Imagine only working a 25 to 30-hour workweek, but being paid full time. This is the reality for the employees of my guest, Katelyn Magnuson, the Millenial Money Expert, and owner of a full-service accounting firm.
Katelyn shares her journey from working corporate jobs to becoming an entrepreneur who only works 25-30 hours a week and expects her employees to do the same. She shares the open secret that most office workers only spend an average of 30 hours a week completing productive work. Her schedule allows for an ideal work/life balance that so many people strive for, but never achieve.
Let’s look at how she did it.
Questions and Answers
- To kick things off… why did you choose to go with a 25-30 hour week in your company?
- Are your employees only getting paid for 30 hours, or do they get full-time pay?
- You also said that your workforce is remote, and you let them be more flexible with their schedules vs having their schedule be roughly the same every week — how has that improved things like employee retention and satisfaction?
- Have you had trouble finding employees that can manage this freedom?
- How does this flexibility impact inter-company relationships and staff meetings?
- Has it created any challenges with your relationships with your clients?
- Has this reduced schedule hindered your growth at all?
Do you include employee improvement or training in that 30-hour week? - Why do you think this concept is so hard to normalize — especially in the US?
- Do you have any final advice or tips that you’d like to share with our audience?
- To wrap it up — tell us more about who you like to work with, how you can help them, and where they can find you.

00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:01,980
- Hey, Busy Business People,
2
00:00:01,980 --> 00:00:04,620
I am here today with another
entrepreneur taking action,
3
00:00:04,620 --> 00:00:05,720
Katelyn Magnuson.
4
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,730
She created a thriving company
5
00:00:07,730 --> 00:00:11,770
where her employees work
a 25 to 30 hour week max,
6
00:00:11,770 --> 00:00:13,470
get full-time pay,
7
00:00:13,470 --> 00:00:16,480
and enjoy a balanced lifestyle
that allows them to be human.
8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,973
And I'm learning how she
did it so stay tuned.
9
00:00:18,973 --> 00:00:21,640
(upbeat music)
10
00:00:30,767 --> 00:00:32,560
So we gotta kick this off
11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,100
with why did you make the decision
12
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:36,865
that a 25, 30-hour week was
something you had to do?
13
00:00:36,865 --> 00:00:39,700
- (sighs) So many reasons.
14
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:42,340
But essentially, I'd worked
in corporate off and on
15
00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:45,340
over the last 10, 12 years.
16
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:48,080
And I found myself able to get my job done
17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,240
at almost every single company
within that same timeframe,
18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,920
sometimes even less than that.
19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,860
And sure there may have
been like the outlier,
20
00:00:54,860 --> 00:00:59,860
but I was regularly punished
for being more efficient.
21
00:00:59,990 --> 00:01:01,210
More was put onto my plate.
22
00:01:01,210 --> 00:01:03,530
Instead of being able to step
up into my responsibility
23
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:06,280
and own the tasks that I
had been brought on to do,
24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,370
I then had to own those and then some.
25
00:01:08,370 --> 00:01:11,220
And heaven forbid you
advocate for a pay raise
26
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:12,053
or something else.
27
00:01:12,053 --> 00:01:13,660
So it led me to jumping careers
28
00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:16,350
which actually worked great
in my financial favor,
29
00:01:16,350 --> 00:01:19,530
but I don't think, it's
been proven, right?
30
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:21,160
Most of us don't work 40-hour weeks
31
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,230
if you work in a
traditional office setting.
32
00:01:23,230 --> 00:01:25,250
We may be there for 40 hours,
33
00:01:25,250 --> 00:01:27,430
but we are not productive for 40 hours.
34
00:01:27,430 --> 00:01:28,840
So instead of requiring
35
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,840
when I was crafting this
employment dream we'll call it,
36
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,390
why do we have to do it that way?
37
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:37,780
Just because it's been done that way,
38
00:01:37,780 --> 00:01:39,210
it doesn't need to be done that way.
39
00:01:39,210 --> 00:01:41,280
And so I really challenged myself
40
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,790
to sort of put my money where
my mouth was, literally,
41
00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:46,403
and do it differently.
42
00:01:48,005 --> 00:01:48,930
- I think that's really awesome.
43
00:01:48,930 --> 00:01:50,810
I know I was taught that
early on in business
44
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:52,170
when I was hiring my first employees.
45
00:01:52,170 --> 00:01:56,010
That to calculate the
effective time of an employee
46
00:01:56,010 --> 00:01:57,440
so you can set your prices,
47
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,530
that you calculated at
5 1/2 to six hours a day
48
00:02:00,530 --> 00:02:01,720
of effective time.
49
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,840
It's like they're there
for eight to nine hours,
50
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,420
nine hours if they have
an hour lunch break.
51
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:07,377
They're there for nine hours,
52
00:02:07,377 --> 00:02:10,360
and you could only consider
them effective for six
53
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,050
if you wanted accurate projections.
54
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:14,310
So it's like I had these big gurus
55
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:17,470
that were telling people to
work like 45, 50-hour weeks.
56
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:20,450
And they're telling me
to project six hours
57
00:02:20,450 --> 00:02:21,283
of productive time.
58
00:02:21,283 --> 00:02:25,240
And it's like, why are you,
on a day work six hours?
59
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,090
- Right, exactly.
60
00:02:26,090 --> 00:02:28,620
- It just made so much sense,
but no one was doing it.
61
00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:30,130
- Yeah.
- Yep.
62
00:02:30,130 --> 00:02:31,603
- No, and that's what we see.
63
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:35,980
We also don't normally
work six consecutive hours.
64
00:02:35,980 --> 00:02:37,750
Normally, it'll be like, and
it depends on the person,
65
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:39,680
but two to four or somewhere in there.
66
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,520
And then they'll take a break
67
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,980
or they'll go to a
chiropractor appointment
68
00:02:41,980 --> 00:02:44,200
or they'll do whatever,
go lay on the couch.
69
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,810
Like it doesn't matter.
70
00:02:45,810 --> 00:02:48,240
But they'll work in
spurts that work for them.
71
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,800
And so maybe they wanna
be done for the day
72
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,430
or they have friends to go hang out with.
73
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:52,860
Great, they'll put five or six hours in.
74
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:54,080
But it's less about the hours
75
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,920
and more about the efficiency
of what they're doing.
76
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:58,210
So if you get it all done,
77
00:02:58,210 --> 00:02:59,670
and we've had discussions
78
00:02:59,670 --> 00:03:01,890
about where we need to be for the week,
79
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:03,750
go, take Friday.
80
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:04,583
Take Monday.
81
00:03:05,558 --> 00:03:07,360
Do what you need to do and be an adult.
82
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,280
And we hire people or I
hire people that I trust
83
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,470
to fulfill the obligations that
we're bringing them on for.
84
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:17,730
And I didn't realize it
was such a novel concept
85
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:18,573
at the time.
86
00:03:19,970 --> 00:03:22,813
- Trusting people to be
adults is a novel concept.
87
00:03:24,030 --> 00:03:26,060
- Yeah, no, really did not understand that
88
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:28,180
until it was pointed out to me
89
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:30,450
that that wasn't apparently that common.
90
00:03:30,450 --> 00:03:32,660
And I just don't see
a better way to do it.
91
00:03:32,660 --> 00:03:34,930
I don't wanna micromanage people.
92
00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:36,980
I work with other business owners,
93
00:03:36,980 --> 00:03:39,870
and maybe that's being an entrepreneur.
94
00:03:39,870 --> 00:03:42,100
From the get-go, I was like,
95
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:44,540
I want you to come in
with a level of ownership
96
00:03:45,470 --> 00:03:47,220
and a level of responsibility.
97
00:03:47,220 --> 00:03:49,150
And yes, we'll be here for training.
98
00:03:49,150 --> 00:03:52,250
We'll be here for support and
to help do whatever we can
99
00:03:52,250 --> 00:03:53,900
to set you up for success.
100
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:55,740
But it's also, like the onus is on you
101
00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:57,430
to take responsibility.
102
00:03:57,430 --> 00:03:59,027
And then be like, "Yeah, I did this.
103
00:03:59,027 --> 00:04:00,020
"I kicked ass at it."
104
00:04:00,020 --> 00:04:03,680
Or "Hey, I need a little
bit more help in XYZ area."
105
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,180
And there's no reason.
106
00:04:06,180 --> 00:04:09,300
We have our employees,
I know what I'm doing,
107
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:10,850
'cause I wouldn't have done it,
108
00:04:12,030 --> 00:04:15,400
clock in and not clock in.
109
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,590
I don't look at any of it.
110
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:19,360
I don't even have access to
the time clock app they use,
111
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,240
'cause they use whatever they choose.
112
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,580
But to make sure that they're
not exceeding those hours.
113
00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:24,640
And if they are,
114
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,930
because so many of us come from workaholic
115
00:04:26,930 --> 00:04:28,840
or traditional workforce backgrounds,
116
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,190
we have a conversation.
117
00:04:31,190 --> 00:04:34,100
Okay, are you bumping up
against 32 hours every week
118
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:35,980
of actual active time?
119
00:04:35,980 --> 00:04:36,813
Let's chat.
120
00:04:36,813 --> 00:04:38,150
Did you hit more than that?
121
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:39,430
Do we need to reconfigure?
122
00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:40,410
Do we need to hire?
123
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:43,310
Do we have systems that
aren't working or are broken?
124
00:04:43,310 --> 00:04:45,250
Is there a bottleneck somewhere?
125
00:04:45,250 --> 00:04:46,935
And I had never planned to do that,
126
00:04:46,935 --> 00:04:47,768
because it was like,
127
00:04:47,768 --> 00:04:48,960
well, yeah, just work less than that.
128
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:49,920
Why would you,
129
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,860
I hate, hate clocking my time.
130
00:04:51,860 --> 00:04:54,130
Hate it with a passion.
131
00:04:54,130 --> 00:04:56,620
And my second-in-command,
Alicia, was like,
132
00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:58,890
yeah, but I really think we should do it
133
00:04:58,890 --> 00:05:00,880
'cause I think a lot
of us might work more.
134
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,993
And I was like, oh, that's really fair.
135
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,273
- Yeah, I know that's something
136
00:05:06,273 --> 00:05:08,930
that I've always
struggled with personally,
137
00:05:08,930 --> 00:05:09,763
'cause I'm the same way.
138
00:05:09,763 --> 00:05:10,596
I don't wanna clock time.
139
00:05:10,596 --> 00:05:12,262
I don't care. If I give you work to do
140
00:05:12,262 --> 00:05:15,300
and the work gets done for
the week, then I don't care.
141
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:17,400
I don't care when you work.
Go do your kid's thing.
142
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,470
Go, whatever.
143
00:05:19,470 --> 00:05:21,420
And it's one thing I've learned.
144
00:05:21,420 --> 00:05:23,630
I have my second-in-command
at both of the companies.
145
00:05:23,630 --> 00:05:25,590
Like Ashley does a Spark Event
146
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:27,570
and Crystal does this ContentNinjas.
147
00:05:27,570 --> 00:05:32,060
And they tell me to be harder
than what I want to be.
148
00:05:32,060 --> 00:05:34,790
I think that speaks a lot
to hiring the right people.
149
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:37,750
Hiring, let's see what's
the term, intrapreneurs,
150
00:05:37,750 --> 00:05:38,583
I think is what
151
00:05:38,583 --> 00:05:39,416
people are calling them now.
- Yes, yes it is.
152
00:05:39,416 --> 00:05:41,340
- So they have entrepreneurial mindset,
153
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:44,010
but they don't want to run the thing.
154
00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:47,623
They will run a piece of
the thing and love that.
155
00:05:48,630 --> 00:05:49,550
So like you also said,
156
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:50,770
like your workforce is remote
157
00:05:50,770 --> 00:05:52,270
and they're being really like,
158
00:05:52,270 --> 00:05:54,040
you're being flexible
with their schedules.
159
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,900
And so how has that improved
things like employee retention,
160
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:58,787
employee satisfaction?
161
00:05:58,787 --> 00:06:00,740
Do you know anything
about how that's working?
162
00:06:00,740 --> 00:06:02,680
- Yeah, so I'll be really
interested to see this
163
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,610
in a few years from now.
164
00:06:03,610 --> 00:06:06,860
'Cause we've been doing this
for just shy of a year now.
165
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:11,150
And we have really high satisfaction.
166
00:06:11,150 --> 00:06:14,160
We do anonymous surveys
every month that get filtered
167
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,550
through someone else
before they come to me
168
00:06:15,550 --> 00:06:17,260
to make sure that like they're,
169
00:06:17,260 --> 00:06:18,660
'cause sometimes you can tell by writing,
170
00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:20,360
I wanna make sure that
they're a safe place
171
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,360
for people to actually give good feedback.
172
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,210
And we've made some
changes over the last three
173
00:06:26,210 --> 00:06:28,680
or four months as we've
brought more people on.
174
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,297
But one of the biggest things
that people were asking was,
175
00:06:32,297 --> 00:06:33,777
"Yeah, but if you have flexible schedules,
176
00:06:33,777 --> 00:06:36,270
"like who answers the office phone?"
177
00:06:36,270 --> 00:06:38,943
And we don't have an office phone.
178
00:06:40,050 --> 00:06:41,710
We don't do unscheduled calls.
179
00:06:41,710 --> 00:06:44,070
And it was really having,
180
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:45,760
I've worked in offices
where there is there's,
181
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,620
the main line, right?
182
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:49,480
Like you call in, you get
directed to who you need to go to.
183
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,020
And that feels very online
entrepreneurial of me
184
00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:53,420
to not have an office phone.
185
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:55,380
Like we all have our Google voice numbers.
186
00:06:55,380 --> 00:06:57,660
We all have email and
we all have Instagram
187
00:06:58,685 --> 00:06:59,518
and we all have TikToks.
188
00:06:59,518 --> 00:07:02,393
Like there's plenty of ways
to inquire and work with us.
189
00:07:03,750 --> 00:07:05,830
But not having a
traditional office setting,
190
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:08,490
not having set calls, not having set.
191
00:07:08,490 --> 00:07:10,140
We don't have like an all staff meeting
192
00:07:10,140 --> 00:07:11,970
that we do every Monday
morning or something
193
00:07:11,970 --> 00:07:14,740
because that's not something
that at this point in time,
194
00:07:14,740 --> 00:07:16,690
we have felt collectively that we need.
195
00:07:16,690 --> 00:07:18,860
We will meet as needed.
196
00:07:18,860 --> 00:07:22,750
Like we had an almost with
80% of us last week on a call
197
00:07:22,750 --> 00:07:26,320
for something that was relevant
to everyone that was there
198
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,250
versus it was twenty-five minutes.
199
00:07:29,250 --> 00:07:30,730
It was done, taken care of.
200
00:07:30,730 --> 00:07:31,563
We did the thing,
201
00:07:31,563 --> 00:07:32,396
We wrote the survey.
202
00:07:32,396 --> 00:07:33,820
We moved along.
203
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:35,560
And I think so many people.
204
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,910
Like I've done the meetings
about the meetings.
205
00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:40,030
I've done the meetings
that could be the email.
206
00:07:40,030 --> 00:07:45,030
I've done the, and you just
ended up feeling burnt out
207
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,820
and like worn down and just so over it.
208
00:07:50,820 --> 00:07:52,720
And so yeah, we keep all of our meetings
209
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,350
and our schedules mostly to ourselves
210
00:07:54,350 --> 00:07:56,380
and we all get to, we can
see everyone's calendar.
211
00:07:56,380 --> 00:07:59,150
So if we need to do something
or schedule something,
212
00:07:59,150 --> 00:08:01,257
it's like, "Hey, this day looks good.
213
00:08:01,257 --> 00:08:03,190
"Can we do this thing for 15 minutes?"
214
00:08:03,190 --> 00:08:06,273
And then like you loop in
who needs to be looped in.
215
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,480
- Well and it's funny because a lot
216
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,820
of the things you're doing, you see some
217
00:08:09,820 --> 00:08:12,430
of the biggest like Titans of
industry convincing you to do.
218
00:08:12,430 --> 00:08:14,470
Like when you have a
meeting, that's why stand-ups
219
00:08:14,470 --> 00:08:17,220
became common, to make it happen faster.
220
00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:19,780
I had somebody tell me
the other day, like guru,
221
00:08:19,780 --> 00:08:22,490
something that was like
change your calendar
222
00:08:22,490 --> 00:08:23,810
so you don't have hour long meetings.
223
00:08:23,810 --> 00:08:25,030
You have 50 minute meetings.
224
00:08:25,030 --> 00:08:27,850
You'd be surprised what just
making it 10 minutes shorter
225
00:08:27,850 --> 00:08:29,840
does to people's psyche so that they have
226
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,770
to get through it faster.
227
00:08:31,770 --> 00:08:33,930
If it's a 30 minute meeting,
make it a 25 minute meeting.
228
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:37,050
Like just coming, just
shy of that hour mark
229
00:08:37,050 --> 00:08:39,510
or that half hour mark
makes a huge difference.
230
00:08:39,510 --> 00:08:40,840
I do have a full phone system.
231
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,100
I have Dialpad.
232
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:44,370
But I'm gonna tell you, I set it up so
233
00:08:44,370 --> 00:08:46,960
that you can say who you wanna go to
234
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,280
and it goes to voicemail.
235
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,240
So I have a robot that answers the phone
236
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,380
during business hours and it takes you
237
00:08:54,380 --> 00:08:55,807
and it just says, "Hey,
person's on the other line
238
00:08:55,807 --> 00:08:56,640
"at the moment."
239
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,780
Takes you straight to, you're
never gonna get a human.
240
00:08:58,780 --> 00:09:00,020
You can call my phone all you want.
241
00:09:00,020 --> 00:09:02,030
You're never gonna get
a human answering it.
242
00:09:02,030 --> 00:09:03,907
It transcribes any voicemails.
243
00:09:03,907 --> 00:09:05,010
- Aw, bless.
244
00:09:05,010 --> 00:09:07,078
- So I don't even listen to the voicemails
245
00:09:07,078 --> 00:09:08,830
unless the AI murders it.
246
00:09:08,830 --> 00:09:10,278
And I'm like,
247
00:09:10,278 --> 00:09:12,640
"I don't think that's
what they said," you know?
248
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,400
And then I'll listen to the voicemail but.
249
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,290
Yeah, so, I mean, basically
they're sending me a voice tax.
250
00:09:16,290 --> 00:09:19,340
It's all my phone system does
is let you send me a voice
251
00:09:19,340 --> 00:09:22,340
text, but it works.
252
00:09:22,340 --> 00:09:23,400
People like it.
253
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,490
Google likes it 'cause they
can see a phone number.
254
00:09:25,490 --> 00:09:28,160
So it works without
having the phone system.
255
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,600
But yeah, same.
256
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,870
You just, you can't, you can't.
257
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:32,890
- I just don't feel the need to it.
258
00:09:32,890 --> 00:09:34,220
We don't work with the clientele.
259
00:09:34,220 --> 00:09:39,140
We work with primarily business
owners, but not exclusively.
260
00:09:39,140 --> 00:09:41,490
And a lot of them are
entrepreneurs themselves
261
00:09:41,490 --> 00:09:43,831
and most of them are not
wanting to do unscheduled calls.
262
00:09:43,831 --> 00:09:47,290
We have ways to reach out
to us in a timely manner.
263
00:09:47,290 --> 00:09:50,160
Like, do it and we have -
- That's like most
264
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,040
people figured out if they text me
265
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,690
or if they email me that I get it faster.
266
00:09:54,690 --> 00:09:56,610
It's like if they try and
call me and leave a voicemail,
267
00:09:56,610 --> 00:09:58,420
even I don't even get that as fast.
268
00:09:58,420 --> 00:09:59,870
But they can text the office line.
269
00:09:59,870 --> 00:10:00,703
Now that I do like
270
00:10:00,703 --> 00:10:02,600
'cause nobody has my personal cell.
271
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,310
They think they have my personal cell,
272
00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:06,370
but they don't have my personal cell.
273
00:10:06,370 --> 00:10:08,950
So I can tell dial pad to leave me alone.
274
00:10:08,950 --> 00:10:11,440
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I like Dialpad
275
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,190
'cause I can manage
everybody else's account.
276
00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:14,893
So that did give me an advantage.
277
00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:16,573
But yeah,
278
00:10:16,573 --> 00:10:19,823
that was why I did that was
it's like I wanted everybody
279
00:10:19,823 --> 00:10:20,720
to have the option to just,
I don't even want messages.
280
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,240
You can just turn off.
281
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,293
So I was like I love a lot of that.
282
00:10:26,653 --> 00:10:28,740
I think my video did a thing.
283
00:10:28,740 --> 00:10:31,960
- No I, yeah, that's
definitely no I'm here for it.
284
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,990
I love not having, I'm such,
285
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:37,460
I think being an introvert for me,
286
00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:41,500
unscheduled calls is one
of the worst stressors
287
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:42,960
that I deal with.
288
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,300
And so that has been so nice.
289
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:46,210
And that might be a Dialpad
may be a really good option
290
00:10:46,210 --> 00:10:47,140
for us going forward.
291
00:10:47,140 --> 00:10:48,173
But yeah, like just.
292
00:10:49,530 --> 00:10:51,340
I hated when the phone would ring.
293
00:10:51,340 --> 00:10:53,950
I would cringe so bad
when the phone would ring.
294
00:10:53,950 --> 00:10:56,800
That was why I hired my
first person, honestly.
295
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,457
Like when I hired Ashley, I was like,
296
00:10:58,457 --> 00:11:01,028
"I cannot ever answer the phone."
297
00:11:01,028 --> 00:11:01,861
- Yes.
298
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:03,050
- "I will not answer the phone."
299
00:11:03,050 --> 00:11:04,950
I'm like, "If you're afraid of
the phone we have a problem."
300
00:11:04,950 --> 00:11:06,790
Like I won't even make phone calls.
301
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:08,360
I don't want to be on the phone.
302
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,690
- Well and it pulls you out
of what you're doing too
303
00:11:10,690 --> 00:11:13,500
which makes me crazy from like
a productivity and like oh,
304
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:15,980
if I'm in the zone, I'm in the zone.
305
00:11:15,980 --> 00:11:18,110
Like I don't wanna be
sitting here taking a call.
306
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:20,200
I wanna be able to do the
thing and then absolutely.
307
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,430
I'm not gone for hours
and hours and hours.
308
00:11:22,430 --> 00:11:23,610
Like I will get back to you.
309
00:11:23,610 --> 00:11:26,550
But none of what we do is
life and death emergency.
310
00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:29,423
So like within a couple of
hours, totally reasonable.
311
00:11:30,510 --> 00:11:32,176
- Yeah and I mean, I think
that's something a lot
312
00:11:32,176 --> 00:11:34,390
of people really could learn too,
313
00:11:34,390 --> 00:11:37,620
is to just be a little bit
more aggressively protective
314
00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:38,453
of your time.
315
00:11:39,340 --> 00:11:41,430
I mean, I even went through
and made my Calendlys where my
316
00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:43,271
default meetings are two weeks out.
317
00:11:43,271 --> 00:11:45,230
- Yep.
- You cannot book me.
318
00:11:45,230 --> 00:11:47,000
I have some links I can send to people
319
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,700
if there is a situation
where they name me sooner,
320
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:50,080
where they can break into that.
321
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,930
But even that is 24 hours.
322
00:11:51,930 --> 00:11:54,550
You cannot, I need to know
when I wake up that morning,
323
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:55,830
this is who I'm talking to today
324
00:11:55,830 --> 00:11:57,350
and that doesn't need to change.
325
00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:58,190
It just messes with me.
326
00:11:58,190 --> 00:11:59,560
I can't do it.
327
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaking of all this,
there's a lot of freedom
328
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,450
and stuff in here.
329
00:12:02,450 --> 00:12:04,020
Do you have trouble finding employees?
330
00:12:04,020 --> 00:12:06,280
'Cause I know a lot of
people can't even imagine
331
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,140
with their current style
if they made the shift.
332
00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:13,147
- I am overwhelmed with job
applicants from that TikTok,
333
00:12:13,147 --> 00:12:15,597
but I was overwhelmed with
job applicants before.
334
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,610
We had over 1,000 people apply for jobs
335
00:12:18,610 --> 00:12:20,430
that we don't even have openings
for at this point in time.
336
00:12:20,430 --> 00:12:23,910
We're not actively hiring
right now. (laughing)
337
00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:25,980
It was just whether they're
the right people or not.
338
00:12:25,980 --> 00:12:27,070
I don't know.
339
00:12:27,070 --> 00:12:28,610
We'll be reaching out to that list first.
340
00:12:28,610 --> 00:12:32,903
But like we have, I'm not
gonna say I've stolen.
341
00:12:34,090 --> 00:12:36,290
I have wooed very easily.
342
00:12:36,290 --> 00:12:41,290
It has taken no effort to woo employees.
343
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,807
Most of them are like, "Pick
me, pick me, pick me, please.
344
00:12:43,807 --> 00:12:44,737
"I have all these things.
345
00:12:44,737 --> 00:12:46,137
"I will do all the things."
346
00:12:47,368 --> 00:12:48,900
And a lot of them like had multiple jobs
347
00:12:48,900 --> 00:12:50,530
and have been able to leave multiple jobs
348
00:12:50,530 --> 00:12:54,450
and they have this job
because they don't have to.
349
00:12:54,450 --> 00:12:56,710
Like Alicia still has
a photography business
350
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:57,990
because she really loves it.
351
00:12:57,990 --> 00:13:00,380
She does it part-time,
it's a passion of hers.
352
00:13:00,380 --> 00:13:02,010
She's not doing it because
she has to do it now.
353
00:13:02,010 --> 00:13:05,470
But she had three jobs before
and photography business
354
00:13:05,470 --> 00:13:08,180
and was still making less
than she's making now.
355
00:13:08,180 --> 00:13:09,380
Like that's embarrassing.
356
00:13:09,380 --> 00:13:12,350
Not for her, but for her employers.
357
00:13:12,350 --> 00:13:14,670
- Yeah.
- So yes, no,
358
00:13:14,670 --> 00:13:17,430
we don't have a problem finding people.
359
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:20,200
We have been really specific
with making sure we're bringing
360
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,830
on the right personality
fits not only with our team,
361
00:13:22,830 --> 00:13:25,250
but also, I mean with me
and with the way that,
362
00:13:25,250 --> 00:13:26,580
depending on who they interface with
363
00:13:26,580 --> 00:13:29,453
and with the way that they
work and structure their time.
364
00:13:30,380 --> 00:13:33,810
'Cause I think that's the
most important is you have
365
00:13:33,810 --> 00:13:35,063
to be willing.
366
00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:37,570
None of our employees are spoonfed.
367
00:13:37,570 --> 00:13:40,090
There's a difference in my
opinion, between, training
368
00:13:40,090 --> 00:13:41,980
and setting someone up for success
369
00:13:41,980 --> 00:13:43,707
and waking up every morning and saying,
370
00:13:43,707 --> 00:13:47,837
"Hey, so-and-so I need
you to do these 35 things
371
00:13:47,837 --> 00:13:50,990
"in exactly this order in this way."
372
00:13:50,990 --> 00:13:52,550
That's just, that's not how I work
373
00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:54,340
and that's not the right fit for someone,
374
00:13:54,340 --> 00:13:55,640
that might work in a different company
375
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,240
that had a similar work structure.
376
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,830
I don't see it working that way as much
377
00:13:58,830 --> 00:13:59,730
because I think there'd be a lot
378
00:13:59,730 --> 00:14:01,723
of wasted hours and management.
379
00:14:02,650 --> 00:14:03,483
- Yeah, definitely.
380
00:14:03,483 --> 00:14:05,630
I mean, I think that's kinda the challenge
381
00:14:05,630 --> 00:14:07,670
with that right is you have
to hire the right people.
382
00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:10,209
You do have to put a little
bit more effort into fit
383
00:14:10,209 --> 00:14:13,270
and finding people that aren't
gonna take advantage of you.
384
00:14:13,270 --> 00:14:15,290
I think that's one thing
like people that I've talked
385
00:14:15,290 --> 00:14:18,100
to that are afraid of
deviating from the 40 hour week
386
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:19,720
or letting their employees work remote,
387
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,450
like I've seen so many videos
where people are literally
388
00:14:22,450 --> 00:14:25,700
being micromanaged to the
point that their mouse movement
389
00:14:26,750 --> 00:14:27,693
is what says if they're on the clock
390
00:14:27,693 --> 00:14:29,755
and people are hacking that.
391
00:14:29,755 --> 00:14:34,260
Yeah, I saw one that they
put their mouse on the Roomba
392
00:14:34,260 --> 00:14:35,290
and was letting it go around the room.
393
00:14:35,290 --> 00:14:37,410
Another one, they like
attached it to a fan
394
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:41,610
and a stick so that the
fan going was moving them.
395
00:14:41,610 --> 00:14:44,040
It's like, if you have to do that to prove
396
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,610
to your employer that-
- You're hiring the
397
00:14:45,610 --> 00:14:47,370
wrong people and you're yeah.
398
00:14:47,370 --> 00:14:49,770
And you're at the wrong
place, yeah, no there's.
399
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:52,980
I bring on people because I trust you.
400
00:14:52,980 --> 00:14:55,510
Like we said, I trust you to do the job.
401
00:14:55,510 --> 00:14:57,770
If I trust you to do the
job I trust you to be.
402
00:14:57,770 --> 00:15:01,500
And we work really closely
when we're training employees,
403
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:03,280
to make sure that they're feeling.
404
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,260
'Cause it is, it's a
different environment, right.
405
00:15:05,260 --> 00:15:08,527
A lot of it has been like a
brain shift where they're now
406
00:15:08,527 --> 00:15:10,597
"How can I do this so I'm efficient
407
00:15:10,597 --> 00:15:13,410
"and then it frees up the rest of my day?"
408
00:15:13,410 --> 00:15:16,370
And that sometimes can take
a little bit of coaxing.
409
00:15:16,370 --> 00:15:17,720
To be like, "No, it's okay.
410
00:15:18,977 --> 00:15:20,070
"Get, get out, go."
411
00:15:20,070 --> 00:15:22,280
Like you've done the things for the day.
412
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,540
Go live your life and like be
happy or take that Friday off.
413
00:15:25,540 --> 00:15:26,373
We don't care.
414
00:15:26,373 --> 00:15:27,710
Take the Wednesday off
in the middle of the week
415
00:15:27,710 --> 00:15:29,790
'cause you have things to do like.
416
00:15:29,790 --> 00:15:31,340
- Yeah, I'm there.
417
00:15:31,340 --> 00:15:33,137
Crystal's still kind
of getting used to it.
418
00:15:33,137 --> 00:15:35,830
And I think she's worked
with me for a year now.
419
00:15:35,830 --> 00:15:38,530
And she's like, "I'm not gonna
be available this afternoon."
420
00:15:38,530 --> 00:15:40,707
I'm like, "Okay, I won't even
remember that you told me
421
00:15:40,707 --> 00:15:43,590
"that probably 'cause that's
just how irrelevant it is."
422
00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:45,455
She's like, "And I'll probably take a day
423
00:15:45,455 --> 00:15:46,384
"or two off in a couple of weeks."
424
00:15:46,384 --> 00:15:47,217
It's like.
- "Okay."
425
00:15:47,217 --> 00:15:49,490
- "Okay."
- "Have fun, enjoy."
426
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:51,150
- All right, that's it.
427
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:52,640
It's you have Slack.
428
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,480
If there's an emergency,
I'll get a hold of you.
429
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,470
But like it'll be all right.
430
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:58,560
Like things can wait a day or two.
431
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,280
Like how has all this affected
like your relationship
432
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,000
with your clients? 'Cause I
know that's another fear a lot
433
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,800
of business owners have if
they're considering something
434
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,117
like this is well "Clients
aren't gonna like it
435
00:16:07,117 --> 00:16:09,387
"if they can't reach somebody
or it's taking too long
436
00:16:09,387 --> 00:16:10,900
"to get their work done."
437
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:12,350
Or like how is that?
438
00:16:12,350 --> 00:16:13,330
- Expectation setting.
439
00:16:13,330 --> 00:16:17,650
So when it was just primarily
myself and a few contractors
440
00:16:17,650 --> 00:16:20,890
for team members, we were
really clear with clients.
441
00:16:20,890 --> 00:16:21,723
There's a certain level of client
442
00:16:21,723 --> 00:16:23,960
that gets a quicker guaranteed response.
443
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,090
And keep in mind, we are
normally responding daily,
444
00:16:27,090 --> 00:16:29,630
if not like every couple
of hours to clients.
445
00:16:29,630 --> 00:16:32,650
Going through emails,
boxers, other communications,
446
00:16:32,650 --> 00:16:34,380
depending on what we
have set up with them.
447
00:16:34,380 --> 00:16:36,960
And, but we set the expectation
448
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,560
that there's a 72 hour
return time for things.
449
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,050
What we do is not life or death.
450
00:16:44,050 --> 00:16:46,310
We're doing bookkeeping,
we're doing their accounting,
451
00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:47,960
we're doing their tax planning.
452
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,640
We're doing things that
yes have deadlines,
453
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,870
but we're not working up to
the wire on those deadlines.
454
00:16:53,870 --> 00:16:56,600
We've set those expectations
from the get-go.
455
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,850
This is the timeframe.
456
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,230
We build buffer into
everything that we do.
457
00:17:00,230 --> 00:17:03,040
And then we also always have
someone that they can get ahold
458
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,870
of via group chats and
a group email inbox.
459
00:17:06,870 --> 00:17:09,070
So if it is urgent, we let them know.
460
00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:12,040
We empower them basically to take charge,
461
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,080
copy that person that
you normally work with.
462
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,913
And then copy this group email.
463
00:17:17,470 --> 00:17:19,320
And we've not had any
issues with it, but we do.
464
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,530
We work with a lot of business owners.
465
00:17:20,530 --> 00:17:22,750
We work with a lot of millennials, gen Z,
466
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:24,870
people that are, I think, understanding
467
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:29,870
and very supportive of us
actually A paying livable wages
468
00:17:29,980 --> 00:17:34,700
and B having jobs that
support lifestyles instead
469
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:37,053
of having to have jobs to live.
470
00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:39,160
- Have you ever had any clients
471
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,473
that are completely put off by that?
472
00:17:40,473 --> 00:17:42,170
When you tell them this is our culture
473
00:17:42,170 --> 00:17:44,800
and they're like, "No, I
don't wanna work with you."
474
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,443
- No, actually.
475
00:17:47,730 --> 00:17:49,160
I had to think about it for a minute.
476
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,440
Well, years ago, years
ago when it was just me.
477
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,610
Yes, and those are clients
that whether they were,
478
00:17:55,610 --> 00:17:57,620
we could totally do the job.
479
00:17:57,620 --> 00:17:58,453
I could do the job.
480
00:17:58,453 --> 00:18:01,010
I don't know why it
wasn't a we at the time,
481
00:18:01,010 --> 00:18:02,230
but I wasn't willing to do that.
482
00:18:02,230 --> 00:18:04,830
And so I politely let them know
that we're not like I'm not
483
00:18:04,830 --> 00:18:06,090
the right fit for you.
484
00:18:06,090 --> 00:18:07,600
Go find someone that
you're able to do that
485
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,170
because you're not gonna text me.
486
00:18:09,170 --> 00:18:10,870
You're not, like there is no,
487
00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:13,360
we have lines of communication
where we can go check this,
488
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:16,030
but you are not calling me on
a Sunday morning at 5:00 AM
489
00:18:16,030 --> 00:18:18,620
because you got a tax
notice in the mail yesterday
490
00:18:18,620 --> 00:18:22,040
that we can't do anything
about until Monday anyways.
491
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:22,873
- I love that.
492
00:18:22,873 --> 00:18:25,040
I love like you're getting
so many things right.
493
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,798
That I don't think you even fully realize
494
00:18:26,798 --> 00:18:28,410
that you're getting right.
495
00:18:28,410 --> 00:18:30,020
Like I'm talking to people
that have been in business.
496
00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:32,340
I'm still learning some of
this myself to be honest.
497
00:18:32,340 --> 00:18:33,290
But I've talked to people that have been
498
00:18:33,290 --> 00:18:36,090
in business for 15, 20 years
and they're still learning
499
00:18:36,090 --> 00:18:37,713
that they can say no to clients.
500
00:18:39,001 --> 00:18:41,720
And it's like that is
just a phenomenal thing.
501
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,160
I learned it a few years back.
502
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,480
I literally, it's probably
way too long ago now.
503
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,750
Seven, eight years ago.
504
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:50,783
I fired something like 32 clients.
505
00:18:51,810 --> 00:18:53,790
And what immediately
happened on the backend
506
00:18:53,790 --> 00:18:56,083
of that is everybody on my team was happy.
507
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,540
They were excited because
we got rid of everybody
508
00:18:59,540 --> 00:19:00,568
that was toxic.
509
00:19:00,568 --> 00:19:01,519
- Yes.
510
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:02,670
- Toxic to us.
511
00:19:02,670 --> 00:19:04,090
It doesn't mean they were bad people.
512
00:19:04,090 --> 00:19:05,680
It doesn't mean they were bad clients.
513
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:06,920
Toxic to us.
514
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,000
And it was like everybody
was just so excited.
515
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,110
And that's still,
516
00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:13,940
every time I've let an employee
fire their first client.
517
00:19:13,940 --> 00:19:15,987
They're just like, "Really, I can?
518
00:19:15,987 --> 00:19:17,657
"I don't have to work with them?"
519
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:18,807
"Yes it's okay.
520
00:19:18,807 --> 00:19:22,780
"If they're causing you that
much grief, yeet them out."
521
00:19:22,780 --> 00:19:26,670
- Yeah, yeet them, yeet them to the curb.
522
00:19:26,670 --> 00:19:28,347
No, we had that conversation
523
00:19:28,347 --> 00:19:31,305
and we also had conversations
like Alicia the other day.
524
00:19:31,305 --> 00:19:33,770
'Cause we had a lot of
influx in sales calls, right.
525
00:19:33,770 --> 00:19:36,860
And she's handling our
sales calls from going viral
526
00:19:36,860 --> 00:19:38,380
and everything else to the point where
527
00:19:38,380 --> 00:19:40,400
like she had 40 calls.
528
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,290
She still had her Calendly
open for as many occurrences
529
00:19:45,290 --> 00:19:48,060
within her open window as possible.
530
00:19:48,060 --> 00:19:48,943
She only had a couple days a week.
531
00:19:48,943 --> 00:19:50,693
And she was expressing
that she was really kind
532
00:19:50,693 --> 00:19:52,790
of feeling a little bit
exhausted from that.
533
00:19:52,790 --> 00:19:55,637
I was like, "Absolutely, I see that."
534
00:19:55,637 --> 00:19:57,097
"I can help take some.
535
00:19:57,097 --> 00:19:58,327
"We can schedule some out.
536
00:19:58,327 --> 00:19:59,630
"But like right now,
537
00:19:59,630 --> 00:20:02,807
why don't we go pick a
day and you set a limit.
538
00:20:02,807 --> 00:20:04,637
"And that is the day
that you do those calls."
539
00:20:04,637 --> 00:20:07,090
And she was like, "I can do that?"
540
00:20:07,090 --> 00:20:11,230
Yes, we are flush.
541
00:20:11,230 --> 00:20:12,620
Like we are okay.
542
00:20:12,620 --> 00:20:15,210
We also don't take on shitty clients.
543
00:20:15,210 --> 00:20:17,660
We, obviously every once in
a great while we'll find one
544
00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:20,340
that's not aligned or that we
change or their goals change.
545
00:20:20,340 --> 00:20:22,290
But it's really few and far between
546
00:20:22,290 --> 00:20:24,480
because we've gotten really
good at vetting people
547
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,740
that we like.
548
00:20:25,740 --> 00:20:29,210
And we work with people 99%
of the time that we're like
549
00:20:29,210 --> 00:20:31,307
we'd wanna be friends with outside of,
550
00:20:31,307 --> 00:20:33,620
and some of them have become friends.
551
00:20:33,620 --> 00:20:35,000
But being able to say
552
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,830
we'll normally have that
conversation where I'll tell Alicia
553
00:20:37,830 --> 00:20:40,317
or someone on team, I'm like, "I'm done.
554
00:20:40,317 --> 00:20:42,267
"I have washed my hands.
555
00:20:42,267 --> 00:20:44,787
"I am not a good personality
fit with this client.
556
00:20:44,787 --> 00:20:47,507
"If you want to pursue this relationship
557
00:20:47,507 --> 00:20:49,690
"and see if it's
salvageable by all means."
558
00:20:49,690 --> 00:20:51,767
Which again has happened literally twice.
559
00:20:51,767 --> 00:20:53,877
"But if not like you have my blessing,
560
00:20:53,877 --> 00:20:55,703
"I will let them go or you can let them go
561
00:20:55,703 --> 00:20:56,987
"and this is fine."
562
00:20:58,870 --> 00:21:00,050
Like yeah, you have a say.
563
00:21:00,050 --> 00:21:01,210
- They're just amazed by that.
564
00:21:01,210 --> 00:21:03,503
But it's like the thing we don't
think about a lot of times,
565
00:21:03,503 --> 00:21:06,610
I think business owners and
even employees, is that you're
566
00:21:06,610 --> 00:21:08,620
doing that person a
favor by letting them go.
567
00:21:08,620 --> 00:21:09,453
- Yes.
568
00:21:09,453 --> 00:21:11,030
- Because if they're not a fit with you,
569
00:21:11,030 --> 00:21:13,800
that means they're wasting time with you.
570
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,210
They need to go find
the person who is a fit.
571
00:21:16,210 --> 00:21:19,260
That person is gonna give
them above and beyond,
572
00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:20,280
they're gonna enjoy the relationship
573
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,740
and have a great time.
574
00:21:21,740 --> 00:21:25,010
Whereas if we keep working
with them, it's just like,
575
00:21:25,010 --> 00:21:26,420
this is torture for everybody.
576
00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:28,224
We hate talking to you,
they hate talking to us
577
00:21:28,224 --> 00:21:29,930
and it's just this is just not working.
578
00:21:29,930 --> 00:21:33,293
- And that's why we also,
we don't hard sell ever.
579
00:21:33,293 --> 00:21:36,790
That's not my selling strategy.
580
00:21:36,790 --> 00:21:37,830
We are here.
581
00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:41,130
We have a conversation and we
see if we have aligned goals
582
00:21:41,130 --> 00:21:42,867
and we're like, "Yeah,
we can do this thing.
583
00:21:42,867 --> 00:21:43,977
"This is what the thing costs.
584
00:21:43,977 --> 00:21:45,867
"And this is what working
with us looks like.
585
00:21:45,867 --> 00:21:47,567
"I think that the thing would benefit you,
586
00:21:47,567 --> 00:21:49,170
"but this is your call."
587
00:21:49,170 --> 00:21:51,487
And we're not here saying, "Oh,
you need to have this thing
588
00:21:51,487 --> 00:21:55,960
"or you're gonna, burn
and have tax fraud."
589
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,080
And we're not here to fear monger
590
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,290
and we're not here to push
people into working with us
591
00:22:00,290 --> 00:22:02,570
or convince them because if
you don't want to work with us
592
00:22:02,570 --> 00:22:03,850
and you're not sure.
593
00:22:03,850 --> 00:22:05,990
You might be sure in three
years when you've had a time
594
00:22:05,990 --> 00:22:08,900
to kind of chill or you
may never be a good fit,
595
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:09,943
but that's fine.
596
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,633
You can do that.
597
00:22:11,633 --> 00:22:13,430
And you may find someone
else that's way more aligned
598
00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:14,330
for you in the meantime.
599
00:22:14,330 --> 00:22:17,440
Like have at it, we're happy for you.
600
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,830
- There are so many nuggets
that have happened on this call.
601
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:22,090
Like I hope all of our listeners
are just replaying this
602
00:22:22,090 --> 00:22:23,570
and hearing it again and again and again.
603
00:22:23,570 --> 00:22:26,040
'Cause like I said, I don't,
maybe you probably really don't
604
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,970
even hear it, all this
stuff that you're doing.
605
00:22:28,970 --> 00:22:31,360
Yeah, but I mean, these are
things like there are experts
606
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:33,050
and gurus standing on stages,
607
00:22:33,050 --> 00:22:35,070
pounding this into people's heads
608
00:22:35,070 --> 00:22:36,540
that you can say no to clients.
609
00:22:36,540 --> 00:22:38,330
You'd have better onboarding processes
610
00:22:38,330 --> 00:22:39,230
to vet the right clients.
611
00:22:39,230 --> 00:22:40,890
You'd have better hiring processes
612
00:22:40,890 --> 00:22:42,040
to find the right employees.
613
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,940
Like you need to get people
aligned with your company goals
614
00:22:44,940 --> 00:22:45,950
and your vision.
615
00:22:45,950 --> 00:22:48,610
There are people making absurd
amounts of money every year,
616
00:22:48,610 --> 00:22:50,460
trying to beat this into people's heads.
617
00:22:50,460 --> 00:22:54,120
People paying absurds amounts
of money to get this knowledge
618
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:56,190
that you have literally
downloaded into their brains
619
00:22:56,190 --> 00:22:57,210
in the last 20 minutes.
620
00:22:57,210 --> 00:23:00,240
Like powerful stuff.
621
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,150
And I mean like I've just
been studying business
622
00:23:02,150 --> 00:23:03,510
for so many years, so I've heard it
623
00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:05,160
and seen it and I've seen it a bunch.
624
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,223
But like you're just doing it.
625
00:23:07,223 --> 00:23:08,160
You just have a super powerful.
626
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,140
- I think that there's so
much to be said for unpacking.
627
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:13,720
I mean, I, over the last
few years, have been going
628
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,030
to therapy and like doing
work on myself as well,
629
00:23:16,030 --> 00:23:18,070
personally and professionally.
630
00:23:18,070 --> 00:23:21,560
And I think a lot of
that, I mean, who says,
631
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,110
which came first chicken or egg,
632
00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:26,040
but so much of that dovetails
with my professional
633
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,150
and my business career.
634
00:23:27,150 --> 00:23:30,860
And like taking the time to
question is this serving me?
635
00:23:30,860 --> 00:23:33,870
But is this serving me across the board?
636
00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:35,930
Is this serving our
clients, our employees,
637
00:23:35,930 --> 00:23:37,160
our business, our lifestyle?
638
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,440
Like my personal health,
639
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:39,960
my relationship, my mental health.
640
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,510
Like there are so many things.
641
00:23:42,510 --> 00:23:45,430
I think my biggest takeaway
would be like question it.
642
00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:47,000
And not questioning it in like,
643
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,650
I'm not negative or pessimistic.
644
00:23:49,650 --> 00:23:53,290
But like have you been
taught this for years?
645
00:23:53,290 --> 00:23:56,680
And is this what you think
you're supposed to be doing?
646
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,540
Great.
647
00:23:57,540 --> 00:23:59,090
Is that what you should be doing?
648
00:23:59,090 --> 00:24:01,290
Is it the best fit?
649
00:24:01,290 --> 00:24:02,123
May not be.
650
00:24:03,420 --> 00:24:05,020
- I mean, it's like I
tell people all the time,
651
00:24:05,020 --> 00:24:06,640
like if you wanna be happy and successful,
652
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,940
it's three things.
653
00:24:07,940 --> 00:24:09,870
It's know your super power,
what you're really good at.
654
00:24:09,870 --> 00:24:11,730
Know the people that you
wanna spend your days with.
655
00:24:11,730 --> 00:24:13,750
You spent all day every
day with those people.
656
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:14,583
Who would they be?
657
00:24:14,583 --> 00:24:15,650
Who would make you happy?
658
00:24:15,650 --> 00:24:18,373
Then, only then go invent the service.
659
00:24:19,450 --> 00:24:21,370
It may be something that's a spinoff
660
00:24:21,370 --> 00:24:22,840
of something that already exists.
661
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,130
It may be, whatever,
662
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:27,120
but like don't get in this box of just
663
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:28,840
because this is how it's always been sold.
664
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,550
This is how, this is the
service you've always delivered
665
00:24:31,550 --> 00:24:33,549
that it has to be delivered that way.
666
00:24:33,549 --> 00:24:34,520
- Yeah.
667
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,160
- If it's, if you're
using your super power,
668
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,650
if you're working with
the people that you like,
669
00:24:37,650 --> 00:24:41,200
if you're happy with what's
going on, invent something.
670
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,350
Ever since I embraced
that, it's just been,
671
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:46,750
I embraced that probably about
two and a half years ago.
672
00:24:46,750 --> 00:24:49,910
Shut down the physical office,
took everybody fully remote.
673
00:24:49,910 --> 00:24:51,420
And I was like, this is just like
674
00:24:51,420 --> 00:24:53,630
I'm putting so much energy,
675
00:24:53,630 --> 00:24:55,690
so many mental calories as we put it,
676
00:24:55,690 --> 00:24:57,130
into maintaining a physical office
677
00:24:57,130 --> 00:24:59,130
and maintaining a house.
678
00:24:59,130 --> 00:25:00,740
You know, 'cause I had two little kids
679
00:25:00,740 --> 00:25:03,920
and my dad moved in with
me and I had my husband,
680
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:04,897
it was just like (imitates gagging).
681
00:25:04,897 --> 00:25:07,650
Had a bunch of pats, too many pets.
682
00:25:07,650 --> 00:25:11,290
And it's like all the energy
to keeping an office clean
683
00:25:11,290 --> 00:25:14,890
and house clean and I'm
doubling my mental calorie load
684
00:25:14,890 --> 00:25:17,920
for the day on just grocery shopping
685
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,357
and it just, it wasn't worth it, you know.
686
00:25:20,357 --> 00:25:22,420
And so you should really have
to think about what you want.
687
00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:25,570
So there've been so many,
so many good things.
688
00:25:25,570 --> 00:25:26,860
Like why do you think people
689
00:25:26,860 --> 00:25:28,770
in the U.S. especially are struggling?
690
00:25:28,770 --> 00:25:30,140
Like I know other countries have already
691
00:25:30,140 --> 00:25:31,200
gotten better about this.
692
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,860
Why do you think we're
struggling so hard with
693
00:25:32,860 --> 00:25:33,930
this in the U.S.?
694
00:25:33,930 --> 00:25:35,610
To normalize this?
695
00:25:35,610 --> 00:25:39,650
- I, oof, oof.
- Big question.
696
00:25:39,650 --> 00:25:44,650
- Yes, yes and I'm trying to
give the most neutral answer
697
00:25:44,820 --> 00:25:46,513
while still being valid.
698
00:25:48,469 --> 00:25:50,731
I think a lot of it has
to do with the expectation
699
00:25:50,731 --> 00:25:53,730
that is set, that if you
work hard enough in America,
700
00:25:53,730 --> 00:25:55,680
you can have the American dream, right.
701
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,970
So I think A there's a little bit of that.
702
00:25:57,970 --> 00:25:59,270
Where you just put in the hours.
703
00:25:59,270 --> 00:26:01,270
Everyone loves the rags to riches.
704
00:26:01,270 --> 00:26:04,660
You started as an immigrant
son and you did this thing.
705
00:26:04,660 --> 00:26:07,140
You're now a multimillionaire
or a billionaire.
706
00:26:07,140 --> 00:26:08,600
- Worked 80 hours, slept on the floor.
707
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,370
- Yes, yes, had 17 roommates.
708
00:26:11,370 --> 00:26:13,350
Whereas now that's kind of a
necessity if you wanna live
709
00:26:13,350 --> 00:26:15,000
in New York and like do anything.
710
00:26:16,130 --> 00:26:19,350
So I think that that's
part of it, is we've been,
711
00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:22,640
it's been ingrained in us that
if you just work hard enough,
712
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:23,950
you'll get ahead.
713
00:26:23,950 --> 00:26:28,950
And I also think that we have
been, that fosters being busy.
714
00:26:30,030 --> 00:26:34,010
Fosters increased
purchases for convenience.
715
00:26:34,010 --> 00:26:35,830
When you have increased
purchases for convenience,
716
00:26:35,830 --> 00:26:37,400
because you don't have time
717
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,700
and you have a little bit more
money, then you buy things.
718
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:42,080
And then when you buy things
719
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,310
and I'm not saying the
buying things are bad.
720
00:26:43,310 --> 00:26:44,670
I love what I live.
721
00:26:44,670 --> 00:26:46,070
I love my things that I have,
722
00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:49,140
but consuming consciously I
think is really different.
723
00:26:49,140 --> 00:26:52,700
And so with that, we end up expecting
724
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:55,150
things a little bit more instantaneously.
725
00:26:55,150 --> 00:26:57,420
We have Amazon, we have same-day delivery,
726
00:26:57,420 --> 00:26:58,980
we have next day delivery.
727
00:26:58,980 --> 00:27:02,210
We expect to be able to
go to a grocery store
728
00:27:02,210 --> 00:27:06,453
and it be open, within reason
til 8, 9, 10 o'clock at night.
729
00:27:07,950 --> 00:27:09,850
I go to Iceland and
Europe really regularly.
730
00:27:09,850 --> 00:27:12,590
And I go, and the grocery
stores close at six or seven.
731
00:27:12,590 --> 00:27:13,830
Like if you don't have your shit
732
00:27:13,830 --> 00:27:15,240
and you haven't planned
ahead for the next day,
733
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,050
they don't open until 10 or 11.
734
00:27:17,050 --> 00:27:18,710
And by shortening their hours
735
00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:23,660
and setting expectations so
that if you're there you know.
736
00:27:23,660 --> 00:27:26,530
There's no need for those
grocery stores to be open.
737
00:27:26,530 --> 00:27:29,340
Then they can have one shift that works.
738
00:27:29,340 --> 00:27:30,173
They're done.
739
00:27:30,173 --> 00:27:31,006
They go home.
740
00:27:31,006 --> 00:27:31,839
There's more family time.
741
00:27:31,839 --> 00:27:32,750
They can pay wages.
742
00:27:32,750 --> 00:27:35,050
People's grocery shopping
hours are shortened.
743
00:27:35,980 --> 00:27:36,813
Why?
744
00:27:36,813 --> 00:27:38,810
Outside of the instantaneous
convenience factor
745
00:27:38,810 --> 00:27:40,720
because of time crunch.
746
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,610
So that's my various sort of
it all connects in a circle.
747
00:27:44,610 --> 00:27:47,040
But I think that that
has a lot to do with it.
748
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:47,927
- Now, I thought that was really good.
749
00:27:47,927 --> 00:27:49,900
I know I saw that when
you answered that question
750
00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:50,733
on a TikTok,
751
00:27:50,733 --> 00:27:52,510
which is why I wanted to make
sure that I asked it today,
752
00:27:52,510 --> 00:27:56,540
because I hadn't really thought
about the consumption side
753
00:27:56,540 --> 00:27:58,310
of it and yeah there are some purchases,
754
00:27:58,310 --> 00:28:00,320
some convenience purchases
that they're great.
755
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,153
They're good.
756
00:28:01,153 --> 00:28:01,986
I love them.
757
00:28:01,986 --> 00:28:02,870
They're fine.
758
00:28:02,870 --> 00:28:06,520
But there's other ones that you kinda know
759
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,410
you're doing the wrong thing.
760
00:28:08,410 --> 00:28:12,050
No, I don't need to eat fast
food five nights in a row.
761
00:28:12,050 --> 00:28:13,280
But you do it because you're busy
762
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,215
because you don't have choices.
763
00:28:14,215 --> 00:28:17,360
And it's more expensive a lot
of times than cooking at home.
764
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,480
I have six people in my house.
765
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,490
If we wanna go get Burger
King, it gets pricey.
766
00:28:22,490 --> 00:28:23,323
It adds up.
767
00:28:23,323 --> 00:28:24,880
Like I could cook a good meal
768
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:25,949
at home for a third of the price.
769
00:28:25,949 --> 00:28:28,113
- Oh yeah.
- But because I'm busy,
770
00:28:28,113 --> 00:28:30,420
it's like (groaning).
771
00:28:30,420 --> 00:28:31,480
I taught my kids to cook.
772
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,010
So my kids are making dinner more now,
773
00:28:33,010 --> 00:28:34,130
so we can balance it out.
774
00:28:34,130 --> 00:28:37,010
- Yeah, it's a good life skill to have.
775
00:28:37,010 --> 00:28:39,740
- It is, it is so sharing
those duties has helped.
776
00:28:39,740 --> 00:28:43,193
But before that, before, I put
that time into teaching them.
777
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,650
I mean, we were eating out a lot.
778
00:28:46,650 --> 00:28:48,840
I think my only saving grace was
779
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,830
that when we bought this
house a couple of years ago,
780
00:28:50,830 --> 00:28:54,030
there's only like two places
that will deliver here.
781
00:28:54,030 --> 00:28:55,170
So that's the only thing that saved me.
782
00:28:55,170 --> 00:28:56,810
And they're both pizza.
783
00:28:56,810 --> 00:28:58,380
They have pasta, they have sandwiches.
784
00:28:58,380 --> 00:29:00,030
So it's like one that let's do pizza.
785
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:01,300
The next night let's do pasta.
786
00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:02,910
The next night let's do sandwiches.
787
00:29:02,910 --> 00:29:06,530
- And we live 40 miles from
town now where we live.
788
00:29:06,530 --> 00:29:08,026
And so there is no.
789
00:29:08,026 --> 00:29:11,273
We're 45 minute to an
hour drive to anywhere.
790
00:29:12,570 --> 00:29:14,920
We buy a few convenience
foods that like freeze,
791
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,120
but that's really like nipped
any sort of ordering habit.
792
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,510
But we have a housekeeper.
793
00:29:20,510 --> 00:29:23,270
I love having someone come and help.
794
00:29:23,270 --> 00:29:26,290
Like that for me is such a good,
it's not even a time thing.
795
00:29:26,290 --> 00:29:27,623
It's then like an I don't like doing this.
796
00:29:27,623 --> 00:29:29,570
- It's the mental calorie thing.
797
00:29:29,570 --> 00:29:31,930
- Yes and it's done, it's deep cleaned.
798
00:29:31,930 --> 00:29:32,960
I don't have to worry about it.
799
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,920
Like we do the maintenance, no big deal.
800
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,010
But that's more of
that's a conscious choice
801
00:29:37,010 --> 00:29:39,100
that I've made rather
than having to make it
802
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:41,230
because I'm literally strapped for time
803
00:29:41,230 --> 00:29:44,850
because I'm working 70 hour
weeks and my house is trashed.
804
00:29:44,850 --> 00:29:47,260
- Yep and that's the same
thing that like we figured
805
00:29:47,260 --> 00:29:49,110
out even around my house was even
806
00:29:49,110 --> 00:29:51,130
with like chore assignments and things,
807
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:52,230
if you can find the things
808
00:29:52,230 --> 00:29:54,780
that are less mental calorie
tasks for someone else.
809
00:29:54,780 --> 00:29:56,530
- And shuffle accordingly.
810
00:29:56,530 --> 00:29:58,900
- Yeah 'cause some people will
look at a sink full of dishes
811
00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:03,580
and go, "Oh my God, that's
like 500 mental calories."
812
00:30:03,580 --> 00:30:06,120
Someone else will look at
the same pile of dishes
813
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,510
and be "I can do that in 10 minutes."
814
00:30:07,510 --> 00:30:08,564
It's like a hundred mental calories.
815
00:30:08,564 --> 00:30:09,510
- Yeah.
816
00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:12,580
- So it's you just give the
task to the right person.
817
00:30:12,580 --> 00:30:15,750
And now everybody's week
got a lot less stressful.
818
00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:18,450
So it's like we have family
staff meetings once a week just
819
00:30:18,450 --> 00:30:20,840
to assign chores and pick meals.
820
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,170
And I implemented processes and systems
821
00:30:23,170 --> 00:30:24,170
for meal planning in my house.
822
00:30:24,170 --> 00:30:27,320
I applied business to
my house and it works.
823
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,770
Like I even have so we can
choose what we're gonna eat.
824
00:30:30,770 --> 00:30:32,840
I have index cards, like a stack of them.
825
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,460
I have recipes with the name
of the recipe on the front
826
00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:36,820
and the actual recipe on the back.
827
00:30:36,820 --> 00:30:39,330
And we just go through and
pull out seven of them,
828
00:30:39,330 --> 00:30:40,920
put them on the magnets on the fridge
829
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,090
and there's meal planning for the week.
830
00:30:42,090 --> 00:30:42,923
We know right.
831
00:30:42,923 --> 00:30:44,150
'Cause it reduced the mental calories.
832
00:30:44,150 --> 00:30:48,170
- Yeah, I'm starting that
too, yeah. (laughing)
833
00:30:48,170 --> 00:30:49,550
- We did that for chores.
834
00:30:49,550 --> 00:30:50,580
And we did that.
835
00:30:50,580 --> 00:30:54,660
I got the file magnets, the
ones that go in file cabinets?
836
00:30:54,660 --> 00:30:55,750
They're just kinda small.
837
00:30:55,750 --> 00:30:57,580
I have those for chores.
838
00:30:57,580 --> 00:30:59,190
And I just literally
put a grid on the side
839
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:00,450
of my fridge for every person.
840
00:31:00,450 --> 00:31:02,713
And I have a cheat sheet of everything
841
00:31:02,713 --> 00:31:03,546
that has to be done every week,
842
00:31:03,546 --> 00:31:04,379
everything has to be done once a month.
843
00:31:04,379 --> 00:31:06,000
Things like that get
done a couple of times
844
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:06,833
throughout the year.
845
00:31:06,833 --> 00:31:08,210
I have these broke down.
846
00:31:08,210 --> 00:31:09,943
So every week it's like, "Go look at that.
847
00:31:09,943 --> 00:31:13,327
"Everybody go pick your
tasks, put them on your thing,
848
00:31:13,327 --> 00:31:14,160
"call it a day."
849
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,150
Like it reduced mental
calories for chores.
850
00:31:17,150 --> 00:31:19,160
Crazy stupid stuff. I know that
was like, I think I got off
851
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,500
in left field on that a little bit.
852
00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:21,940
- No, I think it's so valid though.
853
00:31:21,940 --> 00:31:23,620
I think so much of what we do personally
854
00:31:23,620 --> 00:31:25,480
and professionally like
bleed into one another.
855
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,670
And there was a lot of
takeaways from both.
856
00:31:27,670 --> 00:31:29,680
I don't know why, I mean, I know why,
857
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,410
because we've had corporate
and we've had personal life,
858
00:31:31,410 --> 00:31:33,320
but like I work from home.
859
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,180
I have for years.
860
00:31:34,180 --> 00:31:37,130
Like my personal and my
business are so intertwined
861
00:31:37,130 --> 00:31:39,600
that like.
- Yep.
862
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,440
Well, and I think it got
normalized with COVID,
863
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,273
which was nice.
864
00:31:42,273 --> 00:31:43,760
If your dog's barking in the background,
865
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,380
it's not like, "Oh my
God, how unprofessional."
866
00:31:46,380 --> 00:31:49,190
If you show up in a t-shirt, it's fine.
867
00:31:49,190 --> 00:31:51,010
It's okay.
868
00:31:51,010 --> 00:31:52,457
You can come in your, I've worn pajamas
869
00:31:52,457 --> 00:31:53,870
and done these podcasts interviews.
870
00:31:53,870 --> 00:31:55,511
Like I'm not even kidding.
871
00:31:55,511 --> 00:31:56,810
It was nice looking pajamas.
- I'm in yoga pants.
872
00:31:56,810 --> 00:31:58,670
- And all you could see was like here.
873
00:31:58,670 --> 00:32:00,360
Oh, I live in yoga pants.
874
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:01,383
- Yoga pants, keep talking.
875
00:32:01,383 --> 00:32:02,216
- The ones with the
pockets, they have pockets.
876
00:32:02,216 --> 00:32:03,049
- Oh seriously,
- I got the ones
877
00:32:03,049 --> 00:32:05,007
with the pockets on the -
878
00:32:05,007 --> 00:32:05,840
- And they have big enough
pockets to actually fit
879
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,370
a cell phone.
- Yes.
880
00:32:07,370 --> 00:32:09,574
- Yeah, no, amazing.
881
00:32:09,574 --> 00:32:11,780
- I can put like down to here on my arm
882
00:32:11,780 --> 00:32:12,957
in my pocket.
- Sometimes when I go walking
883
00:32:12,957 --> 00:32:14,488
and it's cold I'll do that.
884
00:32:14,488 --> 00:32:16,400
And then I've got. (laughing)
885
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,260
It looks so dumb.
886
00:32:17,260 --> 00:32:18,500
If I fall one of these days,
887
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:21,120
I'm going to completely skin my face, but.
888
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:21,953
- Oh yeah.
889
00:32:21,953 --> 00:32:23,710
- It's really comfortable.
- But it keeps your hands warm
890
00:32:23,710 --> 00:32:26,330
and it's like surprisingly comfortable.
891
00:32:26,330 --> 00:32:28,030
I'll do that even
sitting here in my chair,
892
00:32:28,030 --> 00:32:30,460
I'll have my hands just and
I'll just be leaned back,
893
00:32:30,460 --> 00:32:33,010
I'll be watching some
training videos or something.
894
00:32:33,010 --> 00:32:35,370
It's just, it's a, and I think it's okay.
895
00:32:35,370 --> 00:32:38,260
I was talking to one guy
when COVID first started
896
00:32:38,260 --> 00:32:40,520
and he was, his employees
were having to work remotely
897
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:41,620
and they normally hadn't.
898
00:32:41,620 --> 00:32:42,453
Pretty big company.
899
00:32:42,453 --> 00:32:45,500
I mean, he had like 55, 60 employees.
900
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:48,060
He said that if they were
on a meeting with a client
901
00:32:48,060 --> 00:32:51,050
or in a staff meeting and a
kid cried or a dog barked,
902
00:32:51,050 --> 00:32:52,600
he would fire them immediately.
903
00:32:54,470 --> 00:32:57,100
- Wow.
- This was at the beginning
904
00:32:57,100 --> 00:33:02,100
of COVID where this
was not, everybody was,
905
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,960
schools were out, doggy
daycares weren't like.
906
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,357
- Right.
- You had no
907
00:33:06,357 --> 00:33:08,177
choice.
- You had no other options.
908
00:33:08,177 --> 00:33:11,160
- He said they had to get
someone to come babysit
909
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,350
and it's who are you gonna get to come?
910
00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:15,850
Well, you can't let
people into your house.
911
00:33:15,850 --> 00:33:17,850
Family members or somebody can I'm sure.
912
00:33:19,551 --> 00:33:20,384
They're like really?
913
00:33:20,384 --> 00:33:21,410
That's not okay.
914
00:33:21,410 --> 00:33:22,673
- A little out of touch.
- It's just not okay.
915
00:33:22,673 --> 00:33:24,900
It's so weird. Yeah.
916
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:26,910
And it's I don't, I don't care.
917
00:33:26,910 --> 00:33:28,930
Like I've had my dogs bark in a podcast.
918
00:33:28,930 --> 00:33:30,530
If they hear a noise outside,
919
00:33:30,530 --> 00:33:34,610
they're gonna skitter so
loud that you'll hear it.
920
00:33:34,610 --> 00:33:35,443
And you'll be like, "Hey."
921
00:33:35,443 --> 00:33:36,870
and trying to rip your headphones out.
922
00:33:36,870 --> 00:33:38,160
But it's life.
923
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,130
It's just life right now.
924
00:33:40,130 --> 00:33:41,767
I mean, my thing is a mess behind me
925
00:33:41,767 --> 00:33:44,120
and it's you can worry
about that kind of stuff.
926
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,350
Or you can just get the job done.
927
00:33:45,350 --> 00:33:48,481
- Yeah, no, that's, literally
this corner is like,
928
00:33:48,481 --> 00:33:50,840
I have aluminum foil behind me
929
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,860
and then I have like a cat
box and everything else.
930
00:33:53,860 --> 00:33:55,360
It's all spread behind this.
931
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,910
And it's just like this was my spot.
932
00:33:56,910 --> 00:33:57,960
I can be here.
933
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,970
I can put a jacket on, done.
934
00:33:59,970 --> 00:34:00,990
Like that is it.
935
00:34:00,990 --> 00:34:03,660
Yeah, I take all my calls
mostly with the cat in my arms.
936
00:34:03,660 --> 00:34:06,160
'Cause he won't not do that and it's just.
937
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,640
- Yep, I've finally got my dogs taught
938
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,420
to mostly lay down here.
939
00:34:11,420 --> 00:34:14,217
But if Lila decides that,
yesterday she's like,
940
00:34:14,217 --> 00:34:15,290
"Are you paying attention to me?"
941
00:34:15,290 --> 00:34:17,710
She will literally try and jump in my lap.
942
00:34:17,710 --> 00:34:19,020
And she is not a lap dog.
943
00:34:19,020 --> 00:34:20,377
She's fairly big, so.
944
00:34:21,622 --> 00:34:23,630
But yeah, I mean, I think it's just,
945
00:34:23,630 --> 00:34:25,470
I love that we've had
a lot of tips on here
946
00:34:25,470 --> 00:34:28,850
for people that it's
like normalize normal.
947
00:34:28,850 --> 00:34:31,620
I kind of feel like we
don't have to hide life
948
00:34:31,620 --> 00:34:33,200
to be good in business.
949
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,033
- Yes.
950
00:34:34,033 --> 00:34:34,866
- It's like about the only thing
951
00:34:34,866 --> 00:34:36,150
that I ask people to
do when they're working
952
00:34:36,150 --> 00:34:38,433
with me is get a good mic.
953
00:34:38,433 --> 00:34:39,850
- Oh.
- Let's make sure
954
00:34:39,850 --> 00:34:41,130
you have a good microphone
955
00:34:41,130 --> 00:34:42,680
because if I'm talking to you on a call
956
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,740
and I can't hear-
- Oh that would drive me nuts.
957
00:34:45,740 --> 00:34:48,450
- Everything else though,
anything else I can deal with.
958
00:34:48,450 --> 00:34:50,520
If you're sitting on the
couch and your lighting's bad.
959
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,273
If you've got a kid running around.
960
00:34:53,620 --> 00:34:57,023
We'll reschedule if we need to
if the kid's too distracting.
961
00:35:00,122 --> 00:35:01,284
It has to be okay.
962
00:35:01,284 --> 00:35:04,800
And I think we have to be
okay to like tell clients
963
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,550
we don't, our employees are people.
964
00:35:07,750 --> 00:35:12,123
- Well and our clients like
that. I mean, we literally.
965
00:35:13,810 --> 00:35:15,220
- [Both] The right clients notice it.
966
00:35:15,220 --> 00:35:17,760
- Yeah. I mean, and that's
who we wanna work with
967
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:18,900
because like you're here
968
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:20,680
and a lot of them are
wanting to do the same thing
969
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,980
and enforce boundaries in
their own life and business.
970
00:35:22,980 --> 00:35:25,060
And they're like, "Oh, you're doing it."
971
00:35:25,060 --> 00:35:25,893
- Yeah.
- Yeah, they're so right.
972
00:35:25,893 --> 00:35:27,960
- They're sort of free to do it. I mean,
973
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,350
it's like so many people are
afraid to make these changes,
974
00:35:30,350 --> 00:35:32,610
to put these kinds of
restrictions into place.
975
00:35:32,610 --> 00:35:33,833
And to be that,
976
00:35:34,688 --> 00:35:35,990
I was talking with someone
the other day, Carlson,
977
00:35:35,990 --> 00:35:38,730
and he was like, he said he
thinks most of the people
978
00:35:38,730 --> 00:35:40,440
that succeed, succeed
because they're not afraid
979
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,273
to be a fool.
980
00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:45,800
And I was like, "That's fair."
981
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,160
Yeah, because I mean
foolish on some level,
982
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,150
not court jester or whatever,
983
00:35:50,150 --> 00:35:53,520
but we have these fears around
how we're gonna be perceived.
984
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,560
That, oh, we don't have a company phone.
985
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,350
You're not gonna be able to call us,
986
00:35:57,350 --> 00:35:58,320
how's that gonna make us look?
987
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,730
We have these fears that.
988
00:36:00,730 --> 00:36:01,563
You know, honestly the
right people, the ones
989
00:36:01,563 --> 00:36:05,070
that we wanna work with are
gonna share our beliefs.
990
00:36:05,070 --> 00:36:06,890
And yeah, it's just not
gonna matter to them.
991
00:36:06,890 --> 00:36:08,700
They're gonna be like,
"Oh, that's so cool."
992
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:09,970
- Right.
- Which I think you've seen.
993
00:36:09,970 --> 00:36:11,550
So 'cause I found you on TikTok.
994
00:36:11,550 --> 00:36:14,040
You guys, I will make sure
her TikTok link is somewhere
995
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,730
because she's constantly
putting out new stuff.
996
00:36:16,730 --> 00:36:18,320
So if you're listening
to this, her TikTok,
997
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,990
wherever you're watching
this out on the interwebs,
998
00:36:19,990 --> 00:36:21,130
her link to her TikTok will be here.
999
00:36:21,130 --> 00:36:22,227
That's how I found her and it's amazing.
1000
00:36:22,227 --> 00:36:24,960
And I think I've watched
every video you've put out.
1001
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,957
- Wow, I'm flattered.
- Yeah, so,
1002
00:36:26,957 --> 00:36:28,330
I'm a little stalkery maybe.
1003
00:36:28,330 --> 00:36:30,520
- I'm gonna start making
them just for you.
1004
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,980
You'll be my new avatar.
1005
00:36:31,980 --> 00:36:33,713
And so that'll give me
something to think about.
1006
00:36:33,713 --> 00:36:35,830
I'll like print a picture
of you and put it behind.
1007
00:36:35,830 --> 00:36:38,220
'Cause I feel weird sometimes,
like not talking to anyone,
1008
00:36:38,220 --> 00:36:39,430
knowing I'm talking to someone.
1009
00:36:39,430 --> 00:36:41,047
So we're gonna do that now, that'll work.
1010
00:36:41,047 --> 00:36:43,027
- That is kind of the weird
part about TikTok I think
1011
00:36:43,027 --> 00:36:45,580
'cause yeah, you don't
know who you're talking to
1012
00:36:45,580 --> 00:36:46,900
and it's you're just kinda, yeah.
1013
00:36:46,900 --> 00:36:48,140
I made my first TikToks.
1014
00:36:48,140 --> 00:36:51,530
It's not very good, but I have
made some, I'll keep going.
1015
00:36:51,530 --> 00:36:53,390
So yeah, I will definitely
make sure we link to that.
1016
00:36:53,390 --> 00:36:54,900
'Cause we, you just do have
so many good things going on.
1017
00:36:54,900 --> 00:36:57,320
So it'll be fun watching what you do.
1018
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,190
Like you probably have
a whole nother business,
1019
00:36:59,190 --> 00:37:02,000
just teaching other people
how to do what you're already
1020
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,094
doing naturally using your superpowers.
1021
00:37:04,094 --> 00:37:06,033
- Yes.
- So, go back to working
1022
00:37:06,033 --> 00:37:08,880
that 60 hour week as
you run two businesses.
1023
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,260
- Well, that was the irony, right?
1024
00:37:10,260 --> 00:37:13,170
Is we went viral and then it
was a struggle to keep everyone
1025
00:37:13,170 --> 00:37:14,003
under their hours.
1026
00:37:14,003 --> 00:37:17,960
'Cause we had this influx of
contact and media requests
1027
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,117
and new client requests
and job applicants.
1028
00:37:20,117 --> 00:37:24,500
And I was everyone,
breathe, set expectations.
1029
00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:27,570
Let's put templates in
place, we've got this, but.
1030
00:37:27,570 --> 00:37:31,340
- Yeah, well and you have a
whole bunch of new applicants,
1031
00:37:31,340 --> 00:37:35,160
so you just gotta balance it out.
1032
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:36,490
That's another problem I think a lot
1033
00:37:36,490 --> 00:37:37,370
of people don't think about.
1034
00:37:37,370 --> 00:37:38,950
They're so worried about trying to grow
1035
00:37:38,950 --> 00:37:40,090
that they don't think about well,
1036
00:37:40,090 --> 00:37:42,310
when they do that thing
that helps them grow,
1037
00:37:42,310 --> 00:37:43,170
can they handle it?
1038
00:37:43,170 --> 00:37:45,380
And I went through that for years.
1039
00:37:45,380 --> 00:37:46,920
One of my businesses is a marketing agency
1040
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,227
and people would say, "I want to grow.
1041
00:37:48,227 --> 00:37:49,160
"I wanna double my business."
1042
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,060
And I'd be "Okay, can you
handle the workload if you did?"
1043
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,487
And they're like, "Yeah,
no, it'd be probably
1044
00:37:55,487 --> 00:37:58,280
"about like a year before
we could onboard and train
1045
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,113
and get it."
1046
00:37:59,113 --> 00:37:59,946
And it's like,
1047
00:37:59,946 --> 00:38:00,779
"Why is that your goal?"
- You need to be doing
1048
00:38:01,619 --> 00:38:02,601
it now to be ready to go.
1049
00:38:02,601 --> 00:38:03,434
- Yeah.
- Yeah, no, we've grown
1050
00:38:03,434 --> 00:38:05,680
300% this year over last year.
1051
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:10,680
And that, that has been
a very quick dip into,
1052
00:38:11,070 --> 00:38:12,690
you have to figure this out now
1053
00:38:12,690 --> 00:38:15,390
because this is either
you need to stop the train
1054
00:38:15,390 --> 00:38:16,900
or you need to get on the train
1055
00:38:16,900 --> 00:38:18,460
and like do things the right way
1056
00:38:18,460 --> 00:38:23,180
because you cannot do
this without more help.
1057
00:38:23,180 --> 00:38:25,160
- Well, and you've built
a pretty good culture too.
1058
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,070
So it's like when,
1059
00:38:26,070 --> 00:38:29,930
and I love that you have
a little bit of space.
1060
00:38:29,930 --> 00:38:31,167
'Cause I talk to people a lot of time
1061
00:38:31,167 --> 00:38:34,010
and if your employees are
working a 40 hour work week,
1062
00:38:34,010 --> 00:38:37,630
you basically have to get them to work 50
1063
00:38:37,630 --> 00:38:40,620
before you know that you need
to hire your next person.
1064
00:38:40,620 --> 00:38:42,167
So you're watching that and being like,
1065
00:38:42,167 --> 00:38:43,627
"Hey, your normal's 25, 30.
1066
00:38:43,627 --> 00:38:45,310
"If you're working 32?"
1067
00:38:45,310 --> 00:38:48,810
- Right, if we're seeing 32
or over for more than a week
1068
00:38:48,810 --> 00:38:51,030
or two in a row it's a conversation.
1069
00:38:51,030 --> 00:38:53,660
And not like a you're
in trouble conversation,
1070
00:38:53,660 --> 00:38:56,650
but a "Hey, is this an
indicator?" conversation.
1071
00:38:56,650 --> 00:38:59,100
- Yeah, it's like you have
bandwidth to grow without having
1072
00:38:59,100 --> 00:39:01,660
to make them work overtime
to figure that out.
1073
00:39:01,660 --> 00:39:02,950
'Cause I mean, you do kind of have that.
1074
00:39:02,950 --> 00:39:05,450
You have people that need to
work a little bit more time.
1075
00:39:05,450 --> 00:39:07,570
And while you figure out
that you need to hire,
1076
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,090
and that just happens.
1077
00:39:09,090 --> 00:39:10,680
But for most companies it's happening
1078
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,400
in overtime beyond 40 hours a week instead
1079
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,113
of within their normal like
reasonable expectation work.
1080
00:39:18,100 --> 00:39:18,933
So I love that.
1081
00:39:18,933 --> 00:39:21,410
I just, I love all, I've
kept you talking for so long.
1082
00:39:21,410 --> 00:39:22,987
I try and keep these like 20, 30 minutes.
1083
00:39:22,987 --> 00:39:24,880
We've been chatting for like 40.
1084
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,550
So like let's talk, we've talked
1085
00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:28,790
about how awesome you are
this entire time, obviously.
1086
00:39:28,790 --> 00:39:32,250
So, but like tell us more about
who you'd like to work with,
1087
00:39:32,250 --> 00:39:35,200
how you help them and
where someone can find you?
1088
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,880
- Okay, so we work with
primarily business owners,
1089
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,910
mostly millennials,
some gen Z, some gen X,
1090
00:39:41,910 --> 00:39:43,350
the generation does not matter.
1091
00:39:43,350 --> 00:39:45,050
It's more the personality fit.
1092
00:39:45,050 --> 00:39:46,290
You guys have gotten a really good feel
1093
00:39:46,290 --> 00:39:49,200
for kind of how we vibe.
1094
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,780
We have a lot of responsibility,
1095
00:39:50,780 --> 00:39:53,110
a lot of fun and a lot of education.
1096
00:39:53,110 --> 00:39:55,070
We are really big on empowerment
1097
00:39:55,070 --> 00:39:58,090
and education without the
shaming that I think comes
1098
00:39:58,090 --> 00:40:02,480
with so many of the finance
and money related fields.
1099
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,310
And frankly it's old, it's exhausting
1100
00:40:05,310 --> 00:40:06,940
and it's been over done.
1101
00:40:06,940 --> 00:40:08,780
And so we work with business owners,
1102
00:40:08,780 --> 00:40:10,530
we work with personal individuals
1103
00:40:10,530 --> 00:40:13,020
and we help with, we're
full service accounting firm
1104
00:40:13,020 --> 00:40:14,300
and financial education.
1105
00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:17,270
So you wanna know how to
prioritize your debt payoff?
1106
00:40:17,270 --> 00:40:19,150
Great, we have courses for that.
1107
00:40:19,150 --> 00:40:23,050
You wanna know how to understand
the basics of retirement?
1108
00:40:23,050 --> 00:40:24,120
Gotcha covered.
1109
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,487
Need a consult call 'cause you're like,
1110
00:40:25,487 --> 00:40:28,180
"I have no idea what to do
and I don't have a budget."
1111
00:40:28,180 --> 00:40:29,820
That's there.
1112
00:40:29,820 --> 00:40:32,360
I need to register my business.
1113
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,630
I need my accounting handled, voila.
1114
00:40:35,630 --> 00:40:38,790
So anything within that
kind of, it's a very niche,
1115
00:40:38,790 --> 00:40:40,430
but very popular.
1116
00:40:40,430 --> 00:40:41,820
We need finance help.
1117
00:40:41,820 --> 00:40:44,100
We don't need a full-time
person finance help,
1118
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:47,570
or we need someone to
support us and let us know
1119
00:40:47,570 --> 00:40:49,180
that they've got our backs.
1120
00:40:49,180 --> 00:40:51,750
And that bled over a lot
into the personal sphere.
1121
00:40:51,750 --> 00:40:54,610
'Cause we're very anti budget.
1122
00:40:54,610 --> 00:40:57,190
We actually do what I
call the anti budget,
1123
00:40:57,190 --> 00:40:59,313
which is a whole other podcast.
1124
00:41:00,445 --> 00:41:04,640
And we're very much in the
space of like thinking your debt
1125
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,250
and not beating yourself up
because most of us have it.
1126
00:41:08,250 --> 00:41:09,680
Let's look at what it's done for you
1127
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,730
or allowed you to learn.
1128
00:41:10,730 --> 00:41:13,520
And like let's make a plan
from there and move forward.
1129
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:14,838
Finding me.
1130
00:41:14,838 --> 00:41:16,421
Katelynmagnuson.com
1131
00:41:18,129 --> 00:41:20,796
and Instagram @katelyn.magnuson.
1132
00:41:21,644 --> 00:41:23,630
I always have to think about
that one for some reason.
1133
00:41:23,630 --> 00:41:24,950
And then of course TikTok
1134
00:41:24,950 --> 00:41:26,780
and there's a free
Facebook group that I have
1135
00:41:26,780 --> 00:41:29,310
that we put a bunch of
educational content in.
1136
00:41:29,310 --> 00:41:30,460
Any of those are fine.
1137
00:41:30,460 --> 00:41:32,050
We are in all of them.
1138
00:41:32,050 --> 00:41:34,113
We, me, team, et cetera.
1139
00:41:34,950 --> 00:41:36,570
- Yep, I think I'm in your Facebook group,
1140
00:41:36,570 --> 00:41:37,790
I'm on a newsletter
- Yes you are.
1141
00:41:37,790 --> 00:41:39,068
- for something.
1142
00:41:39,068 --> 00:41:40,470
I'm literally
1143
00:41:40,470 --> 00:41:41,303
following you everywhere.
- David said this girl
1144
00:41:41,303 --> 00:41:42,136
with blue hair
1145
00:41:42,136 --> 00:41:42,969
asked to join.
1146
00:41:42,969 --> 00:41:44,497
I was like, "I know who that is."
1147
00:41:45,930 --> 00:41:48,847
- Personal branding at work.
1148
00:41:48,847 --> 00:41:52,600
But yeah, I think I'm stalking
you pretty much everywhere,
1149
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,873
fan girling so.
- I love that.
1150
00:41:56,460 --> 00:41:58,030
- All right, well I
know let's wrap up here.
1151
00:41:58,030 --> 00:42:00,590

1153
00:42:02,470 --> 00:42:04,940
to relisten to this multiple,
multiple, multiple times
1154
00:42:04,940 --> 00:42:07,420
and you need to pick at
least one thing she said
1155
00:42:07,420 --> 00:42:10,300
and go do it and your
life is gonna get better.
1156
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:12,130
So thank you so much for doing this.
1157
00:42:12,130 --> 00:42:14,640
- Thank you, yeah, no it's been,
1158
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:15,660
I love talking about this.
1159
00:42:15,660 --> 00:42:16,703
This is my jam.
