Transcript

 Have you ever looked at someone's success and thought, wow, they just got lucky. I was sitting in a car with a friend this past week and he literally asked me if I think that my success within business was because of luck, and I wanna tell you exactly what I told him. And it's probably not what you're expecting.

 This is The Magnetic Millionaire Show, the podcast for women skilling past seven figures who want more clarity, more freedom, more profit, and less doing things just because everyone else is. This isn't another business podcast recycling the same tired advice Here you'll get real numbers, real strategies, and real vulnerability.

It's where strategic insight meets unapologetic ambition without the gatekeeping, it's made specifically for women who aren't afraid to go against the grain. I'm your host, Alyssa Lang, a three times founder fractional CFO Business advisor, millionaire, and a woman who always has done things on my terms, and I'm here to help you do the same.

Let's dive in and build your next million on your terms.

 To set the tone and just to give you guys what happened, why this question even came up, and really the whole context of everything to really see the full picture. I am actually currently on this big long road trip situation, so I started my trip in May. It's now July 1st as I'm recording this episode, and I originally was only gonna be gone for three months from my home.

And I have a travel trailer, which is about a 20 foot travel trailer, and I have a four runner that I tow with the travel trailer. I love off-roading. I love over landing RVing, all that fun stuff. And I just love traveling. It's just me and my dog and we go across different states and every year I usually do this, so for about three months every year I'll typically take off and go somewhere and it's like my favorite thing.

Thankfully I have starlink, so I'm able to work from really from anywhere. And thank God for these companies. I'm able to operate with my team, kind of running the show a lot of the times, and I can just kind of pop in here and there as I'm traveling. And so through this travel process, I started off in Prescott, Arizona, visiting one of my best friends.

And. I knew that I was gonna eventually need to make my way up to Oregon at one point, because there's an off-roading event. It was called Overland Expo that was happening in Redmond, Oregon. And so my plan was to migrate from Prescott, Arizona with a travel trailer, my dog up to Oregon, but then also continue on my travels, potentially Alaska, maybe some Canada, maybe some Montana, Wyoming, who knows?

Honestly, I never really plan it. I don't even know where I'm going half the time. I usually just like kind of wake up and just pivot and decide, and I meet people along the road and it's like my favorite thing. So I wanted to give you guys a little bit of context. Well, in the process of me leaving Prescott, Arizona, I was in Prescott for about a month and a half.

I took off last week to start making my trek to Oregon, 'cause I needed to be in Oregon by, I believe it was June 21st. At that time, that was when the off-roading event was gonna be in Redmond, Oregon. Well, my trip got cut. A little bit faster for me to start migrating up to Oregon and because I was getting like this solar panel set up on the very top of my travel trailer.

Anyways. I don't like usually just driving a full long stretch across multiple states, like literally Arizona, Nevada, California to Oregon. That usually would take probably about 18 hours. That's without pulling a travel trailer. And with me pulling the travel trailer can literally take up to 20, like an a whole day.

So. With that being said, typically I will break up a lot of my trips and they're really long hours because it's a whole nother world. When you are towing something and you're driving, you have to be way safer. You also have to make sure you're driving a really decent speed limit. You don't ever wanna speed because you're towing something.

Well anyways, I have a Toyota four Runner 2021. And while I was passing through my first stop from Arizona, up to Oregon was, I stopped in, um, June Lake, California, which is kind of like Central California. I stopped in June Lake for one night. I'm sad that I didn't get more time there, but I will be back.

And then from June Lake, my plan was to go to Chico, California, which is in Northern California, which is actually where I've lived before in two different times, five years in total. I've lived up in Northern California. I'm now based in Southern California and Lake Arrowhead, or that's at least where my home base is.

So anyways, on my way up to Oregon, my travel trailer plates fell off the back of my travel trailer. And I do wanna get into a Canada, and also, I don't wanna get pulled over while I'm driving. So I have to literally stop at either A DMV or aaa, um, like place before I cross over into Oregon because they won't give you new license plates if you're in a different state that your, your, your, like, car is registered in.

So anyways, my plan was to stop in Chico, California. And stop at an Airbnb. I was gonna kind of take a bit of a break because sometimes being in the travel trailer is great, but like it doesn't have a bathtub. I mean, it has a shower, but like, it doesn't have like a full bathtub. And I love my baths. Um, if you're some of my clients, you guys know, I'm like obsessed with voice, noting you guys, when I'm somehow in the bathtub, that is so much TMI.

So anyways. While I was on my way up to Chico after June Lake, my transmission went out while I was driving through Tahoe. And one of my number one fears is that while I'm driving my, something happens while I'm towing. And it happened. And thankfully I got to Chico safely. Um, it happened about an hour and a half.

I probably like an hour and 45 minutes out from where I was going to my destination, and I was able to successfully get it back. I did not have to get it towed. I just drove it into what's called S mode. I'm pretty good about like making sure that I take care of the forerunner in the car. Like this is like my hobby.

If you guys didn't know this about me, I love off-roading, over landing, getting dirty, camping, mud, all the things. And so typically, like this kind of stuff is like kind of my, my backend hobby. Um, so anyways, I got to my destination safely when I got there. I didn't know at that exact moment that the transmission went out, but I called a buddy of mine and I was like, Hey, can you do me a favor and meet me at my Airbnb?

I know he worked on cars in the past and. I was like, can you just check out my four runner and just tell me if there's something that you think, obviously I was gonna take it into Toyota no matter what, but my plan was to only stay in Chico for two nights and then be at this off-roading event. So I arrived and we unhooked the trailer because I got an Airbnb.

We unhooked the trailer from the four runner, put the four runner in the driveway, and as I was getting ready, he went to go take my car around the blocks a couple times. When he did, he realized that I could not reverse, like my four runner would not reverse out of the driveway. So he came inside and let me know.

And he was like, that pretty much means that your transmission most likely went out and that's what went out while you were driving because usually you can't put your car in reverse when the transmission goes out. Um, so because of that, I decided to make an appointment to Toyota the next day to make sure to go take in my car.

So this. Kind of turned into this big, long now extended trip that I don't want to be extended in one single place because I was supposed to go to these Offroading events. And then for 4th of July, I was supposed to go to Washington for another Offroading event with a group of people. I meet all these people like online.

I just love meeting like the Offroading community. So this is bringing me to my story of how this conversation came up with him. While we were sitting here, I had to, the next day I brought in my four runner and Toyota told me, they called me and they were like, yep, your transmission went out. Which is crazy guys.

I have a 2021 Toy four runner, and it's relatively new. It only has 50,000 miles. I really don't drive it often unless I'm traveling, 'cause I work mostly from home. It has no business going out. A transmission. Has no business going out that early. So. Thankfully, originally Toyota was like, we're gonna have to look into it to see if we're gonna cover it.

It's gonna be $11,000 of a transmission to fully replace it, brand new. Um, and you've done so many modifications because I've kinda like beefed up my forerunner since I've gotten it, since I do off-roading a lot with it. Um, they were like, you've done so many modifications that essentially they're trying to look for if it was gonna be voided through warranty.

So thankfully three days later they called me and they're like, we're gonna cover it, but it's gonna take. Four to six weeks for this transmission to get into town in Chico. It's not like I can just like be like, oh, I'm gonna go to another Toyota. Yes, I could technically tow tow it, but he was like, it's gonna be sold out.

They're back ordered right now. Like it's just not something that you can easily have available. So like. Long story short, I'm eight hours away from my home base, which is in Lake Arrowhead, California, and I'm stuck with a travel trailer that I literally cannot tow because my four runner is literally in the shop.

I cannot get these parts for four to six weeks. Thankfully, it's already ordered, but I'm just pretty much a sitting duck. And so in this process, I now had to extend my Airbnb, which isn't a hefty penny. It's like a seven grand Airbnb for about six weeks of me to stay here and. Anyways, so my friend, he picks me up and we decide to go to dinner.

And while we're at dinner, we start having this conversation about business. And he was just kind of explaining to me just some things that he was experiencing at work. And my biggest thing is that every time I hear this from people, a k, a, when I hear people like. Complain about their situation or whatever it might look like.

I try my best to have mostly compassion, but then on the other side of the coin, I typically will come in, especially if it's someone that I know really, really well, a really good friend of mine. I'll usually come in with like the compassion, but then also the reality of of the other side of the coin, to let them know that.

Life can be different and that you just have to change your circumstance, that the circumstance that you're currently in, while I'm compassionate with what you're experiencing, you have every right to change that. And you have every opportunity to be able to flip that around for you. And so we got in the conversation of business and then he looked at me, he like stopped, looked at me and he said, do you think that your business was because of luck, like AKA, the success that you had in business, do you believe that came from luck and.

You know, most people I feel like, would be really triggered by that question. And I feel like in the past it probably would've triggered me. 'cause I'd be like, how dare you say that? Like, but now I like don't need to prove it because I'm like, my success has been really, I'm, I'm very grateful for the success I've had.

To give you guys a little bit of context, right before I hit record on this podcast episode, I looked up through my p and l to see when I hit my quote unquote success that he's referring to. My, it took me to my second company, by the way, second company, about a year and a half into the company we heard hit our very first million, so a year and a half, first million, which is crazy because like on the outside, a lot of people were looking at that as luck that I had just like struck gold because we, like, when I looked at the timeline, it was like the first eight months, I believe, eight months in.

It was either eight or nine months. I have to look back at it was when we hit our first half a million and before that, like the first four months, we couldn't even break six figures. Like it just wasn't happening. So like success did sound like it happened really, really quickly, but however, it's not because of luck.

Right. And so another piece of this story and another part that I kind of wanted to share with you guys is that. I used to live in Chico for five years, two different times, and he knew me when I was the bartender at the bar in town. He knew me when I was wild and free and like did all the like crazy party, the party version of myself, the, the young and the crazy version of me.

The one that we've all been at one point, right? And he knew me as a different person and he never knew me as this new version of myself. This new version where success has happened to me that. Uh, transmission can go out on me and I can confidently be like, it's fine. If it does go out, I'm gonna be fine.

Like, I'm literally gonna be fine. When like in the past, that would've not been my mo, I would've been a little bit stressed out. I would've been like, I can't afford that Airbnb. What am I gonna do? Oh my God, what about the 11,000? I'm very grateful to be in that position, but that's not because of luck.

And so. I turned to him and I was just like, I deeply appreciate what you just asked me. And while it feels like that might have been luck, I do not believe that luck exists within business. I genuinely think, and this is my 2 cents, I genuinely believe that it's all because of the right timing, the right market, and the right offer.

If you have those things, it can feel like luck on the outside. Sometimes you're not aware that you came into the market at the right time, so you might not be aware of that it was the right audience or the right market, or right, like you might not have intentionally done that, but that doesn't mean it was luck.

It just meant that you picked something at that time that made the most sense for you, that therefore turned into the right market, right audience, right time, right offer, and so I genuinely believe. That this is truth within business that we don't get necessarily quote unquote lucky. I believe that someone who gets lucky is someone who wins the jackpot.

Obviously you have to go buy a ticket. So there are parts that like they still had to do something, but I believe that's more luck with business. There's a lot that goes into it. And he had said, well, you know, maybe it was, you weren't aware that you picked the right time to get into the audience. So to give you guys a little bit more context around my business, my second company, so my company's called Workflow Queen.

I started that company on February 14th, 2020, right before the pandemic happened. Had no idea it was gonna start, didn't know it was gonna exist, obviously none of us did. And at that time, I was struggling within my own firm and I decided to start selling my templates and start packaging my asana.

Essentially, I used to run my own firm into these templates that I was gonna sell to the accounting space. Well, as we all know, anybody who started a course in 2020 and during COVID, things kind of took off really, really f quickly for people. But I will tell you guys that for about six to seven months, barely anybody bought.

No one really bought. Nobody knew who I was in the sense of like, who is this woman? So even though COVID had started, I don't believe, I just think that it was the right offer because I went through and I understood how to market it. I changed the way I thought about it. I got coached on understanding how to market it, and then I realized the right audience that I had, and then the timing was absolutely perfect when it hit and when it took off.

And when we hit our first. Seven figures. And so the reason I'm coming back to that is because during this conversation with him, I told him I believe that I had the right timing, the right audience, right market, and the right offer. And while I didn't. Feel that I understood at the time that it was the right timing and the right audience.

I knew I had the right offer. I knew deep in my soul that that offer was going to change the game for the accounting industry. I knew that I had the right market, but I just might not have known that I had the right timing or the right product or all these different things. Right. Okay, so that was the first thing that I kind of tackled with him first to kind of get off like my chest and say, Hey, look, I appreciate it, but I don't believe that luck exists inside a business.

And then I continued to say something that I think a lot of people might not realize to say, kind of right away. My next thing I followed up with that is that if in fact, let's just say that my business, I did strike some lucky cord, I will tell you that that lucky cord, even if that was the case. Luck isn't the thing that's gonna continue to push my business forward.

Luck is not longevity. So if it was luck that got me started, that's cool, but luck doesn't build three companies. Luck doesn't last nine years. Luck doesn't get me through the pivots, the breakdown, the market dips, you know, AI coming in the game and, and all these additional components that's needed to create longevity within my business.

And as I had shared that with him, he was like, oh, you're actually, you're right. Like, I mean, if in the moment I, I was lucky, which I don't believe I was, if let's just say in that case I was lucky, then that means is luck been carrying me this whole entire time? Has it been carrying me through nine years?

And so this is something that I didn't feel triggered by this. I was actually very much like so proud of myself in the way that I responded to this, in the way that I. Shared what I could, because no matter what, I'm never gonna be able to change the way that someone thinks about me. One thing I wanted to share is that the last person I dated.

One thing that he said to me right before I left, um, like our relationship and stuff, is he told me money changed me. And mind you guys, I hit my first million while me and him were together and we both didn't have a lot of money when we started dating. So like it's, it's a bit of a, a shift, right? Because we came in with a, a specific social contract together as far as like, this is what we both live like, and then like all of a sudden my contract kind of changes, right?

And. That to me for the longest time, used to really bother me. I used to journal about this all the time, about how he would tell me that money changed me 'cause I would second guess myself. Did money change me? Is that what changed me? And here's what I believe about when people say that. Well, that money changes people and what I believe it actually is.

On the outside, now that the money has come, now that I know what life is like, not having to worry about these major parts of life hitting me like a transmission 11 K transmission and getting dropped with like a seven K Airbnb and also having to get to a rental car while I'm waiting on this four runner that I cannot leave the like leave, right?

Here's my thoughts about it. I believe that money does not change people. I believe that money just gives someone an opportunity to be a different version of themselves because it creates more flexibility and freedom in their life. And so what I mean by this is that money allowed me to expand myself.

Money allowed me to get access to things that I couldn't have before. That allowed me to expand as an individual, the therapy that I wanna do, the car that I really wanted, the dream car, and it wasn't about like this fancy Ferrari or whatever. And if that's what you want, that's cool. But for me it was getting this four runner, it was a dream car of mine.

Getting this four runner was a very big staple moment for me. And it sounds like it's about the money, but it's really not because that four runner has given me the opportunity to be able to go camp in the middle of the woods with a really big group of friends having a great time in like sitting by a campfire.

I couldn't do that in my little Kia. I couldn't do that. And so when I believe that when people say money changes you is because it, it genuinely, it does. It does. It changes you. But what they don't see is that the change is not something that like it, it's very much like, it's hard to like explain sometimes, but I feel like if you understand what I'm saying, please tell me on Instagram because I would love to hear it go to at magnetic profits.

And I'd love to hear like your story and your take on this, or if you believe that money does change people or whether it's negative or positive, please share that. I love, I love having these types of conversations with you guys. I just believe deep down that money just gives me the opportunity. I also was thinking about this when I was on a walk the other day that before if the same situation happened to me while I was here, which is crazy to be back in the same city that I used to live in, that I've been broke, my mom made me homeless.

It's a whole nother freaking story for another day. Um, I've just gone through a lot of crazy situations here in this town. And to be on the other side of that, to not have to worry about those things. It allows me to still create space to do what I need to do to take care of myself. When before my only number one focus while going through something like that would've been like, oh God, how am I gonna make money?

I gotta get a job. I gotta do this, right? And so now I just have more space to be like, okay, like let's move on. Like now I can still focus. Now I'm stuck here. Like, let's go walk my dog. Let's go outside more. Let's go spend some time in nature, whatever that might look like. So I genuinely believe. That money can change people in good ways, but it just gives people more opportunities to do the things that they want.

Now, I do believe that there is the other side of the coin, which is sometimes when people have money, they use it in the wrong way. But that's like not what I'm saying here. So going back to the whole. Do I think that my business created luck? For me, luck, like I mentioned before, is not longevity. It would not have carried me through all the grit, the execution, the adaption, the deep self-awareness, the discipline, especially when motivation is gone, especially when things feel really hard.

A lot of people will bill out and they're gone. So timing. A lot of the times looks like luck. So for example, COVID and digital education, COVID and face mask businesses. So I was recently at an event and the guy was sharing about how he had just started a face mask business and it was like literally months before COVID happened and they had no idea COVID was gonna happen.

That's still not luck. That's still not luck, even though it feels like luck. He just happened to have the right business at the right moment. Right when the pandemic happened. His, he ended up selling his business like he sold it for millions because he blew up because face masks. They were trying to sell these face masks right during COVID, right when everybody needed them the most.

But I will tell you if it was luck, luck did not carry through getting more product, making sure that he had employees to be able to like package them and send them and, and mail them, and all the nights that he probably had to stay up stressing about all these different types of things. And so when we look at the timing when it comes to people's success in business, while it might feel like luck, it usually isn't because luck is not as what's going to create that longevity.

Another example of this is today's wave of AI and automation, and there's some people out there who truly, genuinely, uh, fear this. I just saw this morning, um, a friend of mine who actually was on threads and she was talking about her, pretty much her copywriting business she feels is gonna go obsolete.

And she's fearful and I, I have full compassion for her because it's a hard thing to navigate when you know that your co, your business might not exist in a couple of years. And while there's this wave, this is where we start to identify shifts in the market to say, how can I get in on the wave? Because that wave, just like anything else, you can't always go up and you can't always go down.

There is a wave for a reason. And so we need to see the ebbs and flows in business. And right now, if that wave is going up for ai. Why not hop on that opportunity? And so some people from the outside perspective will look at that and say, well, that's luck. No, it's not. I'm seeing this shift. The people who, when COVID did hit, they started seeing face masks, fly face masks, fly off the shelf, and then they pivoted their business and started selling face masks.

Were smart. They weren't lucky. They were smart. They pivoted. They pivoted when they saw it, and they took the opportunity and ran with it. But do you think that they still have their face mask business? No. They sold it off. They were done because they were smart enough to know and understand and watch the market and watch the way it shifts.

So today's wave when it comes to automation, all these different things, take advantage of it. It's not lucky. You know, just go for the opportunity. How can you leverage it within your business? How can you start teaching it? Whatever that might look like for you. Right? If it was me and I owned a copywriting business in this moment, I would probably be leveraging AI in in a way that most people aren't.

I'd say our fees are actually gonna be drastically cut down because now we are utilizing ai. We can come in as a high level business advisor when it comes to your marketing and for your copywriting, and we could take a step back and we can actually look at. The way that you are presenting the AI written copy, like there are still so many areas of opportunities, but you have to leverage it.

You have to partner with it, you have to move forward with it. The people who didn't move or didn't shift or aren't willing to change are the ones that are gonna feel like they're unlucky, but the ones who are not sitting on the sidelines, who are taking action and moving forward, it's not lucky. That is straight peer action.

They're doing something with it. So let's talk about creating luck intentionally. So I want you guys to think about, you know, what are you looking at shifting in your industry? So, what are some things that you're finding, whether that's like the copywriter, for example, if you're finding that it feels like it's becoming obsolete, maybe that industry is no longer working for you, maybe there's an opportunity to start looking at different industries.

How can you start shifting? Um, where, how can you test your audience more? How can you ask people and leverage. I know that for me, I'm not getting rid of my copywriter anytime soon. And I love my copywriters, like I am obsessed with them. And even though I know that they use ai, I wouldn't get rid of them because at the end of the day, even if I, AI were to produce copy.

It's still not gonna get it right, it's still not gonna be as fully aligned. Even if we give it the best prompts, the best things ever, someone still has to skim through it. And so instead of getting to this place where we fear this thing, why can't we just take a step back and say, how can we move? Test, pivot, rebuild.

Watch how everybody wants it done and fix it. So instead of saying, you know, woe is me, my copywriting business is gonna go obsolete, why not be the person in the industry that's gonna change the way people think about the use of AI with copy? So for example, I would be going out and doing heavy social media, heavy marketing, heavy email sequences all around why you should not allow AI to be the end all, be all for all your copy, right?

Those are ways that we can test and pivot so that we're creating our luck, quote unquote intentionally. So are you testing, iterating, building when no one's really watching that? That luck isn't, it's not really luck, but like that, that is someone building and, and putting the work into it, but it will feel like luck for other people.

People don't recognize the things that you do behind the scenes that make you feel like you are creating luck. They just don't see it, and that's okay. You're not here to prove that to people. My proof is, what is it? The proof is in the pudding. My proof is in the pudding. My proof is like the check I get to write myself.

My proof is in the taxes I have to pay to someone I might like. It's all these other little moving components. So are you staying ready to move when the window's actually open? This is the biggest piece right now. I deeply, deeply believe that ai, um, is going to shift every single industry. If you look back at trends that have happened in the US and things just in general, like in the world, you could talk about the world or us, it doesn't really matter.

If you look back in time at major shifts in industries, whether it was real estate, whether it's manufacturing or what, whatever that might look like, the internet or whatever it is that you're thinking about. A lot of the times when something major is happening, it's usually affecting maybe like a couple of industries, but there's.

A couple of moments in time in history where one particular thing shifted almost every industry. So I'll give you a great example of that. The internet. The internet was the last time, in my opinion, that we've had such a major shift as ai. No one died. I mean, I don't know people, people died during that time, but like, no one really died because of the internet.

Like no one's gonna really die because of ai, or at least what we think. Um, but like what I'm trying to share with you guys is that when we're looking at. These trends and these different things that we go through in business, but I genuinely believe that AI is going to impact every single industry. So instead of fearing it and instead of getting, getting frustrated with it or, or wondering if you're not gonna be here anymore, it's time for you.

To just look at the open windows. It's time for you to look at the opportunities at which you can start to pivot. Because if you're not already looking at where do you need to pivot when two years comes down the line, we don't even know guys, AI is moving so fast right now. I just had this conversation with my bestie when I was in Arizona with her.

Is we were talking about what industries do we believe are gonna stay and what industries do we believe are gonna become obsolete? Um, in what ways can we start preparing for how that's gonna shift even our own industry? So I'll give you an example of magnetic profits here. So we do bookkeeping, but we also do mostly advisory.

So 80% of our work is mostly advisory services. Full blown strategies we create for clients. We're in their back pocket advisors, really taking them to the next level. And the other 20% is where we're doing more of like the financial maintenance, so around the bookkeeping and the reporting, stuff like that so that someone can get ready to file their taxes.

And with looking at the 20% of our business around the bookkeeping side of things. Um, yes, technically QuickBooks, literally, I'm not kidding you, like, I think it was like a couple days ago, came out with like their QuickBooks ai, it is trash. So if you're gonna like, be like, I'm gonna fire my bookkeeper because now QuickBooks has ai, don't do it.

Like, don't do it. I'm telling you, I was reading through some of the things that they were trying to like, categorize as like AI and telling you like, oh, this transaction would be, this is literal trash. Like they do not. Have it down to a T do I believe eventually it'll get better? Absolutely. But I do believe that every purchase anybody makes is subjective to where they're purchasing it from.

So, um, sometimes someone might be purchasing, I don't know, a cell phone. And some of you might be like, oh, well that's pretty straightforward. It's just like a telephone. Cool. But there's sometimes moments where that might be a cost rather than a direct expense. There's so many different variables within accounting that I don't believe that it's gonna be fully obsolete as far as when AI comes into the accounting space a little bit more and they get it better and they get it right.

But that doesn't mean that it won't be down the line. But like what I'm trying to predict and what I'm trying to do behind the scenes and the conversations I'm trying to have with other people in the industry. Is stopping and saying, how long do you think we have until AI fully takes over this component and this part?

I don't believe that AI can really take over, at least in my opinion, soon full on advisory because I do believe that yes, you can have conversations and even I do with myself, uh, in Chachi pt. Of, you know, different things. I wanna strategize within the business. I still am calling my business advisor. I'm still on the phone with industry experts.

I'm still calling other people and relying on these communities to kind of get confirmation and see how other people are doing it. I do believe that there are parts of. Our businesses that will be taken over from ai. And I don't think it's something that we need to fear, we just need to pivot. We need to to look at the open opportunities and say, how can we ride that wave as it's coming in?

Because when this WA wave goes through, we're gonna have yet another wave. It's inevitable. It's just how it goes. You want to feel lucky. But you have to be prepared because the ones that actually win are those of you who are not waiting. You're actually trying to find the right time. And like I said, sometimes that time just comes naturally and just like falls on your lap.

And that's great, but that's not luck, right? Because someone had to take action on that. So a couple of things before we end off this episode. I'm actually really loving this episode a lot. I feel like there was a lot of points I did not intend to actually cover in this episode, and I'm really hoping that this was not something that made you feel fearful because it's not supposed to be, like I said, if you're, you're just unaware of how to be looking at the market and looking at shifts and looking at ways that you can pivot.

Please feel free to reach out to me. This is one of my favorite conversations. It is overwhelming and hard and sometimes we can't talk to our own team about, this is my fear, and this is what I think is happening because we don't want them to be fearful. So if you want someone to be that shoulder and someone to listen to you and you wanna know what it's like to build something intentionally and not with luck.

Please feel free to shoot me a deem on Instagram that's at Magnetic Profits. Um, you can also email me support@magneticprofits.com. You can go to my website, you can book a call with me. Whatever makes sense for you. I'm here for you. I can be that strategic partner with you as you're shifting. I know that it can be stressful and it can be overwhelming.

I just want you to know that I hear and I see you, and if someone ever comes up to you and says, you're just getting lucky within business, that's okay. It's okay to feel triggered. Like I said, I was triggered in the past, like in my past times people have asked me this type of question, but it no longer triggers me.

It gives me an opportunity to educate a friend of mine who maybe doesn't realize that no, it wasn't luck because other people might say it's luck, but it's really not. I want to be a voice of reason. I want to be someone's. Someone's opportunity to understand and hear them, and for someone to support them as, as they try to navigate, what do I do next?

I'm overwhelmed in this position. What would I do? Because it sounds like you got luck, but then me saying it actually wasn't, and here's what I did. I'm okay with people thinking it's luck. I will probably forever go to my grave with people thinking that I struck lucky and I got this, and Alyssa's doing that and whatever that might look like.

And if you're feeling like that too and you feel like you're in that position where people are like, oh my God, they just got lucky. Oh my God, they just got this. And they just got that like. You worked really fucking hard to be, be here and so did I, and it's not too late to pivot. I know that it's hard as we start to navigate bigger, deeper, louder, stronger things that impact our industries.

But at the end of the day, it's not all by luck like, you've got this, you've done this before. You're gonna be okay. I'm here for you if you need it. Luck int build this business. Luck int build yours Disciplined. Did vision did. And so can you. You can build this thing and keep going and keep going. There will always be people who will call this luck and let them, you'll be too busy creating the next opportunity.
