Get it Done U

Shine a Light on Your Fear So You Can Move Forward

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:02:29 GMT

I love figuring out the steps for getting things done. But sometimes I find it’s even more fascinating figuring out why we don’t get things done.

What is it that gets in your way?

Sometimes, it’s not having the money. Sometimes it’s not knowing what to do. But behind all of those “reasons” is usually an internal fear that’s keeping you from stepping forward into the roles you are meant to fill. You want to accomplish something but there’s something that holds you back from doing it.

Give Yourself Permission to Get It Done One Step at a Time

A few weeks ago I made the spring decision that I would start running again, after a 15-year break. In my usual type-A fashion I ran 30 minutes on day one. Definitely not the best idea. I suffered with pains in places I didn’t know I could feel pain, and it was clear I took on too much, too fast.

It got me thinking of what I see so many of my clients experiencing.

Would you like to know one of the best ways to grow as an entrepreneur? It comes by requesting feedback.

So often it’s easy for creative entrepreneurs to get distracted by what others are doing—you think I want that too! Now this isn’t necessarily a bad thing for entrepreneurs unless you start spinning in too many different directions at once… and end up going nowhere.

The Cure for Inertia is Action

Tue, 26 Feb 2013 20:48:57 GMT

Inertia, that feeling of being stuck and immobilized in your business, is something we’ve all experienced. Recently, I came off of an incredibly busy two years managing several 7-figure launches. During that time I learned alot, worked with great people, made good money and had fun. But, around Thanksgiving, I wanted to refocus on my own business but found myself temporarily immobilized. I didn’t even know where to even start!

Before I share what helped me get moving again, let me share some of the reasons inertia might be showing up in your business…

Fear of alienating others who don’t understand what you're doing or care about and/or possibly leaving someone behind as you move on.
Perfectionism because you don’t know what the perfect thing to do in your business is so you don’t do anything.
Limiting beliefs such as, “Who am I to think I’m an expert when others have more education and have done it longer?”
Overwhelm because you don’t know how to do it, you don’t know who can help you, you think you don’t have the resources, and so forth.

How to Entice Visitors to Your Website…to Wade Into Your Membership Pool

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 20:55:11 GMT

Have you ever been to a picnic by a creek where all the kids hold back, waiting for someone else to jump into the water first? Or they’ll slowly wade in, hugging themselves to protect themselves from the cold.

One thing entrepreneurs quickly learn is that those who come to your website react in much the same way. Because it’s new and they’re unsure of themselves, they don’t plunge in right away, taking advantage of everything you have to offer.

First, they dip into the small pieces of wisdom you share in your blog or free information products. It usually takes a number of visits before they’re comfortable enough to think about joining a membership site even if you’ve loaded it with extra high quality content.

So, how can you entice someone to take the plunge? Here are some tips:

As an entrepreneur, you probably already know how important it is to get clarity on your ideal client. In fact, I’ve found that this description of your ideal client needs to be so detailed that we can see one individual in our mind that we’re appealing to.

I had a coaching call recently with an entrepreneur who has products and services that cater to the needs of moms. We had a very in-depth conversation about this target market and it revealed incredible insights that you can really apply to absolutely any target market.

So I decided to share a few of these gems with you on how to be sensitive to what your target market really wants: ·

When Opportunity Knocks Are You Ready to Answer?

Tue, 09 Aug 2011 05:16:51 GMT

As you’ve been growing your business, have you been continually laying a foundation for continued growth or is it a more hit and miss approach you’re using?

Does it feel like you’re barely keeping ahead? Or maybe you even feel like you’re always trying to catch up?

If that’s the case, are you really ready for that growth as it comes? If a big opportunity dropped in your lap, would you be able to handle it or would you have to watch it slip away? The truth is that opportunity usually comes when you least expect it.
