00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,700
Hey guys, this week on the 
podcast, we have Sarah Michelle.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,700
She is a board certified family 
nurse practitioner and she runs 

3
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:11,900
a test prep company for Primary 
Care nurse practitioners. 

4
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:16,700
Her business is at least a seven
figure business that centers 

5
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:21,300
around confidence building and 
reducing anxiety for NPS taking 

6
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:24,500
their board exams. 
When she was preparing for her 

7
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:27,200
own board exam. 
She felt like there wasn't a 

8
00:00:27,208 --> 00:00:30,300
Board review out there for 
someone just like her who 

9
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:33,800
suffered from crippling anxiety.
Therefore, she went on a mission

10
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:38,400
to make those two things, the 
focus and she gave herself to it

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,000
completely. 
She loves to teach and she's 

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,900
taught on a variety of subjects 
she's now teaching on the 

13
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:48,400
largest stage ever, and she has 
a podcast cup titled becoming a 

14
00:00:48,408 --> 00:00:51,300
stress-free nurse practitioner, 
which is just fabulous of listen

15
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:52,300
to it. 
It's very good. 

16
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:54,500
Check it out. 
When you get some time, I'm so 

17
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:56,200
excited to dive into this 
podcast. 

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,100
She is such a hustler works hard
and really has created An 

19
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:02,600
incredible business for herself 
guys. 

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,000
Let's enjoy the ride. 
Welcome thank you so much for 

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,900
having me on the show. 
I'm so glad to be here. 

22
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,000
Yeah, no, I'm so excited to hear
all your hats and everything 

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,800
you've got going on and take it 
from the top. 

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,900
And really explain kind of what 
your day. 

25
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:18,400
Looks like I've told them what 
you're doing, you're running 

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,200
this big company, your CEO woman
in charge but really take me 

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,500
through what your day looks 
like. 

28
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,400
So, this is kind of a hard 
question because I feel like my 

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,300
day changes day today, there are
still very much Much. 

30
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:33,000
We're not in startup culture 
anymore in my company. 

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,500
I feel like we've evolved past 
that because crazy enough, a 

32
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:41,700
year ago today, I had me. 
I had a part-time assistant who 

33
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:44,100
was a contractor. 
I had one part-time nurse 

34
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:47,200
practitioner, who we do these 
things called life study group. 

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,500
So I'll get up there and I'll 
teach, and I'll call people and 

36
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:53,400
all this stuff. 
And I was kind of grooming her 

37
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,700
into teaching at the time that 
she was mostly running a chat 

38
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:57,500
box. 
So like my business was the 

39
00:01:57,500 --> 00:01:59,800
three of us. 
And so a year ago this time you 

40
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:02,500
It's almost nice. 
It's graduation season. 

41
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:06,100
Like the big time is coming up 
and I was like, okay like we 

42
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:09,199
need to hire some people. 
Like I don't know who I haven't.

43
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,100
Totally figured out yet, but I 
was like, I know we're going to 

44
00:02:11,108 --> 00:02:13,500
need just like hands on deck. 
Like where does he need help? 

45
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:18,700
And so we ended up hiring our 
first two contractors and they 

46
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:21,000
worked out beautifully and they 
still work for me today. 

47
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:25,800
And so we've evolved from me and
to port on contractors last 

48
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,700
year, we hired on to more after 
that. 

49
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,600
So now we have 15 people. 
I think seven of which I know 

50
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:33,200
like I didn't believe that 
something. 

51
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:37,500
So seven of which are full-time.
The rest are contractors but our

52
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:39,900
contractors get a lot of 
flexibility and what they do. 

53
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:42,700
So some of them almost feel like
you close to full-time hours, 

54
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:45,300
just on the sauna things and 
stuff that they pick up along 

55
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:48,500
the way. 
So that they even back a year 

56
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:51,900
ago today where it was me and 
two part-time contractors to 

57
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:54,900
today. 
Like they're literally 15 of us 

58
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:58,500
running like Full Speed Ahead 
all the time, kind of like 

59
00:02:58,500 --> 00:02:59,800
breaks my own brain a little 
bit. 

60
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,700
It but it's been such a massive 
Grove. 

61
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:06,500
I mean our first year because I 
started at the end may have 

62
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:10,100
2020. 
So the first year last year and 

63
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:14,900
we had big grow, but from last 
year's met to this year's Met 

64
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:18,200
has been like while Grove beyond
my wildest dreams. 

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,800
My day-to-day really revolves 
want right now. 

66
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,100
Unfortunately, around the back 
end of the business. 

67
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:29,000
So when I started my business I 
was like all front end all the 

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
time and so what? 
I mean by that is like, I didn't

69
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
have a website. 
I didn't have an email setup. 

70
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:38,200
I had like, nothing. 
All I had was, I made a Facebook

71
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,400
group and like you said, I gave 
it away to my classmates for 

72
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,900
free. 
And I said, I'll give you this. 

73
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:45,900
Little course I made for free if
you'll just invite somebody into

74
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:50,000
the group as I actually gave it 
to the first 100 people for 

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,200
free. 
And so is literally from May of 

76
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,400
that year, till September. 
I think it was it might have 

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,400
been almost October when we can 
Talk about all the melodramas 

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,000
and lessons. 
I've learned in business, too, 

79
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:08,200
but I talked to every single 
customer on Facebook people 

80
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,200
would send me private messages. 
Like, hey, I want your courses, 

81
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,600
I've been like, okay cool, you 
can pay me here if you're here. 

82
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,500
I wait for the payment to come 
through and now that okay, send 

83
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:19,600
your email. 
Now I'll send you the force that

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,200
I had. 
Like these Zoom recordings, all 

85
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,700
this stuff so the think about 
that's what I did and I was just

86
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:29,800
like putting my face out there 
talking to people literally 

87
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:32,900
Non-stop. 
Like I remember the first day 

88
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:36,300
that I sold, the course my phone
like exploded. 

89
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:41,500
Like, I remember my husband, my 
phone just won't stop, but I got

90
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:43,100
overwhelmed. 
I got through my phone across 

91
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:44,900
the room was like I can't even 
keep up evolving. 

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,600
So to go from that to like now 
behind the scenes, that's it. 

93
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,200
And a lot of like, software 
meanings, legal, meetings, 

94
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,500
accounting meeting. 
So, now I'm like more on the 

95
00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:01,300
back yet, but I really keep up. 
The pieces that I truly 

96
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:04,400
genuinely love. 
So between all those meetings 

97
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,600
because I has to run for 
day-to-day operations of a 

98
00:05:06,608 --> 00:05:09,900
business, but between all of 
those meetings, I'm still doing 

99
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:11,900
my life's a group. 
So I still teach their, I'm 

100
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:15,100
still talking to students and 
our product Community, still 

101
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:17,600
talking to students and Facebook
just not nearly as much as it 

102
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,200
was in the beginning. 
So I told you a lot of things 

103
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000
now is, I'm going to stop 
rambling but it's been, no 

104
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,800
really. 
It's been so fun. 

105
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,500
I literally like, I just tell 
people all the time like, always

106
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:32,300
dreamed of being An educator. 
And I always thought, you know, 

107
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:35,600
I was very like stuck in that 
thinking of well, like, this has

108
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,800
to be like, okay, I'll be an 
instructor also, some laughs 

109
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,100
official courses, like, maybe 
one day, I'll become like an 

110
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:44,600
associate Dean. 
The Next Step would be like a, 

111
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,000
real Dino etcetera. 
So, I feel like I'm living out 

112
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,400
my dream, just like 20 to 30 
years before it was thought it 

113
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,000
was the one to combat that makes
I love this. 

114
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,100
So I what I what I love most 
about your journey is That 

115
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:03,800
you're describing what I hear 
about alike from a lot of 

116
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,600
entrepreneurs which is it was 
all me. 

117
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,100
I was doing it all myself and it
was exhausting, right? 

118
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:14,300
And then you hear this, like I 
always hear there's this pivot 

119
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:17,000
moment where like all of a 
sudden, the business starts 

120
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,500
giving back to you and you're 
able to step away but your 

121
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:24,100
rolled in changes because you go
from being really close to the 

122
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:27,600
front lines to now, kind of 
being the general in the back 

123
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:29,700
making all the decisive move 
piece. 

124
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:33,300
And switch the pieces, right? 
One of the things I'm thinking 

125
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:37,400
about is I'm hearing you like 
what preparation did you have to

126
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,000
then move from being kind of one
of the Frontline workers? 

127
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:44,000
One of the the soldiers of the 
Frontline to now being the 

128
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
general in the tent, making all 
the rules and coming up with all

129
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,400
the Strategic moves that you 
have to make to keep growing. 

130
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,000
The business already. 
There were two pieces and their 

131
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,400
names are Becca and Anna. 
So I'll start with Becca. 

132
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:01,200
It was like November the first 
year, I was in business And I 

133
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,000
was worn out because I was so 
terrified. 

134
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,700
That sounds so crazy now. 
But I was so terrified. 

135
00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:11,300
We already having so much 
success of quitting, my 

136
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:13,200
full-time job and losing health 
insurance. 

137
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,400
I was like, how are we going to 
find health insurance? 

138
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Like what are we going to do? 
And I was like, hold up board 

139
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,700
winning my job and it actually I
took me quite some time. 

140
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:25,400
After even I hired Becca on to 
quit my job. 

141
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,900
We like fuck we coach them. 
I felt like every week, but in 

142
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:30,200
November of that year. 
Year. 

143
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:34,700
I literally and this will sound 
crazy to you but everything 

144
00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:37,200
always comes Full Circle A 
couple of years ago. 

145
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,100
When I was working as a nurse, I
actually was having to commute 

146
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:43,700
in on the weekend. 
So the almost a two-hour Drive. 

147
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,500
I would work Friday and Saturday
or something up fights. 

148
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:49,900
I work Saturday and Sunday and 
then I would draw back home and 

149
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:52,600
I would stay with a friend on 
Saturday night, so I wouldn't 

150
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,100
have to date, but you are 
commuting between. 

151
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:59,200
And so when I was doing that my 
friend, my nurse friend had an 

152
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,300
idea for Taco truck. 
And so she went and got a 

153
00:08:03,308 --> 00:08:07,400
massage in the lady, who gave 
her a massage was talking about 

154
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,600
becoming a business coach and 
so, they did some business 

155
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,700
coaching together. 
And so, I don't know why that 

156
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:15,800
like hung on in my brain, but it
did. 

157
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,500
And so what, after I started my 
business and November that year 

158
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:22,500
I was just like, so weren't out 
because I was working 50 hours a

159
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:27,500
week and in every spare moment I
had I was working on that the 

160
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:30,200
like I would get up at 3 a.m. 
because I started Teaching at 

161
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,200
6:30. 
So given three am working my 

162
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,799
business till 6:30 and then when
I got off work at three or four 

163
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:38,799
or five, depending on the day, I
would work till 10 p.m. on my 

164
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:42,100
business and then I would sleep 
very minimally and we get up and

165
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:44,900
start over so like obviously 
like I was burning the candle at

166
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:47,000
like literally every in the 
candle converge. 

167
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,400
So Katie talked about one time a
business coach for that taco van

168
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,700
that she never flushed out, 
because Katie always look so 

169
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:59,100
it's like it's called that lady 
up, like I was just like, is he 

170
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:02,000
even still doing His coaching. 
I don't know but I'll just call 

171
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,200
her up and see what happens. 
And so, literally on a win, I 

172
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,000
thought about it. 
We talked on the phone two hours

173
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,600
later. 
I signed up for business 

174
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,300
coaching with him, stopovers of 
that because luckily, my husband

175
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:15,800
was very supportive. 
It was a big investment for us 

176
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,800
at the top but he was like if 
you're going to make something 

177
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,700
of this business and he said I 
have full faith that you can. 

178
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:24,200
He was like you need help. 
And you need guys for someone to

179
00:09:24,208 --> 00:09:27,600
build a business and nobody 
around us has any experience 

180
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,900
like that any passing? 
So, I hired on Becca and my 

181
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:36,200
first call with her. 
She said I never do this, but 

182
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,500
you need help. 
Like today, she was like, before

183
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,300
we talk on the phone next week 
and do our next coaching call. 

184
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:43,000
Like I need you to go ahead 
harsh. 

185
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,700
Somebody I don't care who that 
somebody is but you need a 

186
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:48,000
virtual assistant doing admin 
tasks. 

187
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,400
Like you need help on the 
clerical side bare minimum and 

188
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,300
she's like it once, you've hired
that person, let's talk about 

189
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:55,800
hard for people. 
So that was how I ended up with 

190
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,400
my first virtual assistant and 
so the day that I The virtual 

191
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,100
assistant which was literally 
like two days later. 

192
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:04,300
Like I just put a posting on up 
and I was like, please come take

193
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,600
this job interview to go people,
I just heard something on the 

194
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,100
spot. 
I made a post on my Instagram 

195
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:12,400
and I was like just hired my 
first employee like, you know, 

196
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,300
super excited right Jeff? 
Yeah it's huge for me because it

197
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:20,400
was really hard for me to let 
anybody into anything. 

198
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,600
I did this because you get like 
stuck in this mentality and so 

199
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,600
silly looking back, like people 
can't do it as well as I can do 

200
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,200
it. 
But what people don't see He is 

201
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,600
when you're doing a thousand 
different tasks, you can give 

202
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,400
like 1% to each of those hats, 
right? 

203
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,400
But if you have someone who's 
just working on email, just 

204
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,800
working on the Facebook group it
explodes, right? 

205
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,700
Like there's so much more room 
because they've got full focus 

206
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:47,200
on one task. 
Whereas I was focusing on 

207
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,600
literally a thousand pounds. 
So on top of my full-time job as

208
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,000
crazy as that sounds. 
Yeah. 

209
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,200
This is not. 
So it was nice. 

210
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,400
Basically, I made that little 
post about hired my first 

211
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,900
employee and somebody used to go
to school with Now she said, 

212
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,500
hey, you know, we had connected.
Ironically again, because we 

213
00:11:04,508 --> 00:11:07,300
went to nursing school together 
and then we graduated nurse 

214
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:08,600
practitioner school at the same 
time. 

215
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,600
So everybody's in all the same 
student groups. 

216
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,900
So, we kind of reconnected 
little bit because she posted 

217
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:15,200
her study calendar and I used 
part of her study calendar. 

218
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,600
Prepare for full partner. 
Yeah, he's like, if you ever 

219
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,200
need any help, just let me know.
You know. 

220
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:21,900
I'm a stay-at-home mom right 
now. 

221
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:25,200
I just have my baby like, I've 
got Tom and I've got flexibility

222
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,500
to do. 
It was like, okay cool. 

223
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:31,600
Like I'll keep that in the back 
of my mind and so Just having 

224
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,300
the assistant alone. 
I literally within like two 

225
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:39,700
weeks of that, I had an idea for
a brand new program that was 

226
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:41,800
going to be loved. 
So everything I had up to that 

227
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,500
point was recorded, I'd always 
wanted to do something. 

228
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:48,100
Love my students were happy for 
something love, but I never 

229
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:50,900
wanted it to be live. 
And like the generic way that 

230
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:55,000
everyone else was doing it. 
That makes sense because for me,

231
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,500
as a student, I didn't find 
Value like in the conference 

232
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:02,700
table, Or webinar style. 
Reviewers just like to ten hour 

233
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:04,600
days back-to-back. 
Your brain is exploding. 

234
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,100
Like every just did that. 
Yeah, that's huge. 

235
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:13,000
Oh my gosh, it was so alive for 
so painful when I was like, if I

236
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,800
ever make anything long, I don't
want to be anything like that. 

237
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,900
That's my goal. 
And so, yeah. 

238
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,700
And that those first two weeks, 
I was like, I think I've got an 

239
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:23,500
idea that could work. 
I said, because I already know 

240
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:25,700
how courses are working, because
we can see all the Student 

241
00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:27,700
Success in the Facebook group, 
which is really fun. 

242
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:29,400
Because every time somebody 
passes, they come in a group, 

243
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:32,700
Like post, like I love half of 
all the good stuff which I still

244
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:34,300
read. 
People don't believe me but I 

245
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:36,800
really I still read every single
passing post because it just 

246
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,300
brings my heart so much joy. 
Like it's just like the core of 

247
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:41,500
everything that I want to do, 
how the idea for something 

248
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:45,800
called a lobster group program, 
which is basically a five week 

249
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,200
program, where I prepare you for
boards, and you get like little 

250
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,100
bits of video every day. 
So you get the recorder courses 

251
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:53,900
and then we meet up every two 
weeks. 

252
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:56,300
And I'm like, okay, you've 
already learned the content, 

253
00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:58,300
right? 
So let's interact, let's talk 

254
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:01,100
about it and let's make sure 
Sure, you know the content, 

255
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:03,100
right? 
So they're like all the things 

256
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:05,600
that I was needing as a student 
on a, the structure of the 

257
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,600
calendar. 
I needed somebody to hold me 

258
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,100
accountable. 
We have a private community in 

259
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:13,100
there, so I needed someone 
reputable that you answer my 

260
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:15,300
questions and nobody out there 
was doing that either. 

261
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:17,400
I'm, it was all just like 
students on Facebook feeding off

262
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,000
of each other. 
So I mean it was just like 

263
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,500
Massacre. 
Fusional really the whole like 

264
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,800
bulk of the program is to build 
up confidence. 

265
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,100
So you got the content, you can 
build up confidence in the 

266
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:28,500
sessions. 
Ideally thing of the probably 

267
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:32,200
just a test So even just those 
two weeks, I had the idea for 

268
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,900
that. 
And so I called Anna up and I 

269
00:13:33,908 --> 00:13:37,300
was like hey I've got this idea.
It's kind of crazy. 

270
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:39,700
I don't know if it's gonna work 
but I think it's going to work. 

271
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:42,100
I think it's going to be like I 
think you can be slow start out 

272
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:45,800
with because there's a lot of 
student education that goes into

273
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,500
that program because it is so 
different people. 

274
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:49,400
Like what are you doing? 
What's happening here, like they

275
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,000
need education before they buy. 
Obviously, I was like, but the 

276
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
one thing I do know is I'm going
to need help. 

277
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:59,800
And so I was like, just come on,
do have a chat box with me and 

278
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,000
I'll do the teachings and we can
talk about the rest later and 

279
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,500
we've pretty much never looked 
back. 

280
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:09,100
She is now my chief operations 
officer, she rips and runs just 

281
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:12,200
as hard as I do every single day
we're like a constant 

282
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,100
communication. 
She was like, it was literally 

283
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:18,200
it was fate. 
She was the best decision I ever

284
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,600
made. 
For my business was bringing her

285
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,900
along with me. 
And so, we've been able to grow 

286
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:26,500
at the rate we've had because 
I've had her Alongside me as 

287
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:29,600
well. 
So I think Becca was so good. 

288
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,800
I want to stop you here because 
what you're saying is there's so

289
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,000
many nuggets and we just have to
pick them out before we walk 

290
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,200
out. 
So what you're saying is that 

291
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,000
you had the right people on the 
bus, right? 

292
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,400
So like one of the big things 
about business and understanding

293
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:49,400
how to grow a business is I hear
over and over and over and over 

294
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:55,300
again, that getting the right 
people to help you build is tan.

295
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:58,100
Amount to anything, that's even 
more important than the mission.

296
00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:02,000
It's even more important than 
values at some point. 

297
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:05,600
It's really important who is 
working with you and that's one 

298
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,600
of the things that I think is so
cool that you're pointing out, 

299
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:12,800
but that also you just did it 
and you figured it out. 

300
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:14,800
Alright? 
And so a lot of people get so 

301
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,500
hung up in like oh but I don't 
have it all figured out, I don't

302
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,500
have it all planned out. 
I don't really know if it's 

303
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:21,000
going to work. 
I think it might work. 

304
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:21,900
I don't know. 
Okay. 

305
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:25,000
So I will do nothing and it's 
like no just gonna do it. 

306
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,500
Yeah. 
Just don't know what's going to 

307
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:28,300
work. 
Just start. 

308
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,300
And so those are two nuggets 
that I'm hearing from what 

309
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:32,700
you're saying that are just so 
critical. 

310
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:34,800
And I really want nurse 
practitioners to understand that

311
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,200
especially those that are 
thinking about side hustles or 

312
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,800
businesses or what can I do or 
where can I build? 

313
00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:44,500
Just go try it and what's the 
worst that can happen? 

314
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,800
If it fails, you're right back 
where you were and you just try 

315
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,800
something else, those are really
awesome nuggets and I guess my 

316
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,300
follow-up question from that. 
And again we kind of go into 

317
00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:58,700
your Journey is when did you 
decide that you wanted to become

318
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:01,300
a nurse and kind of walk me 
through this point where you 

319
00:16:01,308 --> 00:16:04,300
were like because you didn't 
wake up one day Sarah and have 

320
00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:08,400
seven figure business and you 
know on the on the bus getting 

321
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,300
to the dream and the journey you
didn't just wake up with this 

322
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:14,900
stuff, you built it over time 
and so take me a little bit 

323
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:16,300
about. 
I always want to hear people's 

324
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:18,600
like I decided to become a nurse
win stories. 

325
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,100
I think those are really cool 
and then kind of walk me 

326
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:23,000
through. 
I guess we talked a little bit 

327
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,200
about, but just kind of walk you
through quickly like How you got

328
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,400
to where you did start the 
business? 

329
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,300
What we do your process because 
I really want to know when you 

330
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:33,400
were like, I think I'm just 
going to like give out this 

331
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,600
education to all my classmates 
like you know what I'm saying? 

332
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
It sounds crazy to hear. 
So I think there's two parts to 

333
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,800
that, I decided to be a nurse. 
I decided to be a nurse. 

334
00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:45,100
And then I had to read this 
ought to be a nurse. 

335
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:47,800
So what I mean by that is like 
growing up both. 

336
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,800
My parents are School teachers, 
in middle school teachers and so

337
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,900
like I always envisioned myself,
ironically being a teacher, I 

338
00:16:54,900 --> 00:16:59,300
didn't really Fairly think about
medicine is much, but my parents

339
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:01,500
very much. 
Pushed me, I grew up in Eastern,

340
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:04,700
Kentucky is very impoverished, 
is very rural, feel like 

341
00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:08,300
education is your ticket, right?
Education will always be your 

342
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:12,400
ticket and so they didn't super 
love being teachers. 

343
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,599
There's a lot of politics to go 
on teachers and so when I was 

344
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,800
going to college, they really 
pushed me, choose something in 

345
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,099
the medical field, because 
you're kind of job security. 

346
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:23,900
But you're also going to have 
the education piece, you're 

347
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:26,500
going to have opportunities are 
A big goals basically. 

348
00:17:26,900 --> 00:17:32,000
And so with their push, I knew 
there's no way because I pay for

349
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,200
school on my own and I wasn't 
like eligible for like the 

350
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,700
grants and stuff and all that. 
Good stuff. 

351
00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:40,000
My parents, they just a little 
bit too much money, so knows me 

352
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,400
paying for school, I know. 
Yeah, thankful, yes, yes 

353
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,900
exactly. 
It's like, we're not poor 

354
00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:48,700
enough. 
Yeah, we're still not wealthy. 

355
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:54,500
Yeah. 
So I pay for school on my own 

356
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,500
and I knew I was Be able to 
afford medical school and they 

357
00:17:57,500 --> 00:17:59,700
probably wouldn't even be able 
to co-sign for those big of 

358
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:01,600
lungs. 
So I was like, what am I going 

359
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,500
to do, right? 
So I decided to be a nurse but I

360
00:18:04,508 --> 00:18:07,900
always had like the teacher part
of me like in the back of my 

361
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:11,500
brain. 
And so I was halfway through 

362
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:15,200
nursing school and whenever I 
tell the story always say 

363
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,200
there's three sides were story. 
There's my side, their side and 

364
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,600
the truth. 
But from my point of view, I had

365
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,400
a panic attack during clinical 
one day, And so they pulled me 

366
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,800
aside after the clinical and 
they're like, you know, you kind

367
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,100
of struggled in this class. 
It was the first class I've ever

368
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:32,700
struggled in. 
It was the hardest one of all 

369
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:35,500
versus also like the fact that 
caveat out there because it's 

370
00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:38,700
which class was a good class, 
okay, ever? 

371
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:40,700
Just it was a juicy. 
It's a doozy. 

372
00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:42,700
So duty to work in and it's easy
to learn it. 

373
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:45,600
Yeah, I mean the whole thing the
whole thing. 

374
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:52,200
Well done, so great on the first
test, I got involved the second 

375
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,200
test, I had the panic attack and
clinical. 

376
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,300
And so, Basically, they pulled 
me inside and they're like, do 

377
00:18:58,300 --> 00:19:00,800
you really want to be a nurse 
like, do you think you have what

378
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,400
it takes beingness anxious. 
We have a lot of reservations 

379
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,100
about you. 
Continuing in this fill with 

380
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:10,600
this level of anxiety. 
And so I had originally wanted 

381
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,000
to be a teacher. 
I kind of fallen into nursing. 

382
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,500
I thought it would be a good fit
and then I was challenge of 

383
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:19,700
like, is this something that's a
good fit for you? 

384
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:23,600
And I couldn't even totally 
decide at the time, I was like, 

385
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,200
maybe I'll kind of switch 
majors. 

386
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:30,300
Maybe I'll try to pursue a 
masters and like higher 

387
00:19:30,300 --> 00:19:32,400
education, public 
administration, like something 

388
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,500
along those lines. 
Like I just get through school 

389
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:37,300
and do more work and more ground
Restless or thing. 

390
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:40,200
But ultimately what it came down
to is I had those student loan. 

391
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,100
And so I was basically going to 
start from scratch if I started 

392
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,800
on any other degree. 
And so I was like, I've just got

393
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,100
to do it, right? 
And so the kind of the magic 

394
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:55,200
moment that happened is with the
push of having people that 

395
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,100
Believe in me and didn't think I
could do it because of my 

396
00:19:58,100 --> 00:20:01,500
anxiety. 
I finally figured out that 

397
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:03,500
class. 
So, I mean, I didn't pass the 

398
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:07,600
first test, literally, like the 
last test and that semester. 

399
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,300
I think I can only 4% on or 
something crazy. 

400
00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:11,900
Like I had figured it out. 
Yeah. 

401
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:15,400
I was like, oh man, I thought 
this and so what that allow me 

402
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,400
to do because I figured out that
stuff class that everybody 

403
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,600
struggled with is I got asked to
be a tutor. 

404
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:28,200
And so when I started tutoring, 
I was like this is it this 

405
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,800
lights me up. 
I am so excited about this. 

406
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,500
I love to teach like this is 
like I feel like the perfect 

407
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:37,800
match because I'm gonna have 
this degree. 

408
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,500
I'm going to be able to be a 
nurse and do that but I'm also I

409
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:44,200
have this opportunity to educate
on the side and it was kind of 

410
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,500
my first side hustle which I 
didn't realize at the time and 

411
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:52,300
so I was like okay like I love 
tutoring how do I keep doing 

412
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:55,200
this? 
And so yeah I got a little bit. 

413
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,600
Collocated, when I actually 
graduate school and became a 

414
00:20:57,608 --> 00:21:00,500
nurse because working night 
shifts working crazy hours, all 

415
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:04,500
the stuff. 
And so I decided that even 

416
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:07,600
though I'd only been a nurse for
just about a year, I was going 

417
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,000
to go and get my masters in 
nursing education because I was 

418
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,900
like, I don't use it today. 
That's cool. 

419
00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:14,600
I'll use it in the future. 
I know I will because I just 

420
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,300
want to like have some clinicals
or something. 

421
00:21:16,700 --> 00:21:19,400
So I got that. 
But at that point I was like 

422
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,400
kind of in the groove of school,
right? 

423
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:25,100
And my employer was paying for 
my graduate education. 

424
00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:27,600
They pay for my masters and 
there's education. 

425
00:21:27,900 --> 00:21:31,400
And they were about to take away
the payments for graduate school

426
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,900
education. 
So I was like, if I'm going to 

427
00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:38,300
do any more school, this is it. 
And so, I found it for my post 

428
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:41,900
master's program to be an f and 
P, and so I just kept rolling 

429
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:43,300
through rolling, through roll 
through. 

430
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:48,900
But when I always tell people, 
to is, I told my now, husband, 

431
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,600
and I signed up for nurse 
practitioner school, he was, but

432
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,800
he was bad at the time. 
He's trying at the time now, 

433
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,700
he's husband, he was a baby, He 
survived me in school for all 

434
00:21:57,700 --> 00:22:00,800
that time and all the crazy 
hours planning a wedding. 

435
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,400
Like it, we're soul mates, like,
more your life was if you're. 

436
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:11,000
So what I was saying, I was so 
distracted with my husband. 

437
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,200
But, no, you were saying that 
you were planning all this stuff

438
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,100
and you were, oh gosh. 
Oh I, where were you? 

439
00:22:18,100 --> 00:22:19,000
You know what? 
I was going to say. 

440
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,300
I told him when I applied for 
school, you're working getting 

441
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,500
your postmasters. 
I told him that even if I Never 

442
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:27,900
use a degree of still wanted it 
because I thought I was gonna 

443
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:30,700
make me a better educator, and I
genuinely meant that when I said

444
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:34,600
it, and I still mean it today. 
And so you're talking about your

445
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,600
post about like the post 
certification that you because I

446
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,800
was like, if I'm a nurse 
practitioner, it only makes me a

447
00:22:38,808 --> 00:22:41,200
better educator all the way 
around even if I'm just teaching

448
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,600
nurses. 
And so in the midst of getting 

449
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,800
that degree is when I actually 
started teaching nursing 

450
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,000
students and I was like, yeah, 
this is it like I'm Death 

451
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,800
Office, was it? 
But this is definitely it like, 

452
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,200
this lights me up and being able
to address. 

453
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:58,100
With anxiety and kind of have 
that one-on-one impact is 

454
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:01,600
really, really cool for me. 
I felt like almost like tear up.

455
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,400
So, you know, I can't talk, I 
came full circle, but that's 

456
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,200
really cool. 
This is really cool. 

457
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,400
I can think of a couple of 
students in particular. 

458
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,900
I've I'll tell you just one 
story basically, I was in 

459
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:12,300
clinicals and it was in a 
nursing home. 

460
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:14,900
So there's like, fundamentals 
book was I was doing at the top 

461
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,500
and it's so funny to like look 
back on yourself then I'm sure 

462
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:23,100
she'll look back at herself and 
laugh about this, but she was so

463
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:25,100
anxious to even like walk in the
page. 

464
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:27,600
Agents room. 
And like, where I went to 

465
00:23:27,608 --> 00:23:29,400
school. 
That one performed that wouldn't

466
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,100
have been anything. 
So we literally like we took a 

467
00:23:33,108 --> 00:23:36,400
lap outside around the building 
for years, some fresh air and I 

468
00:23:36,408 --> 00:23:39,500
was like, okay, kind of walk me 
through what you think is going 

469
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:40,600
to look like when you walk in 
there? 

470
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,400
Like what you think you're going
to say, what you think? 

471
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,300
They might say, like, assessment
that we're going to do together 

472
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:48,100
like all these pieces. 
I said, running out here with 

473
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:51,200
me, get your nerves out here and
then we can walk in and we can 

474
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,900
do it together. 
So it's like you won't even be 

475
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:55,100
alone to do it because I don't 
like to do things. 

476
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,000
And so, even just giving her 
five minutes to kind of bring 

477
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,800
herself together. 
She was able to walk in the 

478
00:24:02,808 --> 00:24:03,900
room. 
She did a really great job. 

479
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,600
I was like, I knew you could do 
a really great job. 

480
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,200
You just get so tangled up in 
your head which is pretty much 

481
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,700
what happened to me when I Was 
preparing for my board exam 

482
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:15,000
because I had an excellent 
educational again. 

483
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,400
Excellent. 
Excellent nurse practitioner 

484
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,900
education, it was called 
knowledge but that board exam 

485
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:22,700
wigs me out. 
I don't know like what it was on

486
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:25,400
the others, just the pressure. 
I don't know if I just had A lot

487
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,200
of things going on at one time, 
because I was working two 

488
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,100
full-time jobs at the time and 
preparing, for boards or lots of

489
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:33,600
pizza. 
I'm workaholic, if you can't 

490
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:53,900
tell, 
and then I was when I took the 

491
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:56,600

And let's get back to the 

516
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,100
conversation because I took the 
exam lessen, our it's 175 

517
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:24,100
questions, so obviously, like a 
new my stuff, right? 

518
00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:28,400
And I was like, Why in the world
would I thought this strung out 

519
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,300
over this? 
Like this wasn't that bad. 

520
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:34,100
I knew all the content even from
school, like, I need to refresh 

521
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:36,200
a little bit to take the exam, 
but I thought the content of 

522
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:42,000
sure, I just needed the anxiety 
piece and so that's how I was 

523
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,400
like, okay, I was the first 
person in my class to test, 

524
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:48,100
cool. 
Let me just put out this little 

525
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:51,100
review and see if I can help 
anyone else with anxiety. 

526
00:26:51,100 --> 00:26:54,300
Because at that point in time, I
kind of felt really alone. 

527
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:56,600
Again, it kind of Of being in 
nursing school because I was 

528
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,900
like, I'm super anxious was 
like, nobody around me is super 

529
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:02,000
anxious. 
And what I realize now is, 

530
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,900
nobody was talking about being 
anxious. 

531
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:09,300
That was the real thing because 
all the people in this group, 

532
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,800
this Facebook group, I was like,
holy crap. 

533
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,900
Like everybody is anxious like 
everybody's like here is falling

534
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:19,100
out like you're so stressed 
about taking this exam and so I 

535
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:21,500
ended up striking this chord 
with people that I just never 

536
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:25,100
really anticipated. 
Just by making a course that was

537
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,300
Geared at what I wanted 
essentially. 

538
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:33,200
And so really the first like 
three, four months, just talking

539
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,500
all the students, we really 
co-created a lot of the courses 

540
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:38,300
together, like, I would get 
feedback from people. 

541
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:40,500
I make adjustments to the 
videos, like, we were maneuver, 

542
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:43,100
like, original course, that was 
three hours. 

543
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:46,400
I literally like, made in a 
weekend and just like, put it up

544
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,600
there to see what people would 
think. 

545
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,000
I think it's not like it's Kim's
rendition now, like it's kind 

546
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,800
of, its kind of crazy Journey, 
Incredible Journey. 

547
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,000
It's been crazy. 
Will Journey. 

548
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,000
That's been so fun. 
I like yeah, what I think about 

549
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,200
your journey too is that there's
a level of vulnerability in 

550
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,400
realness hearing as you re like,
I was anxious. 

551
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,500
I was scared like walking that 
student around the building. 

552
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:13,600
Yeah. 
Like I can imagine. 

553
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:17,200
Now she probably like I would 
just think I'd be such a pivotal

554
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,100
moment. 
As if ya have a professor that 

555
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:23,900
really just like, literally 
walked along a society person, 

556
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,100
it was just like you're not 
alone. 

557
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,900
Alone. 
Yeah, you're not alone and 

558
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,300
because of your experience with 
anxiety and what you went 

559
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:35,200
through, it made you that much 
more able to connect to where 

560
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,900
people really are. 
I just think that just makes you

561
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:40,500
so much more marketable as you 
are more real. 

562
00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:42,500
More like, hey, I was struggling
with this. 

563
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:46,200
Like this was really hard and 
people are like me to like 

564
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,400
because I don't have one, right?
We all want to be seen at Flo's.

565
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,100
I want to be known and then to 
have somebody step into it with 

566
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:54,900
us and Renee Brown talks about 
this all this time. 

567
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,000
Time about vulnerability and 
why? 

568
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,200
It's so why it's so 
life-changing because it's at 

569
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,800
that very moment, right? 
Like, you could have looked down

570
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,800
at her in the pot of her 
anxiety. 

571
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,100
And just been, like, must be 
really hard in there. 

572
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:11,000
Good luck. 
You know, when you're ready, 

573
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:13,400
we'll be out here. 
But you were like, no, no, I'm 

574
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,900
gonna climb down into the hole 
with her and I'm going to walk 

575
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:19,500
around in the anxiety and I'm 
gonna just sit with her in it 

576
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:21,500
and then I'm going to tell her 
like that. 

577
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,900
Okay, this is cool. 
That's all I ever needed. 

578
00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:27,100
She was fine. 
It's so So maybe that was all we

579
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:30,100
that you ever needed exactly. 
This this headphone is working, 

580
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,900
maybe that was all that you ever
needed. 

581
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:36,400
And so yeah like see how much 
better you can give to someone 

582
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,200
else when you're in touch with 
what's been going on inside of 

583
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,400
you and doing that work on your 
own emotional state? 

584
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,900
And yeah, I think the 
transparency what are is really 

585
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:49,800
important because a lot of 
people you know, it was actually

586
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,900
really hard for me to say I was 
really anxious about taking the 

587
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:57,800
exam. 
And it even took me a little bit

588
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,300
of time to figure out. 
Even after I made the course 

589
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:04,600
that, that was inadvertently. 
What I had geared it towards 

590
00:30:04,700 --> 00:30:07,100
like, if you'd asked me in the 
very beginning, like, I wouldn't

591
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:10,000
have said this thing's already 
review, I would have said, like,

592
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,100
this is a really great content 
review. 

593
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:15,200
Like, I'm an educator, like, I 
put Tom and it is all this joke,

594
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,300
right? 
Not that sir. 

595
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,900
But honestly, I was doing a 
podcast episode last year. 

596
00:30:22,900 --> 00:30:25,000
I was in an interview by the 
resume RX. 

597
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:26,900
Yes, and she was asking me 
something. 

598
00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:30,100
I don't even remember now. 
And I just like, clicked in my 

599
00:30:30,100 --> 00:30:32,700
brain. 
I was like, why have people 

600
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:35,000
latched onto this so much so 
quickly? 

601
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,900
I was like, it's all the test 
anxiety piece is all. 

602
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:40,400
Just meeting people where 
they're at being really open 

603
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,300
with how I'm feeling like it was
even hard for me. 

604
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,200
I had my face on my business for
a long time, just because it was

605
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,500
really hard for me to put myself
out there like that, like, that 

606
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:57,200
is not me and so like I went, I 
think it From a all the way 

607
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,700
until March of the following 
year. 

608
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:02,700
No one ever saw my face like 
nobody even knew what I look 

609
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:04,300
like. 
So that way, I can feel open to 

610
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:10,700
talk about the full so it was 
just so intimidating for me for 

611
00:31:10,700 --> 00:31:12,000
people. 
I was like, people are gonna 

612
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
think I'm crazy. 
People are gonna think I'm nuts 

613
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,500
and I'm like, no, like there are
tons of people that are anxious 

614
00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:20,700
about their number one. 
But number two anxiety can make 

615
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:24,100
you a really great provider. 
And I was like, and I feel like 

616
00:31:24,100 --> 00:31:26,500
people miss that, And I 
definitely miss that when I was 

617
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:30,000
in school because I became an 
oncology nurse and I promise you

618
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,900
like my anxiety. 
Helped me save a lot of 

619
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:35,100
patience, because I was super 
diligent all the time, like I 

620
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:37,500
was super aware. 
So I never want anyone to feel 

621
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:40,600
ashamed of their anxiety is 
really important to me, and it 

622
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,200
was really hard for me to open 
up my face on things. 

623
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,600
Talk about it, openly on 
Instagram. 

624
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,900
Now, like, I could do an 
Instagram story, any moment, be 

625
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:51,400
like, anxiety, anxiety, but back
then it was really, really tough

626
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,700
to be the opening that 
transparent, but actually, one 

627
00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:58,800
of our I did my company is 
transparency and along with that

628
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,300
empathy as well. 
Yeah. 

629
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:05,300
Yeah, we need more of that in 
the world for people that are 

630
00:32:05,300 --> 00:32:07,800
being real, because it's how we 
connect. 

631
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,500
And I think that there's so much
that's wrong, you know, and it's

632
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:15,400
so strange because of covid and 
how people are now more distant 

633
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,100
and more separate, and you're 
more alone with your thoughts 

634
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:21,800
and your more by yourself and 
social Just Dance, 14 feet. 

635
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,700
And so, like, all these things, 
like, it's not just a social 

636
00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:26,800
distance away from people 
physically. 

637
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,200
It's also becoming a social 
distance, spiritually 

638
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,000
emotionally. 
Everyone's struggling because 

639
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,700
they think I'm the only one 
because you just live in this 

640
00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:39,000
little world by yourself. 
And I think his so great to 

641
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,700
bring awareness to the fact that
like, Hey, listen, like I am, I 

642
00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:47,400
was actually really good at this
but I was still anxious so many 

643
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,700
times throughout the process 
over. 

644
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:51,400
No. 
But you used your strengths, you

645
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,300
used your weaknesses and the 
things that the world sees as 

646
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:58,400
weak as a way to grow. 
A very successful business. 

647
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,000
You were using the anxiety that 
you were This is a weakness, is 

648
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,800
a chink in my armor to really be
the thing that you're like. 

649
00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:08,500
No, this is how I connect to 
people. 

650
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:11,200
Like there's this book by 
Malcolm Gladwell, it's talks 

651
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,100
about is called David and 
Goliath, and he talks about the 

652
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:18,600
thing that you think, makes you 
strong sometimes. 

653
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,200
It's actually the thing that 
makes you weak and the thing 

654
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,100
that they should week is 
actually the thing that makes 

655
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:29,000
you strong and how in the world 
of thinking, oh this you know, 

656
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:33,200
Goliath sighs. 
Strength that I have can 

657
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,700
actually be the thing that you 
brings you down, but this little

658
00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:41,300
tiny David like, weakness that 
you think, oh, this is never 

659
00:33:41,300 --> 00:33:44,500
going to conquer. 
That big thing is actually the 

660
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:47,200
thing that people connect the 
most with. 

661
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,900
So do that be that little thing 
that you think nobody will 

662
00:33:50,900 --> 00:33:53,000
connect to? 
This is so ugly, nobody wants to

663
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,400
see it. 
It's actually the thing that 

664
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,400
everybody wants. 
You've gotta be really going to 

665
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,100
be authentic. 
So I think that there's a lot of

666
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:03,300
that in business and people put 
on persona, There is no place 

667
00:34:03,300 --> 00:34:04,800
for that in my business. 
Well, I get it. 

668
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,800
Like, literally last week, if 
you would see my Instagram 

669
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,199
stories like we had a tornado 
crossed through like power lines

670
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:14,400
were down chaos and happenings. 
I was like y'all are supposed to

671
00:34:14,408 --> 00:34:17,600
go on here today talking about 
my webinar but they had power 

672
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,400
lines. 
Down our generators out, we have

673
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,000
baby chicks, like we've got all 
these things going on. 

674
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,400
Stop it, baby chicks. 
They need their heat so without 

675
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:32,500
the heat of it, so I definitely 
What are your little wings? 

676
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:37,000
And then you have to be really, 
really real. 

677
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,000
And that's not something you can
Overlook. 

678
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:44,199
Yeah, I think it's so important.
I love that, man. 

679
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:48,400
That is so many nuggets there. 
And so, another thing that I 

680
00:34:48,408 --> 00:34:52,000
like to talk about on the 
podcast is so you did. 

681
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,500
It always have blue skies, 
right? 

682
00:34:54,500 --> 00:34:58,300
And it wasn't always just 
rainbows butterflies unicorns, 

683
00:34:58,300 --> 00:35:02,000
like they were moments. 
You're like, this is not, this 

684
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
is not working and this is a 
moment. 

685
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:07,700
We got a sink or swim or 
whatever it is. 

686
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:11,200
Can you describe maybe a moment 
that you re like this? 

687
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:13,100
This might be it. 
I don't know if I'm going to 

688
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:17,400
make it but you did and it's 
even better or you know whatever

689
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,100
like there's some moment like 
that you can think about better 

690
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:23,700
iBooks today which is definitely
a goal because I think this is 

691
00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:26,300
like I think everything is 
happening to me. 

692
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:28,700
Like in class. 
My brothers would be really cool

693
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:31,200
for a book, there's a lot of 
stories I could tell Steph I 

694
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,900
write a book someday. 
One of the stories, I will 

695
00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:35,900
definitely tell will be about 
the first time I tried to get a 

696
00:35:35,908 --> 00:35:40,500
website done. 
So I needed a website horribly. 

697
00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:43,400
I needed to be able to sell 
stuff without it, going through 

698
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,300
me every single time. 
It is, it wasn't feasible, it 

699
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:48,400
wasn't making sense. 
I wanted to release more courses

700
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:53,100
all the things and so I didn't 
even have time to look for a 

701
00:35:53,100 --> 00:35:55,200
website designer. 
I literally told my husband, I 

702
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,300
said find whoever you can on 
Google. 

703
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,900
I really don't even care what it
looks like if it functions and 

704
00:36:00,900 --> 00:36:04,000
we can run subscriptions on. 
Cool, that's great. 

705
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:08,300
And so we he found this girl log
actually, I found a couple of 

706
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:12,800
guys and we chose the cheapest 
one because that was how I 

707
00:36:12,808 --> 00:36:15,200
started my business. 
I'm like all Bare Bones, right? 

708
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,700
Which looking back. 
What you give? 

709
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,700
Yeah. 
And so we told the guys from the

710
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:22,600
very beginning, this is going to
be subscription. 

711
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,700
Here's what we're aiming for 
excetera and essentially, he had

712
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:28,000
simply, he was just plugging 
everything in like all the words

713
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
and I wrote all the words for 
the website myself. 

714
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,500
So really his big piece was 
doing the subscriptions. 

715
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:36,900
So I'm geared up myself and my 
customers for almost a month and

716
00:36:36,900 --> 00:36:38,500
a half. 
Like I've got Website coming, 

717
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:40,600
I'm going to website coming up 
your website coming. 

718
00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:45,100
It comes to three days before 
the website supposed to launch. 

719
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,900
He tells me that subscriptions 
are impossible and that was will

720
00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:52,500
never be able to be done. 
And nobody else in the industry 

721
00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:54,800
is doing that like we're not in 
my industry invoice that I don't

722
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,100
know whether what you're talking
about and essentially the whole 

723
00:36:58,100 --> 00:37:02,500
website imploded when I was 
talking to him about it on the 

724
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:05,500
phone, I'm like I'm pretty 
quiet. 

725
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:07,500
I'm pretty reserved, I know, 
probably doesn't feel that way 

726
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:08,600
over. 
The podcast, they have had a lot

727
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,600
of caffeine. 
It was getting kind of heated on

728
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,100
the phone and he told me he said
if you're too emotional to talk 

729
00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:19,400
about it I can just call and 
talk to your husband later and I

730
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,000
thought my head was gonna 
explode off my body. 

731
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:25,200
I don't think I've ever been so 
angry in my life. 

732
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,100
I was like, here I created a 
successful business. 

733
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:30,600
I just want to website be able 
to put things out. 

734
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,300
The people you're telling me 
subscriptions are impossible. 

735
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,200
First of all, almost nothing is 
impossible. 

736
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,600
Impossible is like, not even in 
my vocabulary. 

737
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:41,700
February at this point, like 
impossible doesn't exist to me. 

738
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,000
And so your then for you to 
demean and belittle me like that

739
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:52,500
and so I told him, I said, I 
don't care what it is, take take

740
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:55,300
the website down, I don't ever 
want to speak to you again. 

741
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,300
Definitely, not speaking to my 
husband later. 

742
00:37:57,300 --> 00:38:01,100
I don't want any piece of this 
because I think people anywhere 

743
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:05,000
near my business that a don't 
believe in me and my business, 

744
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,500
but B also be so belittling. 
Meaning the meaning either, like

745
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:13,100
come on, like why and there have
been a couple of red flags on 

746
00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:14,300
the way. 
There, been one point we were 

747
00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:17,300
talking about the website he 
like compare what I was doing to

748
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:21,000
like women that run bake sales 
and I was like, that's not it, 

749
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,700
but thank you. 
But yeah. 

750
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:29,100
Basically let me switching 
potentially my website, which is

751
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:32,400
gone overnight and we had to 
start over from scratch and we 

752
00:38:32,408 --> 00:38:36,700
had to find somebody else. 
And so doesn't sound like a big 

753
00:38:36,700 --> 00:38:38,300
deal. 
It was really Hard to find 

754
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:42,700
somebody else, hey, it took 
another month and a half of Tom,

755
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,200
B and C. 
It didn't work when I finally 

756
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:51,800
got it up to. 
So literally at the Top, If you 

757
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,100
canceled your subscription, I 
would have to go in manually and

758
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:58,600
give you access to the end of 
your paid mom. 

759
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,200
And I was actually when I about 
like close down the business 

760
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,200
altogether because like, I don't
know what I'm doing. 

761
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,600
I don't know anything about 
websites now, like I've created 

762
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:10,600
Create even more for myself. 
I'm still talking, all these 

763
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,200
people just about different 
things and it wasn't a week 

764
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,300
after that. 
Once I started fixing all these 

765
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:19,600
canceled subscriptions every day
that I heard the business coach 

766
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,500
because like if I don't figure 
something out like calm 

767
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:26,700
management wise and just like 
mental health, Law's like no 

768
00:39:26,700 --> 00:39:28,700
business. 
To me is ever worked in my 

769
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:31,200
mental health ever. 
I know it's getting to a point. 

770
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,400
I was sacrificing my mental 
health, but running those crazy 

771
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,300
hours and talking to so many 
people all the time. 

772
00:39:37,300 --> 00:39:40,100
Actually. 
If people want that God, so that

773
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:43,500
for me was a really pivotal 
point in my business because 

774
00:39:43,900 --> 00:39:47,600
number one had the confidence in
myself that was going to be able

775
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,100
to figure it out and tell this 
guy to just go away which is 

776
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:54,000
really far, but number two, then
to like, bro. 

777
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,500
Yeah, really. 
Go away, please never speak to 

778
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:58,300
you again. 
My number two, having to figure 

779
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:01,200
it out after that point, when 
I've got all these people now 

780
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,200
that are depending on me and my 
stuff working, and that was 

781
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,600
really really hard because it 
was a lot easier when I was just

782
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:09,800
And I presume and I knew for 
sure it was going to work. 

783
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,300
It was a whole different or Gill
website thankful. 

784
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:17,900
Wow, that is incredible journey.
And, you know, as you're 

785
00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:21,500
describing it to I was I was 
thinking about the fact that 

786
00:40:21,700 --> 00:40:24,800
it's a lot of the journeys from 
entrepreneurs that I hear. 

787
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,000
There's this moment that just 
feels like a Breaking Point and 

788
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,500
then they're like, can't do this
anymore and then something 

789
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:34,600
happens and they keep going. 
Yeah, I love that. 

790
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,500
You say that nothing is 
impossible and that word. 

791
00:40:37,700 --> 00:40:41,900
On your vocabulary because that 
once you get that mindset of 

792
00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:46,200
like everything is possible. 
I can do anything. 

793
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,600
I can figure it out me to open 
up my mind. 

794
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,400
I can figure it out now you're 
not afraid. 

795
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,800
There's no fear in the, there's 
fear in the world, the sphere in

796
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:59,300
the word impossible. 
There's no fear, and living in 

797
00:40:59,900 --> 00:41:02,700
everything is possible. 
And so, I just got to figure it 

798
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:05,300
out and it opens up your mind. 
And then I'll sudden you're 

799
00:41:05,300 --> 00:41:07,100
like, okay, I can figure this 
out. 

800
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,100
Is figure about this is figure 
out herbal or whatever that word

801
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:12,200
is, I can never say it, but 
everything is figure out of 

802
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,200
alright, and so you can figure 
it out. 

803
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,700
Don't panic. 
Don't don't, you know, just 

804
00:41:17,700 --> 00:41:21,800
don't give up keep going. 
And yeah, look what you've been 

805
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,600
able to do is you just kept 
going. 

806
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,700
This is just so inspiring Sarah,
I just think it's so incredible.

807
00:41:26,900 --> 00:41:30,300
So my last question is, what is 
the piece of advice for a new 

808
00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:32,500
nurse that you would say at the 
beginning? 

809
00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:35,300
If you were talking to Sarah and
she's just anxious and she's 

810
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:37,500
just finishing stuff and she's 
still pushing and she's not 

811
00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:39,100
Weeping. 
And she's on caffeine as you're 

812
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:41,600
doing all her stuff. 
You were like piece of advice 

813
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,100
for her to keep and a piece of 
advice. 

814
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:46,600
You would tell her toss it, it's
garbage. 

815
00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:49,800
What would you say? 
So, I always like to remind 

816
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,500
myself and I try to remind like 
my past self to in a way you 

817
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:56,600
make the best decisions with the
information that you have at the

818
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,900
top. 
And so like when I hired that 

819
00:41:58,900 --> 00:42:02,100
website designer, for example, 
that was the best information. 

820
00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:05,000
I had a top. 
So I think if I could like go 

821
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,900
back in time I would just be 
like Give yourself a little bit 

822
00:42:08,900 --> 00:42:12,100
of Grace because I'm so hard on 
myself, so it's in the 

823
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:13,700
beginning. 
And even today I'm still hard on

824
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:14,900
myself. 
Like it's not like magically 

825
00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:17,600
went away like I'm successful. 
But always my biggest piece of 

826
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,600
advice that people getting going
other than just get started. 

827
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,900
I hate to say that because I 
feel like it's like, generic 

828
00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:25,900
cliche but oh my God, please 
just get started. 

829
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:27,700
Whatever it is. 
You want to do, like, people get

830
00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:31,900
lost and Analysis, paralysis, 
like just put it out there, see 

831
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:34,500
what happens. 
It will be messy, it won't be 

832
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:36,900
perfect. 
And my first course I felt like 

833
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:39,100
was perfect. 
It was It was messy all the way 

834
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:42,900
around, but it was fun and we 
know we figured it out and as it

835
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:45,000
grew weary maneuver and all 
those things. 

836
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,100
But give yourself Grace could 
for it to be a little bit messy.

837
00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:50,700
Give yourself some Grace to make
some mistakes along the way 

838
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:52,800
because they're going to happen.
No matter what, especially if 

839
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,300
you're new business, I knew 
nothing about business. 

840
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:56,900
I'm still learning about 
business every day. 

841
00:42:56,900 --> 00:42:59,800
Like, I'm always trying to 
absorb more information, but it 

842
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,900
just comes along with time and 
then to delete, that one's a 

843
00:43:04,900 --> 00:43:10,100
little bit harder. 
I think in a lot of ways, kind 

844
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:14,000
of tie back to what I was 
already kind of saying to the 

845
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:18,300
Delete the analysis. 
Paralysis number one, just there

846
00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:22,100
something out there but also the
leaf is being so hard on 

847
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:24,200
yourself. 
I think part of why we are so 

848
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:29,700
hard on ourselves is We've spent
all this time, all this money, 

849
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:32,100
we've got all this education. 
There's it feels like there's 

850
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:34,900
all this. 
Just pressure all the time. 

851
00:43:35,100 --> 00:43:38,600
There doesn't have to be this 
level of pressure and so that's 

852
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,700
really it for you to decide how 
you want to maneuver that. 

853
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,300
But I think I answered your 
question. 

854
00:43:43,300 --> 00:43:46,000
I got a little bit of change it 
there but analysis for house? 

855
00:43:46,100 --> 00:43:49,800
No, no, I think you did. 
Yeah, and I think that what 

856
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:54,600
you're saying is you've got to 
look and see what life looks 

857
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,300
like for you that you can't 
judge. 

858
00:43:56,500 --> 00:44:00,200
Is that based on other people 
and what they decide looks like 

859
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,600
success. 
So you said something and I 

860
00:44:02,607 --> 00:44:06,000
again the last part of the 
interview is the rapid fire 

861
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,500
questions and so I want to ask 
you, maybe rapid-fire Ali, you 

862
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:11,100
know, I do my weapon, fire 
questions. 

863
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:15,000
Question, let's do the echo. 
Part has to be dramatic, but I 

864
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,000
want to ask you, what does 
success look like you? 

865
00:44:18,008 --> 00:44:20,500
Because you just said that word.
You said, you know, now that I'm

866
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:23,100
successful but like what does 
that? 

867
00:44:23,100 --> 00:44:25,600
How do you define that? 
Just if you can just spit out 

868
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,000
like What it looks like. 
Is it a number for you? 

869
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,900
Is it a lifestyle for you? 
Is it a, what is it? 

870
00:44:31,900 --> 00:44:34,000
What does success look like to 
Sarah? 

871
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,900
Michelle. 
Always thought success. 

872
00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:38,500
That's right. 
Other fire which is sorry now 

873
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:39,400
you're good. 
Sorry, sorry. 

874
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,700
Sorry. 
Sorry I'm quite always thought. 

875
00:44:41,700 --> 00:44:43,400
Success was a member, always, 
always always. 

876
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,900
I'm like, when I hit this, when 
I had this success is not a 

877
00:44:45,900 --> 00:44:50,400
number success is for me, 
personally, Tom, freedom, and 

878
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,400
Tom flexibility and gain to do 
the things that I want to do 

879
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,400
with my time and setting my own 
day. 

880
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,000
So like, Speak when the tornado 
hit, I took a couple of days off

881
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,300
and that was okay to do because 
I had the flexibility to do so 

882
00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:07,100
and so working in that grand and
having two full-time jobs doing 

883
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:10,800
all that stuff, I never had any 
freedom of time and it drove me 

884
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,800
nuts and it made me insane. 
And so I think that's what I was

885
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,700
craving so badly. 
And I think it's part of why I 

886
00:45:16,700 --> 00:45:22,100
love business so much. 
Guys that I know that was a 

887
00:45:22,100 --> 00:45:25,400
heavy rapid fire, but I really 
wanted to hear that because I 

888
00:45:25,408 --> 00:45:28,100
was like she, yeah, that was a 
heavy rapid fire so that 

889
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:30,900
couldn't be rapid but it was 
perfect and so rapid-fire. 

890
00:45:30,900 --> 00:45:33,400
Here we go. 
What is your favorite animal? 

891
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,100
Who favorite animal? 
I was saying, buy it right now 

892
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:40,500
is probably my baby chick. 
Oh, your baby chicks right now 

893
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:43,100
and okay, what are you watching 
on Netflix and chill? 

894
00:45:43,100 --> 00:45:45,700
Like do you Netflix and chill? 
And if you do, what are you 

895
00:45:45,700 --> 00:45:47,700
watching? 
We're watching Steel Magnolias 

896
00:45:47,700 --> 00:45:50,800
right now and we go Rotate 
through, we also did love his 

897
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,000
blond, I like things, I don't 
really have to think about to 

898
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,500
wash. 
I got like fun things to wash. 

899
00:45:54,500 --> 00:45:56,100
So we watched a lot of love as 
blotches. 

900
00:45:58,500 --> 00:45:59,900
Yeah. 
Because that that one show where

901
00:45:59,900 --> 00:46:02,200
they like get married. 
They start dating behind the 

902
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,500
door or something like that and 
then they like meat. 

903
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:06,000
Yeah. 
Yeah, the pods. 

904
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:06,800
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

905
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,500
That's such a crazy show. 
Think there was one Epic there 

906
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:14,100
was one season where like the 
girl was so horrible that like 

907
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:16,700
people made means about. 
Oh yeah, that she was like these

908
00:46:16,700 --> 00:46:22,800
and I remember yes yes. 
Yeah, I can totally see why you 

909
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,700
watch that and then you don't 
have to think it literally, it's

910
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:26,100
just brightness. 
You just sit there and you're 

911
00:46:26,100 --> 00:46:28,600
like, okay, this is great very 
entertaining. 

912
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,500
Well, thank you for your time

so many nuggets, so many truth 

914
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:37,400
bombs.

915
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,600

said today.

for you to follow me because I 

923
00:46:57,500 --> 00:46:59,600
feel like that's where I get to 
connect the most through stories

924
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,700
and stuff. 
You can also check out our 

925
00:47:01,700 --> 00:47:04,100
student Facebook group, which is
literally called, like, Sarah 

926
00:47:04,100 --> 00:47:06,300
Michelle study group. 
So you can find out really 

927
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:08,500
easily. 
And you can also connect through

928
00:47:08,500 --> 00:47:13,200
my website, which is 
www.hyken.com reviews with an 

929
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:18,300
s.com, not a review in Peru, 
reviews.com plural, but those 

930
00:47:18,300 --> 00:47:20,300
are all the ways. 
Again, the contact for me 

931
00:47:21,700 --> 00:47:23,500
perfect. 
And it was a website made by 

932
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:34,800
someone who is not a misogynist.
Just kidding, I might take that 

933
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,400
out. 
I don't know. 

934
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:36,600
I might leave it. 
I don't know. 

935
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:43,700
Who knows? 
I am so much. 

936
00:47:43,700 --> 00:47:47,100
Fun, Sarah, thank you for your 
time today and guys don't forget

937
00:47:47,100 --> 00:47:49,100
