Showing Up in Business

Speaker 1 0:02

Are you willing to show up when there are crickets ? Are you willing to show up when you don't get the views that you want ? Are you willing to show up , or is there a only if added to the end of that ? I'm willing to show up when I'm willing to show up if I'm willing to be consistent if , because so many times as an entrepreneur , right , as a business owner , we do not get the instant gratification that we want . I put up a pretty spicy post on Instagram this morning And I think it's really vital to understand that 20 some percent of businesses close before the first year , another like 28% before the year two and 48% before year five . The reason why is because there's a lot of reasons why , but one of the main reasons why is because we want and need to know that it's working . We need some kind of proof and we need some kind of validation .

Speaker 1 1:11

I talked yesterday in the activation program about showing up for a webinar in 2018 , a masterclass , but back then I didn't know there was such thing as a masterclass , so I called it a webinar and I literally nobody showed up . No one showed up , and I think this was a really pivotal moment in my business back in 2018 because I had a choice . I had a choice to be like , okay , people signed up and didn't show up , like I'm just not even going to worry about it , or am I going to show up regardless ? And I obviously showed up . No one ever showed up . I still showed up for me . Even when others don't show up , i choose to show up And I want to ask you is that what's happening for you ? Are you willing to show up when anybody else isn't ? Are you willing to sell when you're not getting sales and keep going ? Are you willing to sell when you're not getting sales and keep going ? Are you willing to launch when nobody's engaging or acting interested in the offer that you have ? Very rarely does anything in business , in life , like work , just like that . There's trial and error , there's growth , there's breakdowns and breakthroughs and so many things that we get to go through . But every single day , we have a choice , and it's am I going to show up for myself , am I going to show up for others ? Or I'm mad It's not working , so I'm going to sit back and just be like forget it . I have had many launches that were working on the offer . I have had many launches that were what , what , what and did not do well . I've had many sales that nobody bought .

Speaker 1 3:08

And there's this thing that comes along with being a business owner , especially being visible and especially showing up on social media , that a lot of times I talked about this . In next level , you , that our ego , gets involved . Our ego says I'm not going to continue to show up because no one is commenting and no one is watching my videos And everyone sees that I have no views on my videos Or no one's buying , and I don't want everybody to know that I'm not selling , so I'm going to go hide . This does not work , my friend . If you're not making any sales and you go hide , you're not going to make any more sales . It's just the way it is . It's not going to just magically come down from the heavens that you get sales by not showing up . So we let our ego get involved and say I don't have the proof , i don't have the validation , i don't have all of this , so I'm just going to be like goodbye , i'm going to go hide , i'm not going to do this anymore , i'm not going to play this game anymore , i'm just done . And so when we see that businesses close before year one and year two and so many before

The Power of Relentless Persistence

year five .

Speaker 1 4:28

We understand that because it's hard , it is not easy . Nothing worth having in life is easy . Are there easier moments in my business now ? Yes , i've been doing this since 2016 . Done for you , 2016 to 2018 . I started creating programs in 2018 . 2018 , they flopped Why I wasn't visible . I didn't know what I was doing and I also don't know that I was ready . 2019 , that started to change . 2020 , it got a better . 2021 blew my freaking mind , but it's been this trajectory right .

Speaker 1 5:14

I love to say that I'm a late bloomer . Some people can do it really fast , but the reason I took longer was because I had a lot of work to do on myself , on my belief on my personal power , feeling the need to be validated by social media and cells and all of those things did nothing for me . So the question is are you willing to show up ? When I set a goal for myself and I challenged myself , i am willing to show up , like I talked about when I said I'm going to launch every single month . That does not mean that every launch has been successful . That does not mean that every launch has been great . It doesn't mean that every launch , i've even sold anything . The majority , yes , i have sold something , but there have been times I haven't .

Speaker 1 6:02

And if you get to make the decision , am I going to still show up , even if I didn't get the result that I wanted , even if I didn't get the validation I wanted , even if I didn't get the cells that I wanted , can I still show up ? Can I still put myself out there tomorrow ? You always have a decision . Where you are at right now in your business is because of the choices you've made , and here is a choice that I started making , like last year , probably about last summer , about this time . I win . In every freaking situation I win . I always win Because if I don't win because of the cells , right , i win because of how I show up . I win because I don't stop . I win because I'm relentless . I will not stop . I keep going .

Speaker 1 6:53

Giving up is sometimes easier . If you've ever heard my the day almost killed my business since September of 2020 , i almost killed my business . I was literally ready to walk away . Had I walked away , i would have walked away from over half a million of revenue since then , but I didn't walk away . I kept going and going and going and going , even when it was hard . Do I need rest days ? Do I need days where I cry and then I pull my big girl panties up and I go , i go , move forward . Yes , 100% . Never going to deny that I have emotions , i have moments , but I just don't stop . I might pause , i might take a step back to review what's going on , but I don't stop .

Speaker 1 7:51

So where can you show up more ? Where can you show up more consistently ? And where are you hiding That you get to show up ? These are deep questions I got to answer for myself . And how can you win in every situation ? How can you spin that perspective Where that you're empowering yourself , that you're in control ? I went in every situation . Doesn't that feel good ? Say it , i went in every situation . It feels freaking amazing . I'm so glad my mentor said that to me because it was one of the best things she ever said . And I went in every situation Hard , difficult , rough times . I went in them all . They're all serving me , they're all for me , like life isn't happening to me , it's happening for me .

Focus on Long-Term Success

Speaker 1 8:47

Tony Robbins says that a lot And if you can believe that deep down in your heart , you're going to do fine . You will not be one of those businesses that ends in the year one , end of year two or end of year five . You will be in it for the long haul . Everything I do is for the longevity . It is never for this launch , this sell , this product , this program , this live , this video , this TikTok . It's never for the one thing , it is for the big picture thing , my friend , and if you could stay and look at the big picture and be here for the long haul , you're going to do just fine . Let's go in in every situation that we put ourselves in today .
