I promise this post will help you figure out EXACTLY why you couldn’t CELEBRATE your best success story as you once imagined. But first, we have to define “cheating.”
For me, cheating has a LIBERAL definition. đ Once, my husband went to a strip club. (Circa 2002. He’d never been before, nor since. I was at home, nursing our 3rd baby.) His clothes were packed when he got home.
Did he TOUCH anyone? No.
Did he get anyone’s phone number? Also no.
But it was an issue of the heart. A million women may disagree with me, and I don’t care. I simply don’t “outsource” the turning on of my own husband. What YOU do in that department is up to you.
Bottom line: We all have our OWN unique lines of loyalty, authenticity, showing up, giving it our all.
So, when you consider the plan, the coach, the funnel, the WHATEVER that “Didn’t work,” I want you to consider where you MIGHT have cheated… even ” a little bit.”
Here are some “small” ways you can cheat on a business effort / plan / launch, that FEEL like “Not a big deal” but CAN cost you success-wise:
âď¸Authenticity / Integrity
Maybe you’re using AI AS you, vs. using AI to help you;
MAYBE you’re acting happy and excited all the time, because you think that’s what others EXPECT of you?
Maybe you’re selling something you — flat out — have not mastered and / or are struggling with MIGHTILY right now…
When you cheat in ANY AREA with regards to your authenticity or integrity… your business WILL suffer. How can it not? Businesses are built on relationships, EVEN if they are “only” online.
âď¸Connection â
Maybe you’re hoping for connection, but everything you post is scheduled and robotic?
Scheduled sex is fine and dandy — and if you have young kids, it is even necessary — but if you don’t actually show up… lol… Well, it’s all for nothing.
Are you actually GETTING TO KNOW your market? Or are you only pitching them? Are you looking to connect or simply cash in? Again, people FEEL this.
Connection DOES bring the cash, but you can’t “cheat” on the connection bit. Show up. Engage. (Yes, in real time.) Talk to people. Listen.
âď¸Sales Conversations â
Here is the deal: if you are struggling with money, you are NOT having enough sales conversations. Hear me out: If you are REALLY struggling with money, STOP your focus on funnels and leverage and automation and start selling again. (Or maybe start selling for the first time.)
A bunch of instagram stories are NOT a sales conversation. Don’t cheat on this one. It’s EASY to get to your first $100K if you’re willing to talk to people and INVITE them to buy from you.
So, are you cheating on the sales process by not REALLY even ASKING them to buy???
âď¸Simple and Direct â
Maybe you hired a coach or bought a plan that is simple, direct… easy. BUT you find yourself doing MORE… đ And more is better, right? Not always. Are you cheating on the SIMPLE DIRECT ROUTE you wanted… by building in unnecessary complexity?
I can’t tell you the number of WOW members who have felt the need to “repent” for their cheating ways… LOL. And let’s be honest, had their extra-complexity WORKED and MADE MONEY vs COST THEM MONEY, I’d have never heard of it!
I’m joking about the repentance. I’m ONLY interested in monogamy from my Mister. đ But I have heard from many who made who gains financially following The WOW Way, only to see things reverse as they began to get fancy and complex.
Where might YOU be building in unnecessary delay, complexity, chaos?
âď¸Independence / Freedom:
If you REALLY value independence and freedom (These are my TOP DRIVING VALUES) then reduce dependence on ANYTHING you donât control.
These are just a few of the ways you COULD be cheating on your success plan and mucking up the results. But there are more, an infinite number of SUBTLE ways you could be robbing yourself of your own potential.
If you are RIGHT NOW struggling in any area of your business, message me and let’s talk. Let’s identify the small ways you’re costing yourself. Business success is simple. Not EASY, but simple. And it leaves clues. I can help you create the business AND life you want.
