Are you making it harder for you to make money?
Are you making it harder for you to make money?
If you don’t have the results you want, you may make it harder to make money.
Here are some ways I see my clients (with me being my number one client) make it harder to make money.
1. Perfection. Thinking everything should be perfect before they put themselves out in the world. They rewrite and edit what they are saying to ensure it is excellent and no one gets offended, especially the grammar police.
2. People-pleasing. We need everyone to be happy with us or what we say. We freak out when we have a person unsubscribe or leave our group and make it mean something about us, OR we want to say the right, polite, and kind thing to the people who will never be our clients OR worse yet tailor or business and marketing to please the person who has an opinion. Yeah, they will be happy, but do you know who will be unhappy? The person you can help who is struggling with the thing you can help them solve.
3. Hiding and making it hard for our customers to find us. We are hiding in groups, in our homes, and behind being friendly and polite and not telling our customers how they are struggling and how we can help them.
4. Being indecisive and not making effective business decisions. The longer we are indecisive, the longer we go without serving and supporting our people to solve their problems.
5. Signing up for programs and not doing the uncomfortable work or not using them to get the results you signed up for.
6. Not creating awareness of the energy we are using to take action. We are using things like shame and guilt as a motivator. We beat ourselves up, hoping that we would be uncomfortable enough to create change. The problem is we rob ourselves of happiness and enjoyment in the present for the desire for a future that will be better, but we are only hurting ourselves and slowing us down from creating the results we want.
All these patterns seem necessary and essential, but it costs us the money we want to make. Cleaning up even one process is like taking the break off and moving the money train faster.
