Business is not a race, it is a becoming.
That means it is a journey of growing, where you step into a more powerful version of yourself tomorrow than you are today.
YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER THIS PROCESS.
That’s the good news. It is also the bad news.
When I got started in consulting, I wanted to make a lot of money. I had no trouble asking for it, I just had trouble keeping it.
There was something about the way I was BEING that kept me from realizing my full potential.
I didn’t know it was me who was the problem back then, I thought it was my “stupid” clients.
That’s actually what I thought. I attached the word “stupid” to the very people who were feeding my children. This is not only short-sighted, it is dumb.
Because guess who the guy was that I had in charge of selecting those “stupid” clients? Guess the name of the dude tasked with bringing those “stupid” people in the front door?
I was the problem. That part is obvious. What isn’t so obvious is exactly what part of what I was doing was responsible.
As it turns out, while my marketing was powerful, my spine was not. So I could bring the clients in, but then became a doormat as time went on.
My marketing systems were not aligned with my responsibility to lead. My outside said one thing, my inside said another.
This happens a lot in business. You have all (or most) of the pieces, they just aren’t working together as they should. What you get is far less result than you could be getting.
If you push through this, it just gets worse. So pushing isn’t the way forward.
SEEING is the way forward. That’s when you look at the entire system, spot the areas that are interfering with forward progress and do something about them.
It doesn’t need to take long to get this right. It’s not about working harder, it’s about seeing reality and making the required adjustments.
