Beyond The Hustle

Some things that used to be optional in the past are now a MUST in 2023. Automation, AI, and other things we can do with technology are going to help you advance tremendously in today's highly distracted world.

In today's solo episode I share with you 5 strategies I recently learned while listening to some of my own Mentors, including Peng Joon and Anik Singal (I recently attended his Expert Summit Mastermind!) and that I will be implementing on my own business! 

Which one of these strategies will you share? Tag me on Twitter @carolinamillan or Instagram @carolinamillan and let me know!

"You have to know what you're willing to give up to get where you want to go. A lot of that is mindset. You have to make sacrifices. Every dollar that we earned went into our own self-enhancement, like doing a course or learning from someone who had the knowledge in the area we wanted to specialize in. Once that paid off, then we were able to invest money back into our business. We were still broke, we were making money, but we were spending it all back into ourselves and our business. Then, we started to hire out, because no empire can be built alone. You will have to depend on somebody if you intend to build an empire. You can't do everything. You have to see the people you hire as investments. Finally, when we had enough money left over, we invested it in income-producing properties that produced cash-flow every single month, and that's what funded our lifestyle. Now even as billionaires, we don't violate those principles, we spend earned income only in enhancing ourselves."

"The fastest, least expensive strategy to double your sales is The Dream 100. It started with my dad working for Charlie Munger. He was given a list of 2,200 potential clients to cold call. He analyzed the list and discovered that 167 clients had bought 95% of the space. He then decided to laser focus on those 167 dream clients and began to follow up with them weekly, adding value, sending direct mail, and more. Within 6 months he closed one of the biggest contracts the industry had ever seen, out of those 167, and the company continued to grow constantly. The definition of the Dream 100 is: who is that one person that if you could have them as a client, it would completely change your life. And to land them as a client, you have to be in their face, in their place, in their space."

"I spent a lot of last summer saying 99% are gonna go to zero. I thought there was too much gold rush. I'm very empathetic to the anxiety, and I know people get caught up. On an individual level I feel good because I feel confident in what I'm building, and as a collector I only spent money I could afford to lose. As far as Veefriends, we're ahead of schedule!"

In today's episode, Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) shares his views on the current market, and how he feels about how Veefriends and Veecon have played out in the past 18 months. Serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk is the Chairman of VaynerX, CEO of VaynerMedia, CEO of VeeFriends, and a 5x New York Times best-selling author.

"Stupid is the new smart. We get these great ideas but we tell ourselves it's stupid. Not that it's necessarily a bad idea, but we feel like we can't do it, because we need more money, more time, more education, more experience, someone else could do it. But the idea is still pushing on your brain, so maybe I should do something about it.

I learned that if you wait to do something for 40 years, you're gonna mess over 3 generations: now, kids and grandkids! 3 generations miss out on being impacted by the things you could've done. When you work beyond the hustle, beyond goals, beyond habits, it changes the entire decision tree. So now you go "I want this thing!""

"You don't want your launches to be the only way in which you acquire clients. A lot of us start that way, that's normal. But eventually you're going to get to a phase where you're thinking ok, launches are getting a little bit tiring, so you can't imagine doing more and more. And so, that's why this strategy of building evergreen, and also doing launches is the best way to take things to a whole other level, where you can bring in clients 365 days out of the year."

"The things we used to think were soft skills are actually the hard skills. There is no reason for anyone to ever yell at someone during a business meeting. Kindness is the foundation for a successful big company. We've been tricked, nice guys and nice girls don't finish last, we finish first. We are misunderstanding the opportunities that people have in the new digital World, and unless we build this kind of organizations we're not gonna get people to apply."

I invested in Garyvee's Veefriends NFT project, and one of the tokens I acquired is called FaceTime Fox, which entitles me to a yearly 5 minute call 1 on 1 with Gary, for three years. Today I got to claim my first one, and this interview is the result of it! 

During this episode we covered...

• Gary's biggest takeaway from Twelve And A Half, his new book

• And much more!

Over the past two weeks I've been participating in two very different launches! First, Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi's Own Your Future Challenge, a 5-day virtual event focused on showing you how to become a part of the self-education industry, by creating your own online courses! During the challenge they launched their new program, Project Next, which you're invited to check out! Go to http://carolinaslink.com  and check out my bonus for you here: https://www.carolinasevent.com/projectnext  Registrations to Project Next close on May 20th at midnight Pacific Time.

I was invited to be their affiliate and it has been a huge learning experience for me! And in today's podcast I share with you some of those learnings I got from this amazing experience. 

The second launch I've been participating on but more as a customer is Gary Vaynerchuk's NFT launch of his new project called Veefriends! If you know anything about crypto, then you might know what NFT's are (non-fungible tokens). I've invested in three so far and I'm eye-ing my fourth. 

I've known Garyvee for a very long time, so I know he's in for the long run, and this could turn out to be a very profitable investment. But on top of that, the NFT's are tickets to his upcoming networking event Veecon! You can learn more at veefriends.com
