Episode 116: Hot take: You May Not Need That Course (4 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming an Entrepreneur)
You may not need that course. Or program. Or mastermind.
You might need it - if it solves a very specific problem you have or gives you a very specific solution to something you’re looking.
Sometimes though - and what I explore in the last podcast episode in my series 4 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming an Entrepreneur - is the very real fact that you may invest more money than necessary into convincing yourself that you’re good at what you do.
You may think - but what, don’t I need certifications, don’t I have to learn certain things? Yes, absolutely. In fact, I did an episode on how to know exactly when to invest in a program.
What can happen all to often is that we convince ourselves that we’ll be good enough to launch our services or announce a new offer or change directions AFTER we get that certification,or go through that program.
What this really is is searching for outside validation that you’re good enough.
You are ALREADY good enough. You just don’t believe it - yet.
I experienced this recently when I was in Chicago getting certified as an NLP Practitioner. I knew I wanted to sign up for this training - it solved a specific problem (getting certified). And yet, it was almost as if, I had a belief that getting this certification would open the heavens for me and clients would just fall out of the sky.
That if I was “CERTIFIED” it would give me the professionalism, the validation, and the credentials to … do what I’m not even really sure.
It was a very deep subconscious belief that I didn’t even realize I had.
My certification doesn’t make me more worthy of running my programs. Does it give me extra skills and more resources to share with my clients - yes! But did I *have* to have it for my clients to see success? Nope. As evidenced by the clients I’ve worked with in the past YEAR!
Clients who have gone on to quit their full time jobs, double their prices, hire a full time team member, grow in their confidence and ability to show up on camera.
I share this with you because I want you to know you’ve got it inside of you. Sometimes yes, you’ll need the program. And sometimes you won’t because you’ll realize you already know it.
