Good day everyone.
It is a little later in the afternoon today. This morning did a bunch of work. I leave in a couple days to go speak at that Austin event with Cathryn. So right now I’m heading up to the city, to meet with Cathryn, so we can go over our presentation, and our talk that we’re going to give at this conference. And we also have another NLP class tonight on The Art of Public Speaking. And I’m gonna try to sneak this little thing in there and give you guys an inside scoop.
Let’s go.
(upbeat music)
Alright guys, I just got off of the bus. Now I’m on my way to go meet up with Cathryn. We’re gonna go meet up at one of our favorite restaurants. What I was working on the bus is the swipe file for the talk and presentation that we’re going to give. The swipe file consists of our entire hiring process or our entire customer flow and experience. Our onboarding sequence.
I have a lot of work to do before we actually present to provide a lot of value and give everyone pretty much exactly what we do in our business to grow it and scale it the way we do. Once we go live with that I’ll be able to share a little more details with all of you.
But let’s go find Cathryn.

What are we talking about?
We’re talking about Austin. Yeah. Hard talk.
And getting excited for the talk and presentation that we’re gonna do. So we just got on break at the NLP class and I really love it, cause what we talk about in there relates to more things than just public speaking. It relates to how you message and frame your business to your customers or your product or your service to your customers or clients. How you discuss one on one conversations.
There’s so much happening. It’s really beneficial. One thing that I like about it is that it’s really hands on. We split up in groups and actually do the work in real time.
And here’s Cathryn.

So Cathryn, what do you like about this NLP class so far?
I like that we get to do hands on stuff. We, you know, learn something and then we just do it right then. Cause then it sticks in our head. It also helps us get to know the other people there. It’s fun. Yeah. Cause otherwise it’s just sitting there for four hours. Sitting there for four hours being lectured to. Yeah. Who the hell wants that?
(upbeat music)
We just wrapped up the NLP training for this evening. It was really hands on tonight. We used a lot of brain power. A lot of thinking.
Allen’s not used to that.
(laughs)
I’m not used to that at all. Cathryn and I, we’re exhausted right now. I’m ready for a drink. We’re ready for a drink. We’re gonna go grab a drink and yeah.
(upbeat music)
Alright party people. Had an awesome time in the city today.
First half of the day was good. Got a lot of work done. A lot accomplished. I had some meetings with my team. Had a call with my buddy John. Then worked on the presentation with Cathryn this afternoon. Then handled the NLP training program, and back to: am drop-off. Gonna do it all again tomorrow.
I just wanted to recap today.
It was such a good day and I always try to figure out what my key take aways were from the day before I go to bed at night. Because there’s always some value to learn no matter whether you’re working online or you go and meet up with your business partner, or you’re taking a course, or you have a call with a friend.
The biggest take away from me today is being prepared and how preparation can set yourself up for success. Learning this directly from the NLP class and the public speaking class is prepare for random questions. Prepare for curve balls. Prepare for controversy. And if you prepare correctly you’ll be able to handle any situation that’s thrown at you.

I’m Allen. Thanks for watching.
