418 | 5 Personal Finance Tips for 2025 | How We Automate Bills, Spending & Investing
If you’re still managing money manually, you’re not budgeting — you’re guessing. Automating these five areas will turn your budget into a stress-free system that practically runs itself.
Stop Guessing and Start Winning with Your Budget
Still transferring money manually on payday? It’s time to ditch the guesswork and put your budget on autopilot. These five automation tips are what we use with our clients — and they’ve been game-changers for building consistent financial peace.
What You’ll Learn
- The five key areas of your budget you should automate immediately
- Why separating your bank accounts is the ultimate money management hack
- How automation removes stress and prevents overspending
- A breakdown of how the Simplified Budget System helps you implement all of this with ease
Why Most People Struggle With Budgeting
Most people let their entire paycheck land in a single account and hope it covers everything. That “guess and swipe” method isn’t a plan — it’s a gamble. If you’ve ever felt unsure about where your money’s going or crossed your fingers hoping that your card won’t decline, you’re not alone.
But there’s a better way — and it starts with letting your bank do the work.
5 Ways to Automate Your Budget and Build Wealth on Autopilot
1. Automate Your Bills
Create a dedicated “Bills” account and set every recurring bill to autopay from that account — mortgage, utilities, insurance, everything. This is about trust: trusting yourself and your budget system. No more separate accounts just for the “big stuff.” Everything is streamlined, consistent, and automatic.
2. Automate Your Investments
Investing isn’t a luxury — it’s a non-negotiable. Treat your investments like a bill by scheduling automatic transfers from your bills account into your IRA, brokerage, or retirement accounts. Wealth grows when investing becomes a habit, not an afterthought.
3. Automate Your Savings Buckets
Stop “sorta saving” and start saving with purpose. Automate transfers into specific savings accounts: travel, holidays, emergencies, even oil changes. Label them clearly and let automation protect them from impulse withdrawals.
4. Automate Gas & Groceries
You need food and fuel, period. Set up a separate checking account just for gas and groceries and automatically fund it every payday. You’ll always have money for the essentials — no more skipping grocery week or relying on credit cards.
5. Automate Personal Spending Money
Yes, you’re allowed to spend on yourself — guilt-free. Create personal spending accounts for you (and your partner), and automatically transfer a set amount each payday. You get full freedom to spend it however you want, no judgment, no overdrafts, no stress.

📍 I was like, I’m never gonna sell real estate a day in my life like I am done. I remember signing that contract and crying
I wanna have my own brand. so I signed up for Brand Builders Group as a client. I walked into a in-person event. It felt this big. ’cause I had no idea who I was, knew that I wasn’t building what I wanted to build, and I was surrounded by all of these incredible people who were doing the thing I wanted to do.
I borrowed his belief in me until I could build my own. And that’s something that I really think that brand builders, if it’s not just the content, it’s the people in the.
that are gonna help you, you do that, help you, help you build your belief in yourself as you’re building your brand.
your brand is the digitization of your reputation, and so you are already, you already have a reputation. People know you for something already, Who is it that you serve and build everything around it. The problem that you solve for them, what it’s caused by. And then how you uniquely solve that problem.
When you get more intentional about what it is that you are communicating out into the world, what you’re putting out there about yourself, then people understand. Like understand who you are because you’ve intentionally told them who you are.
God has put a calling on your heart because someone out there is praying for you to help them with what you already know how to get through, and you’re gonna help them get through it faster.
We know a lot of you guys have businesses we attract who you attract who you are. And we have brought on a strategist from our this company that we joined called Brand Builders Group. They are absolutely amazing. Reshia is a podcast host and a personal brand strategist, and you get one when you join BBG.
And we are excited for her to share not only her journey, but what she does and what BBG can do for your business. Yeah, we love what she says. She says she helps people build. Personal brands the world can’t ignore. That’s what we’re trying to do with brand Builders group, the co the coaching company that we work with.
We’re trying to not be ignorable, do you think? I don’t know. And anyway, we love Reshia. She is our strategist and she’s gonna come on and tell us a lot about personal branding, about the process that we’re we’re involved in and what she does and how it helps people go from. Here to here, hopefully.
Yeah. And what branding is and what it’s not. Yeah. A lot of people think of just colors and, website design, but it’s so much more than that and so much deeper than that.
we are so excited, to have Reshia on our podcast on financial coaching for women. Mm-hmm. She is our, you know, our buddy, but also our strategist mm-hmm. For our personal brand. And she is a wealth of knowledge.
She’s super cool, super cute. Look at her, like look at and her background. Everything. Everything like you need, we need, everybody needs Reshia in her life just so they can. Feel ashamed about their decorating skills. I’m just kidding. Not really. Anyway, so welcome to the show, Fran.
Love it. Thank you so much. I’m so happy to be here.
Hi, now we are happy to have you. So you’ve been such a huge part of our journey with BBG and kind of where we started and where we are now. So just tell our listeners a little bit about you and your background and how you kind of got into being a strategist at BBG. Oh, should we say what BBG is? It’s brand.
Sorry, guys. Brand builders group. Yeah. Yes.
Love that. Yeah. So I guess this will kind of give some shed some light on Brand Builders group. So I am a brand strategist, so I get to work with you Lovely ladies. Building your personal brand now. How I got into this, I’ve been in real estate for 20 years, and about 20 years ago I decided I wanted out of real estate now, like immediately.
No, I’m
but that’s true also.
Yeah, that’s, that’s practically true. So I’ve exper, I’ve. I’ve been a top sales agent. I have led a team. I’ve been a branch manager. I’ve been a brand manager for realtors. I also launched an award-winning brokerage. I did all the things to kind of repackage and rebrand the role in real estate because I hated it so much and I just wanted something new, and I didn’t realize that until. I moved my entire family to Tennessee, so from San Diego, California to Nashville, Tennessee. And I was like, I’m never gonna sell real estate a day in my life like I am done. I, I’m, I’m gonna start something new. I’m actually, I opened a, a branding company and I worked with a winery. And I worked with people that are doing property management and helped them launch their brand. And then I worked with some really cool brokers who wanted to open their real estate brokerage and help them do that. And of course I got sucked right back into real estate. They’re like, you are really good at this.
Full.
how many times of us as well. Like, we’re told you’re so good at this and the money’s good and the, you know, fill in the blank. so I went right back in to real estate because I was good at it and because it paid really well, but it wasn’t my, my heart wasn’t in it. And then from there I got offered a job in real estate again as a sales manager. And I remember signing that. That contract and crying, but it was a big position.
I was a national sales manager. I’m like, well, this is all I know. I’m a one trick pony. I’m just a, you know, I’m just a, a, I’m just a realtor. I’ve been doing this for 20 years. It’s all I know. And I got to a point where I was like, I can’t keep going. is this stirring in my heart. I wanna have my own brand. I love podcasting. I, in my previous life, I did a branding in real estate podcast where I would drink wine. It was called Uncorked. It was my favorite thing. I went to Napa, drank for free, and and I was like, I want. I want to be a, I wanna have my podcast again. I have this book on my heart that I really wanna write. And so I found Sir Rory Vaden through a podcast, and he was talking about titling something, and I call him Sir Rory Vaden as a joke. But Rory was just listening to him, it was like, this guy is so much smarter than me and the branding space, like I need to learn from him. And so I signed up for Brand Builders Group as a client. I walked into a in-person event. It felt this big. ’cause I had no idea who I was, knew that I wasn’t building what I wanted to build, and I was surrounded by all of these incredible people who were doing the thing I wanted to do. And it made it real for me. It was like they’re out there and they are, you know, they’re speaking on stages, they’re changing lives.
They are like the happiest people I’ve ever met. I mean, you guys have been to our in-person events and you’re like, what’s in the room?
Yeah.
drinking?
what does everybody, what’s the Kool-Aid? Can I get?
Yeah, it’s the blue BBG Kool-Aid. I actually pump it into my veins. I’ve realized like I, you know, it flows in my veins and so I walk into the event and everyone just like uplifted me and gave me hope of like, this is what I wanna do.
I. And I did something that I would not recommend. I came home from that event and I called my boss and I quit. But my boss loved me so much that he was like, I’ll give you the runway while you’re building it. You just stay here until you’re done,
Oh.
you’re like ready to launch. and so that was incredible.
And I also met a strategist there. I was working at his table. They assigned me to the advance group on accident. I don’t know how that happened. Maybe I signed up for the wrong thing on accident. So I show up and I’m at the advance table and they’re already writing their keynotes and I’ve only been with the program for two weeks. So I walk in like one, I feel itty bitty, like I’m already, you know, I’m four 11 and a half,
Yeah, you are itty bitty, but then also.
I also felt itty-bitty walking in there. And and then I’m like, oh my gosh, I’m, I’m looking at my lanyard. I’m looking at the table, I’m at the speech writing table, and I’m like, I don’t, I don’t know how to write a keynote. I don’t even know what brand I’m building. Like I have no idea what’s going on.
Hey guys. In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Shana.
And I’m Vanessa. We’re the budget besties. We’re best friends and master financial coaches and we love talking about the B word. We help women who make good money but have nothing to show for it. Finally, set up a budget system that fits their bougie lifestyle. If you’re liking this so far, hit the subscribe button and stick around.
Your budget is about to get a major glow up.
And then Ben came up to me and introduced myself. He’s a strategist and he said, fellow strategist now. And he says to me hi, I’m Ben. Welcome, come sit with us. And just very like, welcoming, you know how everybody is at BBG. So he forced me to sit next to him, so I couldn’t run away screaming. And I worked with the group.
I got to see them collaborate. They were working together, helping each other, uplifting each other. And it was so incredible. I was watching him craft their stories and I was like, who is this guy? Like, how is he so talented? How does he know how to do all this? And so it was in that moment that I was like, I, I actually wanna work here. And I wanna do this. I didn’t know there was a role for just being a strategist. Or you could, instead of like designing, all the marketing pieces, you could just get in the weeds of someone’s business and just help them build it
Yeah.
and help them build their brand. And he said to me on day two, you know, how long have you been here? And I was like, oh crap, I’m getting kicked out. No, I’m at the advance table. I was like, just two weeks. And he was like, two weeks. And he is like, but how do you know so much about branding? So I told him my background, and he’s like, well, we’re not hiring yet, but when we do, I think you should apply. And I remember immediately I was like, oh, he says that to everybody. know, it’s like, but but I, what I did was I, I borrowed his belief in me until I could build my own. And that’s something that I really think that brand builders, if it’s not just the content, it’s the people in the
Mm-hmm.
that are gonna help you, you do that, help you, help you build your belief in yourself as you’re building your brand.
Yeah.
And so spoiler alert, I now work there. So about a month later, he reached out to me and he was like, Hey, we’re hiring. And I did an interview with our CEO and got the job like almost immediately. It was incredible and I have not looked back once. I love what I do and I love that I get to work with ladies like you.
Well, you sometimes love it, sometimes don’t. Let’s be honest about that. No, I’m just kidding. But really, so we, our business, we, we needed you guys sooner, but we, we did figure out one thing in, in 2023, which was we’re only gonna do financial coaching. Like that was a big deal for us and we big pivot, we cut everything else out that we took a year to really go in on that, get our podcast going.
And then the next year, the next thing was we joined Brand Builders Group and we were exactly, we heard Rory on several different podcasts. Mm-hmm. And we said. He gets it. We want, this is the kind of person we want to learn from. Not just like he’s super smart, but he’s also got the right heart and the right mindset.
Of course, his wife AJ as well. Anyway, and then we joined B, BG and so then you, they, we told them. By the way, so Brand Builders Group is gonna help you build your brand. It’s not necessarily about the, you know, the dollars and the cents, it’s the, like, it’s looking at your brand from a bird’s eye point of view.
Mm-hmm. And actually being intentional about it instead of what we were doing, which was random about it. But we. Took this opportunity and we said, but hey, we know for sure we need someone who won’t just let us roll, roll over them. Mm-hmm. Because we will, we will go a million miles a minute and, and they match us up with you.
Which I think is also very telling, you know, because we’ve worked in other coaching programs where. The, the coach did not match what our vibes at all. Mm-hmm. And that didn’t work. Or something even worse. They tried to change our business to match whatever they think the model that they had going on should be.
And that’s been the opposite experience we’ve had. We came in and said, this is where we’re at, and, and you guys really are just helping us refine and make it better and more polished, but it’s still true to us. Yeah. Well, and, and I think it’s really important to define here for those that are listening, like what is building a brand?
A lot of people, you know, for example, I was at a volleyball. Tournament tournament with my daughter and my husband, and one of the ladies says, oh yes, I love branding. I’m getting my new pictures taken and my website done, and my color’s chosen. Right? And you know, I, no offense, small-minded thinking about like not understanding what true branding is in a business.
And like, she has a small business and a, you know, locally here, but that’s all people sometimes really think about. They don’t understand. What it means to build your brand. So I was just wondering if you could tap into that and just really explain how this, how what brand Builders does is different than maybe what people think about building your brand Is,
Absolutely. So we say that your brand is the digitization of your reputation, and so you are already, you already have a reputation. People know you for something already,
Hmm.
when you get more intentional about what it is that you are communicating out into the world, what you’re putting out there about yourself, then people understand. Like understand who you are because you’ve intentionally told them who you are. And so it’s you going, I want my reputation to be helping, you know, women who make a lot of money, but just have nothing to show for it at the end. Like that is so clear. You know, the heart of who it is, and we start with who.
Who is it that you serve and build everything around it. The problem that you solve for them, what it’s caused by. And then how you uniquely solve that problem.
Yeah.
so when you look at it, kind of like there are there are people that are already known in their industry, but they would like to be more well known, right? And so we call that word being obscure. Like you might not say it, but there’s some obscurity there.
Mm-hmm.
And so what we do is we get very focused on going, okay, let’s communicate that problem that you solve. How you solve it and what method do you deliver it? What’s your, what’s your actual, like your primary business model that you wanna point everything to? Now, there’s a lot of things that we do to help people build the marketing, campaigning around your personal brand, but the personal brand is the foundation first. And then, you know, I mentioned writing the keynote. That’s a part of it. That’s part of selling. Your services. That’s a part of allowing people to know who you are.
I mean, how many times have you completely, like you don’t know who someone is, you are at a conference, and then they speak and they do such an incredible job. You feel so connected to them and now you are a huge fan. Like it creates fans. We also help people write their book and launch their book and help it make an impact, not just in the lives of others, but help them launch their business along with it.
Mm-hmm.
Another thing that we do is, yes, there’s, there’s website copy. There’s the way that your look, the way that your brand looks and feels, right? There’s that, but it’s all informed by the foundational pieces of what you want. The real, we call it brand DNA, ’cause it’s like the DNA, he looks of what your brand actually is.
What do you passionate about? Who are you passionate about serving?
Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, and I think what I love, one thing I love about it is it all builds on each other. Yes. So we’re taking, you know, the first puzzle piece, or it’s really not a puzzle piece, but the first thing, and then we’re layering on the next thing. And so you’re, you don’t ever feel overwhelmed.
Like, I, all of this stuff I have to do, it’s all literally gonna. Baby to build on on it as you go, and it’s gonna make it real easy. But I wanna go back to what you said about, you know, making your really honing in on who you’re serving. And for us, we had started to do that, but. But when we started working with Reshia, who identified a little bit with, with some of what we were saying just a little bit.
It’s a little bit that’s where we came up with bougie on a budget. That’s when we came up with it and budget besties. And the more that we say bougie on a budget, the more people are like, oh, that’s me, that’s me, that’s me. And the more we get like these raving super fans, it’s not, and it’s not that we didn’t mean it before, but we never had the language and the intentionality to like, call that woman out and say that we see you.
Come with us. Come on this journey with us and we’ll be bougie on a budget together.
Yeah. I love that. I. I love your brand. I mean, I identify with the word bougie
said that about everyone’s brand, Reshia? Yeah.
I do not listen. I I’m bougie on no budget, which is a problem I need to. So that’s, that’s like, I, I get the delight of working with so many different thought leaders and so many people that are more intelligent than me and I get to learn from y’all. And so and I also, I also feel seen with every client that I work with when they’re speaking directly to me. I can’t tell you how many times where I’m like. Okay. I’m your avatar. I’m Avatar is the person that you serve. I’m like, oh my gosh, I feel so seen. And it really does help. I think that maybe BBG didn’t know my expensive wine taste back then, but they definitely put us together for a reason.
They’re like, oh, wow. Yeah, Reshia would be a good fit for you. That works really well. And you know, the, the bougie on a budget, the funny thing about this is, I probably didn’t tell you this, but when we were stress testing it in the beginning, we got some feedback that was like, I don’t get it.
Mm.
but get this, do you wanna know who said that? Men.
Yep. Yep,
So
yep.
it’s ‘ cause you’re not bougie on a budget.
Yeah.
get it right. And so it’s like sometimes we get this advice from outsider voices who have not done the hard work, who aren’t familiar with our brand and who are not the people that we’re speaking to. And I love it when people who are, we are not speaking to, just don’t get it. We didn’t write it for
Mm-hmm.
And that’s the cool thing with really identifying like, okay, what is my brand is like you are gonna cut like straight to the heart of it. It’s
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
a sermon and going, oh, did that pastor call my husband before we got here? And like, he’s,
No, I love that. Please, please.
what to say
Yeah.
you walk out there going like, oh, I feel so seen.
And
Yes.
was about me. It’s, it’s
I feel so convicted.
So
No, I love that.
you know, when, when we first saw started talking about maybe writing our book, I was like, what? How do you, I can’t even, like, the idea of writing a book for me was so obscure.
But once we started doing the brand DNA part, and then we did the, the, the captivating content part, and I was like, oh, basically our book is written. But, you know, but you didn’t see it? I, I didn’t see it at first. It was an, a thought that was overwhelming until you guys took us through the small steps to get those pieces done, and then it was like the outline is there for you.
After that, it was like anything was possible. You literally use that content. For courses and for your speech and for all that stuff, and it was just really awesome to be able to see how well everything was laid out and how well everything intertwined and how you guys. Like told us and taught us how to explain it.
And it was just really it’s very thorough and like, just very thought out. Yeah. And what that makes me think is we, Vanessa and I were talking, I think we’ve told you before we wanted to level up Navar, which is the city that we live in, and they said no thank you.
They said, we don’t want to, that they said we are good, and we don’t want that from you anyway. And so what what this is, is this is not for everyone. Brand builders group is not for everyone. You know, you guys say you serve mission driven messengers. This is for people who have vision mm-hmm. And want more.
Like we, we see businesses around town. They don’t want more, they want the status quo and they’re, they’re, they’re good to do that. We that, but you, you know, what we are getting with brand builders is we’re more polished, we’re more intentional. We know where we’re going, we know how we’re getting there.
We’re we feel comfortable, you know, with what we’re saying and how we’re doing it. And we know we’re hitting the mark with our, with our audience. Like that’s what we want. And so this brand builders group is gonna help you do that if you want your business and your brand to go to the next level to be the what it’s actually capable of being.
That’s what you guys are gonna walk us through. Yeah. Well, and really quick, I wanna say, you know, we brought you on this podcast because we have a lot of entrepreneurs who listen and a lot of entrepreneurs who are our clients. So I think like probably 90% of all of our clients are entrepreneurs because it’s just, it kind of, you know, you attract who you are, it kind of goes hand in hand.
And so we know that our audience is gonna listen and, and really be able to resonate with everything that you’re saying. So I just wanted to throw that out there because some people will be like, well, why is this on this podcast? Because we have so many listeners. That, that are entrepreneurs that have big vision, have big dreams and we are excited to be able to share what you guys are doing and how you can help them.
I love that. Well, we have a book launch. Right now. So the owners, the founders of Brand Builders Group Rory and AJ Vaden wrote a book together and it is finally to Brand Builders Group. And what that means is like all the foundational stuff that we are just kind of talking about of like figuring out the who, the why. All of that is written in this book. It’s captured in this book, and it comes out July 1st. So depending on, you know, what time of the year you’re, you’re listening and tuning in. But the cool thing is before July 1st, we are giving away the audio book for free. And so I trust you gals are gonna put the link in there so that your viewers can grab that link and be able to learn the entire process.
Mm-hmm.
and then we also offer a free call. And the cool thing about the free call is we wanna hear about your dream. And we wanna show you the process of how we think that you can accomplish that dream, because there is actually a framework around it. And I didn’t know that. It’s just kind of like you, when you launch this, this thing that’s new, like when I, when I launched my brokerage, to read all types of books to figure it out, right?
Like of entrepreneurship and launching my business and, and so, with Brand Builders Group, it’s like it covers everything, even with launching your business. Like, would you say that as you’re launching something new, as you’re, as you’re building your business, like yes, there’s a lot of personal branding, but it also, they all inform each other.
Right? And so really just encouraging you that there is a, there is a process to it to make it easier.
Yeah.
it feels like hard work in the beginning there, it’s all gonna, it’s all gonna build upon on itself.
I was gonna say, you don’t have to do it alone. Like I think that was the whole, even though there’s two of us, a lot of people say you are so blessed to have each other like we are, however. It is still hard sometimes to do it and feel like we are alone in this. And so, like Shayna said at the beginning, we built our podcast with a different program, you know, before we found BBG and we found you guys and we knew that this was the next right step.
We had paid over $20,000 for the wrong coaching programs in the past, and this was exactly where we needed to be. It’s exactly what we needed at the time. Mm-hmm. And you know, you said that Rory and AJ are giving away the audio book for free. They’re. So giving, they’re such wonderful people, and when we found them, it wasn’t just, oh, this is the content and the course that we need or the coaching that we need.
It was, this is how the people who are building this company, we are so aligned with them and their morals and their values and, and how they view not just each other as husband and wife, but as business partners and as like team leaders in their, in their. In their business. Like we wanted to mo we wanted that, we wanted to model after them.
Like, they’re just so awesome. And can you say, I don’t know if you can say on there, like, the people that he has helped, like I know there are some people that like Amy Porterfield, like can, like he the people that he’s also helping little people like us, you know, like there’s huge people that he has worked with and it’s amazing.
And then, but also he gets to pour into little people.
Well, I, I mean, just watching, so even watching people who don’t have that giant platform already and watching them grow and make an impact. I mean, that is, that’s, that’s our favorite
Mm-hmm. Yeah,
And so yes, we, we are working behind the scenes with these large names that you’ve seen out there. And we are helping them still.
Like, even though they’re already well known, like I said, there’s, there’s
they’re already wealthy and well.
They’re already wealthy and well known, but there is a four phase process. And so maybe you’re launching a book and you wanna become a New York Times bestselling author, or now you’re like, I really need to scale my business and I really need to hire the right people.
Like we have a process for all of it. Like it all exists. There within our curriculum. And so that’s the beautiful thing, but watching people do what they feel is on their heart, like God has put a calling on your heart, I just wanna speak this into the women that are listening, God has put a calling on your heart because someone out there is praying for you to help them with what you already know how to get through, and you’re gonna help them get through it faster. By being obedient to that calling. And so the reason why it won’t let go is because these other women are crying out for you. And so God’s putting this on your heart because they need you and he’s trusting you to deliver it to them. He’s trusting you to help them with it. And so if you do feel that story in your heart, just know like that’s not an accident
Hmm.
that big. What you may feel is like a crazy dream. It’s not like God put it there for a reason, so explore it, get in the right room. Get with other people that are doing the thing that you’re so afraid to do, I’m telling you it’s gonna, it’s gonna help you build and you’re gonna be so happy that you did. I.
I love that. Well, yeah, there’s no reason to say anything after what you just said. ’cause you just really put a whole stamp and write. Mm-hmm. Wonderful book in on all of that. But I’m gonna do it anyway ’cause that’s who I am. Because Me too. I’m gonna ask, I I’ll wait, I’ll wait. But but I, I, I did wanna say, you know, it’s kind of like what we do.
You know, what you’ve said is there’s a framework, there is a, and what Vanessa said, there’s a process, there is a step-by-step and you guys have already figured it out. It feels like this personal brand is like an ethereal, maybe kind of this No. It is a step-by-step. There are checklists, y’all. You can just follow the steps and you will get to the place that you wanna go.
I think that’s very important for, for women to hear is you don’t have to figure it out on your own. We, they will tell you mm-hmm what to do, how to do it, and even like. Along the way. Even the little bits help you with it. Like help you build it and create it and, and alongside you. And I think that’s, that’s very encouraging to me.
’cause I don’t wanna have to figure it out and do it. I just wanna do what you tell me sometimes. Mm-hmm. And that’s really nice. And then the other part of that is, and so that’s, that’s good. That’s tangible. It’s also tangible that we had our very first launch that we ever did, we followed the system and little old us, you know, we’re not four 11, but we’re little in like that, that version of it for like our platform sizing for our platform.
We had a, we cleared $20,000 in our first launch and we kind of rushed it, you know what I mean? And, but we just followed the BBG framework and did what they said. Mm-hmm. And so it’s tangible in that they’re gonna tell you exactly what to do, and it’s tangible in results. Like our brand is absolutely growing because of BBG.
Yeah.
I love that.
it’s really true. And I will say I love being a small fish in a big pond. Meaning like when we walked into the room. The, our first accelerator event that we went to, I was like, I have never felt so small. Like there were people in there making millions of dollars. I’m serious, but like, I, but for me, that is like, I was like, yes, I’m exactly where I need to be.
There were people in there that were like 10 times more successful than us, and I loved every minute of it because I wanted to learn from them. They were achieving more than us. They, and, but then there were those that weren’t. Right. So there were, there were a lot of, as much as many people as there were.
You know, doing better than us or just farther along than us. There were the same amount of people that were at the same level as us, or even like, just starting out. But I loved it because it just, it showed me that you guys can help a business. Doesn’t matter where they are, like what phase they are in their business.
There’s multiple levels allow you to pick and choose like what fits best for you as far as, you know, financially or time-wise and all that. There’s just a lot of options and you guys can do so much with people, and we just so appreciate everything that you guys have done to Wes. As far as like the events, the online events, the in-person events, our, you know, having time with our strategists, it’s just really been a game changer.
Like Shana said, our brand is building and, and we’re so thankful for you guys.
Yeah. Aw, thank you.
Yeah. Well, I think that’s a a good place to end. And also I think, so Reshia, I think you have to go like, strategize with people and teach them to do more things, teach them things, right. She’s on a lunch break,
I do. Yeah. We’re doing a workshop. So part of what we, what we do at Brand Builders is we have all day workshops to just dive into your brand
