00:00:01.423 --> 00:00:09.425
Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to yet another live episode of Electricpreneur Secrets, the Electrician's Podcast.

00:00:09.425 --> 00:00:23.471
I'm Clay Neumeier, With me, as always, my esteemed co-host, joseph Lucani, and we are the Electricpreneurs just a couple of master electricians with business addictions, here and ready to serve, serve, who Serve you.

00:00:23.471 --> 00:00:39.908
If you're an electrician, if you're an electricpreneur, if you're looking to master your sales, simplify your pricing and deliver premium level electrical service, then you are in the right place, my friend, and we are absolutely ready to crush another episode, this time talking about a bit of a hot topic.

00:00:39.908 --> 00:00:50.485
Really, the only time you should ever ask for business help is if you have absolute clarity on the path forward Before we get right into it.

00:00:50.485 --> 00:00:52.491
Joe, how are you doing today, brother?

00:00:53.320 --> 00:01:00.927
Man, I'm feeling really really, really good and I love when we do these live because we get to really just communicate the current, present feelings that we have.

00:01:00.927 --> 00:01:03.360
We had an awesome class this morning.

00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:05.286
It was like a really good heartfelt moment.

00:01:05.286 --> 00:01:08.233
It really kind of bonded with our clients and it left me feeling really good.

00:01:08.233 --> 00:01:20.510
And then we had another session with one of our platinum clients who, man, it's really great when you see the gears just shift and people get it and they understand and suddenly it's like, okay, now I'm ready to take the next level.

00:01:20.510 --> 00:01:22.481
So it made me feel really good.

00:01:22.481 --> 00:01:26.989
I'm feeling inspired and I can't wait yeah it's an aha moment.

00:01:27.709 --> 00:01:38.269
You ever learned something and you realize, like gosh, if I had spent enough time just thinking about this, if I just slowed down and thought about this a while, I could have figured that out I have a story about that.

00:01:38.831 --> 00:01:42.224
If you give me 15 seconds, I'll tell you the exact situation okay.

00:01:42.243 --> 00:01:47.468
well, here's what I want to ask before you tell the story, If you're watching us live, if you're engaging with us or not engaging.

00:01:47.468 --> 00:01:52.349
Yet go ahead and engage with us, Tell us, have you had help in your business before?

00:01:52.349 --> 00:01:55.944
It is a big burner of a question I have we have.

00:01:55.944 --> 00:01:56.888
We've done this.

00:01:56.888 --> 00:01:58.846
We've helped many in their businesses.

00:01:58.846 --> 00:02:00.266
Let's just talk about it for a minute.

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:09.215
Go ahead, joe, share your story.

00:02:09.215 --> 00:02:09.420
Yeah, no.

00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:11.239
So it's one of those situations where you're like when is the right time to ask for help?

00:02:11.239 --> 00:02:13.442
One of these moments where it's like if only I had taken a little more time to be educated, I could have saved so much time.

00:02:13.442 --> 00:02:19.550
Me and my former partner, we were putting together a dryer and we're working on it, we're helping him install in his home and it's we're doing.

00:02:19.550 --> 00:02:20.211
It's late.

00:02:20.211 --> 00:02:21.632
It is like late, late.

00:02:21.632 --> 00:02:28.295
We took way longer than we thought it was going to, because we're actually ducting it out and it's somewhere around two, three in the morning.

00:02:28.376 --> 00:02:33.018
If this shows how crazy we were and we're like I don't know how we're going to get this pipe connected.

00:02:33.018 --> 00:02:42.752
It's just it's here and we're going to have to route it over and literally we went behind it and we touched it and it twisted and we're like, wait a second, this pipe flexed the whole time.

00:02:42.752 --> 00:02:45.175
We could have just flexed it and routed it out.

00:02:45.175 --> 00:02:51.462
We didn't have to redo the whole thing and it was just looking at each other like, yep, we should have done a little more research on this ahead of time.

00:02:51.462 --> 00:03:01.013
So yeah, I wanted to just say, if you have a thing that you want to know more about and you're wondering whether you need to ask for help.

00:03:01.013 --> 00:03:04.186
I'm sitting here like, yeah, it doesn't have to be just with electric.

00:03:04.186 --> 00:03:07.753
You can ask for help with anything and I guarantee it makes your life better.

00:03:07.753 --> 00:03:11.830
No reason to go things alone anymore 100%, man, 100%.

00:03:12.241 --> 00:03:20.349
Here's why this episode is so important, I think, because I see people, and when I see this, like in my own household, even it alarms me.

00:03:20.349 --> 00:03:45.312
We see people in our family and friends networks or online and in our different places for electricians right we see people kind of taking from all these places or people actually pressuring with their guidance that isn't necessarily attached to a proven process or something that's effectively implemented in the sense of like here's a process.

00:03:45.312 --> 00:03:55.924
If we follow this from a to b, here's the expected result and that really follows the scientific method closely, but here's something that would throw science every time.

00:03:55.924 --> 00:04:07.643
Okay, here are a bunch of external variables, a bunch of different people all contributing to the experiment, bringing everything together to this modge podge of like.

00:04:07.643 --> 00:04:31.120
You know, it's great in art to see this on the page, but in implementation and business it's not a good idea, because what we end up is with no idea what expected result we'll have, and then the measurement of said result is absolutely useless, and so all the time and energy that goes into things like that, completely defeated, we don't know what to work on next.

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:37.774
As Michael Michalowicz pointed out in his book Fix this Next so important to stay calibrated and in a direction.

00:04:37.774 --> 00:04:46.461
So can I share quick a situation that I had this morning excuse me that I had this morning that literally became a catalyst for this.

00:04:46.461 --> 00:04:48.829
Yeah, I'd love to hear, bro, what'd you got?

00:04:48.870 --> 00:04:55.908
As you know, and as many of you know, watching this with us listening after the fact, we subscribe to coaching.

00:04:55.908 --> 00:05:20.362
Here is the reason why and the only times we do I can see someone demonstrating something that I or we ourselves want to achieve, and I don't want to invest the time to have to learn it myself, all the while wondering if I'm meeting the expected results or if I'm missing something.

00:05:20.362 --> 00:05:24.629
That is so painful.

00:05:24.629 --> 00:05:28.434
And so there's some fresh stuff coming up for us.

00:05:28.434 --> 00:05:36.704
There's some things in our next levels of business that I'm like, hey, I've been watching for this, austin's been watching this, you've been watching for this.

00:05:36.704 --> 00:05:47.380
Our whole team's got their eyes peeled for these certain next qualities that we're looking to fulfill, and we found some of those qualities to an extent in the last 24 hours.

00:05:47.380 --> 00:05:55.065
I haven't even had time to fill joe in about this fully, guys, so he's all right like wondering literally coming at me live talk about it.

00:05:56.569 --> 00:06:00.637
So I found this, this guy, this group and the.

00:06:00.637 --> 00:06:02.682
The evidence was overwhelming.

00:06:02.682 --> 00:06:08.166
He's scrolling testimony after this works at all these different levels and he said something magic.

00:06:08.166 --> 00:06:14.273
He said here's someone that followed this process and they made $1.3 million in a month.

00:06:14.273 --> 00:06:22.009
Then he said the magic words this was a cherry-picked testimony.

00:06:22.009 --> 00:06:26.711
Don't even apply if you think you're gonna hit 1.3 million a month.

00:06:26.711 --> 00:06:29.545
This is one of the best.

00:06:29.545 --> 00:06:30.406
Is it possible?

00:06:30.406 --> 00:06:31.487
Yes, proven.

00:06:31.487 --> 00:06:33.110
But does it mean you'll hit it?

00:06:33.110 --> 00:06:34.793
No, not at all.

00:06:34.793 --> 00:06:48.807
But here's a bunch of other testimonies from the best of the best to to just like we made it, and that, to me, is the real proof, someone that can be real and told tell you to hold on a minute, just like our own sales process.

00:06:48.807 --> 00:06:52.500
I'm rambling, it's probably too much of a monologue.

00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:54.886
Anyway, the guys stood me up, joe here.

00:06:54.886 --> 00:06:55.867
Here's what they actually did.

00:06:55.867 --> 00:06:56.189
They go.

00:06:56.189 --> 00:06:57.959
I got an email this morning.

00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.644
I was expecting to jump on the call and it was a cancellation.

00:07:00.644 --> 00:07:03.906
And he said oh, you work with electricians, we don't service that market.

00:07:05.249 --> 00:07:14.399
Big surprise right like it's insane, what yeah hey, you know, could I just say that was actually.

00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:21.915
I'm glad you took it that way, because it's actually the biggest fluke on the planet that that happened, because they absolutely service our market.

00:07:21.915 --> 00:07:25.548
They didn't understand our market, though they didn't understand what we're doing.

00:07:25.548 --> 00:07:26.490
So go ahead, brother.

00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:32.800
Yeah, no, it's one of those things where I get very animated when people say we don't work with electricians.

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:49.940
Because for someone who spent so many years trying to learn specifically the electrical processes and how to develop them and really implementing them from everyone I've learned from it's hard.

00:07:49.940 --> 00:07:53.300
And then when you're finding someone who says I don't work with your type of people or I don't work with your industry, it's like well, where are we supposed to go?

00:07:53.300 --> 00:08:00.052
That's why I love being here and working with you, because if nothing else we like, at least we do.

00:08:00.052 --> 00:08:04.331
We want to work with electricians, we're for electricians and by electricians.

00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:15.029
So if someone's going to stand you up because of what we do not about it and and I'm always looking for when I'm looking at different consultants, coaches, people that take us to the next level.

00:08:15.029 --> 00:08:23.985
I want people who are congruent with what we do, with what alex hermosi does with this, this way to market yourself, right?

00:08:23.985 --> 00:08:28.060
We called the podcast Electric Printer Secrets because we want to give all the secrets away.

00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:30.709
I want you guys to be informed.

00:08:30.709 --> 00:08:44.908
I want you to know us and know how we have our hearts on our sleeves and we get a little passionate and worked up and monologue sometimes, because I don't want anyone to ever come and ask us for help, not knowing that we're a fit to work together.

00:08:44.908 --> 00:08:47.525
Right, if you win, we win.

00:08:47.525 --> 00:09:03.193
That's the way this works, and so I can appreciate that in other service providers who help in this highly competitive right, highly overrated industry of coaching and mentoring people to their better place.

00:09:04.541 --> 00:09:06.467
Here's why I say those those words too.

00:09:06.467 --> 00:09:17.139
I think it's really important to point out that we're human, and just because we jump on this podcast, on the screen and share some shit we learned doesn't mean we are not human.

00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:38.676
We are human and, just like you guys, sometimes the hardest thing in the day is just the a to b, just that consistent little activity I just got to take this step and some days it's so fucking hard joe if I can just say it's so fucking hard that the next step is small, it's like, okay, what I need to do is just lift a weight right now.

00:09:38.676 --> 00:09:42.743
What I need to do is just clean up my desk right now.

00:09:42.743 --> 00:09:49.850
It's so small because you need a little wind just to get through this little barrier that you're feeling.

00:09:49.850 --> 00:09:51.196
Have you ever felt that, brother?

00:09:51.998 --> 00:09:54.424
so much so that I love lists.

00:09:54.424 --> 00:09:56.750
Lists areists, are my things right.

00:09:56.750 --> 00:10:08.067
But there's an actual function of Google Note where what it does is, rather than checking a box and it gets removed, you check a box and it strikes it out so you can see it checked off the list.

00:10:08.067 --> 00:10:09.639
So the benefit is for me.

00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.285
I'm like, oh, all right, I look at the end of the day.

00:10:12.285 --> 00:10:15.198
I'm like, okay, great, look at all the things I checked off my list.

00:10:15.198 --> 00:10:19.605
Even if they're small, I checked off all of this off my list.

00:10:19.605 --> 00:10:27.235
Great, now I can tackle the big thing because I've got this momentum going momentum yeah I'm right there with you snowball effect.

00:10:27.335 --> 00:10:30.524
Right, they talk about this in debts too, and I always forget the guy's name.

00:10:30.524 --> 00:10:31.164
Is it ramsey?

00:10:31.164 --> 00:10:34.760
Someone's going to help me in the chats and thank you guys for all the comments today.

00:10:34.760 --> 00:10:37.184
Absolutely, we're here with you live right now.

00:10:37.184 --> 00:10:39.369
I'm sure it's Ramsey.

00:10:39.369 --> 00:10:40.419
Anyway, he talks about this.

00:10:40.835 --> 00:10:43.144
You don't start with the interest rate.

00:10:43.144 --> 00:10:47.506
You start with the smallest debt because of what it makes of you to pay it off.

00:10:47.506 --> 00:10:53.044
If you're in debt, you might want to re-listen to that.

00:10:53.044 --> 00:10:54.240
Really think through that.

00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:03.840
If you're looking at your to-do list, as Joe just mentioned, you might want to visit it in that way.

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:08.229
What's my biggest priority that can get done today, that I can do right now, that I can delegate right now?

00:11:08.229 --> 00:11:12.144
All right, we're getting off topic a little bit Ramsey, thank you guys.

00:11:12.144 --> 00:11:18.144
Guys, if you're not engaging with us live in the Facebook group, you're missing out, because these guys rock.

00:11:18.144 --> 00:11:19.600
We have a ton of fun in that group.

00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.923
Joe's been sparking some great conversations.

00:11:21.923 --> 00:11:23.682
I see some fresh interviews coming.

00:11:23.682 --> 00:11:24.860
We were just talking about that.

00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:31.966
I'm excited for this stuff and not to mention quick timeout for a little bit of a service announcement.

00:11:32.695 --> 00:11:49.192
We just did a massive recording on what we call advanced options deep dive yesterday and options review, and what we released today in our action post to help you with building your options is a literal 10 minute video from that little excerpt where Joe's deep diving.

00:11:49.192 --> 00:11:53.724
The wizard of options himself that's Joe's new name.

00:11:53.724 --> 00:11:54.525
Do you guys like that?

00:11:54.525 --> 00:11:55.467
The wizard of options?

00:11:55.467 --> 00:12:04.244
The wizard of options himself going through observations all the way down to the most basic option that was provided by a client who actually sold gold.

00:12:04.244 --> 00:12:06.755
There's no branding on it, none of that.

00:12:06.755 --> 00:12:10.966
Just straight to the facts how to set that up and how to win at a greater level.

00:12:10.966 --> 00:12:12.837
So really helpful there, guys.

00:12:12.837 --> 00:12:14.782
So go ahead, join us in the group.

00:12:14.782 --> 00:12:15.945
Go ahead and grab that.

00:12:15.945 --> 00:12:19.380
If you're not on Facebook, go to the website servicelooplelectricalcom.

00:12:19.380 --> 00:12:21.080
You can reach us there as well.

00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:22.664
Oh my gosh.

00:12:22.664 --> 00:12:25.462
So I got stood up this morning, joe.

00:12:25.462 --> 00:12:27.741
Yeah, that's pretty wild that that happened.

00:12:28.674 --> 00:12:30.722
Here's the kind of assertive person I am.

00:12:30.722 --> 00:12:31.799
I've told you guys about this.

00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:36.802
When someone presents options to me, if it's not done right, I can be assertive and throw people off their game.

00:12:36.802 --> 00:12:45.856
I emailed the guy back and I said respectfully, because I saw this on talladega nights.

00:12:45.856 --> 00:12:46.880
I think will ferrell.

00:12:46.880 --> 00:12:54.638
He says respectfully and then he called his boss a cocksucker excuse my french and the guy's like you can't say that I'm your boss and he goes.

00:12:54.658 --> 00:12:59.442
Well, I said respectfully, anyway, respectfully, I think you're making a mistake.

00:12:59.442 --> 00:13:04.206
I know what we were looking for and you demonstrate those qualities.

00:13:04.206 --> 00:13:20.715
You've shown clearly that you have results in this field and we want to do the things that you guys do guys do.

00:13:20.715 --> 00:13:22.198
And he emailed me back again and he was like I just need to be clear here.

00:13:22.198 --> 00:13:22.820
Are you sure you're x, y and z?

00:13:22.820 --> 00:13:27.778
Because if so, I'd be happy to book a call with you later, to which I replied big ending to this story.

00:13:27.778 --> 00:13:30.884
You burned my only slot on my calendar, you jerks.

00:13:30.884 --> 00:13:33.048
We're looking next week.

00:13:33.048 --> 00:13:33.375
Now.

00:13:33.375 --> 00:13:36.302
That's my rant, joe.

00:13:36.302 --> 00:13:37.264
That's the story of the day.

00:13:38.024 --> 00:13:38.807
It feels good, though.

00:13:38.807 --> 00:13:39.568
You know what I mean.

00:13:39.568 --> 00:13:44.447
I've had rants where I'm complaining about my flooring and flooring contractors before, so you know what.

00:13:44.447 --> 00:13:47.644
You get a little light to complain about people who burn your schedule.

00:13:47.644 --> 00:13:48.846
We get these moments.

00:13:48.846 --> 00:13:50.561
It's the benefit of running a podcast, right?

00:13:51.043 --> 00:13:53.198
Yeah, man, I've been spilling a lot of my beans.

00:13:53.198 --> 00:13:54.302
I've been spilling a lot of my beans.

00:13:54.302 --> 00:14:01.035
Tell me, in your electrical business, when you were growing, how did you guys know it was time?

00:14:01.056 --> 00:14:01.998
to hire your first coach.

00:14:01.998 --> 00:14:09.708
So, realistically, we know that we want to learn, but we realized that there was a cap to what we already knew.

00:14:09.708 --> 00:14:19.364
I remember in year one I had a background from the previous company I had worked in.

00:14:19.364 --> 00:14:21.434
They had taught me about selling generators and they had taught me about like operating these things.

00:14:21.434 --> 00:14:33.903
But I only had gotten $90,000 in my first year Like, not salary, I'm saying total company revenue was like $90,000 and I was paying myself $300 a month.

00:14:33.962 --> 00:14:46.774
It was a miserable existence and I realized it was like okay, I probably could do this for the next five years and get to a place where all the processes will be organized and everything will be set up and we'll just figure it out.

00:14:46.774 --> 00:14:54.589
I was like or I could take the bullet and bite it and figure out how I can get this done faster.

00:14:54.589 --> 00:15:01.023
And if I don't have more time, I need to learn in more, I need to learn from other people's experiences.

00:15:01.023 --> 00:15:03.321
And that was our decision.

00:15:03.321 --> 00:15:08.205
It was like, okay, we're gonna look and find people who can teach us something that we can learn from.

00:15:08.205 --> 00:15:12.243
And we found our coaches and we've worked with many over the years.

00:15:12.243 --> 00:15:32.417
But the benefit was is you just have to realize that you have a deficit in knowledge and you can say to yourself, well, I could either take the time and develop it myself and learn everything and learn it from scratch, I was like, or I can find models that people have already done successfully and I could just jump the step.

00:15:33.857 --> 00:15:44.673
So why wouldn't people want to do the and I think the only answer to that is full circle back is why we did it this way.

00:15:44.673 --> 00:15:55.067
Give the information away, show the character, be present for the community and those who want and like and know and trust.

00:15:55.067 --> 00:16:01.895
You will align, and that's where the best symbiotic wins come from.

00:16:01.895 --> 00:16:08.346
Anyways, that's what we're looking for in a coach and it's what we hope you would look for in a coach.

00:16:08.346 --> 00:16:18.585
So the fact that you get to listen, the fact that in fact let me put it this way the fact that I know every day people will listen to our podcast and go nah, not for me.

00:16:18.585 --> 00:16:23.934
I'm like yes, yes, that means it works.

00:16:25.278 --> 00:16:29.769
It's good that people disqualify themselves, and this is important for you as well.

00:16:29.769 --> 00:16:32.464
You wouldn't want to learn from someone you don't like.

00:16:32.464 --> 00:16:37.542
You wouldn't want to spend an inordinate amount of time with someone you didn't like.

00:16:37.542 --> 00:16:41.270
Results are no results, and I've heard that from other people.

00:16:41.270 --> 00:16:49.865
With other coaches, I personally have had the good fortune of working with people that I really liked, but it kind of takes that little bit of.

00:16:49.865 --> 00:17:00.624
They have to be aligned in this way so that they're also sharing this in their marketing, so that you can see the real people behind the scenes so important.

00:17:01.706 --> 00:17:21.406
So when it comes to you and your electrical biz not that I'm soliciting any sort of direct opinion on your business, because I'm just speaking to the space I know you're there, but if you're hearing this and thinking about this, well how do I know If you're thinking about, if you know if it's us or not?

00:17:21.406 --> 00:17:25.906
It's simple you put your hand up, you grab a value piece.

00:17:25.906 --> 00:17:27.836
You look at the information that we give.

00:17:27.836 --> 00:17:36.711
It's actually from the programs that we teach and if it helps you or you feel like it's aligned with the direction you're going to go, then it's as easy as that.

00:17:36.711 --> 00:17:39.561
You put your hand up, you get on a call, you have a chat with us.

00:17:39.561 --> 00:17:51.890
If you know this is not where I'm going, that's not the direction my business is headed, then I'm so happy, you know your direction and I'll be happy to help you find the right person for you.

00:17:51.890 --> 00:17:54.645
That's how committed we are to that.

00:17:54.645 --> 00:17:57.446
I'd love anything to add to that, joe.

00:17:58.220 --> 00:18:23.151
You know, I like the fact that it's we're also doing what we preach, because what we'll do is we also talk about when we go to our second call closes and we try to present it as listen I, if I'm not clearly the right fit, like if I'm not a hundred percent the right fit, if I had the stars literally align over the kitchen table and I had the perfect solution at the right price and you still didn't want it, I would still stay here.

00:18:23.151 --> 00:18:31.221
I would throw my presentation against the wall and I would stay here and help you go through your other proposals so we can figure out who is the right fit.

00:18:31.221 --> 00:18:47.108
And I would do that without even factoring myself into the equation, because we truly want to serve our client and I love that we're emulating that here, because we want to serve you regardless of who you go to.

00:18:47.108 --> 00:18:53.167
If you don't feel like it's with us, that's fine, If you do, even better.

00:18:53.167 --> 00:18:59.748
But regardless, we will never stop serving the electrical community because we want all of us to succeed 100%, brother.

00:19:00.048 --> 00:19:07.353
If there's one thing I could say that came out of the good for my email and canceled meeting interaction earlier.

00:19:07.353 --> 00:19:12.587
That story I told is that I recognized that this company tried to disqualify someone.

00:19:12.587 --> 00:19:16.685
They were worried wasn't a fit, and I can get behind that.

00:19:16.685 --> 00:19:19.935
I think that's an important part of the process.

00:19:19.935 --> 00:19:24.242
It's not about money collection, it's about great relationships.

00:19:24.242 --> 00:19:26.945
Those are stakeholders to your business.

00:19:26.945 --> 00:19:28.847
That's so important.

00:19:29.429 --> 00:19:36.757
Guys, if you didn't catch it earlier, there is an incredible value piece going around today from the Wizard of Options himself, my partner right over here.

00:19:36.757 --> 00:19:47.670
We did this video and literally we extracted 10 minutes where we go through a set of six options that literally sold gold just two weeks ago from an actual client submission.

00:19:47.670 --> 00:19:53.570
There's no names or or branding attached, excuse me, but we're sticking to the facts.

00:19:53.570 --> 00:20:08.463
Joe's going to give you real information about how to word those observations, the order they should be in, what's too much, what's not enough, how to link it directly to your top option and then working in a review from that top down to let you know that spacing and the information is all correct.

00:20:08.463 --> 00:20:15.289
To truly offer six options from the finest money could buy to the most bare bones you could possibly offer.

00:20:15.731 --> 00:20:19.383
I think that's so important for anyone interested in options to get a hold of.

00:20:19.383 --> 00:20:25.646
So all you have to do if you're live with us on this electric printer page is type a one in the comments.

00:20:25.646 --> 00:20:29.924
I'm going to tag Austin and make sure he helps you guys out too to get that.

00:20:29.924 --> 00:20:35.986
That's coming with our six option secrets value piece that's been totally updated as of today as well.

00:20:35.986 --> 00:20:38.251
Gosh, I love helping our community job.

00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:39.820
Amen to that brother.

00:20:39.820 --> 00:20:59.500
I gotta admit it's one of those really good moments where and honestly, the post I made was talking about how humbled I felt, because when we can give away free information and it can impact the lives of others, that's like lighting someone else's candle I never know whose candle that person will then light.

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:01.865
I want them to take the information and share it.

00:21:01.865 --> 00:21:04.409
Let's grow everyone who comes in contact with it.

00:21:04.409 --> 00:21:11.285
So I'm just happy that people are getting wins even if it's for free 100%.

00:21:11.305 --> 00:21:14.462
We got to crank out a couple of options, action items.

00:21:14.462 --> 00:21:17.425
I'm in options mode here.

00:21:17.425 --> 00:21:22.026
We're going to crank out a couple of actions, and then we got to say goodbye to our friends here today.

00:21:22.026 --> 00:21:24.810
Okay, there's something I've got to say.

00:21:24.851 --> 00:21:40.428
it's got to be one of the actions, okay go for it, take it please, the name of this episode the only time to ask for biz help but I'm gonna, I'm gonna curveball this a bit and say the only time to even take business help is when it is solicited.

00:21:40.428 --> 00:21:45.914
What I mean by that is it's worth as much as you pay for it.

00:21:45.914 --> 00:21:59.527
It's worth as much as you ask for it, like if you didn't ask for it, if it's unsolicited and it's just a rapid fire of a bunch of people giving you little nuggets here and there to do something with, but none of them are actually proven working together.

00:21:59.527 --> 00:22:02.432
Please do not take that advice.

00:22:02.432 --> 00:22:14.605
I would much rather you sit back on a whiteboard, take an hour in the morning, take an hour in the evening, whatever time it is, take two hours if you need it, and draw out your own little vision map.

00:22:14.665 --> 00:22:15.849
What's your roadmap?

00:22:15.849 --> 00:22:16.892
Where are you headed?

00:22:16.892 --> 00:22:19.409
How are you going to get this thing to the next level?

00:22:19.409 --> 00:22:20.986
What does the next level look like?

00:22:20.986 --> 00:22:27.974
And then grab the advice or the mentorship or the coaching or whatever level you want to come in at.

00:22:27.974 --> 00:22:28.640
That's specific to that journey.

00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:36.691
Please do yourselves that favor, because that's the only time you should be looking for help is to reduce that journey and make sure you see results on it.

00:22:36.691 --> 00:22:39.346
Do you have something to add to that, joe?

00:22:39.346 --> 00:22:39.948
I?

00:22:39.988 --> 00:22:40.048
do?

00:22:40.048 --> 00:22:40.741
I got an all-star.

00:22:40.741 --> 00:22:41.503
If we want to set that, as a basic.

00:22:41.525 --> 00:22:41.744
Do you have?

00:22:41.765 --> 00:22:42.548
something to add to that?

00:22:42.548 --> 00:22:44.493
Joe, I do.

00:22:44.493 --> 00:22:46.160
I got an all-star, if we want to set that as a basic.

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:46.259
Okay.

00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.313
So the all-star action is more of a personal reflection, because the kind of person you are today means that you're going to need a coach to accommodate that type of person.

00:22:53.313 --> 00:23:01.846
But as you grow, your needs may grow, your vision may grow, your business may grow and it's possible you could even outgrow the coach.

00:23:01.846 --> 00:23:05.799
Your vision may grow, your business may grow and it's possible you could even outgrow the coach.

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:11.186
What that means is that you yourself have to imagine that you're constantly in a state of reflection.

00:23:11.186 --> 00:23:13.275
Am I learning something that's helping my industry?

00:23:13.275 --> 00:23:15.280
Am I learning something that's helping my business?

00:23:15.280 --> 00:23:17.307
Does this make me feel good when I'm doing this?

00:23:17.307 --> 00:23:20.343
Is it constantly in alignment for where I'm trying to go?

00:23:20.343 --> 00:23:22.770
If the answer is yes, then great.

00:23:22.770 --> 00:23:24.605
You stay with that coach and you show your loyalty.

00:23:24.605 --> 00:23:32.290
If you find that you're no longer in alignment with values or beliefs or ethics or whatever it is, then that's okay.

00:23:32.290 --> 00:23:36.046
Enjoy what you've learned and then move on to the next vision.

00:23:37.489 --> 00:23:46.147
So the moral of the story of this all-star action is getting a coach isn't supposed to be a ball and chain, it's supposed to be the key that unlocks it.

00:23:46.147 --> 00:23:54.271
You want to be free and, as a result, we don't plan on having someone stay with us forever.

00:23:54.271 --> 00:23:58.711
I want them to learn so much so that they don't need us anymore.

00:23:58.711 --> 00:24:01.326
That's how we operate.

00:24:01.326 --> 00:24:03.636
If you succeed to the point where you don't need us anymore, that's how we operate.

00:24:03.636 --> 00:24:09.080
If you succeed to the point where you don't need our advice, then great, that's amazing, and I can't stress how proud of you all be.

00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:14.432
But until you don't need it, know that I hands up and I'm happy to serve.

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:21.673
Wow, you just hot mic this Joe and at the same time, you just described leadership 101.

00:24:21.673 --> 00:24:23.105
That was so powerful.

00:24:23.105 --> 00:24:31.106
So even if you're not looking for help if it's not us maybe you need help just finding who it is, or you're just thinking about how to lead your team better.

00:24:31.106 --> 00:24:33.401
There's a lot of value here in this today.

00:24:33.401 --> 00:24:47.608
So thank you for joining us on our mission to rise the tide for all electricpreneurs to get off the bottom, to get up and climb to our next level, so we help you master your sales, simplify your pricing and deliver premium level electrical service.

00:24:47.608 --> 00:24:49.122
We'll see you again next week.

00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:51.105
Can't wait, looking forward to it.
