Why am I not getting clients? Great question. An

Asking for help is one of the bravest and smartest

Asking for help is one of the bravest and smartest things you can do.

Last week I had a conversation with my clients about this exact topic…and it was a reminder I think we all need to hear.

You are not meant to figure everything out on your own.

You are not meant to do it all on your own.

In fact, this is the long and tedious path to where you want to go…in your business and in your life.

But this means you have to be willing to ASK for support.

From a coach, from your partner, from your parents, your kids, your friends.

Asking for support does not mean you are weak.

It does not mean you are failing.

It means you are smart.

It means you don’t want to waste precious time and energy stumbling around…yes, even when your pride tells you you should.

It means you recognize that the fastest way to get to where you want to go is by learning from someone who’s gone before you and done it.

It means that you are willing to be vulnerable and admit that you need a little help.

Don’t expect people to magically read your mind and know when you are struggling…this is silly.

You need to ask.

Let go of worrying about what people think of you.

We ALL have problems (usually many of them), we ALL go through life challenges (yearly, monthly and yes, even daily) and we ALL need help...sometimes a lot of it 😅

Ready to start asking for help? 😘

We live in a world where we have endless access to

We live in a world where we have endless access to pleasure at our very finger tips.

Sugary food.
Social media.
Shopping.
Gambling.
Sex.
Drugs/alcohol.
TV.

All of these things release dopamine in the brain, which feels pleasurable and gets us coming back for more.

Our prehistoric animal brain is always seeking pleasure and wants the quickest route there.

So we face a challenge.

The challenge between what our prehistoric animal brain wants us to do and what we HAVE to do to create the business and life we want.

Luckily as humans, we have a frontal cortex (higher functioning) area of our brain that allows us to override our animal brain and make decisions that will delay immediate pleasure for the reward of long term pleasure.

This is the same functioning we need to use to lose weight.

Put off the short term pleasure of sugary, processed food in favor of the long term pleasure of eating in a way that leads to health and weight loss.

Sounds simple, right?

It is simple, but it’s not easy.

If it were, we would not have a world that struggles so deeply with addiction.

We wouldn’t sabotage ourselves and participate in the activities that keep us from the things we want the very most.

This is why it is so challenging to start/grow a successful business.

You need to put off short term pleasure in favor of reaching your long term goals.

You need to get vulnerable, make mistakes, face failure and do things you find challenging or won’t want to do.

Your brain will shout at you every day. No no no.

And you have to be brave enough to keep going.

And when you do, you get to experience the REAL lasting pleasure that comes with putting off immediate pleasure for long term reward.

And that is the BEST pleasure you can ever experience. ✨
