For those of you here who host your own events, HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR EVENTS ON SCHEDULE? Do you use a run sheet of some sort or who manages the event flow, do you have a timer for each segment? I mentioned before I had an event come up and it went…. Ok. It was a daytime mastermind which went fantastic, but the evening Speak-Off and awards were only decent. I Was planning and pushing for 200 attendees and had about 60 (late advertising and some other challenges that I dropped the ball on) and yet it was still a pretty dope event in person and for the guest but behind the scenes I missed some marks …. LIKE making the offer 🤷🏾🫣⁉️ We got behind schedule so bad that before I knew it we were 30 minutes passed the time we had to leave and I rushed the offer pitch and honestly barely made it at all. I had 3 people come ask me for more info, but obviously the event was an onboarding event that was designed to position the offer for many more and I ran out of time ⌛️. 👀📋What advice could you all give me on keeping up with the schedule for events or better planning? Because I feel like I left some money on the table and that there were people we could have helped but they didn’t even have a chance to really hear about it. Thanks in advance for your advice.

You've watched from the sidelines. Maybe you even bought something small. But you haven't gone all in yet. And I get it. You're busy. You're already successful. You've got the credentials, the clients and your family already braggs on your accomplishments! But here's what I know that you're not saying out loud: You're still leaving six or seven figures on the table. Not because you're not good enough. You're overqualified. Not because you don't work hard enough. You're exhausted. It's because when you’re talking to a client and you know they need a $100,000 solution you charge them $10,000 instead. It’s because when you're on a call with the Fortune 500 decision-maker you quote them $25,000 instead of the $250,000 offer they really need. Why? Because when it comes time to say your price that voice shows up. You know the voice: "𝑊ℎ𝑜 𝑎𝑚 𝐼 𝑡𝑜 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑢𝑐ℎ?" "𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑠𝑎𝑦 𝑛𝑜?" "𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒 𝐼 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙?" And instead of closing the deal that would change everything, you discount yourself. You over-deliver. You leave money on the table. Again. I know because I did it too. Before I built this multimillion-dollar company. Before I was teaching experts like you how to close six and seven figure deals. When I was a lawyer on the partner track making $300K—I STILL felt like I was faking it. The only difference between then and now? I got the frameworks. The sales psychology. The exact language that decision-makers respond to. And that's what Speak Your Way To Cash Live was built for. To make sure you have the frameworks too. We ran it once last month. Live. In person. And after three full days hundreds of experts walked out with the exact blueprints that helped clients big delas and scale their business. And here's the thing—we said we'd never run it again.

I used to say, “Chris and I left ministry…” but the truth is—we didn’t. It just looks different now. Chris was in seminary to be a pastor. Third-generation preacher’s kid. His dad pastors a historic apostolic church on the west side of Chicago. Me? I didn’t have that same call to the pulpit, but I was down to serve right alongside him. At 22 and 24, we were young and married—learning, growing, doing street ministry, feeding folks, running youth programs. We loved the people and the purpose. That heart to serve never left. It just evolved. When we started Speak Your Way To Cash®, we thought we were stepping away from ministry. Turns out, God was just giving us a new platform. Now, every event we host cording to @yolanda_k_churchwell feels like “business church.” People tell us they feel different after attending—and that’s because love, faith, and service are built into the DNA of everything we do. Our whole family’s involved—Chris, my mom, my brothers, my baby girl, my nieces and nephews. It’s a full-blown family mission. Ministry didn’t end. It expanded. So if you’ve ever felt called to serve but thought, “I’m not supposed to be in a pulpit,” hear me—ministry isn’t confined to a stage. It’s anywhere you love, lead, and lift people higher in the name of Jesus. It’s wear you surrender your plans to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. And hear me on this; whatever you put your hands to do you’re supposed to work as unto God. That means learning and executing in excellence. That includes investing to be the best at your craft and putting in as much time as it takes to be great. If your business is a gift from God treat it with the respect such a gift deserves. God can use your voice—right where you are. Maybe more of us are in ministry than we think. 😉

Whew… 15-hour day. Zero complaints. 100% grateful. Started at 7 AM with makeup and then a content training for my mastermind, scripted YouTube videos in the car, then dove straight into my own content day—20 reels, 2 long-form videos, and then interviewed four talented creatives for our open full-time videographer position. Then team strategy session about the next two weeks: Iowa, Florida, back to Georgia. I’m speaking at WebinarCon (which I’m SO hyped about), then to Prime Mover HQ for training with @russellbrunson and @mccalljones themselves. Here’s what I’m feeling right now: momentum. Our company is growing. Our culture is evolving. We’re adding incredible people who actually get it. We’ve added two new full-time W-2 team members are traveling with us over the next two weeks, and more full-time offers are going out before the year ends… There’s something special about building a team you can trust—people who show up, execute, and care as much as you do. Days like this remind me why I never gave up when it was just me, a camera, and a dream. The trials hits different when you’re building something that matters. If you want to see behind the scenes of how we’ve built and scaled the operations of this business, join me at Speak Your Way To Cash Live Rewind next month. I’m pulling back the curtain on everything. Comment REWIND TO GET A GENERAL TICKET FOR just $97…👏👏👏 https://www.speakyourwaytocashlive.com

I recently opened my e-com store and wanted to know where are the e-commerce peeps? I know Ashley asked were we in there...I raised my hand and I saw a few other hands went up...I sure wished I could have chatted with y'all.
