In this episode, we're going to talk about why I don't want
Speaker:you listening to this podcast if you're going to vote for Trump in this election.
Speaker:Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach. And
Speaker:welcome to the weeniecast. I'm proud to
Speaker:announce that those of us at the Weeniecast hereby endorse
Speaker:Vice President Kamala Harris for president in 2024.
Speaker:Now, we're aware that no one asked us, and we're also aware that it's just
Speaker:the two of us, and I'm the only american, but I felt it was really
Speaker:important to start this episode on that note, because in this
Speaker:episode, we're talking about bringing up taboo topics in the
Speaker:marketing of your business and how it's actually kind of a
Speaker:good thing to do. Let's get real about something here.
Speaker:Small businesses do not have a marketing problem. We have
Speaker:a memorability problem. And as a small business
Speaker:owner, you have a choice. You can continue talking about the same that all
Speaker:your competitors are talking about, or you can
Speaker:share the occasional weird,
Speaker:different taboo topic
Speaker:and your opinions on it and have people actually remember who the
Speaker:fuck you are. And the best thing about doing this is you scare away people
Speaker:who you don't want to work with anyway. I bet you after that first
Speaker:line, people who are trumpers, I doubt I have many who listen to me
Speaker:anyway. But I bet you they disconnected. I bet you
Speaker:they hit a stop and they unfollowed this podcast and they went
Speaker:on their merry way. And that's fine by me. But I also bet you, those
Speaker:of you who are also excited for Vice President Kamala
Speaker:Harris to become President Kamala Harris might have leaned
Speaker:in a little bit closer, which, I mean, it's a podcast. It's not like you're
Speaker:leaning in closer to me. Maybe you leaned in closer to your phone. I don't
Speaker:know, how do people do that? But it made you feel like we were more
Speaker:aligned, and that's the goal. We're going to go through a couple
Speaker:taboo subjects that I encourage you.
Speaker:If you've been on the fence thinking, oh, maybe I could share this, or maybe
Speaker:not to just go for it. I'm going to talk through a few different
Speaker:ways you can do so without being super vulnerable. And I want to talk through
Speaker:first why this works.
Speaker:I want you to imagine that every single person, including yourself,
Speaker:is walking around with. With an invisible circle surrounding their
Speaker:head. And in the circle is everything that you
Speaker:love. It's everything that you like that you feel aligned
Speaker:to. So in my circle of influence, for instance, you'd have
Speaker:the celebrities, Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds and Ryan
Speaker:Gosling. I absolutely adore all three of them. And of course, a bunch of
Speaker:others. The tv shows, the West Wing,
Speaker:Bridgerton, the Marvelous, misses Maisel, except not the
Speaker:fourth season, just. It was very disappointing. Let's not go there. You'd have
Speaker:other things, like really good homemade jelly donuts,
Speaker:coffee, but not from Dunkin donuts. You'd have
Speaker:places like Rome and Montpelier, France and
Speaker:Paris and San Francisco and New York and Cape
Speaker:Cod, all places I love. And of
Speaker:course, the people that I care about, my friends, my family,
Speaker:the people that I feel close to, my clients, anyone whose side
Speaker:I feel on, you know, all the different authors and books that I
Speaker:absolutely love, you can't say anything bad about them. Now, other people's fear of
Speaker:influence may include other things, like sports teams, if they know
Speaker:anything about sports, could also be more heavily into music
Speaker:and have a bunch of different albums on there. Now, here's the thing about our
Speaker:sphere of influence, is that when we hear
Speaker:someone express positive feelings about the things
Speaker:that we have in our sphere of influence as well, we feel
Speaker:closer to that person. We trust them more, we
Speaker:feel more aligned to who they are. And when
Speaker:someone says something bad about anything in our sphere of
Speaker:influence, we actually feel like they've become the enemy.
Speaker:If I hear that you don't like coffee, I might think you're kind of
Speaker:a sociopath, but I'm probably not going to hate you versus. If
Speaker:you tell me that you don't like Ryan Goslingen, I'm sorry, we can't be friends
Speaker:anymore. It's not gonna work. Unfollow me. Go
Speaker:away. It may sound silly, but
Speaker:psychologically, when your sphere of influence has a lot of
Speaker:overlap with spherical influence of other people, you're far
Speaker:more likely to trust each other, like each other, and have
Speaker:relationships together. And I don't mean romantic relationships only. I mean
Speaker:friendships, business relationships. This is one of the reasons
Speaker:why when companies really prioritize hiring from
Speaker:a diverse pool of candidates for their sales
Speaker:teams, they actually tend to
Speaker:increase their sales numbers dramatically.
Speaker:Because instead of having, like, the same type of
Speaker:person selling to all the diverse customers that they possibly
Speaker:have, they have a team of really diverse human beings who
Speaker:have very different spheres of influence, who can connect
Speaker:with customers on different levels. And that, my friends, is how you hit higher
Speaker:sales numbers, because people buy from people that they like
Speaker:and trust. And of course, you're gonna scare some people away.
Speaker:You are absolutely going to scare some people away. And that is perfectly
Speaker:okay. It is perfectly fine to scare people away. And I'll use some
Speaker:numbers to give you an example here. So I speak English. I also speak a
Speaker:little French, but not well enough to provide any kind of service in French, okay?
Speaker:So I'm limited to only people who speak English. All right? And so I
Speaker:just looked up how many english speakers there are in the world today, and there
Speaker:are 1.446 billion people
Speaker:who speak English now, of course, like, let's discount
Speaker:that. Some are gonna be too young to work with me, some are gonna be
Speaker:too old to work with me, and all that jazz. So let's just cut it
Speaker:down to, like, half a billion people could potentially be my
Speaker:clients. That is a lot of people. That is too many
Speaker:people. I would never be able to help that many
Speaker:people in my entire life. Like, even if
Speaker:I magically got turned into an immortal, like a vampire
Speaker:or something, like, they would die before I had a chance
Speaker:to help them start a business. If I do the math, say I work with,
Speaker:like, 15 one on one clients per year, and I
Speaker:work for another 30 years. That's only
Speaker:450 people that I can help one on one in the next 30
Speaker:years. My group programs even have a cap in them. You know,
Speaker:really, I guesstimate the breaking point will go between
Speaker:40 and 60 people in my group programs before
Speaker:I'm not able to give the right amount of attention to each and every
Speaker:person. So let's just say I have 50 people in each program
Speaker:for the next 30 years as well. That's still only
Speaker:1500 people. So, added together,
Speaker:I can realistically only help
Speaker:1950 people in the next 30
Speaker:years and still provide an excellent service that I actually help them
Speaker:start their business and create a life that they actually want. I'm pretty
Speaker:sure out of a half a billion people, I can find
Speaker:1950 people. The key here is they
Speaker:have to be able to find me. They have to be able to see me
Speaker:sharing about something that I love or that I believe
Speaker:or that I stand for and think, wow, I
Speaker:like the same thing. I believe in the same thing. I stand for the same
Speaker:thing. I should connect with her. I should follow her content.
Speaker:And then over time, they can start learning what it is that I do for
Speaker:work. Over time, they can understand that I helped people exactly like
Speaker:them with the exact problems they have get to a better
Speaker:place. So when you think about sharing the taboo
Speaker:shit that people advise you not to talk about when you're talking about your
Speaker:business. I say that's bullshit. I say that's
Speaker:maybe important when you're a massive conglomerate like. Like
Speaker:target or Coca Cola, because your market is pretty much
Speaker:everyone. But even then, I think they would be better served if they stood
Speaker:up for some more shit. Let's dig into some taboo topics that I
Speaker:urge you to start talking about if you're brave enough, and I
Speaker:bet you it'll help you get clients.
Speaker:So, first and foremost, we're gonna dive right into it. Politics.
Speaker:What are your politics? Who are you voting for in this
Speaker:upcoming election? What do you believe in when it comes to politics?
Speaker:What issues really matter to you? It's an unfortunate state of
Speaker:affairs in the United States right now that if I talk
Speaker:about anti racism, if I talk about
Speaker:women's rights and autonomy to make choices about our own bodies and our
Speaker:own reproductive health, if I talk about the
Speaker:rights of LGBTQ folks, I tend to
Speaker:scare away a certain party.
Speaker:The members of that party don't align with me.
Speaker:And you know what? I'm so happy to scare them away.
Speaker:Ethically. As a coach, when you're working with a client, one of
Speaker:the things that you have to be able to say with complete honesty is that
Speaker:you want your client to succeed. And personally, if I
Speaker:think that someone's going to make a ton of money and then turn around and
Speaker:vote and donate to politicians who are going to take
Speaker:away my personal rights and the rights of women and the rights of
Speaker:LGBTQ folks and who are going to make the world
Speaker:far more dangerous for people who aren't white, I
Speaker:can't honestly say that I want them to succeed, and it would be
Speaker:unethical of me to take their money anyway. And really,
Speaker:for people who don't care about politics, who don't care about these
Speaker:issues, they're not my ideal clients, either. I
Speaker:have a deep passion for helping people who want
Speaker:to step into their power in the world to make it a better place
Speaker:and to do so through their business, to do so through work that they love,
Speaker:but also to do so as citizens of the world. And the first
Speaker:step to being able to do any of that is to give a. You have
Speaker:to care. So, talking about politics, for me, talking about the issues
Speaker:that I care about is a cornerstone of my business
Speaker:because it ensures that I'm attracting people who
Speaker:also want to make a difference for the better, who also want to make
Speaker:this world safer and I more equal for everyone
Speaker:and who want to make a lot of money doing work they love. Can't forget
Speaker:about that bit. So I urge you.
Speaker:Talk about politics. If you care about them, talk about
Speaker:them. Share your beliefs. Share what you stand for. Allow people to
Speaker:opt in and opt out. I promise you, you will have so much more
Speaker:fun and feel so much more fulfilled working with people who
Speaker:feel aligned to how you believe the world should
Speaker:function. And you'll also warn the rest of us if you have really shitty beliefs
Speaker:that we shouldn't give you our money. Please and thank you. So the Weenie
Speaker:cast is a podcast for people with ADHD
Speaker:who are entrepreneurs, business owners who want to
Speaker:succeed using their strengths as a person with
Speaker:ADhd and also want to bypass a lot of the bull that we have to
Speaker:deal with. This brings me to my next point is mental health.
Speaker:Mental health is a super taboo topic, we're told from a
Speaker:very early age, and maybe it's not even explicit. Maybe it's just something that we
Speaker:observe is like, don't let anyone know that you go to therapy. Don't let
Speaker:anyone know that you're struggling. You know, fake it till you make it was some
Speaker:advice that I got early on from a therapist when I was going through
Speaker:a depression because I think she thought it would help me. But I took it
Speaker:as something that, like, oh, well, I can't show people that I'm struggling to. I
Speaker:can't show people that I am dealing with
Speaker:mental unwellness right now. And I can't tell you how
Speaker:empowering it was when I dropped that bullshit. And I
Speaker:can't tell you how many people it actually helped to be open about
Speaker:my struggles with anxiety, my struggles with ADHD, my
Speaker:struggles in the past with PTSD. When it comes to sharing
Speaker:about mental wellness or mental illness, there's
Speaker:always this question of how vulnerable is too vulnerable.
Speaker:And let me tell you, there's no right or wrong answer.
Speaker:There's what's right for you and what's wrong for you. Okay?
Speaker:What's right for one person might not be right for you.
Speaker:Someone may feel very, very comfortable going on
Speaker:LinkedIn and sharing about their past struggles with addiction,
Speaker:whereas you may find it still a little too vulnerable to talk
Speaker:about how you struggled with anxiety in the past.
Speaker:You get to decide what that line is for you. But here's the cool
Speaker:thing about talking about mental wellness and mental
Speaker:illness and any kind of psychological diagnosis or
Speaker:struggles is that when you share, you normalize it for the people around
Speaker:you. When you share, you make it safe for
Speaker:others to talk about what they're going through. You create
Speaker:a space. You know, a lot of my clients work in very
Speaker:kind of intimate services where their clients are either going through like
Speaker:a health transformation or they're investing in
Speaker:executive or leadership coaching. And they have to be very vulnerable in these
Speaker:sessions. And getting clients online
Speaker:for something like that is pretty difficult, you
Speaker:know, if you're not willing to first be vulnerable in your
Speaker:content. Because what you're basically asking a bunch of strangers on the Internet
Speaker:to do is to be super brave
Speaker:and book a call with a stranger and divulge all the
Speaker:details of their life to you. Sharing stuff that is really hard
Speaker:to share with another human being. Things that you don't like about yourself,
Speaker:things that you feel shame around, the deep
Speaker:dream that you have that you don't believe is possible for you. You're asking
Speaker:strangers on the interwebs to just book a call with you, a perfect
Speaker:stranger, and share all that stuff without knowing
Speaker:anything about you, without knowing anything about your past and whether
Speaker:you're a safe space for this. Yeah, tell me how that goes.
Speaker:You know, we have this. We have this belief that for other people to see
Speaker:us as a good resource to help them with their lives, we have
Speaker:to be perfect. And that's absolute bullshit. When you show up
Speaker:as perfect, the standard you actually set for everyone around you is
Speaker:that they have to be perfect as well before they even reach out to talk
Speaker:to you. If you listen to this podcast, I bet you have some personal
Speaker:development books on your bookshelf. And I've said this before, I'll say it a
Speaker:gazillion times more. Go and check out the intro or the first
Speaker:chapter of those books. Most of the time, it's not about
Speaker:how perfect someone's life was. The amazing schools that they went to, the great
Speaker:jobs they've had. Like those may play a part, but more
Speaker:often it's about how they fuck up royally. It's about how they
Speaker:crashed and burned their life and how they crawled out of the
Speaker:deepest, darkest hole and made all these good things happen.
Speaker:Screwing things up and being imperfect actually builds
Speaker:so much more trust and credibility than being this
Speaker:perfect version of yourself. For example, I want you to think about
Speaker:a woman who's 35. She's just had her third baby.
Speaker:She's postpartum. She has this five month old baby who is not
Speaker:sleeping well. She has two other kids under five. They go to day
Speaker:care, thank God, or else she'd probably go insane. And she's
Speaker:looking in the mirror and she's like, you know what? I really want to lose
Speaker:20 pounds. I want to get back into a body that I feel more
Speaker:comfortable in. I know I'll feel more confident, and I know I'll feel
Speaker:healthier. Who do you think she's more likely
Speaker:to want to work with? The 22 year old perfect
Speaker:personal trainer who's 110 pounds soaking wet,
Speaker:who's always had the most perfectly sculpted body, who's
Speaker:super happy and go lucky all the time, and who
Speaker:works out seven days a week? Or the 40 year
Speaker:old personal trainer who also has a few kids,
Speaker:who has also struggled with her weight since becoming a mom,
Speaker:who also deals with the sleepless nights that come along with
Speaker:being a parent, and who understands the struggles
Speaker:that this woman is going through right now. Now she doesn't have the
Speaker:perfect body, and she doesn't have the perfect diet, and she
Speaker:doesn't work out seven days a week. By all accounts, the
Speaker:20 something year old who has the perfect body should
Speaker:technically be her go to. Here's the thing. She's not gonna
Speaker:feel comfortable being vulnerable with that personal trainer. She's not gonna feel
Speaker:like that personal trainer will understand all the nuances
Speaker:and struggles of her life, whereas the second personal trainer, the
Speaker:imperfect one, that's who she's going to trust. So as
Speaker:you're thinking about talking about what you struggle through, you know, I want you to
Speaker:think through, like, what have you already processed? What doesn't feel
Speaker:really vulnerable and icky to share right now? You know, stuff
Speaker:from when you were a kid, stuff from high school, stuff from your early
Speaker:twenties, things that you have seen the other side
Speaker:of and have some context for and some
Speaker:perspective on. You can absolutely
Speaker:share some anecdotes about those struggles in your past. And let
Speaker:me tell you, it will build so much trust and connection with
Speaker:the people who want to work with you, and it will make it so much
Speaker:easier for them to reach out to you and be vulnerable on a call with
Speaker:you so you can really easily determine if they're the right client for
Speaker:you. But again, this is up to you. You get to do
Speaker:so within the boundaries of your own comfort because,
Speaker:well, we are here to not be weenies. We're not here for
Speaker:vulnerability hangovers. There's no need to go there.
Speaker:Other taboo topics that you can talk about that will make your brand
Speaker:far more memorable, that will make your name far more
Speaker:memorable, that will make you the person that people think
Speaker:of as, like, this friend that they know from the online times
Speaker:are honestly talking about relationships, talking about
Speaker:sex, talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Last
Speaker:year, I went to this LinkedIn event in Denver, Colorado,
Speaker:and it was genuinely a bunch of people that I had never met in
Speaker:person before. These are all people that were showing up in my comment
Speaker:section. I would comment on their stuff. And let me tell you,
Speaker:I walked into this event and I didn't really
Speaker:recognize many people because it looks different from their profile picture, right? And
Speaker:also it's just different. Like they might have looked very similar to their profile picture,
Speaker:but it's very different going from two d to three d. And also LinkedIn has
Speaker:very small profile pictures. I would talk to them and like we'd kind of
Speaker:like be sussing out who is this person? I feel like I know them, but
Speaker:I don't really know who they are and they'd figure it out
Speaker:usually before I did cause I was dealing with multitude issues
Speaker:and I was a little out of it and I cackled at how
Speaker:many people were like, oh my God, you're the weenie lady who shares dating
Speaker:stories. And I think I've probably shared maybe five dating
Speaker:stories on LinkedIn in my entire four years of being super active on
Speaker:the platform. And I always share them in the context of like
Speaker:here was a terrible date that I went on and here's a sales lesson that
Speaker:you can take from it. Here's how this guy did not close the
Speaker:deal and why they lost the sale with me. And I do so from
Speaker:a place of like, I don't divulge any personal information on their part, I don't
Speaker:share their name, I make fun of the whole situation.
Speaker:I genuinely write these posts as I'm kind of giggling to
Speaker:myself. But they're real. They're real
Speaker:experiences that I've had and I use them to kind of showcase. Here's
Speaker:my expertise, here's my philosophy on sales, here's how I
Speaker:see that conversation going and how it could be better. They
Speaker:didn't remember that I was a business coach necessarily. They
Speaker:didn't remember that I helped people with their money mindset, but they did
Speaker:remember me. And someone who remembers you is
Speaker:far more likely to end up being your client or to refer business to
Speaker:you than someone who has no idea who the you are.
Speaker:You can share whatever part of you it feels correct to share.
Speaker:There's no right or wrong way of doing this. There's the right and wrong way
Speaker:for you to do this. So full permission here to experiment,
Speaker:full permission here to write something and sit on it for a while and see
Speaker:how you feel after a few days and post it later. Full
Speaker:permission to write something that's just on the edge of your comfort
Speaker:zone. And to post it and think, oh, my God, I can't believe I did
Speaker:that, and then just go and delete it. Sure, the Internet lives forever, but, like,
Speaker:you know, if you have 5000 followers on LinkedIn, no one gives a. If you
Speaker:posted something too vulnerable and then deleted it five minutes later,
Speaker:the pundits are on CNN are gonna be like, guess what?
Speaker:What Doreen Smith posted on LinkedIn today. You'll never believe
Speaker:it. She shared about her divorce. How shameful.
Speaker:They don't care. They have bigger fish to fry than you. Doreen, calm
Speaker:down now. And of course, we're talking taboo topics. You know, another taboo
Speaker:topic that you can absolutely talk about is money. Ooh, what am I gonna
Speaker:say next? Well, you'll have to keep listening to find out. But first,
Speaker:squirrel, squirrel, squirrel.
Speaker:And of course, we're talking taboo topics. You know, another taboo topic that you can
Speaker:absolutely talk about is money. And it doesn't have to be about how much money
Speaker:you make, which is a little gaggy, honestly. Cause who
Speaker:cares? But talk about something that you spent the most money on, that
Speaker:you've ever spent in your life. You know, talk about how proud you were to
Speaker:buy your first house. Talk about the shame of
Speaker:being in credit card debt when you were in your twenties. I've been there. I
Speaker:love it when people should talk about that stuff, because even though I coach people
Speaker:on money mindset and I've done a ton of work on my own, I
Speaker:still love seeing that reminder that I'm not alone. I'm not the only one who
Speaker:made really bad money choices in their twenties. If you want to
Speaker:align your sphere of influence with your potential ideal clients out
Speaker:there, sharing your unpopular opinions,
Speaker:sharing how much you hate a band for whatever reason,
Speaker:sharing how you think a certain book series is stupid,
Speaker:even though everyone else seems to like it, you know, sharing how
Speaker:maybe you've never watched Star wars, which whenever I tell people that, they get really
Speaker:upset. I can't tell you how many people have, like, vowed to make
Speaker:me watch Star wars. And now it's just like this little game that I'm playing
Speaker:that I'm just like, no, it's not gonna happen. And now I'm wondering how
Speaker:many messages I'm gonna get after the fact saying you haven't watched Star wars. What
Speaker:do you mean? I also haven't seen the Godfather series.
Speaker:And in contrast, you can also share all the things that you love, the
Speaker:things that you nerd out about, the stuff that honestly makes you
Speaker:a bit of a weirdo.
Speaker:And lastly, this is kind of a hard one for a lot of people, but
Speaker:sharing about religion. Religion is a big one. There
Speaker:are so many creators, influencers,
Speaker:coaches, business owners who use
Speaker:their christianity in their content. And
Speaker:you know, whenever I see that, I think that's so good for them. I mean,
Speaker:it doesn't align to me. I'm not religious, but good for them
Speaker:for incorporating something that feels super aligned to them. On the other
Speaker:side, the stuff that I feel really aligned to is the witchy. Talk
Speaker:to me about the spells ex speliarmus. Talk to me about the new
Speaker:moon rituals. Talk to me about the tarot cards and the astrology
Speaker:and all that stuff. I'm super down for it. Share with
Speaker:me your religious practices. Share with me this and that. Neither one
Speaker:is bad. You want people who are
Speaker:not on board with that stuff. If you're really, really
Speaker:passionate about it, you want to scare them away. You want to make it clear
Speaker:that your work is not for them because it's never going to be the right
Speaker:fit. And I know sharing this stuff can feel kind of
Speaker:ick, can feel really scary. It's stuff that's
Speaker:very personal to you. And what if people reject you for that? Well, if people
Speaker:reject you for who you are, let me tell you, the way
Speaker:they talk to themselves is way worse. The stories they tell themselves
Speaker:about what makes them lovable and deserving and worthy of would
Speaker:break your heart. The thing that you can actually do to help
Speaker:them is to stand in your power and be exactly who
Speaker:the you are, knowing that you deserve to have all the
Speaker:business and all the incredible clients and all the good things to come your way,
Speaker:regardless of who you are, regardless of how imperfect you are,
Speaker:regardless of what your beliefs are. They may not like it. They
Speaker:may write really nasty comments, they might dm
Speaker:you, they may talk behind your back. But hopefully
Speaker:someday it'll get through to them that, oh my God, that person's
Speaker:not afraid to be who they are. And if they're not afraid to be who
Speaker:they are, why am I being so afraid of being who I
Speaker:am? What's wrong with my identity? What's wrong with
Speaker:everything that I like and dislike and feel aligned to and believe in? If
Speaker:they could share all this taboo stuff and still
Speaker:be successful and still find their people out there in the world,
Speaker:maybe, just maybe, that's possible for me too. What a cool little gift
Speaker:to give the world, even if it does take them a while to unwrap it.
Speaker:So, my friends, with this I urge you, go be
Speaker:memorable. Go share taboo sh. T
Speaker:talk politics, talk religion, talk sex, and share it with
Speaker:me, especially if you're supporting Kamala Harris this election
Speaker:season.
Speaker:Well, let me tell you something. When I am president of the United
Speaker:States and when Congress
Speaker:passes a law to restore those freedoms, I will sign it into
Speaker:law.
Speaker:We are not playing around. Ha ha
Speaker:ha. Squirrel, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel.
