Summary
We all have slumps but in our lives and in our businesses and Jordan and I are no different. At least once a quarter I am in tears wanting to burn it all down. But, what I keep going back to during hard times is today's topic: facts. Data is what we as business owners should always go back to rather than relying on our feelings. DM me for the tracker I mention in today's episode and I promise the hard times pass.

| 0:00.0 | Every entrepreneur goes through training season. Your job isn't to feel perfect. Your job is to find the constraint, fix the constraint, and keep going. |
| 0:08.7 | Hello, y'all. Welcome back to the podcast. So I have something good for you today. Full transparency, what I've been doing recently, guys, with podcast episodes, is going off of an IFCA or legacy or seven figure mastermind, one of our support calls that I host. And I look at the transcript and I go, what did I talk about? Because every time I sit down to record, you know, I'm like, there's so many things I can talk about what I want to talk about. And sometimes my brain just goes blank. I'm like, I know I know things. What I want to talk about. So what I've been doing is just going and pulling stuff from that. And so if you're a coach who does coaching calls, like group calls, or hell, you can even do this with your individual client calls, you can take that transcript, put it right into, you can use chat, GPT, but we have a couple AI tools, Jan and Lexi, Well, Jan is for your offer, but Lexi is for content |
| 0:56.5 | that you could use that's already like program with how to create good content. You can create |
| 1:00.6 | podcast outlines or long form content directly from that stuff. So I've been doing a lot of that. |
| 1:05.7 | So what you're getting is real time, how we're coaching our students. And so this was a call |
| 1:09.8 | that I took instead of our legacy |
| 1:13.0 | mastermind. So you know what? I'll just dive kind of right into the episode and you'll, |
| 1:16.7 | you'll see. But these are real problems that we're dealing with today that business owners |
| 1:20.9 | are dealing with. Hell, but I even still deal, still deal with 13 years in entrepreneurship. |
| 1:26.1 | And gosh, I don't know, 50 million dollars in revenue. |
| 1:29.6 | Like these things, they still come up. So you will probably resonate here today. If you've |
| 1:34.1 | ever had a stretch in business where you feel like, man, nothing is working. I keep getting |
| 1:38.3 | off sales calls. People keep saying no. Clients are keep dropping off and you're starting to just |
| 1:42.3 | think like, should I just burn this whole thing down and start over? I been there I was there last week I was you know I get it and I can |
| 1:50.1 | promise you this your feelings around that are really real but they're not always facts and if you |
| 1:54.8 | let feelings run your business you're going to make emotional decisions that cost you a lot more |
| 1:58.9 | than a slow month is going to cost you. |
| 2:05.6 | So today I want to show you how to get out of a sales slump or a business slump or whatever we're dealing with by separating facts from feelings and then running your business through the exact |
| 2:10.6 | tool that we teach our students to use the data constraints tracker. So this is how you look at |
| 2:15.4 | facts. This is the system that's going to show you if you actually have a problem. |
| 2:19.3 | And if you do, then it'll show you exactly where the problem is. |
| 2:23.3 | Then business becomes easy because then you just focus on that thing. |
