dang well. Today's another good day now. Last night today's the second of the month so yesterday was making sure cards are paid off. You know, auto pays are happening, everything is good to go, and oh, I'm going to pull from the line of credit again. No, I don't want to do it, but that's where we are at right now. And had the weekly check-in with the my marketing agency. They're doing really well, checked in with the sales team and they're getting up to speed on some things and it not quite where we need to be, and so I'm trying to figure out how to keep this, how to keep things rolling, how to keep things moving so that the club can grow, thrive, survive and do all the good stuff.

Speaker 1: 1:10

Along the way I I saw something over the weekend a colleague that he's been like posting all over the place, like on Facebook and on LinkedIn, and it's almost like been annoying. But it seems like he's doing okay, career wise. So I said, hey, hey, friend, let's check out, let's see how you're doing. We haven't talked in a couple of years. We met in like another networking group and we're just talking about stuff he's working on and dude it. I need to, I need to allow myself to think bigger in my head, like I'm thinking about my day job. I'm thinking about, you know, the gym, the or the studio, rather the revenue, the sales, the goals that we have here. And he's talking about groups this season where their goals are for the month, where they have a twenty thousand dollar revenue day. To me it's like holy cow. We do like forty thousand a month in revenue in a $20,000 revenue day. To me it's like holy cow. We do like $40,000 a month in revenue in a month. And he's doing $20,000 in a single day after a webinar and a lead up and then an offer at the end, and that's what he does for like $20,000 to $40,000 in a day in revenue after a couple of weeks of buildup.

Speaker 1: 2:12

The people at the group season, they do challenges, so they'll do a thing. Where that you would need to, you need to do like a hundred thousand dollar day and then and that's the smallest prize, like when you, when you win a trophy or something then from there, like the next checkpoint is a million dollar offer day and the biggest one they have is a $5 million offer day. Now, it doesn't mean you make five million in money, but you have a product or an offer, say like a ten thousand dollar or twenty thousand dollar program, and then you offer it and then like a thousand people like are interested in it and they want more or like they're available, and I don't know how all the details that they do on it, but they have like hundreds of thousands of dollars of opportunity in front of them at any given moment, and part of it and we were just talking very casually about, like you know, compensation. You know what I make, what he makes, what we're aiming to make, and you know, I I think I make it a little bit more than him, but he works a fraction of the hours that I do and right now I'm working 50 hours a week and trying to.

Speaker 1: 3:19

I'm working on my day job, working on the studio, I'm working on the side hustles to try to keep the studio afloat and it's it's a lot of hours and working a fraction of it. He has a lot more time and availability for things outside of just work, work, work, go, go, go, go, and so I'm learning as much as I get myself psyched up and ecstatic about you know, hey, here's what I'm doing, here's what we're up to, here's how we're growing. You know, let's go to realize like, okay, like there's a whole nother level of how to think bigger, of how to deliver more value and how to get your message and your, your ability to add value to the world out there a lot more readily. And so we're going to I'm hoping we can partner up on something I don't know what, but partner up on something and just to be reminded like there's so much out there, there's a lot that you can do, and to see it and to not be overwhelmed by it was really cool. So there's no takeaway from today other than keep up with people that are just trailblazing what you want to be doing, because for me, it's the time availability and less the big bucks, as long as bills are paid and finances are covered, to have the time flexibility is a huge thing Because, like my wife, today's the first day of being a stay-at-home mom and it's been overwhelming. I can hear the kids running around upstairs going crazy. Right now it's nap time and just the time availability is a huge thing, and to have, like our, our finances covered and to have the time availability, that'd be a a huge win. So that's where we're at right now.

Speaker 1: 4:58

I don't know what else to say other than keep up with good people that are doing good things, figure out how to add value to their lives, and and it'll. They either will directly add value to your life or they'll connect you to the right people, cause everyone wants to take, everyone wants a freebie, a sample, a bonus, a handout, and not enough. People are like, hey, I'm just going to give, give, give, and then people will want to give back Because everyone knows what it's like to give and you never get something in return. And so when they see someone, hey, you're a give, give, give person, I'm a give, give, give person. Let's help each other out. It's really, really cool to see that. So that's where
