Have You Really Tried Everything?
Do you ever feel like you don't know what else to do to generate business?
You feel like you have run out of ideas. You've tried everything and you feel like you're banging your head against the wall and that nothing is working.
This is how I was feeling this last week. I have started a new business and, like many brokers, was trying to find ways to generate leads. I was frustrated and said to myself, “ I have tried everything-I don't know what else to do!" But then I paused and my mind and heart asked, “but did you Renee? Did you really try everything?”
I knew the answer was No. I hadn't tried everything, and if I was being honest with myself, I really didn't want to up until this point. I thought it was because I was tired or lazy, or that I didn't have enough time to put the effort in.
The real answer? I was afraid. I was afraid of being rejected yet again. My ego couldn't handle it-or so I thought.
This was a huge realisation because this was an old belief I had that I was hanging on to. My new belief is that “My self worth is not tied to the success or failure of my business”. If I truly believe that (which I do) then being rejected becomes less harsh. They are not rejecting ME they are saying no to what I am offering.
Completely different mindset isn't it?
This propelled me to take action. I started to reach out to people that expressed interest in my product or my coaching in the past-and because I showed up differently these amazing people became my clients!
I took the shame out of rejection and just focused on what I needed do to grow my business!
You can do it too. Ask yourself if you have really tried everything. Are you really open to new possibilities? Are you willing to keep trying new things until you find something that works for you?
You have something special to offer! The world needs you. So don't stay quiet and don't stay small. That's the old you.
Have an amazing week!
