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. 🙂

Have a magical  weekend!

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

2
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

3
00:00:15,349 –> 00:00:18,890
a business you’re trying to start a
business or you’re just

4
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

5
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

6
00:00:28,849 –> 00:00:34,490
treadmill 10 i’m not making any money
even though I you you something we’re

7
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

8
00:00:38,750 –> 00:00:41,570
a great example because when you’re
selling the server like you’re some

9
00:00:41,570 –> 00:00:45,800
really really expensive services
sometimes it’s it’s like hey well it’s a

10
00:00:45,800 –> 00:00:49,970
thousand-dollar service well that’s a
thousand dollars that’s awesome but if

11
00:00:49,970 –> 00:00:53,600
you’re looking at it something from like
a book standard words like i’m only

12
00:00:53,600 –> 00:00:58,310
making like three dollars per block or
five dollars per book you know when

13
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

14
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

15
00:01:06,109 –> 00:01:10,68
have this this idea in our heads that
were we need to make a million dollars

16
00:01:10,69 –> 00:01:14,450
or maybe not a million but like 30,000
40,000 50,000 something that could

17
00:01:14,450 –> 00:01:18,409
replace what our turn jobs or current
positions or whatever we’re currently

18
00:01:18,409 –> 00:01:24,79
doing to bring in money is but we need
to stop treadmilling on 0 because just

19
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

20
00:01:27,590 –> 00:01:28,969
this book out BAM

21
00:01:28,969 –> 00:01:32,298
I got hundreds and hundreds of people
downloading this book i’m making three

22
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

23
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

24
00:01:41,869 –> 00:01:45,289
and boom we’re just gonna sell these
books from now on just because that

25
00:01:45,289 –> 00:01:47,389
doesn’t happen overnight

26
00:01:47,389 –> 00:01:51,740
I mean obviously you know success
doesn’t happen overnight but my point is

27
00:01:51,740 –> 00:01:55,818
is that just because you’re not getting
that that instant gratification of like

28
00:01:55,819 –> 00:02:01,99
boom $10,000 20 40 50 a million dollars
able waiver

29
00:02:01,99 –> 00:02:04,909
yeah a million dollars just not getting
that doesn’t mean you’re making zero

30
00:02:04,909 –> 00:02:08,360
dollars so when someone goes and says
hey joe are you making any money doing

31
00:02:08,360 –> 00:02:09,290
what you’re doing

32
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

33
00:02:13,610 –> 00:02:17,480
exactly how much it is especially if
it’s not your only source of income on

34
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

35
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

36
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

37
00:02:33,830 –> 00:02:35,90
ten grand

38
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

39
00:02:39,920 –> 00:02:44,420
generate a lot more than that like for
three or four times more than that but

40
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

41
00:02:47,870 –> 00:02:48,860
every single day

42
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

43
00:02:53,510 –> 00:02:55,970
doing what it is that you love to do

44
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

45
00:03:00,860 –> 00:03:02,30
you a happy kid

46
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

47
00:03:07,760 –> 00:03:11,000
I’m enjoy and that is what matters the
most

48
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

49
00:03:17,540 –> 00:03:21,290
on zero figure out what it is if you
haven’t figured out mid-september now

50
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

51
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

52
00:03:29,570 –> 00:03:33,410
bit or that word that I know Dave
Jackson hates school podcasting calm by

53
00:03:33,410 –> 00:03:40,549
the way pivot but yet maybe you needed
to go change directions or just just a

54
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

55
00:03:46,280 –> 00:03:50,690
not traveling on zero i’m actually
making it happen i’m making my dreams

56
00:03:50,690 –> 00:03:52,970
