It took me about 4 years
— of being in business–
to realize that I was
in fact
in business.
I thought I was just “making money from home.”
I wasn’t “in business.”
After all, I’d heard some things about business.
❌ I’d heard that it took a lot of money to start a business. But I “Invested” $50 to get my “make money from home” venture off the ground. ($32 of that went to stamps. Good old direct SNAIL mail.)
❌ I’d heard that it took a long time to make MONEY in business. I made money RIGHT AWAY. (The power of being broke, I guess.)
❌ I’d heard that business was hard and complicated. But what I was doing was INCREDIBLY simple. I had a skill, a service and I invited people to PAY me to do it for them.
❌ I’d heard that marketing was a long and expensive journey. Maybe what I was doing WASN’T marketing after all. I just:
💰 talked to people.
💰 Assessed their need.
💰 Pitched them a service-for-fee offer.
💰 Collected money.
💰 Delivered service.
(in that order.)
❌ I’d heard that you needed to network at networking meetings… But I hated networking. Like, truly. And so I never did it.
So, clearly I wasn’t in business, right?
I didn’t know or abide by any of the rules.
I didn’t do “all the things.”
Eventually, it hit me.
The reason SO MANY businesses were failing is because they’re all following the same set of made up rules. The same exhausting set of SHOULDS. The same gurus and “experts” peddling either the same tired — and ineffective — advice
OR
something BRIGHT, SHINY and NEW.
PROBLEM: Your ultimate financial success —
AND success defined OUTSIDE of financials —
depends on NEITHER the rules OR the new, bright and shiny.
YOUR success,
and mine
will hinge on your commitment to the following :
👍 Doing LESS. Within Women Who WOW, we have a ruthless commitment to knowing WHY we’re doing WHAT we’re doing, so we can MEASURE it… and quit what’s NOT working and do more of what is.
(Break that down:
- Know WHY you’re doing whatever it is you’re doing.
- MEASURE it. A strong “why” is measurable.
- If it’s not working, stop doing it. )
👍 Principled habits. Your ultimate success will be built on what you do DAILY, not what MIGHT happen ONE DAY.
👍 Simple strategies. What is simple gets done. Daily. (Notice a theme here?)
👍 Unapologetic Authenticity. If you’re not showing up as ALL of you, you are in DANGER of being commoditized… and when you’re commoditized, you’re going to be overlooked and Underpaid.
As it turned out, I WAS in business.
A GREAT business.
One that now supports my family financially,
and allows me to live EXACTLY as I desire to live.
A business that inspires ME and others.
A business that allows me to be surrounded by other women business owners who inspire ME.
