Me? Aggressive? Maybe…

This past week, I received an email from a prospective client… another woman who helps women in business… a woman whom I have the upmost respect for…. This is part of what she said,

“I’m open to trying new ways, but not a real “aggressive” person. I feel that you are much more that way, so not sure how that would work out.”

At first I was surprised. She said she “hoped she didn’t offend me”. I was not offended in the LEAST, it was just that I’ve never really considered myself “aggressive” before. I mean Michael Vick’s dogs are “aggressive”. The MEAN AS HECK pony I had as a child was “aggressive”. Oma Rosa is aggressive. But me? Anyway, here was my response:

Aggressive? That is one I haven’t heard before! I’ll have to ponder that one! =) Hmmm…. As I am re-reading this email, I think I am “getting” the aggressive comment. =) Although I have never thought of myself as aggressive, As a coach, I am PURELY results-oriented. My mantra: NO excuses JUST results!

My clients see results and growth that would be considered very aggressive by many standards… tripling their income in 8 weeks, going from $0 to $16K in two months, replacing a full time income in three months. To do this, their actions are strategic, consistent, and, well… you said it… AGGRESSIVE! =) What do you want to create in your business? What are you willing to do to make it happen? BTW, my life verse is Hebrews 10:35. “So don’t throw away your confidence for in the end it will be richly rewarded!” I have known that is my life verse for years now… Then when I was doing some “diggin” I found out that the original word for confident in this verse meant “boldness of speech”… =)

So, am I bold when I speak? You betcha! Am I confident in what I can help my clients create? Yep. Am I AGGRESSIVE? You be the judge!! To the awesome lady who thought me aggressive: You have NOT offended me… You have inspired me. NOW, how aggressive will YOU be when it comes to making your goals become your reality? =) To YOU!!
