In business it can be hard to see how all of the little wins add up to big wins. I want you to stop treadmilling on zero with your business and add up all of the sales and wins that you’ve had for the calendar year. So when someone stops you and asks how it is going, you KNOW how it is going. You are left guessing, leaving doubt in the other person’s mind that you know what you are doing. It can hurt your thought process too if you constantly feel like you aren’t making money or enough money. Stop looking for that home run when it comes to sales and success (whatever success looks like to you). I will talk about success in an upcoming episode!
On a side note, I hope you are all enjoying these mini episodes that I am publishing to YouTube. Please let me know what you think in the comments or shoot me an email. 🙂

00:00:00,380 –> 00:00:08,570
everybody i think i just started Ava I’m
Joe Pardo and this is ava and today I
00:00:08,570 –> 00:00:15,349
want to talk about tread milling on 0
and what I mean by that is if you’re in
00:00:15,349 –> 00:00:18,890
a business you’re trying to start a
00:00:19,429 –> 00:00:22,819
hey my trying to run i’m trying to sell
these books or I’m trying to sell these
00:00:22,819 –> 00:00:28,849
products and you get in the mindset of
like and I’ve been there of like I’m
00:00:28,849 –> 00:00:34,490
treadmill 10 i’m not making any money
even though I you you something we’re
00:00:34,490 –> 00:00:38,750
going through these ups and downs like
hey I’m selling a book i think of books
00:00:38,750 –> 00:00:41,570
a great example because when you’re
selling the server like you’re some
00:00:41,570 –> 00:00:45,800
really really expensive services
sometimes it’s it’s like hey well it’s a
00:00:45,800 –> 00:00:49,970
thousand-dollar service well that’s a
thousand dollars that’s awesome but if
00:00:49,970 –> 00:00:53,600
you’re looking at it something from like
a book standard words like i’m only
00:00:53,600 –> 00:00:58,310
making like three dollars per block or
five dollars per book you know when
00:00:58,310 –> 00:01:02,480
you’re when you get lost in the weeds of
everything you’re like oh man at the end
00:01:02,480 –> 00:01:06,109
of the year you like I didn’t make any
money and and sometimes it’s because we
00:01:06,109 –> 00:01:10,68
have this this idea in our heads that
were we need to make a million dollars
00:01:10,69 –> 00:01:14,450
or maybe not a million but like 30,000
40,000 50,000 something that could
00:01:14,450 –> 00:01:18,409
replace what our turn jobs or current
positions or whatever we’re currently
00:01:18,409 –> 00:01:24,79
doing to bring in money is but we need
to stop treadmilling on 0 because just
00:01:24,79 –> 00:01:27,589
because we’re not making that that
number all at once we don’t like to put
00:01:27,590 –> 00:01:28,969
00:01:28,969 –> 00:01:32,298
I got hundreds and hundreds of people
downloading this book i’m making three
00:01:32,299 –> 00:01:37,340
dollars a person and I’m and I’m ready
to make it all right Ava I’m ready to
00:01:37,340 –> 00:01:41,869
make all this money happen i’m gonna
quit my job and quit when i’m doing and
00:01:41,869 –> 00:01:45,289
and boom we’re just gonna sell these
books from now on just because that
00:01:45,289 –> 00:01:47,389
00:01:47,389 –> 00:01:51,740
I mean obviously you know success
doesn’t happen overnight but my point is
00:01:51,740 –> 00:01:55,818
is that just because you’re not getting
that that instant gratification of like
00:01:55,819 –> 00:02:01,99
boom $10,000 20 40 50 a million dollars
00:02:01,99 –> 00:02:04,909
yeah a million dollars just not getting
that doesn’t mean you’re making zero
00:02:04,909 –> 00:02:08,360
dollars so when someone goes and says
hey joe are you making any money doing
00:02:08,360 –> 00:02:09,290
00:02:09,289 –> 00:02:13,609
the answer is yes I need to look at how
much it is you don’t always have to know
00:02:13,610 –> 00:02:17,480
exactly how much it is especially if
it’s not your only source of income on
00:02:17,480 –> 00:02:21,350
but it’s it’s it’s great so at the end
of the year when you look back at it
00:02:21,350 –> 00:02:28,579
look at the end of my second while 2015
I looked back and people like Joe did
00:02:28,580 –> 00:02:33,830
you make any money and I’m like I don’t
feel like I made any money but i did me
00:02:33,830 –> 00:02:35,90
00:02:35,90 –> 00:02:39,920
that wasn’t there before the fact now
this year I’m gonna make I’m standard
00:02:39,920 –> 00:02:44,420
generate a lot more than that like for
three or four times more than that but
00:02:44,420 –> 00:02:47,869
it all started with this idea that you
are in your head you’re not making sales
00:02:47,870 –> 00:02:48,860
00:02:48,860 –> 00:02:53,510
get off that number 0 get on to the idea
that you are making money and you are
00:02:53,510 –> 00:02:55,970
doing what it is that you love to do
00:02:55,970 –> 00:03:00,859
how you love to do it and that’s so so
important for happiness right Ava are
00:03:00,860 –> 00:03:02,30
00:03:02,30 –> 00:03:07,760
yeah of course she is because she’s
doing what she enjoys and I’m doing what
00:03:07,760 –> 00:03:11,000
I’m enjoy and that is what matters the
00:03:11,600 –> 00:03:17,540
not money it’s time and energy and how
we spend it any way stop tried meddling
00:03:17,540 –> 00:03:21,290
on zero figure out what it is if you
haven’t figured out mid-september now
00:03:21,290 –> 00:03:25,459
it’s a great top time to at least get an
idea of how much money you’ve made with
00:03:25,459 –> 00:03:29,570
your efforts and see if it’s working see
if you need to change course a little
00:03:29,570 –> 00:03:33,410
bit or that word that I know Dave
Jackson hates school podcasting calm by
00:03:33,410 –> 00:03:40,549
the way pivot but yet maybe you needed
to go change directions or just just a
00:03:40,549 –> 00:03:46,280
little bit just how you’re going and
figure figure out that you know what I’m
00:03:46,280 –> 00:03:50,690
not traveling on zero i’m actually
making it happen i’m making my dreams
00:03:50,690 –> 00:03:52,970
come true thanks for listening
00:03:52,970 –> 00:03:55,310
