Base for their feedback. And one of the things that's kind of come up is I want everybody to ask themselves, if are you putting too many steps between where you are now and making money? And really think about like, what are the things that you need to do to make money today? And you don't have to have your website totally done. You don't have to have a perfect offer put together yet. You don't have to have all the answers or have everything figured out yet. And I think that's something that we hear a lot and you know, we 6FBA is now officially retired and everybody's access is over. And so we were hearing from a lot of people over there too. And a lot of times people will say, Well, I haven't made any money yet. And then they say Well, do you have a way to accept payment on your website? Or have you made an offer to somebody? Have you asked somebody to buy one of your products or services? And so often the answer is like Well, no. And so it makes me wonder, well, of course you're not making money. You don't you don't have a way to make money right now. And I think the reason for that is because people feel like they need to do all of these things before they can start making money. And I would just like to offer what if that weren't true? And what if you could just get started with something quick, simple, easy, straightforward today. And maybe that's just taking on a one on one client. Maybe that is you know, taking on like doing a founding members launch. Maybe it's sending that friends and family email template to your people and just saying like, Hey, here's what I'm doing. If you know anybody who's interested, please pass this along. So we have that making money bootcamp that we did to Q3 and there's a lot of like, the first couple of ways to make money are sort of those getting started ways. If you haven't done this yet, I would like give yourself a checklist. And in the next 30 days do at least two of those things. Because then if you're still not making money, okay, now we can troubleshoot what's maybe not working, where we could change some things around what's happening. But if we're not making money, because we're not putting it out there that we have something that people could pay us for, that's just on us, then at that point, right, like, well, of course, I'm not going to make money yet, I have no way for people to pay me. So we want to help you guys. I know, that's a huge goal of everybody who comes in here. Obviously, the incubator is designed to help you build a profitable business, I think everybody has seen that it's really about so much more than just making money. And we still want you to do that, too. And I think a lot of times, like a lot of the mindset work, especially that we do is what will help you start making money. So it's less about having all your ducks in a row, like strategically, all the technical logistical pieces and more just like, can you send somebody a Google Doc that has three paragraphs about how you could help them with a Pay Pal link? Like, how can we make this simple and easy? All right, that's my soapbox.

I guess it was just connecting for me some of the things that we had the themes that we had already talked about, which is like, sometimes you do need to take that space and that rest and figure out what direction and like what truly you want to work towards. And then that paired with what you're talking about is like what is the simplest way to do that? What are the pieces that need to get in place to move you towards that direction? And like the magic of those two things, and how sometimes in our head, we tell ourselves stories of like, oh, well, I need this. And I need this and I need this. And so being able to ask yourself, like, is that actually true? And then going back to your like, why and the direction you want to go and like always coming back to that North Star. I think the beauty of those two things is kind of what's coming up for me during this call. So I don't know if that makes sense at all. But that's what kind of came up for me when you were chatting.

Yeah, it makes me think too about like, just making a conscious decision of what you're doing. And that even being more important. Like if you've decided, I actually, my goal right now is not to make money. My goal right now is to do X, Y and Z. Great. But then like you're in that headspace, and then we're like, we don't have to have the conversation or even the conversation with yourself about like, I'm not making money at my business isn't successful enough. I'm not where I should be. It's like, No, I'm exactly where I should be. I'm prioritizing X, Y, and Z right now. And I'm not prioritizing increasing revenue. But if your goal is like, I need to increase revenue today, like or yesterday, then how can we do that? And I think one of the things that I often see, and I think especially because of my, you know, the SEO and blogging approach that we take, is that a lot of people will spend most of their time writing blog posts and creating content. And that's great. It's not that I'm saying obviously, that you shouldn't do those things. But I think sometimes they end up being a place where we hide a little bit where it's like, this is something that yes, we need to have some content out there. We need to have a way for people to find us, especially if you're not using social media, but it can make us feel really busy. And then we're not actually moving the needle and the business of selling our offers and connecting with people and getting clients and those things. So almost, I like hesitate to say it because I'm not saying like don't blog, don't put anything out there. But it's just like how can we reprioritize and see like, you know, blogging is something that is like that's your marketing strategy, but your business needs more than just a marketing strategy. And so how could that kind of become the thing that sort of happens in the background? And that's the likes. It's like you're building something that's going to serve you really well in the future. But the blog, of course, is the longer game. And so what can we do in the short term?
