ah it is a holiday here so we are doing a q a that is right a q a so that is question and answer you
ask the questions i give the answers and uh you guys are welcome to ask questions about
whatever you would like i'm trying to do these once a week so people that have questions are um
actually getting them from like the proverbial i guess horse's mouth is what we would call it so uh
first things first you guys can win stuff here's how you do it you subscribe to the youtube channel
comment on the youtube video share this video or any of my videos into social media tagging myself
or my business page in it one person every single week is going to win something so there is that
and again this is q a so feel free to ask your questions oh my goodness why is everything
happening here right now all right so i i will start off uh by saying that uh in the last
two weeks this is the very first two weeks of change makers den um the last two weeks
have been extraordinary so if you are in changemaker's den please give a holler
say what it's meant to you this uh changemaker's den is is really it's my
it's my best it's my best it's uh and that's not just like cool martha's doing really cool
stuff in there no like it's if you look at hbr hbr is the system right hbr is
here are the gears and all of the things attached to the gears that then create a system for you to
be able to work these multiple income streams create and then work and then scale right these
multiple income streams from home okay so that's the system change maker's den is like grease
right greasing the wheels or i think of it as a cupcake i think of it as the icing on
top of the cupcake it's the thing that makes it go it's the thing that like
will put rocket boosters on this already existing system so uh hbr is the system itself
changemaker's den puts rocket boosters on that system those of you that are in there already
know the business it's insane it's insane it's like my favorite thing ever but go ahead and ask
questions so i'm not sitting here just chatting with you here um andrea changemaker's den has been
bomb i gained back time i used to not have and made income at the same time you literally walking
us through exactly what to do is so time-saving and helpful too that's the thing you guys um
they're workshop style so you're not learning something and then doing it in your own time
we're learning stuff and doing it at the same time so for those of you that just feel so busy where
a common complaint that i hear from people about their own situation in their own lives
and their own inability to build business is i don't have time to do this i don't
have time to do this okay well set aside the time for the actual intensive right
and during that you get it done so it's magic it's like you learn about it and you're doing it
at the same time and then you're making money like i think andrea made money the very next day if not
the same day on one of the intensives it's crazy guys it's crazy if you're not there you're silly
i'm just saying um melanie good morning from sunny iowa oh i'm so glad you guys are getting
some sun there hey sherry and hello cindy good morning to you sherry's so much good stuff and
the change makers done i have tons of notes it's crazy guys crazy um if you are not in it yet and
you want to be in it what you can do is go to uh with martha.com it's my website up at the very top
if you're on the mobile side it'll be one of those you know you'll see the three lines so
you'll click that and then the change maker's den is on the navigation bar itself if you're on the
desktop it'll just say change maker's den click in there and go ahead and join and watch everything
just kaboom andrea happy monday michelle morning blessings love love hbr hbr is legit
hbr is that stuff man cindy the training in there is over the top knowing the system
hbr is great and needed cmd is pure fire these are my these are my two that i'm really doubling down
on guys like hbr and cmd are like those are my babies those they're like my little twin babies
besides my human baby she's my real baby right andrea revenue coming in from my journal small
but steady there it is no one has time to prioritize the important stuff there it is
andrea yep suzette new to the den in both sessions were full of aha moments nice denise good morning
martha good morning to you debris nailed it vonda good morning to everyone in the martha verse well
guys what questions do you have if you don't have questions i can pop out of here no big deal but
what questions do you have i would love to be able to answer something before i head off to the gym
andrea my community is growing like crazy i am doing the hbr things yeah but still so quiet not
a lot of comments additional tips for encouraging people to connect engage and comment yeah so a
great thing to be thinking about as you're growing your group is asking those open-ended questions
asking questions about things that because you know your people based on who your people
are you're going to know your people very well and so you know what they already kind of want
and so ask open-ended questions regarding those things you know sometimes people feel like they
have to ask questions about things they don't know about so whenever i was uh whenever i was younger
everybody was telling me i should be a lawyer okay like i i was i was in a bunch of you know
kid lawyer stuff like i just i can present an argument right um and an important thing whenever
you're a lawyer is you don't ever ask a question you don't know the answer to that has stuck with
me i don't ask questions i don't know the answer to so a lot of people in groups they feel like
they have to ask questions they don't know the answer to no ask questions you do know the answer
to and allow them to elaborate allow them to say right um and also let's not lose you know sight
of the fact that they're not just there for this like tiny thing that you're teaching they're
there for community and so there's the teaching but then there's also the entertainment concept
right so like the the funny stuff whether it's a funny thing that happened in your life or it's a
funny meme or a funny gif or whatever make sure you bring levity to it as well because that's
community creation right and uh and so those would be two things i would those would be go-to
things that i would do is making sure that your ass ask questions that you already know the
answer to and let them remind you that that's the thing right and then um bring in levity and comedy
andrea if you're doing that and they're still shy so to speak you may want to make sure you have
the right people in the group if the group isn't responding to what you're doing um they may not be
you may have accidentally brought in some of the wrong people um because they're not responding
if they were the right people they might start responding there's another thing that you can do
is you can have some friends um respond on posts because if none of the posts are getting anything
there might be that situation of everybody's waiting for the first one to say something
that's very very true and in 75 of the personality types that is 75. um that's what they'll do only
one person only one type of the personality types is going to actually be the early adapter right
it's going to be the person that says something first and you may not have very many of those
in the group if that makes sense and so what i would do is i would have some friends
like just ask friends to comment on some stuff two or three friends comment
and then see if everybody else starts joining in that's where you're really gauging if you have the
right people in the group or if you brought them in under the right pretense if that makes sense
um let's see here let me keep going with some questions we're at nine minutes cool emily i'm
in hbr and i am loving it but i am so stuck on my bat signal and so wait and so i feel so stuck
on moving forward in the program i feel like i need a one-on-one or would change makers help
me move forward please help emily bat signal it would be a one-on-one that would be a one-on-one
with a business strategist or a one-on-one with me but a business strategist would be able to
take care of you just fine as well that signal really really when you're working within that
the most helpful thing is going to be you talking to one other individual change maker's den is less
about bat signal and it's more about we're growing and we're doing this thing right so getting the
bat signal down so good for that to be a one on one okay i'm not even going to say anything aside
from that if you've already done the bat signal workshop and you're still like uh what and you
most people here's the thing here's like a true fact okay
most people already kind of know their bat signal but they need to hear it from somebody else
they need to hear it reverberated through somebody else for it to be valid in themselves
and there's nothing wrong with that but that's how you get that is through a one-on-one
and also they would be able to tell you like my strategist because i train them they would be able
to say like okay well i would go i would go here i would take this angle with it or you know or
or drill down even further which is sometimes the case yeah best signal i'm so glad that you
detected that um that signal is the thing we we got to get that right before we move forward
melanie what is one piece of advice you would give your past self just starting a bit oh and
also by the way for you to sign up with a business strategist in case you don't know
i believe you do but in case you don't know go to with martha.com go to business strategists
at the top and choose a business strategist to be able to set up your time with
melanie what is one piece of advice you would give your past self just starting a business
i would tell myself don't be married to what you think this is going to look like
that would have shaved a lot of time a lot of time off of what i was doing because i i thought that
you know i knew what i was going to do and i knew how i was going to serve and
it was almost like bowling a china shop like this is how i'm going to do it this is the
best way to do it and i just kept doing that and then whenever i opened it up to really realizing
that it could be it could look different i can still serve and precisely the same way
it just looks very different the way i got there was very different the i the thing that
i would tell myself as i was just starting the business is open up to it looking very
different than the way that you think it's going to look to be successful because the thing is
if you stay married to that version that you think it's got to be you'll probably never be
you'll never be successful because you'll always count yourself a failure and you'll probably quit
instead of opening up and realizing i i've never met and i said this last week sometime
i've never met or read about uh an incredibly successful person that got where they are
in the way they thought they were going to get there originally it's always bobbing and weaving
it's always you know you do this and then you do that and you respond and you you analyze and you
respond and you analyze and respond it's like you do you analyze you respond you do a thing you see
how it worked you respond and that's all that's it's a constant flow of that constant flow of that
right emily feel all over the place yeah you need somebody to anchor you down
i would uh get a one-on-one get a one-on-one they're super super inexpensive guys
um andrea yes i've been doing that not sure whether oh yeah we've already talked about that
ginger at what point when in a group that matches my bat signal do i offer
my service you don't ever whenever you're in when you're in somebody else's group you
do not ever offer your services ever ever ever that's what people do that is so wrong and is so
oh don't do it don't do it first of all you look terrible i mean look at the other people that do
it right it's what everybody does everybody looks at it as free marketing and they're
like oh i'm in with all of these people let me tell you what i got right and we're all like
what we're not here for that you know and uh and so what you do like the the entire this is
you know my strategies are a compilation of small systems this is just a little
piece of one of the systems right is uh you go in there and you share
you you see people asking questions you answer a question wholeheartedly like and just drill down
on the answer like be the authority you know what i'm saying like let them know lay it all out don't
do a message me for the answer message me i can work with you that everybody else does what you do
instead is you actually give them value and answer their question and then you leave nothing else
what's going to happen is people are going to be sh they're going to be like what did she just do
she just like gave me really good advice and then didn't ask for anything until then what they're
going to do is they're going to come they're going to go creeping they're going to start learning
about you they're going to start trying to figure out figure you out right and that's where the rest
of the strategy comes into play from hbr right um of that part of the system anyway
good stuff hey thank you andrew
debry using that criteria question how do i stay focused i'm having a terrible
uh probably time with distractions
well i mean the easiest way for people for people that are having time or problems with distractions
the easiest thing to do is put a fence around yourself you gotta nail yourself down first of
all you gotta say i commit to doing this thing let's get real i commit to doing this thing
you set up your time that you're going to do it this is where time blocking is fantastic
i'm going to do this thing for 15 minutes a lot of times people can't commit to an
hour or even a half hour right commit to 15 minutes of total focus don't allow yourself
to be distracted it's you versus you it's you versus you day in and day out day in
and day out day in and day out it's you versus you and the best you wins right like or hopefully the
best you wins and it's all your choice this is all you all day long there's no tips tricks or hacks
to you making the best choice of what version of you you're going to be it's truly just a choice
andrea noted per their answers to my membership questions they seem to be the right people but
i'll keep going okay good well then work with the um other people answering the questions it's
probably their personality style you need some you need some action people in there answering
questions so they feel like they can answer questions as well um or you'll want to work with
i ask them their person have you asked them their personality code have you done that that's going
to give you a lot of information um maybe that's something that we'll go over in changemakers then
maybe that's something we'll do in there michelle loved your interview with chris casamassa he
needs to be in every school in the world amen to that just talked about him again last night um
okay oh i'm at 17 and a half minutes oh my goodness ginger they are privately reaching out
to me though okay if they're privately reaching out to you ginger invite them into your lead
group that's where that happens that's your lead group that's the whole part of that that process
