I think it's funny. Did you guys see the name of my of this live? It says, What are you waiting for? You don't know what you don't know. But why wouldn't you want to know? It's like a riddle, right? I remember back when I first started my business, that I didn't know a lot of things, right. And so I did things the way that I thought you should do them. Raise your hand, if you've ever been there, right? You just do things the way that you think you should do them. And you don't know any better. Right? You that's just what you do. And I remember back in to summer of 2018, we had so many people that were just like, cold DMing us not building relationships, not my business. Bestie and I, we did a relationship challenge and we educated so many people that you just don't talk to people DMS and and cold message them but they didn't know, right? They didn't know. And so until you know, you don't know, right? Once you know, you change and you do better. And so it's kind of like people using 30 hashtags in their Facebook posts. They don't know if they don't know. And so it's people who know it's their job to educate. So anyhow, basically, there's a lot of things we don't know. And we're never going to know if we don't put ourselves out there to learn more, right? There's a lot of things that we get to grow and learn to do better. But we don't know until we, until we know, this is the way I feel about every single thing in my business. And that's when it comes to launching when it comes to selling when it comes to content creation. When it comes to visibility, and I will say flat out I am an expert 100% Hands down, I am an expert, borderline goat. I felt very forward to say visibility and content creation 100% 100% I feel so strong about that. However, that does not mean I am all knowing that does not mean that I can't learn more. That does not mean that there's nothing else for me to learn. There is always something for me to learn. I never ever, ever, ever, ever want to be the smartest person in the room. There's always something I can learn from somebody. Hands down. Right? So it's like I went through a period where I said, I can't close save my life, right? So could I close? Anybody? Nope. As long as I was telling myself that story that was true. I hated launching because I felt like a failure. And I hated sales because it felt like a failure. So I literally just resisted it for about six months in my business. Do you think I made many sales? No, I did it. I did it. And it's funny, because I've had a lot of sales training. And I know a lot. A lot of my really good friends are really great at sales. And so there was this part of me that knew a lot about sales. But there was also a part of me that didn't know, right? And I chalk this up to how many people love Asana. How many people love Trello. How many people love click up? I'm trying to think I don't know what else. But all these systems are basically the same thing, right? But you have a favorite because one works with your brain better than another. I cannot stand Trello. But I love Asana, I can't stand Voxer. But I love Telegram, right? They're the same tool. They look different. The user interface is different, they do different things. But for the most part, they're the same exact tool. And some work with my brain better than others. The same thing is you the same thing is learning the same thing is investing in yourself. I will never stop investing in content creation because I can always get better. If I build my business one piece of content at a time. Why would I not want to always uplevel right? If I build my business one piece at a time piece of content at a time, why would I not? Even if it's point 0000 1% better? Why would I not want to get better every single year quarter? I don't care. The same thing is true with the way I've taught content. Back in 2019 was when I first started teaching content and I guarantee you I've changed it 10 times since then 2018 as our content but I continuously grow and evolve so I change again. It's not like I'm reading meaning the will. But I'm evolving, which means my content evolves to my content just keeps getting better, which means my teaching methods and methodologies keep getting better. My frameworks keep getting better. And I get to keep evolving in that, too. So when I struggled with content, or not content, when I struggle with cells and lodging, I stumbled upon a mentor, who just it made sense in my brain, paid her a lot of money. But it finally made sense in my brain, and I was like, Oh, my God, I've been avoiding watching and selling for like six months, because I felt like I sucked at it. And I just didn't know I was doing I didn't do it the right way. I like to word vomit on people, when they say, Hey, can you tell me more about this? Yeah, let me just copy my sales page and send it to you. So I didn't know when to hold back, I didn't know what Leanback energy was, I didn't know what feminine and masculine energy meant. I didn't know any of that. And so therefore, I was a very eager salesperson who literally gave TMI information, who literally was like the first day, right where I can't be quiet. I'm the date that can't be quiet, because I want to just tell you about how wonderful my product is. And so I learned a lot, right? And then I was like, after I learned all this, I was like, Wait a minute. I'm watching every freaking month. I gotta catch up. I didn't launch for six months, because I was scared. I'm gonna lie to you every single month, I'm gonna learn something new every single month, what have I been waiting for? Why have they been holding out on myself? This is fun. But had I not taken a chance and paid $3,000 for a three week program, I would have never felt that way. I would have never known that there was another option. I would have never wanted to teach launching and selling either, right. So we get to know more. And sometimes, we don't even know or we don't know. Sometimes we hate things. Because we don't know, we don't know, sometimes we avoid things because we don't know what we don't know. I can guarantee you drop in the comments if you want. If there is something you absolutely hate doing in your business, there is a better way. You just don't know it yet. Nobody's told you yet. You just haven't identified that yet. There's always a way, there's always an easier way. There's always a way that works better with your brain. And when you discover this, when you discover this, let me just say it feels like the heavens open up. And you feel this light on your face. And you feel this renewed energy and you feel like you could jump up and down because oh my gosh, why have I hated this for so long? Why have I been in such resistance for this for so long? You don't know what you don't know, until you do. And the only way to cure that is to invest in yourself. The only way to cure that is to know where's my problem? Where am I not excelling? How can I change this? How can I uplevel this? How can I learn more? How can I implement more? There's always an answer. The question is, are you looking for a solution? Or are you settling and saying, I suck at this? I hate this. So I'm just gonna resist it and not do it? Or do you want to find the way that works with your brain? The way that makes you light up the way? That's right for you. There's never one way to do anything. There's always multiple ways. And no way is more right for somebody else. It's just what is right for you. What way works for you. And sometimes you have to do that, like you know, try a couple of different things before you figure out the way and then your the way may evolve because you grow so much. Because the beautiful thing about being a business owner is the beautiful thing about growth. It is the beautiful thing about investing in yourself. So what is that thing? that's driving you crazy. What is that thing that you feel like you just can't get a grasp on and you can't get good at? Because I'm willing to bet you can change and do a 180 in anything that you absolutely hate doing. Except laundry in your business. It's just we get to find what that is and how to change that trajectory of what you're telling yourself
