Freedom Phrases & How They’ll 10x Your Success

I believe that sales is a transformational transaction. When you sell someone something that you believe works or has worked for you or others, it is the most transformational transaction that you could ever give someone. And when people pay, they pay attention. When they don't pay, they're not going to pay attention to it. Hey, everyone, welcome back to the show. It's time for another quickie because there's always time to fit in inspiration. And I'm so grateful that you're here. Something that I'm working on right now in my life and business is really revamping, reviving, and really growing my email list. And I always like to be sharing what I am doing to grow and create more success in my life and business. And this is what I'm focusing really hard on. Again, to be honest, I wish this would have been my full focus throughout all of the years that I've been in business. But now that I'm also creating a product company, I'm really, really deeply understanding the power of an email list and getting people on that list consistently and making sure that everything I do is really driving people towards this list. So if you guys are confused on that, there are some incredible people to help you build your email list. I know I get a lot of insights from Jenna Kutcher. She has an amazing podcast as well. Amy Porterf. She's incredible with list building. But you can even kind of see what I'm doing on social media right now. We have a lot of freebies that I am giving away right now to build that list.

I am learning as much as possible because I want want to be a place where you go to learn things that make a major impact, whether it is in your personal life, your health, or in your business. So I'm trying to only write things that I have truly used and have made a difference every single week in that email. And they're not long, they're pretty short. It's about a page long. Sometimes they're just a paragraph or two on these little tips, tricks, ideas, phrases that have really created an impact. So if you guys want to go beyond that list as well so that we can chat there, I just want to be sending you things that make a difference. So you can go to BecomeAlign.com, get our free course, and you immediately get put on the list as well. So with that, you guys, you can always go check out what I'm doing, Go get in those funnels and see what you could be creating as well. But because I want to create impact, I'm going to share something that I shared on the weekly email this week, and that was freedom phrases. These are freedom phrases that are going to 10x your success. They're simple phrases that are going to help free you up to ask for and get anything that you need. And a lot of these phrases came from earlier on when I was either building network marketing or when I was learning how to speak up during things. And what happened is I still use them today because a freedom phrase is something that you say before you want to say, something that is either challenging, that maybe it's sharing an idea that you think could really make an impact, but you're nervous because maybe it's around new people or it's around your peers or it's around your mentors, but you're like, God, I know that I could make a difference with this, and I just feel nervous to share it. It's for people who maybe have not been used to sharing freely their opinions. And this is really going to help you do that. They're also going to help you close sales, and it's also going to really help you to be able to ask for exactly what you want. Maybe it's a big ask, right? So these are phrases that you say right before you want or need to say something that feels really hard, challenging, or uncomfortable. And you guys, these are phrases that have helped me make over $18 million in network marketing and run two other multimillion dollar companies. So I'm telling you, the person that I was before I learned these and the person that I am now is two extremely different human beings. One was shy, one was like, oh, my God, I'm worried about what they're gonna think. And the other feels bold. I feel confident, I feel okay. To ask for whatever. Because these phrases are what free me up. So let me give you some examples, because you're probably like, how could a few phrases be able to do these things? And I'll share you why these are so powerful. So my friend Rob Murgatroy shared with me this concept that he started to use when he wanted to ask for things or when he was talking about different things with his wife and really wanting to live out their dreams. They coined this phrase stupid idea time. And for me, this just made sense. So whenever we're in a team meeting, I started using it whenever I have, you know, when I would be out to dinner with successful people or maybe mentors. And I was like, God, I know I can really show share this idea with them, but they might think it's stupid. I'm nervous. So the thing that I say before that is, let's play stupid idea time. Or, hey, stupid idea time. I have this idea. What if we did X, Y and Z? Or what if you tried blankety blank, blank, blank? And just saying, hey, stupid idea time, it freed me up to be like, look, this could either be the dumbest thing you've ever heard, or this could quite possibly be the most genius thing you've ever heard, because it's allowing us to think outside of the realm of possibility. That's what it says. Stupid idea time says, hey, I'm not about to say something that might seem realistic or might even seem like it could work, but let's just throw this out there, because the best ideas come from the places that aren't in reality. They're not necessarily within the scope of what you're seeing. Right? They're thinking bigger. They're dreaming bigger. It's something that might seem crazy, and it frees you up to be able to give those ideas. So now, even when we're with our team, even when I'm thinking of different things for my new company, I'm like, hey, let's play stupid idea time. Like, I want to actually play this with the team, where everybody throws in ideas that seem totally out of left field. And this is where you create a really beautiful environment for people and your team and your employees to say, everything is open right now. Nobody has a stupid idea. Everything is welcome. And I really believe that this is where true innovation comes from, is when you can open up a space like this. If you don't have a business, if you don't have a company yet, you could even play this with your family. Like when you're trying to figure out cool things to do or places that you want to go, like stupid idea time. What if we went to this place and tried this? Like, could this be fun? So that's a freedom phrase that has really, really helped me throughout the years within anything that I'm doing where I want to be creative or share my voice or speak up. So another one that I want to share is a freedom phrase for kind of closing sales or asking for what you want. And this particular freedom phrase is something that I would also add into like a script of sales. And like I said, you guys, this is an email that I sent out this week. So if you're reading the email, these are all going to in there so that you have them down on paper. You can use these scripts. And so within this freedom phrase, I'm also going to share a script that I actually wrote myself years ago when I was learning how to close sales and network marketing. So feel free to play with this. This might work for you, this might not. But if you zhuzh it to what feels good for you, I promise you this will start working. It's essentially being able to ask for what you want. So the freedom phrase for me is about when I'm asking for a sale or to close a sale. I want to be transparent and authentic as possible to free me up to ask for that person to say yes. And what I need to free me up is to be transparent about what they could lose and what they could gain. So I'm going to share the script and I'll kind of tell you where the freedom phrase is after. So I say, hey, Mary, or whatever the person's name is. Hey, Katrina, I know that you reached out because you said that you're sick of feeling blank, right? So let's say that you have a product or let's say that you have a course. You can say, I know that you reached out because you said that you are sick of feeling tired every day. You're sick of feeling hopeless. You're sick of feeling like you never have the funds to do what you want to do. I also know that if you don't do something different, scary and bold, that what you just shared will never change. And this is a big risk and a decision, and I understand that. But this action could truly be your solution because I've had a similar experience, and then you'd share your experience or maybe someone you know has had a similar experience. And this is where the freedom phrase comes in for me so that I can ask for that close. I believe this is the thing that could catapult you in a new direction. And if not, you've lost nothing. Besides, maybe you talk about the refund policy here or be super real and honest and say the dollar amount. You know you've lost nothing besides this monetary amount. And I get that that might be really big. But I also get that this could be the game changer in your life or the thing that catapults you into that new direction. But what I do know is that nothing changes if nothing changes. And I believe that this will change your life. So if you say yes today, you'll get to start this on X or something like that. So if you say yes, you'll be enrolled to start on, then say the date or the product or whatever it is. And then I just say, are you ready to say yes today? Are you ready to change your life today? And this was so powerful when I was doing network marketing because I didn't just like maybe the first five times while I was learning it felt really awkward because I was actually reading it off of a piece of paper. But the more that I learned that, the more certain that I got in knowing that this could be the thing for them. And if it's not, they either get their money back or you do tell them the amount that they would lose. So that you're so upfront and you're like, look, I get that you could look, lose this. But I also get that this could be the thing that could absolutely change your life. And so by saying that, by pointing out the obvious, by pointing out, not trying to hide it, not trying to do anything like, who knows, like that make people feel sketchy around sales. I don't know. I think sales is one of the most transformational things you can do for someone. But by pointing it out, it gives you the freedom to say, yeah, do you want to do this? You could lose this. But you could also change your life, right?

So this is something that really helped me be able to ask for the sale and also as I started to get more certain in this, I realized that what I was selling was not the product. What I was selling was hope and certainty. What I was selling was energy. And the more I got rooted into that idea and that belief, the more I realized that when I did that, I gave people certainty. When I became this certain, they literally borrowed that certainty to create their own confidence. Because until someone is this certain in their life, they don't even know what it means to be able to borrow confidence or to be able to emulate it. And by you doing this, you show them, and they say, you know what if I believe? Like, if you believe this, I could believe this, too. And belief and even placebo, you guys, there are insane studies around placebo effects. I will use all of it, meaning when I want to change my life. If someone else believes that they were able to make money, I'm going to borrow that belief, use that as a placebo effect into my life. And it worked. It's not that it happens overnight. It's that when I first went to my first network marketing event, I was like, oh, hell no. This isn't for me. I'm going to hate this. This is insane. And I went. And because the people were such firm believers on stage, I was like, wait a minute. I see a woman who is just like me up there, who came from X, Y and Z, who I can totally relate to, and I borrowed that woman's certainty and belief and used it for myself and changed my life. And that was the first time I believed that I could do it, because I borrowed someone else's certainty on stage, saying that they did it and that I could do it, too. So you guys, put your stake in the ground. Put your stake in the ground. Let those other people borrow that certainty. So the freedom phrase really around that is, you know, even when I was raising money, this is the same kind of freedom phrase. When I was raising money, $2 million for this company that's launching in the fall, we pivoted. It was light pink. Light Pink is now our parent company. I get to share all of those stories really soon. I'm creating the podcast around it so that you can go on that journey as well. But now, when I was creating this new company that we pivoted into to raise the $2 million with all you guys, it's all the same investors. I'll share those stories really soon. I would say, hey, you know, after I talked about the company and the vision and all of the things, I would say, okay, so investing in a startup is One of the riskiest things that you can do. This is not guaranteed. Here's what I hope for, here's what I believe is going to happen, but it's not guaranteed. And that would free me up to say, so are you ready to invest? Would you like to do this? Here's what the minimum investment is. And in order for me to get to that close that I just said, I would tell them, hey, this is. This is risky. This may or may not work. Like, that's what investing is. And so it freed me up to ask for the close. And essentially, that's what you're doing in all that you do. Like, hey, this may or may not work. It has for these people and myself, and here's all of the proof, and it also may not. But the risk that you're taking is that you could change your life. You could change your life, or it could just be this investment that is lost, whatever that looks like, for maybe a course that you have or for a product that you have, whatever that looks like. So create these freedom phrases for yourself. You have to judge them to make them feel good for you. And also, you're going to need those like five to 10 times, maybe 20 times to try them to see where it goes wrong and where it goes right and where people respond. When it works, keep doing that. Keep doing that exact version. So, you guys, I hope that this helps you on your journey to creating freedom to close people, because I believe that sales is a transformational transaction. When you sell someone something that you believe works or has worked for you or others, it is the most transformational transaction that you could ever give someone. And when people pay, they pay attention. When they don't pay, they're not going to pay attention to it. So remember that when you ask them to put money down on something, that is them showing up and proving to the universe that they are ready. They need to have skin in the game. You need to have skin in the game. I've never transformed from something that I did not have skin in the game on. So remember that when you are doing sales, it's the most loving, transformational transaction that you could ever ask for. And that is a belief that has absolutely changed my life and given me the freedom to create success in my life and then also show women and people that they are able to do this for themselves, too. So, you guys, I'm sending you so much love. And until next time, earn your happy.

Sam.
