Today, I’m writing to you from our (thankfully not frozen) RV, watching a TON of snow fall out of our window
It’s like a winter wonderland out here! So needless to say, I’ll be bundled up inside heads down in work + hot chocolate today 🙂
But the snow isn’t the struggle I wanted to talk to you about today…
It’s a little more personal than that.
You see, for YEARS we struggled with comparison. We’d look at other entrepreneurs online, thinking we’d never be like X, Y, or Z.
We watched as they hit six-figure income goals, letting our self-limiting beliefs tell us we’d never be able to reach those ourselves.
We watched as they launched high-ticket programs, telling ourselves we weren’t ready, or didn’t have enough experience yet.
We watched as they SHOWED up – as they ran forward with their big dreams and goals, while we held ourselves back.
Sound familiar?
Truthfully, we’re hoping we’re not the only ones here… because while it’s a little embarrassing to admit this all, it doesn’t scare us anymore. It EMPOWERS us.
We realized that we can either let other people’s success deter us or encourage us.
Let’s take the past 24 hours as an example…
We saw a post in a Facebook group asking for recommendations on Facebook Ads coaches/experts – and if we’re being perfectly honest, we were a little disappointed in what was shared (Truth time here.)
The two most popular recommendations weren’t great options in our minds. One doesn’t have a Pixel on her page (a big no no in our industry) – and yet has thousands of people in her course. The other is super new to the Facebook world but already has a course to teach others. And yet, they’re trusted and seen as experts.
Why?
Because they took action and they put themselves out there to serve others’ needs.
And for a long time, we didn’t.
So how can we be upset? It’s our own fault that we don’t have courses or offerings that others can easily recommend in a group. And it’s to the other entrepreneurs’ credit that they DID start growing, even with less experience.
But thankfully our disappointment was quickly replaced with a smile knowing that we DID take action this year – just with a different priority. We focused more on 1:1 services and launched our first live group training (and we maaaaay have some incredible products coming out in the next few months!). Had we not learned the hard way of what happens when you’re reactive instead of proactive in your business, we probably would have been WAY more bummed about that FB post.
So why are we sharing this with you today?
Because for far too long, we sat in the first camp of letting others’ successes deter us.
And guys, if you’re hanging out in that place too, we want to challenge you to make a change. Holding ourselves in comparison to (quite literally) strangers on the internet is NOT a way to grow a purposeful or profitable business.
Which is why, slowly by surely, we made our way over to the second camp – finding inspiration, encouragement, and empowerment from other’s success.
By letting go of our self-limiting beliefs and actually TAKING ACTION on how we want to serve our clients and grow our business, we’ve been able to hit those goals we used to think were just far-fetched dreams….
Now, we:
- Run our own six-figure marketing agency
- Have sold out our own high-ticket coaching program
- Started showing up CONSISTENTLY and taking action every day
And we want the same for you .
We want you to set goals that matter to YOU – and actually put them into action.
We want you to become the go-to person in your industry – because you built your business with AUTHENTICITY and TRUST.
We want you to launch that BIG ole’ dream of yours – and have MORE time for what really matters in your life.
And we’d love to link arms and walk out this crazy entrepreneurial journey with you.
So would you do us a favor ?
If you can’t tell, we like to keep things real + personal around here 🙂
So while we spill our hearts on this side of the screen, we’d love to support and love on YOU more.
Here’s to growing purposeful and profitable businesses.
