Hacking The Chaos

Beliefs are passed down from generation to generation 

In this episode, Candice and Faith discuss how to uncover dodgy beliefs that are smuggled into your mindset and wreaking havoc in your world. Our beliefs affect everything in our lives, including our business, but we may not even know it. Listen in as they give tips and examples of how to distinguish your beliefs from one handed down. 

Are you making decisions based on your beliefs or someone else's?

As we navigate through our lives and create our business we tend to "do" things as we were taught... either by our families, friends relationships, jobs, experiences, etc. Leaving us holding the bag as to "why" we did *whatever we did* like we did. Whether it's our go to phrases... our "way" of doing certain things... how we act... even down to our thought process. Our beliefs impact us on so many levels... wouldn't it be great if you could distinguish between your beliefs and those imposed on you?

So go ahead and listen in as we dissect belief patterns and Enjoy the show!

To communicate daily or not... that IS the question. 

In this episode, Faith and Candice discuss some heavy hitters who make their livings off daily emails whereas other people only send emails when they are selling something. When doing business online, there is always an extra layer to knock down in order to get people to trust you. Building conversations need to be done every day; not just when you want to sell something. Communication is vital in EVERY relationship... not just the "in person" ones.

Free content and transparency will help you market for longevity.

Candices' patience runs thin as she's expected to navigate multiple landing pages to get a "free" optin. Only to get frustrated and abandon the mission. Who needs that hassle? If it's a free optin then don't make people work for the damn thing... just give 'em what they want!

So have a listen and enjoy the show! Episode Outline:

• [01:00] When to email your clients
• [04:20] Consistency + tonality
• [06:25] Navigating all the landing pages
• [08:15] Treat others the way you want to be treated
• [09:00] When people unsubscribe, it is good for business!
• [11:15] Twelve touchpoints

What zone are you in? 

In this episode, Candice & Faith, chuckle about their path to specialization and their laugh-out-loud techniques and skills for how you too can get out of the friend zone and into the "hot" zone.

The shallows will swallow you whole

Being just okay at a lot of different things is a shallow way to live your life. Specializing and being spectacular at one thing of value to the marketplace will create a successful career. Once you specialize in one aspect, that opens up options to specialize in the next element and allows you to become a brilliant business owner.

What's your bat signal? 

As Candice and Faith discuss the battle of entrepreneurship and living the laptop lifestyle... i.e. being able to choose your own schedule and be your own boss... they realized they actually had to do the damn work and provide a service! They also realized they needed to learn how to market, set up a website, and talk to people over the phone. But the main thing they needed to figure out was what their bat signal going to be... 

So listen in and enjoy the show! Episode Outline:

• [02:30] I don't want to be on social media all day!
• [06:00] Bat signals
• [09:30] Having one path is ideal
• [11:10] Building relationships with business owners
• [12:50] Content creation
• [16:55] Running Facebook ads
• [20:10] Specialization in your business

What are your mistakes teaching you?

The object is the way...

Stephen Larsen is key in saying this... not sure if he coined it but he does say it (quite often)... and IT. IS. COMPLETELY. TRUE.

The "thing" you're having the most trouble with (i.e. finances, significant other, mindset, social game, weight loss, public speaking, etc.) whatever it is... you must focus on that before you can move forward in life, love and business.

In this episode we're dealing with mindset and how it kicks our @ss and knocks us down but then how we get back up, dust ourselves off and get back to it.

You just gotta give them to stay engaged and keep coming back for more... even if you're not quite sure what you're doing or even what you're offering. Just keep going and don't quit!

Creating the ULTIMATE "stack" 

In this episode, Candice & Faith take a detour to "Stackville" and discuss how to dominate the competition with the least amount of sweat equity. Sounds like a workout... (it's not, promise!)

Money LOVES Speed 

When you start something it's slow and time-consuming and arduous and just hard! You have to learn the ins and outs of whatever it is you're learning but... when you finally get the hang of it? When you finally know what you're doing then, my friend, you're able to capitalize on it. 

Learning isn't linear   

Most beginning entrepreneurs think, at least for me, that you learn what you need to know in sequential order. But that's rarely ever the case. You pick and pull from everyone you're listening to and surrounding yourself with to create yourself and your business persona. Take a listen to who helped shape us... Might just surprise you.

The "money pit" game... 

Candice & Faith discuss the "money pit" side of freelancing... aka the learning side, and the various ways to shell out cash to learn all the secrets (according to my FB feed anyway). ;)

Buying vs. Investing 

A big difference between these two in regards to you and your business and the products you consume... Can you define each one? Do you know the reasoning and implications behind each one? Welp, you'll just have to listen to find out what we think of each one...

Everything we are and will become is a tiny, little choice we made previously... 

Candice & Faith talk candidly about motivation, lack of motivation to be exact, and their tips on how they overcome it and how you can to... even when it feels like you just wanna throw in the towel. Always remember you're just one tiny choice away from a brand new outcome. 

Fear should NEVER define you... Only guide you toward greatness. 

Fear, if you let it, will completely immobilize you... effectively stopping you in your tracks. But only if you let it. Jack Canfield states it best..."Everything you want is on the other side of fear". So push past that fear and conquer your dreams. :) 

"Adjust the sails" is a better alternative to quitting.    

Because let's face it... sometimes an idea or path isn't the best way for you and your business so instead of quitting try "adjusting the sails" and find a different path toward your destination (whatever that is). If you just quit then you'll live with regret and fear like the stench of a nasty fart that just won't go away. Who wants that? Find out how to keep that image at bay by listening in... ;)

We ALWAYS walk a fine line between "scammy" and "successful" 

Is your message hitting the mark? Or is it thrown in the trash because it "feels" scammy? Or worse yet... reported to FB police!

In this episode, Candice and Faith tackle the fine line between crafting a successful, well thought out Facebook ad and a scammy ripoff one

Not every ad will be successful... 

The wording at the beginning of your ad is crucial... even more so than the image itself sometimes. It's the tidbit of info that will make them click the link or scroll on past. So making sure you know your target audience is especially key.     

Does the apple fall far from the tree?    

During this episode we discuss a FB ad that Candice really *resonated* with. But does this one ad represent the creator completely? We'll discuss our thoughts and go deep into the why as well. We might even ruffle a few feathers as well. Who knows... ;)

Episode Outline:

[1:21] It "smelled" bad.  

[4:09] Google's big problem

[7:01] Voodoo good... or voodoo bad?  

[11:10] Were we the target audience? 

[13:35] Throwing yourself under the bus? 

[17:39] I can see you
