One thing that I did do, that 90% of people, 90 -however many percent- of people
are not doing, and that is one little change that is going to accumulate and
have big results over a long period of time. On this last day of the year in
2019 I have one question and only one question for you and that is: are we
finally getting paid in 2020? Are we finally gonna start that online business
and make our first dollar? If that is a yes, I want you to comment right now that
"Yes, I am committed in 2020!" Now, I could make all the "how-to make money online in
2020" videos, I could make a series, I could break down my exact formula, give
away my entire business for free on my youtube channel, and 90% probably 97% of
people that watch it will still not make a dollar online. There's people that beg
me: "Step-by-step Marissa, what is exactly that you do?" And I'm like, "Dude,
there are 214 live videos on my channel teaching step-by-step tutorials that are
just giving away the business strategies and the things I've learned throughout
my journey every single week when I post a video" and people still aren't doing it
and it's because people first off, most importantly, watch the video and don't do
anything they don't take one ounce, one effort of action, that's I mean the
fundamental problem. But the other problem is that there's not one simple
change made in the process of, you know, figuring out and deciding "Yes, I want to
build my online business" and so people decide "Yes, I want to start building this
business, I want to start doing this, make this change, I'm gonna make my first
dollar online this year" but they don't do anything. Two weeks into the new year
or two weeks into the second quarter or whatever time of year, doesn't really
matter, they go back to that old routine and they stop committing to that one
change and for the season of goal-setting and the "new year, new me"
syndrome I want to make one thing clear- you might be setting your goals a little
bit too high, and the reason I say that is because I remember my journey when I
was still an engineer in the nine-to-five, waking up every day,
getting out of my garage. This is just a day in my work life.
Driving to work every single day, the 19 mile drive- whatever it was. Just usually
wake up out of bed, roll off the side of my bed, and just do nothing. Getting
to the office, sitting in my queue for eight to nine hours, but there was one
thing that I did do that 90% of people 90 -however many percent of people- are
not doing, and that is one little change that is going to accumulate and have a
big result over a long period of time. And, as I mentioned there's hundreds of
videos on my channel I'll leave links up here to my free affiliate marketing
guide, I'll leave another link into the
playlist of my YouTube marketing and how I make money on YouTube,
I've given tons of explanations from scratch on how I make funnels, how to
build a funnel, sales funnels, this video it's not about that. This video is taking
a super huge step back and getting back down to the fundamentals and the basics
of what it is you need to make that first dollar in 2020, that first hundred
dollars and finally get paid in 2020. So here's the thing, the major mistake that
people do. They tell themselves I want to gain twelve pounds of muscle when
they're not even going to the gym consistently twice a week and not even
tracking what they eat. They want to say like "oh, I want to buy a luxurious car"
or "oh, I want to crack my first hundred thousand dollars in revenue, like this
girl did last year." If you look at, you know, my mom made us write down our goals
last New Year's. Like, Happy New Year what are your goals for 2019? And I'm looking
at my goals, it's right here then they say, I don't see if you can focus on that, it says
100k YouTube subscribers, did I get that? No. A hundred thousand dollars in revenue,
did I get that? No. Debt free, did I get that? No. If it helped 50,000 people, did I
get that? Yeah, I did I could successfully say that. And, it's just I think, I really
think back, and I'm like why the hell did I want those goals in the first place? (crickets)
And I even affirmed it to you guys in my last "New Year 2019" video. And so my
goal for 2019, my first goal, is to hit 100,000 subscribers by the end of 2019.
Next year in 2019, one of my goals is to have a six-figure month and to make
$100,000 in revenue. And so, my point is I'm not exactly sure why I wanted those
goals, how they would make me feel, who they would affect in my family, what
having that hundred thousand dollar a month would do for me and that's exactly
the point I want to make- is that these goals maybe we're set too high.
I mean why? Why did I need to have a six-figure month, you know, in 2019? I
didn't even have the systems in place to do that. I mean, if I look back on my year
this year there was a whole shit ton of business changes and I wasn't even ready.
I mean, back in the summer I quit affiliate marketing. The past year I've
been an affiliate marketer. Full, complete affiliate marketing course for beginners.
So I am an affiliate marketer and I have no website. No, this channel will no
longer be solely around affiliate marketing. For me, it's time to move on
and really execute my passion project and doing what I love the most, and
teaching what I know is going to help you guys exponentially. And then, later on
this year in the fall I launched a coaching program, which is my first
coaching program I've ever done. The first thing that I will be offering is
an eight-week coaching and private mentoring program with me. So I kind of
did a complete 180 in the online marketing world going from, you know,
wanting to be a super affiliate, crack 100k a month, to vrroop like
wanting to be a coach, create my own products, and, you know, really impact
people with my courses. So, I didn't achieve all these things and I'm not mad
about it at all because the number one thing I can say, my number one
accomplishment this year, is I enjoy the process of growing so much like that
that process of failing brought me so much joy, because in return I got so much
more back. I mean some of my students crossed six figures, they hit six figures
in less than a week with a course that they digitally
launched. Like, when I heard that news it really like brought tears to my eyes,
like I was, I'm getting, my voice is getting cracky, just thinking about it
but just to know that you've had the impact on people, and to know that you've
helped them in their lives it's just so much more of a reward than the own
success you're having. And that to me was probably my biggest accomplishment of
2019 and so I'm gonna take a step back and I'm gonna just do what I'm asking
you guys to do, and I'm gonna make my goals achievable, I mean this year my
highest month in revenue was 20-something K, I can't remember it's a
low 20s, and you know that's fine. Like, to me that's great! Did I expect it would
be way higher? Yeah, but I'm so happy about that, I mean I'm proud of that. That
was my highest month in my whole online career, in my whole life. And so I know a
manageable goal that I want to hit this year 2020 is around thirty-five thousand
dollars in one month. That will allow me to happily have my dream team, the people
that I hire to sustain the business, that'll allow me to save money, that'll
allow me to pay off that debt that I wanted to do last year, and that
is low-hanging fruit- an income revenue that I definitely think I
could smash and I could definitely achieve. And so I want you, when you're
reflecting on 2019, when you're really visualizing your 2020, I want you to
feel what it feels like to make that first dollar online. How is that going to
make you feel? How is that going to affect your family? When you make that
first dollar online, what are you gonna do next to make that first ten dollars?
What are you gonna do next to make that ten dollars maybe turn into making ten
dollars every single day consistently for one month? Then you go up a little
bit to $100, so it's not jumping from you know a 10k revenue all the way up to 100K
and a hundred million and all this stuff, it's taking those achievable steps
that feel good no matter what it is. You know, Fitness, if it's Fitness, it's
like you're not trying to gain 15 pounds of muscle, you're trying to get to the
gym five times a week. Why don't we start there and start taking those baby
steps? It's not about, you know, failing, getting two weeks into all these
new damn goals for the new year and then in week 3 of the new year you're like
"shit I that this is way out of reach" so it's about making that one tiny little
goal, crossing that off, being confident with it, smiling, it's you know
acknowledging your success and then moving on to that next achievable goal.
Comment below if you're with me for 2020, I want you to comment your goal for 2020
and not because it's 2020, just imagine it being your goal for January, you know,
your goal for February. What is that one goal that you need to achieve? If it's as
simple as making your first dollar online, going to the gym four times a
week, just one little habit, one little tweak, that's going to get you to where
you want to be in a year from now. That one little habit that's achievable, that
makes you smile, that makes you happy, that is a reasonable change to your
everyday lifestyle. Put that goal in the comments right now and commit to it, be
sure to subscribe to the channel if you haven't already, hit that notification
bell, join the family. And so one thing that I did commit to last year was
writing down like, you know, my successes in my journal, I would just write down
all of my lessons learned because I'm looking back at these lessons and I'm,
like, I'm learning from myself, you know, a year later, a month later, however long it
is, and so just looking at the progress of my growth. Like you guys won't make
money online, you won't have a profitable online business if you don't have that
growth, and how do you get that growth? You have to fail, you have to live it, you
have to try it, you have to incorporate it and develop a habit, you know, it takes
21 days, you know, I think it's more like 30, to have a routine habit where you
don't even think about it, where you can make it achievable, and then on top of
that you could add something else to your routine and you just keep
building and building and building. And so the point is with building a business,
with building an online brand, with serving people, with giving value on the
Internet, the point is to just get started with that one simple change. It
doesn't matter if you think you did what you had to do that day, if you think "oh, I
didn't, you know, accomplish X, Y, and Z" but are you still going? Are you still
working every single day, no matter what it is, to that goal that
you want to achieve? Like I said, all the tutorials in the world, all the digital
courses in the world will not do a damn thing if you don't commit to that one
small change right now. And so just wanted to leave you guys
with this, I heard this quote by Oprah this year and it's probably my favorite
quote in the whole wide world; it gives me chills, it makes me tear up, I know I'm
kind of acting like a baby this video, but let me play it for you guys.
You know, your legacy is every life that you touch, of you being here on this
planet and so that is what freaking fires me up every single day is knowing
that you know there's just about 2 million views on my youtube channel,
that's 2 million opportunities that I've had to help somebody, to give someone an
idea, to give somebody that, you know, spark that they've been looking for, that
tip, that trick that they've been wanting, and so that's what gets me fired up and
doing my job and serving you guys every single day, you know, on this channel on
my Instagram with my content, my free content, my paid content. It's about the
legacy that I will leave behind, you know, once I'm not here anymore, but the amount
of people I'm able to serve in my lifetime. And that is what it should be
about for you, you know, your content and what you have to teach and the value
that you have to give matters. It doesn't matter how small you think it is it
doesn't matter how much you think you don't know yet, you know a lot, you have a
lot of knowledge in there, you have, you know, a lot of things to share with
people that people want to hear. And so I think about how things how life would be
without me not starting two years ago, without me not starting my channel,
without me not helping out my students like where would they be? You know, where
would my subscribers be? That all the subscribers that have told me like "wow
that's such a great idea, I'm gonna try that out" I'm like what
would that look like right now if I hadn't started? And so, that's what I want to
leave you with, is what will your legacy look like? Not in 2020, but way
beyond 2020 in your lifetime so it goes deeper than just happy new year than
just you know goal-setting but it all starts with that one simple decision and
that one simple change that you're comfortable with implementing right now.
So no matter what point you're watching this video, whether it's in 2020 or 2021,
I just wanted to say "keep going, set that goal, make that one little
change and most importantly get started on building your legacy." So talking about
building online business and legacies, check out this video, I know you're going
to like it, about where I would start if I was a broke online beginner it's
working now in 2020 so that video starts right now.
And being able to receive checks like these while you sleep. I'm talking about
this type of traffic right here where you're seeing I'm generating over
10,000 subscribers on my youtube channel.
