness into their business. They hadn't seen that before. And when I heard that feedback,
- 9:44I knew that I had done the right thing by listening to my inner guidance
- 9:47on that. And that's how it— I think the thing is,
- 9:53we all feel like we have this person that's inside us
- 9:58that will not be appreciated, or people will you
- 10:01know, I'm not good enough and that
- 10:05this other person is, you know, this— I don't know if it's
- 10:08self-doubt. Like I said, I think it's more conditioning,
- 10:12you know, that you're supposed to behave a certain way. So
- 10:16for me, you know, I tell stories a
- 10:19lot. And so for me, I
- 10:23had to— one of the things I had to do is I had to shift
- 10:26the stories from kind of generic business
- 10:30stories to the kinds of stories that let people
- 10:33see these are the weird things that
- 10:37happened to me. Like I said, you know, when I spoke yesterday,
- 10:42I talked about, you know,
- 10:46you're meant to do something and you want it so much and
- 10:49it's like you can almost touch it, but, you know, and
- 10:53your family says things like, you're so miserable, why don't you
- 10:57just stop? Right? Or in my case, because I'm older, it's
- 11:01kind of like, why don't you retire? And we— my husband—
- 11:05I told the story that my husband and I went to see Pat Metheny,
- 11:08and the man gave a 2-hour concert. He's
- 11:1272. He gave a 2-hour concert and 4 encores.
- 11:17And I said to my husband, would you— you know, do you think he should
- 11:21retire? And Oscar was like, no. No. And I
- 11:24then, why do you keep asking me to retire? I'm not ready to
- 11:28retire either. And so stories like that, I think,
- 11:32as opposed to saying, well, you know, and you know, in this
- 11:35situation when you're talking to, you know, whatever, you know,
- 11:39those are things that people can relate to. And that's who I am. And
- 11:43so many people have that struggle of their family doesn't
- 11:46understand why they're doing what they're doing,
- 11:50especially when you're in the building stage
- 11:53and you're just like, you know, you're quitting
- 11:57every day and you're like, why me? Kind of thing, you know? And I
- 12:01think that's something that
- 12:05attracts the other people. They go, they
- 12:08understand because they're going through what I went through, you
- 12:12know? Yeah. And it used to drive me crazy
- 12:16when— because I don't think you know this about me, But my audience does,
- 12:20that I used— that I, at one point, I wore— I weighed over 400 pounds
- 12:24and I lost almost 200 pounds, right? And it used to drive me
- 12:28crazy to go to an exercise class or try to do an
- 12:31exercise class with somebody that was this big and, and
- 12:35have them go, you can do it, you can do it. I'm like, I can't
- 12:38even see my toes. You don't
- 12:41understand anything about what I'm going through, right?
- 12:45So I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go off on a rant, but I think,
- 12:50I think the thing that is so important
- 12:53about that— first of all, be yourself. And when you can be yourself,
- 12:59you can help people in a way that other people can't.
- 13:03I mean, I can hear something from 3 different people,
- 13:07but I only understand it maybe from one because of either the
- 13:10examples or the stories or the method that they, that they
- 13:14use. Mm-hmm. So let me
- 13:18ask you this. What do you think is the
- 13:21hardest thing for people to step out of that? To,
- 13:25to, you know, what holds them back from
- 13:29stepping into their uniqueness or their— Gotcha.
- 13:33Well, I think that most people,
- 13:37they come into entrepreneurship and
- 13:40business being basically afraid of authority.
- 13:44Like, basically, like, somebody else is— you know, the whole,
- 13:48like, imposter syndrome issue that, like, 99% of
- 13:52people have. It's like somebody else has this expertise, but
- 13:56I don't, you know? Mm-hmm. And this whole, like, kind of,
- 13:59like, I'm not the authority and, like, doubting
- 14:03themselves. So as you grow into, like, learning from
- 14:07mentors and working with coaches and getting your business to
- 14:10grow or whatever the thing is you're doing, you start to gain confidence
- 14:14because you use somebody's system and it works, or you use their
- 14:18templates, or you learn how they did it and you start modeling. And modeling
- 14:21becomes like your way to get confidence. You start doing something that works and, you
- 14:25know, it's like riding a bike. Now I know how to do this thing. But
- 14:28a lot of times people don't come in where they realize that they already
- 14:32have a genius zone that was factory installed and that
- 14:35they actually have a lot more that they can bring to the
- 14:39table than they realize. And that the people that start to
- 14:43acknowledge that uniqueness, that genius zone, they're the
- 14:47ones that start to create offers and opportunities and accelerate
- 14:51faster, in my opinion. I think that the modeling process
- 14:55slows you down. It keeps you in this frame of I'm not good enough,
- 14:59and this other person in this outside system is the authority.
- 15:03It's basically like I'm not genius. Genius is
- 15:07external. And we end up being like
- 15:10beholden to some missing piece. And everything
- 15:14is about trying to solve a missing piece. And the thing that
- 15:18I'm here to help people with is to realize that you were never missing anything.
- 15:21Yes, there's skills. There's, you know, you have to get better at
- 15:25like sales as an example. Like you don't just come factory installed with selling.
- 15:30But the bottom line is that you have a gift
- 15:34and you have something unique to bring that if you start
- 15:37breathing life into that and seeing that and believing it, it's going to
- 15:41come alive for you in a way that you don't realize. Because the
- 15:45thing is, I always like this quote from Rumi, what you're looking for is looking
- 15:48for you. I love that idea. The whole thing behind it though is
- 15:52that it will not look for you if you don't look for it.
- 15:56It doesn't look for you without you putting effort towards it. It's
- 16:00looking for you to look for it. So I was—
- 16:042 things. One of the things I was going to say is Buckminster Fuller says
- 16:07we are all born geniuses and then it's educated out of it, which I
- 16:11believe wholeheartedly. But the other thing is, if you don't show
- 16:14people— there are people out there that already need what you have,
- 16:19but if you don't show them you have it then they can't recognize
- 16:23you, right? Totally. And exactly. And I
- 16:26think that the thing that, that I learned, which was probably the
- 16:30best thing I ever learned, was there is always going to be
- 16:33somebody who is ahead of you. There's always going to be some—
- 16:37somebody— like when I went, you know, one of the first speaker trainings I went
- 16:41with, you know, he said there is a category of,
- 16:45you know, the ultra elite And you may never get there.
- 16:49And it's something like, you know, you're one of 4 living presidents,
- 16:53right? So, it's crazy for you to, you know,
- 16:57because that is such a small slice. Right. And there are
- 17:01going to be people ahead of you, but there are also people that you're ahead
- 17:04of. And so, you may not be, you know,
- 17:08an expert as an astronaut, right?
- 17:12But you can definitely be an expert about certain things, you know? And
- 17:16when I was losing weight, I was like, well, you know, I'm not at my
- 17:19ideal weight, so I can't do any, any weight loss coaching. And
- 17:23he said, don't you think that there's people out there that would love to know
- 17:26how to lose 100 pounds and keep it off?
- 17:30And I was like, oh, really? You
- 17:34know, and I was very good at that, you know.
- 17:38Yeah. Still not at my ideal weight. What can I tell you? This apparently—
- 17:42this is my ideal weight. You look great. You know.
- 17:46But anyway, so, so I think the other thing
- 17:51that I think is really important is
- 17:55that nobody— to me, people don't factor it in enough. And that is
- 17:59that you're moving, you know, you're shooting at a moving target.
- 18:02What is true today is not necessarily
- 18:07going to stay true in a year from now
- 18:11or whatever. So, you know, for me, one of the things that has happened is
- 18:15I have been very you know, resistant to
- 18:18doing something that isn't one-on-one.
- 18:22And what I realized was, I can do a
- 18:25hybrid that has a heavy one-on-one
- 18:29component to it, but still has a group process to it.
- 18:32Yeah. And so I have a new offer that's coming out. But if— Nice. You
- 18:36know, 2 years ago, I would never have done it. Right?
- 18:40But you have to be in tune not only to what your gifts are, or
- 18:43what You know, and you have to, you have to, you have to be
- 18:47true to yourself. And so when I— it took me a long time to put
- 18:50the program together because I did not want a
- 18:54program that the group part of
- 18:58it was, all right, this week we're doing chapter 1. Well, what if I
- 19:01don't need chapter 1? You know, tomorrow, next week we're doing
- 19:05chapter 2. Well, I'm past chapter 2 too also. I mean, even though
- 19:09you curate the group, or you have a cohort or something like that,
- 19:13there are always going to be pieces that you need more of and pieces that
- 19:17you need less of. And so that's what I put in the program, so people
- 19:20can move at their own speed, you know. But I had to,
- 19:24I had to, I had to, I had to come up with a program that
- 19:27felt authentic to me. Mm-hmm. You know,
- 19:31I couldn't say to you one day, I only do one-on-one, next day, well, guess
- 19:34what, come to my group program. I mean, that seems like
- 19:38You know, okay. Yeah. Um,
- 19:42let's do this. Let's make sure we talk about your gift and the 3, at
- 19:46least 3 actions, or 1 or 2 actions that people can take
- 19:49right away that, that, that's going to help them, um,
- 19:55be recognized. Yeah, so the
- 19:58first thing is actually identifying what we call your
- 20:02X factor. Your X factor is a statement
- 20:06that encapsulates basically your purpose. It's not the
- 20:10easiest thing to actually boil down what you do
- 20:14into, like, what you do that's different into like a statement. Most
- 20:18people can't even figure out how to find it, let alone like
- 20:21communicate it succinctly. But this process that
- 20:25I take my clients through makes it possible for you to find that and
- 20:28put it into a statement and refine it and work on it. But this
- 20:32statement gives you the power to finally see see who you are
- 20:36and what makes you different and how you can bring value to the world
- 20:40that is who you are. Um, I, uh,
- 20:44I think that's the thing we've been kind of talking about this whole
- 20:48time, is that there is a
- 20:51unique value that you're here to bring. And that
- 20:55while you can do other people's things— like, I've done it a lot—
- 20:59you study somebody and then you bring that into your system. For instance, sales. I,
- 21:02I'm really good at sales. I teach sales, but my original thing was
- 21:06some template or some script that I got from somebody else. So
- 21:10sales is something that I've learned and I've applied my own
- 21:13stuff to, but I basically pulled it from something. I think that we
- 21:17have the ability to innovate a unique thing that we're here to
- 21:21bring, and that is highly valuable in the
- 21:24marketplace. But you first have to identify what is it that makes you unique.
- 21:29That's number one, is identifying your X factor. It is a statement,
- 21:32and the statement has 2 parts to it. It's what I do plus why
- 21:36I do it. I'll give you mine,
- 21:40and I have a gift for those listening to actually
- 21:44go through a process that's leveraging AI to actually ask you
- 21:47questions and help you come up with this. Basically, what it
- 21:51is is— what I do is I
- 21:55inspire people through dynamic expression.
- 21:59So that's the first part of it. So if you were to boil
- 22:02down Shawn in like a very concise way,
- 22:06like, I express myself dynamically. That's
- 22:09who I am. That's why I'm a rapper. That's why I'm a spoken word artist.
- 22:12That's why I'm a speaker. That's why I'm a coach, because communication and
- 22:16expression is at the source of who I am. And I do that
- 22:20to inspire people. Like, I, I am here to inspire
- 22:24through dynamic expression. And why I do that, which is the
- 22:28second part of the sentence, is to help people
- 22:31self-actualize or achieve their
- 22:35purpose in this lifetime, is another way to say it. So I
- 22:39inspire people through dynamic expression so that they
- 22:41self-actualize or they create their most
- 22:44self-actualized life or they create their purpose in their lifetime.
- 22:48And so that's what I do. And so I've been able to encapsulate that. So
- 22:52when I look at everything that I teach and everything that I help
- 22:54people with. Yes, I help you with getting on stages. Yes, I help you with
- 22:58selling and getting more clients, all these external things. But at the end of the
- 23:01day, it's about expression, it's about
- 23:05inspiration, and it's about self-actualization. And so all my offers and
- 23:09all the things I do come from that. So the first thing, going back to
- 23:12your question, is what is your X factor? What's it— what is it that you
- 23:15do differently? What is that uniqueness? And then from there,
- 23:19I recommend people create an offer If you have an offer, great.
- 23:23But the question is, filter your offer through that X factor. Does
- 23:27your offer align with your X factor? If not, maybe
- 23:31think about either a new offer or a way to upgrade it. Because here's the
- 23:35whole thing behind everything we're talking about. It's about energy.
- 23:39It's about alignment. It's about something intangible. You know,
- 23:43the whole industry, uh, coaching, entrepreneurship,
- 23:47business is built on tangibles,
- 23:50results, measurables, reverse engineering,
- 23:54things that you can actually, you know, put down and say happened.
- 23:58But the whole heartbeat of success is an intangible.
- 24:02It's something that you can't see and you have to actually feel.
- 24:06It's an energy. So what happens is, is people's offers are like
- 24:09dead weight. They make sense on paper, but there's no energy behind it
- 24:13for you. So once you know your X factor and then you infuse your
- 24:17offer with it and you actually run it by a filter of like, does this
- 24:20offer light me up? Is it allowing me to express what I'm here to do?
- 24:24And you get a yes to that and you build that offer, you're going to
- 24:26have an offer that's going to light you up and it's going to naturally be
- 24:29more successful in the marketplace. Because even though people buy external
- 24:33results, what people really buy is energy.
- 24:36Your energy and the alignment with which you share it with has way
- 24:40more attraction and enrollment power than just the words you say.
- 24:45And so that's number— number 1 is your X factor, number 2 is your offer,
- 24:48and then number 3 is set a date. Set a date for an event.
- 24:52Too many people are sitting around going, I don't know how to get clients. I'm
- 24:55like, why don't you set a date and share something with people?
- 24:59I know there's social media, I know there's ads, and there's a bazillion ways that
- 25:03you could try to market yourself. My opinion is get a group of people in
- 25:06front of you, whether virtually or in person, share some of your
- 25:10gifts with them, and then make an invitation.
- 25:12It's It's the most easy, direct way to grow your business. So
- 25:16start with your X factor, make sure you're aligned. Number 2, and we have a
- 25:19gift for you on that. Number 2 is define your offer based on that X
- 25:23factor or run that X factor through your current offers and ask yourself whether or
- 25:26not it's aligned with your gifts. And then number 3 is set a date and
- 25:30create some kind of event or some kind of presentation that you can share
- 25:34so that you can actually put that offer in front of leads. I'm
- 25:37just going to say one other thing on you because we're running out of time.
- 25:40This has been great. Um, one other thing is once you know your X factor,
- 25:44if you are an AI kind of person and you put your offer in
- 25:48there, say, I want this offer to reflect
- 25:52my X factor, or does my offer reflect my X factor? I do
- 25:56that all the time. And I've got an AI thing that I
- 26:00give people before my events as a teaser. Like, yeah, I'm
- 26:03gonna be talking about your special gifts. You know, you may
- 26:07find out what they are before you get there, and then you'll see how to
- 26:09use them. All right. Fun question.
- 26:14When was the last time you did something new for the first time?
- 26:21Um, well, recently I did. I went and— I
- 26:25actually live right next to Legoland, but funny enough, I'd never
- 26:29gone, uh, like randomly, and I'd never gone
- 26:33without like the family and like with my, with my wife. Um, I did go
- 26:36with my son. I have 2 sons, and so randomly
- 26:402 Sundays ago, I decided to grab a ticket for my son and I,
- 26:45and we took an Uber 10 minutes away to Legoland, and,
- 26:48uh, we spent the day there together, and it was just a blast. I'd never
- 26:52done that before. Sounds good to me. All right, I hate to cut this
- 26:55short, but we gotta. So everybody,
- 26:59first of all, make sure you get the gift. It's the, the notes, you know,
- 27:03it's going to be in the notes. Um, but the first step is subscribe, and
- 27:06I want you to share this with somebody, engage with you know, with the podcast,
- 27:10on social media. Let me know your thoughts. This has been fantastic.
- 27:14The reason I do this is I wanted to
- 27:17have a way to help you to supercharge your business through
- 27:21connection. It's my way of trying to introduce you to a vibrant
- 27:24community and fuel your, your quest for growth.
- 27:28So I hope you will continue to join me with The One Small Change and
- 27:33listen to other episodes because everyone has a valuable gift in it.
- 27:37That can only help you grow your business. So Sean, what are
- 27:41your last words? You know, things that you— Just
- 27:45follow your inspiration and don't let people
- 27:49dampen your light. Love it.
- 27:53Everybody remember that change is simple, but it's not always easy.
- 27:57It requires courage, resilience, and a willingness to step out of your
- 28:01comfort zone. If you are comfortable with what you're doing
- 28:04every day, you are stagnating and the world is moving ahead and you are not.
