The REAL Truth About Business: Business Strategy for Service Based Entrepreneurs

We all know that when it comes to network and relationship marketing, things take time.  It takes time to meet someone and then nurture and grow a relationship of trust with them. However, the true beauty behind network and relationship marketing is that you may not even end up doing business with the person you meet.  You may end up as someone that they refer out to their inner circle. That's the beauty and the benefit of networking properly.

Listen to learn more about what I call boots on the ground marketing and why it’s a crucial component of your business.

If you have explored the option of working with a business coach, then you have probably found yourself wondering if that coach can actually deliver results in your business.  As a business coach, one of the questions I get asked most often when talking with new people is, “What results do you provide for your client?”  My answer is always that results are dependent on the client.

Of course you want to see results in your business if you are paying for someone to come in and help you grow. But here's what I want you to understand.  Results are directly related to taking personal responsibility for your actions in your business.

Listen to learn more about what it means to take personal responsibility for the actions that will define your results.

Have you ever launched a new product/service/course only for it to not go the way you envisioned it so you just threw in the towel immediately because you thought no one wanted what you were offering???  If you are guilty of this, I can guarantee you that you are probably guilty of giving up too soon.  I know how hard it is to feel like you put your all into something and then feel like it’s falling flat. But, if you didn’t truly give it enough time for people to see it, then you probably gave up on this amazing thing way too soon.

Today's episode goes out to all the people that absolutely hate being in launch mode. If you follow any of the big names in entrepreneurship, then you know they typically launch something once a year.  It's a big launch with a long process. It can sometimes be overwhelming.

If being in launch mode exhausts you, I have great news for you -STOP DOING IT! Live launching is not the ONLY way to sell a product or service and create hype around it.

So if you’re like me (and many of my clients) and hate being in launch mode, in this episode I am giving you permission to STOP doing it.

I share different ways you can get around this to take that stress and pressure off yourself.   Get back to selling and sharing in a way that you love and that makes you feel excited and exhilarated...not exhausted.

Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and you’re trying to remember the name of something, but it just won’t come to you?  You just cannot think of it to save your life. We've all been there, right?  We’ve said, “Oh my gosh, why can I not think of that person's name?”

So the conversation ends, you move about your business, and you detach from it. You start to carry on a different conversation or do something else.  Then all of a sudden that name you couldn’t think of pops into your head. This is the Law of Detachment from Deepack Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success in action.

In my opinion, this is probably one of the biggest laws of success when it comes to your business because it is the hardest one to do. It's hard not to get wrapped up in every single action we take or to expect an immediate outcome.  And this is why detaching from the outcome is crucial to your success.

Here’s how this applies in business: Let’s say you have a great prospecting call, somebody tells you they're interested, and you send a proposal or a contract..and then crickets. You're immediately consumed to the outcome of this call.  What happens though is the more you attach to the outcome, the more pressure you put on yourself and that other person which in turns creates a negative energy around it.  So much so that there's no room for it to actually move forward.

Detaching yourself from any outcome truly does take practice.  Put yourself out there with no expectation of what it will turn into.  Stop asking yourself questions related to possible outcomes of the situation.  Go into it with no expectation, completely detached from the outcome of it, and just let it flow and keep moving forward.

Trust that things will work themselves out in due time. It is a game changer for your business. It’s not always the easiest but I can promise you, the more you do it, the more you're going to start seeing things change.  Things are just going to start flowing to you in ways you’ve never seen before.

We all want to be where things are just flowing to us in natural time.  That’s the goal, right?
