How to Launch & Grow a Business You Love - Day #0 Business Growth Challenge

What is going on, my friends? This is Jess Yacker with the awesome intro going on right there. Who liked that? If you like that, throw me a comment. I got some cool comments coming up. Let's see what we got. Brian, let's go. And I got Troy. Couldn't sleep last night. I was so pumped. Let's do this. I got Marsaan, who says hello. And Isa good morning to you as well. My name is Jesse Ecker and I am your host, your trainer for this five day challenge. The five day challenge actually doesn't start till tomorrow, but today is a big day because today is like the pre party, the game planning, the making sure we're set up for success time. And it's really important that we use this time so that you understand what the challenge is about, kind of how the challenge works. And we go into this full commitment, 100% out the gate. Let's do this. Hey, how's it going, everyone? Thank you so much. Let's do this. All right, so obviously we have this amazing challenge we have so far. We have one more promotion going out today. Email to our list. So far, we have 4,126 people. Seven signed up for this challenge. 4,126. We're gonna break 5,000 people for this challenge. That is insane. That's gonna be a lot of energy, a lot of movement, a lot of people in the challenge, gonna have a lot of fun. So here's the deal. So basically how it works every day. So if you've been in one of my challenges before, you know there is a lot going on. We bring a lot of excitement, we bring a lot of energy, we bring a lot of great trainings for. And how it really works is it's two parts. Okay? So the first part of this is the commitment part. The challenge itself is a commitment. It's a way to show up for yourself, a way to dig in, to create a habit, to learn some new positive and amazing information that we're going to give you. But to show yourself that you are a finisher, we just did this one day live event online, obviously, and we did this one day event and we talked about something called the Finishers formula, and we came up with something called the Finishers plan. And by the end of that, we want people to be a finisher. But the way people become finishers, like finishing what you start, is you have to commit to what you're doing and you have to build that habit of doing what you say you're going to do on a consistent basis. So if you signed up for this challenge, you've committed to yourself that you are going to play 100% for five full days. And if you play 100% for five full days, you're going to get even more out of this than just the trainings. You're going to get confidence. You're going to get a lot of momentum. You're going to get a lot of energy. You're going to show yourself that when you put your mind to it, you can make a difference and do what you say you're going to do. Confidence comes from winning, and when you win little or big, you build that confidence. So my goal for you is to lead. With example, I'm going to be here every single day, day in, day out. You're going to see me on video for at least three, almost probably around an hour, maybe more. Every single day. I'm going to be training every single day. I'm going to be in the group commenting. I'm going to be helping, supporting, over, delivering. I am going to give you 100% of my effort. You have my commitment to do that. So the question for you is, do I have your commitment? For me, are you going to give me 100%? Comment into the comments below and tell me if you're going to give me 100% or not. If you're not going to give me 100%, get the heck out of this challenge. We don't want you here. We want 100% or nothing. All right? 100% or nothing. If you're going to commit to do this, then you do it. All right? Do it. All right. So here's how it works. So this is two parts. First part, commitment. Second part, training. Our goal here is to grow your business, is to get you into the goal of growing your business. Marsan says, all right, I'm going to add some of this. Marcin says 110%. Rosa says 200%. Asha. Yes. Azuda. Asha says 100%. Brian says 100%. AC says 100%. Leroy says 100%. Marie gives me an awesome emoji, says 100%. And Julie saying 100%. Thank you so much for your commitment and your dedication to that. I appreciate you. Okay, so here is the. Yeah, whatever it takes. Annette. Whatever it takes. Okay, so that's the first part, commitment, and it's really about getting yourself a momentum, because as the Newton's law says, a body in motion will tend to stay in motion while a body in rest tends to stay in rest. So the Momentum, the motion, the daily stuff that we're going to be doing is going to get you moving and progressing forward to reach our goals and outcomes that we want in our life. So that's number one. That's the first part. The second part is the actual trainings to grow your business. This is called the 5x5 Business Growth Challenge. I'm going to give you five critical principles and their steps and principles. They're not sequential necessarily, but they do work together and you'll see how they do work together. And I'm going to give you five levers, five critical principles that you can take either one of them, any of them, and really use them in your business and see effectiveness right away. You'll see either some sort of growth or you'll see some sort of momentum or progress with whatever we're doing. It's going to help simplify things for you in your business. Hopefully. It's also going to make you understand business as a whole and the functionalities of how it works so that you understand how you can grow it whenever you want. Okay, so my goal is to give you five amazing trainings every single day at 9am Pacific. So 9am Pacific, every single day, I'm going to come on video like this. I'm going to. And I'm going to rock it out for you guys. And I'm going to have my iPad available and I'm going to. I'm going to have my iPad available and I'm going to draw for you guys. I'm going to make sure that you are understanding everything that we're doing. So 9:00am Pacific Time. So that's 9:00am Los Angeles time. So if you don't know what time that is in your time zone, that means go to WorldTimeBuddy.com WorldTimeBuddy.com put 9am Los Angeles and then whatever time zone you're in or location and, and it will pull up for you. Now, I understand that this time is not feasible for everyone in the world. I get it. And that's totally fine. What's going to happen is once I go live, the video is going to go live. And you can join in on the live video or you can watch it after the live video. We'll keep it up and you can watch it when you do it. So here's what I need you to do. I am a planner. I believe that planning effectively is going to create space for you and your life. What's important to understand is that we're always planning. So our time we're always planning our time. So either I'm going to plan my time out for myself proactively or someone or something is going to come into my time and and plan it for me. So what I need to do is I need to proactively plan my day or plan my time, meaning I want every single one of you watching right now or watching the replay to mark one hour of your time, at least an hour. I would do an hour and a half just in case I go over because if I'm flowing, I'm not going to stop for you and that, that's just over delivering and that's what I'm going to do. So every day from 9:00am Pacific to 10:30 Pacific, block that time out for five days starting tomorrow. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Block those days out. Okay? Put them in your calendar now. And if you again, if that's not your time zone, find your time zone, put it in your calendar and again, if it's not feasible for you, that's okay. When are you going to do it and be consistent, consistent with what you're doing. So block it in your calendar now. If you block it into your calendar, the chances of you showing up, doing it, committing and following through are going to be way higher than someone just free flowing their way through it like they probably are doing with everything they are in their life and probably not going to get the results that they want. So there's a difference between someone who just free flows everything and just does things reactively or when they feel like it, or someone who's proactively going after something, trying to commit to something and make sure that they create the space to do it in their life and business. This just technique right here already helps you with your business. If you didn't know, if you're already not proactively planning the most important stuff in your business to do during your week, you're already losing your week. And I haven't even started day one yet. So day one tomorrow we're gonna bring the heat. I'm gonna share some things I haven't really shared before. But this is gonna be some new trainings that I've come up with that are really gonna help you grow and expand and make your business more efficient. So make sure you block in that time. Make sure you block in that time. Okay, now I wanna just preface the challenge really fast. So the challeng is here to push you. It's here to get you out of your comfort zone. Because what happens is when we hit a ceiling when we hit an income ceiling, when we hit a limited ceiling, like we have some limiting beliefs or something like that. When we hit a ceiling, what tends to happen is we can't get past it. So the only way for us to get past it is to get uncomfortable for us to get outside of our comfort zone. If we can get outside of our comfort zone, then that means that we're going to push on that ceiling and hopefully break through it. So lot of the things I'm going to be asking you to do as an action aren't necessarily hard, but they may be uncomfortable. Put into the comments. Uncomfortable, actually put into the comments. I'm okay with being uncomfortable. Put that into the comments. I'm okay with being uncomfortable. I want to see that in the comments. I'm okay with being uncomfortable. I'm okay with being uncomfortable. So it's important to understand that we need to be okay with being uncomfortable because we need to feel the uncomfortableness and push through it. And that's the only way we're going to break through. Right. So some of the things I'm going to be asking you to do aren't hard, but they are going to make you. You know, they're going to bring up some stuff. They're going to bring up some stuff that maybe you don't want to do, and that's okay. Because a lot of times in business and life, there's a lot of things that we don't necessarily want to do, but we are going to do them. Misty, Brian, Julie, Marsan, Troy, Asha. I'm okay with being uncomfortable. Thank you. Is it Zadi? Zadi? I think. Sorry if I pronounced that wrong. AC thank you. I'm okay with being uncomfortable, guys. It's okay. So here's what we're gonna do in the group. So right now we have approval for all posts that happen in the group. We're gonna be taking off that approval, meaning that we're gonna let you guys post in the group as your actions and the actions most of the time, are you going to be going live on video like, I'm inside the group sharing something that we're asking you to do about your life or your business to declare it to the group. Now, are you going to get viewers? Are you going to have people viewing it? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on who's in the group and when you go live. But that's not the point. The point is to do something uncomfortable. The point is to do something you probably don't want to do is go live in a Group that's now almost 8,000 people. Well, I'm in a group for 8,000 people. There's only 26 people watching @ the moment. But, you know, we're going to ask you to do that. So here's what I want you to say with that. The first is this is going to be a safe place, okay? A safe, judgment free place. So my team is fully dedicated to making sure that they are monitoring this group much as we can, obviously throughout the night. Sometimes we're gonna not be able to monitor it as much and that's when we need you guys to help out as well. So we're dedicated to making sure this is a safe place, a judgment free place. If we see any type of negativity, any type of slander, any type of comments that are not anything but encouraging, supportive and positive, we will kick you out, ban you from this group, and you will be blocked. You'll never be able to find it again. Okay? So we are super serious about that. We don't care if you would pay us $5,000 or $10,000 to work with us. We wouldn't even wanna work with someone like that anyways. It's not your role to demean anyone. For them stepping out and going to the comfort zone right outta their comfort zone. It's your role as a participant to encourage each other to step up for each other, to play all in 100%. Okay? So this is going to be fun. This is going to be exciting. If I just made you guys shake a little bit, if I got you a little nervous, that's okay. That's what the point of this is. The point of the challenge is to challenge ourselves to grow. What we want to do as humans all the time is grow. We want to grow. All right? This is going to make you grow. I promise you it's going to help you grow. Also, you know, we are letting people into the group, like just approving everyone. Normally they have to answer every single one of our questions and we are just approving everyone at the moment, unfortunately. I don't know why, but unfortunately that comes sometimes with people spamming. Like this one guy. I just saw a comment right here. Join this telecom team thing. I'm about to ban him. 10,000 worth of Bitcoin. I don't know who you are, why you think you could come into this group and do this, but I've just declined you. I've banned you and you're gone. Okay? So basically what I need you to do is report people, okay? So if someone does something report them, we'll ban them. We'll get rid of them as a community together, we'll get rid of these people and hopefully we can stop. Stop them and just make sure that none of these people come in here. All right, so our goal is to create a safe space, a judgment free. Safe. A safe space. A judgment free space. And then we want to push your comfort zone and we want to look out for the community together as a team. Alright? Once you report it, then we'll get rid of them, we'll block them and we'll go from there. All right, so if I have everyone's commitment, so say yes into the chat or the comments so I can see. You chat into the comments so I can see. All right, so one more time. Tomorrow we start day one. We are going 9am live tomorrow and we are going to go through the five days together. Make sure you block out your time. Yes. Lots of yeses. I got. Kate says. Kate says yes. I got lots of. If you need your own time zone, just look up WorldTimeBuddy.com put 9am you can do this on yourself. You don't need me to tell you. 9:00am yes, yes, yes. So 9:00am Los Angeles time. If you go to Google and say what time in my time zone is 9am to Los Angeles time, you'll get that. Yes. World time, buddy J. Yes. We got Leroy. Yes. And Troy. Yes. You guys, I'm looking over here just because my computer's over here. Okay. So don't think I'm looking at anything else. Yes or yes. My man Troy. All right, so who's ready for the first challenge? Day zero's challenge. Who's ready for the first challenge? Say yes to the chat so I can see you. Who's ready for your first challenge? Yes. If you get. If you're ready for it. Who's ready for the first challenge? Put yes into the question. If you missed the chat, that's okay. Who's ready for that? You could always rewatch it. Me. I'm gonna call you. Yes. Yes. Awesome. Yes. Ready? I'm ready. Me. All right, cool. Let's do this. Okay. So the first thing when it really comes to success is believing that we're going to be successful. And a lot of times what ends up happening is when we are doing something that we are not comfortable with, when we're doing something that is pushing our comfort zone, when we're doing something like trying to grow our business or to reach a goal, we tend to come up with reasons and stories. Of why specifically you're not cut out for it or I'm not cut out for it. Let me give you an example. So last year, so we've been in this business now eight years, which is just an amazing, amazing thing. I can't believe it's already been eight years in this business. And last year we started to see some challenges in our business. You know, everyone knows that in life there is ups and downs, right? There's times where things are rocking and there's times where things are not so good. Peaks and valleys. So last year we were going through some challenges within our business. The things that we were doing wasn't working. And one of the things that we knew we needed was more face time with our community, which means that we needed me to step up to do more content for the community. And one of the things that was blocking me from doing this was a strong belief that the community didn't want me and they only wanted Harvard. It was a strong belief that I didn't have anything good to say. I didn't know how to teach properly. I felt like I wasn't good on camera. I felt like I jumbled my words a lot and people would judge me for doing that. And those blocks stopped me from actually creating a content for a full year. I've always been the logistics person for Harv, the intro guy for Harvard, but never really in front of the community too often. I did a challenge back in the day, but that was a big deal for me. But yeah, that's been my big block. It's a big fear. Harv T. Harv Eker is my dad and you know, as many of you know, he's very well known in the industry and it's kind of a big deal to like, you know, be with him. For me at least that puts a lot of pressure on myself to perform. If you guys don't know my personality, if you're first time meeting me, I am a very competitive person, like very competitive. And so when it comes to performing and doing something good, like I put a lot of pressure on myself, a lot of stress. I freaked myself out. So my beliefs were stopping me from actually moving forward, which was preventing the growth of our company. So that was my beliefs, my reasons why I was not doing it, because I had these stories and that I was telling myself about the community. Well, guess what? I did my first challenge in February. 5,000 people. It went amazing. I've started a coaching program. I did a one day event last week for almost 100 people, 65% of them said that exceeded the value that they paid. And now we have over 5,000 people. Gonna be over 5,000 people for this challenge. Are my stories real? No. Hell, no, they're not real. It was a story. It was a reason. And I wasted a whole year thinking about this specific belief, this reason of something that I've made up for myself, that I stopped myself from doing. This is what stopped me from growing, from living into my purpose, for helping and serving and for actually growing our company now, now that we're doing this, now that I'm doing more content, the company's growing again. The company's flying again. The momentum in the team is crazy. So where in your life are you stopping yourself? Where in your life do you have reasons instead of results? Let me say that one more time. Where in your life are you coming up with the reasons that are stopping you from getting the results? And that's a really good question and something that you should ponder a little bit to think about. What is stopping you from really going all in on what you're doing? What is stopping you from really Moving forward at 100% confidence? What is it? What's that story? What's that reason? Are you not feeling like you're good enough? Are you feeling like you're not talented enough? Do you not know enough? What are those stories, right? Is your business not great? Is you don't have the talent? You don't have the knowledge? What is it? Anyways, here's your challenge for today. This is a big one. So what we're gonna do, Kate, please make sure. Please make sure you take off the post approval. What we're gonna do is you're going to go live in this group. Go live, Facebook live in this group, and you're gonna share your stories, your fake stories, right? Your false stories. Are your stories real or false or true? Right? Are they fact? Are your stories fact? Do you know for a fact that you're not good enough? Do you know that you're for a fact that you're not talented enough? Do you know for a fact that you don't have a good enough idea? Or are these just thoughts of your mind trying to protect you so that you don't get hurt? So that you don't put yourself out there and get rejected, so you don't put yourself out there and get judged? So that you can prove yourself right? That you were right, that they don't like you right? That you can prove yourself right? That's why you're stopping Yourself. So here's what I want you to do again. I want you to go live in the group. Just in the group. You can go to the actual group. You can. There's a thing that says photo video. No, nevermind. Next to photo video, it says live video. Click on that. Go live. Share it with the group. Why? Your reasons, your stories, whatever is coming up for you of what's been blocking you, limiting you, stopping you from succeeding at the level you feel like you can succeed at, from going fall all in on your business and really succeeding to the highest level for getting the massive goals that you really want in life. Why aren't you doing it yet? What's the story? The reason that's coming up for you, what is it for you? And that's what I want you to do today. I want you to go live in the group. Now, if you're not ready to go live in the group, I get it. Post in the group or comment on this video right now. But what I'm going to tell you is go live. Experience it. Do it. Challenge yourself. But again, if you're not ready to do that, I'm not going to force you. I will make sure that you do it by the end of this five days. You bet your ass I will.
