This has never been more obvious to me. You see, I got excited about an INCOME-GUARANTEED ($10K months) program I was launching. Ten spots. $1500 down.

One person paid and said, “Just paid! Didn’t read the whole thing! Can’t wait to find out more about what’s included! Just know I’m all the way in!” (TRUST!)

Four people came in with payment,
and THEN
started asking questions.
lol…

(TRUST!)

A couple more asked a few clarifying questions — which I hadn’t bothered to include in the sales invite language — before joining. Questions like,

Q: When does it start?
A: Pre-work is dropped on january 29th.

Q: How long does it last?
A: 8 – 10 weeks. I hadn’t decided yet?

Q: What is included?

A: Great question.

⭐️ TWO extended “jam sessions” with me, which I sell each month for $1197 each.

⭐️ Mini-mind gatherings for trainings, hot seats and the power of the collective.

⭐️ My eyes on your copy and offers.

⭐️ Unlimited email support.

⭐️ Group challenges, purely for momentum.

⭐️ Additional supplemental trainings delivered via pdf, audio and video.

Q: ULTIMATELY, what do I walk away with?
A: A proven system, pathway, JOURNEY to $10K months, with ease and on repeat…. that is built around YOU. Nothing templated.

Is it formulaic? Yes.
Because SUCCESS is formulaic,
but YOU add the flair,
the road will be walked YOUR way.

(I still have three spots left, but have so far oNLY sent it to one list. So if you want in, or have questions, lemme know in comments or via direct message.)

Today, i’m going live at 11 AM EST in the Women Who WOW “Warehouse” to teach the FUNDamentals of Certainty, Clout and Relationship Equity.

— Certainty — An unwavering philosophy (like a religion) It doesn’t have to be a WIDE SWEEPING philosophy, right? it can be a PINPriCK of certainty.

ALSO, how to determine your (most profitable) OWN zone of certainty;

— Clout — Plain and simple. When you talk people listen. You have influence.

ALSO, the KINDS of clout that matter today and how to get it without paying for it.

— Relational Equity — actual relationships with the market itself and with gatekeepers within that market.

I’m really excited! It’s all happening at 11 AM EST today. Also if you are NOT in Women Who WOW, how long has it been since I said, ” You have to be there!” lol… Message me for details.

**Picture in honor of my beloved Smallz who will be leaving us later today. He has been my faithful friend, my head of security, my constant shadow. He can Often be heard snoring or passing gas on my live trainings. 😊 I couldn’t have made it through these last almost 20 months (unbelievable) without him. He is well loved and he will be SO missed.

SOMETIMES LIFE GETS HEAVY

$

(Biblical and practical advice below.)

I was talking to my Mister recently about how life just feels….. hard, right now. Like, really hard. Harder than I think life SHOULD feel. And WAY heavier.

And to be fair, there has been a lot going on in my life. Some, I’m transparent about. Some, though, is just private. There’s a
Bible verse I love that says that BLESSINGS will chase me down and take me over. (Deut 28:2.)

But um…. let me be honest and say that while I’m VERY blessed….

** My business is booming in unprecedented ways, my family and I are all healthy, I am loved and cherished, I love my home, my community. I have the BEST of friends. I am a Nammy. I have my cousins, the BEST of Aunts. (Shout out to Darlene Woolard Biggs who has been way more than “just” an Aunt to me. happy “big” birthday!) My grandmother is still with us. **

So, yeah I’m blessed, but it certainly doesn’t feel like BLESSINGS are what’s chasing me. 😊 It feels like something else. lol…

When life gets heavy and tough, I always ask the following:

Does this CHANGE my destiny? Does it change what I’m after in this life?

So far, this answer has been a resounding NO.

Once that’s answered, I have to ask, WHAT POWER / TIME / SPACE will I give these current circumstances?

Because — you know — we have to do the human thing. We have to show up, do the things, grieve the things, blah blah blah. This takes time and energy, so I give it a time frame. (Side note: there’s no deadline on true grief, but you can draw a line in the sand between living AS grief itself and living WITH grief, but still actively living.)

This morning, in my prayer time, God revealed to me that i was entering every day with the leftovers from yesterday. i was carrying SOOOO much into each day, even as a greeted the sun, and prepared for a new day… i have carried the YUCK of many yesterdays into today.

So, I committed to NO LEFTOVERs.

Below are some Bible verses that have helped me today. If you’d like more posts like these, comment below. If you want help with your business, so that MONEY is no longer stressful for you, DEFINITeLY show up for my Project $10K Masterclass. 😊 Message me or comment for details.

Isaiah 43:18-19

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Philippians 3:13
Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

Philippians 3:14
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

Hebrews 10:39
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Isaiah 40:31
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Matthew 6:27
Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ?

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

“BUT MICHELLE, YOUR STUFF ISN’T WORKING FOR ME.”

$

**note: Throughout this article, I will mention “solutions” that YOU may love, or sell. I want to go on the record and say that ALL of them have their place. ALL of them can be useful…. IN THEIR PROPER place. So, please don’t throw THIS baby out with the bathwater.**

Of course I sometimes hear that my stuff didn’t work for someone or isn’t working for someone. MOST often in secret, as if they’ll somehow disappoint me if they don’t have consistent wins.

(I AM disappointed, but not in THEM. I’m ALWAYS on hand, ALWAYS in my member’s corners. And there is ALWAYS something we can do to turn things around. This post will detail the VERY SPECIFIC ways, the SMALL “little” things that keep people — even WOW members — from reaching that $100K, $150K mark.)

I ALSO hear from my members who are making $150K a month, quietly, under the radar, in simple at home business. Or the one who quietly just “mentioned” that due to my help, she quit her job, built a thriving business and bought her dream farm… using WOW principles and only working part time. (She’s single, too. No “man money.”) I hear from the ones for whom it finally clicks, and the money flow is turned on (and in the right direction.) I hear from the part time coach who makes $65k a month… and is considering letting her website go. (I told her to keep it.)

Sometimes I wish I was a more exciting person, maybe then I’d have bright shiny object after bright shiny object to whip out when people are struggling.

Oh, THAT didn’t work? try this. Still nothing? No sweat, THIS is brand new. Try that.

But the thing is,
BORING as it might be,
business success
which OF COURSE means MONETARY success
(profit, not just sales)
is predictable and replicable.
and it IS based on CORE principles that do not change.

So I want to share why “my stuff” might not work for you and also invite you into one of my MOST successful programs for free. No strings attached.

And even if you’re not a member of WOW, so you don’t “know” my stuff, it’s possible YOU are not making the money you want — AND DESERVE — in business. If so, keep reading.

You can go and chant an affirmative mantra somewhere
or work with a therapist to clear old traumas
or heal this chakra or that chakra…
(again, they all have their place)
BUT
as a woman who has BEEN actually broke,
as a woman who has NO back up money
not even a $250 limit credit card when I began my business
I can say with authority:

If you do NOT lock in,
practice,
rely on,
master
AND MAKE PART OF YOUR EVERY DAY
the principles of business…
you will never FULLY have monetize your business.

So, when people say “my stuff”
doesn’t work for them,
I look for ways they may have tried to “cheat” the rules.

(full disclosure: It’s NOT my stuff any more than gravity is my stuff. I know the RULES of selling, marketing, promotion AND positioning… and I follow them.)

Here are some “little” cheats that cost business owners BIG money.

💥 They THINK about consistency. And they ARE consistent… for a while. 😊 So, they go on again and off again…. and wonder why DEPTH isn’t building.

?? What if you treated a relationship like that? On again, off again… hot and heavy and then cold and dark? Yeah… the same result happens in your business.

Consistency
OVER TIME,
matters.

Sometimes it’s a matter of keep going. But not always.

💥 They are PSUEDO-connecting with their market. I have LONG said, “She who knows her market most intimately WINS.” I stand by that to this day. But connection takes YOU actually showing up and SOMEHOW engaging with your market.

Here is just ONE LITTLE way you can take GREAT effort, and still “cheat” on the connection bit of creating cash:

Prescheduled, software-generated conversations. I’m talking about all of it, the immediate message responses, the “pretend I’m live” webinars, anything where it LOOKS like an effort to connect, but
YOU
ARE
NOT
THERE.

(Again, no hate mail. I’m not saying these things don’t have their place, I’m saying that if you want more money… you have to be willing to CONNECT, vs. “simulate” connection.)

Again…
?? Prescheduled sex is sometimes a necessity (moms of young kids anyone??) and that is totally fine. It works. BUT what if I pre-scheduled it and then instead of showing up, I just handed my Mister some battery-operated male masturbatory aid?

Sure… copulation may happen… lol
but not connection.

💥 You are ALMOST Authentic. lol…

Examples: 1) you have an incredible idea for an email or for a post… but — of course — you turn to Chat GPT to actually write it.

or

2) You are struggling with something but you always look polished and happy and SUPER excited when you show up. (It’s OKAY… actually REQUIRED to be human. NO ONE is giddy all the time.)

or — brace yourself for this one —

3) You are selling a product
promising a result
that you do NOT know how to create.

Like maybe you’re selling some coaching container for success in a certain area, but your own life / business / marriage / whatever is a MESS in that area. You are a woman of integrity… your integrity WILL get in the way of you effectively selling something you KNOW you shouldn’t sell.

💥 You are doing damn near anything you can to avoid sales conversations. 😊

Look I get it.
I KNOW that famous person said that your funnel would be ALL you need.
It’s just not true.

NOTE: Funnels, AI, bots, a dedicated social media person… ALL of these are tools to create LEVERAGE. They are NOT to be relied on if you are just starting out or trying to push past that $100K mark.

If you want more money,
spend more time actually selling to people.

This can be done via email (as is my preference) or via social message… but it should be done 1:1 until you are no longer hurting for money. INVITATIONAL MARKETING is STILL a badass skill. People LOVE to be invited to join you. There is nothing wrong with putting an offer in front of someone and saying, “I just opened the doors on this and here’s why I think you should join.”

BUT don’t bother doing this if you aren’t willing to literally spend a bit of time getting to know them so you and ACCURATELY point them in the right direction.

Intimacy, connection = cash.
Distance = a DISMISSED offer.

Speaking of distance…

💥 You may be making things too complicated, creating unnecessary distance between you and your own income / sales. When someone is NOT making money, I take them through THIS process:

WHAT MUST HAPPEN for you to get paid?

Here’s a common answer, once I pull it out of them….but stay with me while I show you the MANY steps of using LIVE trainings to sell your stuff.

(Again, note: I actually USE live trainings. BUT if you are under $100k, $150K in your business, this should be a SUPPORT strategy… supporting your invitational marketing / sales conversations.. NOT as a stand alone strategy.)

1) HOPEFULLY your target market will see that you are doing a live training.
2) HOPEFULLY, they’ll remember to show up and have the time to watch the entire training.
3) HOPEFULLY, they’ll pay attention and stay until your pitch.
4) HOPEFULLY, they’ll be at home with credit card in hand and excited to click that link and buy.

I’m being a bit facetious of course, but a LOT can go wrong here. They don’t know you’re going live, or they get busy and forget. Or they catch you (YAY!) but they’re doing something else and so they MEAN to come back and watch the replay…. but in the frantic madness of social media, they forget. They could listen haphazardly and not get to your pitch. Or they could be listening while in the car, but not be able to buy while driving.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You can literally spend tens of thousands of dollars to hire a separate coach for every part of this process… one to help you be seen, one to capture email addresses so you can remind them that you’re going live, another to script your training so you can keep people on and engaged, another to build your offer and then another to create a “slide deck” for your offer…

But my point is this…
I like to LIMIT anything I have to HOPE for,
anything I can’t control.

A SIMPLE sales process is this:

1) Create offer you love and are excited about.
2) Make list of 50 people who ABSOLUTELY should join you for said offer.
3) Send 50 SEPARATE emails to these people with a personal note about why you thought of them and INVITE them to either BUY NOW and / or hit reply to ask you questions.

ALL OF THIS is up to you. No hoping. No guess work. No algorithms.

You can supercharge it, of course,
with scheduled emails,
live trainings or webinars,
social media posts… the works…
but the ACTUAL selling actions
have already been taken by you.

Guys, I STILL do this with every launch. THIS is good business.

HACK: Reduce your dependence on ANYTHING you do not directly control.

💥 You may have too big of a nut to crack, meaning your overhead is too big. This often leads to two things:

1) You might push yourself to sell big packages because you need big, fast money…
or
2) You might have a desperation energy that repels money.

HACK: Wealth is created when you generate more income than you need. BOTH ends of that equation are pliable. You can generate more and you can need less.

Soooo… I’m inviting you to join me for a 3-day Masterclass on generating a FAST $10K. It’s call Project $10K and, to be honest, I’m doing it live. You can “HOPE” to catch me later.

BUT if you wanted to give me your email address…
you’ll not ONLY get the masterclass,
but also:

— The Women Who WOW Way manual; along with 7 of our top templates on money making;
— Five servings of “Entrepreneurial Espresso” to power you through our masterclass week.

If you want in… Message me or comment below and I’ll shoot you the link.

THIS UNIVERSAL LAW IS — BY FAR — THE MOST EMPOWERING

$

It troubles / baffles / amazes me to see the growing deluge of women giving away their power…. not to “the man,” but to ANY variety of excuses.

Timing.
Genetics.
Bad Mom. Sneaky Uncle.
Hard times.
Industry woes.
Economic trends.

Bottom line: We live in a world of Cause & Effect. This is JUST truth, THE MOST empowering of Universal Laws. So, if you want a specific reality (EFFECT) to be YOUR reality, you must be willing to BE the CAUSE of that thing happening.

Yes, woman…
it’s up to you.
And it’s always been up to you…
so this world you see around you —

the man,
the house,
the credit score,
the bank balance,
the friendships,
the standing (or no standing) within your industry.

Yes, yes, yes… THIS is the world you created.
YOUR persistent thoughts, beliefs and actions.
created what you now see.

And if you want something different,
it’s up to you to CAUSE something different to happen.

You are FAR more powerful
— YES, even in “that ” circumstance,
whatever that is for you —
than you are giving yourself credit for.

And maybe that’s because if you ADMITTED that you ARE the cause in your own life, you would have to change some things. Maybe if you admitted (to yourself) how powerful you are, you’d have to let go of some of those excuses you’re clinging to so hard.

Look, in life… shit happens. No one has to remind me of that.
I have BEEN living this reality for what seems to be too long. I’ve suffered tragic loss and so has nearly everyone around me. My family has lost three people in less than 2 months. I’ve seen untold suffering that I cannot explain. Grief held me by the throat for longer that I wanted to admit. An aloneness that I’d never felt showed up and stayed for too long. Deaths. Illness. Unspoken challenges. Fears. Rejection. Betrayal. ALLLL of it. And there SEEMS to be no end in sight.

THIS can be part of the human experience. Until May 28th, 2022, I’d never known trauma, or grief. Until 2024, I’d never found myself in so many situations over which I had NO control whatsoever. I know more today than I want to know… about how life CAN unfold, DESPITE our best efforts.

But in business,
and this is important…
business is different.

Business has no free will of its own. It is an entity OF YOUR OWN creation. Business has no emotions of its own, it does what it’s told, and what it is DESIGNED and / or TRAINED to do.

This is INCREDIBLE news, because whatever you want in your business, you can LITERALLY “trigger” it to occur.

NO matter WHAT you want in business…

— more income,
— more invites,
— more fame,
— more respect,
— more leads….

Maybe you want to have people approaching YOU instead of you approaching them? Maybe you want to shorten your sales cycles or lessen the need for you to travel? Maybe you want to shift your income from trading dollars for hours to something more leveraged? Maybe you want the money to come in eVEN if you can’t show up pimping your stuff all day? Maybe you want to see REAL money vs. LITTLE money… finally.

WHATEVER YOU WANT in business
can ABSOLUTELY
be created,
by you.

Further, it can be TRIGGERED to happen,
i.e. CAUSE — EFFECT.
YOU can take specific actions
to create a specific result.

Don’t get it confused or more complex than this.
There is ALWAYS something you can do… today.

You GET to have EITHER those excuses you’ve been nursing at the teet… OR the results you want (and deserve.) You CAN have either, but you DO have to choose. You can’t hold tightly to those excuses AND live in the results.

If you are READY to take FULL responsibility,
remove the emotion
and the excuses
and the confusion…
YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

Enter: TRIGGERED,
Women Who WOW’s next intensive.
31 days of Proven Hacks for Triggering an INFLUX of Income, Leads & Invitations.

This will be more like a tool box than an intensive.
It will be a walkthrough of my MOST used strategies.

EVERY hack will include:

— EITHER a template; script or action plan.
— An implementation guide to help you FULLY pull the trigger; and
— A monetization guide to help you fully PROFIT from the trigger.

EACH hack is GUARANTEED and PROVEN to create an avalanche of three SPECIFIC things:

💥 Income: Learn how to TRIGGER income influx in your business. “Billing the herd” is a concept that I BELIEVE is first attributed to John Lennon, but I could be wrong. Either way, knowing how to quickly generate income — even with a small list — is critical for financial confidence.

💥 Leads: I can’t tell you the number of people who complain to me that they “feel like they’re selling to the same people all the time.” I get it, but what are you doing to bring in new attention, leads, people? If you don’t have an answer, the STRATEGY is simple. Learn how to build your OWN attention-machine. THANKFULLY for me, dancing in a bikini or dancing AT ALL online is not mandatory. lol…

💥 Invitations. This last one may seem out of place but it is SOOO critical… and also a bit cool. This is all about being INVITED into new spaces to sell. NO pay to play. THIS is about authority. And authority is a DELIBERATELY manufactured asset. It can be triggered, and then it should be VERY STRATEGICALLY built.

OH… and we have a BONUS training too:

💥 FLIPPING the SWITCH. WHAT IF you knew how to have prospects come to you??? What IF you could orchestrate it so that you didn’t have to constantly reach out… and in fact, you
could CHOREOGRAPH a natural flow, where people are pitching YOU? THIS is the power of flipping the switch.

We start on Tuesday with the following PRE-WORK: The Science of SETTING Triggers in your Business.

Guys, this is critical to begin our conversation on triggers. This is about SCIENCE and POWER… and the science OF power.

This is about faith and action.

It’s about grit.

It’s about the question, “What can we do?” It’s about YOU and your success. It may be my most favorite training of all time. Definitely MUST-ATTEND WOW training.

Message me for details on how to join. (Unless you’re a WOW member… because you already in and links will go out on Sunday and Tuesday.)

Things I have NEVER done to build my business to the success I enjoy now

$
0

❌ Pay to play media. (Stop pretending you didn’t know you paid $XXXX to be featured in that article. Woman it SAYS “sponsored.” Just yuck.)

❌ Pay to publish books or anthologies. (I LIKE anthologies but am not into vanity publishing. Also, I’ve just never paid to be associated with others. I earn my way in to elite circles… as an equal, not as a client.)

❌ Been a fan girl for literally AN-Y-ONE. As my Mom told me, “they put their pants on the same as you…. one leg at a time.”

❌ Like for Like / Follow for Follow campaigns. Follow me if you want. I’ll do the same. But these numbers RARELY have ANYTHING to do with sales numbers. (I routinely sell more MONTHLY than those with 250K TikTok Followers or 1 M Instagram peeps.) Buyers are DIFFERENT than LURKERS. You attract them differently and sell to them differently.

❌ Fought for the attention of the masses. I show up and speak with power and passion. I don’t need the masses to make millions and NEITHER DO YOU.

❌ Bought ads. (Ever.) You can EARN attention or pay for it. I’m old school. I could definitely have been here “faster” by buying ads. I have nothing against it for you. It was NECESSARY to use grit instead of gold… because when I began, I had no money to buy ads. And when I did, I no longer needed it. 😊

❌ Created ANY dependence on ANY media (social or otherwise) that I do not own and control. Bottom-line: I do not trust these platforms to have my best interests at heart. I USE these platforms as tools and MOSTLY in ways that few others (maybe no one) teaches. Hit me up for my special report on my own personal Syndication System.

❌ Dressed up or softened the truth because I didn’t trust my people could take it. I work with badass women. Period.

❌ Presented top line income parades and promises. What you KEEP of your income matters. A LOT of “industry leaders” in this space are operating at a pretty significant loss, MONTHLY. If you’re UP for that, follow them. Buy their stuff. Follow in their footsteps. i’m not about debt. I like financial freedom.

❌ Pimped my lifestyle as a selling factor. Why? My lifestyle would bore most of you to death. 😊 I LOVE this life. It is of my own unique design. I’m as (financially) rich as I’d ever want to be. But it’s not sexy. I don’t love to travel. I don’t live extravagantly. My best days are at home… listening to the birds chirping, writing. Dinner with my husband. But it’s about freedom for me.

My point in all of this is simple:

MUCH of what you think is necessary to succeed today is not necessary… There are INFINITE ways to create financial success as an entrepreneur. You MUST look at your business as a custom build and built it around YOU.

Also, for a bit more information, read these links. https://www.bmichellepippin.com/the-truly-successful-never-do-this/ https://www.bmichellepippin.com/think-like-elite-famous-rich-people-industry/ Six questions LEADERS never ask and also … a few thoughts on names you know and what THEY never do.

If I can help you make sense of what YOU’RE doing right now to build your income in business… private message me.
