Intro to Solarpreneur Podcast
00:00:03
Speaker
Welcome to the Solarpreneur Podcast, where we teach you to take your solar business to the next level.
00:00:08
Speaker
My name is Taylor Armstrong.
Taylor's Sales Journey
00:00:10
Speaker
I went from $50 in my bank account and struggling for groceries to closing 150 deals in a year and cracking the code on why sales reps fail.
00:00:19
Speaker
I teach you how to avoid the mistakes I made and bring in the top solar dogs of the industry to let you in on the secrets of generating more leads, falling up like a pro, and closing more deals.
Defining a Solopreneur
00:00:31
Speaker
What is a solopreneur you might ask?
00:00:33
Speaker
A solopreneur is a new breed of solopro that is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve mastery and you are about to become one.
00:00:41
Speaker
Hey, what's going on, solopreneurs?
00:00:43
Speaker
My name's Taylor Armstrong.
00:00:44
Speaker
We're back with the final episode of 2023.
Top 10 Episodes Preview
00:00:50
Speaker
In today's episode, we're going to be talking about the top 10 most anticipated, most viewed, most listened to episodes of this year, a sort of a year in review.
00:01:02
Speaker
So if you have not listened to every single episode of this year of 2023,
00:01:09
Speaker
or maybe you're a new listener to the podcast going through some episodes, this is a great place to get caught up and maybe just review some of the best episodes we had of 2023.
00:01:22
Speaker
So let's get into it.
00:01:23
Speaker
My name is Taylor Armstrong.
00:01:24
Speaker
We are here to help you close more deals, generate more leads and referrals, and hopefully have a much better time in the solar industry.
00:01:31
Speaker
We are coming back from holidays now.
00:01:36
Speaker
This is, I think, about a year ago this time we did the top episodes of 2022.
00:01:43
Speaker
So you could also go listen to that if you're new.
00:01:46
Speaker
But just a fun little thing I like to do to end out the year is recap some of the episodes.
Christmas Vacation Highlights
00:01:52
Speaker
Hope you had a great holidays if you are listening to this after Christmas.
00:01:57
Speaker
I myself, we had a great time.
00:02:00
Speaker
I went on, we actually went on a little Disney cruise.
00:02:04
Speaker
Bahamas, went to Disney World for a day.
00:02:08
Speaker
Great little vacation we had.
00:02:11
Speaker
So if you have kids, would definitely recommend the Disney cruises.
00:02:14
Speaker
If not, probably not worth it.
00:02:17
Speaker
The price you pay, I don't think.
00:02:19
Speaker
To me, the food was just about the same as every other cruise ship.
00:02:23
Speaker
But hey, they got some great stuff for the kids.
00:02:27
Speaker
I have a two-year-old and a four-year-old at the time of this recording.
00:02:31
Speaker
So we definitely had a good time just letting them run around with Mickey Mouse and dropping them off at the kids club.
00:02:39
Speaker
That's what's nice about the Disney cruises.
00:02:42
Speaker
They got these kids clubs you can drop them off at.
00:02:45
Speaker
Although the one for the two year olds, apparently they charge extra until they're three years old.
00:02:52
Speaker
So that was kind of annoying.
00:02:54
Speaker
They made us separate the kids into different kid clubs.
00:02:57
Speaker
Hey, but I know you probably didn't come to the podcast to hear all about my family vacations.
00:03:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:03
Speaker
But in case you're wondering, there you have it.
00:03:05
Speaker
That's what I did for my Christmas vacation.
00:03:09
Speaker
Yeah, you can hit me up if you want to hear more details about that.
00:03:12
Speaker
Let's jump into the recap of the year.
Reviewing Top Episodes of the Year
00:03:15
Speaker
So I'm going to be counting down 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:03:17
Speaker
We're going to go through...
00:03:21
Speaker
What I thought, a combination, they're not necessarily all the most downloaded episodes, but a combination of the most downloads and just my opinion on the most value I got and the reception I got from you, the listeners, just a combination of all those weighed into these rankings here.
00:03:41
Speaker
Okay, so let's jump.
00:03:43
Speaker
Let's jump into it on number 10.
00:03:45
Speaker
And last thing I'll say, you definitely want to stay till the end of this podcast, because we are giving you a little gift to end out the year here at Solarpreneur.
00:03:55
Speaker
So stay tuned till the end.
00:03:57
Speaker
And I'm going to give you guys the gift.
00:04:00
Speaker
Okay, but let's jump into it.
00:04:01
Speaker
Number 10 episode of 2023.
Sales Lessons from Jake Paul
00:04:05
Speaker
was this was episode 368 on August 8th, Cell's Lessons Learned from Jake Paul.
00:04:14
Speaker
And this is just kind of my opinion.
00:04:18
Speaker
I thought it was a clever little episode.
00:04:20
Speaker
I recorded this right after watching the Jake Paul documentary on Netflix.
00:04:26
Speaker
A great documentary.
00:04:27
Speaker
You can go watch it.
00:04:29
Speaker
But I thought it was just some good lessons I learned that relate a lot to sales.
00:04:34
Speaker
So if you are a fan of boxing, if you're a fan of social media influencers, and if you like some interesting connections made from that, go listen to this episode.
00:04:46
Speaker
Would recommend watching the documentary too.
00:04:48
Speaker
It's pretty inspiring what that guy does, the empire he's built.
00:04:53
Speaker
The drive he has, love him or hate him.
00:04:56
Speaker
Jake Paul, this guy has done some insane things.
00:05:00
Speaker
And just the hustle he has, the heart he has, it can definitely apply in our sales, our day-to-day sales.
00:05:07
Speaker
And just building a business, pretty much all the aspects we have as solar salespeople, as solopreneurs.
00:05:16
Speaker
So go listen to that one.
00:05:17
Speaker
That's August 8th, episode 368.
00:05:19
Speaker
Okay, number nine.
Doug Robinson's Solar Success
00:05:22
Speaker
This was the episode with Doug Robinson.
00:05:25
Speaker
It's how to leave a lasting legacy in solar.
00:05:28
Speaker
This was episode 347, May 19th.
00:05:32
Speaker
I like this one a lot.
00:05:34
Speaker
The reason it didn't rank higher is because unfortunately, I forgot to hit record on the microphones I had brought for that podcast.
00:05:46
Speaker
So the only audio we had was from...
00:05:48
Speaker
my iPhone that I was recording on.
00:05:51
Speaker
Unfortunately, it was not the greatest audio.
00:05:54
Speaker
So that's why it's ranked number nine.
00:05:55
Speaker
I think you're gonna be much higher.
00:05:57
Speaker
But as far as the content goes, I thought it was just great content.
00:06:02
Speaker
Doug Robinson is just an inspiring entrepreneur, has built up one of the largest solar companies now in the country, Legacy Power.
00:06:12
Speaker
And it was just great to hear his perspective on things.
00:06:14
Speaker
He's been in sales for many years.
00:06:17
Speaker
He's just hustled his way to the top.
00:06:19
Speaker
And what was really interesting is hearing about their split with Sunder.
00:06:27
Speaker
Many of you that have been in solar for a while know that Legacy, a few of their top leaders broke off and built Sunder.
00:06:36
Speaker
And it was this this huge thing at the time.
00:06:39
Speaker
Tons of reps were leaving legacy over to Sunder.
00:06:42
Speaker
And now I think legacy is doing much better.
00:06:46
Speaker
No, no hating on Sunder.
00:06:47
Speaker
But I think legacy is definitely recovered from that.
00:06:50
Speaker
But it's a cool story to hear how they made their way through that time and just recovered from sort of a blow to the company.
00:07:00
Speaker
So go check out that episode.
00:07:02
Speaker
Very cool story and very cool to hear how Doug Robinson has built up legacy power.
Favorite Solar Sales One-Liners
00:07:08
Speaker
Okay, number seven.
00:07:09
Speaker
This was May 2nd, episode 343.
00:07:14
Speaker
This was another solo episode that I did that I thought I got great feedback from.
00:07:21
Speaker
And the episode was the best solar one-liners, right?
00:07:24
Speaker
And one-liners are some of my favorite things.
00:07:27
Speaker
It's kind of like your dictionary, your thesaurus, so to speak, of...
00:07:35
Speaker
of solar, right?
00:07:36
Speaker
So I'm all about learning cool new one liners, cool new ways to sell.
00:07:40
Speaker
So what I did with this episode, I took some of my favorite one liners, combined it into one.
00:07:46
Speaker
Some of them are one liners that I've adopted from other people.
00:07:50
Speaker
Some are one liners I've taken from guys like Taylor McCarthy,
00:07:55
Speaker
A lot of other guests we've had on the podcast.
00:08:00
Speaker
And what I do, and I would definitely recommend everyone else, is keeping just a note in your iPhone.
00:08:06
Speaker
Hopefully you all use iPhones or a note.
00:08:10
Speaker
Maybe you write stuff down.
00:08:12
Speaker
Maybe you're old school, but just keeping a little notebook, little notes of all the cool one-liners you hear because you're going to forget them.
00:08:19
Speaker
And you'll build kind of a library over time of lines you like.
00:08:24
Speaker
And these things can be really powerful.
00:08:27
Speaker
Right.
00:08:28
Speaker
I think of it sort of like your I'm I was a musician before I got in solar.
00:08:34
Speaker
So I like to think of it as maybe it's like your scales.
00:08:38
Speaker
You know, when you first learn the piano, you learn a C major scale.
00:08:41
Speaker
Then you learn a G major scale.
00:08:43
Speaker
Then you learn D major.
00:08:44
Speaker
You're going through the scales.
00:08:46
Speaker
Right.
00:08:46
Speaker
So these are kind of like your building blocks.
00:08:48
Speaker
OK.
00:08:49
Speaker
And it's not like the most important thing, but it's cool to know these little one liners.
00:08:54
Speaker
They can help you out in certain situations.
00:08:57
Speaker
Same with handling objections is important, but got some good feedback from this.
00:09:02
Speaker
And so that's the one that you can go check out.
Travis Hartman's Sales Journey
00:09:05
Speaker
In number six, this was we had actually three that we did with the guys over at Momentous Solar.
00:09:14
Speaker
And the first one was with Travis Hartman, good friend of mine.
00:09:19
Speaker
This was August 27 or 22nd, sorry, episode 372.
00:09:21
Speaker
This one was called How to Build Insane Momentum.
00:09:28
Speaker
And Travis, he's a guy that's what's what was really cool.
00:09:32
Speaker
Travis, he had hit me up a bunch in the beginning asking me for tips, had done some training with their team, worked with them for a year over at a company called Future Homepower.
00:09:43
Speaker
And that's where we got to know each other really well.
00:09:45
Speaker
But before I joined them,
00:09:47
Speaker
Um, I was like going back and forth, giving them tips, giving them advice.
00:09:53
Speaker
And then, um, as we worked together for a year, I started to see this guy just take off, close more and more deals.
00:10:01
Speaker
And then all of a sudden he is just closing 15, 20, 30 deals a month, um, in the summer and just, um,
00:10:10
Speaker
just absolutely blows, hits it out of the park.
00:10:15
Speaker
And so it's cool to just see his journey.
00:10:19
Speaker
And their big thing is momentum.
00:10:21
Speaker
That's why their company is Momentous Solar now.
00:10:24
Speaker
So go check out his story.
00:10:26
Speaker
And then you can hear how he just went from someone that was just asking me for advice all the time.
00:10:32
Speaker
And now he came on the podcast and I'm the guy asking him for advice, which is really cool.
00:10:37
Speaker
OK, so go check out that one.
Cade Hill's Deal Closing Success
00:10:39
Speaker
Really cool.
00:10:39
Speaker
And then we're keeping it with Momentus for actually the next two.
00:10:44
Speaker
This was number five.
00:10:47
Speaker
We got a setter to closer to closing 200 plus deals.
00:10:52
Speaker
That one was with Cade Hill said another moment.
00:10:55
Speaker
This guy episode 375 September 1st.
00:10:59
Speaker
And this was another cool story because Cade, he was someone that set for quite a while.
00:11:05
Speaker
I think if I remember right, he was setting for like six months, which you think of someone that's closing 200 plus deals in a year.
00:11:13
Speaker
For me, I'm thinking, OK, this guy must have been like a natural from the beginning.
00:11:16
Speaker
He must have been closing right off the bat.
00:11:19
Speaker
Well, no, Cade was opposite of that.
00:11:21
Speaker
He was setting for a very long time before he actually got into closing.
00:11:26
Speaker
And then once he started closing, he
00:11:28
Speaker
He just had that really solid setter foundation and it just allowed him to take off.
00:11:34
Speaker
So I thought this was really cool because usually I hear more and more these days people have this negative connotation with setting.
00:11:42
Speaker
They want to get to closing as quick as possible.
00:11:46
Speaker
And especially after hearing that this episode, I thought to myself, that's not always the case, guys.
00:11:52
Speaker
in a lot of cases, should stay as setters longer, and they should not be ashamed about setting.
00:11:58
Speaker
We shouldn't have a negative connotation with setting.
00:12:00
Speaker
Because I think a lot of times it can actually benefit them to stay as a setter longer.
00:12:06
Speaker
And maybe they do what Cade did, stayed six months as a setter, and then all of a sudden they just take off closing.
00:12:15
Speaker
Yeah, so this was cool.
00:12:16
Speaker
And he also included a lot of one liners he uses.
00:12:20
Speaker
He went through his clothes and he's right now.
00:12:24
Speaker
I know at Momentus, at least last time I talked to these guys, he is their top closer.
00:12:31
Speaker
And Travis and Ricardo are kind of taking over more of the owner responsibilities, I guess you could say.
00:12:40
Speaker
But anyway, so that's episode.
00:12:42
Speaker
That's number five.
00:12:43
Speaker
Go check out that one.
00:12:45
Speaker
And number six, last one with Momentus was with the one, the only Ricardo Richie.
Ricardo Richie's Rapid Achievements
00:12:51
Speaker
Hey, you probably know this guy's name.
00:12:53
Speaker
He was one of our top episodes of 2021.
00:12:57
Speaker
I think it was.
00:12:58
Speaker
Yeah, I think it was two years.
00:12:59
Speaker
We did the first one.
00:13:00
Speaker
Hey, and another guy that I worked with over at Future Homepower.
00:13:05
Speaker
This guy, he just does incredible things.
00:13:09
Speaker
I think he really just set the new four minute mile.
00:13:14
Speaker
you could say in solar.
00:13:16
Speaker
The first episode we did, I think he had done like 400 plus installs that year.
00:13:21
Speaker
And this one, the cool thing that he did, the cool milestone that we talked about in the podcast, which was 378 September 12, by the way, is he did 100 plus deals, I think it was like 112 deals in 60 days.
00:13:35
Speaker
And
00:13:38
Speaker
And even more impressive, he did this after the net metering deadline in California.
00:13:43
Speaker
And this was April this year.
00:13:45
Speaker
People were saying, oh, solar is going to be dead in California.
00:13:49
Speaker
People aren't going to sell anymore.
00:13:51
Speaker
You know, you had companies moving to other states.
00:13:53
Speaker
People were losing their minds.
00:13:55
Speaker
Well, Ricardo, he went out and did 100 plus deals in 60 days.
00:14:00
Speaker
In California, in a time period when a lot of companies have left, a lot of companies had gone out of business and people were counting California out saying solar is no good there anymore.
00:14:12
Speaker
He did 100 plus deals.
00:14:14
Speaker
So I thought that was freaking awesome.
00:14:16
Speaker
He talked about how he did it, the mindset that it takes to achieve something like that.
00:14:21
Speaker
And then another takeaway I got from that was just connecting your desires to your actions.
00:14:28
Speaker
Okay, so he talks about a lot of people, they have set these lofty goals, they talk, but they're not willing to do the actions that actually takes to achieve their goals.
00:14:39
Speaker
So cool, just a little breakdown he did with that.
00:14:43
Speaker
And definitely worth listening or re-listening to.
00:14:46
Speaker
Hey, and number seven.
00:14:50
Speaker
This was where I guess number four.
00:14:53
Speaker
Sorry, getting these reversed here.
00:14:55
Speaker
So number four, the top four of the 10 episodes of 2023.
00:15:02
Speaker
This one was I just thought this was kind of funny and unique.
00:15:06
Speaker
This was October 20th, episode 390.
00:15:09
Speaker
The episode title was Analytical Scientist Close Live Footage.
00:15:14
Speaker
And maybe content wise, maybe this isn't the world's greatest.
00:15:18
Speaker
But the reason I put this on this list is because something that happens in the episode that has never happened before.
00:15:25
Speaker
And that is I got some live footage of a close I had gone into.
00:15:30
Speaker
I recorded it and I played some bits and pieces of it in this episode.
00:15:35
Speaker
And I didn't close this guy.
00:15:37
Speaker
But what was really funny about this is the customer or the prospect in the recording, he somehow Googled it, found the podcast, listened to it.
00:15:50
Speaker
And I didn't get his permission to at the time, I didn't have his permission to actually include the footage in the podcast.
00:15:58
Speaker
So he actually texted me about it.
00:16:01
Speaker
You know, I was kind of upset in the beginning.
00:16:04
Speaker
But long story short, I did get his permission later to keep the podcast up.
00:16:09
Speaker
Otherwise, I wouldn't be including it in here.
00:16:11
Speaker
Would have deleted it by now.
00:16:13
Speaker
But yeah, just some footage of this really analytical guy, how I handled it, the good, the bad.
00:16:21
Speaker
And a lot of I think we probably had, I don't know, one or two podcasts a month where we got live footage, broke it down, whether it was from myself or from other people from YouTube.
00:16:32
Speaker
And I think that's something that people appreciate.
00:16:35
Speaker
Let me know.
00:16:35
Speaker
Hit me up if you liked those types of episodes or want more of that.
00:16:39
Speaker
But yeah, this one just caused some drama.
00:16:43
Speaker
Almost had to take it down.
00:16:44
Speaker
But if you were following me on social media at the time, I shared some of the screenshots.
00:16:50
Speaker
But basically, he acted a little upset.
00:16:52
Speaker
But then I said, hey, I can take the content down.
00:16:57
Speaker
Take the recording down.
00:16:57
Speaker
He's like, no, it's fine.
00:16:59
Speaker
And I think he actually...
00:17:01
Speaker
in a way, like appreciated that he was being featured on the podcast and gained some respect.
00:17:06
Speaker
Funny enough.
00:17:06
Speaker
Okay, but that's a that's number four.
00:17:09
Speaker
All right.
00:17:10
Speaker
And so we are entering the top three.
Jeff Mendez on Vivint and Investment
00:17:12
Speaker
Give a little drumroll if you're listening.
00:17:15
Speaker
The top three, number three of the top 10 podcasts of 2023 was episode 401 from December 1st.
00:17:25
Speaker
The title was from VP of Vivint to Investor.
00:17:28
Speaker
That's with Jeff Mendez, Poppy Mendez.
00:17:31
Speaker
And if you have been in door-to-door, if you have sold for a while, you should know Jeff Mendez.
00:17:37
Speaker
This guy is one of the godfathers of door-to-door.
00:17:41
Speaker
was the VP over at Vivint, just blew Vivint up.
00:17:45
Speaker
And anyone that's been in Doradoor knows of Jeff Mendez.
00:17:48
Speaker
This guy is a legend.
00:17:50
Speaker
So really, it was just a guy that I had been trying to get on for over a year, I believe.
00:17:55
Speaker
We'd gone back and forth, had it scheduled one time, but I think he had a death in the family, so we had to reschedule it.
00:18:04
Speaker
And finally got him on towards the end of this year.
00:18:07
Speaker
So it was just incredible to hear this guy's insight having been in door to door so long, the lessons he learned over at Vivint, just how to grow a team, the consistency it takes with your teams, how you should structure meetings, all his experiences was incredible to hear.
00:18:24
Speaker
And then he also got onto some investing.
00:18:27
Speaker
To be honest, investing stuff, this Jeff is just like on another level when it comes to investing.
00:18:33
Speaker
I'm still, I would say, a beginner when it comes to investing.
00:18:36
Speaker
So we didn't get super deep into that.
00:18:38
Speaker
But even some of the little talk we had about investing, even some of it was already getting over my head.
00:18:45
Speaker
You can tell he has a very deep understanding of how to invest and real estate.
00:18:50
Speaker
Just incredible.
00:18:52
Speaker
So go listen to that.
00:18:53
Speaker
You definitely don't want to miss out with Poppy Mendez.
00:18:55
Speaker
That was just recent.
00:18:58
Speaker
So it's probably fresh in your mind if you've been keeping up with the podcast.
00:19:01
Speaker
All right.
00:19:01
Speaker
And then the second number two on the list.
Timeless Sales Techniques by Tom Hopkins
00:19:05
Speaker
Give it up for my man, Tom Hopkins.
00:19:09
Speaker
All right.
00:19:09
Speaker
So Tom Hopkins, another legend, another OG guy.
00:19:13
Speaker
Not necessarily in door-to-door, but just sales.
00:19:16
Speaker
You probably read his books.
00:19:18
Speaker
So this was from the beginning of the year.
00:19:20
Speaker
We went to a conference with Tom Hopkins over in Arizona.
00:19:24
Speaker
I had the opportunity to go with a knock star down there and we, we won a competition.
00:19:31
Speaker
So we got to go to an event at Tom's house, going as boats.
00:19:35
Speaker
And I think it was just once in a lifetime opportunity, hanging out with a sales legend, winning the competition, celebrating, celebrating,
00:19:42
Speaker
Was just awesome to hang out with everybody there.
00:19:46
Speaker
So, yeah, we did this podcast and it's called the OG Cell Secrets that stand the test of time.
00:19:52
Speaker
So we just got into really like, you know, he's been training in cells for forever, probably before most of us were born.
00:20:01
Speaker
that listen to the podcast here.
00:20:03
Speaker
And I think that was really what we focus on.
00:20:07
Speaker
Like, hey, what are what's changed?
00:20:09
Speaker
What are some things you're seeing?
00:20:11
Speaker
And what are the sales tactics that work back then when you're first training that still work?
00:20:17
Speaker
And a lot of them are the same, which you can probably imagine.
00:20:21
Speaker
So this was really cool, just brushing shoulders with a legend.
00:20:25
Speaker
And he's been working with Taylor McCarthy over his knockstart for a little bit.
00:20:29
Speaker
So just hearing how he is tied his training techniques and what he coaches on in the soul right now.
00:20:37
Speaker
So go check that one out.
00:20:38
Speaker
That one was definitely a yeah, just a guess that's I dreamed of having on the show.
00:20:45
Speaker
And shout out to Taylor McCarthy for helping me get him on the podcast, too.
00:20:49
Speaker
All
Achieving 1000 Installations with Mike Brands
00:20:50
Speaker
right.
00:20:50
Speaker
And then number one, this was our also our most downloaded episode of 2023.
00:20:57
Speaker
OK, so another drumroll.
00:21:00
Speaker
Give it up for.
00:21:02
Speaker
Mike Brands.
00:21:03
Speaker
And this was how to reach 1000 personal installs.
00:21:07
Speaker
It was from April 4.
00:21:08
Speaker
Sorry, April 28.
00:21:10
Speaker
It was episode 342.
00:21:12
Speaker
And this one, Mike's just someone that I think is one of the top guys in solar for sure.
00:21:18
Speaker
I mean, how many people have over 1000 personal installs?
00:21:21
Speaker
Very, very few.
00:21:23
Speaker
So really cool to hear his story.
00:21:25
Speaker
This guy has been in solar forever.
00:21:27
Speaker
He knows he knows what to do in solar.
00:21:31
Speaker
And I think why it was so popular is because he breaks down his exact clothes.
00:21:36
Speaker
He gives you his lines, his one liners.
00:21:38
Speaker
He gives you his experience.
00:21:40
Speaker
He gives you what it takes to actually get these accounts installed.
00:21:44
Speaker
So just super rare to talk to a guy that actually has a thousand installs and that's going to give you line by line exactly what he's seeing and exactly what it takes to get those kind of numbers.
00:21:55
Speaker
Okay, and I think it's a problem we have in solar.
00:21:59
Speaker
We talk about cells, but as we should all know,
00:22:02
Speaker
Cells don't matter unless you get that baby to install, unless you get the glass on the roof.
00:22:07
Speaker
That's what this podcast was all about is getting the actual glass on the roof, not just getting 1000 cells, but getting 1000 installs.
00:22:15
Speaker
So if you want to reach a milestone like that, definitely check out this episode.
00:22:19
Speaker
And this is one that I think is worth listening to multiple times because Mike gives you his exact wording, his exact clothes that he uses.
00:22:28
Speaker
So that's a wrap.
00:22:30
Speaker
Those were our top 10 podcast episodes of 2023.
00:22:34
Speaker
And I think all these are definitely worth re-listening to, even if you listen to all of them.
00:22:40
Speaker
I know I'm definitely planning on going on re-listening to them.
00:22:43
Speaker
Sometimes that's a mistake I have is I record the episodes and I'm like, you know, I had the conversation with them.
00:22:49
Speaker
I don't need to listen to these.
00:22:51
Speaker
Well, I think mastery comes with repetition.
00:22:55
Speaker
So we need to be listening to a lot of these trainings on repeat to actually fully digest the content.
Top 10 Episodes Curated List
00:23:03
Speaker
Okay, and now, as I promised, I'm going to give you a little gift for staying till the end.
00:23:09
Speaker
Okay, so the gift that I have for you is we actually reworked our top 10 podcasts episode list of all time.

Speaker

00:23:43
Speaker
but it should just be spelled out top 10.
00:23:46
Speaker
So T-O-P and then the number 10.solarpreneurs.com.
00:23:52
Speaker
I'll double check it while I'm saying that.

Yep, worked for me.

Speaker
So spelled out top and then the number 10.solarpreneurs.com and that's going to take you to the updateds.

And I can't wait to get into 2024.
00:24:27
Speaker
Let's make it the best year yet in solar.
Upcoming Events and Discounts
00:24:30
Speaker
Hey, 2023 was an up and down year.
00:24:32
Speaker
It's been a year of highs.
00:24:34
Speaker
And then now, you know, getting towards the end of the year, a lot of people have been on a low.
00:24:40
Speaker
seeing that solar maybe isn't as good in their markets, sales have been down.
00:24:45
Speaker
So let's use 2024 to get back to business, right?
00:24:49
Speaker
To crush our goals and to hit new records.
00:24:52
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:53
Speaker
And that's what we look forward to doing over here at Solar Printer.
00:24:56
Speaker
We're going to have some exciting guests coming up.
00:24:58
Speaker
I'm planning on going to the usual events of 2024.
00:25:02
Speaker
We got SolarCon coming up.
00:25:05
Speaker
We got Door-to-DoorCon.
00:25:07
Speaker
Which, by the way, that's another gift I have for you.
00:25:10
Speaker
If you have not gotten your ticket yet to any of these events, we will post them in the show notes.
00:25:17
Speaker
But I know I have a discount code for door to door con, which is coming up, I think, on the 24th and the 25th of this month of January 2024.
00:25:29
Speaker
And that's Armstrong 20.
00:25:30
Speaker
It's going to get you an extra 20% off.
00:25:34
Speaker
And I think they have a deal going for like 30% off right now till the beginning of the year.
00:25:41
Speaker
So if you're listening to this, have not gotten your ticket yet, go grab it.
00:25:45
Speaker
You should be able to stack those discounts and look forward to seeing everybody at some of these events coming up.
00:25:52

00:25:53
Speaker
We'll see you guys in 2024.

Speaker
What's up, solopreneurs?
00:26:02
Speaker
Hope you enjoyed the episode.
00:26:04
Speaker
Before you run out and start selling more solar yourself, wanted to let you know about an exciting new cheat sheet we created specifically for you and mine's.
00:26:15
Speaker
One of the top questions I get asked on Instagram, on Facebook by our listeners is, Taylor, where should I start?
00:26:22
Speaker
What episodes should I listen to in the podcast?
00:26:25
Speaker
You got too many podcasts, man, because now we have over 200 episodes.
00:26:29
Speaker
So what we've done, we created the top 10 most downloaded, most listened to.
00:26:35
Speaker
And I would say widely accepted most useful podcasts that we've done here on Solarpreneur.
00:26:42
Speaker
We put them together all in one sheet so you can go, you can hit the ground running, especially if you're new and you do not want to not have this sheet.
