So you are fed up…
You have been giving it your all (or so you think), for some time now and nothing is working yet. Nothing is happening in your business, no cash is rolling in yet, you are still broke and you are getting fed up of this malarkey.
After all if you had spent all this time and effort at a job, you would at least have your wage packet being delivered to your bank account by now.
Seriously, when will things start to look up?
WHEN?
And so the seeds of doubt are placed in your brain and you wonder if you are wasting your time? Would you be better off in your job? Returning to the ‘sure thing’ career or sticking with it for a lot longer until you can see where this whole business thing goes?
At this point, you come across me and I fill you with hope that you can do it. However…
You have felt this way before and nothing has come of it in the past so why is this time going to be any different?
And so you ask the question…
“What am I doing wrong? Why is my business not working yet?”
And you wait with bated breath, hoping I have the miracle cure…
The push button system that is definitely going to work for you this time…
You are ready to do whatever I say…
You have pen to the ready, ready to take deep notes about the new and improved tactics that I am about to throw your way and you wait, you listen, you are poised to take action…
And then you realise…
You realise this is all stuff you have heard before…
It sounds slightly different…
Each person has their own different slant on the same old, same old…
And you start to get frustrated.
“I have done all this already! Where is the new stuff? Where is the magic?” Frustration is coursing through your blood and frankly, you wish all these ‘gurus’ would just tell you the truth about what it takes to succeed in business because you have done all this and it just ain’t working!
And then I look over at you…
And I can see what you are thinking because I have thought it a thousand times before…
I have sat where you are sitting and some days, I still sit there with my million dollar coach…
“What am I doing wrong? Why am I not making £334k each month yet? I am doing all the work, aren’t I?”
And here is the answer, this is what I say to you…
Listen in, now.
Don’t let it escape your attention…
“You are doing nothing wrong, you just have to keep at it consistently, without distraction. If you have not got where you want to go then you keep going. Simple!”
I know, I know…
It is not what you want to hear.
And yet, it is the truth.
The more harsh truth is that you have not done anywhere near as much as your favourite gurus have done so why on earth do you spend all that time comparing yourself to them?
That time could have been better spent creating content and putting it out in the world – Serving someone!
Enough of the thinking…
Do more of the action taking.
This reminds me of giving birth…
They tell you how much it will take out of you to give birth but you do not realise just HOW MUCH IT WILL TAKE OUT OF YOU until you have to just get it done.
What? Are you going to stop mid-birth and say “Haven’t I pushed enough yet? When is this baby going to come out already?”
You could…
But it just takes longer…
Do the work, Friend…
Just do the work.
And this is the very reason I pay a coach…
Not because I don’t know what to do, not because they have some secret knowledge that I cannot find out myself by reading enough books, blogs, attending webinars etc – and all for free.
Oh no! I pay a coach to work with me because I need to keep going when everything in my head says ‘STOP!’
‘GIVE UP’
‘ROLL OVER and submit, you do not have what it takes’
I pay a coach to hold me accountable…
I pay a coach to have those harsh conversations with me that I would not listen to anyone else about…
I work in mastermind groups and with coaches because I, like most human beings, have a tendency to take the wide road and get absolutely nothing done.
And I am done with that.
Aren’t you?
Much Amazing Love
