2:46
the number one challenge you feel like you’re currently facing in that area because we really want to gear a lot of
2:52
the conversation today towards that and towards you and what’s coming up so I’m gonna pull up
2:58
the chat and and just take that take a look at that while we go
3:03
and while everyone is typing in the chat do you want to take I know we’ve got some of your audience here we’ve got
3:08
some of mine do you want to take a brief moment and introduce yourself and and say who you are and sure
3:15
Ian Koniak I run a coaching business I know some faces here so it’s
3:21
good to see a lot of you guys hey Julian what’s up Isaac Luke um and I help people Master the mindset
3:29
habits and skills needed to succeed in sales and in life so that’s me I love it
3:35
I love it um and if I have not met you yet my name is Elise I am the founder of a company
3:42
called She Sells and I feel like Ian you and I are both so aligned in what we
3:47
want to teach and and how we help people so I help women scale from six to seven figures like
3:53
help them to get their first six figures and then multi-six and seven figures beyond that but learning and mastering
3:59
sales in a way that is really aligned for them is women and again it’s a lot of the inner game
4:05
um like Ian is a real pro at teaching and I am I’m excited for the conversation today so Ian what are you
4:12
saying in the chat that people’s goals are let’s see what people are here for today I see a lot of
4:20
achievement related goals so Megan says presidents Club Jonathan bring in ten new logosĀ
4:28
Michael similar shift from current customers to new logos Julian to get to
4:33
300 of plan income John 150 I see a lot of goals specific to to targets
4:43
um to Targets in terms of percentage of quota is what I’m seeing here yeah and
4:48
just learning to sell so a lot of sales related goals as well and Dan I see you Dan is in the house of day-to-day
4:54
Cadence that brings success at work and personal happiness I’m a fan of goals like that I like Greg console developing
5:02
a mindset of abundance I think we’re going to talk about that today I think I think so too sure and
5:09
I’ll and I’ll tell you like for everyone here your mindset does determine your results your mindset and your habits I I
5:16
coach I have over 100 people in my program and the people that I work with that get the biggest
5:23
impact the quickest the ones that change their mindset about what’s possible you know and
5:29
and start believing in themselves and also change their habits so the the goal
5:35
of hitting 150 or 300 is enabled through shifting and becoming the person that’s
5:41
capable of doing that through how you think and how you work so that’s a lot of what we’re going to focus on today absolutely absolutely and so that’s so I
5:49
think let’s dive in and we just you know right off the bat like we don’t have anything to sell here we wanted to come
5:55
together and connect and just try to give back towards the end of the year help I’ll just set all of you up for
6:01
success for 2023 so and I think to kick us off you know Ian like you mentioned
6:06
you’ve got a hundred plus account execs in your program right now and I know
6:11
you’re seeing a lot in terms of what’s going on in the market what’s going on in the field
6:16
share a little bit of what you’re seeing from the work you’re doing with your clients just to kick us off yeah I
6:21
get texts and I get calls every single day kind of like Ian talk me off a ledge and that’s kind of the theme of what I’m
6:27
seeing right now in some places um I’ll just give you the high high level trends that are happening in sales
6:34
um the first one is that quota attainments down and this is not my Trends this is data coming from
6:40
um you know all over and and I’ve seen it too it’s it used to be around High
6:46
40 High 40 percent of people so 47 48 ish
6:51
um percent of reps are hitting quota now it’s dropped nearly 10 percent so low 40s high 30s so that’s a significant
6:57
drop in Quota attainment and that data came from rep view right across all orgs
7:03
if you if you don’t know rep view I highly encourage you to check it out because it’s it’s what’s happening in every company As Told by sales reps um
7:10
so that’s the first trend is it’s harder it’s harder to hit quota and that’s really being driven by customer
7:17
um customers are getting tighter right in terms of um there’s a lot more scrutiny about spend there’s a lot more oversight of of
7:24
projects and I think things are just harder with with layoffs going on and
7:30
with um just a stalling of growth companies have moved more instead of trying to grow more they’re moving
7:37
towards improving profitability or improving efficiency in their organizations which means Cuts layoffs
7:44
and ultimately doing more with less and so that’s the big trends that I see and
7:49
because people are hitting quota a little less and because there are layoffs going on there’s a lot more fear
7:56
in in the sales world and I see a lot of people that are operating from a place
8:01
of of fear of their job there’s a lot of managers that are really feeling the pressure and just passing that right
8:07
down to their teams and that results in micromanaging it results in a lot of
8:13
like kind of like intimidation like if you don’t do this you’re going to be put on a plan I had someone reach out yesterday saying their manager
8:19
threatened to put on a plan and they were number two on their team so this is something that unfortunately it’s not
8:25
unique to one or two companies I’m seeing it across the board and that’s why Elise and I wanted to do this
8:30
session because it’s very easy to let that dominate that that track of fear and uncertainty and in doubt take over
8:38
and um and that that has led to an increase in mental health challenges for sales
8:45
people and the last piece of data I’ll share is that um last year in 2021 the the mental
8:51
sales Alliance said that 58 of the the people surveyed they surveyed thousands of sales reps 58 would rate their mental
8:59
health as fair or poor in this year the survey results just came out a few weeks ago it’s gone up to 63 percent so the
9:08
the mental health I I wouldn’t say crisis but certainly sales reps aren’t thrilled and they’re not exactly in a
9:14
great space right now and that’s continuing to to get worse so those are the top trends that I’ve seen across the
9:19
industry at least gosh thank you so much for sharing that and I I want to open it up too just for any of you who you want
9:27
to share in terms of mindset like is there something coming up for you specifically we’re going to segment into talking about mindset shortly I know I
9:34
saw in the chat about um abundance mindset and personal happiness and I’ll just I’ll share so
9:41
candidly like my personal journey I was in corporate for quite a while before launching my own company and on the
9:47
outside looked like I was doing well but on the inside I had so much anxiety I was having panic attacks I had an eating
9:54
disorder and it’s like I’m not saying you have to like share all of that and stuff like that is going on for you but
9:59
I just want to let you know like you’re not alone and we want to really um we’re going to share today some of
10:05
what shifted my own experience to help create a lot of personal happiness and peace while also making more money Ian I
10:12
know you you know you obviously share your story and your journey with your clients too but we just really want this
10:18
to be a place that’s like supportive and so whatever your biggest mindset challenges are right now I think as we
10:24
go into this segment we want to open up for you to share in the chat and I think we’ll Ian what we open up to for people
10:30
to ask questions maybe get some coaches yeah we can’t we can kind of take questions as we go we’ll provide some
10:36
tips along the way for mindset and for habits for um for Success regardless of what’s
10:41
happening around you but before we do I’d love to just ask the group you know reply yes if those Trends resonate in
10:48
your company or how you’re feeling or know if they don’t I mean that’s what I’m hearing from my clients it doesn’t mean it’s everything but those are kind
10:54
of the high level I see a lot of yeses okay so to to that point you’re not alone and I think that’s important to
11:01
know it’s like in in the community Lisa and I are both through and through sales people and we we that’s how we identify
11:07
and that’s why we’re here this is important to know that what you’re going through and what you’re thinking you’re
11:12
not crazy in that it’s it’s really common across multiple companies because I see it in in at least as two so that’s
11:20
that’s why this topic is very important because it’s really about how do you get through the little voices in your head
11:26
or the the doubts and not let this these Trends or these these negative things
11:32
going on impact how you work and how you serve your clients and that’s hard to do um if unless you have the right tools to
11:38
be able to handle it so that’s a lot of what we’re going to talk about today yeah I love it I love it and for those
11:44
of you who are I know a decent amount of my audience are entrepreneurs I see some of you here on on the show too so we’ve
11:49
got such a good mix of AES entrepreneurs sales leaders so it’s like we we all
11:55
feel it in different ways right but just seeing all those yeses in the chat is huge so so why don’t we do this why
12:02
don’t we start talking about vote I’m gonna start with some mindset yeah
12:07
for sure okay awesome awesome so why don’t you kick us off we can kind of go back and forth here and
12:13
um if you have a question or if you want to receive coaching around something just can Catherine can they raise their hands I think they can raise their hands
12:19
yeah if people have questions while we’re talking let’s keep it interactive this is going to be we Elise and I
12:24
thought it’d be helpful to do like a live coaching session so if you want to bring us your challenges or your
12:29
uncertainties or any anything that maybe is going on feel free and I’ll you know share how I would coach anyone right and
12:37
same with the least so feel free to jump in as we as we’re talking we want to keep this informal and interactive so
12:42
let’s just go through and kind of popcorn back and forth the least top mindset tips so my number one mindset
12:49
tip would be focus on what you can control okay you can’t control layoffs
12:55
you can’t control economic um stock prices dropping you can’t
13:01
control your company and what their what their are communicating what you can control is how you show up every day
13:07
what you can control is how you treat other people what you can control is how hard you work and what you’re working on
13:13
so if you focus on the process of just showing up and doing the right things every day and not letting all the
13:20
outside noise affect what you actually do I think that is a key to riding the
13:25
storms because there will be storms and if you’re consistently riding whether it’s a a dark storm or whether it’s a
13:33
sunny day you know that that’s going to lead to consistent results in good times and in bad times but where people tend
13:39
to get tripped up is is when they let the things outside of their control impact how they work how they think and
13:46
then they actually stop doing the things that are going to make them successful in the first place so that would be my number one tip would be focus on what
13:53
you can control gosh I love that so much and I’ll just I’ll share one thing related to that this is something I get
13:59
to remind myself of all the time too like your current results it’s a reflection of the the past right so it’s
14:05
a reflection of who you were being in the past what you were thinking what you were doing what your actions were what
14:11
your emotional state and we get tripped up when we get so focused on what’s currently going on in our lives and so
14:18
just knowing like who you’re being so what you’re thinking what you’re feeling and what you’re doing today is going to
14:24
create a different result for you tomorrow but if we get so fixated on this deal didn’t close or my bank
14:30
account’s not where I’d like it to be like we can really get in our heads and then we just keep perpetuating more of
14:35
the same so just really remembering how that works and I think that ties in with for me I’d
14:42
say one of my favorite mindset pieces is just that mindset of abundance right which somebody had shared in the chat
14:48
that it was um that it was your goal for this year and Ian I’ll share a couple thoughts that I want to kick it to you for kind of how you think about this but
14:56
I mean we’re all in sales or entrepreneurs for those of you who are entrepreneurs
15:01
partially because we want to create abundance right we like probably we like helping people we like serving and we
15:07
want to create abundance in our lives and you can’t create abundance from lack thinking you just can’t it’s not how it
15:16
works so I think really shifting I want to kind of tie an e into what you shared
15:21
thinking about with what you can control how can you add more abundance into that
15:27
whether it’s gratitude for your current customers whether it’s um creating an abundance of
15:33
opportunities for yourself whether it’s like blessing what you do have right and
15:38
then letting that grow because what we focus on expands so that for me is part
15:43
of my daily practice we’ll get into habits a little bit more as we go we’ll talk about morning routine but really
15:48
just focusing on no matter what is going on in the external world like where am I
15:55
feeling abundant right now and where can I Express gratitude for that yeah jump in Ian yeah I have a lot of thoughts on
16:00
this but like I think it starts with knowing what is an abundant mindset to begin with so people say well what is
16:06
what is abundant what is abundance and the way I look at abundance an abundant mindset specifically
16:12
is it’s a mindset of of really focusing on serving other people
16:20
that that’s the simplest definition you see when we get in our heads and we want
16:25
to just serve ourselves and we put our own selfish needs ahead
16:30
of those of others generally we fall pretty hard and I I am living walking
16:36
proof of that and did everything the wrong way for for a very long time until I nearly lost everything but when I
16:42
shifted my mindset to serving other people and really how can I actually help other people
16:50
um and how can I actually try to do good you know in in terms of I’ll share a few
16:56
examples of what this looks like but when I’m with clients an abundant mindset when I’m selling is let’s see if I can help them first let’s
17:03
have a conversation and if I am a fit I’m going to share how I can help them and if I’m not I’m going to direct them
17:09
to the right place I’m not attached to the outcome of getting a sale
17:15
I’m attached to seeing whether or not I can help someone in this conversation and if I can then it’s my obligation to
17:24
share how right so that’s a very abundant mindset going into a sales call without the expectation of I need to
17:31
close because I don’t need to close I don’t care about closing what I care about is helping my clients and if I can
17:37
then closing is a natural outcome of that so that’s an example of abundant mindset with with clients an example of
17:43
an abundant mindset with family is when I’m with my wife I’m going to be present
17:49
I’m going to put down my phone and I’m going to listen and maybe her problems or her complaints are not something I
17:56
necessarily am thinking about but those are important to her and therefore I’m going to listen and just be present and
18:02
acknowledge it versus being dismissive and saying what are you worrying about something this doesn’t matter right so again you can take an abundant mindset
18:09
anywhere but in my mind it really does come come down to this shift from being
18:15
inward focused on my needs first to outward focused on how can I serve the needs of other people when you do that
18:22
generally your needs get served in an even bigger way than if you’re focusing on only serving your own needs so I’ll
18:28
stop there that’s how I look at abundant mindset I love that so much I love that so much
18:34
um I want to look at we had a couple questions coming in the chat that could be good to call people up for some
18:39
coaching sure Ryan Johnson asked how do you know the right things to work on
18:45
Ryan do you want to come off mute I don’t know where you are but do you want to come yeah there you go awesome hey
18:52
Ryan hey all right so your question was how do you know the right things to work on
18:57
tell us a little bit more about that yeah so I’m I work in the Telecom industry and there’s
19:05
um if anybody’s ever worked in kind of a software um as a solution kind of cell thing you
19:11
have to go through I have to go through so many different things to get the sale to go to complete it’s a pretty complex
19:16
selling process and so I find myself every day where it’s like well I have
19:22
this deal I’m working on I have this deal I’m working on so I need to process it through this way I have I need to set
19:28
time I’ll um I need to set time aside for prospecting but I have to drive too much I have to drive two hours to go to my
19:34
area to prospect so it’s like I just find myself always bouncing around and I and at the end of the week when I look
19:40
at my week I’m like I don’t feel like I got anything done because I’m just jumping all over the place you mind if I
19:46
take this one Elise no I was just gonna say Ian take it and roll with it yeah so Ryan I there’s really in sales there’s
19:53
two things that two buckets of activities that you should be working on that are the right things to work on
19:59
okay the first bucket is anything to advance Pipeline and that comes first
20:05
okay that comes before prospecting you see if you have a deal and you have to
20:10
do a lot of steps to advance it if you don’t do those steps in favor of maybe trying new clients or cold calling that
20:16
deal is going to slip through right the intention of the client to move forward is going to waver and diminish with time
20:23
so you have to prioritize any deals where you’ve already met with the clients you’ve had your first meeting
20:28
maybe the next step is a demo maybe it’s a business case maybe it’s you know getting your Executives with their
20:34
Executives it’s going to be different for every client depending on what you sell and how long your sales cycle is
20:40
but I always look at my Pipeline and I say what are the next steps in this
20:45
um in this deal and that comes first that is the number one priority and that happens in the first part of my day so
20:52
that’s advancing pipeline bucket and that’s any next step on any active deal in your pipeline that’s a real
20:57
opportunity the second bucket is creational pipeline so if you’re
21:02
spending all day every day advancing pipeline your pipeline’s full that’s a good thing you don’t need to in fact in
21:08
Salesforce I usually prospected my I had an Enterprise account so a lot of those deals were you know six to nine months
21:14
12 months sometimes multiple years to sell and I only had a handful of accounts so I didn’t always see the
21:19
money right away but I had to trust the process and the execution sometimes these were 20 30 40 meetings before an
21:27
actual sale would occur if it was a seven or eight figure deal so I I had to have this faith of like what’s the right
21:34
thing to be doing to advance the deal so it’s really important to have a mutual plan that you’re working towards to have
21:39
a project plan you’re almost a project manager at that point and executing and planning those next steps so if your
21:46
pipeline’s full that’s your first priority if your pipeline’s not full and if you’ve exhausted every next step in
21:51
your active deal that means it’s time to Prospect and then it’s a matter of the second bucket which is creation Pipeline
21:57
and that creational pipeline entails a lot of activities it’s not just prospecting it’s the research on how do
22:03
you personalize and create a relevant message for your clients it’s the actual sending of emails it’s the actual
22:08
copywriting to send out it’s video potentially on LinkedIn it’s you know prospecting picking up the phone it’s
22:13
you know looking at the people and maybe watching their web webinar or something about them where you can use to gain
22:19
insights on what you’re going to use in your messaging so there is really unlimited amount of activities you could
22:26
do that falls under that prospecting bucket but the way I always Pro order it is advancement comes first because I
22:32
don’t want deals that are you know already in pipeline to slip through the cracks and once I’m done advancing I move to creation and everything else is
22:39
noise everything else that’s busy work or unrelated to advancing and creation generally I try to say no to or delegate
22:46
that’s kind of how I structure my my habits my day so that I know I’m working on the right things and then just having
22:52
Blind Faith that it’s going to work out and trusting the process rather than being impatient patience is a huge part
22:58
of this yeah and and I guess that’s that’s that’s the hardest part is that having that Blind Faith that like okay
23:05
I’m I’m going through these steps and I’m hoping that this these steps actually turn out and I guess that’s
23:11
just part of being in sales right so it is and especially if you have a long sales cycle where your deals take a lot
23:16
longer and there’s a lot of steps involved you almost really need to just for Enterprise I see this all the time
23:22
because it might take eight months and you might have seven zeros up to that deal and then all of a sudden it’s it’s
23:28
seven figures and then you made your number for the year so that that’s the nature of a more strategic selling cycle
23:34
versus a more transactional where you have kind of a lot of sales going on and a lot of um velocity I would say so it
23:40
just depends on what you sell and how long it takes okay thank you you’re welcome awesome question yeah so
23:46
advancing then creation was the the bottom line takeaway there and I think incorporating you can incorporate the
23:52
abundance mindset piece into that too right it’s like when you’re doing the activities right and having that
23:57
abundance mindset how can I have abundance and service mindset while I reach out while I do each step of the process
24:03
um just to help stay in that energy of Faith so we had um Mike said I’d like to
24:10
work more on a mindset of gratitude Mike did you want you want some coaching around that I mean I think that’s
24:16
something we can probably a lot of people can relate to I don’t see where you are Mike but feel free to come off
24:22
mute if you wanted some support around that let’s see here
24:30
well while you so Mike feel free to you know feel free to come off mute I saw Amanda too said I like the idea of
24:37
an abundant mindset how do you train yourself to think bigger which I really love I love you want to take some of
24:43
those yeah yeah Amanda are you Amanda do you want
24:48
to come off mute there we go hey hi how are you guys amazing how are you I’m
24:53
great thank you for doing this today I appreciate it all of this is obviously stuff we think about every day within
25:00
our sales careers I am an I.T consultant so I work with a lot of I.T leaders
25:07
and their leadership teams and you know you get the you get the little
25:13
deals you’re working with your management um to grow the business and especially
25:18
now when they’re saying hey what are you going to do next year give us an idea um and you don’t want to come in too
25:25
small of growth but you know that these deals take you know eight to ten months
25:31
sometimes to get off the ground how do you typically approach that as
25:36
far as like again you know thinking big like you know I’m gonna hit my number and then some
25:42
and not not getting you know stuck in the trenches
25:47
of your mind I mean I’ll share what worked for me and
25:52
then you know I’ll kick it over to you to add in anything there but for me it’s all about like what type of thinkers are
25:59
you surrounding yourself with so you’ll always be and people know this right but it’s like are we actively doing this
26:05
you’re always going to think like the average of the five people who you’re around the most so for me I was stuck at
26:11
the six figure level for about 10 years and it wasn’t until and I’ll share numbers for context here just to kind of
26:18
understand the value of this um and I wanted more for my life you know I wanted I wanted a bigger life I
26:25
want to be able to give more contribute more Etc so I knew there was something in my thinking that was keeping me stuck
26:31
because I was doing all the right things but staying stuck creating the same results every year and I finally I hired a mentor who was a
26:39
multi-millionaire who was also a mom who was like I wanted to know how she thought like
26:45
that was really it I wanted to know how she thought and as I started to see
26:50
thought patterns in her of just one was like unavailability for any sort of lack in her life and just being completely
26:57
Unapologetic about it right like I’m worth it I own it and like her energy was just a different level of energy and
27:04
I wanted to start thinking like how does she think I joined a mastermind of other women who were going for seven figures and it was with that like my results
27:12
transformed and I 10x my income in six weeks and so it’s it was who I was
27:18
around because I knew that if I wanted to think bigger I had to be around people who were going to challenge my
27:23
thinking and keep telling me you’re thinking too small you’re thinking too small and most people won’t tell you that right for all of you like you’re
27:30
you’re high Achievers if you’re here like the fact that you’re here you’re motivated you’re a high achiever
27:36
um even if you’re earlier in a role and you haven’t seen those results yet I just know by the fact that you’re here you are a high achiever probably a lot
27:43
of the people around you are not going to be like a next they’re not going to have Next Level thinking
27:49
for you right they might look to you and say like oh he’s got huge results or she’s got huge results you need to get in the room with people who are thinking
27:56
way bigger than you that make you feel like not in a bad way but help you see how small the thinking has been up until
28:02
this point so that’s what that’s what I would say Ian what would you what would you say to that I I would Echo that I I
28:10
just got off call with Isaac who’s on the call right now he’s like I have this great opportunity to have this great job
28:15
and I said well it’s not that great and and it’s not because it’s not great
28:22
it’s because I see hundreds of different you know opportunities and it’s about
28:27
getting perspective outside of your circle I I would agree with that a hundred percent and and so just having
28:34
exposure to me Isaac gets a different lens of the
28:39
opportunity and where you know where where he could be you know focusing and and how we should be thinking about that
28:46
so I think I think that’s one the only thing I would add is, I think that
28:52
thinking bigger if you’re thinking bigger for yourself that’s great but if you’re thinking
28:59
bigger for your client then that’s a a like you’re you’re a vessel for them so
29:05
if you’re if you’re trying to sell a a big deal and your clients only thinking
29:11
about it small and that small project is not going to have an impact a material impact on their business it’s not going
29:17
to have a material impact on their their financial goals or their company goals you’re doing them a disservice so if you
29:25
know in the right thing that they need a full overhaul of their I.T infrastructure and that that’s the way
29:31
they’re gonna move faster innovate quicker Amanda in their business it’s your obligation to tell them that so
29:38
it’s like begin with the end in mind say look we can start here but where you really need is this let me show you a
29:44
road map on how you can get there let’s work on a phased approach but we’re working towards a full overhaul so
29:50
that’s what clients want they want someone who can challenge them to think bigger and do things differently
29:55
especially if there’s struggling especially if they’re not achieving their goals you know having someone to
30:01
tell you hey you’re doing it all wrong without necessarily calling their baby ugly right that that’s a that’s that’s a
30:08
skill in sales that I think will serve you very well when you can go and say hey you need to be thinking about this a
30:14
little differently you’re thinking here but really you need to look at the big picture so how do you become a trusted
30:19
advisor well you need to know about what’s happening in the industry you need to know about how companies are
30:25
innovating Faster by over hauling their I.T organization you need to know specifically what people in their roles
30:31
are facing so I always like to look at industry research I always like to you know stay equipped with Trends one of
30:38
the reasons why I’m we’re doing this is because mindset and habits are one of the biggest areas that sales reps are
30:43
struggling with now so it’s like where you have to have a pulse to be able to say with confidence and certainty you’re
30:50
thinking about this maybe a little bit smaller than what you could here’s what I see for you and then they can say well
30:55
that’s great but we’re right here right now okay well great we’ll start here but we need to still be looking outward at
31:01
this bigger vision and here’s why that’s important and I want to make sure we’re working towards that are you aligned because if you’re not maybe we’re not
31:07
the right partner maybe you know you’re better off just hiring a company that can just do this one job for us versus
31:13
partnering with us so that’s kind of the way I would think about it is like think bigger in service of your clients versus
31:18
just in service of like getting a bigger deal done for yourself right because if you have a bigger Vision that you’re
31:24
helping a client execute it’s going to mean bigger deals bigger commissions that’s just a natural outcome yeah I
31:29
love that thank you and I think it applies the reverse engineering how you want your life to look too 100 so thank
31:36
you yeah that’s so good that’s so good and Ian what you were talking about reminded me of for any of you who’ve
31:42
read science of getting rich this concept of the impression of increase right which is that all of us just our
31:47
nature is we want to expand we want increase so Ian to what you said of helping your clients see the potential
31:54
for increase in their life right right and in their business and what you’re selling like that’s huge that’s going to get people excited that’s going to get
32:01
them to for the right ones right to want to say yes and move forward so um amazing we had we had another
32:09
question I’m kind of you know you I just want to like go through questions right now
32:15
for sure well we’ll we will fit in our points as we go I want to get habits too
32:20
though we’re about halfway through it I want to talk about like so that’s daily daily habits if if we let’s talk about
32:26
this let’s do one more are you cool if we do one more question on belief then we can talk about habits sure yeah we
32:31
had I think this was good I think this was a good one so um Damien I don’t know if I’m pronouncing your name correctly but you
32:38
said thoughts on belief and attainability I was given a new really aggressive number and having some major doubts which how many can relate to
32:45
having doubts around your goal right so I think that would be really good to speak to um you want to first of all how do you
32:51
pronounce your name yeah go ahead oh you got it right oh great okay yeah yeah for sure
32:58
um yes I work in the cyber security space um there’s like a managed cyber security provider right companies bringing us on
33:05
so they don’t build out their own infosec team and yeah my new goals are just way larger
33:10
than last year you know because we take a land and expand approach right so some expansion but just the amount of net new
33:16
low because I’m gonna need to bring in the next year and I’m having to do a presentation next week to my board on
33:22
how I’m going to hit this number and it’s like kind of one of those things like here’s your number go figure it out
33:28
and tell us how you’re going to do it and I’m like I have no freaking clue how I’m gonna do it so it’s going to be a thought why I thought this was so
33:34
relevant was like well I’ve got to figure out how I’m gonna do this and really believe it because otherwise like this means to go awful next week
33:42
so yeah um and you want to start um I like Napoleon Hill’s book Think
33:49
and Grow Rich and he says whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can
33:56
achieve so if you don’t believe it it ain’t gonna happen because your actions
34:01
in your you know your plan is not going to support it but I I would say in in
34:07
general um there’s the there’s the emotional side of belief and then there’s the
34:13
planning and The Logical side and they’re different different parts so for for the emotional side
34:19
um you know it’s interesting the the there’s a guy I I listen to he has a
34:24
podcast it’s great his name is Ed mylett and he talks about this concept
34:30
of a internal thermostat so if you think of your opportunity everyone’s got an
34:39
internal thermostat so elise’s was around six figures right and it’s like I’m a six figure earner this is where
34:44
I’m comfortable this is what I’m meant to do and then once she surrounded herself by people that were doing seven
34:49
figures and you know much more successful people that brought him so the two ways to expand your belief into
34:59
actually run think of the think of your thermostat as your operating temperature the Rhythm which you run and maybe
35:06
you’re running as a 200k a year earner and that’s what you do and that’s kind of where you’re comfortable well if you
35:11
get really hot sometimes you self-sabotage and go down and if you go really slow then you pull yourself up right so we’re always comfortable well
35:17
if you want to raise that internal thermostat that the key is to again it goes down to
35:26
um surrounding yourself by people that are doing large deals in that space of
35:32
cyber security so are there companies doing four five six million if your target went from a million to to 2
35:38
million you’re maybe like oh my gosh that’s impossible it’s doubled but I I know people in cyber security that have
35:44
a four million Target that are hitting it right so it’s like finding those experts in in that industry that are
35:50
capable either within your company or outside of your company and learning what they do and how they do it and and
35:57
connecting with them I think is it strengthens belief it strengthens belief
36:02
when you have people that have walked before you that you can model in their
36:08
footsteps for so I think that’s one part of it and the second part of it then is is really getting a plan working
36:15
backwards right so I I didn’t believe it was possible for me to run a marathon
36:20
and I certainly didn’t believe it was possible for me need to do it in the time I did it but then I found a mentor who
36:26
um you know did marathon training and he gave me a plan and sure enough I just followed the plan and and I and I hit my
36:31
goal so I think that is a big part of it is like you need to have some guidance it’s not just go figure it out it’s like
36:39
okay we’ll work with your boss work with other people to get the right plan and then back into it
36:45
um I’m going to give you a video I just made I think it was released today on my YouTube on how to strengthen your
36:52
beliefs but I have a five-step process for that right and it’s it’s really again it’s about finding a mentor right
37:00
it’s about visualizing and feeling into the success before it even happens it’s about
37:06
um you know getting the right plan and then it comes down to again trusting the process and not getting attached to the
37:13
outcome but knowing you know that your plan is right and once you do those things you’re going to feel more confident so I’ll drop that in the chat
37:19
for you um Damien so then you can kind of see it but you gotta you gotta have more than
37:25
just figure it out you gotta have like a road map and ideally a model who is
37:30
doing some big numbers in your space that you can learn from and model after no this is super helpful appreciate it
37:38
anything to add a lace on it yeah you know I think um gosh you know it’s it’s so good like
37:45
it’s all perspective right so kind of like to Ian’s point of get a mentor get get around people who have done that
37:50
like it may feel big to you Damien but would it be big to everyone right like would it feel and you could just use
37:56
people who you know or who you don’t know like would it feel like a big number to Ian I don’t know would it feel like a big number to at least I don’t
38:02
know right but like it’s all context right it’s all perspective and I would say two other two other
38:10
things so one is you’ve got this number for a reason right and anytime I
38:16
something happens in my life that feels challenging or feels like I don’t know how I’m gonna do it I go through an
38:22
exercise an old Mentor of mine would have me do which is I’m thrilled this is happening because it doesn’t matter what it is it’s like something could go
38:28
sideways a deal could go wrong and get a big challenge I don’t know how I’m gonna do it I’m thrilled this is happening because and I forced myself to list out
38:34
10 different reasons why I’m thrilled and I think I would really look at for you like who do I get to become in the
38:41
process right so like first of all like I got this because the only reason I could get this is if it’s possible for
38:46
me and then who am I gonna get to become in the process and also really I don’t
38:53
want to spend too much time on the sticks I know we want to get to habits but the way the Mind Body Connection works is when we have a negative so our
39:00
thoughts trigger our feelings so when we have a negative feeling in our body a feeling of Doubt a feeling of in
39:07
security it’s actually your body’s feedback mechanism that you’re thinking something in that moment that’s not true
39:12
for you so when you have a feeling of doubt I would really examine the thought of what did I just think did I just
39:19
think I can’t do this my body’s literally telling me right now that’s not true it’s like I was just thinking a
39:25
lie right so again we could do like a deep dive on um on neuro programming and everything
39:31
here which we’re we don’t have time for but just knowing that feedback loop I think is so important and just because
39:37
you think a thought doesn’t mean it’s actually true right so um yeah a little bit to add on there so
39:45
um awesome awesome
39:51
I just dropped the five steps there for you in the chat too so you can have that in the video okay amazing literally just
39:58
published this today so it’s a great question you want to transition to some habits let’s talk about let’s talk about
40:04
habits because we started talking about it at the beginning and you were telling me about your most perfect morning routine today which I was like I like
40:11
all of it except for one part so let’s talk habits let’s get into it I
40:16
like it so here here’s the thing about habits okay ah habits change your mindset
40:24
when you when you’re doing things that are healthy that are positive that are productive you feel better and you and
40:31
you think in a in a better way so people will say what comes first mindset or habits it’s like the chicken of the egg
40:37
right there’s no right answer because you have to you have to think differently to change how you how you
40:42
work and how you operate but in my experience just doing things differently actually makes you think differently so
40:48
the two are interlinked tremendously and for me um my number one recommended habit and
40:55
it’s not one habit it’s a series of habits but having a morning routine and starting the morning off with
41:02
um winning is what will set you up and set up the rest of the day for success and so I’m
41:08
I’m not gonna recommend doing my morning routine because it is you know a result
41:14
of 60 years of personal development um Elise and I are both very into personal development and and I think it
41:19
would be a lot for people to take on but I can share what I did this morning and people ask me Ian how’s your energy so
41:25
high all the time how are you consistently so you know positive or in a good mood and I’m like well it’s
41:31
because I set myself up through what I’m doing before I see you so in the morning typically
41:37
um I’ll just share this morning so I woke up around seven not like crazy early not like five or four a.m like
41:44
some of these people but for me it was seven o’clock and I went and I I had an
41:49
energy Shake right with with vitamins and greens and you know super you know charged me physically
41:55
um then I went on a three mile run nothing nothing crazy but nice 30 minute run popped in a cold shower which woke
42:04
my butt up and also got a lot of the the blood Circa calculating and was really
42:10
good for my cells and my skin um by now I’m feeling pretty good okay I got the shower the energy shake well so
42:16
that’s like the physical part of the morning routine is doing something physical that is going to make you feel good and then the mental part began so
42:23
after that I went and I did a daily affirmation now for people that struggle
42:30
with mindset and I do too all the time again I I come from a family of addict addicts and I struggle with addiction
42:36
myself so I have to constantly you know put myself into the Abundant mindset and the way I do that is through
42:42
affirmations and so I created an affirmation that I can share with everyone because it’s
42:48
it’s really um new for me I I do affirmations all the time but I just updated mine that’s
42:54
more around spirituality so I I affirmation is something you say to yourself every morning that reminds you
43:00
of how you want to show up in your best life right and it comes down to being in service of other people so I am kind
43:07
loving and humble in spirit this is how I want to show up my second is I’m hardworking focused and disciplined in
43:14
action right how do I work my habits my interactions I respect listen and
43:20
stay present with others okay I know that’s a challenge for me being ADHD so really being focused and being attentive
43:27
I lead by example do do what I say you’re going to do I Inspire others to be their best and I put God’s will
43:33
before my own which came from my addiction recovery and so I know if I’m focused on my selfish desires I tend to
43:40
behave badly and don’t feel good but when I’m focusing on serving other people and being an example and you know
43:46
and putting God first that that helps me um truly not only feel great but serve others at a higher capacity and then I
43:52
have a picture in my family which reminds me of why I’m doing what I’m doing so that is something I read it’s
43:58
pinned to my mirror in my bathroom I read it out loud in in on days when
44:03
maybe I’m not feeling so hot at least I know how I want to show up and that programs my brain to show up that way if
44:10
you see it every day you’re gonna do it so I highly recommend affirmations then I I say a prayer and I did a it was a
44:17
10 minute meditation and then I started my day so imagine how great you feel after exercising after seeing an
44:25
affirmation after connecting spiritually and after meditating right so these are things that do I do it perfect every day
44:31
no but I try to get into exercise or meditation in which gets me grounded and
44:37
starting the day right so that’s that extends then to how I interact with other people and you know how I can show
44:44
up um in service of other people so that that’s the the morning routine and for anyone who wants to kind of incorporate
44:51
all of those elements there’s a great book called The Miracle morning by Hal Elrod and he talks about that doesn’t
44:56
need to look exactly like mine you got to do what works for you but I find that’s like one of the biggest hacks
45:02
that you can make to getting your mind and your habits right is is to start the day with a very healthy morning routine
45:09
yeah amazing um and I mean if it’s I can share I can share like mine is so it’s funny because
45:15
it’s similar but it’s different and I think yeah share yours I’d love to hear it at least yeah I mean I think that’s just like the takeaway from this is you
45:21
get to pick what works for you and I think it’s different for different life phases that we’re into so I’m like I am
45:28
a super early riser mine starts at three but I also go to bed at eight I’m like a grandma so that’s it’s just it I get my
45:35
sleep but it’s just different I do everything Ian does except for the cold shower
45:41
um I just start mine differently I start with the um with more of the mindset piece so I list I actually have my
45:46
affirmations recorded and it’s like a vivid description of how I want my life to be like whatever the next kind of
45:53
goal is in my life that I’m working on and it’s about a five minute recording I listen to it first thing when I wake up
45:59
because when you wake up your subconscious is more open so it’s a lot easier to program yourself so that’s the first thing I do
46:05
again I do a longer meditation I do like 45 minutes to an hour kind of depending on the day
46:11
um but I’ll do that I’ll study and then physical part of mine is not as rigorous as he and so I’ll like I’ll hop on the
46:18
treadmill and kind of answer DMS or answer emails while I’m going but I always make sure before I get in my
46:23
inbox before I get in reactive mode I’ve got that time for me to get really grounded and like anchored in for
46:30
spiritual connection with who I want to be with how I want to show up um and so I think it’s like you get to
46:35
kind of pick what works for you but you’ll hear commonalities and elements in both of those of of what really
46:42
matters you know so um and you feel good I mean how do you not feel good starting the day that way
46:48
and that’s really what it’s about when you feel good you can show up your best and you can serve others at a high level
46:54
so it starts with yourself you can’t pour from an empty cup you can’t serve others if you’re depleted and so taking
47:01
care of your mind your body your connection your relationship I know I have two kids at least you know as a
47:07
family right it’s like how do you balance it all well you you have to make time you have to prioritize your health
47:12
and you have to prioritize your connections and relationships and that enables you to then I think just operate
47:19
at a much higher capacity and cope with stress in a much healthier way 100 100 I
47:26
want to um there’s a quick question of meditation Michael I do um Joe dispenza’s which is why they’re so long
47:33
um in what type of meditation do you do I have the waking up app so I I
47:39
um it’s usually 10 to 15 minutes per meditation it’s kind of a more intellectual approach to meditation
47:45
versus a embody it’s like explaining what’s going on and why and it’s for people that are Skeptics about it which
47:51
which I was um you know to for me honestly it just helps me focus it helps with the ADHD
47:57
for sure awesome awesome we got some JD fans in the house I love it um Ian what do you Here’s my thought
48:04
tell me if this works for you I would love to spend like one to two minutes on end of day acknowledgment and then I think everyone’s going to want to hear
48:10
your daily planning process cool are you good if we if we roll with those go for
48:16
it is that cool okay so I’ll do super quick on end of day acknowledgment and then I want you to take over with with
48:21
your planning process I think for for your mental health and for you to
48:27
continue to just stay motivated something that so many of us forget to do but is so important is that
48:34
acknowledgment of yourself at the end of the day right so you can hear what I love about Ian’s heart like you can hear
48:39
it on this webinar it is so service minded and it’s like if I’m just showing up and serving people like I’m winning
48:44
which is true it’s how it works and on top of that I think it’s also so
48:51
important to show up for yourself and acknowledge yourself for how you showed
48:56
up during the day regardless of whether or not you had a sale regardless of whether or not you hit like a specific
49:02
goal because we can’t control all of those factors but acknowledging yourself or what am I proud of myself for so this
49:10
may sound corny but I swear to you it is one of it’s one of the biggest things that created an up level in my life and
49:16
I have my clients do it and they make a lot more money when they do it so I’ll just put it out there so the end of the
49:22
day looking at yourself in the mirror I know again it sounds corny just give it a try and this is from Lisa Nichols so this
49:29
is not Amy Lee sarcher original if any of you follow Lisa Nichols she’s a great motivational speaker and you just speak
49:35
to yourself and you say to yourself like I’m proud of you for and you list out seven things you can journalist by the
49:41
way or you can just think it if it feels really corny to look at yourself in the mirror but I’m proud of you for right it’s like I’m proud of you for
49:48
exercising today I’m proud of you for um getting up on time I’m proud of you
49:53
for um giving your best on that sales call right like whatever it is proud of
49:59
myself for seven things then you forgive yourself for one thing so for me it would be like at least I
50:04
forgive you for and then whatever I fell into an old habit I judge myself I judge
50:10
somebody else and then the final is um I commit to you that so I feel like at least I commit to
50:16
you that and it’s seven things I commit to you that you’re going to have a great night’s sleep I commit to
50:22
you that you’re going to achieve all your goals and more I commit to you that everything you want wants you back I commit to it’s like whatever it is that
50:28
I need to speak over my life um I say that and it’s that building of this it will build yourself image
50:35
tremendously and your income will always be it it’s it’s based on your self-image
50:42
right so um so if you say that out loud do you write it and journal it when you
50:47
do the when you do those those so it depends but I’m just doing mirror work I don’t say it out loud because usually my husband and my son are in the Next Room
50:54
and I don’t want them to like look at me like a lunatic so like I’ll say it in my head or if I’m by myself I’ll Journal it
51:00
like if I’m journaling I’ll Journal it gotcha yeah but it makes a huge difference in your self-image so I think
51:06
it’s how you go to bed too you know totally yeah well you’re falling asleep pretty early so you need to do this like
51:12
at 5 PM or something no no you’re not wrong
51:19
can we I think there’s a there’s an underlying theme Here of just self-awareness
51:25
you know knowing who you are and staying true to your values knowing who you are and living your values right if you
51:31
don’t take the time to even know who you are how are you going to write an affirmation how are you going to Express gratitude how are you going to plan and
51:38
dream big and like that’s at the underlying like root of all of this is
51:44
like who are you and what do you stand for and then once you know that are you going to live your values every day and
51:50
then having tools to say okay maybe I didn’t live my values today maybe you know I didn’t have a perfect day but
51:57
that’s okay right and I forgive myself and tomorrow’s a new day and and we’re all human we all struggle Elise and I we
52:04
have our struggles I guarantee you I I do every day right but you have to choose
52:10
consciously how you’re going to show up and you have to you know make sure that’s the line with with your values
52:16
and so I think that again this this comes down to this journey of
52:21
self-awareness that we’re all on and once you know yourself then you know what is in alignment and what’s out of
52:27
alignment and if you’re out of alignment you you need to Pivot and course correct and if you’re in alignment you can you
52:34
can feel good at the end of the day and sleep well at night knowing you you know you did your best so I love that
52:39
practice Elise and I think it’s nice to put it all together for sure so awesome
52:45
you want to take I want to make sure we have like two minutes and then we can just kind of do q a for
52:52
the last like seven or eight minutes and just do some coaching with what people resonate so um I I will say I’ve been thinking a lot
53:00
about this and I just want to share it so why are people unhappy why are people
53:05
you know never content Never Satisfied in sales and outside of sales too right
53:11
some of those stats that we talked about and I think Elise hit on it but it’s focusing on what you’re not doing
53:18
and looking at what’s wrong versus appreciating what you are doing and and
53:24
acknowledging what what’s actually progress or right so I think that that’s really important like the source of
53:30
misery comes from like comparing yourself to others or thinking about all the gaps of all the things that you didn’t do
53:36
because look there’s never enough things to get done in a day right there’s just we all have the same amount of time in
53:41
the day so I think that that’s like giving yourself Grace in realizing that there’s no such thing
53:48
as perfect is so essential to being happy and being fulfilled because it
53:55
just doesn’t exist perfect doesn’t exist right there’s no such thing as a perfect day you’re all even if you have the
54:00
perfect day you might snap at your kids because they’re impatient and you might have values and I don’t snap I I don’t
54:06
yell but maybe you slip and that’s because we’re human and then we’re all we’re all gonna make
54:13
mistakes but if you can make those mistakes a little bit less frequently every day or maybe a little bit less
54:18
time you are going to be better each year right and so that’s
54:24
that’s kind of the grace the concept of Grace and giving yourself Grace is is what Elise is talking about with the I
54:31
forgive myself for and I just love that and I think it’s really important right um so to to feel better at the end of
54:40
the day typically if you’re in sales or you’re an entrepreneur
54:45
the way you’re going to feel better at the end of the day is if you have a productive day okay if you get things
54:51
done that you want to and you aim to accomplish and so for me I’m just gonna
54:57
share the 10 000 foot view of how I get more done in a week than most people do
55:03
in a month and I can say that very very confidently okay um per context I have a family of four
55:10
people I have two little little boys two and six years old my wife is a full-time
55:15
mom and she wants me present around um I take four vacations a year and probably another four or five weekend
55:21
getaways um I run a seven-figure coaching business I also am active in the recovery Community I post every day on
55:28
LinkedIn so I’m doing a lot and I’m not saying that to brag I’m saying it and I
55:33
ran a marathon I’m saying that because it is possible to hit the goals in your
55:38
personal life and your family life and in your business life if you manage your time efficiently and that’s what it
55:45
comes down to okay so what I do I have two techniques I use to manage my time
55:50
efficiently the first is a um I can send this to everyone who registered as a follow-up if we have the
55:58
registration link but I use a system called the 12 week year
56:04
and this is a really really simple um system that I do once a week on a
56:11
Monday morning usually and I’ll write down here the critical things that I want to get done this week okay and then
56:21
what happens with the 12-week year is I’m going to share my screen because I think it’s easier than seeing my little
56:26
my little paper here um is at the end of the week um or at the beginning of the week I
56:32
will prioritize this and I I print it out I print it out I do it every week so it’s it’s called a weekly scorecard and
56:39
I write here are the key actions and I brained up all the things that I want to get done and then I rank them in
56:45
priority so from 1 to 15 or however many are on the list
56:51
and then that’s my start of the week so the reason why is this eliminates what’s called decision fatigue indecision
56:57
fatigue is like oh my gosh I have so much to do where do I start well if you just take the time to prioritize and
57:03
rank it you can see I’ve done one I’ve done two I’ve done three and we’re on a Tuesday already so
57:10
I got seven critical things done that I needed to do yesterday okay so that’s
57:15
the first part of it the second part of it is the daily planning so once you do the weekly planning using the scorecard
57:22
then you could pivot to the Daily planning which is at the beginning of the day I usually take about 10 minutes
57:29
and I fill in the white space of my calendar and all I do is I go in the order of importance and again the things
57:36
that are the most important are the rgas advancing deals or things in my case related to my upcoming lunch for my new
57:42
program so I’ll go in and I will look at the calendar and I will fill in the white space so my calendar
57:50
has things on here that are both meetings and tasks so yesterday I fixed
57:57
something in my portal it’s done right I finished this download it’s done I
58:03
created the workbook it’s done right so again I have this listed out and it’s a direct feed from the weekly scorecard so
58:10
white space is dead space white space is where we put take our foot off the gas
58:16
where we slack off where we go to distractions or habits you don’t see YouTube or Instagram or a bunch of
58:22
personal stuff in here it’s it’s I’m working on the things that actually move the needle in my business so in my
58:28
experience you can go back to my calendar and look at every week for years and years and it’ll always look
58:33
the same right so it’ll be a mix of meetings and tasks that are high
58:39
priority and I do that every day in the beautiful thing about the system is I
58:44
already know at the beginning of the day what I’m doing because I’m just going off of this 12-week year and the most important things get done first and so
58:51
that that to me that that’s it’s it’s like a to-do list on steroids because there’s a prioritization component here
58:58
and that just is what I use to to do my planning every day amazing that’s so awesome I thinkĀ
59:05
yeah so you’ll send that out we’ll we’ll get you the list of everyone register you’ll send that out so I’ll send the
59:11
template for the weekly scorecard I recommend printing it so it’s right in front of you if you look at my desk you can’t see it but there’s only two pieces
59:17
of paper right there’s the marathon training plan the running Plan and there’s this plan
59:23
and that’s it you don’t need clutter you Sim less is more fewer things that are
59:29
the right things executed is is how you get to Seven figures in sales and Entrepreneurship it’s about working on
59:35
less things but working on the right things it is 100 the truth that is 100 the truth and I used to believe the
59:43
opposite I was like it’s just more and more and more like more business more things it’s if you talk to any successful entrepreneur sales
59:49
professional the million dollar plus level it’s less but better it is 100 True
59:54
um we so we’ve got a couple quick questions I want to give a moment just in for you to tell people where they can connect with you further I’ll
1:00:01
share on my end and then we can maybe do yeah so two play two places for me
