One of the most common thoughts I coach my clients on is, “It is not working.”
When my clients think this, they feel disappointed and defeated and want to avoid or blame their business.
This one thought keeps them spinning in disappointment and defeated, and sometimes they will say, “I am stuck” or “I feel stuck”.
The most hardworking and determined clients will start looking for more things to do to solve the problem and identify more things to do, change or adjust, but from the emotions of disappointment and defeat.
When I coach them, my first question will be, “What is “it” and what does “not working mean”?
When we identify these two things, we consider what they can do differently in their actions, thoughts, and feelings. I am always amazed by their uniqueness and creativity from this simple clarification.
Some clients will look focus on their thoughts and beliefs.
Other clients will look at the value they are already bringing and increase the value in what they are doing.
Other clients will find ways to streamline their marketing and make it easier for people to understand how their service or product can help their people.
In comparison, another client will increase their offers or clean up their niche.
And these are just some of the amazing ways my clients have gone from disappointed and defeated to inspired, determined, and committed in one call with me.
Working smarter is more than doing more things or doing them faster.
Working smarter is asking different questions, thinking different thoughts, feeling different emotions, and sometimes doing different things.
Working smarter includes eliminating the “stuck,” getting things flowing, and creating more results faster.
