5 Lessons To Getting Big Results In Business

MASTERY

Mastery is the result of your persistence. When you persist in something long enough you’ll eventually master it!

Let’s talk about my lessons around Mastery from 2021 that may be insightful for you!

Lesson 1: Persist until it exists.

If you’re going to excel in business you must be able to flex your muscle of persistence time and time again. When you get a NO, persist. When no one’s watching, persist. When your open rates are tragic, persist. When cash is slow, persist. When you want to wave the white flag, say it with me now… persist.

If there’s anything I attribute my success to over last year, was my ability to be relentlessly persistent in pursuit of my goals. Literally. Beyond my change in strategy in November I’ve been persistent since I started my business. This is my retirement plan, now it may not be yours and that’s fine, but it’s mine and I’ll be damned if it doesn’t work.   

Lesson 2: Become a student of your philosophies.

This is another one where our human brain tries to get in the way.

Let’s roll out an example; MOST of you with varying levels, agree your mindset plays a huge role in your ability to create, maintain and grow successfully in your business.

And if you don’t either a) you have a rock-solid mindset or b) you’re trying a million strategies, investing into everything under the sun, and yelling into the abyss “IT’S NOT WORKING” but I digress.

Anyway, for the ones who MOSTLY agree, be honest, how persistent are you with carrying out your daily mindset practice? (Be honest) Now how many of you in some regard told one of your clients that they should work on their mindset, read a book on abundance, or listen to a motivational podcast or YouTube this month?

Right.
Point made.

We’re SO quick to give advice and slow to implement the advice we’re given sometimes.

The truth is, you need to be bought into what you believe to be true and BECOME a student of it. 

The way this lesson developed for me is I allowed my freak flag to fly more last year, HAHAHA let me explain!!!!!!

The online coaching space was NOT the catalyst that dove me into personal development. It also was not contributory to my initial introduction into the world of enlightenment, finding your purpose, astrology, spirituality, or anything else related to the metaphysical.

I didn’t discover this coaching industry until 2 years after I dove into all of those devices.

So, most of what I know in those areas while yes, have been developed over this last year, were not the result of me entering the coaching industry. Honestly, me being a coach is the byproduct of the work I’ve been doing for Y E A R S.

I let that flag fly last year. I stopped being nervous to share about things and philosophies that interest me out of fear people would think of me differently.

If 2020 & 2021 taught me anything personally, it’s that other people’s opinions of me don’t matter as much as WHAT I THINK OF ME.

Your opinion of me is second best. What I think of me matters most because how I see myself, will be reflected out into the world. Period. 

Lesson 3: Consistent action = consistent income.

Now, looking at this from a STRATEGY perspective, how many of you asked for the sale today?

• How many of you asked for the sale of ONE offer today?
• How many of you were specific with the call to action?
• How many of you told the readers WHY they should care?
• How many of you gave exact next steps for someone to inquire?
• How many of you helped the buyer become problem aware?
• How many of you indicated there’s potential for a solution to the problem?
• How many of you read this whole thing?

Your inability to be consistent in your efforts will eat away at your potential to see results. It’s honestly not that complicated.

When you take a look around at those you admire and look up to, what’s something they have in common? Consistency.

Now, this isn’t so much a lesson I learned but one where I wish I would have learned sooner when it comes to holding MORE.

What usually happens is you go into a “push” season and you have a huge cash injection and then you say, “I’m tired” and take a month or two off of any type of promotional content and then your bank account is at zero again and you’re trying to gear up for a 2-week launch to a cold audience who forgot you exist.

Sound familiar? Look, this is where having a plan for consistency comes in handy! When you KNOW what’s coming down the pipeline it’s easy to prep and execute than to try to rely on your inspiration to cultivate it at the moment. Stop hoping for consistent cash flow and not creating a way to make it happen.

Lesson 4: Non-attachment to the outcomes will amplify your results. 

This applies to both Mindset and Method.

If you worry if your mindset practice is working, what are you doing? Thinking of all the ways it’s not working.

When you worry about whether or not your strategy is working, what are you doing? Thinking of all the ways it’s not working.

Look, isn’t it exhausting looking for ways to disprove your efforts are working? Truly. You must be exhausted constantly making yourself wrong.

You can worry about whether something is working or not OR you can hold the belief that it’s ALWAYS working, execute on the things you have control over, and expect the best!

When you release attachment to the outcome you welcome unlimited possibilities and opportunities. Truth be told, the less I try to hold onto the how and micromanage the result the more it comes to me in fun ways. Here’s an invitation, get playful with how your results come to you. Pick your income goal for the quarter, maybe it’s $25,000 in sales or something. Fun. Now I’d like you to write out at least 80 ways that could happen.

Lesson 5:  You can’t be in the service-based business and not give time and energy to your most valuable asset. You.

You are your most valuable asset.

I cannot emphasize that enough. If you’re anything like me, I get your high-performing nature, your people-pleasing tendencies, and your desire to outperform your best over and over again. But if you’re here to build a business that can sustain the test of time, then you need to take care of yourself.

That’s it. That’s the lesson.
I don’t need to be a self-care coach to tell you to take care of yourself.

So here’s the tip: Enjoy your journey, find pleasure in the process and for the love of all, take care of the most important asset in your business, you.
