But if you’re new here, you may want to read this entire post first because it will reveal whether joining will be the smartest move you’ve made in 2020… or the most frustrating. So, I lost a Charter Women Who WOW member not long ago. “Charter” member means a couple of things:
1) She’s been with me a LONG time,
and
2) for ALL of the benefits you get with Women Who WOW,
her rate — including 1:1 access to me — is the lowest ever offered: $37 / month.
Obviously, losing ANY Women Who WOW member is — frankly — a noteworthy event. If the member is invited back, (as we don’t do recurring billing) our retention rate is in the 70% range. But to have a CHARTER member not renew…. is a very rare occasion indeed.
ESPECIALLY if said member actually engaged with membership, which she did.
BUT…
But… this one bought into a franchise-ish program that had its own coaches. She was doing her best to follow their system but was NOT doing some of the work she was “supposed” to do. She felt her results would be better if she could JUST stay on top of their system. So, she wanted to have 1:1 conversations with me about low-level stuff like… ACCOUNTABILITY.
External accountability.
Now, let’s be honest. When we were kids, we called this level of accountability a “babysitter,” not a coach. You know, someone to be sure you ate dinner, brushed your teeth and went to bed on time.
But that’s not her REAL issue,
It’s not what she REALLY needed,
And it’s not the level of coaching I do.
Because when you’re following/blazing your own path you don’t need accountability. The path ITSELF is invigorating, curiosity inducing, fire lighting…. in and of itself.
Anyway, she made some excuses when it was time to re-up her membership. Then said the budget was tight, some murmured talk about “timing,” and finally disappeared except for the free stuff. She may be reading this now. I hope so… because I have a HUGE point that will impact ALL of us, but first… a commercial break.

But here’s the deal…
the moral of the story:
She was trying desperately to make THEIR system
— the one she bought —
work for HER,
her team,
in her (our) very unique part of the world.
FIGHTING mightily to cross all the t’s,
dot every “i”…
When it didn’t work, she reasoned that it was her,
that she wasn’t doing enough…
that she could work harder, get more disciplined,
find some “accountability.”
But — deep down — SHE knows,
what YOU also know:
The story you tell someone one day…
when you look back on what it took
to get you from where you are NOW
to where you will be ONE DAY….
will never be a story of you FINALLY finding and following the right system, the right funnel, the right step-by-step dance.
Your story of ultimate success will NEVER be that you hired someone to bitch at you when you didn’t check off your list and then FINALLY — through the magic of being held accountable to that which you RESIST doing — you built the business of your dreams.
That will never be the story you tell when you look back from the future you now desire and aspire to create.
And you know something else:
You wouldn’t want this to be your story…
You WANT outrageous success on your own terms.
You DESERVE to honor yourself as part of your success equation. You’re OF COURSE willing to do the work, but you want to do it YOUR way. You want the DNA of YOUR success to be left by your own fingerprints.
And THIS is what Women Who WOW provides…
NOT a stepfordpreneur march,
to which you must ascribe and follow,
but the principles and discipline that allow you to create success ENTIRELY on your own terms.
It’s like the hike I went on this morning.
The woods were WET.
I was going WAY off course,
avoiding puddles that were as big as a football field,
and going WAY off of the trail.
But my eyes are TRAINED to see the gaps.
I see what SHOULD be there but isn’t.
I see what looks a little too perfect,
I see what is just below the surface.
This is how I find my way back to the trail.
The same concept is at play in business.
I don’t carry pre-blazed trails and sell them to members. There are too many other groups doing that.
I help my members learn to SEE the trail they are UNIQUELY qualified to blaze. I teach them how to trust their OWN navigation system, to rely on their own sense of divine direction.
So, how about you?
Have you been considering joining WOW?
Now’s the time.
