can i be honest with you?

here's some tough love for business owners

friend, can I be honest with ya for a sec?

Your constant “search” for the ultimate truth is what’s keeping you from much of what you’re dreaming of in your business

be it the highly paid speaking gigs, more visibility on social media, or attracting premium clients in your coaching business!

Let me explain!

I was on a coaching call with a client this morning and she kept repeating this one phrase that made me give her some tough love…

I asked her if she had completed her homework from our previous sessions, she said “no because I want to get to the core of it” 

I was very intrigued by her resistance and this desire to “find the core of it” so I asked her what is she trying to find

She paused and said “I feel like this is not core of the story I want to tell and I’m not sure this is the dream client I want to speak to” which makes her keep stalling on creating content and sharing…

We had spent the last two weeks working with frameworks and exercises that helped her find who her dream client is and highlighted the parts of her story that showcase her purpose and speak to her dream client

After some back and forth, I recognized that this client is stuck in a cycle of “searching”. She loves the “searching” process and is scared of committing to one thing or the other because…

1. She fears it will be permanent 
2. She fears it will be the wrong choice 

We’ve all been there…so we freeze! 

And this is where I had to share with her a moment of truth, I said:

“you paid a lot of money to be in this program, you can either continue to search and going back and forth wasting your time each week debating if you found the core truth of your story and dream client OR you can use this time in the program to receive feedback on your work by approaching it from a trial and error perspective. If you go with option 1, you’re just wasting your time and money because unless you start taking action there’s nothing for us to workshop and give feedback on” 

I made it clear that her brand and message will evolve as she learns more about what she likes sharing and what her audience responds to. 

Often times I see people searching for the ultimate truth about their brand and until they find it, they stay in freeze mode, unable to take action.

There’s no ultimate truth or clarity.

You are always testing things out. 

Always evolving.
