00:00:09.051 --> 00:00:12.215
Hey, my name is Teresa Hildebrand and this is Organized Chaos.
00:00:12.215 --> 00:00:19.568
We take a deep dive into living with intentionality, focusing on what's important in our lives so we can truly feel our best.
00:00:19.568 --> 00:00:27.809
It may feel chaotic at times, but with a little organization, the right mindset and a ton of self-love, we can still thrive.
00:00:27.809 --> 00:00:34.387
Join me as we talk to other busy moms and experts who will share tips and strategies to help you reach your goals.
00:00:34.387 --> 00:00:37.228
Hope you enjoy this episode of Organized Chaos.
00:00:37.228 --> 00:00:38.863
Now on to the show.
00:00:38.863 --> 00:00:43.889
All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of Organized Chaos.
00:00:43.889 --> 00:00:46.084
I have a little bit of a different episode today.
00:00:46.084 --> 00:00:47.406
I actually have my husband here.
00:00:47.406 --> 00:00:49.271
Mark, say hello.
00:00:49.851 --> 00:01:08.462
Hello Mark because we're answering questions.
00:01:08.462 --> 00:01:26.715
So, if you guys don't know, we actually have a YouTube channel called Modern Leadership and we co-host that channel and we talk to family-driven entrepreneurs and it revolves a lot around family, health and business and how we can actually really work or have those work in synergy.
00:01:26.715 --> 00:01:31.219
So we do get questions from our members.
00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:42.433
So we have a membership in Modern Leadership called the Inner Circle and they will ask us questions every now and then and we answer them, sometimes on YouTube.
00:01:42.433 --> 00:01:57.900
However, we wanted to bring a couple of those questions over to Organized Chaos because we have many audience members who can relate to both of our channels here.
00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:23.206
So, anyway, we're going to answer some questions here and I wanted to start off with one that really is something that has helped me a lot, both mentally and physically, and this question is what tips do you have for decluttering both the physical space that you have and your mind to improve focus and efficiency?
00:02:23.768 --> 00:02:50.575
Now, I think that your environment is really important in setting up the space for productivity, efficiency and just getting you to feel more clarity and feel less overwhelmed, because our physical surroundings really kind of play into some of the mindset tricks that we sometimes can get into.
00:02:50.575 --> 00:03:01.975
So the way that I like to do it is I like to keep kind of like a place that's not just like clutter free, because sometimes we will have clutter.
00:03:01.975 --> 00:03:09.587
However, I try not to keep it that way and I try to keep things in their place Because it does a couple of things.
00:03:09.587 --> 00:03:22.049
One, when you see your environment is chaotic or messy or cluttered, that can affect your mindset, for one, it will distract you.
00:03:22.049 --> 00:03:45.652
You'll always be thinking about I have to pick this up or this doesn't go here and I have to, and you start collecting it, maybe like on your stairs or someplace where you feel like you need to put it away, and that like eats into your like space to really think about things and have clarity for your business or just for things that you want to do.
00:03:46.379 --> 00:03:56.852
So having a clear space or having a space that things are orderly and you can actually find things then you don't have to go scrambling and trying to find things that you really need.
00:03:56.852 --> 00:04:22.447
Like you know, having your laptop or your desktop and having the things that you're going to need on a day-to-day basis when you're working your business, like having them at arm's reach, is really a great way to keep the space decluttered, but also help you focus on the things that you really need to do, because having things all over the place and just feels messy and chaotic, that's what we're trying to reduce.
00:04:22.447 --> 00:04:25.613
So that's my answer to the question.
00:04:25.613 --> 00:04:28.245
I don't know, mark, if you have anything.
00:04:28.625 --> 00:04:31.151
Can I just say yes, and then we move?
00:04:31.211 --> 00:04:31.252
on.
00:04:32.963 --> 00:04:33.564
I absolutely do.
00:04:33.564 --> 00:04:34.146
I absolutely do.
00:04:34.146 --> 00:04:45.355
Yeah, when I think about, like, the whole idea of like decluttering probably also because I have OCD this is also like an even more important subject to kind of talk about.
00:04:45.355 --> 00:04:52.605
But one of the things that come up for me is why it's so easy to be distracted with everything that we have going on, right.
00:04:52.605 --> 00:05:06.322
So you see a pile of laundry or you see something that's not clean, or you see dishes on the counter or you see, I kind of tend to see how easily it is that I can get distracted and that just puts me off track.
00:05:06.322 --> 00:05:09.850
It makes me not be able to necessarily finish what I started.
00:05:09.850 --> 00:05:31.490
But also when you're switching between tasks like that and you're thinking about all the things you have to do after you're working or all the things when you're with family that you have to do in your business, it creates like this and you're not intentional, right, like you always talk about on this, this podcast, and really everything that we do has a lot to do with that intentionality, right, and it's very easy to get off track nowadays because we're full of distractions.
00:05:31.490 --> 00:05:37.533
I mean marketing things in front of us, all the things we have to do, all the different hats we have to wear.
00:05:37.533 --> 00:05:49.975
It's very easy to go down that path and I can only imagine what it's like for a mom to be able to go down that path and seeing all those kind of things on top of all the things that you're doing in business and, you know, trying to keep me alive and all that good stuff.
00:05:49.975 --> 00:05:58.055
So when I think about that, I think about, like, how each one of us is wired a little differently.
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:07.283
Some of the things that I have learned about myself.
00:06:07.283 --> 00:06:10.170
It is seeing what causes me to be distracted and then doing whatever I can to solve that problem in advance.
00:06:10.170 --> 00:06:26.103
So if I'm like, let's say, we're doing our lives, which we do from YouTube, we do downstairs, right, and I can see while I'm there that there's some dishes that the kids left out, I literally it's like hard for me to focus because I'm like, okay, I need to do that as soon as we get done.
00:06:26.103 --> 00:06:38.711
And I find that that if I can solve that problem in advance, for example, like doing those dishes, putting them out of way or just even moving to a different room to record the videos Now I have more intention and I can be focused on the thing.
00:06:38.711 --> 00:06:40.601
And there's two reasons why.
00:06:40.601 --> 00:06:43.086
Number one is because I can get done the thing faster that way.
00:06:43.086 --> 00:06:49.675
But number two is I'm all in and it's always my best work when I'm all in and when I'm not distracted.
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:56.704
So and how I got there is not a just you know.
00:06:56.704 --> 00:06:57.870
All of a sudden, one day everything fell into alignment.
00:06:57.870 --> 00:07:02.103
It was like I was taking the cues of when I would get off track and I would ask myself how can I make sure I don't get off track next time?
00:07:02.103 --> 00:07:14.432
And then it was this process of being able to go back and reverse engineer what I was doing to make it so that I wasn't so distracted and that I was present in no matter what situation I was in.
00:07:14.432 --> 00:07:17.264
So obviously we have different rooms for different things that we do.
00:07:17.264 --> 00:07:31.526
When it comes to watching TV and doing our work in business and doing our live streams, like, being able to do that, like you said, kind of having separate spaces really does help, but so does solving those problems in advance.
00:07:31.545 --> 00:07:32.047
Does that make sense?
00:07:32.047 --> 00:07:32.949
Yeah, it does, and I mean it's.
00:07:32.949 --> 00:07:40.447
It's really about, like, when I think about it, you have, like these dedicated spaces for other areas of your life, right?
00:07:40.447 --> 00:07:48.596
So we have our bedroom and, like that space is specifically for sleeping.
00:07:48.596 --> 00:07:56.141
Like in our situation, we have to have our our workspace there too, because we just don't have a lot of space.
00:07:56.583 --> 00:08:14.004
But if you think about it, like, if you have a dedicated space in an environment that is specifically for that task, whether it's work, whether it's for, you know, taking care of yourself, all of that stuff plays into how focused and how productive you're going to be, because that space is just for that.
00:08:14.004 --> 00:08:23.641
And I think that it also goes to you know whatever you're doing on the computer, like with tabs and things like that, like if you have it set so that you know your habits.
00:08:23.641 --> 00:08:33.895
So if you have it where you get distracted with all of the tabs open, then there's ways to mitigate that to have less tabs open and to be more focused, or to have timers.
00:08:33.895 --> 00:08:46.374
So there's many different ways to do this, you know, to have your physical space be that environment that is conducive to having focus and being productive.
00:08:46.374 --> 00:08:50.303
It just depends on, like, how you operate right.
00:08:50.825 --> 00:08:52.229
Yeah, yeah, and can I?
00:08:52.229 --> 00:08:57.851
Can I hit on that real quick, because what you just talked about was a little bit more of the mental piece, the mental aspect of the game.
00:08:57.851 --> 00:09:11.460
So I was talking to one of our clients and and I know Teresa kind of talked about this, about our inner circle, and we really want to show you some of the things you guys are missing, because when we can dive into these questions and help personalize it for you, it really is a game changer.
00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:16.712
So so there was somebody who reached out to me and was like Mark, like um, I'm following this person.
00:09:16.712 --> 00:09:18.164
I really love what they do.
00:09:18.164 --> 00:09:29.350
They're so powerful, they're so influential, like I want to be like them, but every time they come across my newsfeed, I feel less than I feel like I'm not doing enough, I feel like maybe I got to do what she's doing.
00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:42.346
And one of the things that I learned early on and I make sure I remind my clients about this all the time is we're all different and if we find that there's something that distracts us or puts us into that negative mindset, we can do one of two things.
00:09:42.346 --> 00:09:47.894
Okay, a lot of coaches out there are like, hey, let's reframe it, let's think about it differently.
00:09:47.894 --> 00:09:50.307
Let's change the way that you have that relationship with her.
00:09:50.307 --> 00:09:56.268
So when you see her pop up, you're excited and motivated rather than being uninspired and like you're not good enough.
00:09:56.268 --> 00:10:07.712
But here's what I have to say, here's the performance part of me and the human part of me, and that is like, if you have to do that for every single person you see on social media, you're not going to win the game.
00:10:07.712 --> 00:10:11.144
You're going to lose it because you're not setting yourself up for success.
00:10:11.144 --> 00:10:19.191
So, yes, we can have that fight, but what happens when we're fighting between that and we're fighting between, um, uh, the kids need to be picked up.
00:10:19.191 --> 00:10:20.121
How do I need to get through?
00:10:20.121 --> 00:10:20.764
Like I need to.
00:10:20.764 --> 00:10:23.592
I need to send this invite message, I need to put together this email, I need to do this.
00:10:23.854 --> 00:10:34.895
And now we have all of these other fights that we're trying to reframe and we just have too many irons in the fire and instead we need to ask ourselves is that really worth fighting right now?
00:10:34.895 --> 00:10:36.802
And if it is, go all in.
00:10:36.802 --> 00:10:37.504
I want you to fight it.
00:10:37.504 --> 00:11:00.392
But if it's not, how about you like hide or unfollow, or like get the, not to see that person coming up for right now and revisit that three or six months down the road Maybe, when you don't have a million things that are going on and and like, when you have these kinds of like conversations and you get to see you know what, I'm not a bad person if I don't, if I unfollow her or if I don't lean into her and her program and what she's doing.
00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:08.572
It's just now is not the right time to do that, because I want to use my time and my energy to be a producer, not a consumer.
00:11:08.572 --> 00:11:12.823
It's the difference between being a leader and a follower.
00:11:12.823 --> 00:11:15.750
And when you can actually lean in and say you know what?
00:11:15.750 --> 00:11:18.001
This is not the time for me to fight that fight.
00:11:18.001 --> 00:11:20.807
I have all of these other fights that I have to fight right now instead.
00:11:20.807 --> 00:11:24.394
Then you can start to eliminate some of that noise.
00:11:24.394 --> 00:11:38.344
And so when you unfollow that person, when you don't look at their stuff, you would be amazed at how much more stuff you get done because you're not being distracted and you're solving the problem in advance, rather than thinking you're a bad person because you unfollowed this person.
00:11:38.344 --> 00:11:49.312
If they're your friend or they're whatever right, it's all about doing it in a way that helps serve you and your greater good, while in the end not like having to reframe that every single time you see her come up.
00:11:49.312 --> 00:11:49.972
Does that make sense?
00:11:50.553 --> 00:11:51.975
Yeah, I love that, I love that.
00:11:51.975 --> 00:11:58.081
Okay, let's move on to another question, and I think you have one in mind?
00:11:58.101 --> 00:11:59.345
I don't, but I'm going to pick one right now.
00:11:59.365 --> 00:12:02.111
Okay, so let's talk about the whole active listening.
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:11.128
So we had a Zoom call for Inner Circle and one of the things that they asked us about we're going to actually take a full dive into this whole idea of what's called active listening.
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.965
But one of the things they were talking about was when they're having conversations with their significant other, with their kids.
00:12:16.965 --> 00:12:51.639
A lot of times they get into fix-it mode and, instead of like listening to what the other person's saying, they hear a little bit in the beginning and then they start processing what they're gonna say, how they're gonna stay it, the three tips, the three problems, the three ways they can solve this, and then they start going into this fix-it mode and we do that a lot in business too where instead of actually getting to hear where the person is and getting to the root of their problems which is what we teach inside of our Life and Performance Training Academy instead of doing that, we kind of like hear the first thing and then we go, oh, so they need to do this and this and this and this, and we get into the you know, we call it coaching the action line.
00:12:51.921 --> 00:12:53.823
And then everything else that's come after that.
00:12:53.823 --> 00:12:54.945
It's like we don't even hear it.
00:12:54.985 --> 00:12:57.369
We don't even pretend like it exists, because that's what our brain does.
00:12:57.369 --> 00:12:58.711
It's like oh, this is it.
00:12:58.711 --> 00:13:00.113
Let me lean into that, Right.
00:13:00.113 --> 00:13:07.280
So so, when we think about this whole idea of active listening, like I said, we're going to put together an entire training for inner circle to be able to show them how to do this.
00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:13.160
Yes, For their, for their clients, but honestly, what I believe is even more important is for your family.
00:13:13.160 --> 00:13:15.924
Um, but I'm curious, like, what your thoughts are about.
00:13:15.924 --> 00:13:33.841
Like how do you get yourself to actively listen and not kind of like shut out the rest and just wait for them to stop so you can respond and instead be fully present so you can hear it all and really get them to feel like you know you're listening, you're actually giving them your time and your attention.
00:13:33.841 --> 00:13:34.503
How do you do that?
00:13:35.546 --> 00:13:41.802
Yeah, and I think this has been a process for me, because I didn't realize I was trying to go into fix it mode.
00:13:41.802 --> 00:13:49.807
Right, there was a lot of mentoring involved at the beginning, because that's what I thought was helpful for people.
00:13:49.807 --> 00:13:54.871
They wanted to hear my tips, they wanted me to tell them what it is that they needed to do.
00:13:54.871 --> 00:13:57.094
But as a coach, that's not what we do.
00:13:57.094 --> 00:14:02.697
We listen, and active listening is, you know, that that's what it is right.
00:14:02.697 --> 00:14:11.467
You have to be active and be present in what they are telling you and I think for me it's whatever they tell me at the beginning.
00:14:11.467 --> 00:14:12.629
I have to.
00:14:12.629 --> 00:14:16.889
It's something that I process, right, because when you're listening you're processing this information.
00:14:16.889 --> 00:14:27.351
But, like Mark said, it's not about holding on to that particular thing that has caught your attention and then start trying to find the solution for that.
00:14:27.351 --> 00:14:55.613
It's still about continuing to listen, because at the beginning people will give you surface level stuff and then once they start talking and they keep going, then that's when like the really juicy stuff starts to happen and they start to say, like the really, like important stuff, and then you know, as the conversation is going, then you can kind of see like the bigger picture, because you have been listening and you know whatever happened at the beginning.
00:14:55.613 --> 00:14:59.644
Yeah, maybe it is relevant, but it turns into something else at the end.
00:15:00.245 --> 00:15:07.365
So so for me it's about okay, whatever they start with, I can hear it, I can start processing it.
00:15:07.365 --> 00:15:29.664
However, as they keep talking, I really have to find, like the nuggets in there and kind of like find the patterns and things like that, to really identify how I can help them or if I need to ask more questions, because it's not always about, hey, they're going to tell me what's going on and I have to find the solution to their problem.
00:15:29.664 --> 00:15:35.222
It's like, no, this is an ongoing process and I need more information sometimes.
00:15:35.222 --> 00:15:41.188
So it's not about hey, I just need to have something prepared for them, because I've been processing this as they're talking.
00:15:41.188 --> 00:15:44.610
It's no like, what more information do I need?
00:15:44.610 --> 00:15:46.583
What is a question that I can ask?
00:15:46.583 --> 00:15:48.349
Or we can get a little bit deeper into it.
00:15:49.291 --> 00:15:49.631
I love it.
00:15:49.631 --> 00:16:00.975
I love it and for anybody who is in our Life Coach certification, you know that Teresa is a master coach, so she's always going to start with the stories that she tells herself to make sure that she can regain the focus while she's having that conversation, right.
00:16:00.975 --> 00:16:06.256
So what she just planted right now is she planted a seed of a different belief about.
00:16:06.256 --> 00:16:11.261
In the beginning you get surface level, but later on is when you get the real deep stuff.
00:16:11.261 --> 00:16:20.410
So what you're able to do is, when you believe what she just said, you will get yourself to shift the focus, to paying attention for the entire thing.
00:16:20.410 --> 00:16:20.671
Right.
00:16:20.671 --> 00:16:34.600
One of the things that comes for me so that is a story is what Teresa talked about, but the tactics part of it is something that we're going to what I'm going to teach inside of the Inner Circle call, and that has to do with what's called a pattern interrupt and what a pattern interrupt is.
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.166
It's something that's not just important in this space but also in other spaces.
00:16:38.166 --> 00:16:47.386
When you find yourself reacting, when you get angry, when you just like immediately, without thinking, do that thing, say that thing, and you know you have to apologize later.
00:16:47.386 --> 00:16:58.182
There's a process that we teach that's called a pattern interrupt, which is how you interrupt your normal behavior so that you can create a different behavior in and of itself, and that's a process that we're actually going to have to take people through.
00:16:58.182 --> 00:17:09.000
It's not something we can necessarily do in like five or 10 minutes on a podcast, but when you have that skill of being able to pattern interrupt, now it's just a matter of you know getting the other person to see.
00:17:09.481 --> 00:17:23.768
Number one, that this is important to you to be able to be an active listener, listen to what they're saying from the beginning to the end, and getting them to um or to asking them if they can help provide you feedback in the process, right?
00:17:23.768 --> 00:17:32.405
So one of these things, one of the one of the best ways to like have a conversation about this, is like hey, listen, I know I don't do a good job of listening to you and I love you so much.
00:17:32.405 --> 00:17:39.147
I want to listen to you and every word you say, but as soon as you start talking and start sharing things, this is on me.
00:17:39.147 --> 00:17:45.528
I start going into what can I do to help her or help you, help him, or whatever, and I know that's not the best way.
00:17:45.528 --> 00:17:51.386
So I'm in the process of learning a different tool to be able to make sure that I'm fully present here, because that's what you deserve.
00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:53.007
You deserve a fully present husband.
00:17:53.007 --> 00:17:59.732
But I would love to get some feedback if I do go into fix it mode, if I do go into, and I'm not just asking you questions.
00:17:59.732 --> 00:18:04.471
So if that happens, can you please call me out on it, because I want to get better for you right and for the kids.
00:18:04.471 --> 00:18:12.049
And when you have this conversation, not only is it a connection moment, but it also will help you to hold you accountable to being present.
00:18:12.049 --> 00:18:13.073
Does that make sense?
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.124
Yeah, you know, I was just thinking.
00:18:16.124 --> 00:18:21.432
You know how many marriages can be improved with just that one thing that you just said?
00:18:21.713 --> 00:18:21.874
Mm-hmm.
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.893
About how you can say, like, how can I be fully present and not just go into fix-it mode?
00:18:27.893 --> 00:18:43.766
And I know it's like sometimes we tend to think that like the you know, in a like it's like the, the, the male, um, in the relationship will be more of the fix it type person.
00:18:44.287 --> 00:19:19.501
yeah, we want to go into fix it mode, um, but sometimes it could be the female but, um, I don't know, just like that one tip can be like a game changer in a relationship yeah, yeah, and as you kind of like say, that one of the things that we always, um ask our to do, whether they're trying to improve their relationship, improve their sales and business, improve, like their health and fitness is to call out the elephant in the room, because when you pretend like it's not there, when you pretend like I don't, like, this is going to mean that I'm going to have to tell my wife or my kids that I suck and I failed and I'm, I'm, you know, not as good.
00:19:19.501 --> 00:19:32.607
And and the actual opposite is true, because usually, a lot of times, people are afraid to have those conversations and to say those things, but afterwards, like when you feel how connected you are, it is a true game changer.
00:19:32.607 --> 00:19:52.625
Um, I remember the first time this idea was put, um was told to me it was about six years ago, when I first joined the Dad Edge, and one of the things they were talking about is like do you tell your kids that you're learning how to become a better father and your wife that you're learning to become a better husband, right?
00:19:52.625 --> 00:19:57.432
And so they're like why don't you use that as a connection moment, right?
00:19:57.432 --> 00:20:01.220
So when the kids are like hey, dad, can we play.
00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:01.664
Can we do this?
00:20:01.664 --> 00:20:10.028
And I'm like, hey, it's Friday, it's time for my daddy class and my husbanding class and it just gives you an opportunity of going.
00:20:10.028 --> 00:20:10.450
You know what?
00:20:10.550 --> 00:20:18.736
I went to the police academy and I spent 997 hours learning how to be a police officer and then they put me out on the street and I still didn't know what I was doing.
00:20:18.736 --> 00:20:24.528
So I had a training officer for a year to be able to show me that, and in relationships they don't teach you anything.
00:20:24.528 --> 00:20:26.354
When you get a kid, they don't teach you anything.
00:20:26.354 --> 00:20:32.851
It's like, oh hey, here's the kid, oh hey, here's your wife or your husband and you don't have any teaching and training.
00:20:32.932 --> 00:20:50.073
So I decided I'm going to change that and I'm going to take my relationships and being a parent and being a husband just as important as learning how to grow my business, learning how to be on Facebook, learning how to be a police officer, and think about the connection moments that you get when you're real and authentic that way.
00:20:50.073 --> 00:20:56.476
And, like you said, you'd be surprised what happens when the conversations change around.
00:20:56.476 --> 00:21:04.515
This right, I mean, I've seen not only marriages repaired but businesses thrive because you have the relationship piece under control.
00:21:04.515 --> 00:21:06.307
Now you don't have to worry about it anymore.
00:21:06.307 --> 00:21:15.107
Like you work through the things that you might not think are holding you back because they're not directly related to business, but they 100% could be holding you back right, and it's all about that.
00:21:15.107 --> 00:21:16.794
Calling out the elephant in the room.
00:21:17.765 --> 00:21:26.566
Yeah, and there's a level of self-awareness and ownership that's involved in this, because you're saying, okay, I need to grow in this area.
00:21:26.566 --> 00:21:42.585
I'm I'm going to find the resources to be able to do that, and I'm also going to tell the you know my family that that I'm going to be working on this, that I'm a work in progress, right?
00:21:42.585 --> 00:21:52.652
So lots of you know looking in the mirror and realizing that you know it's okay where you presently are, but you want to be in a better place and you're going to learn how to get there 100%.
00:21:52.892 --> 00:22:06.576
Yeah, okay, I think I think we covered a couple of really good questions, but we do this a lot in our Modern Leadership channel within the Inner Circle.
00:22:06.576 --> 00:22:10.934
So, mark, if someone's interested in finding out more about that, where can they go?
00:22:11.596 --> 00:22:16.436
Yeah, so if you pop open YouTube and you go to Modern Leadership, you're going to see a bunch of videos with me and Teresa.
00:22:16.436 --> 00:22:24.713
So what we typically do is we have videos that we release on Monday, which are shorter videos, that we answer some of the questions that people give us inside of the inner circle, just like how we did here on the podcast.
00:22:24.713 --> 00:22:31.257
And then on Saturdays, every other Saturday, we have a deeper dive into a very specific topic that people are wanting to learn.
00:22:31.257 --> 00:22:45.250
In those three areas, we have three pillars, and that is creating a business like a super successful business that you love, connecting deeper with your family and getting into the best shape of your life, and so we hit up one of those three areas every other Saturday.
00:22:45.830 --> 00:22:48.617
Now how the Inner Circle comes into play is every other Saturday.
00:22:48.617 --> 00:22:58.257
So in between those Saturday workshops that we have live on YouTube, we have very specific content that we teach, where we take a deeper dive into more of the how of putting all this stuff together.
00:22:58.257 --> 00:23:38.070
We actually just got off that Zoom call and on the Zoom call we actually find out what people are personally struggling with in the inner circle, and then we take the skills which, when we think about the hundreds of thousands of dollars that we've spent on our business, on our skills, the books we've read, and we take as much as we can and we bring it into a training that's personalized for people so they can learn that skill in an hour, which, in turn, sometimes taken us years to be able to learn, like the people in there see results extremely fast because, number one, they're willing to jump into something like that and willing to ask those questions, but also because we want to do whatever we can to really serve the members of the inner circle.
00:23:38.070 --> 00:23:45.816
Now another program might sound like it's thousands of dollars and maybe at some point we will change that to be thousands of dollars, but it's $10 a month right now.
00:23:45.816 --> 00:23:47.765
We're trying to keep it as affordable as possible.
00:23:47.865 --> 00:24:04.727
So, as many people as possible whether you're an entrepreneur or not, whether you're a business owner or not, whether you're currently have a family or you're starting a family we want to make sure that everybody has the resources they need to be able to dive into the topic similar to what we talked about today, and that's really what our channel is all about.
00:24:04.727 --> 00:24:09.286
If you're looking to learn about, you know what it's like to be a part of the inner circle.
00:24:09.286 --> 00:24:16.950
If you go to Modern Leadership on YouTube, you can click on the Join button on our channel and it'll bring up a quick video to describe what it is and what's included.
00:24:16.950 --> 00:24:30.678
But even if you decide not to be a part of the membership, joining us every other Saturday, where we have a live stream for everyone on YouTube it's on Saturday mornings is a game changer and you can find out the next workshop that we have coming up.
00:24:30.678 --> 00:24:31.924
You can find out by going to Modern Leadership on YouTube.
00:24:33.185 --> 00:24:53.972
Yeah, so definitely go and check out the resources that we have for you there, and thank you so much for tuning in and listening to us kind of rambling on and on about a couple of questions, but we really did want to just come on here and share some of this information with you.
00:24:53.972 --> 00:24:59.030
So I hope you all have an amazing rest of your day and I'll see you next week.
00:24:59.432 --> 00:24:59.814
Bye everybody.
