How are you doing? So in UK, we've had some pretty nice weather and we've been doing some updates to our garden. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see the garden which is back, and I'm really enjoying it. And also I'm growing plants and loving it as a way to turn off from work, which as you may know, if you've listened to this podcast for a while, I'm not very good at turning off. Cause I love what I do. And therefore it doesn't feel like work when I'm spending lots of time doing it, but obviously it's not healthy to work all the time. So I am working on finding other things and I'm quite likening, quite likening, quite liking the gardening. Anyway, if you're new to the podcast, this isn't something I talk about all the time. So don't need to worry a bit but like hang on that we're talking about marketing and business. I absolutely talk about that. So this week, although you have hit on a slightly strange episode, if you're new, because this week I want to talk to you about something I'm running and it's, and I've chose the subject to sit with what I'm running. So basically the whole thing is going to be talking about this new thing that I'm doing. So I am running a free bootcamp. It's called Create Your Dream Business Bootcamp, and I'm running it from, Oh, I knew this was going to happen. Like I should have this stuff in front of me. I'm running it from the 17th of May to the 24th of May. And as the title would suggest, it's all about how you create your dream business. But that's what I want to talk about a couple of things today. So I want to tell you what it's about and why you should come and join me. One because it's free. And two, because it's going to be brilliant. If you've never done anything like this with me before you are in for a three. If you have you know, the kind of effort I put into this and how much I love it and how much good stuff I give you. And this is going to be like, you've been on a webinar. This is like a webinar on, I dunno, drugs. Is that a phrase? I just made that up, but yeah. Anyway. So basically the bootcamp is aimed at helping you find a dream business. So let's start by. In fact, let me just tell you where to go to sign up for the bootcamp first. And I'll remind you again at the end. So you'd go to teresaheathwareing.com/bootcamp. So it's covering three main key parts and it wasn't until I planned out the bootcamp that I finally realized that actually these three parts of business are some of the most important parts. Like when I look at successful business owners, when I look at my success, when I look at people that I work with and whether they're successful or not. These three things are like key to running a business that is successful. So basically what's going to happen on a bootcamp is you're going to join me for those days. We're not working weekends. It's fine. Don't panic. So Monday you're going to have a workshop and we're going to go through step one. Tuesday, we're going to have a Q and A session. I'll go live in the group and it's a private Facebook group for anybody on the bootcamp. And I will answer your questions. Tuesday, not Tuesday, the Wednesday, the 3rd day, we're going to be doing another workshop session on 0.2. I'm going to go through these points in a second with you. Then on Thursday, you get to come on a coaching call with me and you might be one of the lucky people that get to do a hot seat with me. So this is where we put things into practice because you know what I love about any training or no I love all training, but there is some problems with it. The problem with training like this is that you're trying to relate it to your business. So those Q and A sessions and that coaching call and hot seat session is so important because you're going to be able to come to me with your business and say, "Okay, Teresa, you said X, Y, Z. How do I make that work for me?" And that is one of the most powerful things about this whole process that I've put together is that we're going to have those sessions. Then on the Friday, we're going to go through and have a, another workshop with the third step. And then on the Monday, we're going to have a celebration party where I give away every amazing prize. Where we review what we've done. And we look at next steps. So that's the bootcamp. It's going to be ACE so much good stuff. But let me tell you these three steps. So the first thing I'd say is when I first started my business, I never thought about these three steps. Okay. Because I don't think you do. I think, depending on how you get into business and mine was very organic and very quick. I didn't stop to think, you know, "Well, what do I want my dream business to look like?" I just, all I could think about was what I really need to do is earn some money, so I can continue to pay the mortgage, my daughter and I, you know, that's what I was concerned about. So I don't want you to think that if you've never thought about what do you want your business to look like and gone down that process, that, or some of these things don't kind of. Or you've not given it that much thought don't panic, because like I said, neither did I. But then once I kind of got in about, I don't know six months a year, I started to go, "Do you know what, this is working." And actually, and then I'm starting to work at what I like and what I don't like. And start to look at other people's businesses. And you just change. So I think it takes a bit of time. Now I'm not saying if you're in the first you know, months of your business, that this bootcamp's no good for you, not at all. In fact, if anything well done for jumping in and getting on straight away, but really, you know, wherever you are, I think this is really going to help you. So that was the first thing. So I never really thought about these things to begin with it. It's only, now I've stepped back and had chance to review and look at where I want to go and what I want to do. That now I can kind of work it out and work out how good these three steps are. So. Let's just talk, firstly, about what do I mean about a dream business. Now, for some people that dream business is going to look like a six figure business or a seven figure business. But I think the mistakes we made in the past that everyone assumes that's exactly what everybody wants. And that's not the case at all. And also they measured the success from that. Now, you know, if I don't have a six-figure launch, which I've never had a six-figure launch, I'm obviously not want to be bragging about sort of money and stuff, but from a launch I've never earned six figures like overnight. So people would, you know, when I look at the online space, lots of people would look at that and think, "Oh, you're a failure." Like, you know, your business isn't successful because you haven't had a six figure launch. But the truth is, I flipping love what I do. Like, I worked with the best people over the weekend actually, I went to see two of my members. Now, if you are not a member of my Academy and you're listening to this thinking "Wow she does that over Academy." I don't. Okay. Let's be honest. When you've got lots of people in the inner membership and all over the world, because we've got Australia and America and Germany and Europe, and then obviously the UK. Like, I'm obviously not gonna visit locations. But these two members just happened to be local. And one of them was doing a particular event over the weekend and the other one had opened a new store and I...
