Let’s head into the studio now with our hostess with the Mostess, Carol J. Dunlop.
00:00:34:06 – 00:00:54:16
Unknown
Hey, everyone, and welcome back. I’m Carol J. Dunlop, your online wow strategist. And I’m here again with another great episode. And this time I have one of my newly favorite people with me, Lisa Bagans. Lisa is going to talk about getting back your time or actually redeeming your time.
00:00:54:21 – 00:01:12:28
Unknown
Then we all need to do that. Get our time back. I can’t wait to get into it. So. But before that, let’s talk about funnels. Since this is the perfect time for you to put a funnel into place. You know Black Friday is coming up next week,
00:01:12:28 – 00:01:19:23
Unknown
so this is a perfect time for you to get all your stuff together so that you can make the money that you want on Black Friday weekend.
00:01:19:25 – 00:01:40:00
Unknown
I call it Black Friday weekend because I’ll actually start on Thursday night and then it continues on Friday. Then there’s Small Business Saturday. There’s sell something Sunday, there’s Cyber Monday, and then there’s given Tuesday. So you got a whole window of about like 5 or 6 days that you can sell stuff that you can even give back. So you need to get your funnels in place.
00:01:40:00 – 00:02:03:09
Unknown
So you’re not just selling that one little thing, but you’re selling a range of products. Are you selling a lot of stuff over this holiday weekend? So I’ve got this special thing for you and it’s called Free to Upsell. So it’s my masterclass that I did in the on marketing Academy. And what it does, it takes you from having a freebie because that’s how you get people on your list.
00:02:03:09 – 00:02:20:57
Unknown
You have a freebie, you set that up. It’s called you can you may hear it called a lead magnet or ethical bribe or what is an opt in. And so you have that and you give them something that they would otherwise pay for. You have it for free. Now know you got a plethora of things you can do.
00:02:20:57 – 00:02:42:11
Unknown
So figure out something that you can put out there for free. I mean, I’m not telling you to give a $500 program away, although you can and I have done that. But the thing is, when they get that free thing they want, you want them to go to a thank you page that is also an upsell page. So the thank you page sister says thank you for downloading this.
00:02:42:11 – 00:02:59:11
Unknown
Thank you for getting this or whatever it is. And then it offers them something that they need to pay money for. Studies have shown and proven over the years that if a person spends at least $1 with you, they’ll probably spend more. So I did this class
00:02:59:11 – 00:03:18:20
Unknown
all on that. Free to upsell is what I call it, and it’ll take you all the way from setting up your freebie, setting up your thank you page, thank you upsell page, and then showing them a one time offer that’s not available anywhere else so that they can spend some more money with you.
00:03:18:26 – 00:03:29:14
Unknown
Right. Because if people know you, like you, trust you, they’re going to want to spend money with you. And why not offer them the opportunity when they’re right there? They have their wallets open and they’re ready to go.
00:03:29:14 – 00:03:42:11
Unknown
So you can go to UN markets or business.com/3 free two. The number two upsell on market to business.com/free the number two upsell altogether.
00:03:42:11 – 00:04:00:24
Unknown
One more thing. And you can get that for only $97. And guess what else you get. You get two months access into the UN Marketing academy. Which means you get to see all the videos, all the other quarterly trainings that I’ve done. You get access to all the goodness that’s there. So go ahead and get that.
00:04:00:24 – 00:04:00:50
Unknown
All right.
00:04:00:50 – 00:04:02:17
Unknown
Is tech time right
00:04:02:17 – 00:04:21:23
Unknown
now. And our tech time for this week is Calendly. Calendly is a system that I’ve used for about I’d say five years now. I love Calendly because it stocks all that back and forth stuff when you’re trying to get someone to schedule with you, so you know how you do it. Hey, how are you doing?
00:04:21:23 – 00:04:41:21
Unknown
I love to find out more about you. Okay, great. When are you available? How about Tuesday at three? No. And then this is probably a couple days. Well, what about Monday? For what about Thursday at 12 noon? You know, all that going back and forth, you can redeem your time. Get your time back by using Calendly and sending them that link.
00:04:41:26 – 00:05:06:00
Unknown
And then they can pick out which day and time is right for them. I use it for everything I’m booking for, whether it’s a virtual coffee, whether it’s looking at a program or maybe it’s even a podcast interview, I use it for all of that, and it helps to knock out all that back and forth stuff. So go ahead and get your Calendly just go to calendar Live.com and sign up.
00:05:06:05 – 00:05:30:55
Unknown
I think they give you ten days or 14 days free just to try it out. Then after that it’s only like $15 a month. But I’m telling you that $15 a month will definitely, you’ll make it back in your within your first two things that you schedule. All right. So without any further ado, let’s check on Lisa Figgins and go and talk with her in the studio right now.
00:05:30:55 – 00:05:56:03

Okay, now we’re in the studio with my new friend and new person that is helping me to get my time together. Get myself together? Melissa figgins. And I’m going to bring her on now. I’m going to ask her to tell her, tell a little bit about herself so we can get to know her, and then we’re going to get right into this thing.
00:08:06:21 – 00:08:09:44
Unknown
So y’all hold on to your hat, because we going in right now.
00:08:09:44 – 00:08:24:49
Unknown
Hey, Lissa, how are you? I’m good. Carol, thank you so much for inviting me into your studio today. Oh. You’re welcome. So why don’t you go ahead and get it started and tell the audience you know who you serve about yourself. Whatever you want us to know about you.
00:08:24:59 – 00:08:53:19
Unknown
Sure. So my name is Lissa Figgins. It’s Melissa without the me. Because it’s not about me. That’s how you can remember it. I am the one time management strategist for busy Christian women business owners who want to increase the ROI in their time. Because, let’s be honest, a lot of us are running from morning till night and well past sun, going down, doing a lot of things, but not always seen the ROI that we’re looking for and that we’re praying for.
00:08:53:19 – 00:09:15:18
Unknown
And I was the poster child for busy and checking boxes and multitasking to the max, and thinking that I had all of my time management squared away, and it actually ended up leading to, not only a health issue, but also, you know, it affecting every area of my life, my relationships, my business, you know, my health, like I said.
00:09:15:18 – 00:09:36:05
Unknown
And so I am really passionate around helping women, specifically Christian women who are business owners, because we take on this extra responsibility to really shift how we approach time and do it in such a way that we’re not working like the world does. But we’re doing it God’s way and with him and seeing what I call the kingdom kind of results.
00:09:36:09 – 00:09:46:07
Unknown
I love that, and I can so, like, resonate with all you just said. I did a podcast earlier today as a matter of fact,
00:09:46:07 – 00:09:56:08
Unknown
and we were talking about, people who are who are you and citizens who have traveled, who are doing their business outside of the US, you know, global and taking our business global and all that.
00:09:56:13 – 00:09:59:02
Unknown
And one thing that we have learned is that
00:09:59:02 – 00:10:29:38
Unknown
the US is the problem or we are the problem. It’s not everybody else. It’s like the whole the whole world operates on something else besides what we operate on. And then we’re like, get over that. What’s wrong with them? So I can definitely relate with you too. You, when you’re talking about time management and running from A to B, A to Z, Z to F and not knowing where you are, I’m kind of feeling a little bit a little bit like that right now, because I’m not in my element.
00:10:29:42 – 00:10:49:16
Unknown
I am making it work at work out, you know, because that’s how we do. Right? But, you know, I feel like I’m calming. I’m okay. And just being here with you in this space, we’re going to share some things about how to redeem your time and how I think, how it’s not all your fault that your time is crazy, right?
00:10:49:29 – 00:11:13:09
Unknown
Right. Yeah. We’re living in a country right now where siesta is the norm. Yes. Back here in the States, you know, like, who has time for a nap? When there’s so much work to be done and, you know, so many of us are staying up, like I said, all hours of the night getting up early and, you know, trying to produce something or respond to something or do something literally every minute of our day.
00:11:13:09 – 00:11:31:21
Unknown
And we wonder why we’re stressed out, worn out, burned out. I mean, all right, things are going to hurt, right? Yeah, yeah. We wonder like, oh, what’s happening now? Why do I have this ache? Well, you know, why can’t my brain function is because, you know, we’re trying to do too much in the little time we have, because all of us only have 24 hours.
00:11:31:21 – 00:11:54:32
Unknown
Whether we want to admit it or not, there’s no 25th hour or even 24.5 hours. Right. So let’s go ahead. Now I’m going to say let’s let’s jump this off because this podcast is about, marketing strategies, which you are one of them. Girlfriend, I heard you when your introduction was on Time management I love it. Yeah. Join the ungroup.
00:11:54:36 – 00:12:19:29
Unknown
So we are talking about these strategies that can help get traffic to your website. So the first question I want to ask you is how do you get traffic to your website? You know, I love this question. Because I will tell you how I tried to do it. That didn’t work, and that was doing all the things right, like I was trying to be everywhere at all times and offer something to everyone.
00:12:19:34 – 00:12:39:20
Unknown
In fact, at one point in my business, I started off in health coaching and I said, if you have hair, skin and I digestive system, I can help you. I thought that was smart marketing because I thought, wow, look at this. I can work with anyone on the planet. And what I didn’t know is I was number one, fading into the same sea of sameness I call it.
00:12:39:24 – 00:13:01:15
Unknown
I was plain vanilla, right? I was just, you know, I wasn’t really speaking out in such a way that people heard me. And so. Right. What I’ve learned to do, instead of trying to be everywhere and everything and doing everything, is the power of one. And one of the things that I talk around, time that also relates to this question about, you know, bringing people to our website is multitasking.
00:13:01:20 – 00:13:24:33
Unknown
You know, so we’re trying to be, you know, and multiple platforms doing, offering multiple things, working with multiple best clients and all these things. Nobody really knows for sure what we do. And guess why it, you know, a confused mind does nothing and scroll so that, you know, you know, let’s dance. Hey. Yeah. Through what I’ve learned is that, you know, we think I think especially, you know, as a woman, we think my superpower is multitasking.
00:13:24:33 – 00:13:41:48
Unknown
You know, I can do all these things at once and, you know, and really knock out some things with my with my time and in my business. And yet when we try to multitask and we try to be all things to all people and be everywhere, we end up diluting ourselves. It’s like Kryptonite was the Superman, right? Like it weakens him.
00:13:41:48 – 00:14:06:23
Unknown
And I think it weakens our focus. So how does this time in my website traffic is, I finally learned to let go of trying to do all the things for all the people, and got really crystal clear on the one, what I call the power of one, right? The one person that I serve, the one transformation that I help them get, and the one, you know, offer that I have that is bringing her into, Brainerd, this transformation.
00:14:06:23 – 00:14:20:05
Unknown
And so when you come to me, when you hear me on a podcast, or when you see me on social, it’s very clear. And what I found is that clarity drives people that they’re willing to take that next step because. Yes. Oh my goodness, she’s talking to me.
00:14:20:05 – 00:14:32:08
Unknown
And I think of all the time that I wasted doing all these things, trying to be everywhere and talk to everyone and say, you know, it wasn’t effective because people didn’t have any idea what I was doing and if this was for them.
00:14:32:08 – 00:14:52:05
Unknown
And so I think that’s the biggest thing. It’s really simplifying and streamlining to what your ones are, and then making sure it’s really clear when they land their, that they’re in the right place. I love that, and that is so true because we can’t serve more than one. You know, even the Bible says you can’t serve God and mammon.
00:14:52:05 – 00:15:13:20
Unknown
You gotta make a choice. There has to be a choice in there. And for a long time, I struggled myself. You know, we offer web design services. We, started offering marketing services because we knew that our people needed them. But my whole thing was, how do I put the website design and marketing? And it was kind of convoluted and not necessarily all that great.
00:15:13:25 – 00:15:34:23
Unknown
And then, you know, God always puts people in your life that can help you do things that you don’t think that you can do. So I joined this, like web design group, a wonderful coach, Josh Hall, and it’s called Web Design Pro. All these web designers from all over the world, very diverse community. And he helped me with one thing.
00:15:34:30 – 00:15:59:24
Unknown
It was it was just like in the first, I don’t know, a week or so of being in that group. He said something and I’m like, wow, I have the answer now. So I went to my website, tweaked everything, and now when you come to the website, you clearly know that we do website design. But we also help you do help you protect your website back with web maintenance so it doesn’t go down and we show you how to market it.
00:15:59:38 – 00:16:18:02
Unknown
And I was like, hanging, where is this been? All my life I’ve been trying to do this, but sometimes I think we just look at the whole look at all the things we’re looking at with ads on social media. I gotta go here. I gotta go there. How can I get people? But now, just because of that, that little, those little tweaks, we’re seeing more traffic.
00:16:18:14 – 00:16:36:11
Unknown
We’re getting more clients. Oh, the word is getting out there even more. I mean, we’ve been in this business for a long time, but, you know, it’s not been like when somebody can come to your website and go, hey, I know exactly what you do. And that’s what I need, or I know exactly what you do or not quite interested.
00:16:36:18 – 00:17:01:52
Unknown
And that was what I was teaching my clients. And it looks funny. We can do that for our clients all day, every day, 20 473 65 but we can’t do it for ourselves for some reason. Sometimes we’re just way too close to the situation to be able to see it, right? That is true. That is true. So I just want to say that as a thumbs up to coaches and people getting coaches and coaches getting coaches, okay, what you are, if you’re a coach, you need a coach.
00:17:02:04 – 00:17:19:32
Unknown
If you are a strategist, you need a coach. If you’re a whatever you are, you need a coach. Because like I said, you’re too close to the problem. You can’t see it and you think you’re seeing it. You think you can solve your own time management problems, which you’re going to get into it just a second, but you really can because you’re like, oh, I’m doing okay.
00:17:19:43 – 00:17:25:42
Unknown
Why do I need to change anything? And then somebody gives you one little piece of nugget thing and you’re like,
00:17:25:42 – 00:17:40:02
Unknown
oh my God, you just you just dropped a bomb on me, right? You know, nothing thing I’ve gotten comments about to when people show up to the my website is they’re like, you’re the same person here is you are on your podcast as you are in the community as you are.
00:17:40:02 – 00:18:01:11
Unknown
And so I think that cohesive brand is really a yes as well, visually as well as in your messaging. And, you know, like, oh, I already know her. I already know what she does. I’m in the right place. This feels comfortable. This feels the same as where I interacted with her before. And I think that really not only to bring people to your website, but to keep them there, because I think that’s the next challenge, right?
00:18:01:11 – 00:18:10:57
Unknown
We can get there, but how are we engaging them and keeping them? They’re such that they’re staying. And, you know, right now they’re saying that our attention span is less than a goldfish, which is
00:18:10:57 – 00:18:22:01
Unknown
very long. So we have to make sure that, yeah, that visibly as well as verbally, we’re really communicating clearly and keeping them on our website once they arrive.
00:18:22:06 – 00:18:42:51
Unknown
Yeah. And getting them to convert to whatever we’re telling them to do, because we have to be the people that they’re listening to. We’re in control. So when they land on our site, we take control. We don’t allow them just to roam around or whatever we say, okay, go here, download this, go here, watch that. And I think that’s one of the things that people kind of get confused a little bit.
00:18:42:51 – 00:19:05:34
Unknown
No, we are in control. We tell you what to do and if they don’t want to do that, then they go away. But the people who want direction, because isn’t that why we’re out on the website in the first place? We want our questions answered. We need to get some kind of direction going on. And if you are the person who is in control and works and you tell them, do this, this and this and they do it, you got a client for life, I would say, yeah.
00:19:05:36 – 00:19:28:40
Unknown
So now I want to transition into this time management thing, which we all can’t seem to get a handle on, or I couldn’t seem to get a handle on before, but now I think I’m doing much better. I think one of the keys is to just breathe. You know, when you breathe, when you breathe, you actually put oxygen into your body, into your lungs, into your whole soul.
00:19:28:45 – 00:19:34:14
Unknown
And that oxygen, that good, fresh, pure oxygen is really helping you to calm down and to think
00:19:34:14 – 00:19:48:48
Unknown
that. Yeah, but other than that, I have this question for you. Why this time management not work to keep our time under control? Tell us that secret, right, right. Well, first I want to go back to something that you already shared earlier.
00:19:48:48 – 00:20:10:47
Unknown
And that is we all get 24 hours in a day. So I say time is our number one equalizer, but it’s also the number one differentiator because how we approach it is what’s going to differentiate what the results are. The ROI, right? Right. Where we are right now is the results good, bad or indifferent of the choices we made, you know, and with our time up until now.
00:20:11:00 – 00:20:26:16
Unknown
Right. And where we will be will be also the result of the choices that we make. And the beautiful thing is that in every moment in front of us, we have we have a choice. So here’s the problem. I think so many of us think that time management is the solution, and then we wonder why it’s not working right.
00:20:26:16 – 00:20:53:16
Unknown
Like you just said, so often we’ve done that and that’s why I was doing two. I had all my time blocks lined up, I had my checklists organized, I had all these things in place, and yet it wasn’t working. And the more that I’ve really worked not only seen what happened in my life, in business, but also in speaking and working with others, I think it really comes down to this that, first of all, our busyness, our time issues are not just due to a disordered calendar.
00:20:53:16 – 00:21:10:37
Unknown
I believe they’re due to a disorder of hearts. Right? We’re not distracted by all kinds of things. You know, we’re our hearts and minds and hands, and we’re going in every which direction. And we wonder why it feels like we don’t have time. So I think we’re what what time management does is it just kind of masks the problem.
00:21:10:42 – 00:21:29:57
Unknown
But the problem is that time management really it’s not possible because if you look up the definition of manage, it means to keep under control. To keep. Yeah. Yeah. Lined up in a box. Right. So it doesn’t do it, you know. And so what do we do as managers. Think about what the manager at or at a restaurant or a store.
00:21:29:57 – 00:21:50:25

Right. Their job is to keep those employees in line. And when there is a customer that gets out of line, they’re the one who has to deal with the crisis and things like that. So all day long, right, they’re just scurrying about that store or restaurant trying to keep everything in line. That supposed to be. Well, we all know things naturally in, you know, in the world go from order to disorder, right?
00:21:50:25 – 00:22:06:00
Unknown
Like, think about like, you know, look at the closet you clean out. That looks amazing when you finally take the time to do it. But over time, it goes right back to, you know, the way it looked or worse, and see how that happens. I know, right how the law of entropy. So it’s not your fault, right? That’s okay.
00:22:06:05 – 00:22:27:14
Unknown
You know, so what happens is we get everything lined up, but how often do things stay naturally like that? They don’t. Life happens. Right? Unexpected things come up, interruptions come up, distractions come up. And so we feel like we’re playing whac-a-mole all day long, trying to keep things, you know, put things back in learning and it’s costing.
00:22:27:19 – 00:22:47:04
Unknown
It is literally exhausting. And I feel like so many of us, myself in the past included, we are chasing time like it’s this limited resource that we have to keep under control because we are the managers of it, and if we don’t, it will get away from us and then we won’t have what we need. Right? So yeah, I really believe that it’s it is an illusion.
00:22:47:09 – 00:23:06:45
Unknown
It may feel well ordered for a time, but it’s not going to stay that way. And if we always look at our role as a manager and it’s that top down, right? I’m you’re actually putting a lid on your time and on the results of your time, because you’re having to be so heavy handed to keep things exactly like that.
00:23:06:50 – 00:23:09:26
Unknown
So. Right, which is the UN time management way,
00:23:09:26 – 00:23:11:52
Unknown
our time. And that’s with, you know, open hands.
00:23:11:52 – 00:23:24:10
Unknown
It’s a time is this beautiful abundant gift from God. The 24 hours in our day. That’s neutral. It’s what we choose to believe about it that makes a difference. Do I see that 24 as this abundant gift that I’ve been entrusted with.
00:23:24:15 – 00:23:46:39
Unknown
And if I invest it wisely with him, it will produce 3600 fold results? Or do I see that this limited resource, that it’s not enough and I’m always behind and I wish I had more of. So we start shifting our perspective around believing we do have time and that our role is to manage it, but to actually steward it, which is what redeeming the time is all about.
00:23:46:39 – 00:24:09:54
Unknown
It’s about stewarding the time that’s been given to us and investing. It’s in what’s going to bring the fruit, what’s going to bring the growth. And it seems like a subtle shift, but it it’s amazing the difference that that makes. Number one, going from I don’t have enough time to I have time right now. And from I’m a I need to be better at managing my time to how can I steward my time.
00:24:09:58 – 00:24:27:14
Unknown
I love that. I love that it gives it gives me power. Just even thinking about it right now that I have the power of managing my, doing whatever I need to do with my time. Because this is a gift and how I choose to use it. Maybe I just want to lay on this couch for a minute.
00:24:27:19 – 00:24:49:00
Unknown
Right? Okay, maybe I want to write a blog article. It’s okay, because I feel guilty when I don’t write the articles and get them out there. I don’t do the videos. I’m behind with YouTube. You know, we just go on and on and on. And I think all that negativity that we pump into our body, into our mind, into our soul kind of affects us after a while.
00:24:49:00 – 00:25:06:57
Unknown
Like we start to think, well, I’m not good enough. I didn’t get those YouTube videos done, so I don’t have enough YouTube subscribers, so I can’t make money. You know, it’s just like a a barrel rolling down the hill and we just keep thinking about it. But now you’ve given us this as a gift. It’s like, I can do what I want with my time.
00:25:07:02 – 00:25:30:21
Unknown
Yeah. I mean, I mean, you know, not enoughness. And it starts to be said, I don’t have enough time right to my doing is not enough, and then I’m not enough. And yet we’re running around telling ourselves, I don’t have time. I’m not doing enough. I’m behind. I can never get ahead. Time always gets away from me. It’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy that is exactly going to happen.
00:25:30:21 – 00:25:41:17
Unknown
And, you know, I always tell people, here’s this simple test to prove yourself that you have time. Are you ready for this? Yes. It’s kind of scary. Okay. So this is one of those I would be brave to do this. Okay. Grown.
00:25:41:17 – 00:25:44:26
Unknown
Open up your settings and your screen time.
00:25:44:26 – 00:25:44:50
Unknown
And
00:25:44:50 – 00:25:48:17
Unknown
so if you ever say I didn’t have time today,
00:25:48:17 – 00:25:51:34
Unknown
you go look at that screen and you see how much time you gave to that device.
00:25:51:34 – 00:26:21:04
Unknown
Now you and I are business owners, so I get that some of that time was probably very productive and very purposeful on that device via some, some exotic. And so, you know, so I really teach them to go, okay, in how to ask the right question around your time. So number one, you do have time. Right? But I think the problem is we’re asking the wrong question because all day long I’m picking up my phone, I’m looking at my watch, I’m looking at the clock on my computer or my wall, and I’m asking the question, what time is it?
00:26:21:08 – 00:26:35:27
Unknown
And guess how I feel when I ask that question? Or maybe you tell me, how do you feel when you’re like, what time is it? If I do that, I feel stressed like a mug. I’m telling you, I’m ready to go throw myself off somewhere because I’m like, oh my gosh, what time
00:26:35:27 – 00:26:38:02
Unknown
yes, I am, I should have already left the house.
00:26:38:02 – 00:26:54:40
Unknown
I know it’s finished. You know, it’s always that I’m behind and it’s this like, right, with no question. Ready? Okay. What is it? Time for? Oh, let me write. That’s that question. You can feel it like my shoulders just come down right.
00:26:54:40 – 00:27:08:27
Unknown
It presupposes two things there. Very subtle. But again these makes such a difference because if you don’t do these things first you can pick up the time management tools, the planners, the time blocks, the, you know, the other apps and things you have, and they’re not going to work.
00:27:08:32 – 00:27:13:05
Unknown
What, what is it time for presupposes, number one, I do have time.
00:27:13:05 – 00:27:28:51
Unknown
And number two, there’s a purpose behind the time in front of me. And now I’m being intentional as to what I’m focusing on. So back to your example. If I am so tired that my brain is starting to get foggy and I can see that things are taking me longer than they should because I just need to close my eyes for a few minutes.
00:27:28:51 – 00:27:49:00
Unknown
Then guess what? What is it time for? It is time for a nap on that couch. I know, that’s right. Yes, yes. Yeah, but I need to put this blog out, right? Because this is what I’ve committed to and this is what, you know, putting that new content on my, on my website so that it’s bringing people in or it’s the connection to the podcast or whatever it is.
00:27:49:00 – 00:28:13:05
Unknown
Right, okay. And I’m showing up and I’m doing that. I’m not answering text or messages. I’m not clicking on different links. I’m not, you know, doing the like all of that. Like I’m giving that full focus. And here’s what’s so interesting. Multitasking actually, because of the distraction that happens, it makes your task take up to 50% longer and you make 40% more mistakes.
00:28:13:09 – 00:28:39:25
Unknown
I believe that that’s why I don’t multitask. Are like, oh, I can just click do this while I’m doing this, while I’m doing this, and then I also lose track. I have lost track the minute I say that I can do this and this, and this last track track is lost and you know what? I want to say something about that we don’t prioritize what is important to us when we’re looking at what is it time for?
00:28:39:30 – 00:28:40:25
Unknown
Perfect example
00:28:40:25 – 00:28:55:51
Unknown
a client of mine yesterday. She is prepping for a webinar. It’s going to be a big webinar. You know like she’s going to sell her a new program that she has through this webinar. And I asked her I was like well how many people are coming? And she said, well,
00:28:55:51 – 00:28:58:42
Unknown
some number 10 or 12 or something are going.
00:28:58:47 – 00:29:17:43
Unknown
I was like, is that a Facebook event too? Like, yes, yes. They said they’re going, I like that’s trash. Don’t even bother with that stuff. Those people, they don’t even, you know, they never come, they never come. But you need to do is get your landing page up, put that on there and invite them to the via the landing page so they can get on your list that you talk to them.
00:29:17:48 – 00:29:20:08
Unknown
Not ten minutes later, she goes,
00:29:20:08 – 00:29:36:57
Unknown
Carol, I’m putting this chat on my website so they can download the workbook. Like what the a chat shows or what can you do? Because I do help with the website, right is you can you do like no. And you don’t need to do any of that during chat alone. You don’t need to be chatting, you know, be nothing.
00:29:36:57 – 00:29:57:18
Unknown
You need to be getting people on this list. That is the thing. What? What? I should ask her this. What is it time for? It’s time for me to get people on that list. It’s not time for you to stop and install the chat bot, or stop and do some other crazy thing. No, getting that is a priority you need to be doing if you want to sell the stuff like you say you do.
00:29:57:22 – 00:30:19:57
Unknown
Exactly right. We all. This is where I believe for business owners, time is the number one place we need to focus first. Everything essentially comes down to it, right? Because your time is out of control, whether it’s in when you’re sitting down to your business or everything else out here, you’re going to be distracting it. You’re going to be unfocused, you’re going to be randomly doing random things at random time for random reasons and get random results.
00:30:20:01 – 00:30:42:13
Unknown
Right? So like you said, it is important to know what are my priorities, what’s not something I can do? What is actually going to move the needle, you know? So for example, in what you talk about here, how do we get people to our, to our website. Right. There are a lot of you could do. But, you know, there a lot of them are not really going to fit that goal of getting people to just wasting time, you know?
00:30:42:18 – 00:31:10:17
Unknown
So I come out with some ideas. Yeah. They come out and say, oh, this is going to do this. I saw something on Facebook yesterday. Are you guys stop doing it or stop doing videos, turn everything into a podcast. And I was like, did I just see the opposite? Stop doing podcast. Start everything to a video. You can always listen to or emulate the stuff that you see that’s out there that is trying to get to you.
00:31:10:22 – 00:31:29:07
Unknown
You have to stop. You have to say and use this again. What is it time for then? Your priorities are straight. You know exactly what you need to do. You can divide up your time, but if you just oh times with this, oh, this are down to this. Oh they say do that. And then getting back to your oneness.
00:31:29:07 – 00:31:48:26
Unknown
The one thing when you figure out because you know, all of us have this thing marketing, what is it we need to do? How do we, you know, how do we get people to our website? How do we get clients? How do we get all this? We started doing all these millions of things. Well, we come down to that one straight and narrow thing that we do, and we keep doing it over and over.
00:31:48:26 – 00:32:04:04
Unknown
And some people don’t want to do stuff over and over, but that’s how you get results. You do stuff over and over. You tell people same things over and over, and then eventually they will listen and they will become clients. But that’s not it’s not you saying now people have to be exposed to us like 12 or more times a week.
00:32:04:07 – 00:32:24:06
Unknown
21 I say, oh, wow. Okay. So yeah, I mean, it’s only exponentially gone up. And here’s the truth. I want to make sure that all your listeners here today, you don’t plant seeds and harvest in the same season. Whoa. Right. There has to be time in between. Now, it’s not just I plant a couple seeds, and then I go wander away and hope that it grows on its own.
00:32:24:06 – 00:32:49:51
Unknown
There’s intention in that time in between now, to do a farmer isn’t just putting one seed in the ground and, you know, hedging all of his bets. You know, that one seed producing, you know, the kind of crop that he wants, you know, he’s he’s put in quite a bit of seed out there and he knows which fields are his to plant in, and he knows then what things to do to to nurture and, you know, and hydrate and, you know, give those seeds as they’re starting to grow.
00:32:49:51 – 00:33:08:07
Unknown
What they need. Right. And when it’s time for harvest. Right. Like he’s out there doing the work of bringing in the harvest. And so I it’s a process. It’s this instant gratification we want, you know, I’m going to do a bit more jump in in my, you know, $15,000 program. Well some people but sometimes that happens. But not most.
00:33:08:12 – 00:33:27:58
Unknown
Right. And not everyone. So it’s yeah it is, it is a little bit longer game. And sticking with that one thing long enough, I tell my, my clients, I call them CEOs, price and hammer operators of their life. They’re not given business. I’m like, make me make your CEO decisions and stick with it for at least six months.
00:33:28:11 – 00:33:48:30
Unknown
Unless God very clearly says, you know, you need to stop this. Yes. Yeah. Give it that time. You know, do a good season of growth. Yeah. Same thing in advertising and publishing. You know, if you go to any advertising place, any kind of advertising, you say, well, I want to get an advertisement in this magazine or even online doesn’t matter.
00:33:48:35 – 00:34:07:24
Unknown
They say I want a 3 to 6 month commitment. If you can’t do a 3 to 6 month commitment, don’t even talk to these people because you will have just waste your money. And then some people can just one month they get nothing because saying at one time or even seeing it in one issue is not enough. You gotta continually tell people all the time.
00:34:07:34 – 00:34:27:17
Unknown
Which brings me to this question. How does what we spend our time on as business owners affect our success? Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, again, I, I this is a love hate I have with a statement. Right. We often hear time is money. Right. And I go at the other day I was sitting down the Lord I’m like okay really?
00:34:27:17 – 00:34:46:40
Unknown
Is that true? Because the world says when they hear that, they’re like, okay, that means I gotta cram as much into my time as I can, because time is money, so I gotta get all these plates go. All these things offering all that. Yeah. Let’s, you know, more is more is better. Let go big or go home. And I really believe time is the most precious resource that he has given us.
00:34:46:45 – 00:35:08:25
Unknown
And the way in which we invest that time is a direct hit directly related to what kind of results we’re going to have. And in business, we’re looking for two things. We’re looking for impact. And then what follows impact income right. When we are making an impact and people are hearing that and they’re coming, they’re being invited into our world and whatever it is that we offer.
00:35:08:30 – 00:35:30:10
Unknown
Right. I can’t really make a full impact on someone until my business name shows up on their credit card statements. Right. Wow. Why is there just been, you know, the easy stuff or the little stuff or whatever. And there are a lot of people out there who are, you know, like you said earlier, they’re listening to every little guru or expert out there, I mean, all day long when they’re not really putting down roots.
00:35:30:15 – 00:35:47:30
Unknown
Right? Oh, yeah. So as a business owner and number one, I don’t have time to waste on a bunch of random things and, you know, and that aren’t going to work. I got a really extreme mind on where is my time going, what matters most. Because here’s the thing I don’t want to be working 24 seven either. Now I have a life.
00:35:47:30 – 00:36:09:13
Unknown
I have a family, I have ministries, and you know, other things that I want to be able to put my time into and take care of myself. Right? Yeah. So I think that’s part of it too, because of were, you know, not sleeping well. If we’re not eating well, if we’re not exercising, if we’re not getting time, you know, outside or with friends and family and things like that, we can sit down in front of that computer, but we are not going to be fully present.
00:36:09:13 – 00:36:26:00
Unknown
And so, yeah. So if you have time is the number one thing the business owners need to look at if they want to, if they want to grow and they want to scale. Right. And I think what you said about not trying to control it, but think of it as a gift and then seeing what you can do, what they get after that.
00:36:26:05 – 00:36:40:47
Unknown
Because all of us love gifts. We love to get gifts all the time. So if we look at the time as a gift, because the thing is, when you wake up in the morning, you know there’s just going to be a few more hours, so you’re going to sleep again. So what are you going to do in that middle time with this beautiful gift that you have?
00:36:40:47 – 00:37:03:23
Unknown
Can you impact some? How can you impact someone’s life? How can you take care of your own life? And excuse me, how can you be the good steward of time that God has meant you to be? Yeah, I think those are some things we need to look at me. See, you have, really calls us to go home and think about a lot of things, especially where time is concerned, where we concerned and all of that.
00:37:03:28 – 00:37:19:07
Unknown
So I know that you have a really great challenge for our audience. Please tell us about it. Yeah, I would love to do that. And first let me preface it with this. I believe there are only two responses to our time. Are you ready. Yeah. Or Faith.
00:37:19:07 – 00:37:26:53
Unknown
That the parable of the talents I call it the parable of the servants in Matthew 25 one of those servants took what he’d been given by his master.
00:37:26:53 – 00:37:44:15
Unknown
He was afraid it was going to get away. So he managed it really well by the hole in the ground and burying it. Yeah, but if we can get away. But we know that that was not the intent of the master when he came back. But those other two servants, they had faith, and they understood that their role was not to be managers.
00:37:44:15 – 00:38:00:12
Unknown
It was to be stewards. And so what did they do? They invested what they’ve been given on behalf of the master, brought back double what they did they’ve given, and then we’re entrusted with more. And so it’s really it’s not am I responding to my time out of fear or out of faith? Fear is going to manage it.
00:38:00:12 – 00:38:03:24
Unknown
Trying to keep under control, chase it, because it’s this limited resource.
00:38:03:24 – 00:38:16:04
Unknown
I’m a steward. It’s a gift. Right. And what does this look like? So, I have a, a planner, like an actual paper physical planner. Because here’s the thing. Time. Is this, like, it feels like it’s hard to make it tangible. And so I love having tangible tools.
00:38:16:12 – 00:38:32:53
Unknown
I have a planner that’s coming out in November, and one of the tools that I give to, I’ll be giving out in the planner is, an assessment around eight areas. Your life to look at how big you are. And this is something when somebody wants to work on their time, typically they want to jump right into the calendar, right?
00:38:32:58 – 00:38:52:41
Unknown
Right. That’s got to be where the solution is. I got too many things. This calendar I happen there’s probably some strategy to this, but yeah, not really to earlier. If I don’t know what has priority and what’s needing my time and attention. This is not equal for every area. But this is think of a ballerina, right? An hour for a ballerina to stay balanced.
00:38:52:46 – 00:39:13:06
Unknown
She is making slight adjustments so quickly. Right. To keep herself right. It does not mean that she is giving exactly this much pressure one way and then this much pressure. This where she would be wobbling all over the place. So I put together this, balanced assessment where I take the eight key areas of life that I believe every single person listening to this needs to pay attention to or get this.
00:39:13:06 – 00:39:21:57
Unknown
One day they will demand your attention and they will always cost more time, more money, more energy, stress, you know,
00:39:21:57 – 00:39:35:46
Unknown
and they will be taken away from your ROI and your business. Right. So, I put together a, at this balance assessment guide along with the video, because most people aren’t willing to take the time to look at their time and to what and what needs their attention.
00:39:35:46 – 00:39:57:39
Unknown
And so, yeah, I want to bring put that together for your audience today. You can go to redeem her time.com/assessments. Download that. My video will walk you through exactly how to use it. And it’s really enlightening about what is needing your time and attention so that you can stay balanced so that you can see the ROI in life and business that you’re looking for,
00:39:57:39 – 00:40:13:34
Unknown
Well, you know, like asking the question, what does it time for? So. Yeah, a couple things from what we’ve talked about today that I would challenge your audience to, number one, whenever you hear yourself saying, I don’t have time or some version of it, remind yourself, I do have time. And if you need a reminder, go with your screen time.
00:40:13:38 – 00:40:34:06
Unknown
Okay. Number two, start asking the question what is it time for? Because that’s going to help you be more present to the time in front of you. And number three, start evaluating. Right? Am I responding to time out of fear or out of phase? And, you know, then with this assessment, you’re going to be able to see what is it that’s needing some time.
00:40:34:11 – 00:40:54:53
Unknown
And it might not be that it needs more time. Maybe it’s just needs focused time because it’s not working enough of you to really make a difference. And again, it’s going to throw things off one day if we’re not paying attention. I love it, I love it. Thank you so much for joining us today for shedding light on something that we think about, but don’t really think about.
00:40:54:53 – 00:41:13:40
Unknown
We throw it to the side, but now we know this is a precious gift from God, and we need to take care of it and be good stewards of our time. And I think will help us. Also, you really helped out a lot. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for saying yes to the podcast and in helping me to relaunch this out there to the world, because people need to know this stuff.
00:41:13:40 – 00:41:30:51
Unknown
They need to know how to not only how to get traffic to their website, they need to know how to take care of themselves. They need to know how to manage their time, and they know how to. They need to know how to do all this together and not go, oh my God, I’m just so overwhelmed. So that’s what we’re seeking to do and that’s what you’ve helped us to do.
00:41:30:51 – 00:41:32:22
Unknown
So thank you very, very much.
00:41:32:22 – 00:41:55:28

So it’s time now for the spotlight. And in the spotlight today is my client, colleague, best friend, code person to cry with. Nadine Mullings of NATing Mullings Marketing Agency. She is a perfect student. She’s a perfect colleague. She’s a extremely the perfect coach and friend I’ve known the name for a number of years and I want to congratulate her.
00:43:44:05 – 00:44:09:14
Unknown
A shout out to her because she is doing it, doing it, doing it. She, came into my program. Let’s see, I think. Well, 20, 20, she did her first book with me, 90 Day Gratitude Journal for Your Business, that went to bestseller. So that was her first book with me. She had one books you put out previously, and now she is, I think is a four time bestselling author.
00:44:09:16 – 00:44:31:10
Unknown
Woo hoo! So shout out to that. Some people can even get the bestselling author. Some people can’t even get to one book done and she’s got four out there. So I’m very proud of that. But recently we came together and we did. And the power of Your Message summit now, Nadine approached me. This is her fourth summit. I think she’s done because she was also in my,
00:44:31:10 – 00:44:32:12
Unknown
summit lab.
00:44:32:12 – 00:44:49:52
Unknown
She was in my best lab, and then she was also in the podcasting lab. So she learned how to do all these things, and she put them. She didn’t wait. She put them into play. Right? So she’s got a podcast going this eight season strong. She’s got this is her fourth I think it’s her fourth summit. And then she’s a four time bestselling author.
00:44:49:52 – 00:44:52:50
Unknown
So that’s I’m talk I’m a super A-plus student. Right.
00:44:52:50 – 00:45:07:22
Unknown
So she asked me to come in and co-host The Power of Your Message summit with me. And the twist on this was that it was going to be an audio summit. I was like, Audio Summit. Everybody that know since 2013. But I’m like, okay, that’s what you want to do day.
00:45:07:24 – 00:45:10:25
Unknown
We’re going to do it. And it was it was such an awesome.
00:45:10:25 – 00:45:23:09
Unknown
First of all, it was an awesome prompting from God to say to her, Karen, you want to come in with me? And then for me to be obedient and say yes, and then to do it because it was a whole lot of stuff going on.
00:45:23:24 – 00:45:40:35
Unknown
We’re trying to get that summit together. I’m so glad it was audio. If it was video, we would not have been able to do that at all because things were just too crazy with me moving to Mexico. And then we moved here. I didn’t have access to high speed internet and it was kind of crazy, but we made it work.
00:45:40:35 – 00:45:51:43
Unknown
It was awesome. We got so many great reviews about it. It is helping so many people. And then this week, actually, tomorrow is the last day of the
00:45:51:43 – 00:46:09:58
Unknown
power of Your message challenge. So we went back through on each day of the summit. We started out with a prayer and then we had the speakers for each day. We talked about clarifying your message, stewarding your message, monetizing your message, mastering your message, and then embodying your message.
00:46:09:58 – 00:46:10:35
Unknown
On the fifth
00:46:10:35 – 00:46:16:18
Unknown
I think we had 11, 11 or 12 speakers altogether. We had 24 speakers in the entire
00:46:16:18 – 00:46:19:15
Unknown
summit, and then we had about 11 or 12 of them.
00:46:19:15 – 00:46:40:53
Unknown
Join us on that live session on Friday talking about embodying your message. And it was so very powerful and we wanted to continue the learning. For some people who couldn’t attend our online content, attend a few of the sessions, and we came up with the power of Your message challenge. So every day of the challenge, I mean, yeah, the Power of Limits challenge.
00:46:41:06 – 00:47:05:18
Unknown
Every day of the summit, I did a challenge that kind of put all the ideas together that each of the days was talking about, like I did a challenge for stewardship, clarity, monetization and mastery. And then we had the live session on Friday. So we said, why don’t we put those challenges together and come up with a power of your message challenge?
00:47:05:31 – 00:47:34:00
Unknown

00:48:37:27 – 00:48:42:02
Unknown
All right. So let’s recap what we learned when we were speaking with Lisa.
00:48:42:07 – 00:49:04:00
Unknown
The three points, three takeaways that I got from it was number one, our time is a gift from God and has a purpose. So no longer always saying, I’m running out of time. I don’t have time and I’m not. Yes we do. We have time because our time is a gift from God. And if you look at it, you know, you being here, you being alive is a gift from God right now.
00:49:04:05 – 00:49:04:37
Unknown
Okay.
00:49:04:37 – 00:49:20:48
Unknown
And then the other thing was fear or faith. Are you going to fear everything that’s coming your way or that you have to do? Or are you going to have faith that you can really do it? Because God has given you the time to do this? And the third thing is my new favorite saying, you have time to breathe.
00:49:21:03 – 00:49:40:22
Unknown
Y’all just don’t know how much that helped me, because when Lisa now we’re actually recording the thing I was stressing out. I didn’t have, my high speed internet. Internet. I had to go to a co-working place. I had to find the right spot, had to make sure we could get on it was just like ran. I was telling her, you know, can we just, go on a little bit later?
00:49:40:22 – 00:49:45:40
Unknown
I’m sorry. I’m going to be like, it’s your like, you have time. And that just made me go.
00:49:45:40 – 00:49:51:48
Unknown
So the next time that you’re stressed out and you’re thinking, I’m not going to get this done, I got too much on my plate, blah, blah, blah. Just say
00:49:51:48 – 00:49:54:15
Unknown
I have time. Take a deep breath.
00:49:54:15 – 00:50:03:19
Unknown
Would you like to get free coaching for me? Simple. All you need to do is go to on marketer business.com/podcast.
00:50:03:19 – 00:50:14:44
Unknown
All right, everyone, guess what time it is. It is time for me to tell you about my favorite book of the week. And you need to go out right now and get this book. We just released this book by my client, Michelle Felts.
00:50:14:58 – 00:50:47:04
Unknown
It’s called Legitimizing the New Hustle. It is a new take on creating people first workplaces. I’m going to read a quote to you from David Shapiro, who wrote the actual foreword or the book. This book invites us to reimagine our workplaces as communities that foster personal and professional growth. It’s an inspiring call to action for employers, leaders, or community advocates to create workplaces that put people first in any line of work.
00:50:47:06 – 00:51:11:53
Unknown
Any company, new or old, can benefit from seeing people for their for their potential. Instead of their past. Now, we’ve been working on this book for, I want to say, since March. I think that’s when I came in, to help with some editing and to actually put the book together, the layout, the, the cover and all of this.
00:51:11:53 – 00:51:37:35
Unknown
And it is, amazing, I love it, I love what she’s doing. She has that her and her husband, Dean, actually help people get back into the workforce where whether or not they’re returning citizens, you know, from prison or whatever, or they’ve had drug issues and they had heart issues in their life. And you know how it is when something happens to you, you get knocked off your feet.
00:51:37:35 – 00:51:57:16
Unknown
You got to get back up. You got to keep going. But sometimes you don’t have the wherewithal to do it. Or sometimes the people around you don’t know what to do, how to help you, but Michelle and her husband, Dean, have this great organization called One City, One City United, I believe. And that’s what they do. They help people get back on their feet.
00:51:57:16 – 00:52:21:52
Unknown
They actually have classes that they send them to, and they have businesses who are willing to help them by hiring these people because you need a job, because you need money, right? So go out and get the the get this book legitimizing the New Hustle, Creating People first workplaces. Michelle did an excellent job on this, and you would be remiss if you didn’t get it
00:52:21:52 – 00:52:43:49
Unknown
