their business okay so the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make while building their business

tagging myself for my business page in it easy peasy lemon squeezy one person each

of what we're doing today okay so i see you guys starting to come in go ahead and comment if you
want and say hey girl hey if you want ask your questions if you want however you want to do that
after i get through the meat and potatoes of what i'm talking about i am going to circle
back around today i'm going to put you guys up on screen where you belong we are a community
we look at each other we praise each other we help each other out that is what we do here okay
so let's go ahead and jump in the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make while building their business
this is not in an effort to make you feel bad about yourself first things first okay
this is an effort for you to see things and be like oh my gosh i need to change that because if
you don't then you're gonna go by the way of most entrepreneurs and not ever find success
i don't want that to happen to you and that's the whole reason that i show up every dog on
day for you guys is because i don't want that to happen for you that's the entire purpose here okay
so i'm not just talking to talk i could just sit on my couch and watch golden girls
i'm not doing that the reason i'm not doing that is because i want you guys to be successful
because quite frankly everybody on the planet can be all right just make sure we're not doing
these things okay number one is entrepreneurs are asking the opinions of the wrong people
that one hurt didn't it asking the opinions of the wrong people sometimes those people
look like family sometimes those people look like childhood friends
sometimes those people look like co-workers
if the person that you're asking a business related or a growth related question
of is not where you want to be in the way that you want to be there meaning the way they've gotten
successful is what you would also like to have happen in your world so that's two things this
person has to go through it's two filters they go through the person you're asking advice from
are they where you want to be and did they get there the way that you want to get there
aside from that their opinion is worthless
not worthless because they're a worthless human being i'm not saying that please hear my heart
i am not saying that worthless to you in your business okay their opinion about what coffee
they love is great their opinion about how to grow a business does not pertain to you
and especially if we're asking people like our family and our co-workers and childhood
friends if they're not successful in business why are we asking them advice on our business
right why are we asking them the big questions you're pulling
p-o-l-l-ing you're polling the wrong people
you need to make sure that the people that you're asking about business stuff and growth
have been through it have done it because they're going to give you the solid answers okay
everybody else is going to give you some various rendition of their own limitations and if you're
not careful they'll sell you write this down they will sell you on their own limitations
you'll be like oh you're right yeah i shouldn't do that
oh you're right yeah there are other people that do this okay yeah no i shouldn't do that
that's their limitations and so whenever you pull the wrong people you have a very strong
capability
of taking on somebody else's limitations believing them as your own getting stuck and not moving
forward the way that you are designed to move forward in your life that's number one number two
choose mentors based on the wrong criteria this is kind of like what i just said so whenever
you go to choose a mentor and this happened to me back at the very beginning right and i mean
it's happened to me a couple times actually yes life but you choose mentors and you're like okay
so i want to follow this person you know you choose that mentor and then and then you use
the wrong criteria because really you see the mentor um you see them being successful they're
touting success they're saying that they're successful and you're like oh okay you know
i.e dude bro on the back of a ferrari i know that you and i are both like not following the dude
bro on the back of the ferrari on the facebook ad we're not doing that but a lot of people do
right and so they're looking they're they're looking for a mentor and they're choosing their
mentor with the wrong criteria the criteria shouldn't be is this person's ads everywhere
hear me on that the criteria should not be is this person's ads everywhere
do i see them winning comma club things from click funnels and stuff like that i don't know why i'm
just gonna say this i love click funnels and i love russell brunson right like the
guy's got a great heart it's a great company all of those things i don't understand why coaches is
just a side but i don't understand why coaches tout their click funnels two or two comma club
means they made a million bucks with their funnel why they tout that as success in their business
that means they can sell their course not that they can change lives right
and so when i peep when i see people like with the the two comma club thing as like a part of
their ad or whatever look at how great i am no you just showed me that you can sell something
you didn't show me that you can transform that you can help people change in their lives right
so like anyway that's just a side i just don't i don't understand i don't understand that
but whatever so anyway aside from that choose mentors based on the wrong criteria so that is
a big mistake that entrepreneurs make so again the criteria we should be choosing our mentors
with is are they where i want to be these are your questions write your questions down
are they where i want to be did they get there the way i want to get there
right so uh you know a mentor that i would have chosen in the early 2000s would have been like
do they make money did i make a good amount of money because that's what i thought i wanted back
then that's what i'm not gonna lie about where i was i've i've i have grown through this whole
business it has made me my home-based business has made me a better person and that's my dream
for everybody that does a home-based business it makes you a better person that's it's a byproduct
right you become a good person by it but back then i was like well are they able to make a bunch of
money i didn't care how they made their money i was just like i need money and how do i get money
right now things are of course very different but i was choosing with the wrong criteria which
got me wrapped up in a lot of stuff which then i had to unravel make my own which is what hbr is
right home-based revolution where i it's the blueprint of how to do this stuff without ads in
five to ten hours a week all of that stuff that's how i created that is because i had gone through
the stuff that like doesn't work and i'm like what is this how do i like that's not i've just
spent a bunch of money on something that doesn't work and now i have to somehow feel vindicated
i have to use my brain and be able to unravel all of this re-put it together into something that
does work and it's sustainable for people that are heart centered like myself and that's what hbr is
so let me just put this if you guys haven't if you're not in hbr holy moses everybody's getting
assigned to a business strategist today so there's just one thing it's it's about to get otherworldly
so what you guys do to jump in is you just go to live in the dream with martha it's my facebook
business page message me the words let's do this rainbows and unicorns whatever you want
we'll have a conversation we'll see whether it's a good fit for you or not number three
big mistake that entrepreneurs make while growing their business is they choose too many mentors me
are the people that are like i want to do this and i want to do this i don't want to do this
and i want to do this and i want to do this and i like what this person's saying and
and they they gather all their mentors as though they're an advisory team
and their mentors that they're learning from probably have things that don't work with each
other like you do my stuff and my stuff pretty much doesn't work with anybody else's anything
because mine goes against all of everything else you've been told you actually have to
unlearn everybody else's stuff in order to be able to learn mine and do it well
and crush because mine will allow you to crush organically without ads all of that stuff might
i what i teach you a hundred percent shows you how to do that but you have to unlearn
what you learned from everybody else so here's the deal you have a bunch of mentors and a bunch
of people that you're learning from you are stuck and you will stay stuck until
you decide to listen to one person and again that one person needs to go through the filters
of are they where you want to be the way you want to be there it makes it so much easier
when you're running things through those filters okay guys super important you'll think oh but i've
got a library i feel like i feel like i'm in a library of so much information you're stuck
i may be the only one who will speak that truth to you you are stuck
because you will take this course in this course and this course in
this course and they don't make sense and you're stuck now you gotta hear me on this
okay number four they try to do everything at once instead of creating a strategy
who felt that
who just felt that who was like okay right
your voice gets a little high everything gets a little bit weird right try to do everything it
wants instead of developing a strategy so like i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do this do this do this
now do i always have things going on in the background that are working yes
but do i also take time to be able to say to map it out and create my strategy of how it
gets implemented yes because you don't see it all happen at once you see that i might be talking
about this thing's coming this thing's coming this thing's coming they're not all happening at once
okay you create a strategy to be able to deliver these things what matters most first right there's
all of this stuff that you have to be thinking about because we as entrepreneurs we are at no
shortage of ideas none of us none of us so if you're like man i have these amazing ideas yes
everybody does the successful entrepreneur can do it can implement the ideas
nobody's at a shortage of ideas there are plenty of people that are watching shark tank
thinking oh i thought of that once you didn't do it right would have been a great idea didn't do it
none of us are at a shortage of ideas almost everyone is at a shortage of implementation
and making it happen this is a very large part of hbr currently and what hbr is turning into
we're essentially moving into edtech guys education technology
we're essentially moving into that and making sure that you do
what you say you want to do that you implement what you say you want to do that you organize
your thoughts that you know what comes here here here here and how to make that
all work together and happen okay so nobody's at a shortage of ideas
but if you have all these ideas all over the place you must be able to blueprint it out and say okay
well here's this and then i'm gonna do this and then i'm gonna do this and then i'm gonna do
this but not just in a straight line not in the timeline of this and then this and then this and
then this it needs to be this and then this and then all of these things will support it and then
this and all of this will support it and then this and all of this will support it so when you're
done which will never be done but when you're done with i guess the first round that you're doing
it's done you don't need to keep doing things with it it automatically sells on its own you're
automatically serving on it on your own right like that's the system is in place that's what hbr
is you guys if you're like martha i'm not ready to jump into hbr yet no big deal i don't know
if you heard there's a thing grab this 25 bucks martha's book.com grab it read through it it's
a it's a view of of what the system is guys it's stories of other people that are going through it
it's an accessibility point for you to understand that this is yours this is for you to do guys
i firmly believe
that i'm here to make things easy for you
and i'm about to double down on it so there's that what you guys got
got it and felt it love it amanda tony i just got unstuck by deleting any mentor but you
martha i also stopped and mapped my strategy and feel free and productive thank you there it is
and i'm not i mean i love that you made me your only mentor i love that i wasn't
even saying that if i mean if i make the cut i am humbled and i love that
but if it's somebody else it's somebody else but you got to listen to one you got to listen to one
person or else it's you you're it's going to be really rough for you brenda omg yes
leslie i'm so grateful you're my mentor martha way different from everyone else thank you aw shucks
