it's Sheryl here I'm in the hotel as you can see so if we have people coming up
by the stairwell here you'll know what's going on it's Sheryl here and I wanted
to jump on Facebook live real quick to tell you something it actually the
reason why I'm bringing this up is because of just a webinar training that
I actually just watched so just sort of inspired me and I thought you know what
I really want to come on and share with you the the scariest it really was the
scariest yet the best decision I ever made 2,000 dollars that I ever spent and
Tony while you're watching can you let me know in the chat if you're seeing
this in landscape mode right now is I'm doing a Facebook live and I'm not sure
if if we're not seeing it in the landscape mode then I'll have to switch
it hi Michael nice to see you too are you seeing my feed here and Kevin's here
too seeing this in the landscape mode if you just give me a thumbs up that you're
seeing that in this mode that would be great so because I don't want to
continue if it's like sideways if it's sideways then we have problems so just
let me know if you're seeing that I'm going to share with you the the very the
best yet scariest okay I'm seeing a thumbs so I
think that means that we're good for landscape mode okay cool
the scariest yet best $2000.00 I ever spent was way back in this would have
been about 2013 and in 2013 was kind of a momentous year for me and the reason
why it was momentous was because... Richards here - where am I? I am in a hotel
I'm in a hotel and the boys are actually going out to play their championship
hockey game in just a little while so I don't have a lot of time but I'm just
like I feel fired up right now and inspired to share this with you guys
because investing in yourself is one of the most difficult decisions we can
make especially when we're unsure of the future path that we're following and
that's why that $2,000 spend back in 2013 was so scary for me and... hi Stacey
nice to see you so back in 2013 let me preface this by
telling you what happened. I had previous to that from 2010 to 2013 had been
working in a management position. I had 17 a team of 17 journalists
reporters videographers digital writers who worked with me on my team as the
news manager of the big media brand I used to work for and and so I had them
all spread across the country was a great job loved it it was very taxing
24/7 all of that but it was you know again editorial so like the news never
stops and so I was kind of chained in my phone, but aside from that what I
discovered in that three-year period was that I enjoyed certain parts of it there
are some parts that I didn't love but in any case 2013 I'm in my office and my
boss comes to the door and says hey how are you doing okay come on in come on in
and have a seat and he goes oh actually maybe we can go talk down here I'm like
oh yeah sure like whatever right so I follow him and we go down to this other room and we
sit down he proceeds to tell me that my job is being eliminated
well the look of my face must have been priceless because I was like what like
who my immediate thought was who's going to do all this work like I'm working
24/7 like who so anyway suffice to say hi Rodina nice
to see you so suffice to say it was a bit of a shock to me that they were
going to eliminate this job anyway that job well it really it was kind of a
momentous kind of watershed moment for me because it made me realize that I'm
dispensable and so are so many of us in the corporate world when we're employees
we really we're a number on a spreadsheet and so I you know I
understood what was going on happy new year
I know you can relate I like think a lot of people reading that can relate to
this this kind of idea and so I realized that I wasn't invincible
I was dispensable I was a number on a spreadsheet somewhere and so they had to
make some hard decisions and what-have-you but what it did was it had
it forced me it forced me to start looking at the world in a different way
hi Glenn you look at the world in a different way when something like that
shatters you and I was I was shattered for a long time
bitter angry upset I felt marginalized I felt minimized all
these different emotional things were going on I think I really wasn't a form
of a depression frankly so in that process I started to seek out
alternatives I wanted to know is there a possibility that there's more to it than
this is this it am I stuck and so this leads me to telling you what the best
decision is that I ever made in this $2,000 investment that I made way back
in 2013 and hi mighty and and listen if this is resonating with you or you know
someone who this may resonate with please share this link with them or
share this post with them and you could even share it on your social networks to
get my message out to more people I really appreciate that
because it's something so many of us relate to as employees and working in
the corporate landscape and all of that it's changing radically so I was
introduced to Marie Forleo back in 2013 and she if you look her up
marieforleo.com she's amazing right she's like now in the circles with Oprah
and all of that she has a program called b-school and it's something that she'd
been doing for years at that point has continued to do for years and aw thanks
Rodina for sharing I appreciate that and this program was $2,000 it was like
one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine dollars and I think it was a US if
memory serves me I didn't have $2,000 US to invest in a marketing program and
that's what it was it was like an online marketing fundamentals program b-school
is amazing for anyone who is I highly recommend it and it really was difficult
for me to make a decision to spend money I didn't have at a time when I was
feeling emotional and it just wasn't enough I didn't feel like I was in a
really good headspace which is exactly the reason why I did it
isn't that interesting the reason why I did it
and spent money I didn't have on a program that I didn't even really fully
know I needed because I followed my instincts and I knew that nothing was
gonna change otherwise nothing was gonna change unless I started to see value in
myself and that I was worth it I found the money I think I put it on a credit
card and that program changed the course of my life $2,000 when you think about
$2,000 in the grand scheme of your life it's a drop in the bucket compared to
the grand scheme of your life it can feel like a lot when you have no money
it can feel like a lot when you're vulnerable and emotional and depressed
but making that decision was the very best yet scariest $2,000 I ever spent
and Here I am now you fast forward five years I've done many more trainings I've
done masterminds I've invested into myself at a much higher level than that
without any hesitation when you find the right person and you know that that
person has what you want and you follow that path as long as it's in a reputable
and all of that you will reap ten times that investment
over and over again and that's where I'm at now I've made way more than ever than
than I've invested in myself okay but you have to learn from the people who
you admire you have to learn from the people who've been there and done what
you want to do and what you want to achieve and it will be investment we
don't value that which is free we have a lot of free stuff online right and yes
I think that as an as a digital marketer as an online marketer we do have to
produce some content that we're gonna be putting out for free without asking for
anything in return it's content market it makes sense but from this person from
this perspective of training development coaching mentoring we don't if it's free
we don't value it so what happens is if you don't invest in yourself at a decent
level like at a higher level we it's dispensable to us it's like well you
know I bought that course for five hundred dollars it doesn't matter to me
if I do it or don't do it and it and that's why so many times online courses
go undone because it's like it's just sensible right it's like listen we're in
this hotel this weekend spending 500 bucks for just to be here for this
hockey tournament right like it's something that isn't gonna it's not
going to change the course of your life you're not gonna for most people I don't
want to down downplay the fact that $500 just a lot of money to some people but
in the grand scheme of most people's lives
you can survive but when you start to spent two thousand six thousand ten
thousand plus in yourself better darn believe you're gonna do the work right
who agrees or disagree let me know with a thumbs up if you agree if you spent
let's just say five thousand dollars on something are you gonna do the work
thumbs up let me know if you if you agree that's that if you do made a five
thousand dollar investment in yourself are you just gonna kind of be
like hey I'd rather watch TV okay of course you're gonna go on you're gonna
be like digging deep you're gonna do the work and that's why you get results when
you invest in yourself so the best decision I ever made in 2013 was
spending two thousand dollars of money I did not have on marie forleo's b-school
so that I could be where I am today which is now allowing me to have high
paying clients many of which are going to be watching this video and thank you
for your investment in me but but that's how that's how it works is that you
start to learn what you need to learn but more importantly you you actually do
the work and if that's what it takes it isn't easy
from everyone who tells you it's easy they're lying to you Mac says light bulb
moment five hundred dollars for a hotel versus five hundred dollars your
knowledge of your industry brilliant thank you thanks max ladies Rodina says
I received a five thousand dollar grant from my town for my business or I
remember that Rodina but I also had to write a hundred plus page business plan
so we think about that Rodina you know five thousand dollars you had to write a
hundred page plus business plan it didn't come easy right we said five
thousand dollars it's an investment Absolutely but if you knew that you could spend five thousand to make twenty
wouldn't you do that all day long wouldn't you do that all day long but
when you spend five thousand I'm just using that as a figure but let's say you
spend five thousand you're going to do the work and it's the work it's putting
in the time and the effort and dedication and work and commitment that
gets results coaches can't they can't hi Camden coaches can't do the work for
you you have to do the work yourself right this is what in Camden was as part
of the master mind I've been fortunate to be part of for the last two years and
so when you when you invest at a high level you do the work and you commit
yourself and there's taking it to a whole new level to a whole new level and
had I not done that I would hi Camden and had I not done that I wouldn't be
able to do what I'm doing now because they didn't know what I didn't know and
so when you know then you start to learn from people like Camden where Marie from
Salt you know you start to see and realize this is totally possible so who
wouldn't do that all day long who wouldn't spend five to make 20 or
spend two to make eight hi Judy nice to see you so I hope this
is helpful for you to know that even you know for me it was a scary time you know
back in 2013 very very first online program at a higher level like was two
thousand dollars at the time that I invested in and it was scary I really
debated it but so glad I did Camden says you're so right on this was
just talking about this with someone yesterday yes yes yes Thank You Camden
so I just wanted to jump on I actually just watched a really great webinar and
I don't know I just inspired I don't have a lot of time but let's be honest
because the boys are getting ready they're being they're giving their last
minute coaching we're in the championship game and my son is the
goalie in the championship game so as the goalie mom and dad who's back in the
room we're trying to like get ourselves together sometimes it can be stressful
but in any case I wanted to just come down here find a quiet place down the
hall there's some lights natural light here
so that I could share this message with you while I'm inspired and I think it's
an important message for you all to know that you do need to to look at these
program when you're with it whether it's mine or someone else's these programs
that are at a higher price level are that way for a reason because they get
results that's why Camden thank you I will have
a blast at the game I'm gonna try to keep calm deep breaths
and it'll be fine love you to Camden thanks so much so listen if you want to
if you have questions at all about this if listen, it didn't stop just at that
two thousand dollar investment I've invested quite a bit in myself over the
last many years and if you're curious to know what that's all about please just
message me private message me it would be happy to jump on the phone with you
and explain further what this type of thing can do for you if you're at the
place right now where you know you need transformation hi Kristin you know
you're in that place where you need change that nothing's gonna change
unless you take that action I'm here too I'm living proof that it works and it
can totally happen for you and I'd be happy to jump on the phone or
what-have-you either just do a bit of text messaging with you or whatever it
takes to help you see that this is a possibility for you as well so have a
fantastic day you guys I wish L the best and bye for now give that some serious
thought have a great day and please share this post again if you know
