It's free. But it'll cost you...
I’m not sure whether anyone’s told you lately, but the best investment you’ll EVER make in your business is one which you won’t be charged a penny for.
Much like everybody else, being a business owner in this current climate has thrown up a lot of questions around what to share, when to share it etc. The list is endless – and so are the emails with the same sort of subject lines in them, which flood your inbox daily.
So, I’m just gonna say it.
If you’re asking whether or not you should sell, what to sell and when etc, you’re asking the wrong questions, because pretty much zero of that will matter if you don’t have this one thing in place.
The thing?
Total belief, conviction and energy behind what you’re offering and why.
It’s honestly as easy and as complex as that.
Are there people who don’t have their customer and client’s best interests at heart as they share what they’re sharing? Absolutely. Only you will know whether that’s where you’re at, but chances are that that’s unlikely.
And so knowing that you’re doing what you’re doing and sharing what you’re sharing with a genuine heart of service means that now the real work begins – and by the way, this applies to any season, Covid 19 or not.
If YOU feel weird about selling or even simply sharing your message, I’m not personally of the school of thought which would encourage you to ‘push through’ and share anyway. Pushing through doesn’t = progress.
The truth is that if you want to go further, you have to dig deeper.
Ask yourself what feels weird/wrong/disconnected about sharing your message. If it comes from a genuine place of uneasiness, then listen to that. No amount of pushing through is going to help you there. However, it’s also worth checking whether self-preservation and the possibility of your pride being hurt is part of your reason behind not pursuing what you’re called to say.
The truth of the matter is that our ego has a lot to answer for. As much as it can cause us to puff ourselves with pride, it can cause us to shrink ourselves into insignificance from a place of false humility.
Neither serves anybody.
God didn’t give you a spirit of fear, but of POWER, love, and a sound mind.
It’s a powerful thing to come out of hiding and to draw a line in the sand on thoughts which previously led you to believe that you were less than.
You’re anything but less.
In fact, you’re MADE for more.
But me typing these words out and you reading them isn’t going to change anything unless you yourself are ready and willing to change.
You’ve got to believe it.
You’ve got to trust and believe that the resurrection power you were singing about on Easter Sunday truly dwells on the inside of you by the POWER of the Holy Spirit, and then that’s got to mean something so far as your actions are concerned.
And that’s where this whole talk on investment comes in. Because here’s the thing…
You splashing out on a high ticket package and expecting instant transformation as a result isn’t going to work out very well for you. Not if you’re not willing to do the work. Paying hundreds of pounds or thousands of dollars isn’t some magic formula.
Likewise though, you investing a few dollars or pounds a month in something doesn’t automatically mean you won’t show up… unless you choose for it to mean that.
It’s honestly as easy and as complex as choice and belief.
There are people who say they’ve built businesses by using Google. If you’ve got enough drive and motivation to discipline yourself to make it happen without being accountable to or supported by anyone but you, then I’d certainly say that’s possible too. It’ll take you longer, but if that’s not an issue for you then I say go for it.
If you want to invest thousands in working with a coach because that’s what the right move is for you and your business right now, definitely do it.
