now here's your host, TV Park.
25
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.920
Good morning, it's Tuesday, and I'm excited to be here
26
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.480
with you all. So just as something like very exciting
27
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:27.239
happened recently. So I know you've probably heard me tell
28
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.519
so many stories about the AI, and it was very interesting.
29
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.760
I had been building a few different agents and as
30
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:40.480
I was trying to create orchestration, which is, you know,
31
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:45.239
one agent talking to another, and I find that there's
32
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:51.159
a lag. Something is happening in the results and the
33
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.159
output that comes out of my three agents working together.
34
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:05.959
And I knew that AI was playing. It can go
35
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.280
to play. And when it goes to play, I can
36
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.000
tell you that it is going to make a difference,
37
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.599
that the output will not be what you'll be expecting.
38
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.360
So just want to bring it back and remember, no
39
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:23.120
matter how far the AI goes, human envelope that is
40
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.599
something that you need to carry it with you. You
41
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:31.520
cannot just give or head it over to AI without
42
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.599
having human at the front and center. That is the key.
43
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.439
And if you're looking to grow your business, growing your
44
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.319
professional career and staying ahead because one skill set that
45
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.000
I will give you is that it's not about what
46
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.560
you know about AI is a tool, it's how you
47
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.400
train it, how you build your metacognitive skills. How do
48
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:56.719
you build your employees and your team's metacognitive skills around AI.
49
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.680
That's the skill that will differentiate you. And today we
50
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.680
are going to be talking about business because there's so
51
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.240
many gen zys, so many millennials, and then so many
52
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:13.360
people in the corporate thinking that this is not fulfilling
53
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.360
me and I need to step out. I need to
54
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.479
create something of my own. So that's what our guest
55
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:26.039
is going to be sharing her wisdom about today. So
56
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.080
welcome Andrea.
57
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.159
Thank you so much. I'm so excited to be.
58
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.599
Here, excited to have you so share with us. If
59
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.879
you recall a moment or a person in your youth
60
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.719
or sometime in your life that left a positive mark
61
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:42.960
on you.
62
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:51.199
Yes, my dad is one of the smartest men I've
63
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:55.919
ever met. And I'm probably partial, but I was actually
64
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:03.800
raised by an entrepreneur, a business coach who instilled entrepreneurial
65
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.719
thinking in me from a very early age, and I
66
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.319
had the pleasure to work with him for an entire
67
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.639
decade of my career and learning from building businesses and
68
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:20.000
how to how to help businesses grow, but also how
69
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.160
to grow our own business because I was working very
70
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.920
close with him in business development and marketing and so
71
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.160
so many of those things and lessons that I learned
72
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.240
from him are what set me up for success when
73
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.959
I decided to launch my own coaching business decades later.
74
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.720
So definitely, it sounds like you had a great influence
75
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.800
right there in your family, in your home. Yeah, And
76
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.680
what was it about entrepreneurship that attracted you?
77
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:57.120
You know, it's interesting, like I never had a different thought,
78
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.959
I guess when I was maybe like I think when
79
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.240
when I was ten years old, I really wanted to
80
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.600
be something else, Like I wanted to be an American gladiator.
81
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.920
Do you remember that show with the people like battling
82
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:11.360
it out? And they were and it was all these
83
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.600
women who were really strong and powerful and they were
84
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.160
battling it out in the arena, and one of them
85
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.800
was a firefighter. And I was like, I want to
86
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.560
be a firefighter American gladiator. And then, you know, obviously
87
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.720
I realized that's probably not in the cards for me.
88
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:33.160
But I watched my dad have freedom and he and
89
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.600
my mom traveled extensively, and we traveled as well. I
90
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.759
was homeschooled as a kid, but when I saw that
91
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.319
freedom that my my parents had, I knew that that's
92
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.519
what I wanted. And so I don't know when I
93
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.519
decided that I was an entrepreneur. I think it was
94
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.319
like it was always sort of in my blood. And
95
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.959
so whenever I've thought about career paths, like that's always
96
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.639
been one of the things. It's like even when I
97
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.560
went by I went back to college, and I wanted
98
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.439
I was like, I want to work in one of
99
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.959
those really cool advertising agencies where the cool kids are
100
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:15.480
and everybody's creative and and I wanted to be in
101
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.480
a creative field. But you know, while I was in college,
102
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.120
I got a job in an agency, and then within
103
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:23.839
a couple of years, I was like, I want to
104
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.879
start my own agency. I want to you know, like
105
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:28.879
I want to make this thing happen, because I think
106
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:33.240
my brain works different from a standpoint of like not
107
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.879
only do I have like high risk tolerance, but I
108
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.759
also I love put seeing potential and like I want
109
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.639
to take it as far as it can go. That's
110
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.279
the and I think I got that from my dad.
111
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:51.720
Yeah, and that is definitely one of the characteristics or
112
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.600
the character traits of being an entrepreneur or at least
113
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.680
and if you don't have it, being comfortable with risk
114
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.439
developing that skill set. So tell us about your journey
115
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.759
as to from you know, you decided you wanted to
116
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.360
step into the coaching journey have your own. What was
117
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.360
it about that coaching that drew you and vended a
118
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.120
start and just share with us double journey.
119
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.360
Yeah. So, you know, I mentioned ian about a decade
120
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.800
working with my dad. So after I worked in an
121
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.800
ad agency for a few years, I actually went to
122
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:28.439
my dad and I was like, I wish that the
123
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:33.079
owner of this business I work for would incorporate more
124
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:37.439
consulting or coaching because I was seeing I was seeing
125
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.120
a business model that was like I was like, this
126
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.920
could be so much more profitable, Like if we could
127
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.759
charge high ticket prices to do things instead of just
128
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.920
the hourly billing rate that we were billing for creative services.
129
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.120
I was like, we've got strategy that is incredible. If
130
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.279
we did more of that strategic work, this agency would
131
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.439
make so much more money. And he said, why don't
132
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:02.800
you come do that for me? And He's like, I
133
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:07.480
love your enthusiasm, and he said, why don't you do
134
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.720
take some of that enthusiasm and bring it to what
135
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:12.879
we do in our coaching. And so I became his
136
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.160
marketing manager, I became his business development director, and then
137
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.879
and during that time, he became global coach in the
138
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.279
year in the world's number one coaching organization. And so
139
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.600
we did amazing things together. And he said, now I
140
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.720
think you know, would you like to be a coach?
141
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.920
And I said, yeah, I mean I had, I had
142
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:36.320
put this pen in, this idea of being a coach
143
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:41.039
because when I was twenty years old, I had I
144
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.440
had two babies by the time, like before I turned
145
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.440
twenty one, and I remember folding laundry on my couch
146
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.919
watching the Oprah Winfrey Show, and there was this woman
147
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.919
that came on named Cheryl Richardson and she was a
148
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.720
life coach and she had this book called Life on Purpose.
149
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.440
And I said, ooh, someday when I grow up, when
150
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.360
I have life experience, and so when I'm like forty,
151
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.000
I'm going to be a life coach. And then, you know,
152
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.159
less than ten years later, my dad was asking, like,
153
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:08.960
I would love for you to be a business coach.
154
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.200
Why don't you, you know, join the firm as a
155
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.879
coach under me, And so I got my coaching certification
156
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.759
and then but I was still working for him, you
157
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:21.279
know what I mean? Like I was, I was working
158
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.960
really hard building someone else's business. And after about a
159
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.279
decade working with my dad, I decided that I wanted
160
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.159
to make a change and I wanted to go out
161
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.840
on my own and do something entrepreneurial. And instead of
162
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.039
launching a coaching business, I was because I was like, oh,
163
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.159
I'm still not ready, Like I'm still not I was.
164
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.279
I still wasn't confident in that, and because I had
165
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.080
always really like worked under somebody else, and I was
166
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:53.320
really good at promoting someone else. And so my husband
167
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.720
and I got into real estate investing and we had
168
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.000
success really quickly. We did. We did ten deals in
169
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.159
our first six months as real estate investors. And the
170
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.759
people who and I had joined someone's coaching program to
171
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.840
learn how to do that, and they recruited me to
172
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:16.960
be a salesperson and a coach and run their start
173
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.519
a podcast for the founder of that coaching organization. And
174
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.600
so here I was, I left working with working for
175
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:28.360
somebody else and got right back in after becoming an entrepreneur,
176
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:30.840
I got right back in so working for somebody else
177
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.960
and I realized I after a couple of years, I said,
178
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.679
I'm working really hard building someone else's dream. And this
179
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.679
was a pattern in my life as I was working
180
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:44.879
really hard to build someone else's dream instead of working
181
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.440
hard to build my own dream. And it got really
182
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.480
bad because I was on calls with women that I
183
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:57.039
was coaching in their real estate coaching business, telling them
184
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.879
that if you're working for someone else, you're building their
185
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.759
dream instead of building your own. And here I was
186
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:08.039
doing that very thing. And so one day I heard
187
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.440
a podcast podcasts Can Change the World. You all, so
188
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.080
I love what you do so much. But I had
189
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.919
heard this podcast where Amy Porterfield was talking about her
190
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.440
book coming out called Two Weeks Notice, and I was like, oh,
191
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.440
I got to listen to that. And she described this
192
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.120
time in her life where she was working for Tony Robbins,
193
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.960
the biggest coach in the world, doing amazing things with
194
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.480
amazing people, and basically crying in her pillow at night
195
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.799
because she was working really hard building someone else's dream.
196
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.000
And I was like, that's me, this is my story.
197
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.120
And I said, what do we do? And she said
198
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:42.919
she sat in this room with Tony and these other
199
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.799
coaches who were getting ready for a conference, and they
200
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.480
were talking about what freedom looked like for them, and
201
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.919
she said, I don't have that freedom. And something welled
202
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:53.960
up in me and I said, I don't have that freedom.
203
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.080
And she said she went home and she mapped out
204
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:58.960
a program, and she put a date on the calendar
205
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.679
and she said words that changed my life. She said,
206
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:07.000
bet on yourself. And I grabbed a notebook and I
207
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:08.879
wrote at the top of the page, what would the
208
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:14.200
bravest version of me do? And I wrote about how
209
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:18.320
I really wanted to work with women and entrepreneurs to
210
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:23.919
do something to step into their confidence. And I put
211
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.039
a date on the calendar and I called the people
212
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.320
I was working with and I said, I'm so excited.
213
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.039
I'm hosting this workshop and I've created this offer, and
214
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.039
I'm really confident that I can do what I do
215
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.240
for you and do this at the same time. And
216
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:40.080
they said, no, ma'am, if you want your own coaching program,
217
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.960
you cannot also work for our coaching program. And so
218
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.320
what did I do. I gave my two weeks notice,
219
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:47.879
and I decided to bet on myself, and can I
220
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:51.480
tell you in that moment, I walked away from twelve
221
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:55.759
thousand dollars a month, steady income with no plan B
222
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.519
because there was something in me that just knew that
223
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.600
I was meant for more, and I was praying about it,
224
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.879
and I was like, God, you got to take you
225
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.799
got to take this and do something, because I'm going
226
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:10.840
to show up and do as much as I can,
227
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:16.480
but this is a leap of faith. And within the
228
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.639
first six weeks, I did sixty four thousand dollars in sales,
229
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.120
and women started asking me, Andrea, how did you do that?
230
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.919
Because we were all flipping houses and we're like, it
231
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.480
takes nine months to make sixty four thousand dollars when
232
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:34.879
you flip a house sometimes, and they were like, how'd
233
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.720
you do that? So I said, okay, let me think
234
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:38.200
about this, and I mapped it all out and I
235
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.480
wrote down exactly what I did in that six weeks,
236
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:42.480
and I said, come on, girls, let's go. I'm going
237
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.759
to teach you. And that was just over three years ago,
238
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.440
and since then, I've helped over one hundred and fifty
239
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:53.240
women launch their own coaching businesses. Yeah, and so I'm
240
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.679
so excited today. I mean, it's just been over three
241
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.879
years and we just hit two million dollars in sales. Raightlessness.
242
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:04.039
Yeah, we go Andrea, because I can tell you, like
243
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.519
you know today and if you are listening to this,
