Let's dive in, rachel.

00:01:42.231 --> 00:01:44.164
Thank you so much for being here with us.

00:01:44.164 --> 00:01:46.331
I tell, tell you, I'm just excited.

00:01:46.331 --> 00:01:51.887
I know we had to postpone it here, but I said I cannot let this week go on live without getting Rachel on this podcast.

00:01:51.887 --> 00:01:53.825
But thank you so much for being on the show.

00:01:53.825 --> 00:01:56.286
So tell us a little bit about yourself.

00:01:56.286 --> 00:02:00.811
I know I read your bio here, but just a little bit, a little spurt to tell us about you.

00:02:01.801 --> 00:02:04.346
I am a digital marketing strategist.

00:02:04.346 --> 00:02:06.109
I'm also a speaker as well.

00:02:06.109 --> 00:02:14.621
I help small, new and aspiring entrepreneurs who are looking to start their online business but they just don't know how.

00:02:14.621 --> 00:02:23.778
Maybe they have an idea, or they want to profit off of a knowledge or a skillset that they have and they have no idea how to monetize it, so I teach them how to do that, regardless.

00:02:23.778 --> 00:02:25.223
If you're wanting to start a course, Maybe you want to start a community, so I teach them how to do that, regardless.

00:02:25.223 --> 00:02:36.883
If you're wanting to start a course, maybe you want to start a community, maybe you want to sell digital products, or maybe you just want to know how to have that location, time and financial freedom by working for yourself by having an online business.

00:02:37.123 --> 00:02:43.826
There are so many different strategies that I can share as well, but on the speaker side, my background is in news.

00:02:43.826 --> 00:02:49.427
I was a news producer for NBC and ABC affiliate stations and I've also transitioned to the film industry.

00:02:49.427 --> 00:02:57.286
I work behind the scenes on big, different studios such as Tyler Perry Studios, disney, amazon Studios and others, and I've taken my skill set.

00:02:57.286 --> 00:03:10.329
There's a lot of soft skills that are transferable that can really help people know how to navigate in fast-paced environments, how to thrive under pressure, and leadership skills, communication skills.

00:03:10.329 --> 00:03:24.330
So I'll speak to maybe corporations, or maybe to colleges schools basically helping those professionals, or maybe other leaders help them in terms of how to navigate personally and professionally in the area.

00:03:24.330 --> 00:03:26.360
So I do both as well.

00:03:27.044 --> 00:03:27.927
You do a lot, girl.

00:03:27.927 --> 00:03:29.616
I tell you, listen, we got us a star here.

00:03:29.616 --> 00:03:30.699
This is what I was telling you.

00:03:30.699 --> 00:03:35.752
She has done so many things that actually is so inspiring to all of us here.

00:03:35.752 --> 00:03:37.080
We said we can't do things.

00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:37.902
Yes, we can.

00:03:37.902 --> 00:03:46.795
Look, I never thought I'd be doing this podcast right, but with Rachel, with all of the God, all the stuff that she's been doing, it's just a pleasure to have her on this podcast.

00:03:46.795 --> 00:03:50.069
We're going to actually learn a little bit about what she does.

00:03:50.069 --> 00:03:56.152
We know what she does, but how she got started with her creation of the Adorn Method?

00:03:56.152 --> 00:03:59.430
What inspired you to develop the Adorn Method?

00:04:00.381 --> 00:04:07.633
The Adorn Method came out of frustration of me trying to figure out how to start an online business myself.

00:04:07.633 --> 00:04:11.209
I'm going to explain what the Adorn Method really is.

00:04:11.209 --> 00:04:26.401
It's just a five-step framework that helps anyone who's a new and aspiring entrepreneur get clarity on exactly who you are, what you're calling, what's your purpose and then what skill sets do you have so that you can turn that into a profitable online business.

00:04:26.401 --> 00:04:45.749
And also, too, let's just say, if you are not a person who wants to start an online business, it also still can help you in terms of who you are internally, so that maybe you're not trying to achieve, let's say, a career in entrepreneurship, but maybe you just want to excel yourself or get that promotion.

00:04:45.749 --> 00:05:01.100
The Adorn method is more so just it also can be a mindset shift that will help you understand how to get that promotion, because what you're really doing in marketing is really knowing how to communicate what you do as a solution to the problem that you're solving for someone else.

00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:11.081
You're finding your value, and so, when the way that I did that was, I was struggling in the beginning in entrepreneurship, trying to figure out what it is that I wanted to do.

00:05:11.541 --> 00:05:18.403
I paid so much money to hire different mentors and everybody was teaching oh, you need to do this.

00:05:18.403 --> 00:05:20.692
But then you find out I didn't get the full picture.

00:05:20.692 --> 00:05:22.702
And then it was like, oh, you also are going to need to do this.

00:05:22.702 --> 00:05:25.208
So I hire someone else and go down this rabbit hole.

00:05:25.208 --> 00:05:31.408
Or maybe I'm on YouTube constantly doing analysis, paralysis, where you're just researching but not necessarily doing.

00:05:31.408 --> 00:05:42.949
And after all of that research, I finally figured it out, and that's when I created the Adore Method, which is that five-step framework that's going to give you that clarity understand your purpose and understand how to monetize it as well.

00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:48.341
That's awesome.

00:05:48.341 --> 00:05:49.745
So, yeah, and let's talk about that adorn method.

00:05:49.745 --> 00:05:53.175
Let's talk about the step-by-step roadmap to find your niche and monetize what you know Talk about that.

00:05:53.175 --> 00:05:54.899
It's the A-D-O-R-N.

00:05:54.899 --> 00:05:55.721
What does all that mean?

00:05:56.204 --> 00:05:57.567
A-D-O-R-N.

00:05:57.908 --> 00:05:59.494
A stands for your assignment.

00:05:59.494 --> 00:06:04.709
I really strongly believe that all of us humans have an assignment here on this earth.

00:06:04.709 --> 00:06:17.081
We all have been called and uniquely created to have these special gifts, and the reason why I focus so much so on the assignment is how did God assign you at birth in terms of what are your spiritual gifts?

00:06:17.081 --> 00:06:24.466
So when I say that the reason why gifts are so important because in the Bible it says your gifts will make room for you and put you in front of great men.

00:06:24.466 --> 00:06:29.475
Once I started operating in my gifts, amazing opportunities started opening up for me.

00:06:29.475 --> 00:06:36.033
And I noticed that when I was 14 years old and I was operating in one of my biggest, strongest gifts, which is teaching.

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:53.148
So I was teaching at 14 years old at the Harbour Boys and Girls Club in St Louis, missouri that's where I'm from and as I was teaching, I was tutoring a student and a man was paying attention to me from behind and he came up to me and said wow, you're such an amazing teacher.

00:06:53.148 --> 00:06:53.750
I said thank you.

00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:57.009
He said would you like a job at the St Louis Science Center?

00:06:57.009 --> 00:07:00.230
So I had my first job at a science center, just from teaching.

00:07:00.230 --> 00:07:14.028
That opened up a door, but at the Science Center that had allowed me to study aviation and they had an exhibit on the Tuskegee Airmen and they chose me just because I was there to go to flight school.

00:07:14.028 --> 00:07:17.670
They wanted more Black people, young Black people, in aviation.

00:07:17.670 --> 00:07:19.692
So I got to meet the original Tuskegee Airmen.

00:07:19.692 --> 00:07:25.956
I got to learn how to fly a plane before I knew how to drive a car, and it was all through my spiritual gifts.

00:07:25.956 --> 00:07:29.858
And so I started young, realizing that I need to operate in my gifts.

00:07:29.858 --> 00:07:32.425
So that's why a assignment is number one.

00:07:32.425 --> 00:07:35.252
When you operate in your gifts, abundance will flow to you.

00:07:35.252 --> 00:07:47.485
So that's why you need to know who you are and what are your skill sets that come naturally to you that other people don't have, so that when you work and create a business, or maybe you go for that promotion, it's in alignment with who you are.

00:07:47.485 --> 00:07:49.831
And now you're not feeling drained in your work.

00:07:49.831 --> 00:07:54.151
You're actually doing it out of just what comes natural to you and is more enjoyable.

00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:57.045
And then D stands for discover.

00:07:57.045 --> 00:07:58.228
We're going to discover.

00:07:58.228 --> 00:08:00.942
Okay, now that we know who you are, we need to discover.

00:08:00.942 --> 00:08:03.166
What is it that you really want right?

00:08:03.166 --> 00:08:04.610
And so we will work backwards.

00:08:04.670 --> 00:08:09.290
You start from the end goal and discover exactly what it is that your goals are.

00:08:09.290 --> 00:08:13.262
And then we do, step-by-step, what are the steps to take to get there, and we have a.

00:08:13.262 --> 00:08:29.608
It's like a plan, a business plan in a sense, and then O stands for one step ahead, which really overcomes that imposter syndrome that a lot of people have, because you might say to yourself I'm not qualified to do this, oh, I don't know how to do that.

00:08:29.608 --> 00:08:31.254
And so, therefore, a lot of people get stuck and they never get started.

00:08:31.254 --> 00:08:42.966
So once I help them overcome that, by helping them see that they are one step ahead of someone else, they have the ability to teach or to monetize that particular thing that they know that somebody else doesn't have.

00:08:42.966 --> 00:08:53.931
So if you're one step ahead of something because you've accomplished something, we look at what have you done versus what have you not done, and then it makes the whole grand scheme of things feel obtainable.

00:08:54.864 --> 00:08:55.879
And R stands for research.

00:08:55.879 --> 00:09:01.663
So you really have to do your market research, and that's what I do when I talk about market research.

00:09:01.663 --> 00:09:04.171
It's understanding who your audience is.

00:09:04.171 --> 00:09:05.721
What pain points do they have.

00:09:05.721 --> 00:09:19.323
So now, when we position you and communicate what you have to offer, we communicate it as a solution to your audience's problems, because people they are really looking for a solution to whatever it is that's paining them.

00:09:19.323 --> 00:09:23.212
So we have to see what is the reason why they need you.

00:09:23.212 --> 00:09:24.669
And so we do that research.

00:09:24.669 --> 00:09:30.852
We find people who are doing something similar, and then we also can look in reverse and say how can you do it better?

00:09:30.852 --> 00:09:32.924
What makes you unique, what makes you stand out?

00:09:32.924 --> 00:09:41.202
And then N is niching down, which basically is finding your specialty, because a lot of people they might feel like, oh, I want to do this and I want to do this and I want to do this.

00:09:41.202 --> 00:09:47.605
However, when you are you ever heard that saying I'm a jack of all trade and a master of none, but the.

00:09:47.666 --> 00:09:50.552
Thing is this you can master a lot of things.

00:09:50.552 --> 00:10:01.697
However, when you have a specialty, when you niche down, you actually have a higher earning potential because those specialists are making way more money than a generalist.

00:10:01.697 --> 00:10:06.945
When you think about going to the doctor, when you have a back aid, you would go to a chiropractor.

00:10:06.945 --> 00:10:08.951
If you have a toothache you would go to a dentist.

00:10:08.951 --> 00:10:12.773
You wouldn't go to your primary care doctor for all of your ailments.

00:10:12.773 --> 00:10:26.481
You pay more for a specialist and that's how the mindset you have to have in terms of niching down, it really is positioning you to be able to have higher ticket services because you are a specialist in whatever industry that you choose to be in.

00:10:26.481 --> 00:10:33.730
And that is the adorn method and that is what's going to really help you be profitable in your business and as well as in your personal and professional life.

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:35.341
That's awesome.

00:10:35.341 --> 00:10:36.466
I tell you that's great.

00:10:36.466 --> 00:10:37.749
I'm going to listen to this again.

00:10:37.749 --> 00:10:45.491
Replay, because you really brought some great information for people to really think about as far as the adorn method.

00:10:45.491 --> 00:10:51.113
So let me ask you can you give us a real life example of how the adorn method has changed someone's life?

00:10:52.195 --> 00:10:52.975
Yeah, absolutely.

00:10:52.975 --> 00:10:54.197
I would have to say.

00:10:54.197 --> 00:10:57.798
A lot of my clients have come to me not knowing.

00:10:57.798 --> 00:11:00.461
They know they wanted to do something, they just didn't know.

00:11:00.461 --> 00:11:02.182
They didn't know how to put it into words.

00:11:02.182 --> 00:11:05.924
So I had a client, I had a friend, her name is Centoria.

00:11:05.924 --> 00:11:11.849
She had no idea what she wanted to do me.

00:11:11.849 --> 00:11:17.893
She was in tears because she had a notebook of all of her hopes, her dreams, of what she aspired to do.

00:11:17.893 --> 00:11:21.465
But she was stuck for years because she didn't know how to do it.

00:11:21.534 --> 00:11:22.681
And this is one of the biggest things.

00:11:22.681 --> 00:11:25.664
A lot of people they struggle because they say I don't know how.

00:11:25.664 --> 00:11:29.885
I think the question that you really need to ask is who does and who can help me?

00:11:29.885 --> 00:11:36.708
So when she came to me and I walked her through the Adorn Method on that same call, she had the clarity that she needed.

00:11:36.708 --> 00:11:40.546
She knew exactly what steps to take to get where she wanted to go.

00:11:40.955 --> 00:11:45.888
Because when I tell you that there is the clarity is the new currency.

00:11:45.888 --> 00:11:52.582
When you are clear on what it is that you really want to do with your life, then all you have to do is take the steps to get there.

00:11:52.582 --> 00:11:55.640
But if you don't have clarity, you won't know where you're going.

00:11:55.640 --> 00:11:58.947
So the adorn method it really gives you that peace and that clarity.

00:11:58.947 --> 00:12:09.173
And I'm telling you she was crying happy tears because on just that one call she now had a roadmap to success, versus just winging it, and nobody wants to wing it because you won't find success.

00:12:09.173 --> 00:12:24.307
There's always blueprints to success, but we have to backtrack and do all the adorn methods so that you can first of all be fulfilled in what you're doing, and then by the end you're a specialist and now you have everything in between to get there.

00:12:24.327 --> 00:12:24.769
I love it.

00:12:24.769 --> 00:12:25.250
Currency is the new.

00:12:25.250 --> 00:12:25.672
What'd you say?

00:12:25.672 --> 00:12:26.774
Clarity is the new currency.

00:12:27.575 --> 00:12:28.840
Yes, when you are clear.

00:12:29.543 --> 00:12:31.471
You will find some currency in that.

00:12:31.471 --> 00:12:32.717
Clarity is the new currency.

00:12:32.957 --> 00:12:33.500
Yes, yes.

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.605
People don't pay when they're confused.

00:12:35.605 --> 00:12:42.754
A confused mind does buy, but when they're clear and they clear that you understand that you are the solution to their problem they're more likely to purchase from you.

00:12:43.375 --> 00:12:44.279
Absolutely, absolutely.

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:44.842
I love that.

00:12:44.842 --> 00:12:45.405
I love that.

00:12:45.405 --> 00:12:52.267
So what are some of the common misconceptions women or entrepreneurs have about their image of worth, and how do you help them overcome these?

00:12:53.035 --> 00:12:55.702
I think it's the imposter syndrome, a lot of that.

00:12:55.702 --> 00:12:58.477
They don't feel qualified enough, they don't think they know enough.

00:12:58.477 --> 00:13:04.138
A lot of people have a lot of limiting beliefs in terms of self-esteem and identity.

00:13:04.138 --> 00:13:07.927
I think that's why I really dive deep into the assignment.

00:13:07.927 --> 00:13:17.802
I have a workbook for my clients that I take them through the adorn method and I have them do a spiritual gift test, because a lot of people have no idea what are their gifts.

00:13:17.802 --> 00:13:23.905
They don't even know what makes them special and then, once they start to learn how to operate in their gifts, they know how God uniquely created them.

00:13:23.905 --> 00:13:32.019
Then that shows them exactly, it gives them a sense of purpose that's what I can say Because now you have an identity that you agree with.

00:13:32.019 --> 00:13:34.244
That now you can thrive.

00:13:34.244 --> 00:13:40.751
And so once you have that identity shift and knowing who you are, I'm telling you, it makes an amazing difference and you start walking different.

00:13:40.751 --> 00:13:44.129
You start talking different, you're more confident because you know exactly who you are.

00:13:44.129 --> 00:13:45.537
You're not walking lost anymore.

00:13:46.179 --> 00:13:47.687
It's amazing because actually IBM used to.

00:13:47.687 --> 00:13:49.335
When I worked at IBM they used to do that.

00:13:49.335 --> 00:13:56.488
We used to have to take this test as far as our character, as far as what we like, and it's amazing how you find out who you are.

00:13:56.488 --> 00:14:04.307
I say that does sound like a lot of, because I'm a caring person, I like to help people, but I love what you do.

00:14:04.307 --> 00:14:12.100
As far as what you do with that, having that vehicle to actually let people walk through it and see exactly it, surprises them to say I didn't know I could do that or I didn't think I couldn't do this.

00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:20.423
I remember my father saying can comes in, cannot comes in, can you can do this?

00:14:20.423 --> 00:14:21.548
Don't say I can't do this.

00:14:21.548 --> 00:14:22.493
And I always tell them don't say I can't.

00:14:22.493 --> 00:14:24.357
That word like right there, just yes, you can.

00:14:24.357 --> 00:14:29.297
And I teach our daughters because I always taught them, to be a leader, not a follower.

00:14:30.019 --> 00:14:35.839
So, when you be a leader, you actually follow, and I'm so proud of both of them because they're both entrepreneurs, but anyway.

00:14:35.839 --> 00:14:41.349
So how does your work intersect with mental wellness, faith and personal healing?

00:14:42.716 --> 00:14:47.206
What I do, when I really, when I think about mental health, again, it's that mindset shift.

00:14:47.206 --> 00:14:48.899
I think about the Bible.

00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:53.759
A lot of things that I do, everything really that I do is rooted in biblical faith.

00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:54.701
Right, so I have a.

00:14:54.701 --> 00:15:12.797
I'm rooted in biblical principles and so one of the things that come to mind is that be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and what that means is you cannot transform into anything until your mindset is re shifted to what it is that you are focusing on.

00:15:12.797 --> 00:15:15.263
So be careful, number one, about what you focus on.

00:15:15.263 --> 00:15:23.696
But secondly, in order to get to where you really want to go, you have to first believe and agree with the thing that you say you want.

00:15:23.696 --> 00:15:26.341
You have to become that first.

00:15:26.461 --> 00:15:30.817
I don't know exactly where this came from, but there's a thing going on.

00:15:30.817 --> 00:15:32.902
It's called be do have, which.

00:15:32.902 --> 00:15:40.981
Basically, you have to first be come the thing and then, once you become it, you start doing it and eventually you start doing the thing.

00:15:40.981 --> 00:15:42.927
You eventually have the thing that you want.

00:15:42.927 --> 00:15:47.725
So it is a mindset shift that you have to have first and it's biblical.

00:15:47.725 --> 00:15:52.583
So I feel like that's a big principle to have is you have to transform your mindset first.

00:15:52.583 --> 00:15:58.418
So I'm really big on mental health and identity shifting, understanding who you are because you can't act.

00:15:58.418 --> 00:16:01.184
You have to act as if you don't have it currently.

00:16:01.184 --> 00:16:07.047
You won't ever have it until you start acting and doing the things to build the habits of who you say you want to become.

00:16:07.047 --> 00:16:14.519
You have to break those old habits and develop the new ones and create that lifestyle that you say you want.

00:16:15.280 --> 00:16:15.721
I love it.

00:16:16.003 --> 00:16:16.423
I love it.

00:16:16.563 --> 00:16:18.168
Yeah, because everything you're saying is so true.

00:16:18.168 --> 00:16:21.010
It's about the mindset, because a lot of our mindsets is God.

00:16:21.010 --> 00:16:28.216
There's so much that's going on in this world, and then that negative mindset actually pulls you back instead of the positive mindset.

00:16:28.216 --> 00:16:33.408
So, yeah, that really, and you really hit the nail on the head as far as the mindset.

00:16:33.534 --> 00:16:46.548
People don't realize the situations they're in currently is because of the beliefs or the limiting beliefs they have, and you may not even realize the mindset is what is attracting those negative experiences in your life.

00:16:46.548 --> 00:16:51.027
But once you start focusing on the things that you say you want, you start entering new circles.

00:16:51.027 --> 00:16:57.522
Your friendships and the community that you are surrounding yourself will start to change and your language will start to change.

00:16:57.522 --> 00:17:00.825
The Bible even says bad company corrupts good character.

00:17:00.825 --> 00:17:08.209
So imagine if you surround yourself with people who you aspire to be like, you instantaneously and just subconsciously will become those things.

00:17:08.209 --> 00:17:10.682
So be careful what you agree with as well.

00:17:10.682 --> 00:17:13.875
I was reading a book called the Four Agreements.

00:17:13.875 --> 00:17:25.045
I can't remember who wrote it, but he did mention that be careful what you agree with, because if you agree with something negative and you speak it and agree with it, then it's almost like you're putting a curse on yourself.

00:17:25.045 --> 00:17:30.045
So don't agree with anything that's not in alignment with who you are or who you want to become.

00:17:30.486 --> 00:17:31.146
Like manifest.

00:17:31.146 --> 00:17:36.165
You might manifest the positive of something instead of the negative, that energy.

00:17:36.165 --> 00:17:38.597
It depends on what energy you're putting out there.

00:17:38.597 --> 00:17:41.425
You want to put that part in and we get caught up into that.

00:17:41.425 --> 00:17:44.845
That's the humans, right, the energy that we put out.

00:17:44.845 --> 00:17:55.321
As far as the negative that follows you, Whereas you're going to say I'm going to have a good day today or something good is going to happen to me today I love Joe Oza, Joyce Meyer, Something good is going to happen to me today.

00:17:55.321 --> 00:17:57.025
That was always my favorite thing that I would say.

00:17:57.025 --> 00:17:58.126
And then things start happening.

00:17:58.126 --> 00:18:00.038
That's good for you.

00:18:00.057 --> 00:18:01.762
So what else holds people back?

00:18:01.762 --> 00:18:02.384
What holds people?

00:18:02.424 --> 00:18:04.652
back Again.

00:18:04.652 --> 00:18:06.217
I think it really stems from fear.

00:18:06.217 --> 00:18:08.962
If I had to say what's the root cause of everything, it's fear.

00:18:08.962 --> 00:18:11.195
It could be fear of the unknown.

00:18:11.195 --> 00:18:16.344
It could be fear that you're not good enough, fear that maybe they're going to talk bad about you, or what if it works?

00:18:16.344 --> 00:18:17.305
Or what if it works?

00:18:17.305 --> 00:18:20.730
Some people are afraid of success because now that means more responsibility.

00:18:20.730 --> 00:18:28.378
It's overall, it's fear, and once you learn to become fearless because we're not created to be fearful, we really aren't.

00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:38.784
Fear is something that comes from experiences, maybe negative or trauma or so forth, and you have to learn that things that you are afraid of that can cause anxiety over your life.

00:18:38.784 --> 00:19:13.424
It has not even happened, right, Because your anxiety is you're afraid of something that potentially could happen and you make up all these ideas in your head, but it's the acronym that goes around, is false evidence appearing real, which is what EAR could stand for, Because a lot of times I have to have courage to go after things that I haven't done before in order to break through and become who I say I want to be, and the thing that I was quote unquote anxious about never happened, and if I had not gone through it then I would have never achieved the successes that I've had in my life.

00:19:13.424 --> 00:19:19.438
Because if I allow fear to stop me so fear of not knowing then stop saying I don't know.

00:19:19.438 --> 00:19:21.944
Say who does, and then surround yourself with them.

00:19:21.944 --> 00:19:27.406
And I think that's the biggest thing is don't allow fear to rob you of who you are supposed to be.

00:19:28.756 --> 00:19:29.999
Exactly, and that is so true.

00:19:29.999 --> 00:19:42.355
That's funny I have on my computer anger is a camouflage to fear A lot of people get angry and that's just a camouflage that they're really scared to do it, so they take it out on other people, so that is yeah, I don't know, I had that on my computer.

00:19:42.355 --> 00:19:43.640
I said, okay, when did I write this?

00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:44.501
But it's so true.

00:19:44.501 --> 00:19:49.441
It is so true because fear is false, evidence superior, real, and it's about faith.

00:19:49.540 --> 00:19:53.048
You have to fight to have the focus to have faith.

00:19:53.048 --> 00:19:54.438
Yeah, that that is something.

00:19:54.438 --> 00:19:56.703
So what should listeners do next?

00:19:56.703 --> 00:19:58.174
Let me go back here.

00:19:58.174 --> 00:19:59.458
So what else holds people back?

00:19:59.458 --> 00:20:03.121
And you talk about time, money, another external objective Tell us about that.

00:20:04.627 --> 00:20:05.470
Say that question again.

00:20:05.470 --> 00:20:06.112
What's the question?

00:20:06.231 --> 00:20:08.165
What else holds people back so?

00:20:08.226 --> 00:20:08.748
I think we.

00:20:08.748 --> 00:20:11.916
I just answered, there was fear and then mindset.

00:20:12.505 --> 00:20:17.278
OK, ok, ok, because you're going to talk about money and time and external objection.

00:20:18.746 --> 00:20:21.112
When you say money and time, like they don't have.

00:20:21.132 --> 00:20:24.508
They say that I don't say they don't have money, oh, let me OK.

00:20:24.647 --> 00:20:32.035
So when it comes to if you't have, if you don't feel like you have money to do the thing, a lot of times you don't necessarily need money.

00:20:32.035 --> 00:20:35.105
Opportunities are created mostly through relationships.

00:20:35.105 --> 00:20:35.926
You need to.

00:20:35.926 --> 00:20:45.117
If you don't have money, you need to start building relationships with people, not necessarily to use people, but more so to learn and to help.

00:20:45.117 --> 00:20:56.509
And once you are a person of service, you will notice that a lot of the things that you say you want will start to be given back to you, like the law of reciprocity, like you have to give in order to receive.

00:20:56.829 --> 00:21:03.413
So if you are a giver, if you have more time than you have money, you need to be a person who gives more, and you're going to notice.

00:21:03.413 --> 00:21:17.211
A lot of people start saying I remember when I was interning, when I was a news producer and I was just constantly helping out the reporters, the anchors and so forth, just being a sponge, and then they naturally said what do you want to do?

00:21:17.211 --> 00:21:23.474
And then they started helping me and then eventually I got hired at the news station because I was of service first.

00:21:23.474 --> 00:21:24.958
And that's what you do.

00:21:24.958 --> 00:21:29.275
If you don't have money, then you have to be a good, willing person and be of service.

00:21:29.817 --> 00:21:30.198
Absolutely.

00:21:31.846 --> 00:21:40.559
I think also too, when I think about marketing, because that's something I would love to talk about is for the entrepreneurs out there, or new and aspiring entrepreneurs.

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:44.115
As a lot of people say, you have to have money to make money.

00:21:44.115 --> 00:21:51.069
I can say that is true, but there's a lot of things that you can do absolutely for free that you may not even realize.

00:21:51.069 --> 00:21:53.435
There's a scripture in the Bible thinking of this lady.

00:21:53.435 --> 00:21:56.634
She was a widow and she was in so much debt.

00:21:56.634 --> 00:22:04.098
If you are in debt right now, then this is for you, because she didn't realize the assets that she had in her own home.

00:22:04.098 --> 00:22:06.948
She went to a prophet and he asked her what do you have?

00:22:06.948 --> 00:22:08.373
And she said I don't have nothing.

00:22:08.373 --> 00:22:14.571
And he said and she thought about it and she realized she had some oil.

00:22:14.592 --> 00:22:16.019
There are some things and assets in your home that are sitting idle.

00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:16.962
That might be your gifts, your talents.

00:22:16.962 --> 00:22:24.628
If you, let's say, you want to be a chef or you want to cook, but you have a kitchen and you're not cooking, you could sell plates, things that you already have.

00:22:24.628 --> 00:22:31.858
If you are, if you have knowledge in your head on something that you know that other people keep asking you about, you can turn that to a business for free.

00:22:31.858 --> 00:22:38.196
Start teaching people and that costs nothing, because social media is free to promote yourself and market yourself.

00:22:38.196 --> 00:22:39.807
Now how to do these things?

00:22:39.807 --> 00:22:44.105
I'm just giving you an idea of how you can take nothing and turn it into anything.

00:22:44.105 --> 00:22:48.710
You just have to know how to be creative, which is why I am a digital marketing strategist.

00:22:48.710 --> 00:22:59.578
I can help you understand what is it that you have that you may not even realize that you have, and turn that into something that you can profit off of, because you don't need to have the money.

00:22:59.578 --> 00:23:03.241
What you need to have is more valuable than money, which is your creativity.

00:23:04.704 --> 00:23:04.986
Oh, absolutely.

00:23:05.006 --> 00:23:10.390
And how to build those connections with people who you can serve and then also you will see them serving you.

00:23:11.993 --> 00:23:12.535
Awesome.

00:23:12.535 --> 00:23:13.698
That really makes a lot of sense.

00:23:13.698 --> 00:23:14.246
But you know what?

00:23:14.246 --> 00:23:21.527
We don't have to have you back on this show, because we can talk more about a lot of stuff that you can teach us, and I really say education.

00:23:21.527 --> 00:23:29.200
If I say collaboration the keys it says but also education, educating people to know, and you just gave us some great tips and pointers here.

00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.753
So what should listeners do next to get in touch with you?

00:23:32.753 --> 00:23:33.757
Tell us how they can do that.

00:23:34.684 --> 00:23:34.826

Yes, listen, you are a wealth of knowledge, honey, and I tell you you'd be like a bonus for people to have you come speak, because you just really laid some great nuggets to all of us what you do and what you're doing, and we're going to be doing a webinar ourselves, right?

00:25:07.837 --> 00:25:16.373
Yes, we are going to be doing a webinar, and that's going to be perfect for those new and aspiring entrepreneurs, so make sure you follow.

00:25:16.373 --> 00:25:26.550
I would say, ms Wanda, because you mentioned that this also, too, will be on your YouTube as well, because I know that if they're listening on the podcast, that they're going to be able to listen.

00:25:26.550 --> 00:25:46.248
But if you go in the description area, find the link to her YouTube and you will be able to see all the other links there, because we're going to be sharing the links very soon to the workshop we're going to put together, and she's going to talk about all of the legal opportunities that you have to protect yourself and your business, as well as your personal assets.

00:25:46.248 --> 00:25:57.096
But also, too, if you're interested, I'm also going to be speaking on marketing and how to market your business and all the possibilities that you have to create that location, time and financial freedom online.

00:25:58.266 --> 00:26:02.705
Awesome, awesome, I tell you, and I love it because we were talking before and she taught me a lot of stuff here.

00:26:02.705 --> 00:26:06.271
So even when I put my podcast, okay, I didn't know I could put that link in there.

00:26:06.271 --> 00:26:11.098
So, yeah, definitely, yeah, this is actually going to be on every podcast platform, but also on YouTube.

00:26:11.098 --> 00:26:20.411
So please make sure you go on WD Pearson Associates and YouTube, as well as Ready Set Collaborate on YouTube and Wanda Pearson YouTube, so I'm in all of those on YouTube.

00:26:20.411 --> 00:26:25.088
So subscribe please and follow us on every podcast platform.

00:26:25.108 --> 00:26:30.338
But, rachel, thank you so much for being my guest on this podcast.

00:26:30.338 --> 00:26:32.152
What a beautiful and powerful conversation.

00:26:32.152 --> 00:26:39.434
It was just, really just mind-blowing and, like I said, I have to go back and listen to a lot of stuff that she was teaching me here.

00:26:39.434 --> 00:26:48.354
So thank you, rachel, for reminding us that how we can present ourselves is deeply connected to how we see and value ourselves.

00:26:48.354 --> 00:26:51.159
The Adorn Method is more than a style guide.

00:26:51.159 --> 00:26:57.728
It's a lifestyle of intentional living and self-celebration.

00:26:57.728 --> 00:27:02.188

00:27:08.992 --> 00:27:11.190
Thank you, rachel once again, thank you so much.

00:27:11.190 --> 00:27:12.012
Thank you for having me.

00:27:12.354 --> 00:27:13.277
Bye, absolutely.

00:27:15.125 --> 00:27:17.294
That wraps up another episode of Ready Set.

00:27:17.294 --> 00:27:19.040
