Today, I had to do something that I've never had to do in the Village before: remove a member who was an actual active member of the community. Sure, I've removed all kinds of spammers and scammers, but this was different. This individual was not overtly villainous. He would try to offer support and advice, and he definitely meant well. Unfortunately, he would often offer this advice forcefully, aggressively, and when not asked for it. He would speak out of turn in events, disrupt the conversation, and distract my attention from serving the audience. But that's just a different way to behaving, so I tried to deal with it as such, sharing my concerns and helping him to fit in better. But today, it became clear that this individual is not just quirky, but potentially disruptive and harmful. He informed me that he helped 5-7 figure entrepreneurs become 7-8 figure, which implies that he could help a beginner (5-figure) reach multimillion dollar success. As I sought more detail and clarity, his answers became more evasive and, well, frankly, weird. He claimed an 8-figure net worth, but when pressed for details discussed acting roles in movies he was not in, and spiritual alignment to flows of income. He seemed to imply it was "energetic" wealth or something, but I couldn't understand what he was trying to explain. I started to recognize the patterns of a Grifter (or perhaps a Leech if he didn't realize what he was doing) in both his comments and his business. So, I addressed it directly... I explained that I was considering removing him from the Village and all related programs, and asked him to explain, clearly, in plain language what he meant. His response was to send me a ChatGPT analysis that claimed that his archetype was "Jesus The Christ." At this point, I concluded that he was more of a negative influence than a positive, and informed him that he was invited to find success outside of the Village. He then claimed that I was acting as a "villain" and compromising my own Villager Values. Of course, that is something I take quite seriously, so I went back to look at the 10 Villager Values to see what applied.

"We all have the same 24 hours in the day," they say. But do we? The CEO spends their time setting the strategic direction of corporate divisions containing thousands of people, while the single mother spends her time chasing kids, working for wages, and doing laundry. No judgment on the single mother. In fact, she works much harder than the CEO, but she is not able to have as much impact. Both have 24 hours in a day, but some have more leverage on their time than others. Why are some people able to live the Four Hour Workweek, making 7-figures in four hours a week, while others work 15 hours a day and barely scrape by? The answer is leverage. It's not about how much time you have. It's about how you use it. The CEO and the single mom both have the same 24 hours in the day, but the single mom deploys 24 hours of work and rest, while the CEO deploys 24,000 hours of work at their command. If you'd like to learn how to have more leverage in your business, might I suggest you join me and Brandi Cox tomorrow morning at 11 AM Eastern for the No Touch Tech Info Session, where you will learn how to effectively and affordably delegate your tech. 🤷‍♂️ You May Not Have 1,000 Employees, But... You may not be the CEO with a team of Vice Presidents to execute your vision, but you can be the CEO of your company. Many people thinks CEOs are overpaid because they don't seem to do any real work. They don't assemble widgets on the assembly line. They don't create reports. They don't design marketing campaigns. They don't do anything! What they do is they direct all the people who do the things, and if you don't think good direction is important, try driving through an intersection when the power is out and the traffic light isn't working. 😅 You're Not a CEO If You Do It All Yourself How do you get big company CEO leverage without big company CEO budgets? You must delegate strategically. Find the areas of your business where you are the weakest, the areas where you spend the most time (and frustration) to get the result, and have someone else do it for you.

Covid is Back…Stay Safe and TEST! HOME COVID TEST 1. Pour a large glass of red wine, try to smell it. 2. If you can smell the wine then drink it & see if you can taste it. 3. If you can taste & smell it confirms you don’t have Covid. Last night I did the test 19 times, & all were negative, thank God. Tonight I am going to do the test again, because this morning I woke with a headache & feel like I am coming down with something. I am so nervous!
