Why is it that

0:02

we complicate our business so much

0:04

? We actually got into

0:07

business most of us anyway because we

0:09

wanted to leave the rat race . We wanted a simpler

0:11

life , and yet , for some reason , we

0:13

over complicate our businesses

0:15

and then we find that we're bogged down with

0:18

stuff that we don't even need to get

0:20

involved in . So in this episode

0:22

of the Influential Woman podcast , I'm going

0:24

to talk to you about some of the

0:27

ways that I'm simplifying my business

0:29

and taking the stress off and

0:31

just like , oh

0:34

yeah , it feels so much better . Welcome

0:38

to the Influential Woman podcast , where I

0:40

talk about the lessons I've learned , building

0:42

my business and the tools and strategies

0:44

you can use to make your mission of getting

0:46

your message seen , heard and out

0:49

there possible . Don't have a big

0:51

team or consider yourself a solopreneur

0:53

. I got you covered . Listen

0:55

in as I show you how to simplify

0:57

your business and your life . So

1:03

I hope that these tips will actually help

1:05

you , because you know one of

1:07

the things and this isn't a point , this

1:10

is just something that I have

1:12

observed a lot of people tell

1:14

you go and build a team . You know , if you

1:16

want to do really well online , you've

1:18

got to have a team and somebody's going to do this , and

1:20

somebody's going to do that , somebody's going to do something else

1:22

, and then the problem is you

1:24

have all of these people that you have to interact

1:27

with and it's nothing but stress , right

1:29

? So take it from me it is not

1:31

true that if you build a

1:34

team , if you outsource a lot

1:36

, that you're actually going to have less

1:38

stress . I used to outsource

1:41

to people in the Philippines and I'm not telling

1:43

you not to outsource , by the way , so I am

1:45

going to elaborate on that comment shortly

1:47

but I used to outsource to

1:49

the Philippines and , honestly

1:51

, the stress with

1:54

having to tell them what to do

1:56

. You know a video . I would have to send

1:58

it to them in order for them to edit

2:00

the video and , honestly , I

2:02

could have done it in a shorter

2:04

period of time without actually

2:07

exporting and then sending it off

2:09

and finding you know a piece of software

2:11

like WeTransfer in order to send a big

2:13

file , etc . Etc . And

2:15

and I'm being honest with you I

2:17

have cried to God so many times

2:19

and said I need help . I

2:22

need help . Recently , god

2:24

is like no , you don't need

2:26

help , you have this software

2:29

, this system . Go and use

2:31

what you have . So I'm going to talk about that

2:33

shortly , but anyway , quick

2:35

story . I was actually on threads the

2:37

other day and

2:39

somebody who uses the Instagram platform

2:42

quite a lot actually made a comment and actually I'm

2:45

going to read it , kind of because I don't want to mess

2:47

it up she fired or should I say stop

2:50

delegating to her team and

2:53

she said instead , what she did was she simplified her business and

2:57

she said as a result , she is

2:59

far less stressed and

3:01

she's making the same revenue . The same revenue

3:03

. What did I say earlier ? You

3:06

will be told that you need a team in

3:08

order to be successful online

3:10

. You've got to make a team , you know , because you're going to make

3:12

more money if you outsource everything

3:15

and then you can just live the dot com lifestyle

3:17

and , you know , after breakfast , go and sit

3:19

down on the beach would be fantastic

3:21

. But you know , even back in

3:23

2004

3:26

, when I went to my first big

3:28

seminar with Armand Morin and there

3:30

was people there like Armand Morin

3:32

, alex Mendoche and

3:35

oh , marlon Sanders that's the guy's

3:37

name that I'm trying to think of and

3:39

all of these guys didn't have a team . There

3:41

may have been one thing that they outsourced

3:43

somebody , but in the main they did it themselves

3:45

. And before you switch off and say , hey , trish

3:48

, I'm not tech , I need to outsource

3:50

certain things , just to hear me out

3:52

, okay , right . So what

3:54

I'm saying is these guys were making

3:56

a lot of money and they were not outsourcing

3:59

. But I think , with the invent

4:03

of fiverr , get a freelancer , et

4:05

cetera and again , I'm not saying not

4:07

to use these people . What I am

4:09

saying is , I think that there has been

4:12

a kind of over reliance and

4:14

you've moved from big corporation

4:16

to then try and create a big corporation

4:19

and , with it , a big headache , and what

4:21

I'm trying to do is give you a pill

4:23

or two that's actually going

4:25

to reduce your headache , right

4:28

? So the first thing that

4:30

I'm going to say is you've got

4:32

to decide what you need to outsource

4:34

and do the rest . So years ago

4:36

, I was watching a video by Dan

4:38

Kennedy and he was saying that the one

4:41

thing that he will not outsource is

4:44

his copywriting , is marketing

4:46

and his copywriting . There are bits

4:48

and pieces that he will outsource that he'll say

4:50

, yep , I need to do that so that

4:52

I have more time for me , but the

4:55

marketing and the copywriting , he will not

4:57

outsource that . And so you have to

4:59

decide what is the thing that I'm particularly

5:02

good at , that I can do myself and

5:04

I don't need to outsource for me . I

5:08

don't want to outsource my website . I can

5:10

build my own website . In fact , actually , all the tech

5:12

I can do myself . And yes

5:14

, I have cried about it on many occasions

5:16

and , yes , I've had to go back and say

5:18

, god , I am so sorry , I'm so

5:20

sorry I can actually do

5:22

that myself . And I'm grateful that

5:24

I can because , again , you

5:26

know , even with the graphics , when

5:29

I used to do a lot of graphics on

5:31

my website , I'd have to outsource it in the backwards

5:33

and forwards was crazy . Now don't get me wrong

5:35

. If I need a particular graphic done , if

5:37

I need a logo

5:39

or any graphic right

5:42

that I can't do easily on Canva

5:44

, I am going to outsource it still

5:46

, because I am no good at graphics

5:48

and I have no intentions of learning Photoshop

5:51

. So , beyond what I can give my daughter

5:53

to do , or whatever I can outsource , then

5:55

I'm going to have to do

5:58

it myself . So that's the first point

6:00

that I want to make . Right , decide what

6:02

you need to outsource and

6:04

then you do the rest . But if

6:06

you find that you're outsourcing everything

6:08

, you're going to have to then manage all of these

6:10

people and then , if they don't do the project right

6:12

, then you've got to go back to them and say , could you do this properly

6:15

, could you do that ? And that

6:17

is going to create more friction , and

6:19

then you're going to get frustrated . So that's

6:22

the first point . This is number two and I'm

6:24

telling you I'm talking to mwah

6:26

Right now , right , I'm

6:29

talking to me right now on

6:31

this point and that

6:33

is to use just one

6:35

platform . Honestly

6:37

, so many

6:39

people get so hung up on

6:41

this . They want to learn LinkedIn , they want to learn

6:43

Facebook , they want to learn Instagram , they

6:45

want to learn Twitter , you know , they want to

6:47

learn YouTube , and all

6:49

of these things require learning on

6:52

the platform . And then people say , well , I'm not very techie

6:54

. Well , if you're not very techie , you

6:56

don't go and take on six platforms

6:58

to learn and then start complaining

7:00

that you don't understand

7:03

Instagram or you don't understand YouTube

7:05

or you don't understand Facebook . It's

7:07

crazy . That would be like giving

7:09

a kid an ice cream and they drop the

7:11

ice cream and you say , okay , nevermind , johnny , I'm

7:13

going to go and get you a bigger ice cream . Johnny can't

7:15

even manage the ice cream that you gave him

7:18

and yet you're going to go and buy him

7:20

another ice cream , a bigger one . It just

7:22

doesn't make sense . So the best thing to do

7:24

is just to focus on

7:26

one platform , and the reason I say

7:28

I'm having a bit of a problem with this right now is

7:31

literally because I

7:34

am not a fan of Facebook

7:36

. I'm just saying I am not a fan

7:39

of Facebook and

7:41

my daughter keeps telling me I got to get on LinkedIn

7:44

because that's where the action is

7:46

and I don't really like LinkedIn

7:48

. I just personally find it just too

7:52

corporate . I think that's what it is . I

7:54

find LinkedIn just a

7:56

little bit too corporate for me . Ain't

7:58

going to use Twitter , I have started using

8:01

threads . So maybe I had to qualify

8:03

what I said earlier and say one platform

8:05

plus threads . And I know someone's

8:08

going to say you know what ? All

8:10

the politics ? I'm not even going to mention it because I'm

8:12

not going to get involved in the politics . I don't care . Musk

8:15

and Zuckerberg could have

8:17

the biggest argument of fight whatever . I

8:19

won't even buy popcorn , I'm not even going to buy tickets

8:22

. I'm just saying that very

8:25

often we jump on a platform when it's

8:27

older and then people start telling you

8:29

this is how you use the platform . I've

8:31

literally gone on there . I'm not saying I'm

8:33

a big user of it , but before people

8:36

start telling me , do this , don't do

8:38

that , do whatever . I am just

8:40

, I just jumped on it . In fact , I jumped on it

8:42

the very first day . I still can't believe that

8:44

I had the app before my daughter did

8:46

Feels

8:48

so good . So I

8:51

started using threads and

8:53

I like it . I can't say I love it , but I

8:55

like it . And so the reason I'm saying to you

8:57

a platform plus threads is because

9:00

threads is new . Is it going to be shut

9:02

down in three months time ? I don't know

9:04

. Is it going to be operational

9:06

in six years time ? I don't

9:08

know . But guess what , if you

9:11

don't try , you are not going to know . And

9:13

then , if it really does take off like

9:15

they think , it is going to be interesting

9:17

actually to see what's happening

9:19

. What is it ? Is it the third week now or

9:21

second week ? It'll be interesting to

9:23

see what's happening over there

9:25

now , whether the growth is still steady

9:28

or whether it's tell

9:30

off . But hey , I don't know . So

9:32

please , if you're going to master videos

9:35

, master videos and

9:37

then get on YouTube , or you can

9:39

use Facebook if you prefer , but

9:42

master videos , know what equipment

9:44

you're going to use and

9:46

get used to the platform

9:49

. What works , what doesn't work . Work

9:51

it basically until it works , is what I'm saying

9:54

. Okay , and I may have even talked about

9:56

this over and over again , because it really is

9:58

one of the things that I have to keep telling

10:00

people all the time stop

10:02

trying to make your first chapter

10:05

be like somebody else's 20th

10:07

chapter , because you're always

10:09

going to be on the back foot because there's

10:11

all the background elements that

10:13

you don't know what they're doing and how they're

10:15

doing it and you're trying to copy them and

10:18

be a master like them and you're

10:20

missing out on all the basics . So

10:22

what I'm saying is master the basics

10:24

first and then you can move on

10:26

. So if you think of it in this term , russell Brunson

10:29

has his one funnel away and he talks

10:31

about having one funnel

10:33

and one offer until

10:35

you make it . So if

10:37

you think on those

10:39

terms and you have one funnel , one

10:42

offer , one platform , then

10:44

you are more likely to succeed

10:46

than if you have a million and one

10:48

offers . You know you've got two funnels

10:50

going . You can't even build one funnel , but you've got

10:52

, you know , three funnels on the go . Hey , have

10:54

I labored this point enough ? I think I

10:56

have . Yeah , let's move on . So

10:59

the third thing oh , and this is a

11:01

biggie get rid of

11:03

friction . Anything that's

11:05

going to take up more of your time

11:08

and make you doubt

11:10

yourself or not do what

11:12

you're supposed to do is going

11:14

to create a problem . It's going to create

11:16

friction . Right now I'm going to tell

11:18

you this . I decided that I'm going to put this on

11:21

to record and I went downstairs

11:23

and my husband said to me I thought you

11:25

said you were recording , you were getting dressed this

11:27

morning to record . And I said , yeah , I'm about

11:29

to record now . And he looked at me and he was like and

11:33

I said , listen , this is me and

11:35

this is how I'm going on camera today

11:37

. I'm putting on some

11:39

lipstick and they're lucky , they're getting some lippy

11:41

. I said I'm sorry , people who

11:44

want me to dress up to the nines and

11:46

they've got an issue with the fact that I have you

11:48

guys call it in America sweater , jumper

11:51

on polar neck , we call

11:53

it , you call it turtleneck . I think in America

11:55

, people who got a problem seriously

11:58

need to go find another video because I will

12:00

not be not me , just

12:03

so that I can make somebody else feel good , because

12:05

I talk a lot about

12:08

being yourself . So

12:10

if the friction is that I don't

12:12

want to put on all the makeup

12:14

before I do my video

12:17

, don't put on all the makeup

12:19

, I don't wear makeup anyway , right

12:21

? So if somebody says , well , trish , why don't

12:23

you put on this , you know what ? Okay

12:26

, I'll stop . You're lucky you got

12:28

lippy , that's

12:30

all I'm saying . You're lucky , you got

12:32

lippy . So that's one friction

12:34

, but that's only friction about the clothing

12:36

. This is the other big friction

12:38

, and I see this all the time , where

12:41

people will

12:44

do a video or record

12:46

a podcast or put something up on social

12:49

media and it's like , oh , what

12:51

software are you using to do so ? And so they already

12:53

have a piece of software . But it's like

12:55

, wow , your video looks really , really good

12:57

. What camera are you using ? And then

12:59

you tell them it's the Canon , whatever

13:01

. And they go , oh , wow , I can't

13:03

afford that . Oh , I need to afford

13:06

to go buy this camera . No

13:08

, you don't . My daughter

13:10

and if you've watched my other videos you've

13:12

probably heard me say this until you've fed up with

13:15

it , my daughter has a creme

13:17

de la creme Canon camera in

13:19

her room that I would have to just walk across

13:21

the hallway and go grab the camera . I

13:24

cannot be bothered . I am using a Logitech

13:26

webcam right now . I could

13:28

also use my iPhone . I've tried using my

13:31

iPhone and , to be quite honest , the video

13:33

on the iPhone is actually much better than

13:35

the video on here . But unless

13:37

you're a videographer or unless

13:39

my video is blurry , nobody's

13:43

going to notice . Honestly

13:46

, most people will not notice . It

13:48

tends to be the audio snobs who go , oh

13:50

, your audio is not very good . It tends

13:52

to be the videographers who say , oh , you can

13:54

improve on your video . Everybody

13:57

else does not care . And

13:59

so I'm not saying don't ask

14:02

, but I'm saying don't ask to the

14:04

extent that you allow that thing to

14:06

become a stumbling block because you

14:08

won't move and do something unless you

14:10

have the creme de la creme camera

14:13

, the , the Canon , the Nikon

14:15

. Did I just say Nikon ? I

14:18

don't know , are you pronounced ? Actually we say Nikon

14:20

here . Yeah , until you have

14:22

that fancy piece of equipment or

14:24

that piece of software that cost X amount

14:26

of money , just

14:29

Use what you have

14:31

in your hand . Be a Moses Girl

14:34

version of Moses . Use what's in

14:36

your hand . Now one of the things that I did

14:38

do recently To

14:40

. Actually it was friction at first , but

14:43

I had already had it and I decided

14:45

it was time to use it . So I

14:47

purchased d-script last year and

14:50

I must admit I struggled with it . But everybody

14:52

just kept saying how fantastic this piece

14:54

of software was and I

14:57

used it to do a video and I didn't really

14:59

like the video quality . And I found out after that I

15:01

could actually improve the video quality . So

15:03

that's what I did . But I was looking

15:06

to outsource my videos

15:08

at the end of the subscription

15:10

for d-script and I

15:13

decided about two months ago You're

15:15

gonna have to learn this thing , at least

15:17

try and learn it , and if you find that you cannot

15:20

use it , then you can go

15:22

and outsource your podcasts

15:24

and your videos , etc . Anyway

15:26

, I used d-script

15:29

, I struggled with it , I wanted to tear my

15:31

hair out , I was Just

15:33

getting so annoyed , but anyway , I

15:36

persevered . And now

15:38

, honestly , once I finish this video

15:40

, it's probably going to take me

15:43

Maybe 40

15:45

minutes or so to edit the video , and

15:47

that includes editing the video For

15:49

the video and then to turn it into

15:51

a podcast . But I have

15:53

had to use that over and over

15:56

to do short videos

15:58

for YouTube . Some videos

16:00

I've not even uploaded . But I have just

16:02

decided that I'm just going to keep working

16:04

this thing until it's working for me and

16:06

that's exactly what I did , and so

16:08

by doing that

16:10

, I now don't have to

16:12

feel that I've got an outsource , because I Actually

16:15

had a conversation with a company the other

16:17

day and they were really good . They

16:20

were gonna take my videos

16:22

, podcasts , they could

16:24

basically do everything look at my website

16:26

, create landing pages , do all of these things

16:28

. And I must admit when I came off

16:30

the call I Thought exhausted

16:33

you , it was a great company

16:35

. If anybody asked me and said they wanted

16:38

somebody to outsource a load of stuff to , I

16:40

would recommend them . But I

16:42

felt exhausted because I remember outsourcing

16:45

years ago and how much

16:47

work is involved with actually

16:49

having to send information

16:51

to these people and then it come back and then

16:53

it's not right and then you're backwards and forwards

16:55

in and I'm like , nah , do you know

16:57

what ? I think the best thing to

16:59

do is to find a way to simplify

17:02

my business more and use

17:04

things like Descript and get on with

17:07

that software , rather than outsourcing

17:09

and then getting

17:12

frustrated because it's not done the way

17:14

that I want it to be done . Again

17:16

, I am going to say it doesn't mean

17:19

that you should not outsource

17:21

. You've got to decide what it

17:23

is that you are going to outsource

17:25

, but for me , I just felt that that

17:27

was just going to add another layer of friction

17:29

. Now , going back a little

17:32

bit is I've already mentioned that sometimes

17:34

we want to have two

17:36

courses going , a membership , we

17:39

want to have everything right , six

17:42

offers , however many

17:44

lead magnets , and then we

17:46

wonder why we're stressed out and frustrated

17:48

. Do you know one of the things that I have

17:50

done that has really , really

17:52

simplified my business ? I

17:55

do have a number of lead magnets , but , remember , I've

17:57

been doing this a very long time , but

18:00

what I have done is I

18:02

decided that , rather

18:04

than using all of those lead magnets , I'm

18:06

working with mission-minded , entrepreneurial

18:09

women and what I'm finding is that these

18:11

women want connection , they want community

18:14

, they don't want to work alone . They're all

18:16

coursed out . They're fed up of jumping

18:18

from course to course , book to book , coach

18:21

to coach . They don't

18:23

want to have to read another

18:25

book or take another course just for

18:27

one item that they need to

18:29

know . They just want one thing . They only want

18:31

to know one thing , and they want somewhere

18:34

where they're not consulting with self all

18:36

the time . Yeah , you know what I mean when I say consulting

18:38

with self . It's like right , you're the one

18:40

that's got to do the thinking , you've got to do the writing

18:43

, you've got to do the videoing , and you haven't

18:45

got anybody else to ask , because if

18:47

you go and get yourself another coach , it's going to cost

18:49

you X amount of money to get another coach . So

18:51

what I decided was I didn't

18:54

want to build a group on

18:56

Facebook . Forgive

18:58

me , I'm just not a Facebook fan , right

19:00

? So I just thought I'm just not going to do

19:02

it . So I use Circle

19:06

, circleso , and

19:08

I have been with them for a couple of years

19:10

now , so I do get more spaces . So if you're

19:12

familiar with Circle , you might say this

19:14

won't work for you . But by using

19:16

Circle , I can invite people

19:19

into the free element

19:21

of my membership

19:23

so they can join the community

19:25

, and again , I'm doing it three

19:27

ways . So they can join IW

19:30

community and this sounds complicated , right

19:32

, but you would have to be inside to really see just

19:34

how streamlined this is so they

19:36

can join the overall influential

19:38

woman community , and that's free . They

19:41

can then come and join

19:43

the influential woman after party

19:45

, and so I'm inviting you , by the way . So come on

19:47

over . Oops , I keep hitting this microphone

19:49

. Come on over to the after

19:52

party where we talk about these discussions

19:54

in more depth . And then I have my Kingdom

19:56

Switch podcast , which is also over

19:58

there , and they can join in that

20:01

conversation as well If they want deeper

20:03

conversations based on the things that

20:05

I talk about inside Kingdom Switch

20:07

. That is the

20:09

free element of what I am doing

20:11

, so effectively it's like having a

20:14

Facebook group , but it's just not inside

20:16

Facebook . And then the

20:18

premium subscription

20:20

, iw Unleashed , is for

20:23

those women who are entrepreneurs

20:26

, who have a business , who don't want to

20:28

do this on their own any longer . They

20:30

want to be able to collaborate and there's a

20:32

number of different elements inside the software

20:35

. So there's IW Unleashed , which is

20:37

the premium membership , and inside

20:39

IW Unleashed , this is for the female

20:41

entrepreneur who , as I said , want

20:44

to be able to collaborate . They want to

20:46

work in a community

20:48

. Inside the membership they can

20:50

actually co-work , so

20:52

they can work with other people . Inside

20:54

we have tech clinics and

20:57

there's some kind of mini courses inside

21:00

as well . So for right now , at

21:02

$29 per month , they

21:04

get more access to me , they

21:07

get the workshops , they get some

21:09

of the mini courses . All of this stuff

21:11

is inside the membership , but

21:13

it's all in one

21:15

place . That's the thing that I

21:17

really want to get at . My free

21:19

element and my premium elements

21:22

are all in one place

21:24

, so they don't have to consume

21:26

the course and then come off the platform in

21:28

order to be a part of the

21:30

community . They don't have to

21:32

be a part of the community and

21:35

then they decide that they want to buy a

21:37

particular course and they've got to come off the platform

21:39

. It's all in one place . And for

21:41

me , oh my gosh , this

21:44

has just simplified my business so

21:47

very much that it's

21:50

allowed me to be able to

21:52

do more of the one-to-one that I want to

21:54

do , because I was thinking , my gosh , if I do

21:56

this group coaching program which is what

21:58

I was going to do the influential woman

22:00

academy it would mean , would I

22:02

have time to be able to do my one-to-one

22:05

coaching as well ? And I really

22:07

want to keep doing my one-to-one . Right , I

22:09

might not do as much of it , but

22:11

that's an element that I really want

22:13

to keep . So this enables me to

22:15

do that . So that's one other way

22:17

that I'm simplifying my business . And again , I'm not

22:19

saying that you've got to do this exactly the same way that

22:21

I've done it , because one of the things that I have is an

22:23

overarching framework

22:26

that I use and within that framework , you

22:28

can decide you want to launch

22:30

, for example , you like launching

22:32

, and so therefore you can launch . You

22:35

don't have to use ads , for example . Or

22:37

you might say I don't want to use ads , I want

22:39

to go organic , and so , rather

22:41

than me saying you have to do it like

22:43

this and do it like me , I have

22:45

a framework and within that

22:47

framework , it allows you to be you , and

22:50

if you don't like video , you

22:52

don't have to do video . If you don't want to do a podcast

22:54

, you don't have to do a podcast . You've got to

22:56

like something , though , right ? So if you prefer

22:59

Instagram , you can go

23:01

use Instagram , but I

23:03

am not restricting

23:05

you to the way

23:07

that I have built my business . Will

23:10

I give you advice and maybe say

23:12

that might not work ? Because of

23:14

course , I'm going to do that , and if I don't do that , I'm

23:17

not really a business coach , but

23:19

when it comes down to it , it has to

23:21

be what you're comfortable with . So

23:23

that's the way that I have simplified

23:26

my business got rid of a lot

23:28

of the friction and just

23:30

narrowed what I'm offering

23:33

because it suits me . Right

23:35

now it feels good , and

23:38

so you have to find out how can you

23:40

create less friction in your business and

23:42

, at the same time , simplify

23:44

your business so that you have

23:46

more time to do what you want

23:48

to do . And yes , it might mean that

23:50

you've got to learn some more tech . I was

23:52

absolutely fed up with Descript

23:55

until everybody just kept saying

23:57

, oh my gosh , this piece of software is really

23:59

good . I decided then I'm

24:02

going to have to go and find out what

24:04

is so great about this piece of software , and

24:06

by doing that I'm so glad I

24:08

did so . I will not be canceling

24:10

my membership come September . I

24:12

will be subscribing

24:14

again for another year because I

24:16

love the software . So

24:18

decide what you want to outsource

24:21

, decide what you're happy to

24:23

learn , decide what you're

24:25

going to keep yourself , and

24:27

decide how you can eliminate

24:31

that friction and actually

24:33

simplify your business so that you're

24:35

less stressed . The lady I was referring

24:37

to , who basically said that she

24:39

stopped delegating to her team

24:41

and started doing it herself and simplified

24:44

her business , she's created

24:46

a million dollar company , right

24:49

, so it can be done . It can be

24:51

done . I was going to tell you another story then , but

24:53

I'm not . I'll save it for another time

24:55

. That's a cliffhanger

24:57

, isn't it ? Yeah , I'm going to talk about that

24:59

in the next video and the reason I'm going

25:01

to do that . I am going

25:04

to talk about in the next video how

25:06

you want to make yourself available , but

25:09

how , if you make yourself too available

25:11

, it's going to cause a

25:13

problem . And I'm going to give you a

25:15

real example of how

25:17

this has happened not to me , to

25:19

somebody else and why it

25:22

is good to be visible , but

25:24

it's not always good to be the total

25:27

face of everything you're doing , because

25:29

then in your absence

25:32

, everybody is going to be shouting

25:34

where is Trish , where

25:36

is Trish , where is Trish ? I

25:39

used to say when I was

25:41

in my corporate job . I used to say to people

25:43

you'll know how good a team

25:46

is when the manager is

25:48

absent and the team still

25:50

runs smoothly . So

25:52

, on that note , that's it . I will

25:55

see you in the next episode of

25:57

the influential woman podcast . Bye

25:59

for now .
