Unless you started a sales agency, chances are, when you became an entrepreneur you didn’t think of yourself as getting into “sales”. The truth is, though, your #1 role as an entrepreneur is to SELL! Whatever your product or service, selling it is an integral part of your business. In order to bring in money, you have to sell.
Why, though, is it SO difficult, to ask people for money?
Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, your income seems to be stuck at a certain level? And if, on the rare occasion you do break through and make a little more, then next month your income comes right back down again?
If that sounds like something you’re experiencing, you’re certainly not alone.
In 2018 I made one of my biggest dreams come true and that was moving onto an acreage that I could bring my horses here to live with me. For a long time I thought this dream was way bigger than me, and I had NO idea how I was going to make it happen.
And even one short year ago today, this dream still seemed so far off…..I was still talking about it without a clue as to how and when it would manifest. It just seemed so impossible.
The choice of whether to be “safe” or to go after opportunity and what we truly desire is one that we must make throughout our lives.
And if we’re choosing to go for what we want, we are leaving safety behind, accepting risk and going against what most people think is practical.
When I look back on my journey to what got me here…..it’s always the risk that propelled me forward, and safety that held me back.
Is there something you want to be, do, or have and making it happen, bringing it into your life requires action that feels a bit risky or scary because the outcome isn’t assured?
I’ve been there on just about every single one of these examples and more.
It’s so so so scary.
But you don’t feel ready for what it takes to get “the thing”.
I’ve really been debating whether or not to share this, as it’s emotional and to be honest terrifying for me to peel the curtain back THIS much.
I’m an avid lover of natural horsemanship.
And I also believe that horses are amazing mirrors for us as individuals and my horse Chip has been one of my best coaches and guides in my life.
Some of the programs I offer do include Equine Guided Coaching. And you may be wondering, how horses help? Well, In these programs – The horses act as catalysts, guides and most importantly, mirrors to help you to uncover what you already know, but just may not be aware of.
Yes, horses can help you build your business and design your life. And today, I’m sharing with you 4 ways they do this.
Could you use more positive energy in your life? My interview with Sandra Rechsteiner just bubbles over with her enthusiasm for life and her drive to succeed.
Sandra inspires everyone wether in person or through a screen with her infectious positivity. For 17 years she had a successful career as a top authority in talent management before she made a huge leap to entrepreneurship and committed all her energy to making every day count.
Can you imagine losing your home and all your belongings in a fire, and then 10 days later the company you work for closed its doors and you lost your job?
That’s exactly what happened to my guest Francesca Anastasi. And not to mention she also had a young daughter. And despite an active and intense job search, it was right after 9/11 and no one was hiring.
As entrepreneurs it’s natural from time to time to feel like we’re just so far in over our heads with “to-do’s” that we don’t know how we’re going to get it all done. And unfortunately, that thinking just makes it worse because it shuts down the ability to problem solve and think creatively.
