00:00:01.544 --> 00:00:10.185
Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to another episode of Electric Purner Secrets, the Premium Service Electricians podcast.

00:00:10.185 --> 00:00:22.582
We're back with episode 178 of trying to help you master your sales, simplify your pricing and deliver premium level electrical service in your neighborhood, in your marketplace.

00:00:22.582 --> 00:00:25.570
Joe, would it be wrong of us to want to help some people with that today?

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:27.643
No, it would not.

00:00:27.643 --> 00:00:29.248
I absolutely love when you use that phrase.

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:31.682
How are you doing today, brother?

00:00:31.682 --> 00:00:32.847
How was the weekend, by the way?

00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:36.046
Honestly, weekend was really really good.

00:00:36.046 --> 00:00:41.734
I was going to say some family might be listening, so I'm going to pick my words nicely and just say I got to see some family.

00:00:41.734 --> 00:00:43.933
It was really nice that I did.

00:00:43.933 --> 00:00:48.819
I got to understand them a little bit better and I get to plan moves accordingly in the future.

00:00:48.819 --> 00:00:52.085
So as a whole, it was a productive weekend for your boy.

00:00:52.908 --> 00:00:53.950
Awesome, man, awesome.

00:00:53.950 --> 00:00:55.091
What about you?

00:00:55.091 --> 00:00:59.682
I'm going to get a little bit of a sleep in this morning, mostly because I stayed up a bit late last night.

00:00:59.682 --> 00:01:03.188
I'm learning how to tie people.

00:01:03.188 --> 00:01:09.828
Yeah, that sounds bad, right, I mean, it depends what you're into but yeah it depends what you're into.

00:01:10.469 --> 00:01:20.626
No, literally, I was interested in learning how to tie in different ways, and so Marilyn and I ordered some rope to try and see if we could figure that out.

00:01:20.626 --> 00:01:25.025
And we tried YouTube to listen to this guy and he's kind of like a super nerd.

00:01:25.025 --> 00:01:25.525
I dig him.

00:01:25.525 --> 00:01:29.022
I dig him, so he's named his mannequin and all this stuff.

00:01:29.022 --> 00:01:37.665
But when he started his video I shit you not he said hello, hello, hello and welcome to rope tying secrets.

00:01:37.665 --> 00:01:39.769
I'm going to teach you how to tie up a person.

00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:42.441
Pretty funny, right.

00:01:42.441 --> 00:01:45.108
I was like yeah, this is not meant to be.

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:46.602
I think it was.

00:01:46.602 --> 00:01:47.465
I mean, if anything?

00:01:47.465 --> 00:01:49.170
I mean you say, how do I tie people up?

00:01:49.170 --> 00:01:56.528
I'm just thinking, all right, you got a box of 36 inch long industrial grade zip ties, a box of duct tape, but you should be good to go.

00:01:56.528 --> 00:01:58.361
We talking about the wrong thing here, like I don't know.

00:01:58.381 --> 00:01:59.548
It's a different type of tying.

00:01:59.548 --> 00:02:00.736
That's a different type of tying.

00:02:00.736 --> 00:02:02.582
I think there's actually a name for it.

00:02:02.582 --> 00:02:06.102
We try to keep the romance alive, not to get the creepy vibe out there.

00:02:06.102 --> 00:02:09.721
So I'll give in and just give you the juicy details Trying to keep the romance alive.

00:02:09.721 --> 00:02:10.783
They call it shabari.

00:02:10.783 --> 00:02:14.917
It's a nice feeling rope you can tie really nicely.

00:02:14.917 --> 00:02:17.084
So, hey, give it a shot.

00:02:17.084 --> 00:02:19.212
Something mixed up, a bit, right?

00:02:19.212 --> 00:02:21.683
But anyway this guy's saying that hello, hello, hello.

00:02:21.683 --> 00:02:22.385
I couldn't believe it.

00:02:23.752 --> 00:02:24.997
You know what I was going to say.

00:02:24.997 --> 00:02:26.382
Is he also Canadian?

00:02:26.382 --> 00:02:27.567
Can we just figure that out?

00:02:27.567 --> 00:02:28.692
Is he also Canadian?

00:02:29.414 --> 00:02:31.159
He is American, but we'd take him.

00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:32.741
We'd take him for sure.

00:02:32.741 --> 00:02:33.423
You know what?

00:02:33.423 --> 00:02:34.644
We'd take pretty much everyone.

00:02:34.644 --> 00:02:40.237
Though Long as you're nice, long as you'll hold the door open and thank someone for walking through, you're pretty much Canadian already.

00:02:40.885 --> 00:02:41.167
Alright.

00:02:41.167 --> 00:02:43.193
Well, I thought a flannel jacket was required as well.

00:02:44.265 --> 00:02:52.338
Yeah, flannel jacket around a fire with a full 5% beer tends to be a bit of a need here in Canada.

00:02:52.338 --> 00:02:53.280
I'll take it.

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.931
Listen, I'm done embarrassing myself on our podcast.

00:02:56.931 --> 00:02:59.397
We've got exciting stuff to get into this week.

00:02:59.397 --> 00:03:06.679
In fact, we're talking all about making the right connection, leveling up to premium service, which is a bit of a play on one of our clients.

00:03:06.679 --> 00:03:16.200
That's their business name and I wanted to share today some of their wins and really break that down this week because it's been massive so soon.

00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:19.316
Joe, I'm so pumped about this.

00:03:19.316 --> 00:03:30.899
I mean, we literally had a fire class this morning, pulled out, really extracted some of the biggest stuff that's been fueling their wins and their growth, and we're going to share that on the podcast this week.

00:03:30.899 --> 00:03:31.500
How does that sound?

00:03:32.145 --> 00:03:33.447
I can't think of anything better to do.

00:03:33.447 --> 00:03:43.278
I mean, at the end of the day, if people are able to learn the lessons, take the lessons and apply them and then see how those applied lessons were achieved as results, how can you say no?

00:03:43.979 --> 00:03:44.760
Yeah, it's true.

00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:50.377
This all begins, actually, with something else I wanted to talk about, which is the Four Forces.

00:03:50.377 --> 00:03:59.646
In this episode, I even named the Four Forces a bit at one point and I changed it at the end because this is about leveling up to premium service and what that means.

00:03:59.646 --> 00:04:04.777
Guys, we're going to share some of those secrets, of course, but the Four Forces are really at the root of all of our decisions.

00:04:05.766 --> 00:04:13.991
It's something that we're measuring when we're speaking to electricians like yourselves who want to grow, and what it does is just really it's able to.

00:04:13.991 --> 00:04:25.848
It's a way to isolate, really, what the pain points are and what the fears are, away from what the current wants are versus the future aspirations are, and we have those separated.

00:04:25.848 --> 00:04:43.379
It's almost like a little four quadrant map where we can see okay, here are the things that are holding us back from realizing everything we want today, and here are the things down below of the future, the fears that are holding us back from everything that we envision someday.

00:04:43.379 --> 00:04:48.497
Now let me ask you this have you ever heard of this before?

00:04:48.497 --> 00:04:50.435
We all have a vision.

00:04:50.435 --> 00:04:51.482
We all have this place.

00:04:51.482 --> 00:04:51.925
We're trying to go.

00:04:51.925 --> 00:05:00.925
We can all sort of see this future that we desire, but did you know that 95% of people don't put themselves in that vision?

00:05:00.925 --> 00:05:04.940
They can actually see the vision, but they can't see themselves in it.

00:05:04.940 --> 00:05:05.904
Have you heard that before?

00:05:06.485 --> 00:05:27.884
Yes, literally just today, I was reading a book called the Customer Service Manifesto, and one of the things that they were talking about was that people, specifically as they're trying to envision their next step, they often view that it is another person achieving those results, or it is a version of themselves that is so different from themselves that they can't identify as the same.

00:05:29.048 --> 00:05:30.531
And that's a fucking problem, man.

00:05:31.113 --> 00:05:31.334
Yeah.

00:05:32.045 --> 00:05:55.798
That's the and you guys don't have all the gravy here of this situation yet, but what we're going to throw at you today, what you're going to learn about this week, is literally going to make you feel like that's fucking crazy, Joe, If we cannot see ourselves in that place of actually being a premium service provider, if you can't see that and feel that and really truly act as if, then you can't have it.

00:05:57.329 --> 00:05:58.473
I like to go even further than that.

00:05:58.473 --> 00:06:04.925
Go ahead and say it's not that you just can't have it, it's that, even if you could, you won't feel you deserve it.

00:06:04.925 --> 00:06:07.577
Oh shit.

00:06:07.598 --> 00:06:08.925
That's the mic drop.

00:06:08.925 --> 00:06:10.918
Is the podcast done?

00:06:10.937 --> 00:06:11.904
No, there is a lot.

00:06:12.427 --> 00:06:13.490
Did you just drop it?

00:06:15.247 --> 00:06:23.059
Well, the thing is is like we all need to feel good in order to make decisions that put us in a better situation.

00:06:23.059 --> 00:06:29.865
Right, and if we're in that place where we can't see, the next step is a step that we would take.

00:06:29.865 --> 00:06:37.459
We'll start to identify that other companies are doing this, but they won't see it as our company is doing this.

00:06:37.459 --> 00:06:41.716
So if someone else is successful, it's because they're someone else.

00:06:41.716 --> 00:06:54.300
Instead, we want to focus on how can you yourself follow actionable steps to get exactly where you want to be and recognize that you're the same person at the end, just in a better situation?

00:06:54.922 --> 00:06:55.783
That's huge man, that's really huge.

00:06:55.783 --> 00:07:02.904
So if you've been with us for a while or maybe you're just starting now I want to engage you for a moment.

00:07:02.904 --> 00:07:04.925
If you're listening, you can do this by raising hand.

00:07:04.925 --> 00:07:09.704
If you're with us in the Electric Pinner Secrets Facebook group watching live, you could even throw a comment out.

00:07:09.704 --> 00:07:15.845
Right now I'm going to run through some of the pains that our clients were feeling ahead of the big wins that they are now feeling.

00:07:15.845 --> 00:07:17.925
Now we're going to go through that.

00:07:17.925 --> 00:07:23.048
So have you ever dealt with contractors and had cash flow problems?

00:07:23.048 --> 00:07:26.418
Oh, my gosh, right.

00:07:27.089 --> 00:07:34.581
We were literally just talking in the background and saying I remember there was a time when I got $14,000, $16,000 on a net 90.

00:07:34.581 --> 00:07:36.795
Yeah, contractors suck.

00:07:37.930 --> 00:07:39.394
And here's what that typically looks like.

00:07:39.394 --> 00:07:41.432
Right, we're reflecting on.

00:07:41.432 --> 00:07:45.557
A bank account Balance comes up because you got to draw or you got a payment.

00:07:45.557 --> 00:07:50.935
You're feeling like, oh sweet, maybe we will be profitable this month, maybe there will be some cash left over.

00:07:50.935 --> 00:07:55.959
But then you get the supply house bill and it's $22,382,.

00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.918
Right, they've got a 2% or a 3% incentive.

00:07:59.918 --> 00:08:04.100
So now you're dealing with this battle of do I pay it early or do I pay my staff?

00:08:04.100 --> 00:08:10.595
If you pay the supply house in full to get the 2% to 3%, which does add up at the end of the year, I can't blame you for that.

00:08:10.595 --> 00:08:26.579
Now we're trying to wait for, put more pressure on getting more AR accounts receivables, more payments in next week, because Friday's coming quick and payroll draws another $18,300 for the three or four guys you got working for you in the office staff.

00:08:27.730 --> 00:08:28.995
Anyone ever feel that before?

00:08:28.995 --> 00:08:34.437
Ouch, right, we can feel like we're sinking in this.

00:08:34.437 --> 00:08:40.821
I get that, and that's why this stuff's so important to share, because it's massive.

00:08:40.821 --> 00:09:00.155
Right, we can all feel this way and you could feel like what is premium service I don't know how to provide, I'm stuck in the $189 call, or even, maybe it's worse, maybe you're doing an $89 call out, as we see so often, and we're seeing some comments come in here I'd be rich if I just got paid.

00:09:00.155 --> 00:09:03.158
I've literally guys, I feel your pain.

00:09:03.158 --> 00:09:04.494
Joe feels your pain.

00:09:04.494 --> 00:09:05.216
We've been there.

00:09:05.216 --> 00:09:06.835
We've seen this over and over.

00:09:06.835 --> 00:09:10.955
I've been on calls with people here you may be listening right now.

00:09:10.955 --> 00:09:17.673
We've met at the end of the year and we've celebrated the 1.3 million they did that year, their biggest year ever.

00:09:17.673 --> 00:09:22.147
But they have zero profit to show for it because they're owed $300,000.

00:09:22.147 --> 00:09:27.379
Ouch, and then you're going to battle for that right?

00:09:29.130 --> 00:09:30.174
You're hiring collectors.

00:09:30.649 --> 00:09:31.614
You're putting liens on.

00:09:31.614 --> 00:09:32.155
Go ahead, Joe.

00:09:32.690 --> 00:09:42.679
Yeah, I didn't mean to interrupt, but I'm saying it's the craziest thing that why is it in our industry Do we have to nicely ask for what we've already earned?

00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:51.076
Like, if you think about it, you put in the time, you put in the hours, you've done the job and now all you want to do is get paid for it.

00:09:51.076 --> 00:10:01.778
But now they have to figure out ways to politely ask for it, because, god forbid, you upset that contractor and he decides to cut you off of the knees because that's who you use for future work.

00:10:01.778 --> 00:10:07.400
That's why we push so hard for residential service, because these problems start disappearing.

00:10:08.110 --> 00:10:09.636
Yeah, 100%.

00:10:09.636 --> 00:10:21.275
You ever been working so hard for that contractor in good faith, that everything says you envisioned it, that everything says you discussed it, maybe verbally and you're working so hard that you're even forgetting to invoice.

00:10:21.275 --> 00:10:28.216
And by time you do invoice it's still another 30, 60, 90 days out before they actually freaking pay you, if they do ever.

00:10:29.212 --> 00:10:36.809
I remember something you told me that really stood out was every time you were handling a project and they wanted to change order because they wanted to keep things just moving.

00:10:36.809 --> 00:10:38.977
You're like, sure, no problem, just send me an email and we'll go through it.

00:10:38.977 --> 00:10:43.498
I'm going to send you an email, just sign off on it, and then it's like, oh, hold on, maybe we don't need to do that.

00:10:43.498 --> 00:10:49.972
So you're right, there's so much that goes attached to how do we just get paid what we're already?

00:10:50.173 --> 00:10:50.354
owed.

00:10:50.354 --> 00:10:53.769
Well, I've got some good news for you guys.

00:10:53.769 --> 00:11:03.299
There's a great little niche over here in premium service, premium Residential service, that you likely haven't fully tapped into yet.

00:11:03.299 --> 00:11:16.179
And if you haven't, then you're in the right place, because here's what it did for our clients at the right connection Averaging just over 30k months after just a month with us I want to say one month.

00:11:16.179 --> 00:11:18.284
So we're we're going into week six.

00:11:18.284 --> 00:11:26.059
It's looking like they're doubling the revenue on the first month Sorry, second month, let me get that straight.

00:11:26.059 --> 00:11:32.605
So this October, looking at how it is after the big week They've just had, looking like they'll be north of 70k.

00:11:32.605 --> 00:11:37.173
And that's without even completing all of those opportunities yet mm-hmm.

00:11:38.081 --> 00:11:42.818
The only reason this can happen is actually by a massive belief shift.

00:11:42.818 --> 00:11:46.610
Joe, correct, that's what's so incredible and what we have to share here today.

00:11:46.610 --> 00:12:06.091
So we actually asked them what were the top three things that they did or that they could reflect on from our program in such a short time to have that level of a win, to look at doubling the revenue for a month already.

00:12:06.091 --> 00:12:12.027
And here's what they said top three things you ready, I'm ready, hit me.

00:12:12.027 --> 00:12:12.788
Okay.

00:12:12.788 --> 00:12:18.761
Number one a premium service mindset, a mindset.

00:12:20.402 --> 00:12:28.899
Some of the feedback I get from us in this podcast, joe, is people say on the calls you know, I listen to the other guys, I listen to this, that and the other, I listen to waste no days.

00:12:28.899 --> 00:12:32.226
I listen to the big guys and there's lots of tactical solutions.

00:12:32.226 --> 00:12:34.832
You guys kind of go into some different stuff.

00:12:34.832 --> 00:12:37.429
You guys go into a little bit deeper.

00:12:37.429 --> 00:12:42.352
You guys are really into the psychology of things a little bit more than just the how-to.

00:12:42.352 --> 00:12:44.044
I love that.

00:12:44.044 --> 00:12:48.674
What happens in our program on the inside track is when people dive straight in.

00:12:48.674 --> 00:12:55.500
You've got this podcast, but also the class that proceeds it every day, five days a week, but also the chat support.

00:12:55.500 --> 00:13:00.279
Also our accountability coach, raina, helping with everyone in their client success.

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:08.698
So the interactions are numerous every day of the week and what happens is you end up with a psychological shift.

00:13:08.698 --> 00:13:15.493
You start to think like a premium service provider and in this case it didn't take long.

00:13:15.493 --> 00:13:16.884
Please jump in, brother.

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:18.261
I was going to say.

00:13:18.261 --> 00:13:31.272
You know, one of the other benefits of the belief shift is also how we actually follow through with our process, like remember how I've mentioned that this is now the way that I speak, because this is how I've trained myself to do so.

00:13:31.272 --> 00:13:38.852
Imagine if how you talk to customers wasn't an act and you talk to them no different than you talk to everyone else.

00:13:38.852 --> 00:13:41.826
Wouldn't that shift your belief as well?

00:13:41.826 --> 00:13:53.663
To simply say I'm not following a script, this is just how I communicate with people, and now you're able to do so from an authentic place and, as a result, that authenticity is what sells it 100%.

00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.649
So the full immersion led to a psychological shift.

00:13:57.649 --> 00:14:00.488
In other words, have you ever had an aha moment, Joe?

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.322
Mm-hmm.

00:14:02.539 --> 00:14:04.284
Typically those aha moments.

00:14:04.284 --> 00:14:07.745
I've always experienced them as this you tell me if it's different for you.

00:14:07.745 --> 00:14:11.586
I've always got this complex aha followed by a.

00:14:11.586 --> 00:14:14.831
You know I could have figured that out if I'd sat with this long enough.

00:14:14.831 --> 00:14:17.864
It's actually not rocket science, is it?

00:14:19.908 --> 00:14:20.429
Often not.

00:14:20.610 --> 00:14:21.011
Simple.

00:14:21.011 --> 00:14:23.307
It's simple, but it's still an aha.

00:14:23.307 --> 00:14:28.591
So they had an aha moment and what it led to was seeing things they couldn't unsee.

00:14:28.591 --> 00:14:30.965
And that leads perfectly to number two.

00:14:30.965 --> 00:14:38.609
Number two was now that we feel and share the same beliefs as a premium service provider.

00:14:38.609 --> 00:14:40.993
We had a harsh realization.

00:14:42.094 --> 00:14:43.000
Mm-hmm, you know what?

00:14:43.020 --> 00:14:44.044
that realization was Joe.

00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.707
We weren't actually acting on the things that we believed in.

00:14:49.019 --> 00:14:56.613
Now that you've leveled up that premium service beliefs, you're realizing, wow, we actually are under serving people.

00:14:57.274 --> 00:14:57.615
Mm-hmm.

00:14:57.799 --> 00:14:58.361
Before we were.

00:14:58.361 --> 00:15:00.027
Let's change that.

00:15:00.027 --> 00:15:07.953
And so by truly believing this, every time you're going to a job now, you're realizing I can't keep doing things the way I was.

00:15:07.953 --> 00:15:13.785
That's no longer aligned with my values, with my beliefs, because my beliefs have shifted.

00:15:13.785 --> 00:15:17.589
If you truly believe something, then that's conviction, right.

00:15:18.899 --> 00:15:28.947
Conviction is one of the best things you can possibly have, because it's an intangible that every customer you meet will see, because it's almost something you can see in someone's eyes and hear in their voice.

00:15:28.947 --> 00:15:44.192
Where, imagine, I'm sitting across the table or not across, I'm sitting next to you, got to follow the play and then say we're sitting shoulder to shoulder and you give me what's known as an objection and it doesn't even phase us because we're realizing who else are you going to go to.

00:15:44.192 --> 00:15:50.772
We truly value you and your family and your situation and we're going to stick it out until you physically kick us out.

00:15:50.772 --> 00:15:53.085
That's how much we care about this.

00:15:53.085 --> 00:15:54.421
I would say.

00:15:54.421 --> 00:15:56.749
Just the conviction alone would be like you know what?

00:15:56.749 --> 00:15:58.725
This is the kind of guy I want in my corner.

00:15:58.725 --> 00:16:02.649
All right, let's talk about it 100% man.

00:16:02.729 --> 00:16:04.003
I love that Great share.

00:16:04.003 --> 00:16:09.429
So this second level is just realizing that hey, if we believe in this, we've got to take action on this.

00:16:09.429 --> 00:16:13.629
Beliefs, then actions.

00:16:13.629 --> 00:16:16.668
Keep in mind, they've just touched the process.

00:16:16.668 --> 00:16:17.890
This is so new.

00:16:17.890 --> 00:16:30.043
It's so exciting for us to see people at this level just shaping what they will be and already breaking close to, like that $80,000 month mark, which is remarkable.

00:16:30.043 --> 00:16:37.679
They came here feeling like you know, if we could hit 50s pretty soon, that would be nice, remarkable, joe.

00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:42.066
So number three here it is we believe, we act.

00:16:42.066 --> 00:16:43.470
And guess what?

00:16:43.470 --> 00:16:46.902
That confidence comes full circle, they said.

00:16:46.902 --> 00:16:50.000
Number three was how did we believe and act that way?

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.666
It only made sense to market that way.

00:16:51.666 --> 00:17:03.745
It changed how they're marketing, joe, because now their belief has impacted their actions, which have impacted their confidence, which have impacted their intentions.

00:17:03.745 --> 00:17:09.809
Would you market yourself the same if you truly believe that you were number one in your area for service?

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:14.971
If I truly believe that was number one, in that I was offering something distinctly different.

00:17:14.971 --> 00:17:29.125
I would almost be shouting it from the rooftops with a mission, because it's like if I really believed that I was the best person and that anyone else wasn't going to serve you to the same extent, I wouldn't take the first no as a no.

00:17:29.125 --> 00:17:35.151
It'd be like I want to serve and maybe I haven't communicated enough why you don't want to work with me yet.

00:17:35.151 --> 00:17:37.365
Let's figure this out, let's really go into it.

00:17:37.365 --> 00:17:44.252
Maybe I haven't explained because if I believe it, I'm going to communicate as if and my confidence is going to show through.

00:17:44.252 --> 00:17:49.029
And once again, confidence and authenticity often alone can sell a project.

00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:51.343
It's massive.

00:17:51.343 --> 00:17:53.905
So this thing came full circle.

00:17:53.905 --> 00:17:56.266
Those were the top three things.

00:17:56.266 --> 00:17:57.743
I'll iterate it again.

00:17:58.299 --> 00:18:04.587
The belief shift, just the full immersion being able to jump in a class every morning, follow the podcast every day.

00:18:04.587 --> 00:18:05.606
They're with us right now.

00:18:05.606 --> 00:18:07.192
That's so exciting.

00:18:07.192 --> 00:18:08.256
I'm so proud of you guys.

00:18:08.256 --> 00:18:09.799
Keep going.

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:14.378
We're not done Having that full immersion with the accountability.

00:18:14.378 --> 00:18:27.193
The chats change their beliefs, which led to new actions in the field, recognizing new options, providing it a higher level service at a higher level, which then led to marketing to follow.

00:18:27.193 --> 00:18:48.759
And now things are blowing up and now they're actually seeing like that four forces we mentioned, the quadrant walls, are breaking down and you're starting to see how moving from pains to your immediate wants, which are all being checked off swiftly, is now going to start adding up to the big goals, those desires for the future and that vision for the future.

00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.897
I just can't say it enough of how excited we are for them.

00:18:51.897 --> 00:18:53.582
And guess what?

00:18:53.582 --> 00:18:57.930
This week we're going to be giving away those secrets in detail.

00:18:57.930 --> 00:19:01.843
So you guys are going to want to stick around and hear all of this.

00:19:01.843 --> 00:19:03.910
It's going to be incredible, joe.

00:19:03.910 --> 00:19:06.759
Anything to add to that before we get to some action items.

00:19:07.211 --> 00:19:08.843
Man, I'm just ready to dig in.

00:19:08.843 --> 00:19:20.645
But if I can just add in, you know, mandy and Eric, we have so much love for you and we're so proud of the things that you're doing, because it's one thing to teach it, it's another thing to say.

00:19:20.645 --> 00:19:30.836
You know what, you exemplify it, and I couldn't have been prouder to know that we have students that can follow these values to such an extent 100% Beautiful thing, brother.

00:19:31.498 --> 00:19:32.422
Action items.

00:19:32.422 --> 00:19:34.950
What do you think you want, the base action or the all star?

00:19:36.333 --> 00:19:39.318
I actually want the all star today because I have something specific in mind.

00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.505
Okay, base action.

00:19:42.505 --> 00:19:44.403
We've said this many times before.

00:19:44.403 --> 00:19:48.762
I'm going to say it again Take everything we give, just promise to take action.

00:19:48.762 --> 00:19:52.769
Sometimes taking action looks different to different people at different times.

00:19:52.769 --> 00:20:08.910
If, today, taking action means actually taking a step towards Eric and Mandy's big success, if you want to double your revenue a month from now, if you want that level of success, you're going to have to take action.

00:20:10.073 --> 00:20:24.098
So, whatever it is that's holding you back, whatever it is that's in the way, if you've had one call with us and haven't had the second call, know that you want to work with us and haven't made the decision, then that's the action, it's the obvious next step.

00:20:24.098 --> 00:20:31.736
If you're working with someone else, even right now, and you haven't taken the next step, this is your call to action.

00:20:31.736 --> 00:20:33.602
Just take that next step.

00:20:33.602 --> 00:20:40.940
We don't always need to know for sure what's at the top of the stairs, we just need to take the next step.

00:20:40.940 --> 00:20:47.950
So, whatever it is that's in the way, intuitively, if you've got no one behind you supporting you with this, what is your next step?

00:20:47.950 --> 00:20:49.950
What are you going to do about it?

00:20:49.950 --> 00:20:54.930
If it's just getting this belief shift, then go back and listen to some more episodes today.

00:20:54.930 --> 00:20:56.535
Don't end it right here.

00:20:56.535 --> 00:20:58.701
Get motivated and take action.

00:20:58.701 --> 00:21:02.950
That lines up perfectly with what I was going to say.

00:21:03.855 --> 00:21:06.950
So there was a speaker I remember listening to years and years and years ago.

00:21:06.950 --> 00:21:13.950
His name was Noah Benchia and he had made a statement called Put your faith in front of your fears.

00:21:13.950 --> 00:21:23.930
And I feel like that is actually a precursor, but a larger action, to what you already said, because your first thought was take action on it.

00:21:23.930 --> 00:21:32.521
But for some people who are listening to this, that taking of action is an insurmountable fear that they have a hard time clearing.

00:21:32.521 --> 00:21:37.801
So my all star action is the gap that leads you to taking that action.

00:21:39.073 --> 00:21:52.258
So what it means to put your faith in front of your fears, it's not like taking a spiritual stance, but it's saying do I believe that what I'm doing will produce results if I take one step forward with it?

00:21:53.431 --> 00:22:04.663
Do you believe that by me taking steps I will eventually achieve something, or are you equally blinded by my fear of what will happen if I do nothing?

00:22:04.663 --> 00:22:13.421
So the concept is that if you had a team of horses, the lead horse can influence all the other ones behind them.

00:22:13.421 --> 00:22:25.431
So if you put the strong horse up front, the other horses, even if they are in a position of fear, will still move forward based on the forwarding actions of the lead horse.

00:22:25.431 --> 00:22:43.972
So my concept is put your faith, put your belief that this is something that you can do, forward, facing in front of all that you are, and what you'll find is that your faith in yourself, by definition, will overcome your fear of yourself.

00:22:43.972 --> 00:22:55.829
So, if you're not sure that you can take the action step, the first step would then be can you believe that if you did that, you would have achieved a result?

00:22:55.829 --> 00:23:01.289
And then, if you believe that, what's stopping you from taking one step forward?

00:23:03.641 --> 00:23:08.471
Really powerful stuff, joe, really powerful stuff, especially the end part.

00:23:08.471 --> 00:23:17.906
It was all great, but I want to highlight this again what is stopping you, literally what is stopping you guys?

00:23:17.906 --> 00:23:18.749
Reflect on that.

00:23:18.749 --> 00:23:20.125
Enjoy the rest of your Monday.

00:23:20.125 --> 00:23:21.068
I know we're going to.

00:23:21.068 --> 00:23:23.900
I'm just about 16 ounces of coffee in, joe.

00:23:23.900 --> 00:23:25.386
I've got energy to boot.

00:23:25.386 --> 00:23:27.094
Let's take this day on.

00:23:27.094 --> 00:23:29.762
I know for you it's the afternoon, I'm still pre-noon, brother.

00:23:29.762 --> 00:23:59.132
I can't wait to come back tomorrow and discuss some more around, even what you just said, what's in the way and how to get the fuck out of the way so you can start winning, doubling up your revenue, leveling up to premium service, just like the right connection crew Guys, thank you for joining us on episode 178 of Electricpreneur Secrets, the Electricians podcast, where we keep showing up five days a week to help you master sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium fucking electrical service.

00:23:59.132 --> 00:24:02.404
I threw an F-bomb in there for the first time you threw off my cadence.

00:24:03.086 --> 00:24:03.749
I love it.

00:24:04.661 --> 00:24:06.223
We got some fired up people today.

00:24:06.223 --> 00:24:08.009
Have a great afternoon, folks.

00:24:08.009 --> 00:24:08.589
See you tomorrow.

00:24:08.589 --> 00:24:09.766
Y'all take care.
