This week I am feeling called to talk about the Fear of SUCCESS and specificially the TWO most common lies women tell themselves that hold them back from greatness. Now I’m sure many of you are thinking, “how could someone possibly be scared of being successful…..if only I could be successful by now”. As a former psychotherapist, current Confidence + Mindset Coach, and also a HUMAN, I will tell you THIS is a REAL thing.
I like to call this blog post the Customer Service/Etiquette 101 post. As a mindset and confidence coach I get clients coming to me at times reporting burnout. Their business is THRIVING, but their customers or clients are pushing the limits, asking too much of them, requesting refunds, or THEY are even firing their clients. Now when did it have to come to this in our industry where service providers are firing their clients? I’m not saying it shouldn’t happen, but I truly believe there are ways to PREVENT this from needing to happen if you just follow these few pointers I am going to share with you today.
A few weeks back I published a blog post entitled How to Confidently Book {IDEAL} Clients. It ended up being a hit and I was a bit surprised from the feedback that I received. It turns out that “sharing your services” rather than selling, was something that was foreign to many of the women in this space. In the business world we are constantly told to “SELL SELL SELL. Go out there and GET your customers. Close the sale. Give them the pitch” and so on. What if we just shifted our mindset to rather than “selling”, but sharing the God given gifts we have with those who need them?
I am excited to chat with you this week about a topic I feel so strongly about…….Confidently booking {ideal} clients. So we all know anyone can book clients right? But it takes a lot more planning and confidence work to book ideal ones.
Now why do we want to book ONLY ideal clients in our businesses? A few reasons:
This week I’m really feeling called to talk on a particular scripture. I came across it during my maternity-leave, at a time I was having “a morning”. It was one of those weeks where baby AB was regressing into her early infant sleep patterns and I just wasn’t sure how I was going to keep up in my business having so little time to commit.
This week I want to discuss a Mindset topic with you…….the power of SURRENDER. I think many of you know this has been a HUGE theme for me in 2017……..leaning back and surrendering at a level that feels super uncomfortable. Since day 1 of my pregnancy I knew baby Annabelle would be arriving early--something deep within told me to hold onto this and to plan accordingly. This whole story (with all the feels!) could be a book in itself, so I won’t get into that today LOL but just keep this in mind as I share!
There are A LOT of people in this online space, but not everyone is willing to pull back the curtains and have an open conversation about what it really takes to create a successful business.
Within the first year of starting my second business as an online Mindset + Confidence Coach, I hit the six-figure mark. And guess what? The reason why I was able to scale so quickly was because of the unshakeable mindset I had cultivated while growing my first business, a local psychotherapy private practice.
And now I want to share with you a deeper look into year one of my coaching business, giving my unfiltered views so you can see the reality of what it takes to create an unshakeable mindset to in turn have a thriving business. I will be sharing the good, the bad, and everything in between. I'm sharing lessons I've learned in the hopes of inspiring YOU to create the success you want in your business!
