You'll be able to sit with them and ask them questions, so you won't just be in the group hearing. I mean, this is amazing by itself. I have no doubt you guys can learn so much just from the summit. But if you want to come backstage with myself and the speakers and, you know, really dive in and ask the real gritty questions like, how do I actually implement this in my life?

It's gonna be so awesome. It's gonna be amazing. So, um, if you want VIP access, let me know. It's just $39 today. And also, you can win lots of amazing prizes when you share out the information that I shared earlier in this group. So I want to jump in and talk about, you know, the, the topic that I want to share today, which is Do you ever look around at successful people and wonder, how were they successful? How are they doing these things? How are they creating this success that, you know, maybe you're like, well, they started after me, yet they're experiencing all this success, they're doing all these things. And, you know, like, the crazy part is, like, when you look around and you see people, whether if they're in a successful business, they're in a successful relationship. You just wonder, like, what is it? Like, what is that magic thing? What is that magic touch that they're doing that, like, for some reason I'm not seeming to hook on to? Or, you know, maybe you're trying— what is that? You're trying everything and it's just not seeming to work or seeming to land for you. So, you know, I remember last year, or in 2019, this time last year, I was in San Diego And I had been spending a lot of time there. I was traveling a lot. I was doing—I was in Palm Springs, California, or Palm Desert. I was in you know San Diego, and I remember like working at these Starbucks. And you guys know I am not sponsored by Starbucks. However, if they want to give me an endorsement, I would be fine with that. Okay, and you know like so I remember sitting at these Starbucks because it's what I do when I'm traveling. I whether if I'm in the airport, whether if I'm you know in its town. I always kind of know the consistency of it, which I actually— I do a, a case study on Starbucks and what made them famous. If you guys are interested in that, let me know. So, um, you know, I would sit in these Starbucks and I would be like, what on earth do these people do, right? Like, they would drive up in their Maseratis, their Ferraris, their like Rolls-Royces, and I'm like, what on earth are these people doing? To be successful, right? Like, and I even found out there's a guy on YouTube that like stops people in their cars and asks them what they're doing. And I'm like, this is genius. Why didn't, why didn't I think of that, right? But the cool thing is I get to work with entrepreneurs one-on-one that are creating those 6 and 7-figure businesses. So I get to see what they're doing. I've had the behind-the-scenes look at exactly what they're doing to create that level of success. And, you know, I just It's crazy to me that there's so many people out there that are creating success. And you know, when I was growing up, I honestly thought— and let me know if this is your experience too— I honestly thought that the people who are creating success were somehow just lucky. Or you know, maybe they grew up with privilege. Maybe they were born into a family where, you know, they, they didn't have a single parent, or they didn't have to, you know, were so broke that they had to go steal toilet paper from the library at times like I did, you know, growing up. I— we were, you know, I had a single parent and there was times we had to go to the public library and get our needs met by taking some toilet paper. So sorry, libraries. That's why I love to donate to libraries today to give back. But, you know, I really thought that somehow these people were like somehow different than me, right? Like I put them on a pedestal, like they have prestige, they grew up from money, they're just lucky. Right? Like they're just lucky. And somehow that like separated me from being like them. And let me tell you guys, all of the speakers that are on here throughout the next 12 days, every single one of them has hit success. And you will be shocked to find out that they are just like you and me. They are just like you and me, no matter what their success level is, no matter what they have going on. They are not somehow like some sort of like lucky person. You know, yes, absolutely. Some people do grow up with a little more opportunity than others do, right? Like honestly, if you're like me, I am a white woman who grew up in America, so there's a lot of opportunity with that. Whereas you know, if you grow up in another country, maybe there's there's disadvantages. But let me tell you, we all grow up and we all have the. Same 24 hours in our day to create the success that we truly desire. So at any point, I don't want you guys to look at these speakers that we have on here and somehow like separate yourself from them, somehow decide that they're different or they're privileged, or, you know, they somehow like were given the golden spoon and they grew up just having opportunity. Because, you know, the truth is, at the end of the day, each one of these people who's so successful Whether they were born into opportunity or they were born into like a family with a single parent who you know struggled and were the first entrepreneurs like me, like there was no entrepreneurs in my life. It was always that that like go to college, get a job, pay your bills. It's a struggle mentality, right? So I never want you to believe that any one of these people is is somehow different than you and put them on a platform, put them on like a you know like on the pedestal. Is if they're different, because each one of you has the same opportunity. And believe me, Beyoncé has the same 24 hours in her day as you do. Oprah Winfrey has the same 24 hours in her day that you do. Um, LeBron James, Tom Brady, my favorite quarterback who is about to get his 7th Super Bowl ring, has the same 24 hours in his day that I do, that you do, that we do, right? Like, think about that. Really let that settle in for a moment and really think about that. Like, holy cow. So what is it that they're doing to create that success, to go all in? What are they doing in their life That is creating a level of success. Well, you guys, there are some people who are born into it. There's some people who have luck. There's some people who have you know specific experiences that create this success. But you want to know what the one thing is that totally and completely sets people apart who are successful and from those who are not. If you want to know, let me know in the comments right now. I'd love to see in the comments. Let me put my comments up. Who wants to know what the one thing is that sets people apart from being successful and people from not being successful? Are you ready? Are you ready? I said, are you ready? You guys will notice I act like a total dork on here to give you permission to come out of your comfort zone because growth starts outside of your comfort zone, right? I always say, like, if you're in pain, if you're failing, good, good. Because if you're failing, if you're in the stretch, if you're feeling the growth, if you're feeling the pain, that's where growth happens. That's where growth happens. And I want you to celebrate it, and I want you to celebrate it big. So what is the one thing that makes people successful from other people. That one thing is they are consistent over time. I say this to my team all of the time: people who do consistently what other people do occasionally will rise to the top. They will rise to the top. There's consistency and There's persistence. There is, you know, all of these things. There's time factors. There's limitations. There's the money limitations. There's opportunity limitations. There are, you know, a lot of real things in life that we can either like perceive are standing in our way or are really in our way. But you know what? The one thing that I see people do to create success in their life and to go big, to hit that next level, is because The people will do consistently what other people only do occasionally. I'll say that again: successful people will do consistently what other people only do occasionally. And you know, I am yet to meet someone who is like, you know, I have no idea how. All of a sudden, I became debt-free in my life. Like, it was so weird. I was just sitting around. I wasn't even paying attention. You know, I was on Amazon, and the next thing I know, all my credit card bills are gone. And it was just—it was crazy, right? Like, I am yet to meet that person. I am yet to meet the person who says, "Oh my gosh, it's crazy!" Like, all of a sudden, I lost fifty pounds, and I don't even know how it happened. Zero. Zero people like that. What I do hear all of the time is I cut back on my spending. I sacrificed the things I didn't really need. I cut back on all the Starbucks trips or all the Dutch Bros trips if you're in Oregon, or all of the Dunkin' Donuts visits if you're back on the East Coast. I hear people all the time that said, you know, I let go of that Amazon spending habit. I Stepped out of my comfort zone. I started eating at home more. I started making my own coffee, and next thing I knew, I was debt-free. What I do hear is people who said, you know, like, I started lifting weights, I cut 200 calories a day, I started, you know, taking walks after dinner, I started making little tiny habit changes in my life, and next thing I knew, I was fit. I was in the best shape of my life. I lost 20 pounds. Like, this definitely happens. It is through doing things consistently that other people will only do occasionally. This is what gets you to the next step. This is what creates the success that you truly desire. This is what will separate those who have a business and those who are successful. Those who are successful. I mean, I remember in my own life like spinning my wheels, feeling stuck in my business, feeling like I honestly had burnout. I didn't even like the clients I was working with, and I wanted to go— I wanted to give up. I wanted to go back to the corporate life because it would have been easier to just go back and get a J-O-B and clock in, clock out, go home. But instead, I was willing to do consistently what other people were only willing to do occasionally. I invested in a coach. I invested in my business. Still today, like, more than, I don't know, like 10-20% of my income goes back to coaching, goes back to my business. You know, if you really set it down, like 30 to 40% of my income, the revenue in my company goes back to investing in my business because I'm willing to do consistently what other people will only do occasionally. And I see this all the time in the business world where people are like, you know, I hope I can have a business. I want to create abundance. I want to get clients. I want to create the next level. I want to get, you know, I want to, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want. So occasionally, occasionally they will invest in their business. Occasionally they will show up. Occasionally they will make it not about them. Occasionally they will make it about their clients. Occasionally they will serve. Occasionally they will invest in their business. Occasionally they'll join in on a course as long as it's cheap or free. And you know, they don't receive that consistency. They don't end up hitting the level of success. And you know what? I work so intentionally in my business, and when I fail— when I fail— because I don't know if you guys know this, if you've been following me for a while you'll remember this, but in 2019 I made it my goal to fail 19 times in a year. I lost count how many times I failed after 25. I stopped counting because when you fail, you can hit your success, you can hit the next level quicker. I guarantee you that every single one of these speakers that we talk to over the next 12 days has hit failure more than once because it is the ones who are willing to take consistent action in their businesses that will fail, that will then, you know, get to the goal quicker, that will then hit success quicker. So my hope is that you will hit those consistencies, do what other people are willing— are not willing to do, though other people are only going to do occasionally, that you fail faster. Because when you fail faster, you get to the prize quicker. You get to the prize quicker. So successful people fail often. Way more often than ordinary people, because ordinary people will say, "I give up. I've tried this. I've tried that. I've tried everything." Right? I hear that a lot. Val, I've tried everything. I'm like, what? I went live on Facebook three times in the past four months, and I haven't gotten a single sale. Okay, I put together a course that I knew was going to be amazing and nobody bought it. Okay, been there, done that. Crickets. So, you know, fail quicker, get to the goal faster. Fail quicker, get to the goal faster. And let me share with you guys, let me tell you the truth. Intention. Intention does not determine success. Let me say that again for all of y'all in the back row. Intention does not determine success. Action determines success. Action determines success. In other words, When you keep on doing what you're doing, you will keep on getting what you're getting. If you keep on doing what you're doing, you will keep on getting what you get, what you're getting. You can have all of the best intentions. Again, I get people all the time that are telling me, you know, I hope I can get a client. I am like manifesting 4 new clients this week. I am manifesting a $10,000 launch. I want this, I want that, I want this, but action Is what actually determines if you get there or not. Action is what determines if you actually get there or not. Hope, even though I love hope, and this summit is all about creating hope where there is none, creating a movement of hope. But let me tell you the truth. The other side of that coin is that hope doesn't change your life. We can hope that we lose 20 pounds. We can hope that we have a six-figure and beyond business. We can hope that we create success. We can hope we have that amazing relationship. We can hope that we have the business that we truly desire, but hope does not change your life. Habits, habits change your life. So today, as we look at the how, we look at how to create success, how to turn your passions into profits. How to you know monetize, how to you know really create that business you truly desire, how to create success even in uncertainty. As we unfold this, we uncover all of this over the next 12 days of the summit. It is not a random result that is going to create this. It is not by hoping that you get there that you will create success. It is not by like random series of events that will create the business, the life, the relationship, the health, the wealth, the abundance that you truly desire. It is not by hoping, and it is not by random. It is not by, you know, all of these just like crazy things that just happen to fall in place, and all of a sudden you wake up and you have the business and the life of your true desires. It is about intentional, consistent, seemingly small, sometimes big Decisions and action over time that will create the success you truly desire. Because if you want to be in the top, you know, I don't know, they say 1%, but let's say like 3% of the world that is actually doing, that is being. Because it's not all about checking the box. You know, Elena talked about that earlier. It's not about checking the box and doing, doing, doing, doing, doing, doing, go, go, go, go, go, do, do, do. It is about being. In your magic, being that successful 6-figure business owner, being in that creativity, being the woman, the man, the business, the entrepreneur, the business owner of integrity and success. It is about being in your power, being in your magic. If you want to create that, hope does not change your life. Hope is the magical seed that we are planting here in the 2021 Hope Business Summit. Hope does not change your life sitting around hoping that you lose 20 pounds, hoping that you create a successful business, hoping that you can someday have that dream home, hoping that someday you can have the magical relationship. It is not hope That changes your life. It is habits. It is habits. So the secret, y'all, I am revealing the secret of success right now on day one. It is 11:11 a.m. Like this is literally blowing my mind. It's 11:11 a.m. here in Oregon where I'm at. The secrets. I'm gonna pull back the curtain. Are you ready? The secret to creating success, abundance, the business you truly desire, the relationship you truly desire, the you know anything that you want in this world—it is not a magical you know combination. Do do do check the box. Go go go be this do this hustle. It is. Doing consistently what others will do occasionally. Doing consistently what others will do occasionally. So I hope that you guys were super inspired by that. I know you are going to get so much impact. You're going to get so much knowledge on how to move forward by being in this tribe of you know like high vibe, next level entrepreneurs and business leaders. We have so many amazing things coming up tomorrow. I have some really dear friends of mine who are incredible. They are amazing. It is Vince and Christina Shirey.
