are you trying to please everyone?
Published: Sat, 03/21/15
Me neither.
Trying to follow all the different gurus, coaches,
programs, plans, strategies, and more is just
spinning you in circles.
What if (drum roll) you stopped following what doesn't resonate
with you and did what does resonate?
Are you worried it's different than what everyone else is doing?
Are you worried it hasn't been "approved" or isn't being
taught by the main stream marketers?
Are you worried it might fail?
I built my first business by doing things really differently,
and it worked.
I didn't have a coach, mentor, guru and the internet
was barely established.
Failure never occurred to me, I simply dove into hustle mode and
did whatever it took to make sure I would succeed in my big picture.
My little picture seemed pretty bleak.
I was upside down in serious debt ($70K), living in a cramped
apartment, with too many credit card bills, and a big car payment
every month.
Oh, and I'd also walked away from my job and the paycheck
that went with it.
Some would call that crazy, a few might call it brave.
I was stubborn.
I had to burn my bridges in order to ignite the
rocket fuel within me.
It was the best move I could have made.
In 18 months, I was debt free and earning six figures.
Three and half years later, I began coaching colleagues and other
small business owners in how to grow their business the way I'd
grown mine (except without all the messy mistakes I'd made.)
Take a look at your business, .
Where are the bridges you need to burn that will force you to take
the rapid right action you've been putting off?
Is it that you have a full time (or even part time) job that
provides needed income?
Write your letter of resignation and put a FUTURE date on it.
You'll be amazed at how fast you'll leap forward because you'll
feel that future feeling of freedom now and want to make it happen.
Are you staying in a toxic relationship until you get your
business where you want it? (I have seen this many times
and it breaks my heart.)
Put a date on how long you will wait for the
relationship to improve.
(BTW, relationships don't improve or change until we do.)
Then imagine working as if it already has.
(If you are waiting for a supportive partner, stop waiting
and start being supportive of yourself.)
When you are already established in a business but you've found
your growth stalled, in order to get to the next level, you've got
to let go of some of the things you are doing (burn those bridges)
so you can move forward lighter and brighter.
As Einstein once wisely said "We cannot solve our problems
with the same consciousness we used when we created them."
What are the bridges you need to burn?
If you are ready to stop stalling and start soaring,
reply to this email with the following:
1) What bridges are you ready to burn so you can
move forward rapidly?
2) How committed are you (scale of 1-10) to burning them now?
3) Are you ready to explore a different approach to getting
where you want to go?
I promise to be in touch with a reply and opportunity to
have a conversation based on your answers.
Here's to burning those bridges!
Hugs,
Melissa
