Today, I'm going to cut through some myths out there about social media - The perfect time to post; is Facebook Live bad, and more! Know what you sell, know your tribe and get busy on Social Media.

Most of us have it - The “I’m not good enough” syndrome. And it stops us from living our true, fabulous and authentic life. Here's Why Your B Game Today is Better Than Your A Game Tomorrow…

Tomorrow never comes. We wait for everything to be perfect, and it just never will be. I’ve been doing a lot of Facebook Live lately, and I’ve let go of my desire for perfection with it. I no longer have to have the perfect makeup, hairstyle, clothing, earrings and so on.

In fact, I’ve been going live right after my hot, sweaty 4 mile desert walk. No makeup, baseball cap, and no fear!

I am a morning person and I get my set inspiration while on my walk. I plan much about my marketing strategy then. That’s what the note section of my phone is for


What You’ll Learn from this Episode:


What we struggle with

What we’re putting off

Why we hesitate

The excuses we make


Why Your B Game Today is Better Than Your A Game Tomorrow


Think about all of the things you are putting off in your life and business. And why? For what?  Who are you afraid of seeing you step up into your greatness?

Diet, Exercise, Our Business, Dating, Writing that book - we delay it because we have something that has to be done before we actually DO it.

Stop it. We’re friends. To some extent. If I ran into you on the street, I would just be myself. No makeup, and in my workout clothes, right.

And, yes we all know there are Haters and Shamers out there, but we must move past them. You are better than that, and you deserve more.

So, what’s your gift that the world and your tribe is ready for? What are you putting off? Who are you comparing yourself to and competing with?

Who are you hesitant to have see your content on Facebook? Its usually 1-3 people, so who was it for you?

You are never going to get it right; you’re never gonna get it done; you’re never gonna get it perfect.

What amazing thing are you going to go do?


Do you have a plan put together? Are you happy with your plan? Would you like to learn more about an effective plan? Would you like to schedule a time to discuss it?

Okay, back to F word Friday.

 

Today, let’s look at that bad boy called - Failure. And, take it head on.

 

I want to share a story of my failure, and what happened to me as a result of it.

 

My Makeup Biz - everyone had huge expectations. After all, I had accomplished a LOT in the past, so surely I would with this too.

 

Ever try to fit a square peg in a round hole? That was me.

 

I was mad about something in my business, and I made a quick, rash decision.

 

I kept trying to convince myself that I could overcome my own values, and desires in a business.

 

And, one might look at that experience and say I “failed.”

 

But, not me. While I did not create the business or the income I thought I wanted from it, I did get in touch with and become reminded of who I really am, and what I am most passionate about.

 

I Love social media. I love teaching success language and how to really connect with people and build a center of influence.

 

I love being a coach and helping turn the light bulb on for others.

 

And I can not stand a bunch of products coming into my home every month, Doesn’t make that biz model bad, it just means it is not right for me and I know it!

 

I am a transformation coach; assisting others to transform from what they were; or think they were; to what they are capable of.

 

think of a time when you failed, and I mean really failed. What did you fail at. Put a name to it. What was it? and, what happened as a result of that?

 

How bad was it really? How have you recovered? The fact that you are hear listening tells me you probably recovered.

 

What did you learn from that experience? How have you grown? How are you better? Did you REALLY fail or did you have a growing experience?

 

Does the past equal the future?

 

What are you holding back from doing due to fear of failure? How is that stopping you from what you really want? If you DID “fail” what would be the worst that would happen?

 

What if you didn’t fail? What if you actually succeeded? What if the universe is lining up to give you what you most focus on? How might you shift your fear from that of failure to the expectancy of success?

 

How might you reframe the way you go into the experience as one of expectancy for success and a great learning, growing, expanding experience?

 

 

 

The most powerful thing I ever did for my business when I was struggling to get from zero to hero as to hire a coach. Someone who has been where I was, and has gone to where I want to go.

 

I would love to explore a coaching partnership with you, if you are struggling. Let’s schedule a 20 minute discovery call to see if we might be a fit.

 

I love taking those with goals like mine from struggle to six figures, easily, and with joy in building something they love and that resonates with who they are and their values.

I just returned from a LONG road trip, moving my daughter and her boyfriend, along with Hendrix, the German Shepherd/Shar Pei dog to Nashville.

Along the way, I had plenty of time for thinking, since it was about 27 hours in a car, alone, with wide open skies and podcasts to grow through!

As I always like to reflect on how life and business are so parallel, I had some interesting insights along the way.

Here are some things you’ll hear in the podcast -

I’m a Type A, Action personality. That can be a good and bad thing with others.

Ho do our clients, prospects and potential clients view us, when we act from our own personality type?

How does our past shape us? And does it need to?

Traveling has its frustrations - flies, dirty bathrooms, rude drivers, and yet these are bugs on a windshield and don’t need to derail us.

Are you creating experiences in your life, for yourself and those who you encounter?

As I have coached and worked with others, and helped to create some fabulous results and success for those who were willing to do the work!

 

When I read Robert Kiyosaki’s book - Rich Dad, Poor Dad, it really expanded my business vision of what could be possible for me.

 

Especially after I took my business online in 1999. Wow! The internet could take me to places I have never thought of before.

 

I wanted more than just a network marketing business and income. I just know that through Network Marketing, I have developed some very solid skill sets that I can use to assist others in getting what they want. And, more!

Go to StreetSmartWealth.com/academy and let’s see if we might be a fit to grow the business of your dreams working together.

 

 

 

What are the big dreams you have set for your business and your life? Have you thought about how much money it will take for you to live the life of your dreams?

 

And, does the thought of all that might go into creating that ever wreck your self confidence and belief in making it actually happen?

 

We can look out in the distance and see that big end goal out there, all bright and shiny. But, we look at the space between where we are and where we want to go and it can be very daunting.

 

When I first started my business, I was taught to set goals - income goals mostly. And, the ones I saw other people setting were big money goals.

 

I set a big goal too, but quickly realized I had a problem.

 

I had not ever come close to earning that much in my life, and so I could say one thing, but my belief around it was another thing.

 

I clearly had a money belief problem, and you might too.

 

What kept me in the game was creating smaller goals, that felt achievable to me, and putting my focus there.

 

We tend to lose sight of the fact that what creates success with the small goals is also most often what creates success with the bigger goals.

 

so, let’s talk a bout creating some small, possibility goals and commit full out to those so we then reach our bigger end all be all do all goals!

 

Pop in those ear buds, let’s get cracking.

 

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

 

 

Getting Your Money Back in 30 Days

 

It’s all easier after the first $10k

 

How big goals hurt your self confidence

 

Consistent Steps create big results

 

 

The first thing I’m going to ask you for is a commitment. It’s what I do with my coaching and mastermind clients, and that is what creates results. It’s not wishing or hoping. It’s commitment and action.

 

Last week, I talked about Repetition being the key to mastery. Consistency is the key to repetition. They are kind of the same and you probably see a common thread.

 

The most common income goal set by my clients is a Six Figure Income, or $100,000.

 

Does that amount seem daunting to you? It can if you aren’t close to making that now. That was my problem.

 

What about breaking that down to $8,400 a month? Seem a little more reasonable?

 

And, what if we break that down to weekly? Which comes out to about $2100. Even more do-able, right?

 

So, If you can make $2k, then you can make $4k. And, if you can make $4k, then $8k seems possible, right?

 

And, for so many people, the first $10k is the HARDEST. The next $10k comes so much easier and more quickly.

 

I struggled to make my first $10k in my business. And, from there, it became much more fun and with joy!

 

Pretty soon, it grew so quickly that, at times, I felt like it was monopoly money. And, that is FUN money! Especially when it’s made by doing something I love and adding value in the lives of others. Watching the light bulb come on for my clients is the BEST ever!

 

The Gap between where you are and where you want to be can be a deal breaker. So let’s set a goal to get your to your first $2k, if you haven’t reached that. Or, whatever goal it is that fits for you. And, a deadline.

 

The deadline is important because if you have TOO long, there is a tendency is to procrastinate. Put it off for tomorrow. Does this describe you?

 

Now, looking at that goal - do you know the steps you’ll be taking to get you there?  Are you clear on that? And, are you ready to create that consistency chain to make it happen? Make those small steps.

 

And, what will that $2,000 or more do for you in your life? What would it do if it were a weekly amount? Do you realize that’s $104,000 a year and makes you a 6 figure income earner.

 

Once you figure out how to make $2,000 ONCE, you can figure out how to do it monthly. And, then weekly. And, then what about DAILY? Would that be fun?

 

Now, think about this - imagine making $2000 in your business one time. Seems possible, right?

 

And, if you shift that focus to $2,000 a day - how possible does that feel? Does that rattle your self confidence and belief at all?

 

It might and that’s okay. It’s not a right or wrong, it just is. And, we are going to work together with where you are RIGHT now. Open your mind a little and let me coax and coach you to expanding that vision and belief.

 

You are building your business in small, increments. Inches, dollars, or what ever you want to think it is.

 

Each connection you make with your audience - your ideal client - is an inch closer to where you want to be. What’s your goal with them? To make a sale; sign a client; sponsor a team member?

 

What do each of those inches look like for you? Go back to those steps that you’ll need to take to get where you want to go.

 

What steps are part of your consistency chain? How many inches will move your business closer to your goal?

 

Every small goal, every inch you accomplish; every connection and piece of value you contribute - all of these creates those massive bigger results.

 

You can make excuses - we all have. And, you can make money - which means letting go of those excuses.

 

Remember - when we focus too big, and too scary, we psyche ourselves out of possibility. Zero to Hero, or nothing to $100K is scary. And daunting. And soul sucking.

 

Focus on small, tangible, accomplishable and watch what happens.

 

Instead of saying - I know I should be doing more - say - I know EXACTLY what I need to do each day to hit that small target goal and then I move it up from there.

 

Focus on that one person, that one connection and not the MASSES like Social Media teaches you.

 

I know, strange coming from someone who teaches SocialMediaBackstagePAss.com, right? And, there is huge value in social media.

 

And, it’s quality and connection always, and not quantity.

 

And, let go of too much concern on the tech. Huge businesses are still grown one person at a time.

 

Facebook live, and ads, and stories and all that go into that do serve a time and a place. And, those are secondary to knowing how to set those small goals; developing the actions plan to get your there; putting your own consistency chain into motion and just being fully present to connect and add value to each person, one at a time.

 

Do you have that put together? Are you happy with your plan? Would you like to learn more about an effective plan? Would you like to schedule a time to discuss it?
