Transcript: Welcome back to another episode of Bella in your business. Oh my gosh. There's been so much happening and I'm not like over exaggerating. Some pretty incredible things have happened. So, you guys, if you are not following me on Instagram, why not go to Instagram, Bella Vasta and go ahead and follow me. Watch my stories. A lot of this stuff that I'm going to be talking about today is going to be seen on my feed and in my stories. And while you're at it, I would humbly ask you to like and share this podcast. I do this to try to, you know, get as much awesome inspiration and teaching out there as possible. If you've been a fan for a while, I, I talk to a lot of you where you kind of binge on Bella. I get messages from, you know, I know you binge and then you stop. Or sometimes you just listen to it every Thursday when it comes out. But go ahead and subscribe wherever it is you listen, whether it's on Spotify or, you know, Apple podcasts, anywhere you, you listen. I would really greatly appreciate that. Okay, so today I'm not going to stop talking about AI. It is literally the, the way the world's going. Last episode I explained to you guys what we're doing in the Mastermind, and things have been exploding in there. Absolutely exploding. I think I've already got about four hours worth of training in there just helping people. It's kind of all the same topic. But you'll get to see how we work it differently with everyone. Because I'm not gonna stop saying this. It's, it's not about prompting anymore. It's not about what's that one prompt? Because that still comes out generic. So I just encourage you to kind of join us and, and see it all. And I'm not, I'm not trying to advertise for the Mastermind. It's only 177amonth. It's month to month. You can use Bella 25 for 25 off. So it's 150. I guarantee you when you get in there, if you meet me halfway, I will not just make you your money back. It's, it's literally, I guarantee you I will make your money back and then some probably. But it all depends on how much you work with me. And I'm doing a lot, a lot, a lot of like just jumping on calls with people in there. And we do put them in there on the, on the, you know, in the group. So people can also learn from it, but, you know, we're all in there and there's so many questions. And we are talking about goals and vision this month, Next time, next month is numbers. And each month we're going to be talking about how AI relates to that. But, you know, I know you've heard me talk about AI and like I said, I'm not going to stop, but I still don't. I've heard people say, like, I know about AI, but I don't know if I can actually use it in my business now. Guys, we're not at the point where the robots are out, well, walking the dogs. I know that's scary for some of you. I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but we are at the point where you don't need to be working as hard as you are. And once it's. It, it's. It's literally not even a how do I do it? It's wrapping your mind around the behavior. And it's literally just as if, you know, when we had to use Dial up to get onto AOL to. Now we all have computers in our pocket or going to Blockbuster and getting that VHS cassette tape to just streaming straight from our couch, never having to get up. This is truly going to be one of the most fastest improvements in technology. And it's proven itself every single month after month after month. So, you know, maybe you're not sure how you can actually use it in your business, maybe you've dabbled in it, but then you haven't gotten the results you've hoped for. Today, I'm going to take things a step further. And I'm not just going to tell you why AI is a game changer. I'm going to show you how to start using it right now to make your life easier. I want to get you salivating, I want to get you excited. I want to get you to understand the vision of how if you work with this tool in a. In the proper way. Right. Because anyone can just jump on and do it. Um, and which tools? Because that's also something else. Like different tools do different things and they're good for different things. Can you use one tool for all of them? Sure. But there's sometimes some better options. And I want to make your life easier because I know that you started this business to have financial and time freedom and I know that many of you are, you know, in this conundrum of being too busy, burnt out, health issues, financial issues, you know, just unhappy life, or this isn't what I thought it was going to be, or, you know, swearing to yourself this was going to be the last holiday season that you're running around with a chicken with your head cut off. And that's, that's why I'm doing this. I really, truly want to help you guys. And I'm going to also share some exciting news about our AI lab and the amazing topics we're covering. You're not going to want to miss this episode. So let's be real. Trying something new can definitely feel overwhelming. If you're like me, I'm like, oh, not another software to figure out how to use, right? Because truth be told, a lot of us only use our softwares, our phones, our automations, probably 20% of what we actually can do. And I hear it all the time from pet business owners just like you. Maybe like I said, you've thought, I don't have time to figure this out or I've tried it and it didn't work the way I want it. That hesitation is absolutely normal because you need more things on your plate, like you need a hole in your head, right? But that just means that you're human. And I want to kind of create this safe space today to help get you to the point where maybe crack the door, maybe you can learn this. It's not hard. If you know how to talk and you can talk things out, you can do AI. I want you to remember that every big change in your business started with one single step. And all I'm asking you is to take that one tiny step forward today. Think about the first time you hired an employee or you started your business. It probably felt overwhelming to you, right? You didn't know where to start. Maybe you made mistakes. Actually, you did make mistakes. We all make mistakes. And AI is no different. You figured it out and you don't have to be an expert overnight. Just be willing to try. I need to tell you, like, I mean, even this morning I was so excited. It's freezing in Arizona. Like, literally it's 39 degrees at night. I don't know if you know that about the Sonoran Desert and I know that it's colder other places, but when you're also used to 115 degrees, that's cold. And so this morning I was really excited to make some, some grilled cheese and tomato soup. And my good friend and business partner over at Pet Care Team Training had sent me this awesome soup packet that I've been wanting to try. And so I made the soup and I took my last four pieces of cheddar cheese and made like two sandwiches on the frying pan. Well, I'm also in this, this whole thing of trying.
