But today I looked at my feed at something jumped out at me.

It was the Brad Lea podcast and his guest was Tai Lopez.

Now I have to tell you…

I’ve never been a fan of this guy.

He’s flashy, brags a lot and I’ve seen him make some outrageous claims over the years.

But for some reason I got pulled in and listened to these two men and some of what they had to say was profound.

Tai spoke about how the education system had changed over the years from a kinesthetic system to an auditory system.

What that means is that in the past people earned by actually doing things with their teacher.

The students had mentors and they were the apprentices until they had learned a skill and became a master in their own right.

For centuries students sat with their mentors and learned at their feet.

This is where the concept of a GURU comes from.

Guru means mentor, guide, expert, or master

And the goal was to learn from one until you became one.

But somewhere alomg the line we moved to classrooms and listening versus doing as the main learning method in society.

Only one problem…

Only 10% of people learn from just listening.

Now me…

I guess I was lucky.

I am ADHD and I figured out early on that classroom learning was not how I was going to unleash my genius so I have always sought out “gurus” aka teachers that wanted to let a precocious student sit with them and work with them and learn by doing.

And this is why I have always taught the way I’ve taught via workshops and events where I could TRULY lay hands on the people versus just recording something that I know most people will not be able to learn from.

And for the record…to me…learning is not about intellectually understanding something.

Learning is about being able to execute the thing you decided you want to master.

And the responsibility for that lies on the STUDENT…

Not the the “guru”

The teacher is there to continually help you SEE things from a different perspective…

Not to get you to DO YOUR WORK.

Cause if you are looking for a person who will get you to DO YOUR WORK…

TRUST ME…

You WILL lose money.

Because no one is gonna do that for you but you.

When you think about it…

Ancient masters were honored and revered.

And contemporary teachers have been ridiculed and dissed.

WHY?

Because the role is completely different and the pain of sitting at a desk is BIG.

No wonder we hated our teachers.

They were trying to force us to learn in a way that is completely unnatural to us.

So now take a step back and think about how you have been trying to learn how to build a stable income from home.

Do you have a teacher that you have committed to?

Or are you buying a course every other week.

Do you have personal access to your teacher or are you just one in a huge crowd.

Do you go to events for hands on learning or to take pictures with all the people that make all the money (I think this is an absolutely bizarre practice)

For me…

The teacher path is way smarter all day long.

And today Tai Lopez completely changed my mistaken opinion of him.

He may be flamboyant and at times pretty damn bold…

But clearly he’s a very smart man and he took true advantage of being a master student to master teachers.

And hopefully you will too.

I’ll be back tomorrow to tell you a bit more about what I have up my sleeve for 2024.

I’m looking for a few special people who truly GET what I’m talking about here.

It’s remarkably profound advice.

Finding your MASTER  and COMMITTING to being a MASTER STUDENT will change your life.

And shrink your learning curve dramatically.

Ok…

I better wrap this up.

I am still sniffly and need to get myself into bed.

Hopefully I’ll be coming to you tomorrow as a healthy girl.

 

Night,

Signed,

It’s The Circle Of Life

The post He’s Right About This… first appeared on .

This is a weird year for me.

Pretty much everything in my life changed in 2023.

My last kid moved out.

I gave away most everything I owned.

I left my home of 30 years and moved half way across the country.

And this is my first year living on my own for the holidays.

And in a warm climate to boot.

To say my life has changed would be an understatement.

And I’m not gonna lie.

It’s been scary and tears have been shed.

I turned and faced the strange to become a better (wo)man.

The lyrics above are from a Bowie classic.

And they seemed fitting tonight as I sat down to write you.

Things have been kinda weird for me lately as most of the things that used to drive me don’t much move me anymore.

But today something interesting happened.

I agreed to be part of a book project and today we did the preliminary interview in which we were to decide what my chapter and mini course would be on.

The owner of the company that is producing the book is an old friend of mine and he has known me for over 10 years.

He’s seen me on all the stages and doing what I do best…

TEACHING

And during this planning session he asked me a bunch of questions that really drilled down what I know the most about and the thing that has been the secret to my success for the past 25 years of working from home.

Imagine that…

No job for 25 years

Complete freedom for 25 years

Being your own boss for 25 years.

That’s what I’ve done and it all comes down to one word.

LEVERAGE

Leverage in RELATIONSHIPS

Leverage in EXPOSURE

Leverage in COMMUNICATION

Leverage in INCOME

And while most people are running around looking for a “program THAT WORKS” I over here looking for where I can find the most LEVERAGE.

That’s ALWAYS been my secret.

And why I never worry much about any of the “rules’ that are out there…

When you have leverage everything comes much eaiser.

Thing about a teeter totter.

How can a little kid lift an adult on one?

The reason is LEVERAGE.

How do I work a few hours a day most often from my parents. a resort or my favorite a cruise ship and still earn hundreds of thousands of dollars?

LEVERAGE

So I have decided to dedicate 2024 to the mission of teaching LEVERAGE to those that grasp how it can set them free.

I’m putting together a series of trainings, workshops and Wondershops (live events) to dive DEEP into these ideas.

You NEVER have to work hard once you’ve gained leverage.

But most won’t take the time to gain it leaving themselves running in circles for years on end.

Aren’t you tired of that?

If you’ve been dying to dig into the deep psychology of prospects, the less technical easy automations that make you bank and  access to opportunities that you never thought would be given to you …

THIS IS THE ONE.

More details tomorrow but I wanted to give you the heads up.

I’m looking for a handful of people who want to get up close and personal and learn the one thing that has been my secret for 25 years now.

Products and programs come and go.

People do as well.

But a skill set is something that can never be taken away.

2024 is the time to commit.

Gosh knows I am.

I haven’t done anything like this in over a year and to be honest…

I’m a changed woman.

I’m only looking for the people I can pass this legacy to.

If that might be you…

Stay tuned.

to SAY SOMETHING that will make it happen for them.

So today I want you to consider…

Do you really want that stuff?

And do you really want to promote that stuff?

Or do you want a program that is is easy to promote that has offers that people want and a product that keeps em buying?

Do you want your new guy to get out of the gate with a sale right away or do you want him buried in “training”?

I’ve always found that the people who just asked…

“How do I generate a lead and how do I make a sale?” to be THE KEEPERS and the ones who were seeking “MORE TRAINING” to be the bolters.

And that’s also why I don’t “train” but instead give  concepts and new ways of thinking to those that are in action.

In the end the thing that is going to save you is YOU doing the work and through that work LEARNING THE MOVES from that that would GROOM YOU.

Trust me…

There’s a BIG difference between training and grooming.

Grooming requires your action.

There’s a huge difference between coaching and mentorship.

Mentorship requires your action.

So what message does “hand holding and step by step instructions give?

It’s says that someone other than YOU has to do the work.

And ya…

You may sign a few people up that way…

But at what cost?

Anyways…

Just a ramble.

Some ideas for you to roll around in that beautiful head of yours.

Sometimes it’s funny how business can be counterintuitive.

But it is.

And that’s the kind of stuff I show people.

How to THINK in a whole new way.

If you love this stuff…

Let me know and I’ll do more!
