it’s also the least popular thing I teach.
and preach.
And getting even MORE unpopular.
I wrote a rant-y post on my personal page about this person who was touting an 8-figure business…. who is CLEARLY either lying or delusional or both. I’ll post it in the comments below just for some context.
But the thing is, most people land within the walls of WOW because they want more money — in a way that comes to them consistently, so they can depend on it — and without feeling like they’ve had to sell their soul in order to make it.
But also… they TRULY want to have an impact in the lives or businesses of others. They want to be seen as an INFLUENCER in their space. They are sick of feeling financially strapped… having to consider every purchase. They want to be FREE… but not just free to spend. They want to be free to unleash their message, free to impact others, free to LEAD.
But if they HAD to choose,
and many think (erroneously) that they do,
they need the money thing fixed.
Well, good news: Income, impact & influence are INTRICATELY and PERMANENTLY linked. Better news: you don’t have to choose between the three.
Frankly, you CAN’T choose one of the three.
There is NO way to truly make an impact and have an influence in your market without increasing your income.
Some will argue otherwise,
but look carefully and you’ll see
they’re greatly exaggerating their own influence and impact. 😉
So, what IS the key to more of all three: income, impact and influence?
BE RESPONSIBLE TO THE WORK ITSELF.
Here’s the thing.
RADICAL personal responsibility is required for success.
This is a very unpopular opinion right now, when the “people in charge” want to literally convince humans that they are SOMEHOW responsible for the health, wealth and happiness of others, and — in fact — could be held personally CULPABLE for someone else’s illness, poverty or sadness. (For the youngins reading this a decade from now, this used to be called co-dependence, and was actually looked at as a mental illness that required therapy.)
But ALL successful people live by a creed of personal responsibility. It’s why i will never judge you for your numbers, but I hold you RESPONSIBLE for your success, your effort and your own hustle.
So, let’s look at what RESPONSIBILITY towards the work actually requires of you.
What if you committed to the WORK,
the HEART of the work,
sharing your message with the world,
unashamed,
unrivaled in your passion for your people…
un-distracted by the rules
un-homogenized by popular opinion…
and you kept this up day in and day out
REGARDLESS of any other factor?
What would happen?
Do you think THIS LEVEL of commitment would be
or could be
IGNORED by a market? 😊
Do you think this level of PASSION would fall on deaf ears?
Of course not.
But here’s what gets in the way.
We start allowing the rules,
the strategy,
the fear of judgement,
the thought of being deemed unprofessional,
the “join the dots” guidance by other “experts”
to start to take OUR attention.
We start to fall away from the HeART of our work, to focus on things like whether or not we need to re-word that bold post… or whether we should post it on a page, in a group, or on our blog.
We start considering OTHER stuff..
besides the heart of our message,
besides the IMPACT we want to make.
We start to concern ourselves with how long the message should be and if we could or should put it into a different format.
Details, BUSINESS details
that DO matter,
but ALWAYS matter LESS
than you taking your own stage,
and being rADICALLY responsible to the work itself.
PLEASE LOOK AROUND YOU.
The people who are paid the MOST in EVERY industry
are paid for who they ARE,
for how they show up…
AND NOT for how polished they are, how official their landing pages look, how fancy their video set up is.
Side note: I got asked about MY “fancy landing pages” yesterday, which blew me away. lol… I have some of these pages NOW, but I just as often use a simple blog post or sales letter to increase my own impact, influence and income.
Same as I ALWAYS have.
From day ONE in business.
So, let me expose the heart of MY work,
that which I am RUTHLESSLY committed to:
To lead women entrepreneurs to be FULLY empowered and FULLY expressed.
The INCOME of our members goes way up after joining. And financial success IS part of personal empowerment. BUT sales / income doesn’t go up simply because our members change the way they market. It’s because our members change HOW they show up to market.
We quickly infiltrate HOW, HOW OFTEN, with WHAT ENERGY, with what LEVEL of authority women show up on the world stage.
And
this
changes
everything.
For one woman at a time.
So, I make no excuses.
I accept no excuses.
I show up…
FULLY responsible to the work I am called to do.
And then, AFTER that little bit is done every single day…
ONLY THEN I do the “business” things,
like selling, sharing, inviting, etc…
which are ALWAYS natural extensions
of the REAL work.
Are you READY to break small in your business? Are you READY to break THROUGH in your business? Are you ready to increase ALL of it? Your income, impact AND influence?
Message me about joining Women Who WOW, the online alliance of the seriously driven woman entrepreneur. We’ve got members in every state and a handful of countries, but we definitely have room for you!
