Public health consulting doesn't require a cold pitch pipeline — and Paris is proof. In this episode, Dr. Des sits down with Paris Mebane, founder and CEO of Global Grassroots Solutions (a rural health consulting firm specializing in community health assessment, strategic planning, and organizational capacity building) and founder of The PM Approach, a membership community helping public health professionals pass the PMP exam. Paris breaks down how she landed two simultaneous $20K contracts through existing relationships within months of completing Subcontracting to Six Figures — while working full-time — and how niching down from 40 services to 3 changed everything.

In This Episode, You'll Learn

• How Paris landed two $20K contracts simultaneously through relationship-based consulting — no RFP required
• Why going from 40 services to 3 was the single most important move she made early in her consulting business
• How Paris used time blocking and the CEO Circle accountability structure to balance full-time work with consulting
• The "fail fast" mindset shift that broke her analysis paralysis and got her moving
• How a PHC study group idea turned into a 126-member exam prep community and a full second business
• Why your first consulting contract is probably already inside your existing network — you're just not talking about yourself
• The difference between S26F (build the foundation) and CEO Circle (scale and sustain it)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can public health professionals land consulting contracts without ever submitting an RFP?

Yes — and it's more common than people expect. Paris Mebane landed her first two contracts ($20K each, simultaneously) entirely through existing professional relationships. Dr. Des herself stopped submitting RFPs years ago and still fills her client roster through word-of-mouth and networking. Your first contract is very likely already inside your existing network.

How do you balance a full-time job with a consulting practice in public health?

Time blocking and accountability structures are the two levers Paris credits most. She uses time blocking to protect her consulting hours and CEO Circle accountability sessions to stay consistent on execution. The accountability call dynamic is simple: you don't want to show up with nothing done.

What is Subcontracting to Six Figures and what does it actually teach?

Subcontracting to Six Figures is Dr. Des's flagship consulting course for public health professionals. The first module walks students through identifying and niching down their services — Paris went from 40 potential services to 3. The course then covers business structure, website and brand assets, RFP writing, marketing, and business development strategy, all built sequentially so students don't skip ahead before the foundation is set.

What is the difference between Subcontracting to Six Figures and CEO Circle?

S26F builds the foundation — business structure, niche, services, and first contracts. CEO Circle is for consultants who are already in motion and need to sustain and scale. Paris is now in both. CEO Circle includes a book club, accountability sessions, and a community of peers navigating the same stage of business growth.

How do you find your niche as a public health consultant?

Start with two questions: what do I like doing, and what do people naturally come to me for? Paris realized she loved the assessment work — facilitating community conversations, finding the story in data, building the bridge between numbers and community voice. That insight narrowed 40 potential services down to 3: community health assessment, strategic planning, and organizational capacity building.

What is The PM Approach and who is it for?

The PM Approach is Paris Mebane's membership community for public health professionals preparing for the PMP exam. It includes bi-weekly live sessions covering study planning and exam strategy, an endurance drill program to build stamina for the 4-hour exam, a 5-day PMP application course, and ongoing accountability support. Membership is $75/month or $197/quarter.

Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Welcome, welcome, welcome back to the Dr. Dead show. Today we have an amazing, amazing special guest. I am super excited to chat with her. We have Paris, who is the founder and CEO of Global Glass Grassroots Solutions. I was tugged out a little bit. Global Grassroots Solutions. So it's a rural health consulting firm specializing in community health assessment, strategic planning, and organizational capacity building for community-based organizations navigating transitions. So she also is the founder of the PM Approach. So she's helping professionals expand beyond traditional exam prep, and she's building the Study Lab, which is a community-centered learning platform centered around learning PMP strategies and getting people to successfully pass and approach the PMP exam, which can be it can be stressful for a whole lot of people. So Paris, honestly, like the work that you are doing, guiding public health professionals to take the PMP, to do all of these things. Like it's been amazing just watching you grow over the past like couple years that we've known each other. And Paris was actually one of my first subcontract and a six-figure students that I've had. So I'm super excited to just dive into how you got started, where you're going next, and all the things. So welcome to the Dr. Dez show, Paris.

SPEAKER_01 1:19

Thank you. Thank you. I'm so glad to be here. Um, so I actually got started with consulting. Um, I had a friend who was involved with some national organizations, and she actually reached out to me um to say that she thought that I was a good fit for some of like some of the opportunities that they had at the time. Um, so I started there and then I really enjoyed it. And I I also liked that I was receiving some additional funds. So I was like, I want to know more about how to like go into this full time because in my current role, um, in my full-time role, I have a lot of flexibility and autonomy, and I I can't see myself losing that. And I see consulting as a way to be able to do that. So um I was scrolling on Instagram as most millennials do. And and I started seeing a lot of your um your content come up on my Instagram. Um, so I joined the club, and um, once I got into the club, a lot of the workshops that you were um doing, it was extremely helpful. Um so when the subcontract into six-figure course came about, I was like, okay, I have to get into this. And I took the course. Um I am also, I am, I have been a recurring student because you do receive lifetime access. And every time that I take the course, I uh I learned something new. Um from this course, from your course, I was able to learn um a lot about how to like actually structure my business. Um I developed, I learned how to like develop a website, um, get all of the things that I needed to um build a strong foundation for my business and also how to market my business. So if you are trying to get into consulting, I highly recommend it. Um, and if you've been in the course before, I I recommend that you get in because every time that um this course comes out, it's uh it's always something new and um it just gets better and you learn more each time.

SPEAKER_00 3:25

I love that. Thank you so much. I did not pay parents to say any of this stuff. But thank you so much. That means so much to hear you say that. And I think for me, like I love like scrolling on LinkedIn. I think I was scrolling on LinkedIn this morning. I seen something you um posted about the PM approach. So I was like, oh, this is awesome! Like you're being so consistent, and I really love just how consistent you you're being in like your marketing and you're exploring new things now. So let's even take it back to like so once you completed the course, what did like landing that first contract after you completed the course look like for you?

SPEAKER_01 4:02

Um, so my first contract um that I received after taking the course was actually through relationships. Um, I just recently got my first opportunity that was posted in the consultant opportunities. So I'm excited about that. Um, but my my my the majority of my um my relate my contracts have come from like relationships that I've had. Um and just sharing the word and getting out like information that I'm actually doing this as a service now. A lot of people tend to come to me for things and being able to package um the things that I do really, really well um to help people has been extremely um it's been it's been it's been fun.

SPEAKER_00 4:43

I love that. And I think that that's such a common um thread because you know, and I probably said it a couple times um on previous episodes, but like now I'm I've been in a space for a while where I don't apply to RFPs anymore. Um, mainly in most of my contracts, they come from relationships, they come from networking, getting out there, talking about what I'm doing, um, and being able to have like a solid structure, like you were saying, how the course gave you like that structure of like your website, like identifying your services that you're offering, all of those things, like that's gonna be the key to a lot of people landing their first or their next contract. Because when I got my first, my first contract was through an RFPR, it was an RFQ, a request for quotes, and then my second one was because that company referred me to another organization because they love my work that I was doing. So I landed that contract. The next one was actually through an RFP, um, and then the one after that was through like my relationships um and different things like that. So it's just been like a mixture for me as I started in consulting, and now I'm like, okay, my time is getting a lot limited, and I'm only taking on a certain select amount of clients, so I'm only doing it through word of mouth, through me partnering and talking with people. So for me, I'm like, that is that's been the game changer. And a lot of other people I've seen that too. Like it's it's just a mixture. And I think I think some people too have like these mixed strategies, like you. Like, you know, I'm applying for RFPs, but I'm also leveraging my network, and I love that. So for your first like contract that you got through like relationships and everything, about how much was that contract?

SPEAKER_01 6:15

So I actually got two at the same time. Both were for 20,000. Um, I was like, yes, we love this. We want more of this.

SPEAKER_00 6:23

Both were 20,000 each, yes, yes, man. Love that. And both both of those are through like relationships at the same time.

SPEAKER_01 6:31

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 6:32

Girl, yes, man. Go, girl. And then for your next one, the one that you just won from the from finding it inside the public health club. What was that one?

SPEAKER_01 6:41

So that one is actually like some um some community canvassing and um focus groups. And that one is a lot less than 20,000. However, it is an opportunity. Listen, money is money. Money is money.

SPEAKER_00 6:57

Money is money. So I I love this so much. What were the other two contracts for the first two for your services?

SPEAKER_01 7:04

Um, so those were around developing needs assessments and doing a lot of needs assessments work um and actually developing um like an assessment for like different food banks.

SPEAKER_00 7:16

I love that. I love that so much. And can you just tell us about because I know like you are you still working full-time?

SPEAKER_01 7:23

Yes, I am.

SPEAKER_00 7:24

Yeah, so how are you balancing kind of that and like the contracts?

SPEAKER_01 7:29

So I'm also gonna plug another um thing that comes into the public health club. Um, the CEO circle has been extremely helpful in um helping me to organize um both my full-time work and um the things that I do part-time. Um we've been reading a lot of like good books in the CEO circle, and um, I think I know now we're reading Buy Back Your Time. Um, we talked, we read um Margan Devine's book. Um, and I've just been trying to like figure out what's important to me. Um I'm also um doing a lot of like so okay, so I am like time blocking. So time blocking is extremely helpful um with managing both and like making sure that I stick to what I say that I'm gonna do. Yeah and um and creating strong boundaries as well on those things that aren't gonna help me get to like those core pillar things that we learned about from Morgan.

SPEAKER_00 8:34

Oh my god, I love this so much because like I feel like Paris, like you're one of those people, like you take the stuff and you implement it and like you're seeing the results, and I love that because that's like the same way I am. Like, I'm like, okay, I'm learning all this stuff. Like, all right, all right, let me let me implement, let me see if this works and see what happens. And I love that too, because like from the books we're reading, like I feel like honestly, that book club, this is the most I've ever read, like books in my life, because I'm like, I got to because I'm leaving the book club. But I'm like, it's so helpful to just understand from people who have like these, you know, multi-million dollar successful businesses and just understanding how they structure their time, how they structure their day, the things that they have learned through business. Um, because and you know, the saying is so true. Like, if you want to have something for somebody, you put it in a book, right? Like, and if you're not reading, like you're not getting these strategies. And then also like it's something about getting in the room with people too who are talking about business, who are talking about these things. So, like one of my favorite parts of even like the CEO circle is the accountability um sessions that we have because like just talking with other entrepreneurs about the struggles that are going on, about the wins, about everything like that, and getting advice, like that's like gold right there. Like you're getting advice from other entrepreneurs um and just helping you in your journey. So I love that, and that's the the major thing. Like, after subcontracting the six figures, like we built the business now. CEO Circle is there to help you like kind of maintain that and like trying to figure out like how do I actually like I got this business, how I keep it running, you know? So that's really the the core of like the CEO circle is having that, and I love that so much. So from you, like you know, after the course, like and how long from since you comp when you completed the course, did you land like those two contracts?

SPEAKER_01 10:22

Um there were probably like a couple months um between me completing the course and me actually receiving an opportunity. And I think that it's because, like you said, I I actually use the information that I'm learning and I like try to implement it. And another thing that I have learned from you and the public health club is to like fail fast. Like before I was like paralyzed by fear, and now I'm just I'm I'm willing to try. If it don't work, it just don't work. I'm not gonna take it personal anymore. So yeah. And then I know that I have support when I come to the accountability, um, the accountability meetings. Um, and also it has been extremely helpful with execution as well, because you don't want to show it to an accountability calling that has anything done.

SPEAKER_00 11:11

Oh my god, I love that so much. And yeah, like I always say that fail fast because like when I tell y'all, I tell y'all all the time, like I hear rejections all the time. Like I get so many no's, but it doesn't stop me from going after opportunities, right? Um, because you only need like a lot of times you only need that one yes, and then that one yes can lead to something of like something else and something else, and you just never know. But I think that you were so right. Like, I feel like in public health, or just honestly in general, um, people get scared, right? They get this like analysis paralysis, like, oh my God, like everything has to be perfect, like everything gotta be perfect. I gotta, you know, have this together, I gotta have my website, I gotta have all of my branding, I gotta have this, this, and this together. Um, and I feel like, you know, it's just you don't have to have all of that. Like when I started my consulting business, like I didn't have a website. I still don't have a website for my consulting business. Like, I built one like when we had our AI intensive, like I literally built one, showed y'all how I built one in like um in like 10 minutes. But like, and did you attend that session? Because I know you have access to it.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

I need to go back and um I need to go back and look at it. Looked at a couple of them, like the ones that really feel like okay, I need this now. Yeah, I've skipped around, but I need to go back.

SPEAKER_00 12:26

I'll say go into day two, the second one, where we talked about like branding and um like building like website and assets and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 12:35

So, like all those like amazing graphics that you're doing, I taught y'all how to do that in like 10 minutes in like and so that has been extremely helpful as well because making marketing material was taking a huge chunk of my time. Yes, ma'am, it does. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:52

And I feel like for me now, like um a lot of the stuff. So you've seen, I don't know if you've seen inside the community where I've been like sharing like wins of like our past subcontract and the six figures um students. So, like those designs, I made it in Clyde. Like, literally, I gave the information to Clyde, like because it has all of my brand stuff, and like here you go. And I know for those um who do sign up, like within a certain time, I can't think of the date that it ends, but I don't know what time people are gonna be listening to this. But like um the AI intensive is included as like a bonus into joining subcontract in the six figures now for people. So, like if they join by a certain day, I think I think it's the 20th, I'm not sure. I can't remember, but if they join by that day, then they get the AI intensive, and that's literally like how you move fast now in the world of AI. And like, I'm just like at this point, I'm so like I know so much about AI, but it's just like so going so fast. It's so many new things. Like at the time of this, like somebody asked me yesterday, like, oh, have you seen like the new fable thing that's in Claude? And I'll say, you know what? I can't handle another update. I just like I can't handle it right now. Like, oh man, but it's it's so good, it's so good. So oh, so I did want to dive into a little bit um about you know, when you say you won those contracts through relationships, like what did that relationship building look like? Was it, you know, you you already knew them or did you like just meet them? How was that?

SPEAKER_01 14:23

So um one of those relationships I already knew, um, and I had been developing that relationship for years. And then um from that individual, um, they found out that another organization was looking for the same thing. So they were like, hey, we are using her. We meant that you should use her as well. So um just I think the work that I've been able to do over the span of my career has been extremely helpful in like building my reputation and um getting connected in um based off of the existing relationships that I have. Like people are willing to vouch for me, and I feel like that says a lot.

SPEAKER_00 15:00

It does, it does. It says a lot about you know, just the quality that you provide, the expertise that you provide. Like, that's amazing when like you know, people are able to vouch for you, they're able to recommend you and put your names in rooms that you were never even in for real. And I think that it reminded me as you were talking about um two of my contracts, like that, probably maybe my fifth and sixth contract came from previous employers that I've had. And it was because like they knew what I did, like I kept talking, like you know, um, and I think um one actually came from like my first boss ever that I ever had in public health. So when I had my first like big girl public health job in when was that like 2015, I don't know, 2014, 15, 2015. Um, she was my boss. I loved her to death. And she ended up starting her own like consulting business and she needed a subcontractor to do some project management for her. So I said, hey, okay, I can do that for you. So that was literally like I would say literally I spent maybe like three, maybe three hours a week, depending on the week, doing some project management work from her, maybe five if it was like a heavy week for them. Um, and I was getting two grand a month um to do like just some project management for them, right? And do their final report and all that stuff, like literally two grand a month. Um, for probably about a year, um, I was doing that for her, like just on the side. And I was still like working full time while I was doing that. And then my other like contract through that I had through a previous employer, it came when I was actually, I actually put in my two weeks notice for the job. I was like, I love y'all, I gotta go though. Like, and I think I was like going moving into like the full-time entrepreneurship type type space, and um they were like, Oh man, well, can you stay on for this? I said, I can't do it part-time, but my business, listen, I can do some little project management work for you if this is what we want, right? We can negotiate a little rate, and we did that. We negotiated a nice little rate, and I stayed on um for like maybe about five or six months. I stayed on with them um to help them like you know, close out some other projects and do some stuff, but I did not work in a full-time capacity for them anymore. And it was it was contracted work, and I was like, oh, this is this is good. And I know for sure, like if I were to reach out to them and ask if they needed support, they would probably tell me yeah, but I'm like, I can't take no more class, I can't got too much going on right now. But like, um, but that's the the big thing, and I love that you brought up relationships because a lot of times our first contract is already in our network, and we're just not talking about ourselves, we're not putting ourselves out there in rooms to let people know what we do. And a lot of times, too, I feel like a lot of people have a hard time figuring out what their like consulting like niche is. How did you kind of figure out what your what your specialty area was? Because you mentioned like needs assessments, like now you're doing like the canvassing focus groups. Like, tell us like how did you figure out that was the services you wanted to provide?

SPEAKER_01 18:02

Um, so I just really like the assessment part of it. I I'm good at a lot of things. Like, I didn't feel like being in public health, you naturally get good at a lot of things. However, um, a lot of those things aren't my favorite things to do. I love um having like conversations and facilitating learning from like the community and um different organizations. Um, I love um looking at the data and using those stories to figure out the why behind it and helping an organization to be able to like come up with a goal and come up with some strategies to like like to impact the people based off of what they're saying and what their data is saying. Like I love being the bridge between the numbers and the community voice. Um, and doing a lot of the needs assessment and strategic planning work um allows me to be able to do that um on a on a wider scale and actually like zone in and be able to like get really, really good at things. So I feel like with my background in public health, I um you you end up being a generalist. And when all of my friends that were working in the private sector, when they were like having these specialties and everything, I felt like I was behind. But now being able to niche down and be like, okay, this is what I'm like the best at has been extremely helpful as well.

SPEAKER_00 19:24

I love that so much. And I love literally um the main things you said, like things that you know we we do in the course. Like the first um module in the course is literally like identifying your services that you're going to offer. Because I feel like a lot of people, and I know um since it was this past week, I did like this public health consulting week. Um, and one of the videos talked about your niche. And I was like, health equity is not a niche, like that's not a niche area. Like that's not a a service that you can provide to somebody. Like, what are you doing, health equity? Like that's we gotta we gotta get deeper than that. And I feel like, you know, you saying like yes, like public health professionals, we are good at so many things because we get thrown into things, right? Like my first public health job, and I was telling, I was telling somebody, I was just like, you know, I I think I just like blocked out of my memory all the stuff they had me doing at that job. Because when I tell you for $36,000 a year, they was working. They've been getting their money's work. They got, they got, I don't even, yeah. I was a certified contract manager, like they made me get a whole certification. So I'm managing all of these contracts because I'm a certain, I'm talking with legal departments, but I'm the program manager. I'm just supposed to be managing the program. I'm also evaluating the programs. I done learned, like, I done took GIS training. I'm teaching GIS classes in the in um at the Department of Health. Like, literally, I'm doing all of these, all of these different things. And I'm like, you know, this was good for me, like building a foundation to not where I am now, but I'm again. But I say that to say, like, you know, we do so many things in public health, but all of those things probably aren't our favorite things to do, right? So, like, how do like I feel like if you're trying to figure out what services you should offer, really think about what you like to do and what you're really good at. Because those are the two things that you can start really building a good business with. And once you get that foundation, then you can like branch out. Like, once you say, okay, I identify, I'm gonna do qualitative whatever, you know, I'm gonna do focus groups, I'm gonna um, you know, maybe do like some, I don't know, just just all of that stuff, right? You identify those services, and then it's like you can scale up from there. But I think a lot of people feel like, oh, I'm gonna pigeonhole myself, I'm gonna like not get as much money as I could if I'm just saying I'm I only do this, but you get so burnt out if you try to do everything before you even build that foundation. So I think that that's that that was that was really great advice that you gave. And I do want to talk about you too. So again, so like you built the foundation now, and now you've kind of branched out with the PM approach. So can Tell us about that.

SPEAKER_01 22:01

Okay, so um the PM the PM approaches um my exam prep community and support the services that I provide professionals. Um I actually got my start in providing um support to PMP professionals through the public health club. So I was able to I came to um Dr. Dez with an idea because I had received so much from the public health club that I just wanted to like pour back into it. And I was like, okay, a lot of people come to me for support for help when they're preparing for this exam. So Dr. Dez, can I do a study group in the club? And she was like, yes. And she allowed me to be able to do that. And from that, um, it just took off. Like I got other opportunities from other like organizations. Um, I've been able to build a um membership community. And I I looked today and there's like 126 people in there. So um it's been it's just been good, it's just been fun. And I've been able to use a lot of the things that I needed when I was studying for the exam. Um like I was extremely busy. So I like to try to make strategies and tools that are very, very simple for a busy person to use and be able to still be successful with this exam. And just this week, I've had like four people who have um been participating either in like a study group that I've been doing or in my actual community that said that they passed the exam, and most of them pass with um above target. So that just lets me know that the things that I've been building and doing, it's um it's really working.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

I love that. And you are just like walking in your purpose. Like I can tell, like it's exciting, it brings you joy to do those things. And I feel like that's how I feel with like the public health club. Every time somebody tells me like they want a contract or they got a new job or they got this opportunity, like it just made like I literally be about to cry because I'm just like, I literally like stepped out on faith, built this thing, just felt my way around the dark and built this thing, and it has now impacted lives. Like, you literally are changing people's trajectory of what they're doing, right? In their life, like because now they're getting the PMP and they're trying to like just navigate that, and it's just opening up opening up a whole new avenue for them. So I really love that. And tell us a little bit more about your membership community. So, like, you got 126 members, like that is that is big. That is huge. So tell us like what was the idea for how you started that? Like, what's in it? Like, how can people join it? Like, tell us more.

SPEAKER_01 24:37

Okay, so it started when I originally started, I was only gonna be doing four-week accelerators, but there was so information that I was like pouring out on people that um I got feedback that it felt overwhelming. So I went back here and I refined I took the things that um worked well and um just expanded that into like a membership community where you can receive the information that you need based off of where you are. So um I so in my membership community, um, there's there's um you can join monthly now as well as quarterly. Um so it's 197 a quarter and it's 75 a month. Um because June is my birth month, um, you're you're able to get 50% off that first month um until June 30th by using code Happy B Day. Um, but um I've been able to like create base thing just think on the things that I needed, so and the things that actually work towards getting you certified. So um some of the things that we do, there's like a accountability built in. So if I see somebody go like real quiet in the community, I'm in their DMs, like, hey, what's going on? Um there we also have live sessions every week. So um every two, like every other Tuesday you receive um support with like your study plan and like figuring out what you actually need to focus on studying. And um every second, every other Thursday, you we we actually dive into some strategies or how to um how to answer questions and how to like how to tactic tactically um study for this exam. Um there's also an endurance drill, so one of the things that you need for a four-hour exam is you need to be able to fit through it. So a lot of people that from my study groups, they didn't want to do full mock exams. So I gradually get you up to that four-hour um window, and we talk about strategies and then tools that you can use to maintain your endurance. Um we talk through strategies. Um each week I um I talk about different things that are related to the exam. Um there's there's resources for you're trying to complete your application. Um, one of the things that I started getting bulldozed with was people needing support with their application. And I developed this five-day course where um people were able to actually take the course, work on a different section of their um their application every day, and then have a full application ready by the fifth day to submit. And I've had people to actually do it in five days, so I know that it's possible now. Um and there's just and then I'm also working on a 35-hour course that is for that would qualify for those 35-hour contact hours that you're required to have. Um, and it's going to be public health specific because the people have been asking for it. Yeah. So you're able to learn these um PMI and PMP concepts in a way that is that you can you can easily understand because it's translated to a language that you fully understand. So there's a lot of good things um happening in this community, and um I would love to see you inside.

SPEAKER_00 28:01

Yes, Paris. Oh my God. Like, I'm over here just like cheesing because I'm so proud of you. Like, this is amazing. Everything that you like are building, like, like, oh my god, this is so good. Oh my god. Yeah, like wow, okay, yeah, I'm I'm I'm I'm like, what's my next question here? Like just get giving you your flowers because I know that this is not easy to build, you know, communities, to build like all of these resources, but literally like you lean into an area that you are passionate about and that you are like helping people. And this is like literally exactly what I talk about when like you know, I tell people you can increase your impact and your income at the same time. Like it does one does not have to be like excluded from the other. So I love that that so much. So just kind of thinking about, you know, your journey, like, you know, you you came into the public health club, came into subcontracting the six figures, you know, you're in the CEO circle now. Um, just like what are some of your, I guess from the the subcontract in the six figures course, what are you, what would you say is like one of the top areas that kind of helped you to get to where you are now?

SPEAKER_01 29:18

I feel like the the like when that like day one learning how to niche down was extremely helpful in getting me to where I am now. Because like I said, like I'm good at a lot of things and I can do all things. However, um there are things that I like to do better and that I'm more skilled at. Um, and that people like just naturally come to me and like kind of affirm that okay, this is your strength. Um, so that that that first module on Neaching Down was extremely helpful in getting you to where I am now. So versus I think when I started, I had probably 40 things, 40 services that I was gonna provide, and now I only have three. So it was extremely helpful.

SPEAKER_00 30:06

Yes, and I've it's just so common with us, like we said earlier, like you can we can do it all, but that does not mean our business needs to do it all, especially in the beginning. So I love that so much. And if anybody is like on the fence about subcontracting the six figures or they're thinking about it, what advice would you give them?

SPEAKER_01 30:24

I would say um there's a lot of like school communities and um masterminds on the internet that claim that they're gonna give you like the a good return for your investment, and um they're charging you out like an outlandish amount of money. The six figures, the six um subtracking course is affordable. You're gonna get every single penny's worth that you invest into the course and more, and more and more. So um just do it. Just take this step so that you can um you can you can't. I don't want to be like, be like me, I don't want to get thick head, but you can you can figure it out and start to thrive in your business.

SPEAKER_00 31:11

I love that. Well, thank you so much, Paris, for just like sharing your journey with us, like sharing where you are, where you're going. Like I am super excited, like to see where you're even gonna be like next year. Like next year, you're gonna be even further and definitely gonna have to have you back to see where you are then. Definitely gonna have to have you in the public health club talking about this journey too, talking about what you're doing. Um, because this is amazing. And I'm just so proud of you and just so that you came to share with us today.

SPEAKER_01 31:41
