Celebrating Success and The Do It Now Community!

There we go.

I love this one. I see it when you're doing with.

Other people, so I know it's always like, is it going to work? Are we live?

Are we not?

Yeah, we're going. I'm doing it in the Facebook groups right now, but I think we're already live on YouTube, so. Hey, YouTube. And hey, YouTube Facebook group. I figured out how to go live now in two groups at the same time, so that's exciting.

Wow.

So, all right, you guys, well, guess what's happening today. I am excited because I love it when we get to, like, combine forces.

Right.

So.

Because for those of you that don't know, Sarah is the founder of the Do it now community. And so we are doing the thing by doing It Now.

I love that.

So. And Sarah was in the audience or is in the audience accelerator program. And so she's one of the sister community communities that is coming from the program. And it's amazing to just already see things coming alive where people are just so. Just.

What is the word?

Yeah.

Like your.

Your.

Your. Your force of, like, what you care about. Right. Is now kind of holding this group, and it's been, like, really beautiful to see. I'd love to have you just first, for anyone that doesn't know you yet, please share who you are, what you do, and then. And then we'll get into all the community stuff. And while you're doing that, I've got to do a couple things on Facebook, so just.

Sure. Okay, great. No, and it's fun. It's fun to watch you be the tech guru that I hope to be one day. I'm going to let. What is it? It's. It's caught, not taught. So I'm going to be catching your tech knowledge expertise. I'm going to be watching what you do. So I'm Sarah Moses, and. And I am an inspirational speaker mindset coach. Thanks to you. I'm a podcast host of the Do it now podcast. And, yeah, I have this wonderful community because of you as well called Do It Now. And we're just a great big growing group of people who have some big dream or big life goal that we want to accomplish in this lifetime. And our battle cry is it's never too late. We're just getting started. So, yeah, that's us. And I'm having fun getting to know the people in my group. And we just had a fun thing this last week where everybody posted their. Their, like, number one challenge. In fact, I have to pick a person I didn't know how to do it because, you know, I'm new to all this, but one person's gonna get to be on the hot seat. We've got an expert coming in this Wednesday at 11:00am PST, Lucy Dutton, all the way from England. Can you believe that? And she's going to be talking. She's a high performance coach, and she's going to be giving some, you know, tips and tricks and skills to help all of us take action. Because that's really what it's about, I think.

Yeah. Yeah. No, definitely. Yeah. It's amazing. And I know that we share a lot of common things with community and our want to be in connection and be able to be around others and. Yeah, just being able to see now what you're doing. It's. It's been really exciting. I'd love you to just kind of share. Why don't we start with the. Well, I don't know. I feel like what was pro. The podcast was first. Because you did find your voice too. And let's kind of just share this, like, kind of process because a lot of people will look at you now, right, and they'll be like.

You know, like, oh, I couldn't do that. Right. Like, I don't know, like, Sarah can do it. Because Sarah, right. They don't ever see, like, the grind behind.

Yes, yes, yes. No. It's. It's been really exciting. And I've done things since meeting you and since starting this entrepreneurial journey about a little over a year ago, I never in a million years thought I would be doing this. I was. I stuttered when I was a child until about age 6 or 7. And I don't know if anyone knows about stuttering, but it really sets the. This sort of insecurity piece within you. And it caused me to be sort of always a very quiet person who would stay in the shadows and sort of watch everyone else. I had a sister who was five years older. We lived in Mexico some of the year. She was fluent in Spanish. And so I was just this quiet person. Would hide behind my sister. She would do all the talking and then that sort of followed and we were moving a lot. So I was always the new girl in school. I never had any friends. I was always sitting on the bench, you know, wanting to meet some friends and just let. Yeah, just live this sort of quiet in the shadows. Insecure, you know, I struggled with that a lot of my life. I did try to get into acting when I was in high school and college, did a little of that. But it Was so painful. Have you ever felt that? Was just painful to put myself out there. I just didn't feel comfortable. Like, I would go and do it, but then afterwards it's just like, ah, that was so. Have you felt that ever?

Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. Yeah.

Yeah. So I sort of let that go, and I went what you would call behind the camera. Got into casting for years, commercial casting, theatrical casting, and then had many different careers. I went and got my master's in psychology, got into counseling, got into construction, management, design, Airbnb. Like, all these different careers that I would do so that I could have a flexible job while I was raising my daughters.

Yeah.

But then, as you know, I had some pretty tragic things happen in the last few years and just sort of hit this place of really rock bottom. And it was very, very, very dark, sad time. And I remember being at the foot of my bed and I was praying. I was just praying for answers or for understanding. And I remember hearing, you know, how. I don't know how the words get in your head, but I just heard him say, use your voice.

And I knew he meant more than just use your voice, but use your voice in Sarah, who do you want to be in this lifetime? Who do you want to become? What do you want to be about? Stop being worried about what everyone else thinks and just go, use your voice. And lo and behold, like, how much longer was it after that that I met you and find your voice? Right. I mean, it's kind of wild. And being in your community where there's all these other people who are going through the same thing and sharing the same feelings and watching them be brave and encourages me to be brave, and we sort of all support each other, and it's such a really supportive, loving, almost like family environment. There's no competition. Right. It's just so inspiring. So that really helped me, and I've been doing things since then. As you know, we share this. One of the same mentors as well, Eileen Wilder. And in that group was one of the first times I had ever. I was ever encouraged to go live on Facebook. Like, that was mindblowing to me. Do you know, that day I almost. I was almost burst into tears doing that for the very first time.

Yeah.

And I don't know, was that four or five months ago. It's funny how something that seems so scary and so.

Out of possibility, once you start doing it over and over again, it just becomes. I mean, look at us today. I'm just chatting along, you know, and.

It'S, you Almost forget. You almost forget that it was hard. Right. I was talking to Vicki, you know, you know, Vicki and the other day, and it's like you, you don't realize, like, how much growth, like, you really have until you can, like, see, sit back and, like, look and go, oh, my gosh, there's like, magic here. And then when you get to start to see how the dots connect too with it, it just, it's can, it can really blow your mind, you know, Especially when you're doing these, like, micro, micro actions that don't feel, like, a lot at the time. But then when you look back, it's like, oh, my gosh, it's a lot, you know?

Right. Exactly. Exactly. And that, that's why I think I wanted to also start this community of, of do it now is to talk about that part of fear. I think I, I, I was really, I think.

Missing out on a lot of life and a lot of what I wanted because of fear and to just share my journey. If it helps anyone else, you know, that, that now that I'm going through it, the these times when I've almost been paralyzed in fear and very emotional, but if you keep moving and taking action and walking forward, you start to realize, oh, I survived. You know, I think you have a funny t shirt. What is it? I didn't. I didn't die. Right? Like, oh, yeah, right. Like, I survived.

Yeah.

I. Wow. I. I can do this. And then you, as we said, you keep doing it. And that I realized everything we've always wanted, I think, is on the other side of fear. If we can just be brave, keep moving. Because I think sometimes we think when we're having that feeling that we're supposed to stop and we're supposed to retreat, and the opposite is true. It's like, keep going. Because if you're feeling that, it means you're exactly where you're supposed to be. You're outside of your comfort zone. You're doing something you've never done before. You're stretching yourself, and you're going after something probably very meaningful to you, or you wouldn't have so much feeling around it. Right. So, yeah, I just want to.

You know, it's hearing you say that, it actually makes me think of our mentor again, Eileen Wilder, because she said this. I think it was like a month ago, and it was right when I was feeling it. She was like, if you're not feeling it, it means your calling isn't big enough.

Wow, that is so good. That is so deep. Right?

Yeah. And it, like, validates it, right? It validates it because it's like. Yeah, it's so much easier, you know, to just stay in your comfort zone, you know? And when you realize that we're here for a bigger purpose, right? Like, you getting that message of use your voice, right? Like, it's like you have a bigger. You have a bigger calling, and it's putting yourself out there. I just wanted to say hi because I saw Vicki was here. Oh, hi, Vicki. We were just talking about you, and Jackie's here. So good to see you. Yeah. So let's talk about the podcast first, because that was like, kind of like a. Something hard, right? That happens for a lot of people where it's like, it feels so big in the mind. Right. But then when you were able to do it, you were, like, fast. It was like. As soon as I sent you that workshop, I mean, I feel like it was like the next day that you started your podcast.

It was. I. I had had this idea in my mind that I wanted to have a podcast probably for two years. You know, you think about something, and it seems like this big, complicated thing. Like, well, I'd have to get equipment, and I'd have to do this, and I. Lighting and all. And so I kept thinking about. Thinking about. I met you at Eileen's program, and you mentioned that you had this podcast workshop. And I remember zeroing in on that. And I said, oh, can I, you know, find out about that when I get home? And you shared it with me, and I took your workshop, which I think is. What is it, 75 minutes? Yeah. And 24 hours later, I was up and running after a few. I remember there are a few messages back and forth with you, because I was like, well, what microphone should I order and what lighting shy, you know? And you were like, nope, Sarah, just go. And I'm like, no, I was. I was. I was, like, resistant, and I was gonna. You on it. And then I. And then finally, you know, when you. You listen to something Eileen has. Has said to me, and we've all learned, too, from her, is like, if you. If you have a mentor, listen to your mentor. Yeah, I listened to you, and I just said, okay. 24 hours later, I had my artwork, I had my cover, I had my name. I was going for it, going messy. And I remember my first interview was with Sean Kelly of Do the Big Dream, who I met through you and your communities, the audience accelerator. And I remember I didn't set it up right because I didn't put side by Side. So it's just Sean or just me talking, but, you know, so I messed up that. But he's such an incredible storyteller, and he was such an incredible guest that my first experience was so fun and so easy that then I was just like, I'm going forward, and I was just having a great time. So your. Your way of teaching and encouraging us to just go for it and do it. And it's like I was talking about yesterday. You just jump off that diving board before you have too long to think about it. Right. It's really important. So you help us all take action.

Yeah. And I think the other thing that is, like, really important is it's like, what's the easiest way to get into momentum? Right. And so. Because you already had some familiarity with Sean from the community.

Yes.

And then I'm imagining the next, like, bunch of interviews that you had. It wasn't like you were cold messaging people. You had some of, like, knowledge, and that really helped you feel comforted by, like, doing the interview. And if you messed up, it was okay. They would, like, you know, it wouldn't be weird, you know, and then. And then that's where the momentum starts. And then in the. And then it becomes easy because then it's like you're not even, like, thinking it's now. It's just, like, fun. Right. Where you're just getting to play.

Right. It really, truly just is a conversation, you know, we have to remember. It's just a. Just like we're having right now. And that's what the podcast interview is. And that's what I also try to help. You know, I sometimes train speakers, and I'm. You're just having a conversation from the stage. It really, truly is conversation. So conversation from the heart. And I think that the way that you encourage all of us to, as you said, just do it before we feel ready. But as you said, it's warm. It's. It's a warm community. It's a warm audience, It's a warm guest. As you said, we sort of maybe have known each other, or there's someone that. That idea of reaching out to people that we have crossed paths with in the past is interesting because it opens up this network that just keeps opening and opening and opening, you know?

Yeah.

And, yeah, it's been really beautiful.

Hey. And that's what I love about doing the do the Thing collaboration group, because it's kind of like a starting place, like, where people like you interviewed Delisa yesterday. And it's just. It's like an easier way to be able to connect with people. And then Alex, founder of PodMatch, should come into the community. And then after you've got a few podcasts under your belt, then you could go join Pod Match. Right. And be able to.

Yeah.

You know, make it easier for you to connect with people that way. And it just feels like.

Yeah, it just feels like such a. Kind of like a nurturing, supportive way to do it versus it. Having to be doesn't always have to be so hard, especially when you're on people. Right.

That's a really good word. Nurturing. That's very much what it is.

What do you think, like, your podcast has given you? Like, I want people to know that haven't started a podcast yet. Like, what do you actually, like, get out of it? Because the first thing I have to get people over is, like, who's gonna hear it?

Right.

Gonna say, you know, like, why does. Like, am I an expert? And. And I try to, like, you know, through the workshop, I'm like, it doesn't matter. None of that matters. Like, literally doesn't matter.

Right. Yeah. I. I think that what I have gotten through the podcast is connection. When. When you are interviewing someone or talking, having that conversation for an hour and they're sharing, you know, they're being really authentic and they're sharing, and you're talking about sort of the most important things in their life, like what are their passions or what are their, you know, their big dreams or what are they working on in their life, and who are they trying to help, and what message do they have? These are really meaningful things. And so you're connecting on a deep level immediately, and there's a connection there. And I never worry about how many people might hear it if one person hears it. If 10 people, you know, end up hearing the interview. I don't worry about that right now. Right now I'm just interested in connecting with this person. I'm. I always have a curiosity about them as a human being and what they're trying to do in the world and what they want to accomplish. And I see. See, my podcast just, this is my personal thing as I want to be a place for them to.

Sort of be their. Their billboard. I know it's funny because Vicki's watching and. And she's talked about this concept, and that's how I kind of. I want my podcast to be someone's billboard. I want them to talk about what's special to them, what's important to them. Do they have a masterclass and I want to promote them, encourage them, inspire them, support them, and then whatever ends up being after that is what it will be. It's out in the universe, you know, So I think that, I think a lot of people might worry about numbers and followers and growing, and I, I'm not worried about that right now. I'm really, truly connect. Worried about connecting and this curiosity about another human being and letting other people know about that human being in. Even in my small way, you know, but as I.

Continue doing this, who knows? I mean, you know, all of us probably have a dream of being, you know, Ed Mylett or Jay Shetty or, I don't know, you know, Mel Robbins and all that. But I'm, I'm just being me right now, having fun.

Yeah. And it's so powerful, right. When you're able to connect with another person in this way. I remember when I first started my podcast, one of the things I was really working on was being a better listener. And so I use the podcast like I really got into authentic relating. I had Kate Middleton come on, who's a facilitator. And that was one of the gifts that happened during the workshop is she was able to. Or during the challenge, the actual like five week challenge where she was able to do a listening workshop. And it was really great because I used to listen back to the episodes and then I would, like, see where I didn't listen, you know, and like I used it as a way to get better, which I thought was like, it's like interesting when I forgot about that, you know, until now. And it's, it's, it's cool because there's so many things that you could, you know, learn, you know, from, from, from the experience in itself.

Yeah. That's making me realize I want to go listen to that episode of. You have to tell me what, what episode that is.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's really good. Yeah.

So.

And then you joined the audience accelerator program and oh my gosh, your launch party was like.

I mean, it was so, so good. Do you want to share a little bit about, like, what that experience has been like for you and like.

Yeah.

Feeling.

Yeah, yeah. And of course. So I really want to share the part right before, though, because I think it's important to share that part. I cannot tell you how much fear I had, how much apprehension, how much resistance I wanted to quit. I didn't want to do it. I was scared.

Scared.

I didn't know how it was going to go. I thought no one would show up. I was, like, lost. And I think our minds do that right to us. And it's the people who don't quit in those moments. We were talking about it, right? So the launch party ended up being so fun. I reached out to you and Tubi, and you joined me, and we had a lot of fun, and we really celebrated this idea that, you know, all these people, we're all gonna go for it. We're gonna. We're gonna do the thing, and we're gonna do it now, and we're gonna learn from each other, support each other. It was a really fun party. I think we had a good time that night. I hope everyone else did, too.

So fun. Yeah, it was so fun. Oh, I noticed Delisa's here too. Hey, Delisa. And then Jackie said, it's unbelievable when you hear the stories of other people. You realize that the fear is universal. That is such a good point. I think that's what I. I love the most about community, is that not love the most, but love so immensely, is that we think we're alone in our fears and our thoughts and that, like, we're the weird ones, you know? But we realize that, like, when you get everyone together and you're able to, like, find out what. What's holding other people back, it's like, literally the same stuff, you know, Because I've noticed this, like, anytime.

I'm doing something new, that's, like, really outside what I'm comfortable with, like, those same things that used to come up when I was doing something else are back. Right. And so you have to, like, kind of, like, go through it again. And when you get to see other people going through it, I think it really opens up that space of vulnerability. It opens up that space of connection, and you're able to. To go after your goals so much faster because you're out of your head at that point.

I love what Jackie just said about that fear being universal and just that idea, too, of think about, had I. Had I not done the launch party and, like, quit and stop the whole thing, you know? And there's been a few times during audience accelerator where you are outside of your comfort zone enough. As you know, they're dares. We're daring you to do something.

You know, it implies it's probably something you haven't done before. And sometimes it's. It's hard. And this idea that things are supposed to be hard, they're supposed to be difficult, they're supposed to be challenging, you know, we need to get over this idea that it's supposed to feel easy and, you know, fun all the time. But then, look, I. It's like all of us who have this fear that is universal, we can learn from one another that just keep walking through it, keep going, do it, and then it's actually really fun. And I think that there's. That's what's really good about the audience accelerator, is that you are, on a regular basis, put up sort of in front of yourself, sort of having to look in front of a mirror like, can I do this? You know, am I. Am I brave enough to do this, to put myself out there and to answer honestly and authentically and keep growing? And it's. And the answer is yes. And anytime when I've wanted to maybe quit or there's too much resistance, I take a moment to sit back and observe and watch all the other people in the group. And that's when you really get inspired because you see the magic unfolding from them and them. Their growth and. And their, you know, glow and their magic, and it. It. It brings you back in and you say, okay, yes, I want to be a part of this so much, and so I want to grow in the same way they are. So I'm going to take. I'm gonna have the faith and take a step forward. So.

So good. And. Oh, I just wanted to say hi to Jamie. Lynn is here, too. So good. Good to see you.

So.

There'S so much in this because there's, like, the finding your voice. And I liked how Jana, she's in the program, too. She talked about stretching your voice. So it's like you find your voice, right, and then you have to stretch it and then. And then the using, I think then is, like, next, right? Like, in terms of, like, community, platform.

Yes, I. Yes. And that, you know, the using your voice as we're talking about those different things, it's like sharing your voice now. Share it with the world. That's it.

Yeah, good. That's a really good point.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jana, man, she's just been. It's been so great watching her. Oh.

She'S doing that reminds me of, like, what's great about what you're doing now with the community is how clear you can get now with, like, what you want to do and who you want to help. Right? Because, like, even her, for example, she won one of the prizes that you gave out at the launch party, and you got to work one on one with her, and that was just a whole, like, opening for you alone. Right? Like, she got a Lot of value out of. But. But do you want to share a little bit about that process, about how now having a community helps you kind of like, almost just like.

Grasp, you know, like, what your. What. What your highest purpose is, you know?

Yes, Yes. I. It really keyed me in working with Jana really keyed me into that idea that you shared with us, which is, who is it that you work with that energizes you?

Oh, yeah.

And I realized in that moment, working with Jana, that, like, that's. She's a perfect example of someone who it energizes me to work with, where.

She is naturally.

Gifted and talented and her message is. Is needed and special and all these things going for her. And there was, you know, that she's just right there ready to go, but just maybe needs a little encouragement or a little reframing of some things that maybe people think are. Are holding them back, when actually that's their superpower. That. That's the thing. That. That thing that you think is the thing that you shouldn't be sharing or that you're worried about sharing is like, share that, and that will draw all your people to you. You know, you're authentic, you're real, you're excited about it, you're passionate about it. It's your thing, and that's what people are waiting for from you. So.

Yeah. So good. And so what do you think? For someone that hasn't started a community or that's like, not in their mind as a way to build their audience, what do you think? Why do you think it would be good for them to, like, open up their mind to that idea of actually putting people around whatever it is they're wanting, whether it's a book club, it's a product, like an E commerce product, it's a offer.

I think the biggest reason to do it, and I can only speak for myself because it was the reason I wanted to do it, was this idea of a warm community. I hadn't been in sales. It's not something I'm comfortable with. It's very scary to me. I know that I have something very valuable to offer, but I don't know how to get to that place of offering it. And through you and Facebook communities, I feel like we have a warm, supportive community where I can give value and we can all give value to one another and we can kind of grow with one another. And at that natural, organic time when it's feels right, then I can offer something to my community, and they might be interested or not interested, but you see how it's just this very natural ease thing instead of. I think it takes all of that icky part of sales away and it's gone. And it. I couldn't do that. I wasn't interested in doing that. I wouldn't be successful in doing it that way. So I really, truly needed something of what you're offering, which is to build a warm community where I can offer value and get to know people and build a relationship with them first.

Yeah.

And it be this very natural, organic time when I will offer something to them or they'll reach out to me. I really also believe a lot in the law of attraction, the law of energy, and that I don't want to be, you know, going after people and pursuing people. I want to. I want to just be open about who I am. And. And if that draws them to me, they'll reach out to me. That's another thing, is it's a place where I can.

Share what I do and share who I am with people and they can get to know me. Where else could I do that unless I was running paid ads or something or trying to play the Instagram game or whatever? This is a place where it's literally like inviting people over to your house, except it's on Facebook and we talk about stuff and we share stuff, and they share things with me, give and take, and we get to know each other over time. And then if it's a natural fit. And you know, what's interesting is right now, at least it's been interesting, because more of my recommendations have been maybe to people that you know, other people that I know that could be helpful to them right now. Right. And I like that that it's. It's. It's just very. Feels very pure. It feels very organic, authentic. I keep using these worlds natural. And if. And if people are looking to do their business in that way, then building this Facebook community the way that you teach it is the way to go.

Yeah. No, I like that. And it's kind of like how I started where I was. I wasn't even planning on monetizing it. It was just research for a book. And then I got so just like, in love with just the whole thing that I just kept doing it. And then it wasn't until I had built it and then had monetized it, and then I started going to these conferences, and everyone was like, wait, what are you doing? And then that's when I realized I should teach it. But it's kind of that it's Kind of that process where you get to. You get to kind of almost some other people tell you what you're good at sometimes too. Right. Which. That's a dare I haven't done yet. I want to add that there is, like, looking at the other people in the group, you know, and being able to say, like, what do you see? Because I feel like, I feel like that would be a fun one to give you guys also.

That's a good one.

Yeah. Because sometimes we don't see ourselves. You know, it's, it's, it's hard. But when someone else is able to look. Oh, my gosh. I just had a conversation with Sue. She's entrepreneur's gone wild, and we just connected the dots in a huge way on something in her community. And she's going to be doing a. She's going to be the first from the program doing a Do the Thing challenge because it came alive right away.

Oh, good.

And so, but the point is, is.

Just becomes a very natural, like, thing, right. When you get to see these dots connecting. And so I was able to see that in her, you know, so anyway, it's just, it's good. I can't wait to give you guys that tear. That's gonna be fun. So what do you think about the, the name, change of the audience accelerator to the Incubator now? Knowing it's. Cause I just realized it's the same thing. I don't. Right. I think you remember that meeting where I'm like, oh, wait, it's actually the same thing. But in my mind, Incubator feels better because I want people to understand. Like, we're getting to know people.

Yes. You know, I'm, I, I really feel that that's a great name, the Incubator. We're getting to know people. And it's also. With an incubator, you think of. It's, it's, it's warm, it's nurturing, it's safe. It's where we keep you while, while you're getting strong enough. Right. And I, I like that idea of incubator. I think it's, it's really good.

Okay, that's so funny because when you did the a. The hatching analogy, I don't think I connected it until now because you're also in your own incubator because it's not only you're incubating the community. That's so funny.

Yeah.

Like, it's true. Right? That's what happened to me because I couldn't be on YouTube. I couldn't be on LinkedIn or even on my personal Facebook page. I, like, only had the group. I wasn't able to like, do anything outside and I was being incubated. That's so funny.

Yeah, yeah, no, I, it's definitely, it's definitely an incubator. Stacy. I don't think you can use any other word. I, I think it's what it is.

Yeah, it's so good. Well, share more about kind of like what you're excited about. What are your goals with the do it now community and all the things that you're looking forward to doing.

Yeah. So I've got my focus back now. I think a few people in my community might be wondering where did Sarah go since the launch party? Because I had to take care of some other business things.

Was running a business in Dallas. There was a lot of travel and that just ended about a week or two ago. And it's interesting, you know, because during that time I was going through a lot of emotional upheaval and it was very hard and difficult and challenging and there was a few times where I wondered, you know, maybe I should share this with my community so they know what's going on and why I haven't been more present. And also to let people know that it's, this is, this is, you know, this, this resistance part and this hardship and the fear and the things that come up for us. And it, it's not like you, as you mentioned earlier, it's not like you just deal with it once and then it goes away. You know, it comes up again and again. And the harder the, the, the bigger, as you said, the bigger calling as we try to do things bigger and more and go on, it's, it's going to come up for us again. So I, I, I'm back, I'm focused and I am starting this week, we're going to announce who I had some people who were engaging in what was their biggest challenge. And I have to find out from you how I, you know, pick the number or whatever and pick the person and then Lucy's going to come in on Wednesday and I'm going to, now, I would like to once a week have a someone come in who can help all of us with any of these things that we're struggling with, which, whether it's fear, whether it's procrastination, you know, all, you know, whether it's what resources, you know, and I want to do this, I would like to do it once a week and have somebody come in and have people be able to ask questions. If they can't attend live, they can submit their questions before. And also just have a lot of people in our community of either the audience incubator, the audience accelerator, the do the thing collaboration community, want to reach out to our community and have people come in and talk and share. And that's what's so nice, too, is we have right at our fingertips, right, all these incredibly smart, talented, wise, generous people who will come and share. And that's a real gift to have by connecting with all of us. Right? We have this. Yeah. It's almost like a. As I've joked around in the past, like, Stacy's list, right? If you. If, if we can get in on Stacy's list, then you kind of know that people are good. And so I want to share that in my community, and I want to start having my community come live with me if they're, you know, going to be going and doing something, and they're going to go do it now, whether they want to share the win or whether they want to come and talk before. And maybe they need some support, inspiration. So that's kind of what I want to. To keep sharing. And I'm going to be sharing things I'm doing this year that are outside of my comfort zone. And.

Yes, it's so funny that you say that, too, because what you're talking about, even in your group now, that's in your comfort zone, right. And the other things are outside. But I imagine that the thing you're talking about right now with these lives and these experts and all that, like, three months ago, you would have. That would have been the outside your comfort zone.

Oh, I know. I mean, I'm. I'm, like, laughing at myself as I'm saying this. I'm like, oh, once a week, like, literally a couple months ago, I was crying because I had to go live and I had to push the button. I was like, I can't.

I can't do this yet.

Yeah, it's so good because, like, it just shows how fast, you know, it happens, and then we forget, right? Like, now you're doing a podcast, like it's nothing, you know, and now you're coming in live like it's nothing. You know, like, it's not even, like, a thing.

That's what I want to say. Anyone who's listening, I talk about this a lot. It's the slingshot method. You literally can go so far so fast if you just do it and do it with Stacy.

To do it, gotta do it It's a dare. Come on.

Yeah. So, yeah, this is great. I love it. Because. Yeah, you're just showing. You're just showing how, like, the hard things become easy, and then you need new hard things. Right. Because you gotta keep. Yeah. So good. So good. Share. Like, also, just, like, I want to get into, like, the feeling that happens, like, during the launch party. I want to just go back there for a minute because I just. That warm hug of the, like, holding space for people and, like, knowing that you're. They're your people. Right. And they're there because you've curated them right through inviting them. It's not like you're blasting it out into the ethers because you don't want to do that yet. That could be something you do down the road, you know, once you kind of, like, get that core founding, you know, but just, like, what was that like, just holding space for people, you know, like that.

I think it was.

Empowering, and I. And it was. A lot of growth happened for me in that event. And I'll tell you why. I. I don't know if this happens for anyone else. You'll have to tell me if. If they share this with you. But that part of us that I think, and maybe this is universal, that says, who am I? Who am I to think that I could be leading a group? Who am I to think that people would want to be in my community? It just. It. You. It's hard for us to get our minds around that if we haven't done it before.

Mm.

I had not been a leader of a community. I had not founded a Facebook community before. It was all new. And so.

To get. To get to the other side of that and say.

Wow, it was actually fun. It. You know, this thing that I thought I couldn't do, it was actually fun. And it's not about whether, you know, I think I can do it or I can't do it if I don't step up and do. Even if there's one person that I can help in my community that ends up going out and doing something and doing it now and ends up achieving their dream or doing something that they hadn't thought they could do or maybe they thought it was too late in life to do, that's all I need is one person whose life is changed by my community and so.

Takes away all. It's not about me, it's about them. And I really, really believe in that thing of just one. I've really gotten over, like, how many people are in my community or how fast it needs to grow, grow. As you said, I want to get to know them and nurture them, and how can I do that if it's growing too quickly? But also, that story of one person. I think I've mentioned this to you before, that.

Vishon, the. The guy who come. Who is the founder of Mind Valley, he. He was doing sales. He was really unhappy working in Northern California, and there was the crash, and he signed up for this course, the Silver Method. He flew to Los Angeles, and he was the only person who showed up for this course, this teacher. But think of the lives that have been changed by that teacher teaching him this method. And so that we have to remember that it's not in the numbers. It's in the real, true connection with one person who then goes out in the world and does something, and then that has a ripple effect, and that does. Has. Does something. You know, I've often thought back to that part of me where I think about my brother and my cousin, and I think about the fact that you have all of us with these communities where we're offering for free our knowledge, our support.

And I think that, what if there had been communities like this back then and they had been able to join a community and support, you know, and the guidance and. And just that.

I. I remember being in. In. In Joel Bauer's mentorship program, and there were a lot of really talented people in that group. I remember, you know, you know, Elijah Bowie's in that group, and just wonderful people. And at the end of the week, we were all given two minutes to sort of give a pitch at the microphone at the front. And at that time, I got up and I didn't make a pitch, and I said, I want to just ask all of you. When you go out into the world and you have these gifts to offer, will you please remember to either have a sliding scale or offer some of your services and your value for free? Because there's some people out there who can't afford it. But.

If you share it with them, you never know the lives you could change. And so it's really meaningful to me that you just create this. Naturally, all of us are here. I mean, think of Vicki, the messages she's sharing, and Alex and, you know, everyone. Janet, like, we're all just giving of ourselves to people in a. In a. In a community that's free. And we never know somebody that's really making a meaningful impact in their life, and it means something to them. So that's that part that I'm Talking about is like, stop worrying about what other people think. Stop worrying about whether we think we can do it, and just start sharing with people and trying to connect and adding value to their life and everything else will work itself out.

Yeah, no, it's so good. And that's what I love. I love the access. Right. Because everyone gets it for free. And then there's always a percentage of people that, like you said, they're going to either reach out directly or you have an offer that you're willing to help them implement something or hold them more accountable or whatever, and they want more access to you. And it's just such a. It's such an easy way that's just effortless. There's no hard closing. Because I remember, like, when my. Whenever I've offered something for free, I actually sometimes am more like, why aren't you doing it? You know, like. And now that I'm doing paid, I like to leave it alone, you know, I'm like. And so it's so funny. But it's. It's more because I know the result I can help have. Right. And so, like, that's what the gift is of all of us, you know, being able to do it because we're so tapped in.

Yes.

We can serve that. Like, that's the conviction that, like, shows, you know.

Yes, yes. And also that word connection that you talked about earlier, the. The connection we're offering for people to have with us and with one another. I feel that that's such a gift you're giving, because I've. I've mentioned this to you before, that I think part of the reason we're having so much depression and we're having so many issues and so much loneliness and sadness in the world is because everybody's disconnected. You know, they're on their phones or they're on their screens. And to have created these communities where people can come together and see what someone else is talking about, comment on it, get to know each other. They start being Facebook friends, you know, before you know it, you've got this, as you mentioned, this warm, supportive community that they wouldn't have had otherwise. That's a lot of connections. I mean, I would. I would love for you to do is go and count all the communities that have been created since you started this, all the members of them, all the friends that have been created. Right. It's. I'm sure it just.

Yeah, that's what's cool, too, because even the action class that I did the last time and the first I've done two so far. And the people that like, did it, like, came for free. Also started a Facebook group, you know, and so it's cool, like, because I've, I'm seeing those out there. And so technically I'm still, I'm still like, it's still part of the whole thing, but it, to me, it's crazy. The thing that's crazy to me is that this is, and I think I said it in my 200th episode that, like, all these relationships come from a Facebook group. Like, it's so like that it blows my mind that we have, like, this level of, like, access to help people in the way that we can through building relationships through a simple Facebook group, you know? It's crazy, right?

It's wild. It's crazy. It's. I had no idea I was not really a social media person at all. So this has all been new.

Like, I felt that podcast too, but then they can't talk to each other, you know, so it's like, it's like the podcast is great. It's just one lever, you know, The Facebook group then kind of like connects everyone together, where even if someone's just been a guest on your podcast or they've been someone that listens to it, then they're, they're. They're all like talking to each other now versus them. Just one off listening, you know? Yeah, absolutely.

I can't, I can't believe the number of connections that you have made and created. And. And I, I'm wondering too, like, one day it's going to be like, how many friendships. Maybe people will end up getting married. There'll be babies, Stacy. There'll be businesses. All this, all these things will have.

Been born out of the incubator. I. I'd love you to share.

Yeah.

Just your community. Why people should join you on this movement and this mission that you are creating for people. And yeah, just anything else that you want to share here would be amazing.

Yeah. I would love for people to come and join my community if they want to be around like minded people who are motivated and inspired to go after something that, that maybe they haven't known how to go after yet or they've been waiting for the moment. And we're going to be all talking about, do it now, do it now, do it now. We're going to be about taking action. We are. I want people to come. If they. There's anything in your life that you have wanted to do and you've been holding off or unsure how to do it or scared to do it. Come be with us and we will be, you know, encouraging each other. It's like we're going to join arms and we're going to go do it. It's like battle cry.

I love you.

And yeah. And I really, truly think that as we move forward and we start to have experts come in and talk and speak and we start seeing people taking the action and doing it now, those are going to be really fun stories. I'm thinking, actually, you know, when you talk about a book, I'm thinking about there will be a book. I'm envisioning a book about the people in the group who took action, who did it now, who are doing it now, and what that ended. You know, it's a different, it's similar to the bucket list idea.

That I think all of us have things that dreams or aspirations or achievements, something. Or, you know, maybe it's someone who wanted to sing on Broadway or they wanted to travel to a certain place or they wanted to write a book. Whatever it is, it's, we don't have any time to waste. Tomorrow's not promised. And all the things that have been holding us back. There's a way to figure it out. Everything's figureoutable if we're together. And I say that we are better together and we can do it together. So come be with us and we'll figure it out together. Do it now.

So good. Yay. Thank you so much for being here with me.

Thank you.

So good.

Thank you.

And for like using your voice.

Right. Thank you. And I want to know, are there, how can other people start doing what I've been able to do with you? When's your next.

I've got Saturn. I'm deciding if I'm opening it up so because I, I, I'm still doing the training, but I don't know if I'm opening the doors yet because I have the TEDx talk in end of August and I was planning on starting the program August 5th and so now I'm like deciding if I'm gonna do all of it, you know, kind of like. But we'll see. But anyway, training, at least you'll get to learn all about audience growth. Next Saturday is 10:00 clock Pacific Standard Time. And I just really want to, regardless of what happens, regardless who joins the program or anything, I just want people to understand the audience differently. Like, I think it's just like, it's exhausting for me, you know, to be like everybody out there just promoting, promoting, promoting, you know, and like, not tapping in to, like, like telling people why.

Like, why are you even doing it? You know? And so, and then when you do that, it's in a so much more relational way that you don't need thousands of people. You're, like, calling out the person that's specific to you. And so, so, yeah, so we're going to be talking about that during the training and things like that to help find those people and how to, to bring people in and to nurture them. So, yeah.

Okay. Well, I think everyone should be there if they can, next Saturday, 10:00am Can I come? I want to come here again.

Yeah. All right, you guys, thank you so much for coming. And do the thing. Don't wait for opportunity, create it. Bye.

Whoops.

Let me end the stream here.
