Yesterday was the VIP day for our Copy Accelerator members.
This is the bonus day we give to our mastermind members before our event actually starts today.
We had a bunch of killer speakers yesterday to help like Frank Kern, Chris Haddad, Kim Krause Schwalm, Scott Rewick, Brent Charleton and more…
I wasn’t able to attend a bunch of the roundtable sessions since I was hosting my own roundtable.
However, I want to share a few of my biggest lessons from the day.
These were mostly from Brent Charleton (since I was present for his session).
If you’re not familiar with Brent, he’s my coach that helps me with the mental/emotional side of stuff in my business.
Here’s a few things Brent said yesterday that stood out to me.
“Most entrepreneurs become entrepreneurs to create safety and stability for themselves”
This is something Brent has said to me before.
And it really hits home for me.
I didn’t have a whole lot of safety in my house growing up.
There was a lot of abuse…
And my mom ruled the house like a dictator.
So I never really had a say.
I still remember the first time I talked about this with Brent, and he made a side comment that “this is why you’re an entrepreneur by the way”.
I remember being surprised by that.
In my head, I CHOSE to be an entrepreneur.
But the more Ive worked with him, the more Ive realized this isn’t the full story.
In order to get the independence and safety I never had as a kid, I had to do things on my own.
It’s why I was entrepreneurial from a young age…
Selling baseball cards at garage sales when I was 9…
Or trying to make money on eBay in highschool…
None of that stuff ever amounted to anything, but it was a sign of me seeking “safety and independence”.
I always love when Brent drops little nuggets like this when we talk.
Cause it changes the way you see things.
Alright let’s do one more…
“If you’re too focused on getting to $20k a month, you might miss out on the $40k a month opportunities”
This was Brent’s response to one of our members who told him his goal was to get to $20k a month.
I’ve actually never heard Brent talk about this before, but it makes sense.
I think if you’re just starting out, it’s probably smart to focus on how to get to $5k a month…
But once you have that established, I think Brent’s advice here is spot-on.
Focusing too hard on whatever your income goal is, can prevent you from seeing bigger opportunities.
You don’t want to be walking past dollars to pick up pennies.
Make sense?
I hope so.
Cause that’s all I got for ya today…
BTW if you’re not in our FB group yet, makee sure you join today. We’ll be posting a bunch of pics and videos from the event today.
