UNfiltered 5 Min: "I'm a great coach, but I suck at business."

I have thought that myself.

I have seen people say it.

I have seen people write about it, this idea that I'm so good at helping people.

I'm so good at coaching them.

I can really have a transformation, be it in fitness, marketing, mindset, whatever it is.

You're so good at what you do.

You get people to have amazing experiences and you get referrals.

But the problem is feeling like the business side is just not there.

And I relate to this so much because I think that especially if you're in a field where you want to give and you want to be of service, it's so easy to keep on giving and giving and giving and not really understanding how to put the strategy around that.

So if this is you, no worries.

Like a lot of people have felt this.

And I think the biggest things that have made the difference that start to make this shift where you start to see, okay, the way that I serve people and help them is not the same way that I get them in the door.

The way you talk to people once they are working with you is not the same as when they haven't even come and said, hey, I want to be there.

And I think the other thing is, and this took me way too long to realize, is that these sort of skills to convert, to build, to do this stuff, most of us don't have when we start our business.

We don't have them.

I wish that just with time you start to learn them, but that's not necessarily the case.

It is so often the case that you actually need to go and seek them out.

You need to find the mentor, the program, the podcast, whatever it is to learn these skills of how do you talk about your business and what you do in a way that gets people to feel desire for it in a way that makes it feel easy for them.

And in a way that makes you very distinct and unique.

And it's just not something that most of us know how to do.

That's the second thing.

If you don't have the skills, go seek them however it makes sense to do that.

Even if it's the case of just, hey, today I'm going to listen to a podcast about it.

You know, there's lots of episodes on this show that you can go and do that.

But some sort of action instead of thinking that, oh, things will just change.
