You know it's the time of year.
It's the most wonderful time.
(01:14):
No, it actually is not the mostwonderful time of the year.
Do you know?
There's a time of year that Idon't think is the most
wonderful, and it's right now.
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Halloween time.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Hate it, stop it.
True, true, true, what?
Okay, there's a couple reasons.
I was the girl, so we didn'tcelebrate Halloween.
My family's from the Caribbean.
My parents grew up in a costal.
Halloween is not a holiday wecelebrate, and so we're
worshiping devils.
Right, exactly, and soliterally.
(01:45):
When I was in elementary school, when there was a Halloween
party, I'd have to go to thelibrary, which is okay because I
like to read.
At the time, I read a lot, butthat's how I'd spend it.
There was one other girl whodidn't, for a little while too,
and I'd see her there.
But yeah, so there's that.
But really, and it's fine, I'vedressed up in my adulthood, not
like the sexy whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh, rock, jingles and bunny.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think I dressed up once For Jazzercise.
I did.
I dressed up as a throwbackJazzercise instructor and have I
ever told you this story?
Okay, because I thought it wasgoing to be great.
Okay, so I thought it wasamazing.
The what is it?
The Unitar, that's up the buttand everything.
Yes, and I went and I gotleggings and I got leg warmers
(02:30):
and I get up and the headband.
I get up there to teach, like,okay, the Halloween class and
everyone's there.
First of all, leg warmers arefreaking hot.
Okay, to me, jazzercise classand leg warmers is a bad.
I had to take those off.
But the worst part was this Igot, because I did talk to I got
the Jazzercise, like what dothey call it?
The Unitar, the?
(02:51):
Unitar is it Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I get tired, I guess.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Lea Tard, I got it from an instructor who'd been
teaching back then.
She still had it, so it hadJazzercise, literally, on it.
Okay, but here's the issue.
I wanted to match it and it waslike a burgundy, it's like a
grayish color and like this navyblue, and I wanted to match it.
So I got brown leggings.
Well, you know what color myskin is?
(03:15):
Brown, right.
And then you turn around andyou're wearing these brown shiny
leggings that look like yourskin tone.
It literally looks like yourass is out.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So you're wearing a song and you're Jazzercise class
.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So I'm like I can't turn around.
I'm so sorry.
It's like I wouldn't turnaround the whole class because
I'm also up on a podium, like ona stage, and I'm like I am not
showing this huge.
It was in this like gymnasiumauditorium, like like gym.
I'm like I am not showing it onmy butt.
I am so sorry.
Yeah, that's my story.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That's sad.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Why didn't you go with yellow, like I was thinking
, yellow, I don't know, I don'tknow, I don't know, I don't know
, and then but I?
What I really don't like aboutthis time of year is the fact
that I don't like scary movies,and I think it is actually
triggering and an emotional andabuse that I'm sitting here
(04:13):
watching TV shows, having a goodtime, and they throw on a scary
commercial with no warningabout some scary movie.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I cannot stand that.
So, guys, I love scary movies.
I love this time of year.
I'm the complete opposite ofyou.
I don't actually dress up,though, but if I am watching
like a show and a nice show,having a good evening, and they
pop in Megan or some creepylittle girl out of nowhere, like
no, you, just you ruined it I'mgoing to turn it off.
(04:43):
That wasn't in the mood.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I'm right there and they've been doing that lately,
and so I start singing.
It's kind of like what do youknow?
Like I got to get it throughthe movie.
I close my eyes and I'm likebecause it's just, I don't like
that stuff in my head.
Yeah, anyway, hi.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Hello, good morning.
Good morning.
Roxanne doesn't like Halloween,so that's why she's always
singing Christmas tunes the most.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
What?
Thank goodness Costco is withme and they're already doing
like Christmas all the way.
Okay, so you're Christmas tree,christmas gifts, you're all the
things they're out there onCostco.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I do.
You know.
We're not bringing ourChristmas tree with us here to
Nashville, so I need a new tree.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yes, you do.
Well, costco has them.
I'm glad we started with thehighs and the lows of this time
of the season because, well, Ialso need just a quick, quick
shout out the day we'rerecording this is the day the
new in sync song fully dropped,so if you haven't listened to it
yet, better place take a listen.
Okay, all right, love you andthank me.
I'm going to go through itbefore now so I can go through
(05:44):
times.
Okay, so I've been having a lotof conversations lately yeah, a
lot of them with, when I like,with people in different aspects
of the network marketing,direct selling industry, and
when I say that I don't onlymean my clients, I don't, I also
mean like the corporate side ofthings.
I just came back from aconvention, had so much fun in
(06:07):
Dallas for where I was at thepharmacy convention and I did
like focus groups and stuff withthem, but also talking to top,
top leaders in companies thatyou are who are listening, are
with, and overall the sentimentis times be tough.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, typically when the end, when, like the, there's
a lag in the market, well,network marketing shoots up.
But we have this thing calledyou know you, for if you listen
to rocks talks podcast, I'vecalled it the lockdown right
2020.
It had such a big surge forpeople who are in direct selling
(06:58):
and the companies that theyhave not had an opportunity to
like.
You know, when everything goesup, what is it?
What it's like what goes up mustcome down right, and so I feel
like the down is so much granderbecause the up was just so
quick.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Skyrocketed up.
It's like do you feel likeright now it's kind of trying to
balance it out Like it's likewhoop and we don't have the
support to continue.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So it's like yes, someone said and I thought it
was great Like this is thepruning season for network
marketing.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, pruning, that's off Literally what was going
into my head.
Yes, it's like the people whowere in it to just make quick
money did great in lockdown,cool, awesome.
Now it's like are you in it forreal or not?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Mm-hmm and the people who joined, thinking that that
really is oh my gosh, it isgetting rich quick are having a
reckoning of do I want to dothis, if it's work or not, and I
think the people who were therebefore are forgetting what it
was like before 2020.
And so it's like you have thisamnesia.
You don't remember anythingbefore 2020 and you're having a
(08:10):
hard time as well, too, Mm-hmm.
Problem with that is this is abelief industry.
It is so reliant on your belief, and we're not gonna sit here
and be like okay, if you justbelieve, if you have some
positivity, it's all gonna workout.
You know what I mean?
I'm not saying positivity is abad thing.
I'm just saying that I'm notgonna sell you, it's all gonna
(08:33):
work out.
Yeah, it's not through.
Yeah, Gotta put a motor behindthat positive video, okay?
Yeah, All right, your shit doesstink.
Okay, Like it doesn't.
Anyhow, I got the song in myhead but so I think it's good to
talk about in like real talk.
And I will say I'm hearing somepeople like, oh, times are hard
, but you know, my way is theway and I just we're not really
(08:57):
here to tell you our way is theway.
We're just here to give yousome real world.
Like if you are looking to makemoney right now and really most
people in the world are lookingto make money when you say,
like, even those who don't workmarried someone who made money
for them so they don't have tomake money like everyone, we do
need money when it comes down toit.
(09:19):
Makes the world go around, makesthe world go around.
And so if you're finding that,I guess the first thing I would
say is actually this is not atime to think oh my gosh,
network marketing, all thosethings people say about it like
they were right.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
It's dying.
Oh my gosh, Like I think we'restill gonna stand with our stay
ups.
We did the is network marketingdying earlier in the season and
we're gonna stick with our stayups.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, we stand by that.
It is not dying.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It is dying.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It's pruning.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
it's changing, it's coming.
Well, we all had to adjustafter we left the house and took
our masks off.
Network marketing is doing thesame thing In a big way.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
And so, when we've talked about well, let's dive
into the what to do.
Okay, so, like I guess I wantyou to know, like, if you want
to make money in networkmarketing, if you're like, I
don't wanna give this up, I lovethe environment, I love the
people, it's done things for me,I love the product.
Heck, this is our, these arethe things we're gonna give you
(10:24):
and, honestly, this is notsomething we're just gonna talk
about one and done, because Ithink that would be
short-sighted, because there's a.
This is like your time to work,it's pruning season, and
pruning season doesn't mean justmean like we're cutting off the
dead weight.
It also means that if you arehere, you can better yourself
and make things happen.
(10:44):
You can prune and evolve.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I like this, I really like this topic.
So it's like we're giving youguys actual tips on how like you
can make this work right now.
We're not just gonna come onhere and be like oh folks,
social media, social media is sogreat, Like we kind of gotta go
a bit broader today.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
We do, and also I wanna invite you to share this
with anyone else that you knowthat's struggling with us.
Okay, and I think one of thereasons it's been on my heart
like I've been wrestling Tarynwas like we should talk about
and we're gonna talk aboutyou'll see, it's coming.
And something was wrestlingwith me and I think what was
(11:22):
wrestling me over the last weekis the fact that people okay,
let me just take a pause.
We talked about MRR recentlyand I've talked about it a few
times on Facebook or Instagramlives and I always look at like,
look at the clues, or why arepeople doing this?
Why is this thing picking up?
(11:42):
And it's because people needmoney.
It's desperation.
I know that half the people whoare running around doing it
wouldn't be doing it if youweren't desperate or you felt
desperate like you needed tomake money.
Your paychecks, usually gettingfrom your company, have gone
down dramatically and you'relooking for other ways and so we
wanna give you.
(12:02):
We can't just sit here and gookay, that thing is whacked,
don't do it.
We gotta give you anopportunity or some options that
well, better options at fiveyears down the road you can
sleep at night instead of justsaying don't do it.
Yeah, so number one is thisy'all, if you still want to work
(12:23):
your network marketing business, focus on your products.
Now, I know this probably goesagainst a lot of things you hear
.
Leave with the business.
But the truth of the matter isdo you want dollars in your
pocket, like the next time youget paid which some of you is
daily, some of you is monthly,some of you is weekly then focus
(12:45):
on selling the products.
Because here's the thing One ofthe things about network
marketing that can grade you atdifferent times is when you have
a team, you can't control otherpeople.
You can't.
You can't control how much theyput into their business,
whether they decide there.
I know, like someone recentlywho just said, peace out, like
it happens all the time.
You can't control that.
(13:05):
But what you can control isyour relationship with your
customers and you can controlthe amount of time you put into
sharing about the products youbelieve in.
So start there.
That will give you an instantboost to your paycheck.
And the other thing, yeah, andthe other thing about that is
this like, don't get it twisted.
(13:26):
People who buy your product candefinitely turn into people who
want to sell it as well too.
But the other reason I tell youto focus on the product is
because see this time and timeagain when you're kind of down
in the dumps because your checkhas gone down or your team has
been dissipating, you cannotauthentically go to someone and
(13:47):
say, oh my gosh, you shouldtotally join.
It's amazing.
I have belief in this, it'sdone this, and that because your
belief is shattered right now.
I love that you can't, becausethat's integrity.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But what I'm saying is, ifthat's the case, then talk about
the thing you do believe in andyou believe in the products.
Odds are, you're using them ona regular basis.
(14:08):
Lean into that and sell that.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
So cut, literally prune off what you were doing to
build a team right now.
That's okay, you can come backto it.
Focus on the products.
That's very actionable.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I know it's controversial, but whatever we
don't care.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That's what we're here for.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's right.
You want to make money rightnow.
Focus on selling those products.
With that, though, it does meanwell.
It takes me to the next thing,which is like okay, it's time
for you to really do a timeaudit on what you're spending
your time on.
Literally stop spending yourtime on things that are not
going to directly make you money.
(14:50):
Get back to the basics of yet.
You got to talk to people.
Yes, you got to check in withyour customers, because when you
do that, they're more likely topurchase again.
Yes, there's more.
What other things, taryn,because I know that you have a
couple.
You've got to send your emails?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yes, you do, probably .
Probably AKA you should I don'tlike saying should, but show up
on social media.
Show up on social media.
Maybe for you that's posting astory, maybe for you it's
chatting with some people on theDMs.
You can choose where you wantto show up, where you know it's
going to generate income, butyou've got to be doing those
(15:30):
things you do.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
You're probably saying, but okay, if I'm making,
there are things that you weredoing right now that aren't
directly making you money, likeI'm spending all this time on
Canva creating things I'm doing,there are things that aren't
making you money.
Listen, here's my thing.
I'm not saying they're notimportant to your business.
A well-rounded business,whether it's a corporate
business or not, has a marketingdepartment, has all these other
(15:53):
aspects to it, but if it'ssomething that you don't
physically, personally need todo to move the business forward,
then you need to outsource itor let it go.
So, like, for example, if youare selling product, guess what?
You're the one who needs to betalking to the person about it
at some point.
You are an essential worker.
If we go back to lockdown, mysister was an essential worker.
(16:14):
You're an essential worker.
You still have to go to work.
She still had to go to thehospital.
They're like, oh no, you don'thave to go, she still had to go.
Okay, so that is your essentialwork Creating your social media
plan or creating, except forshowing up live or DMing people.
You can outsource it.
(16:35):
This is what I'm trying to say.
You can outsource that.
You can outsource that easily.
It's what we do with ourclients.
That's what we do for ourclients.
We literally either fully dotheir social media or social
templates club.
You get the templates if you dowant to spend time on it, but
y'all, this is the time to go.
Listen, let me find a way sothat I don't have to be doing
(16:56):
that part, so I can go okay,when I'm selling this water
bottle, I know I'm going to make$20 off of every water bottle
I'm going to sell, so I'm goingto focus on selling this water
bottle.
I guarantee you when you dothat, the time you spend focused
on selling this will make upfor the money you're spending to
outsource it.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, and outsource it too.
I like to kind of say you guys,there's so many tools and
services out there that makeyour things quicker.
So I know you gave the exampleof like we fully do someone's
social media, but there's alsooptions out there where, yes,
can you get templates, emailtemplates, social media
templates, can you use differentAI tools.
(17:38):
We're not going to go into thattoday, but there's other things
that can speed up your processbecause, okay, you know you need
to show up on social media.
How can you make it faster andmore efficient?
Can you repurpose some of yourold content that you posted
before?
Maybe change the backgroundcolor on Canva, or maybe you
(17:59):
posted about something and youdid a whole graphic.
Could you get on Stories andshow your face and talk about it
?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yes, yes, waste to speed up that process.
That does not mean I'm going totake a full Canva course and
then y'all, I love Canva, butthere's too much in Canva.
If you thinking it like, pleasedon't learn Canva right now,
yeah, please don't.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
There is a lot.
It used to be so much easier tolearn, but now it's a whole
tool.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
But it's a whole tool , but it also means like it
might be like right now I'mdoing social flow right, and
social flow is we're literally,for three weeks, people who know
they need to get their emailfunnels going.
I really am theiraccountability and their coach
so they get the stuff done.
That's what it is.
So they know in three weeksthey're going to really get it
done and they're not going to belike, oh, one day I need to do
(18:43):
it.
Like, literally, it might bethat you need a coach or an
accountability partner to getthe stuff done.
That's going to speed up theprocess.
So you have it forever.
There's different ways to do it.
Yeah, so set it and forget it.
Set it and forget it.
It could be like you saidtemplates with social emails, we
give them templates.
Can you believe it's almostbeen a year?
I can't believe that withsocial emails.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Oh yes.
I'm like social templates clubis more than a year.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, but social emails there it is and you have
the templates.
You fill in the blanks, likeMad Libs.
You're too young to know, MadLibs, but it was a thing and
you're good to go.
So use the tools that are goingto save you time.
Like you said, Taryn, speed upthe process so you can focus on
the things that are making money.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, and I think it's safe to say here is so
maybe social media does take youmore time, but you know it
results in more connections andsales.
So, being okay with I'm goingto take my time that I was maybe
using for something else,talking with my team, blah, blah
(19:46):
and I'm going to move it overhere and not necessarily shrink
the time, like give it the timeit needs, so that's okay too.
You're reevaluating and puttingit where it needs to and
assessing like does this needmore time, less time?
Do I need to find somethingthat makes me faster?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, really, thinking through it all,
Absolutely, and then we shouldlike stop talking to your team.
We don't mean that, but we domean it.
You know this.
You've been heard this Ifyou're not at a certain level in
your business, your time shouldbe 80% of your time should be
spent on your own business and20% or less should be spent on
fostering your team.
Often, when we get a fewrecruits, we want to just focus
(20:24):
on them because that's easierthan having to get out there and
do the income producingactivities.
That's a really good reminder,terrin, to assess that,
especially depending on whereyour team is.
And if your team is shrunk,that is a good indication to
move over to focus on yougrowing your own business.
The next one is this you knowwe Oftentimes, when you talked,
(20:49):
when you were talking about,when you were being talked to
about joining the business, oras you talked to people about
joining the business, you talkedabout multiple streams of
income.
You probably even quoted WarrenBuffett and said he said you
need to have six streams ofincome and it's like this is why
you should join.
It's another stream of income?
Oh, seven, it could be seven,seven streams, 25 streams of
(21:11):
income.
But then you join networkmarketing and it's like a whole
community and there's all thesethings and it's a shiny toy and,
as a result, did you focus onother streams of income.
I'm curious.
Maybe it was making more moneythan the other and you said let
me just fooey on that one, I'llcome over here.
We all do it right.
You focus on the thing thesqueaky wheel.
(21:32):
Squeaky wheel might be thething that's squeaky because
money's coming out.
I want you to ask yourself howmany streams of income do you
have?
If you have your nine to fivebusiness working nine to nine, I
love her.
Or that and your networkmarketing company, or that and
(21:54):
your sugar daddy, those arestill only three, at best two,
one, depending on what you have,there's at least four or three
or four more that you can beproviding for yourself.
So I think we should talk aboutsome of them.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, I would love to hear some of the ideas, because
this one I'm a little hesitantto, but this is coming from me,
a little projector, because Ifeel like it's like pushing more
hustle on people.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I don't think that's what you're doing at all, but
it's like you need to have more.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
You need to do this.
If this one's not working, getanother one to me.
I might feel so exhausting andit makes me want to cry.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well, yeah, don't cry , then that's a good call-outs.
Let me throw out some andyou'll see some variety in them
and they might be like oh, thatsounds like fun.
Remember, we forget when wejoin network marketing why we
joined, and often it's not to bethe top dog in your company and
make a trillion dollars.
I'm not telling you to leaninto any of these to a point
(22:51):
where you're huffling, to apoint where you're like, oh my
gosh, now this is the stress.
I'm not saying become aninfluencer because, honestly,
influence that is stressful.
They are always on, seriously,they're always on and if they're
, gone.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
They're always on.
And then they're talking abouttheir mental health.
They're like sorry, I was goneat a breakdown.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm like oh but if they're gone for more than like
a day, we're like where did theygo?
Like I, if I don't see a postfrom one of the influencers I'm
checking out like where is she?
I need some more information.
Show me another Amazon haul.
I need to see what's going on.
What happened to the house?
What am I buying?
They have a crumbie today.
I know, Come on, Show me thethings I don't really need, but
(23:30):
I want now.
Ok, we're not saying that.
One is this, truly y'all.
There's something purging aboutthis and I've been doing this
now for a few months.
My sister told me about it.
She's been doing it for years.
I'm like I'll try it.
I started doing it, I don'tremember what, anyhow, before
the wedding Poshmark.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Oh, yeah, my girlfriend does that.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
It's so funny.
So Poshmark is an opportunityfor you to take like clothes or
really household things orwhatever that you don't use
anymore.
You put them up on and otherpeople buy them Y'all.
It is so easy.
If you're a network marketer,this is super easy for you.
You'll be like oh, this is whatgood technology looks like, and
seriously it's.
I'm someone who hates sendingstuff.
(24:13):
They make it so easy for youbecause when someone buys it,
you literally just print off.
If you want or use the or thecode for the priority mail,
print it off, you put it in abox and you just put it in the
in the mailbox.
You drop it off.
I'm supposed to.
It's so easy.
And you make a little littleching ching, like yeah, why not
(24:35):
Like?
That?
One's easy.
And what I like about as well,too, is it's purging things that
maybe you don't need.
Now, scott always gives me ahard time.
He's like if it doesn't sellwithin a week, we're taking it
to Goodwill.
Somebody else needs it.
I'm like OK, but let me have myfun.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
But I'm the Scott in this scenario, Like let's just
write a good well.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, but that's an option, but it can find a home
with people and I've been ableto sell some things for people
Like, thank you so much.
I've been looking for that.
I'm like, yeah, so that's onethat you could do and truly you
could work it where you'remaking.
And again, I'm not saying youcould go all in if you want to,
but I literally just put somethings up, maybe make $20 a week
(25:14):
, and I'm like that was fun andfun extra 20 bucks, I can go get
my lunch.
Correct, correct, and when youthink about what you're not
making in your net or marketingbusiness, it might even that out
a little bit.
Yeah, you could put more thingson just as much you have in
what you put.
So the other one is usergenerated content, and I know
that's something that you'veheard me talk about on my
(25:37):
Instagram feed a bit lately.
I think there's a lot ofmisnomers about it and I think
also, again, if you're goingthrough the tension, let me just
do this and this might be fun.
That's, that's the intentionwe're putting out there, right?
So basically, we think aboutinfluence.
It's different from influencing.
User generated content isbasically a company let's use I
always use my Stanley waterbottle.
(25:57):
Ok, so basically, let's sayStanley are Stanley water
bottles.
Yes, Stanley is like I needsome more content.
I don't want to hire like an adagency and make it look all
like Superbowl commercial.
I want content that feelsrelatable.
So what they'll do is they willhire people, joe Smos, doesn't
(26:19):
matter how many followers.
And social media, taran.
So Roxanne Wilson and you, andthey'll say, hey, can you take a
picture with your Stanley waterbottle?
We'll pay you 15, 30.
So now it's five cents,depending on it, for for a
picture or video.
You do it, you send it off, youget your money.
(26:39):
That is what it is.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I like that.
That's fun.
We were talking about thisearlier this week and so I'm I'm
going to be delving into thisone.
Guys, I'm like, oh, I could dothis this.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yay, I, I told you and I told my sister and my and
my husband Look at that, that'sa fun name because my sister,
because of what she does shecan't like.
She has a private Instagramaccount but she always loves
doing something like that.
She's like this is a bummer,listen, you don't have to post
it on your social media.
Doesn't have to go in yoursocial media at all, they just
(27:11):
put it on theirs.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yes, see that cooler, yeah, and so I just did some
free, user generated content forthis house company last night
and I'm like, wait a second, Ineed to be rethinking who I
shout out on my social.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
No, seriously, seriously.
And what I found to is I knowthat when the when you do it
like, you can put it on yourlike.
If you love it, you can shoutthem out and tag them on your
page and that can lead to moredirect business.
But what's interesting is Idon't remember what's
interesting with something coolabout it.
Oh, I remember if you thinkabout when you go to Amazon I
(27:50):
don't know about you, but I loveto look at the reviews and then
it's obsessed, right.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It messes with my head.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yes, and then they have videos and you're like, how
do these like?
They have videos that are kindof like you call them influence
or videos.
No, those are user generatedcontent, videos that they hired
people to do and put on there.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, and I do appreciate when it has their
special clothes, because thenyou can really see the quality
of the clothes and you're like Igot backfired on you.
That looks like crap.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
But thank you because you did the Lord's work so I
didn't have to do it.
Yeah, so that's one way and youcan just have fun with it.
Like, literally, it's about youhaving fun and just adding
extra streams.
In that way, I have a fun one.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Tell us Walking dogs Like, oh yeah, I love dogs, you
could do fetch Rover.
What are the other ones?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Rover, Rover yeah, yeah, you know that Rover.
Scott did that during COVID.
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
He was working from home and he needed, like you had
, to get there and walk and Iwas like, listen, you should
just get on fetch.
I'm going to put whenever it'syou should, I put him on, I'm
going to put you on fetch andhe's like all right, fine, and
he did it.
He walked a dog five days aweek because one of our friends
in San Diego she did, she waswalking dogs like crazy during
COVID and he walked like a bigold dog, like a Rottweiler, and
(29:09):
and, yeah, five days a week he'dwalk for an hour, the dog for
an hour.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Well, and you guys even those are runners that
listen, you can.
People pay you to run their dog.
Yeah go for a 30 minute jog andwear that little puppy out Wear
that puppy out.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
So that is another way you can do it.
I mean, listen, you could dolike Uber Eats and stuff like
that, but these I think are lessstressful, personally, yeah,
you could.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
You could do shipped Is that what it's called when
you go get their groceries.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
There's actually another app.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
So my cousin did this one.
I think it was called likePapa's Pals, or you actually,
like people in need can hire youto come help, like maybe you
bring them grocery shopping oryou drive them to their doctor's
appointment or maybe they needhelp with dinner.
You can kind of pick and chooseand you go help these people
who don't necessarily have likea community that they can rely
(30:02):
on for help.
So my cousin did that for alittle while and she loved it.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
That's so cool.
See, that's really special.
I like that.
There's all these differentways that you can get out there,
and you know what I like aboutit, too, is it actually
introduces you to other peopleand other things.
All of these things we'vementioned.
It's introducing you todifferent things.
The other thing I like aboutall of these things is it's
(30:28):
going to help you with the nextthing you can do right now,
which is invest in yourself.
So, even all these streams ofincome we've mentioned, are you
getting out of your comfort zoneor your little zone of you're
just focused on your networkmarketing business and that zone
it's showing you new products,it's exposing you to new people,
to new things, and you aregoing to find yourself, because
(30:54):
I'm here to tell you that if youwant to make money right now
and also so the seeds for thefuture, you need to figure out
who the F you are.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
It's true, no matter what darn business you are in,
no matter what you are doing,you need to figure out who you
are, and it changes, andespecially if you're a woman
listening to this, there'ssomething about women.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
There's so many great things about women.
Let's be real.
One of the things about us,though, is that we are so
focused on caring for the otherpeople in our lives whether it
be our family, whether it bework, whether it be friends that
we forget who we are.
We make a lot of compromisesand we forget who we are for the
good of our circle.
(31:39):
That's all well and good I'mnot judging that but there comes
a reckoning.
There comes a point in timethat you are going to have to
figure out who the hell you are,and I see it all the time when
network marketers come to me andthey show me their social media
page and I'm like okay, you'renot your company, because I know
you lived before you joinedyour company.
(32:01):
And yet all I see is yourcompany who are you?
And they start regurgitatingthese words that are clearly
they.
I could have just picked uptheir companies, their company's
website, and I'm like you'remore than that.
Figure out who the F you are.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah what I see in like our backend.
When people come on with us forsocial teams and we do their
social media, we have them fillout some extensive not extensive
, but like onboarding questions.
We want to get to know them,we're kind of taking over their
voice and we're helprepresenting them on Instagram.
But when I see these formsfilled out like a lot of women
(32:41):
and this is by no means callinganybody out or saying anything
mean they don't know.
They don't even know how toanswer the questions.
Like the question will be likewhat are your pillars for social
media?
What do you want to talk abouton social media?
My company, my products?
Yeah, no, what do you you theperson want to talk about?
Are you obsessed withexercising and working out and
(33:06):
staying healthy?
Are you passionate abouthelping other moms read with
their kids?
Like I'm just kind of throwingsome ideas, like really pulling.
What do you like, not just whatdo you sell?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
It's one of the things and like.
And then I want to say Terrinsaid we're not picking on anyone
and it's something that I sawas a jazzer size instructor
because, believe it or not,jazzer instructor I was with
women who did not know like Iit's a, it is such a female
thing.
But it's what I love aboutnetwork marketing and it's one
of the reasons that I coachnetwork marketers.
It's less about coaching aboutsocial media, and it's really
(33:45):
about help and I tell peoplethis whole time.
I help people figure out whothey are.
I help you find your groove sothat you can find your voice.
And once you find your voice,whether you want to be a network
marketer or you want to do yourown thing, it gives me such joy
Because then you come to lifeand I see you doing and figure
out who you are.
And it's a journey and, likeyou said with some of our social
(34:06):
teams clients, they come in andthey're not really sure and
it's really.
We work through them and we getyou know at a certain stage and
I'm talking like nine months in, where I'm constantly saying
the same thing.
They're like, okay, but whatare?
What is where, what, and we'reforming their social media based
on who they are in that moment.
And then the light bulb turnson and they're like this is what
I really care about.
(34:27):
This is what really lights meup, Like great, let's lean into
that and that is what we'regoing to talk about.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It's something that you said it's so easy to show
them social media.
Then, Cause you're just you'reexcited to talk about what you
like.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Because it's authentic and it's what you said
.
This is something that's acrossthe board.
If you are a small businessowner, you deal with this.
I deal with this.
Taryn, you deal with yourbusiness.
It's a normal thing thateveryone has to figure out.
But when you join networkmarketing because it's business
in a box, it almost tells youyou don't have to figure that
out.
So you go and go oh great, Idon't have to think, I can just
(34:59):
do what they say and it's likeno, that's not the case.
Actually, if you want to besuccessful, you got to figure
out who the hell you are, or whothe F you are, or who you are.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Yeah yeah, and I think back to like I used to
struggle with this.
So people would be like, oh,taryn, tell us a bit about
yourself.
And I'm a wife, I'm a mom, andit's like, no, no, I mean you
are, you are those things.
But who is Taryn?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, you know Mm-hmm?
Those are aspects of my life,like who is the actual being,
(35:28):
and I'm like, oh gosh, well,give me a second to rethink that
answer Exactly.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
But answer yourself that yes and give yourself time.
Some of you just naturally yourhuman design.
The answer is gonna just dropimmediately.
Some of you is gonna take awhile and you're gonna be
thinking a lot of differentthings.
Don't judge that, don't judgethe feeling, but just lean into
when it drops and you feel likethis is who I am, and then
explore that, play around withthat Mm-hmm, we're gonna play
(35:55):
around with it with you.
By the way, we are, we are thisis not the only conversation
we're gonna have about this,because I think there's a lot of
depth that goes into figuringout who the F you are.
And the beauty of that is, onceyou do like you said, taryn,
it's so easy, but also it makessense.
(36:16):
And as someone who's looking atyour social media or talking to
you in general or was in yoursphere, like, oh, what she's
doing, what she's promoting,makes sense because I know who
she is and it will help youtremendously, and so we are
going to lean into that.
We might smatter in otherthings too.
So you're like, oh my gosh,we're gonna help you get through
(36:37):
the next three months Happyfinal quarter y'all, but we
really do want to see yousucceed, and so we're gonna
spend some good time on this andhelp you out.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yes, I'm super excited about this.
We are gonna do a little bit ofa series that I've been mapping
out behind the scenes for youguys, but we really wanted to
shift into, like, why are wetalking about this, Instead of
giving tips that Google couldjust give you?
We're gonna dig deep, maybemake you a little uncomfortable,
(37:09):
but have you walked away withknowing who the heck you are?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yes, yes, and if you finish the series and you don't
know who you are, it's okay.
You're not ahead, you're notbehind.
Exactly who you're supposed tobe.
Love it.
You look like Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Oh my gosh, Maddie keeps calling me that.
She was like I want Wednesdayhair and she had hair.
It's like short.
I'm like you can't haveWednesday hair.
No, she's not right now.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
But you look like.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Wednesday my sleep hair like it's braided, like all
the way it's not French braided, I don't know how to do that To
the top so I can sleep and I'mlike I'm actually feeling this.
Look like I've been going outin public with it.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, I think it's funny.
You're like I don't dress upfor Halloween, I'm like, but you
look like Wednesday today andit's great.
Thanks, great, why not?
What is going on in NashvilleTennessee?
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Okay, guys, we got an apartment.
Yay, I think the last time Ileft you I was going to look at
them.
We looked at a lot and we foundthe one, the one, one Like
she's the one.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
The one one.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
She's the one.
This apartment is a bit of astretch.
Okay, like I had an option ofone that was a little bit cheap
and it was still nice, but itwasn't as updated.
And then I had one that waslike the top of our budget but
literally Taren, like it hadeverything I wanted.
(38:35):
It looks the way I want.
And I kept going back and forthand wrangling with myself and I
actually applied to the cheaperone and someone had beat me to
it by 30 minutes so I couldn'tsubmit and I was like that's my
sign, I'm going with the otherone, even though that cheaper
(38:55):
one ended up opening back up thenext day.
I was like no, I'm taking thatas a sign.
Yeah, it's there.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
And it's there and it's there.
But how do you get to a pointwhere you don't even have to go
back and like one was Taryn, onewasn't and you were going to go
with one that wasn't?
How do we this is theexistential question how do you
get to a point where you don'teven like fret, even though the
one that wasn't you was thislast month?
You know what this is, what I'mmeant to be.
(39:21):
How did I get there?
No, you didn't get there.
What I'm saying is how do you,in the future, like you would
have a sign where they it's likethe universe, whatever, took it
away from you?
Yeah, I did, I know.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I think it's to the.
I'm not to the point where I'vealways fully trust that it's
safe to go for what I want, youknow, or it feels I've always in
my family I'm the one who's alittle bit too much, or I do
everything way different.
I homeschool, I run a businessfrom home, like I do things a
lot differently, and so thatkind of came up with the
(39:57):
apartment search too.
Where I'm like is this too much.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, it's the manifest or thing, the too much
thing.
So it's funny that you thatthat's your wound.
I am looking forward to the daywhere you tell a story like
that and you're like this onewas Taryn and I grabbed it.
I didn't care if there wereones that were cheaper.
This is the one that was me.
You named one.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Taryn.
So now I know.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
And I knew.
When I was looking online I waslike that's the one baby.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
You knew, you knew, you felt it.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yeah, I mean it's always fear, especially with
money Like gosh.
100%, 100%.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
I'm beginning to think that a home is a place
where it's like do the splurgemy car, love my car.
I've had it for a while.
Um, scott wants me to get ridof Max.
I love him, thanks to Max.
But I should have gotten thesport engine and I didn't.
And this is like 10, 12 yearsago maybe.
But when I'm like, no, I don'twant to spend the extra blah,
blah, blah, I should have gottenthe freaking sport engine.
(40:58):
Why didn't I get the sportengine?
But you think in the momentyou're saving money.
But really, do I want to belike lead foot Louis?
Yes, why didn't I do that?
Yeah, you know, and I thinkabout that.
With a home, it's like, yeah,it's an extra fill in the blank,
but you're going to be livingin it and using it every single
day.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Right, my vibe, because you guys the cheaper one
.
The office didn't have a windowand I was like, oh well, I can
get lighting.
No, after living in this hotelthat we're in week two, we don't
really have like a.
You have one window.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
I'm guessing Cave, yeah, cave, yeah.
So I'm excited for you.
So interesting.
How about you?
So what's going on?
I just came back from Texas.
Yeah, anyone who knows, I livedin Austin for 15 years, went to
Baylor, but I was not in thoseareas, I was in Dallas.
(41:54):
I did not ignore you.
If you're like, you didn't tellme you're in Austin.
I wasn't.
I was in Dallas for aconference for pharmacy and
those beauty influencers theyjust make me so happy.
I love them.
So it was exciting to seeeveryone and Sumali, it was so
good to see you.
She listens to the rocks, tothe rocks Talks podcast.
She's in the community and shecame up and like oh my gosh, and
(42:15):

So, it was, it was fun to getin there, to get out there and
to travel, and you know I loveall that stuff.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
So that was good, it's your first conference this
year, like I feel, like it's somany in this year, I know.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
This is one I'm like okay, all right.
And then also Scott got wordthat he now can work from home,
so he is none too pleased and itstarts on Monday.
So pray for Baylor and I,because we now have to
transition back to him beinghome all the time.
Speaker 2 (42:49):

There's a time of year that Idon't think is the most
wonderful, and it's right now.
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Halloween time.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Hate it, stop it.
True, true, true, what?
Okay, there's a couple reasons.
I was the girl, so we didn'tcelebrate Halloween.
My family's from the Caribbean.
My parents grew up in a costal.
Halloween is not a holiday wecelebrate, and so we're
worshiping devils.
Right, exactly, and soliterally.
(01:45):
When I was in elementary school, when there was a Halloween
party, I'd have to go to thelibrary, which is okay because I
like to read.
At the time, I read a lot, butthat's how I'd spend it.
There was one other girl whodidn't, for a little while too,
and I'd see her there.
But yeah, so there's that.
But really, and it's fine, I'vedressed up in my adulthood, not
like the sexy whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh, rock, jingles and bunny.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think I dressed up once For Jazzercise.
I did.
I dressed up as a throwbackJazzercise instructor and have I
ever told you this story?
Okay, because I thought it wasgoing to be great.
Okay, so I thought it wasamazing.
The what is it?
The Unitar, that's up the buttand everything.
Yes, and I went and I gotleggings and I got leg warmers
(02:30):
and I get up and the headband.
I get up there to teach, like,okay, the Halloween class and
everyone's there.
First of all, leg warmers arefreaking hot.
Okay, to me, jazzercise classand leg warmers is a bad.
I had to take those off.
But the worst part was this Igot, because I did talk to I got
the Jazzercise, like what dothey call it?
The Unitar, the?
(02:51):
Unitar is it Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I get tired, I guess.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Lea Tard, I got it from an instructor who'd been
teaching back then.
She still had it, so it hadJazzercise, literally, on it.
Okay, but here's the issue.
I wanted to match it and it waslike a burgundy, it's like a
grayish color and like this navyblue, and I wanted to match it.
So I got brown leggings.
Well, you know what color myskin is?
(03:15):
Brown, right.
And then you turn around andyou're wearing these brown shiny
leggings that look like yourskin tone.
It literally looks like yourass is out.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So you're wearing a song and you're Jazzercise class
.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So I'm like I can't turn around.
I'm so sorry.
It's like I wouldn't turnaround the whole class because
I'm also up on a podium, like ona stage, and I'm like I am not
showing this huge.
It was in this like gymnasiumauditorium, like like gym.
I'm like I am not showing it onmy butt.
I am so sorry.
Yeah, that's my story.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That's sad.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Why didn't you go with yellow, like I was thinking
, yellow, I don't know, I don'tknow, I don't know, I don't know
, and then but I?
What I really don't like aboutthis time of year is the fact
that I don't like scary movies,and I think it is actually
triggering and an emotional andabuse that I'm sitting here
(04:13):
watching TV shows, having a goodtime, and they throw on a scary
commercial with no warningabout some scary movie.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I cannot stand that.
So, guys, I love scary movies.
I love this time of year.
I'm the complete opposite ofyou.
I don't actually dress up,though, but if I am watching
like a show and a nice show,having a good evening, and they
pop in Megan or some creepylittle girl out of nowhere, like
no, you, just you ruined it I'mgoing to turn it off.
(04:43):
That wasn't in the mood.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I'm right there and they've been doing that lately,
and so I start singing.
It's kind of like what do youknow?
Like I got to get it throughthe movie.
I close my eyes and I'm likebecause it's just, I don't like
that stuff in my head.
Yeah, anyway, hi.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Hello, good morning.
Good morning.
Roxanne doesn't like Halloween,so that's why she's always
singing Christmas tunes the most.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
What?
Thank goodness Costco is withme and they're already doing
like Christmas all the way.
Okay, so you're Christmas tree,christmas gifts, you're all the
things they're out there onCostco.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I do.
You know.
We're not bringing ourChristmas tree with us here to
Nashville, so I need a new tree.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yes, you do.
Well, costco has them.
I'm glad we started with thehighs and the lows of this time
of the season because, well, Ialso need just a quick, quick
shout out the day we'rerecording this is the day the
new in sync song fully dropped,so if you haven't listened to it
yet, better place take a listen.
Okay, all right, love you andthank me.
I'm going to go through itbefore now so I can go through
(05:44):
times.
Okay, so I've been having a lotof conversations lately yeah, a
lot of them with, when I like,with people in different aspects
of the network marketing,direct selling industry, and
when I say that I don't onlymean my clients, I don't, I also
mean like the corporate side ofthings.
I just came back from aconvention, had so much fun in
(06:07):
Dallas for where I was at thepharmacy convention and I did
like focus groups and stuff withthem, but also talking to top,
top leaders in companies thatyou are who are listening, are
with, and overall the sentimentis times be tough.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, typically when the end, when, like the, there's
a lag in the market, well,network marketing shoots up.
But we have this thing calledyou know you, for if you listen
to rocks talks podcast, I'vecalled it the lockdown right
2020.
It had such a big surge forpeople who are in direct selling
(06:58):
and the companies that theyhave not had an opportunity to
like.
You know, when everything goesup, what is it?
What it's like what goes up mustcome down right, and so I feel
like the down is so much granderbecause the up was just so
quick.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Skyrocketed up.
It's like do you feel likeright now it's kind of trying to
balance it out Like it's likewhoop and we don't have the
support to continue.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So it's like yes, someone said and I thought it
was great Like this is thepruning season for network
marketing.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, pruning, that's off Literally what was going
into my head.
Yes, it's like the people whowere in it to just make quick
money did great in lockdown,cool, awesome.
Now it's like are you in it forreal or not?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Mm-hmm and the people who joined, thinking that that
really is oh my gosh, it isgetting rich quick are having a
reckoning of do I want to dothis, if it's work or not, and I
think the people who were therebefore are forgetting what it
was like before 2020.
And so it's like you have thisamnesia.
You don't remember anythingbefore 2020 and you're having a
(08:10):
hard time as well, too, Mm-hmm.
Problem with that is this is abelief industry.
It is so reliant on your belief, and we're not gonna sit here
and be like okay, if you justbelieve, if you have some
positivity, it's all gonna workout.
You know what I mean?
I'm not saying positivity is abad thing.
I'm just saying that I'm notgonna sell you, it's all gonna
(08:33):
work out.
Yeah, it's not through.
Yeah, Gotta put a motor behindthat positive video, okay?
Yeah, All right, your shit doesstink.
Okay, Like it doesn't.
Anyhow, I got the song in myhead but so I think it's good to
talk about in like real talk.
And I will say I'm hearing somepeople like, oh, times are hard
, but you know, my way is theway and I just we're not really
(08:57):
here to tell you our way is theway.
We're just here to give yousome real world.
Like if you are looking to makemoney right now and really most
people in the world are lookingto make money when you say,
like, even those who don't workmarried someone who made money
for them so they don't have tomake money like everyone, we do
need money when it comes down toit.
(09:19):
Makes the world go around, makesthe world go around.
And so if you're finding that,I guess the first thing I would
say is actually this is not atime to think oh my gosh,
network marketing, all thosethings people say about it like
they were right.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
It's dying.
Oh my gosh, Like I think we'restill gonna stand with our stay
ups.
We did the is network marketingdying earlier in the season and
we're gonna stick with our stayups.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, we stand by that.
It is not dying.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It is dying.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It's pruning.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
it's changing, it's coming.
Well, we all had to adjustafter we left the house and took
our masks off.
Network marketing is doing thesame thing In a big way.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
And so, when we've talked about well, let's dive
into the what to do.
Okay, so, like I guess I wantyou to know, like, if you want
to make money in networkmarketing, if you're like, I
don't wanna give this up, I lovethe environment, I love the
people, it's done things for me,I love the product.
Heck, this is our, these arethe things we're gonna give you
(10:24):
and, honestly, this is notsomething we're just gonna talk
about one and done, because Ithink that would be
short-sighted, because there's a.
This is like your time to work,it's pruning season, and
pruning season doesn't mean justmean like we're cutting off the
dead weight.
It also means that if you arehere, you can better yourself
and make things happen.
(10:44):
You can prune and evolve.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I like this, I really like this topic.
So it's like we're giving youguys actual tips on how like you
can make this work right now.
We're not just gonna come onhere and be like oh folks,
social media, social media is sogreat, Like we kind of gotta go
a bit broader today.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
We do, and also I wanna invite you to share this
with anyone else that you knowthat's struggling with us.
Okay, and I think one of thereasons it's been on my heart
like I've been wrestling Tarynwas like we should talk about
and we're gonna talk aboutyou'll see, it's coming.
And something was wrestlingwith me and I think what was
(11:22):
wrestling me over the last weekis the fact that people okay,
let me just take a pause.
We talked about MRR recentlyand I've talked about it a few
times on Facebook or Instagramlives and I always look at like,
look at the clues, or why arepeople doing this?
Why is this thing picking up?
(11:42):
And it's because people needmoney.
It's desperation.
I know that half the people whoare running around doing it
wouldn't be doing it if youweren't desperate or you felt
desperate like you needed tomake money.
Your paychecks, usually gettingfrom your company, have gone
down dramatically and you'relooking for other ways and so we
wanna give you.
(12:02):
We can't just sit here and gookay, that thing is whacked,
don't do it.
We gotta give you anopportunity or some options that
well, better options at fiveyears down the road you can
sleep at night instead of justsaying don't do it.
Yeah, so number one is thisy'all, if you still want to work
(12:23):
your network marketing business, focus on your products.
Now, I know this probably goesagainst a lot of things you hear
.
Leave with the business.
But the truth of the matter isdo you want dollars in your
pocket, like the next time youget paid which some of you is
daily, some of you is monthly,some of you is weekly then focus
(12:45):
on selling the products.
Because here's the thing One ofthe things about network
marketing that can grade you atdifferent times is when you have
a team, you can't control otherpeople.
You can't.
You can't control how much theyput into their business,
whether they decide there.
I know, like someone recentlywho just said, peace out, like
it happens all the time.
You can't control that.
(13:05):
But what you can control isyour relationship with your
customers and you can controlthe amount of time you put into
sharing about the products youbelieve in.
So start there.
That will give you an instantboost to your paycheck.
And the other thing, yeah, andthe other thing about that is
this like, don't get it twisted.
(13:26):
People who buy your product candefinitely turn into people who
want to sell it as well too.
But the other reason I tell youto focus on the product is
because see this time and timeagain when you're kind of down
in the dumps because your checkhas gone down or your team has
been dissipating, you cannotauthentically go to someone and
(13:47):
say, oh my gosh, you shouldtotally join.
It's amazing.
I have belief in this, it'sdone this, and that because your
belief is shattered right now.
I love that you can't, becausethat's integrity.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But what I'm saying is, ifthat's the case, then talk about
the thing you do believe in andyou believe in the products.
Odds are, you're using them ona regular basis.
(14:08):
Lean into that and sell that.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
So cut, literally prune off what you were doing to
build a team right now.
That's okay, you can come backto it.
Focus on the products.
That's very actionable.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I know it's controversial, but whatever we
don't care.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That's what we're here for.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's right.
You want to make money rightnow.
Focus on selling those products.
With that, though, it does meanwell.
It takes me to the next thing,which is like okay, it's time
for you to really do a timeaudit on what you're spending
your time on.
Literally stop spending yourtime on things that are not
going to directly make you money.
(14:50):
Get back to the basics of yet.
You got to talk to people.
Yes, you got to check in withyour customers, because when you
do that, they're more likely topurchase again.
Yes, there's more.
What other things, taryn,because I know that you have a
couple.
You've got to send your emails?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yes, you do, probably .
Probably AKA you should I don'tlike saying should, but show up
on social media.
Show up on social media.
Maybe for you that's posting astory, maybe for you it's
chatting with some people on theDMs.
You can choose where you wantto show up, where you know it's
going to generate income, butyou've got to be doing those
(15:30):
things you do.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
You're probably saying, but okay, if I'm making,
there are things that you weredoing right now that aren't
directly making you money, likeI'm spending all this time on
Canva creating things I'm doing,there are things that aren't
making you money.
Listen, here's my thing.
I'm not saying they're notimportant to your business.
A well-rounded business,whether it's a corporate
business or not, has a marketingdepartment, has all these other
(15:53):
aspects to it, but if it'ssomething that you don't
physically, personally need todo to move the business forward,
then you need to outsource itor let it go.
So, like, for example, if youare selling product, guess what?
You're the one who needs to betalking to the person about it
at some point.
You are an essential worker.
If we go back to lockdown, mysister was an essential worker.
(16:14):
You're an essential worker.
You still have to go to work.
She still had to go to thehospital.
They're like, oh no, you don'thave to go, she still had to go.
Okay, so that is your essentialwork Creating your social media
plan or creating, except forshowing up live or DMing people.
You can outsource it.
(16:35):
This is what I'm trying to say.
You can outsource that.
You can outsource that easily.
It's what we do with ourclients.
That's what we do for ourclients.
We literally either fully dotheir social media or social
templates club.
You get the templates if you dowant to spend time on it, but
y'all, this is the time to go.
Listen, let me find a way sothat I don't have to be doing
(16:56):
that part, so I can go okay,when I'm selling this water
bottle, I know I'm going to make$20 off of every water bottle
I'm going to sell, so I'm goingto focus on selling this water
bottle.
I guarantee you when you dothat, the time you spend focused
on selling this will make upfor the money you're spending to
outsource it.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, and outsource it too.
I like to kind of say you guys,there's so many tools and
services out there that makeyour things quicker.
So I know you gave the exampleof like we fully do someone's
social media, but there's alsooptions out there where, yes,
can you get templates, emailtemplates, social media
templates, can you use differentAI tools.
(17:38):
We're not going to go into thattoday, but there's other things
that can speed up your processbecause, okay, you know you need
to show up on social media.
How can you make it faster andmore efficient?
Can you repurpose some of yourold content that you posted
before?
Maybe change the backgroundcolor on Canva, or maybe you
(17:59):
posted about something and youdid a whole graphic.
Could you get on Stories andshow your face and talk about it
?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yes, yes, waste to speed up that process.
That does not mean I'm going totake a full Canva course and
then y'all, I love Canva, butthere's too much in Canva.
If you thinking it like, pleasedon't learn Canva right now,
yeah, please don't.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
There is a lot.
It used to be so much easier tolearn, but now it's a whole
tool.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
But it's a whole tool , but it also means like it
might be like right now I'mdoing social flow right, and
social flow is we're literally,for three weeks, people who know
they need to get their emailfunnels going.
I really am theiraccountability and their coach
so they get the stuff done.
That's what it is.
So they know in three weeksthey're going to really get it
done and they're not going to belike, oh, one day I need to do
(18:43):
it.
Like, literally, it might bethat you need a coach or an
accountability partner to getthe stuff done.
That's going to speed up theprocess.
So you have it forever.
There's different ways to do it.
Yeah, so set it and forget it.
Set it and forget it.
It could be like you saidtemplates with social emails, we
give them templates.
Can you believe it's almostbeen a year?
I can't believe that withsocial emails.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Oh yes.
I'm like social templates clubis more than a year.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, but social emails there it is and you have
the templates.
You fill in the blanks, likeMad Libs.
You're too young to know, MadLibs, but it was a thing and
you're good to go.
So use the tools that are goingto save you time.
Like you said, Taryn, speed upthe process so you can focus on
the things that are making money.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, and I think it's safe to say here is so
maybe social media does take youmore time, but you know it
results in more connections andsales.
So, being okay with I'm goingto take my time that I was maybe
using for something else,talking with my team, blah, blah
(19:46):
and I'm going to move it overhere and not necessarily shrink
the time, like give it the timeit needs, so that's okay too.
You're reevaluating and puttingit where it needs to and
assessing like does this needmore time, less time?
Do I need to find somethingthat makes me faster?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, really, thinking through it all,
Absolutely, and then we shouldlike stop talking to your team.
We don't mean that, but we domean it.
You know this.
You've been heard this Ifyou're not at a certain level in
your business, your time shouldbe 80% of your time should be
spent on your own business and20% or less should be spent on
fostering your team.
Often, when we get a fewrecruits, we want to just focus
(20:24):
on them because that's easierthan having to get out there and
do the income producingactivities.
That's a really good reminder,terrin, to assess that,
especially depending on whereyour team is.
And if your team is shrunk,that is a good indication to
move over to focus on yougrowing your own business.
The next one is this you knowwe Oftentimes, when you talked,
(20:49):
when you were talking about,when you were being talked to
about joining the business, oras you talked to people about
joining the business, you talkedabout multiple streams of
income.
You probably even quoted WarrenBuffett and said he said you
need to have six streams ofincome and it's like this is why
you should join.
It's another stream of income?
Oh, seven, it could be seven,seven streams, 25 streams of
(21:11):
income.
But then you join networkmarketing and it's like a whole
community and there's all thesethings and it's a shiny toy and,
as a result, did you focus onother streams of income.
I'm curious.
Maybe it was making more moneythan the other and you said let
me just fooey on that one, I'llcome over here.
We all do it right.
You focus on the thing thesqueaky wheel.
(21:32):
Squeaky wheel might be thething that's squeaky because
money's coming out.
I want you to ask yourself howmany streams of income do you
have?
If you have your nine to fivebusiness working nine to nine, I
love her.
Or that and your networkmarketing company, or that and
(21:54):
your sugar daddy, those arestill only three, at best two,
one, depending on what you have,there's at least four or three
or four more that you can beproviding for yourself.
So I think we should talk aboutsome of them.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, I would love to hear some of the ideas, because
this one I'm a little hesitantto, but this is coming from me,
a little projector, because Ifeel like it's like pushing more
hustle on people.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I don't think that's what you're doing at all, but
it's like you need to have more.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
You need to do this.
If this one's not working, getanother one to me.
I might feel so exhausting andit makes me want to cry.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well, yeah, don't cry , then that's a good call-outs.
Let me throw out some andyou'll see some variety in them
and they might be like oh, thatsounds like fun.
Remember, we forget when wejoin network marketing why we
joined, and often it's not to bethe top dog in your company and
make a trillion dollars.
I'm not telling you to leaninto any of these to a point
(22:51):
where you're huffling, to apoint where you're like, oh my
gosh, now this is the stress.
I'm not saying become aninfluencer because, honestly,
influence that is stressful.
They are always on, seriously,they're always on and if they're
, gone.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
They're always on.
And then they're talking abouttheir mental health.
They're like sorry, I was goneat a breakdown.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm like oh but if they're gone for more than like
a day, we're like where did theygo?
Like I, if I don't see a postfrom one of the influencers I'm
checking out like where is she?
I need some more information.
Show me another Amazon haul.
I need to see what's going on.
What happened to the house?
What am I buying?
They have a crumbie today.
I know, Come on, Show me thethings I don't really need, but
(23:30):
I want now.
Ok, we're not saying that.
One is this, truly y'all.
There's something purging aboutthis and I've been doing this
now for a few months.
My sister told me about it.
She's been doing it for years.
I'm like I'll try it.
I started doing it, I don'tremember what, anyhow, before
the wedding Poshmark.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Oh, yeah, my girlfriend does that.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
It's so funny.
So Poshmark is an opportunityfor you to take like clothes or
really household things orwhatever that you don't use
anymore.
You put them up on and otherpeople buy them Y'all.
It is so easy.
If you're a network marketer,this is super easy for you.
You'll be like oh, this is whatgood technology looks like, and
seriously it's.
I'm someone who hates sendingstuff.
(24:13):
They make it so easy for youbecause when someone buys it,
you literally just print off.
If you want or use the or thecode for the priority mail,
print it off, you put it in abox and you just put it in the
in the mailbox.
You drop it off.
I'm supposed to.
It's so easy.
And you make a little littleching ching, like yeah, why not
(24:35):
Like?
That?
One's easy.
And what I like about as well,too, is it's purging things that
maybe you don't need.
Now, scott always gives me ahard time.
He's like if it doesn't sellwithin a week, we're taking it
to Goodwill.
Somebody else needs it.
I'm like OK, but let me have myfun.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
But I'm the Scott in this scenario, Like let's just
write a good well.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, but that's an option, but it can find a home
with people and I've been ableto sell some things for people
Like, thank you so much.
I've been looking for that.
I'm like, yeah, so that's onethat you could do and truly you
could work it where you'remaking.
And again, I'm not saying youcould go all in if you want to,
but I literally just put somethings up, maybe make $20 a week
(25:14):
, and I'm like that was fun andfun extra 20 bucks, I can go get
my lunch.
Correct, correct, and when youthink about what you're not
making in your net or marketingbusiness, it might even that out
a little bit.
Yeah, you could put more thingson just as much you have in
what you put.
So the other one is usergenerated content, and I know
that's something that you'veheard me talk about on my
(25:37):
Instagram feed a bit lately.
I think there's a lot ofmisnomers about it and I think
also, again, if you're goingthrough the tension, let me just
do this and this might be fun.
That's, that's the intentionwe're putting out there, right?
So basically, we think aboutinfluence.
It's different from influencing.
User generated content isbasically a company let's use I
always use my Stanley waterbottle.
(25:57):
Ok, so basically, let's sayStanley are Stanley water
bottles.
Yes, Stanley is like I needsome more content.
I don't want to hire like an adagency and make it look all
like Superbowl commercial.
I want content that feelsrelatable.
So what they'll do is they willhire people, joe Smos, doesn't
(26:19):
matter how many followers.
And social media, taran.
So Roxanne Wilson and you, andthey'll say, hey, can you take a
picture with your Stanley waterbottle?
We'll pay you 15, 30.
So now it's five cents,depending on it, for for a
picture or video.
You do it, you send it off, youget your money.
(26:39):
That is what it is.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I like that.
That's fun.
We were talking about thisearlier this week and so I'm I'm
going to be delving into thisone.
Guys, I'm like, oh, I could dothis this.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yay, I, I told you and I told my sister and my and
my husband Look at that, that'sa fun name because my sister,
because of what she does shecan't like.
She has a private Instagramaccount but she always loves
doing something like that.
She's like this is a bummer,listen, you don't have to post
it on your social media.
Doesn't have to go in yoursocial media at all, they just
(27:11):
put it on theirs.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yes, see that cooler, yeah, and so I just did some
free, user generated content forthis house company last night
and I'm like, wait a second, Ineed to be rethinking who I
shout out on my social.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
No, seriously, seriously.
And what I found to is I knowthat when the when you do it
like, you can put it on yourlike.
If you love it, you can shoutthem out and tag them on your
page and that can lead to moredirect business.
But what's interesting is Idon't remember what's
interesting with something coolabout it.
Oh, I remember if you thinkabout when you go to Amazon I
(27:50):
don't know about you, but I loveto look at the reviews and then
it's obsessed, right.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It messes with my head.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yes, and then they have videos and you're like, how
do these like?
They have videos that are kindof like you call them influence
or videos.
No, those are user generatedcontent, videos that they hired
people to do and put on there.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, and I do appreciate when it has their
special clothes, because thenyou can really see the quality
of the clothes and you're like Igot backfired on you.
That looks like crap.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
But thank you because you did the Lord's work so I
didn't have to do it.
Yeah, so that's one way and youcan just have fun with it.
Like, literally, it's about youhaving fun and just adding
extra streams.
In that way, I have a fun one.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Tell us Walking dogs Like, oh yeah, I love dogs, you
could do fetch Rover.
What are the other ones?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Rover, Rover yeah, yeah, you know that Rover.
Scott did that during COVID.
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
He was working from home and he needed, like you had
, to get there and walk and Iwas like, listen, you should
just get on fetch.
I'm going to put whenever it'syou should, I put him on, I'm
going to put you on fetch andhe's like all right, fine, and
he did it.
He walked a dog five days aweek because one of our friends
in San Diego she did, she waswalking dogs like crazy during
COVID and he walked like a bigold dog, like a Rottweiler, and
(29:09):
and, yeah, five days a week he'dwalk for an hour, the dog for
an hour.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Well, and you guys even those are runners that
listen, you can.
People pay you to run their dog.
Yeah go for a 30 minute jog andwear that little puppy out Wear
that puppy out.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
So that is another way you can do it.
I mean, listen, you could dolike Uber Eats and stuff like
that, but these I think are lessstressful, personally, yeah,
you could.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
You could do shipped Is that what it's called when
you go get their groceries.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
There's actually another app.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
So my cousin did this one.
I think it was called likePapa's Pals, or you actually,
like people in need can hire youto come help, like maybe you
bring them grocery shopping oryou drive them to their doctor's
appointment or maybe they needhelp with dinner.
You can kind of pick and chooseand you go help these people
who don't necessarily have likea community that they can rely
(30:02):
on for help.
So my cousin did that for alittle while and she loved it.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
That's so cool.
See, that's really special.
I like that.
There's all these differentways that you can get out there,
and you know what I like aboutit, too, is it actually
introduces you to other peopleand other things.
All of these things we'vementioned.
It's introducing you todifferent things.
The other thing I like aboutall of these things is it's
(30:28):
going to help you with the nextthing you can do right now,
which is invest in yourself.
So, even all these streams ofincome we've mentioned, are you
getting out of your comfort zoneor your little zone of you're
just focused on your networkmarketing business and that zone
it's showing you new products,it's exposing you to new people,
to new things, and you aregoing to find yourself, because
(30:54):
I'm here to tell you that if youwant to make money right now
and also so the seeds for thefuture, you need to figure out
who the F you are.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
It's true, no matter what darn business you are in,
no matter what you are doing,you need to figure out who you
are, and it changes, andespecially if you're a woman
listening to this, there'ssomething about women.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
There's so many great things about women.
Let's be real.
One of the things about us,though, is that we are so
focused on caring for the otherpeople in our lives whether it
be our family, whether it bework, whether it be friends that
we forget who we are.
We make a lot of compromisesand we forget who we are for the
good of our circle.
(31:39):
That's all well and good I'mnot judging that but there comes
a reckoning.
There comes a point in timethat you are going to have to
figure out who the hell you are,and I see it all the time when
network marketers come to me andthey show me their social media
page and I'm like okay, you'renot your company, because I know
you lived before you joinedyour company.
(32:01):
And yet all I see is yourcompany who are you?
And they start regurgitatingthese words that are clearly
they.
I could have just picked uptheir companies, their company's
website, and I'm like you'remore than that.
Figure out who the F you are.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah what I see in like our backend.
When people come on with us forsocial teams and we do their
social media, we have them fillout some extensive not extensive
, but like onboarding questions.
We want to get to know them,we're kind of taking over their
voice and we're helprepresenting them on Instagram.
But when I see these formsfilled out like a lot of women
(32:41):
and this is by no means callinganybody out or saying anything
mean they don't know.
They don't even know how toanswer the questions.
Like the question will be likewhat are your pillars for social
media?
What do you want to talk abouton social media?
My company, my products?
Yeah, no, what do you you theperson want to talk about?
Are you obsessed withexercising and working out and
(33:06):
staying healthy?
Are you passionate abouthelping other moms read with
their kids?
Like I'm just kind of throwingsome ideas, like really pulling.
What do you like, not just whatdo you sell?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
It's one of the things and like.
And then I want to say Terrinsaid we're not picking on anyone
and it's something that I sawas a jazzer size instructor
because, believe it or not,jazzer instructor I was with
women who did not know like Iit's a, it is such a female
thing.
But it's what I love aboutnetwork marketing and it's one
of the reasons that I coachnetwork marketers.
It's less about coaching aboutsocial media, and it's really
(33:45):
about help and I tell peoplethis whole time.
I help people figure out whothey are.
I help you find your groove sothat you can find your voice.
And once you find your voice,whether you want to be a network
marketer or you want to do yourown thing, it gives me such joy
Because then you come to lifeand I see you doing and figure
out who you are.
And it's a journey and, likeyou said with some of our social
(34:06):
teams clients, they come in andthey're not really sure and
it's really.
We work through them and we getyou know at a certain stage and
I'm talking like nine months in, where I'm constantly saying
the same thing.
They're like, okay, but whatare?
What is where, what, and we'reforming their social media based
on who they are in that moment.
And then the light bulb turnson and they're like this is what
I really care about.
(34:27):
This is what really lights meup, Like great, let's lean into
that and that is what we'regoing to talk about.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It's something that you said it's so easy to show
them social media.
Then, Cause you're just you'reexcited to talk about what you
like.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Because it's authentic and it's what you said
.
This is something that's acrossthe board.
If you are a small businessowner, you deal with this.
I deal with this.
Taryn, you deal with yourbusiness.
It's a normal thing thateveryone has to figure out.
But when you join networkmarketing because it's business
in a box, it almost tells youyou don't have to figure that
out.
So you go and go oh great, Idon't have to think, I can just
(34:59):
do what they say and it's likeno, that's not the case.
Actually, if you want to besuccessful, you got to figure
out who the hell you are, or whothe F you are, or who you are.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Yeah yeah, and I think back to like I used to
struggle with this.
So people would be like, oh,taryn, tell us a bit about
yourself.
And I'm a wife, I'm a mom, andit's like, no, no, I mean you
are, you are those things.
But who is Taryn?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, you know Mm-hmm?
Those are aspects of my life,like who is the actual being,
(35:28):
and I'm like, oh gosh, well,give me a second to rethink that
answer Exactly.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
But answer yourself that yes and give yourself time.
Some of you just naturally yourhuman design.
The answer is gonna just dropimmediately.
Some of you is gonna take awhile and you're gonna be
thinking a lot of differentthings.
Don't judge that, don't judgethe feeling, but just lean into
when it drops and you feel likethis is who I am, and then
explore that, play around withthat Mm-hmm, we're gonna play
(35:55):
around with it with you.
By the way, we are, we are thisis not the only conversation
we're gonna have about this,because I think there's a lot of
depth that goes into figuringout who the F you are.
And the beauty of that is, onceyou do like you said, taryn,
it's so easy, but also it makessense.
(36:16):
And as someone who's looking atyour social media or talking to
you in general or was in yoursphere, like, oh, what she's
doing, what she's promoting,makes sense because I know who
she is and it will help youtremendously, and so we are
going to lean into that.
We might smatter in otherthings too.
So you're like, oh my gosh,we're gonna help you get through
(36:37):
the next three months Happyfinal quarter y'all, but we
really do want to see yousucceed, and so we're gonna
spend some good time on this andhelp you out.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yes, I'm super excited about this.
We are gonna do a little bit ofa series that I've been mapping
out behind the scenes for youguys, but we really wanted to
shift into, like, why are wetalking about this, Instead of
giving tips that Google couldjust give you?
We're gonna dig deep, maybemake you a little uncomfortable,
(37:09):
but have you walked away withknowing who the heck you are?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yes, yes, and if you finish the series and you don't
know who you are, it's okay.
You're not ahead, you're notbehind.
Exactly who you're supposed tobe.
Love it.
You look like Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Oh my gosh, Maddie keeps calling me that.
She was like I want Wednesdayhair and she had hair.
It's like short.
I'm like you can't haveWednesday hair.
No, she's not right now.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
But you look like.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Wednesday my sleep hair like it's braided, like all
the way it's not French braided, I don't know how to do that To
the top so I can sleep and I'mlike I'm actually feeling this.
Look like I've been going outin public with it.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, I think it's funny.
You're like I don't dress upfor Halloween, I'm like, but you
look like Wednesday today andit's great.
Thanks, great, why not?
What is going on in NashvilleTennessee?
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Okay, guys, we got an apartment.
Yay, I think the last time Ileft you I was going to look at
them.
We looked at a lot and we foundthe one, the one, one Like
she's the one.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
The one one.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
She's the one.
This apartment is a bit of astretch.
Okay, like I had an option ofone that was a little bit cheap
and it was still nice, but itwasn't as updated.
And then I had one that waslike the top of our budget but
literally Taren, like it hadeverything I wanted.
(38:35):
It looks the way I want.
And I kept going back and forthand wrangling with myself and I
actually applied to the cheaperone and someone had beat me to
it by 30 minutes so I couldn'tsubmit and I was like that's my
sign, I'm going with the otherone, even though that cheaper
(38:55):
one ended up opening back up thenext day.
I was like no, I'm taking thatas a sign.
Yeah, it's there.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
And it's there and it's there.
But how do you get to a pointwhere you don't even have to go
back and like one was Taryn, onewasn't and you were going to go
with one that wasn't?
How do we this is theexistential question how do you
get to a point where you don'teven like fret, even though the
one that wasn't you was thislast month?
You know what this is, what I'mmeant to be.
(39:21):
How did I get there?
No, you didn't get there.
What I'm saying is how do you,in the future, like you would
have a sign where they it's likethe universe, whatever, took it
away from you?
Yeah, I did, I know.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I think it's to the.
I'm not to the point where I'vealways fully trust that it's
safe to go for what I want, youknow, or it feels I've always in
my family I'm the one who's alittle bit too much, or I do
everything way different.
I homeschool, I run a businessfrom home, like I do things a
lot differently, and so thatkind of came up with the
(39:57):
apartment search too.
Where I'm like is this too much.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, it's the manifest or thing, the too much
thing.
So it's funny that you thatthat's your wound.
I am looking forward to the daywhere you tell a story like
that and you're like this onewas Taryn and I grabbed it.
I didn't care if there wereones that were cheaper.
This is the one that was me.
You named one.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Taryn.
So now I know.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
And I knew.
When I was looking online I waslike that's the one baby.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
You knew, you knew, you felt it.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yeah, I mean it's always fear, especially with
money Like gosh.
100%, 100%.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
I'm beginning to think that a home is a place
where it's like do the splurgemy car, love my car.
I've had it for a while.
Um, scott wants me to get ridof Max.
I love him, thanks to Max.
But I should have gotten thesport engine and I didn't.
And this is like 10, 12 yearsago maybe.
But when I'm like, no, I don'twant to spend the extra blah,
blah, blah, I should have gottenthe freaking sport engine.
(40:58):
Why didn't I get the sportengine?
But you think in the momentyou're saving money.
But really, do I want to belike lead foot Louis?
Yes, why didn't I do that?
Yeah, you know, and I thinkabout that.
With a home, it's like, yeah,it's an extra fill in the blank,
but you're going to be livingin it and using it every single
day.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Right, my vibe, because you guys the cheaper one
.
The office didn't have a windowand I was like, oh well, I can
get lighting.
No, after living in this hotelthat we're in week two, we don't
really have like a.
You have one window.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
I'm guessing Cave, yeah, cave, yeah.
So I'm excited for you.
So interesting.
How about you?
So what's going on?
I just came back from Texas.
Yeah, anyone who knows, I livedin Austin for 15 years, went to
Baylor, but I was not in thoseareas, I was in Dallas.
(41:54):
I did not ignore you.
If you're like, you didn't tellme you're in Austin.
I wasn't.
I was in Dallas for aconference for pharmacy and
those beauty influencers theyjust make me so happy.
