   Make Money in the Last 90 Days

   It is almost November, and you are wondering if you can still hit your number this year. I get this question from clients every year around this time. The first thing I ask is how much money do you actually need between now and December 31st. Most women cannot tell me. They just know they are behind. So that is where we start in this episode. We get your number, and then we go get your money. There is an order to doing that, and most of us start in the hardest place we could pick. I call the whole thing Revenue Triage, and your rule for the rest of this year is closest money first. IN THIS EPISODE The 4 places your money can come from before December 31st, and the one almost all of us run to first Why Revenue Triage works the way an emergency room does The client who was sitting on tens of thousands of dollars she had already earned What is really going on when you do not send the invoice The biggest month I have ever had in my business, and where that money came from DO THIS NEXT Go get your number before you listen. How much do you still need to bring in before December 31st. Keep a notepad next to you. You are going to be making some lists. Whatever you find, put that work in your Money Hour. RESOURCES MENTIONED The episode on protecting a Money Hour: How to Sell When Your Calendar Is Already Full IF THIS WAS USEFUL Go leave a 5 star rating and write a review. That is how other women find this show. Send it to a friend who is doing this same math right now. Then come tell me your gap number on Instagram at @JamilaPayneMBA. I read them and I answer them.

   How to Sell When Your Calendar Is Already Full

   A full calendar can hide an empty pipeline. That is the part nobody warns you about once your business starts working. You can have a week with no white space on it and still have nothing on that calendar that leads to a sale. Client delivery fills it. Meetings fill it. Content fills it. All of it looks like business. None of it has a buyer waiting at the end of it. In this episode, I am walking you through the Money Hour. It is the hour I protect every day for work that leads directly to a buyer. It is also the fix for a week that manages to be busy and quiet at the same time. IN THIS EPISODE The signs your week is packed with work that will never produce a sale What I see when I open a client's calendar and go looking for the money What actually counts as a Money Hour, and the one question that settles it Why learning and preparing feel so much like progress, and what your brain is really rewarding when you do them The 4 rules that keep this hour from getting eaten alive by everything else The number of sales conversations you had last week, and why that number tells you more than your hours do What your Money Hour is for when you have nobody to follow up with Why you can run this hour for weeks and swear nothing is happening The test that tells you whether building your new offer counts, or whether it has become the most respectable hiding place in your business DO THIS NEXT Open last week's calendar. Count the hours that had a buyer at the end of them. Then count the ones that did not. Sit with the ratio. Count your sales conversations from last week. Just the number. No explanation attached to it. Put a Money Hour on tomorrow's calendar. Name it and give it a time. When a client takes that hour, move it to later the same day. Do not delete it. Run the build work test on whatever you are making right now. Look for a date and a list of people waiting. If either one is missing, that hour belongs to a conversation.

   Is the Yap Challenge Worth It? I Posted Daily for 40 Days

   I have been visible for years. Stages, podcasts, rooms full of my people. Social media has been a different story, and after my marketing assistant transitioned out of the company a year and a half ago, I was barely posting at all. So I joined Jessi Jean's Yap Challenge. Forty three days, forty of them posting. Eighteen reels and seventeen stories in June, some of which took me three and four hours to make for sixty seconds of video. In this episode, I am giving you the full report. What the challenge actually taught me, what it cost me in time, what happened to my numbers, and what I would tell you to do if you want the same result without paying for it. In This Episode The reason I avoided Instagram for eighteen months, and why "I was busy" was never the real answer Three signs you are sitting exactly where I was sitting, and one of them sounds like a responsible business decision What happened to my follower count after forty days of posting, and why I am doing it again anyway The number on my dashboard that went up almost six hundred percent while my follower count sat still Why Jessi's launch worked, and the naming lesson inside it that has nothing to do with Instagram Resources Mentioned Send me a DM on Instagram and tell me how many days you are committing to: @JamilaPayneMBA If This Was Useful Leave a five star rating and a written review. That is how other women running real businesses find this show. Then send this episode to a friend who is brilliant at what she does and nowhere to be found online. You know exactly who I am talking about.
