Today I want to take this Monday Minute episode and I really want to reflect back on the last quarter . We are starting the fourth quarter and I really want to reflect on the things that I think made the third quarter for me as successful as they were .
I had my highest month for 2023 inside of the third quarter , and so I think it's really important to know why do I feel like this happened the way that it did ?
I will say that I am a huge believer and you may have heard me say this before , but it's worth repeating a million times I'm a huge believer that the effort that we put in in a 90-day period , we will really see and reap the rewards after that . I set my third quarter up for success because my second quarter was pretty much fire .
The two things that happened in both of these quarters that I think really propelled myself and my business was that I had two challenges . In the month of May , I had a challenge week , which was a free challenge that I ran . There was so much momentum created during this , which was basically the preface for the momentum eight-week mastermind that I held .
I think this really set me up for success because this week , maxout Media Challenge really created the snowball effect for the momentum eight-week program , which then fed into July , which was our . We always do hundreds of lives or changing lives .
In July this year we caught up the Just One Thing live challenge and every day there was a lesson and every day there were up to five challenges you could accept or decline . Although I think a lot of people in my world probably thought I was insane , probably thought it was too much , probably thought it was overwhelm , yeah , I did it anyhow .
Here's the thing and I'm a big believer in this and I want you to take this too I don't expect everyone to do everything . Some people blew my freaking mind and did it , but that wasn't the purpose , right ?
That wasn't the purpose for you to be someone to be in my eight-week mastermind or my inner circle and OmniVap and doing all the programs and doing all the challenges . Not everyone can handle that and not everyone should try to handle that .
But I was trying to offer something for everyone and during the month of July I also gave 10% of my proceeds back to a non-profit . I had two micro offers . That happened in the month of July , along with the month long challenge . I was selling every single day , and I do believe July was my highest month . It was insane .
I went to Palm Springs for a week . It was insane , but as insane as it was , I lived my freaking life . I had a blast . It was insane , don't get me wrong , but I had a freaking blast . This is not something I could sustain every single month . I totally get that and I would again never expect anybody else to try to do the same thing .
However , for me it worked . It worked , and could I do this once a quarter ? Absolutely , absolutely .
And so the momentum that I created in May , which propelled June , which led into July , which was the first month of quarter three , and then the whole month of July was a 31-day challenge , right along with two micro offers , because we had insta-story strategy , we had real estate convert .
We came off of June , which had activation program , and we finished up the momentum mastermind in July , and then we went right into August , which really was about the iconic brand that just came to me , not in a dream , but it did come to me , like in a non-traditional way , and now we're in raving fan season , and so I had this download and I asked my
inner circle yesterday . I was like I'm going to do this challenge . You guys want to do it with me . There's zero pressure , but if you want to , I'm going to do it . And in the past , when I have done challenges for myself , there was 100 lives in July of 2020 . There was 200 lives in July of 2021 .
I always make these rules and I always make it so much more difficult than it has to be . Here's the deal . There's no rules . I'm making 100 videos , but by the time I repurpose them , I'm making 100 videos . Okay , I'm making 100 videos , I am making 100 videos .
I'm personally probably not going to count repurposing them , but when we have a challenge , do what works best for you . I mean , I would love that by the time I count repurposing that , I'm at like 400 to 500 videos . Like that would blow my freaking mind . And so I'm super excited about the month of October .
It is my birthday month , it is the start of the fourth quarter . I am doing a 100 video challenge for myself . We have raving fans kicking off . I'm bonusing my Omni VIP a whole month of group telegram so that I can audit and help them with their content , and it's just going to be insane .
I also will be in Destin for a week with a retreat , so there's going to be a lot of things going on . I work better when things are happening . I work better when I'm living my life .
I work better when there are KPIs key performance indicators , in case anybody doesn't know when I have goals set for myself , not necessarily monetarily goals , but action goals , actionable , consistent action goals . This is over a five-minute Monday-minute , but I just feel like I need to reflect and recap .
And this , I believe , is the main reason why the third quarter was my best quarter , why the highest month of 2023 was in the third quarter . And , as business owners , it's really easy to get stagnant . It's really easy to get into this comfort zone that we love , even if we're pushing ourselves .
And I had to have this come to Jesus moment with myself in September and I said , oh well , wait a minute , you're comfortable . And For somebody that pushes themselves all the time , that's not easy to say to myself .
But what happens is I can push myself all the time , but then I get comfortable again and I realize , oh , wait a minute , I'm living the easy life Not really , but I'm living the easy path right , the easy actions , the easy to-do lists , which create lackluster results .
September was a great month , don't get me wrong , but it could have been so much better , and so I know that this is the challenge for me , along with my certification and the 35-6 hours that I got to do every single month .
I know it's going to be a lot and I know I'll be selling birthday offers and creating cash injections , but I just feel it in my soul that this is the right thing to do . And , if you guys know , I've talked about human design .
I'm a generator and it is a heck yes or a heck no , and everything I just said is a full body yes , and I know I'm in for this , and I think October is going to be a wild ride and I'm ready . I think fourth quarter is going to be a wild ride , and I'm ready .
The question is what are you going to do differently in quarter four to set yourself up for success ? Look at quarter three what went well and what can you use that as a model to build on for quarter four ? I figured mine out already . You get to look back and reflect on yours and figure out what is going to work for you .
If you ever need support with this , reach out to me . I am here , I would love to support you and this is a Monday 10-ish minute one now but I am totally here to support you and want you to have the best fourth quarter ever .
But we got to make that decision , we got to reflect , we got to review and we get to see where do I want to go and what do I get to do differently and what do I get to do more of and what do I get to stop doing to get there .
