You’re Not A Bitch You’re A Queen

You’re Not A Bitch You’re A Queen

For too long, I have avoided this conversation

When I really should have been embracing it

I am queen through and through

Does that mean I am devoid of feelings

Heck no

It just means I am…a straight shooter

Don’t want to sit around a circle with other women and sing coom by ah

I mean I get it

You want to bond

Here is how I bond

I give constructive feedback that will help you to improve and also elevate you so that you are up for the challenge

I have conversations that don’t (just) involve us crying with no destination

Crying is a form of release

I mean I am not saying you should avoid your feelings

Acknowledge that shit

Process it

Dissect it

Analyse it

So that you deal with that feeling like you just found it watching inappropriate stuff online

Wearing my crown as a queen means

I like to call you out

For example

If my friend says he is tired and wants to go home I say ok wet wipe

Let me walk you home

Funnily enough, he then has another drink

Is that manipulative

Nope

I know him

I love him so I know that calling him a wet wipe is like water off ducks back

I don’t believe in rocking myself in the corner and thinking why doesn’t he want to hang and overanalyzing that conversation when he said this but he meant that.

That shit is draining.

So I am a queen for being assertive

Call me a bitch…

Whatever helps you sleep at night

You keep putting your labels on me

I will be too busy doing me

While you who label me

Keep watching me

Because my actions will speak louder than my words

Don’t be scared to walk alone

Don’t be scared to like it

Sometimes a walk alone can mean that you take your own path

Remember life is like an amusement park, enjoy the ride!

Ruth-Ellen

Make a New Ending

Ruth-Ellen Danquah

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. Maria Robinson So it’s mock exam results time, teenagers across the UK are crying at the results they have just received. Yes literally crying (I am not being dramatic) 😥 They feel like they have worked their butt off and have little to show. 😥They feel like they have failed because they have sat down, focused and sacrificed there time studying relentlessly. 😥 They feel like they gave all they had and it wasn’t enough So you can only imagine the sheer disappointment and low vibe that is emitting from 15-year-olds across the country. But here is the thing…Test results on a piece of paper do not determine your worth ❎ Results from your health and fitness regime do not determine your worth ❎ Results from your business even if you have pushed hard and gave it all you have do not determine your worth ❎ The money in your bank does not determine your worth There are things in life that matter like… ✅ Your well being ✅ Your ability to know you are enough ✅ Your ability to add value to this world ✅ Your ability to be kind & compassionate to another race, the human race ✅ Your ability to be the mum that you were meant to be, the mum that your children have, not the mum they always want ✅Your ability to __________________ (fill in the blank) So let me get back on track, how do you make a new ending???? Here are some of mine… 🤔 1. Feed your future with great intentions & commit – I gave my daughter a pep talk that was Denzel Washington level, it was from the heart, unscripted and got her out of bed (even if it was to get me to stop talking). But she committed to herself what was important and what was not. Give yourself the pep talk that you need, that pep talk you want to hear when you feel like giving up. Speak life into your future. 🤔 2. Get support – I went to my daughter’s parents evening and I said so what is available to take her grades to the next level? What resources have you got, can you tap into that will take you to the next level? 🤔 3. Know what else is possible – I told my daughter you don’t go to school because school is amazing, you go to school because it is one of the ways to get to the destination of your desires. While at school you get to know more. We don’t build businesses to make money, money is simply a tool that helps us to transforms people’s lives. Money is energy, an exchange for services rendered. The money we generate helps others around us to elevate! So how do you know what is possible right now, what do you need to know? For example… 👉 If you don’t get up and dust yourself off you will NEVER KNOW if you are 2 leads away from a customer 👉 If you don’t get up and ask the right questions you will NEVER KNOW if your next question will lead to a breakthrough 👉 If you don’t even play the game then you will KNOW 🤔 if it’s a game you even like 🤷What you don’t know, you don’t know. Start looking at life’s challenges as an OPPORTUNITY to come back bigger and better. Because you were not born to live a mediocre life, no matter what you see around you, no matter the results you currently see! If you can master yourself you can master anything. Once you have the knowledge, it’s time to use it. There is no TRANSFORMATION from information if you’re not using implementation. Your new ending is just that YOURS! Now go and implement! Ruth-Ellen x 🎯 P.S. 90 Day To Sales Mastery is now open I teach you how to s*** or get off the toilet so you can focus on the tasks that get you more SALES and stop doing that other shit. Because wherever you go there you are. Give yourself fucking permission to make money Focus on making £5k or £10k months and don’t deviate from your path, there is a complete your shit plan especially created for when you get unfocused. There are several companies that I have worked with to generate over £120 million in new business sales including Canon, Hewlett Packard, Hutchinson 3G to name a few. Get your processes sorted so you have time to make more offers, convert more leads to conversations and get more sales. Below is the foundational work we do as a breakdown for those that like detail (I am more of a big picture girl, so I feel ya) 😡 WHY YOU ARE NOT GOING TO QUIT, EVER! There isn’t a day that goes by when yet another business owner decides to go and get a “real job” and packs in their dream to own their own business. I have heard so many business owners say that were at the brink of quitting because they were burnt out with all the activities like posting on Instagram, creating 1000 word posts, doing live streams that weren’t converting, the list went on. In our one hour kick-off session we will be going through your past stories that may be stopping you from getting the results you want today! We will explore how to be more resilient, tools we can use now to make sure we can show up in full everyday so we never feel like this isn’t a “real job”! 😡 CUTTING OUT THE JUNK IN YOUR TRUNK Never mistake activity for achievement. Your performance is a measure of your success which is highly dependent on processes. We will look at your current processes, get down and dirty and look underneath the hood of your activities. Then we will tighten up the things you are doing so you can eventually get to that 4 hour work week. It’s time to stop doing what you think you should be doing and start doing the things that bring results 😡 SPEAKING TO YOUR IDEAL CLIENT DAILY In order to close more business, you need to speak to more people. You can’t measure the success of your sales pages, lives, opt ins or videos with numbers that don’t give you a real representation of whether your audience has actually seen your offer. So we will be creating a plan for 30 days of content that your audience need to hear, see and feel in less than an hour and actually create your ‘I need to work with you NOW video’ that will capture your audience’s attention like they’ve been sucker punched! 😡 CLOSING BUSINESS LIKE A BOSS This is your Sales Training 4U coaching call session where you get training on the steps to close a call and you close me on the phone. It’s specifically tailored to you, with improv to challenge you! We will recap and I will talk you through the final key you need to unlock the Get More Sales Habits and uplevel time and time again. 😡 THEN FOR THE NEXT 90 DAYS WE SPRINT ON SPECIFIC WORK AND THEN… 😡 COMPLETE YOUR S***: The Results, The Delete, The Repeat, The Complete! The no excuse session where we look back over the last two weeks, make sure the work you have done aligns with your goal and get to work on the things you still haven’t done.

You Don’t Believe In What You’re Selling, That’s Why You Suck

That’s what I used to think when I used to put an offer out there and get crickets ? Crickets will mean I would RUN ?? (like someone was chasing me) towards overwhelm…
I would run to the latest webinar I would run to the latest freebie I would run to the latest (insert here) _____ offer hoping that by watching, downloading, implementing it would fix my suckiness. It didn’t, all this would do would cause me more overwhelm… I would run to coaches that had similar solutions I had but delivered it in different ways only to get frustrated with them. Because I knew this stuff and more, but I didn’t believe in me anymore. So I wasn’t going to IMPLEMENT anything they said because I convinced myself it didn’t work. Weeks would go by and I would speak to people on the phone that couldn’t AFFORD even my low end offers. I would be drowning in people who needed to speak to their PARTNERS which all translated into they wasn’t READY. More weeks would go by and I would get less sleep WORRYING about the bills piling up, the kids I need to look after Months would go by where I would finally invest in a COURSE to go to another level, to see absolutely no results. That’s a lie, I saw results I got even MORE suckier. And it did not change. Until I decided to take a stand. Then EVERYTHING changed. Because I decided to dig deep and truly UNDERSTAND why I was attracting people that weren’t ready Because I decided to take off the suckiness that other people had DROWNED me in. Because I silenced the voices of ROOKIES that were leading me down a tunnel that had no exit Until you INSIST on taking a stand nothing will change… You cannot sell if you don’t BELIEVE what you’re selling, all the “should be” activities you are doing has stuck to you like a bad smell that won’t g away You cannot sell with belief if you’re constantly APOLOGISING for existing and being YOU. Because guess who shows up when you do this? A clone of someone who is already taken. You cannot sell with belief if you come from a place of LACK and GUILT because you are trying to please everyone So I AM here to help you sell, selling is what I believe is going to help impact the world. Only when you BELIEVE in you because of your UNIQUE insights, experiences, and TALENTS will you say yes to you. When you say yes to you, others will say yes to you. I didn’t help my client sell 7 figures worth of new business just by luck, it was because I BELIEVED! So if you BELIEVE in what you are selling, you believe in your mission, you will sell bucket loads and help your clients see the TRANSFORMATION they need. Only then will you totally change your sales game and day by day the world!

How To Create A Complete System To Acquire & Retain Customers

Does your funnel have a hole in it?

Do you know how to attract a customer but after the attraction stage, everything seems to fall flat?

Are you getting likes, views, and engagement but little to no sales?

Sometimes I believe we should all think like we are in startup mode.

Because often time in scale-up mode we can become complacent and have big gaping holes in our processes.

What happens when you don’t fix your funnel?

I have many clients and leads that come to me initially wanting to increase their social media, they want more likes, more engagement, but that doesn’t equate to sales.

We are in a culture where vanity metrics like views, likes, and shares have made us lose focus on the bigger picture.

The bigger picture, the thing that we should always focus on is SALES and that all the activities we are spending our time doing (including executing our content strategy) have to be in alignment with getting the sale.

Our content strategy is just one element of the sales process

[bctt tweet=”Your sales performance in your business is a result of the sales processes you have in place.” username=”saleswithruth”]

Your sales performance in your business is a result of the sales processes you have in place.

Making sure you’re focused on activities that result in sales is an essential component of the process of planning which will impact your performance for the better

Here’s the thing a sales process can be as complicated or as simple as you want.

How do we fix your funnel?

There is a 5-step process for start-up growth called Pirate Metrics a concept that Dave McClure (angel investor and now head of 500 Startups) that I always make sure my clients work on in order to see growth.

These are the five areas most crucial for startup growth to focus on.

The process consists of the focusing on acquisition, activation, revenue, retention, and referral strategy (AARRR).

And this AARRR process is probably the easiest way to stay on track when it comes to a complete end to end process of how to acquire a customer and generate revenue on repeat. Everybody wants a passive income business, but there is no passive without a system. But remember this is a system, in between all of this are the methods, without having a method to implement all of this you’re just making plans.

Below are a few questions that you may want to have think about for before you even start throwing more money at websites, marketing and any other things you believe you need to make money. This is all about optimizing what you’re already doing not starting from scratch.

What process will help you fix your funnel?

Acquisition

To really track the success of your acquisition numbers, you need to track how many people you convert into customers.
  • How are you going to acquire a customer?
  • Which specific social media channel do your customers actually buy from?
  • What is the cost to acquire each customer (customer acquisition cost – CTC)?

Activation

The task is not to only get people signed up but to also get them to use your service so they see the transformation in their life.
  • What does your onboarding sequence for our new customer look like?
  • What journey does the customer take when they join?
  • What type of customer stays and which ones opt out?

Retention 

Acquiring a new customer is 5 to 10 times more than retaining an old one. Think about it, it is easier to upsell a customer that has already bought from you rather than go out and chase new business, you’ve already got that no, like trust factor.
  • How do we delight our existing customers?
  • How can I increase the average lifetime length of our customers?
  • If a customer makes a decision to leave what is the sequence we implement to reduce this churn?

Referral

I don’t recommend companies that are pants, in fact, I do the opposite and tell people not to use them, after all, I am not one go down a tunnel of destruction. However, when I do refer, an incentive can often mean the difference between a casual comment and a structured approach. The structured approach helps the company see where their referral traffic is coming from which always great for business.
  •  How do I encourage my existing customers to refer their network to me?
  • What element of the multi-channel referral programs can be improved?
  • How are we measuring the success of our referral programs?

Revenue  

Sometimes it is just taking the time to  optimise your engagement, pricing and sales funnels that will allow you to see growth
  • How do we delight our existing customers so that they become raving fans?
  • How can you increase the lifetime value (LTV) of each customer?
  • Which pricing models need to change for customer clarity?

I am a people watcher I think officially it’s not called being nosey #judgeme, it’s actually called anthropology When I found that you could get paid for staring at people I thought “what I can get paid for this?” There is cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, social anthropology, you get the idea.

I am actually #jobcrushing right now and thinking about my life choices, (yeah I know I am part of the #latesquad) So let me get into business anthropology I constantly keep an eye on what is working for the competition And you can wipe that rubbish from your ass about there is no competition, competition is real it exists Competition is a word in the dictionary, let’s not get delusional However, regardless of the competition, we shouldn’t compare ourselves to them, after all, everybody is in a different race.

How To Be Consistent When You’re ADHD

Ruth-Ellen Danquah
-
0

Why did I decide to write a post about how to be consistent when I am not consistent.

And here lies the problem.

I am consistent

I consistently go gym

I consistently get up

I consistently make food for my kids

Consistently means something different to different people

And that difference made me totally hate the word consistency

My hate for consistency

Honestly, I  used to dislike the phrase ‘be consistent’ or the word ‘consistency; it’s bandied around way too much.

Almost like it’s the secret sauce that can make Kale taste like succulent brown stew chicken.

Which it can’t!

To be clear kale will never be anything close to brown stew chicken.

You’re lucky if Kale taste even 10% like Ghana Kenkey

Yes, the word consistency is dry.

Let me tell you, consistency is as appealing as dry toast that has been pissed on and left over night. I avoided the word because it smelt foul and almost seemed to me that folks were saying put shit content out there as long as it’s consistent.

I avoided the word because it smelt foul and almost seemed to me that folks were saying put crap content out there as long as it’s consistent (really dude? really?).

It’s not the quantity of time you spend on social media it’s the quality.

There is no point implementing a plan that doesn’t lead to your goal.

For example you can’t make SALES without marketing because without marketing you’re invisible. You’ve heard it all before, I hear you. But all this MARKETING you are doing is supposed to do one thing. MARKETING is supposed to start an ideal SALES conversation. Marketing helps your ideal customer to know, like & trust you, if you are doing it right. So measure, measure and measure your marketing efforts because if they are not converting to help your bottom line, then you need to make some changes! So stop wasting time on social media and get more strategic, because life is too short Ruth-Ellen

Awwww, the term ‘be consistent’ used to get more so stone cold angry!

consistency makes me angry

How do you change your own stance on being consistent?

Well you have to do what I did,  do a complete reframe of what being consistent means, you’ve got to change your perspective

So that the phrase consistency works for YOU rather than it working on YOU.

Because I know my distaste for consistency was much smaller than the love I had for achieving my dreams!

I had to step back and think of the passionate hatred I had for the word consistency and how much it was costing me

The cost of not being consistent

My hate for consistency was costing me results I needed in order to find out whether a strategy was effective enough.

My hate for consistency was making my sales funnel longer than needed (losing £££££ per month)

My hate for consistency was messing with my fulfilling my vision  and overall purpose

Total cost of consistency = too much

Work out what your lack of consistency is costing you.

I had a revelation…my hate for consistency was like being on a train and getting off too early because it was taking too long to get to my destination.

That was not only illogical but also a complete waste of time.

✋️ Just because the train ? has stopped it doesn’t mean it is your time to get off ?

?Your destination isn’t even located on the map, that is how phenomenal your vision for your future is ?

Woooohoooo, keep going towards your destination‼️

I also had to acknowledge my feelings and situation and get real. I have a real problem with social media and needed to take stock of what I was really doing with my life!

So lot’s of people have used the word be consistent, but I am the type of learner that likes to go deeper, you can’t just tell me to change my behaviour because it benefits my audience, you have to involve me.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. Benjamin Franklin

So how do you learn to be consistent when you have ADHD?

Consistency is a skill.

A high performance skill consists of having the right environment, ease and enjoyment in the process to engage a ADHD brain

And in order to learn a skill, you have to be involved in the process

The questioning process is the first step

So here are some questions that will help you learn how to be consistent?

The First Step In Consistency

What stops you from being consistent?

My Answer: Overwhelm from the experts who have conflicting messages about what I should be doing and their opinions on the way I speak, what I speak about and my imperfections

Your Anwer_________________

So here’s what you need to remember…

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is no effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt  

Then I asked my highest self, what must I do to focus on my big vision?

Answer: Create goals?

My immediate response was yeah but I have created goals before

So asked yourself this question what needs to change when it comes to your goal setting technique?

Do you need to create goals that fit in with my behaviour rather than completely change my behaviour?

Second Step of Consistency

Folks, boys, and girls I present DUMB goals, this is the second step

DUMB goals is an acronym and is a concept that I first heard about from Brendon Burchard when I took one of his group coaching program (disclaimer, I like to give props where they are due).

D = Dream

U = Uplifting

M = Method

B = Behaviour

Here is my take on the DUMB goal it is called a D.R.E.A.M.S goal inspired by Brendon

D = Destination – Where are you going, what does that look, feel and sound like?

R = Remarkable – Who will you become after you achieve this goal?

E = Elevation – How will this goal help others?

A = Attitude – Which version of me do I need to show up as?

M = Microwave – What is going to give you instant gratification? How can I am amplify this? If you were to know the steps to get your dish hot in your mind what would they steps consist of?

S= Swinging & Singing – What song will be my anchor to keep going no matter what?

Want strategies on how to stay consistent so you can achieve your goals? or maybe you want to streamline your processes/systems so you can increase your overall effectiveness?

Then do this third step:

How To Build Your Personal Brand Through Your Messaging

With the power of your personal brand, you have the opportunity to influence your tribes buying decisions through the know like trust factor.  It’s a form of attraction marketing and helps to position you as the expert in whatever field you declare you’re an expert in. Personal branding through your messaging, which is essentially your beliefs, values and thoughts helps you to connect with people that want and need to hear your message without them feeling like you violated there space.

So what is a personal brand?

A personal brand is essentially the continuous process of establishing an image or impression in the mind of others about you as an individual, it’s using your personality to connect with others. Your personal brand is you unapologetically talking about how you went from A to B, so that your ideal client knows what is possible for them Some people call themselves influencers as a result of this process.

When it comes to your personal brand the struggle is real but the message is more real!

What do you do when you have 10 views on a  video ? Question: Does that make your message any less meaningless? Heck no ? It’s not about vanity metrics (numbers) it’s about calling the right people that I you are  aiming at to their highest self.
?Your message is not for everyone Most of the scholars, musicians were only fully appreciated when they die (don’t worry mum this isn’t a cry for help ?)
For a long time, I forget these words and focused on fear. In fact, fear convinced me that I needed to hide in the background.

Continuing your personal brand is feeling the fear and doing it anyway

See if you notice the fear in your life through my experiences with fear: My fear convinced me that I needed to be more of an “expert” My fear convinced me that the way I speak wasn’t good enough and that I needed diction lessons before I had the audacity to speak in front of a crowd My fear told me that the way I look wasn’t good enough. Because of my fear I was constantly doubting myself, I was dimming my light Over thinking. I was focused on my grammar. Focused on my diction. So focused that I forgot about what was important. So what was important? My message was important! Here is the thing… If you’re talking to the right person then they will grab the right nuggets of information so that you see more participation. This is regardless if they pick up what you’re putting down…today, tomorrow…or 2 years from now! Imagine if there was something you wanted so badly that you stopped at nothing to get it? Could you imagine if you woke up every morning and went to bed every night totally obsessed with making it happen? Imagine if you didn’t get it? Would you stop going for it? “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.” ― Les Brown Don’t stop, you are closer than you think to having, everything you’ve ever imagined Don’t let fear stop you from getting what you want! Don’t let a little word like false evidence appearing real (F.E.AR) stop you from living a big life. Don’t give it so much much power that you hate your life so much, that it stops you from what you’ve imagined your life could be

Can my personal brand be an effective way to speak your truth?

Most definitely, personal branding is all about being unapologetic about your desires, because you have the platform to articulate your truth with no apologies. So how do you have the courage to speak your truth even when it is challenging?  Especially when fear is staring at you in the face:
  1. Prepare for rejection, in fact, read Rejection In Sales and why people that say no are doing you a HUGE favour
  2. Reclaim your power – People can not take away your power without you giving it away to them, know that you’re good enough regardless
  3. Reignite your confidence – Confidence is an energy that I choose to emit, something that I choose to feel moment by moment. When you’re selling your ideas to others, articulating your vision, you need to believe in it. Read 10 Ways to  Sell with Confidence to implement the 10 to sell with confidence

Your personal brand doesn’t start from “The Sales Conversation”

So where does personal brand start? It starts from every touchpoint of your brand. They may find you on Twitter, Instagram, social media mention, an email, your website, word of mouth etc. There are many ways for people to find you, you can’t control that part of the attraction journey, however, you can control the experience of the attraction journey. [bctt tweet=”There are many ways for people to find you, you can’t control the how but you can control the experience of the attraction journey.” username=”iamruthellen”]
‼️Never stop speaking YOUR truth, someone is waiting to hear from you. When you have something you believe in state it because people don’t need you to agree with them. No one like a yes man/woman. ? People want you to challenge their thinking, which is not talking at them but talking with them. So start to challenge their thinking by giving them a different viewpoint. Be open to creating dialogue for a two-way conversation, after all, we didn’t come to our version of truth by accident we got there by experiencing life, feeling life and hearing life. Your message means something, so go out there and spread your personal branding message.

?Stop Eating ?What People Are Feeding You ?

If you want to really start getting in the game (taking inspired action) and stop with trying to gain more head knowledge (the gear) then I need you to listen very carefully

1. Don’t apologise for being you

I am not just a mom, I am an advocate of equality, truly believe that no man woman or child born with a learning disability should be born into poverty or social exclusion. However, these things happen and anyone stuck in victim mode needs to look again and realise just because people feed you shit about there own fears it doesn’t mean that you have to eat it. Stop eating shit. I also believe that you deserve more, but you have to not only go out and get it with every breath in your body but you have to consistently and intentionally go and get it. I am also a speaker, a divorcee, a mum who chooses to be single, a 7 figure business development manager, a WordPress developer, a certified trainer, a certified coach, founder of confident school, lingeriestar where truly believe every woman deserves to feel like a star, a burlesque dancer, improv artist, avid movie watcher, dancer, weirdo and there is even more to me that I find out about myself every day so I surprise myself and have always something new to share

2. Find your Malibu & Coke

M&C is my favorite drink (alcohol that is). It’s my go to. My friends know what to order me and if everything else is inconsistent, it is never my drink choice, my Malibu and Coke stays consistent. Remember what it that YOU stay consistent about. What you are known for in terms of your values, your truths, And perspectives change and your truth will change. However, your consistent core of who you are and what you stand for is consistent because you should know who you are and what type of legacy you are trying to create. Years ago I wrote my fucking eulogy and I consistently go back to it, what I want others to say about me, what impact I made and my husbands words about me. Come to think of it I don’t want him to remarry so he should die before me, no actually I should. Note to self: get a husband first and then decides who dies  

3. Only Entertain Reynolds

You know the people that will up your game! Reynolds notably championed the idea of a “Deadpool” standalone movie for over a decade before the first feature hit theaters. He first saw the comic strip in 2004, then the first draft of the script was penned five years later. It was finally greenlit years after that and hit theaters in 2016. Be around people that are growth engineers. People that are persistent f*** who don’t give up, who inspires you to be the best version of yourself. I no longer accept people that don’t do that for me. Why? Because life is win win, I shouldn’t be propping you up and dragging myself down, that shit is draining

4. Be clear on your goals & don’t let foolishness take you off track

My diction is an issue for some people. I can’t control whether somebody likes my tone, the way I pronounce things. it comes back to number one apologising for who you are. I was born with an umbilical cord around my neck which stopped me from being able to breathe. I didn’t realise the impact of that until I was in my 30’s but when I did I started public speaking lessons. I have been going to Toastmaster meetings for over 4 years, but here’s the thing the people that I have sold to, have understood me completely. And I have sold millions, that’s what I have to focus on when someone tries to feed me their shit (back to point 1). Because for a long time I didn’t go public because of the diction issue, the dyspraxia issue, but I am not a victim and my vision is bigger than my ego and people pleasing doesn’t serve me. So control what you can. For example: How many live streams you did you do today? How many people did you ask to jump on a call? And how many people you have conversations with? This is not about whether they take your offer, you can’t control that, you can only control how you show up

5. Repeat what works and get rid of the stuff that doesn’t

My short sightedness my trait of being myopic is not a bad thing. Because looking too far ahead will get you unfocused. We are constantly told we are stuck and we need to unblock things before we can move forward. If that is the case how come you can move things like a car that is broken down. Yes, it is a bit more effort but it is doable. Stuck doesn’t mean you can whistle while you work   Want strategies on how to stay in your zone of genius and take inspired action or maybe you want to streamline your processes/systems so you can increase your sales?

How To Keep Your Productivity High!

Didn’t you hear we are in the lost decade for productivity Are we? Yes our productivity high has now gone, bye bye It is undeniable that social media has increased the sales buying cycle. Yeah I said it Back in the day, you weren’t looked at like a weirdo, accused of being scummy or inauthentic for simply selling.   Can you believe these are the words people use when it comes to the word sales? You would have thought you said you said something outrageous like you don’t like cats.           Back in the day…You simply took action and went over to someone, started a conversation (shock horror). And then you found some synergy and a handshake meant you started your business relationship. Back in the day…You weren’t thought of as charismatic just because you could talk to anyone (I mean come on people that trait is standard). Back in the day…You weren’t thought of as bold just because you asked for the sale over the phone (really dude?) Now we are told to nurture our leads (erm we was always nurturing). Now we have become people that have gone from being bold enough to ask questions and find out what the deal is, to skirting around the issue and feeling shamed when we finally pluck up the courage to ask for the sale. Now instead of talking to 100 people a day over the phone about how your solution can help them and pick up on social cues to customise the conversation. We now talk to 1000’s of people about their problems via video with kid gloves and make assumptions about their circumstances almost like we are trying to be their bad friend. Yes bad friend! Relationships in sales isn’t about being the bad friend who doesn’t tell them they have food on their mouth from lunch or spinach in their teeth. Real relationships in sales is telling people hey, you have spinach in your teeth now let’s do something about it, unapologetically. Sales are simple, it’s built on the foundation of relationships, information gathering and providing customised value, but somehow some of us have allowed the new tools to mess with our process. And our processes have a knock on effect on our results.   To be clear: If we are not being productive than our sales will suffer! Let me back up my thoughts with actual facts, according to the latest article in the financial times
The productivity of Britain’s workers, measured by their output per hour, fell 0.1 per cent in the second quarter after a 0.5 per cent fall in the first. Workers are slightly less productive than they were in 2007, confirming a so-called “lost decade” for productivity. Economists do not fully understand why Britain’s productivity growth has faltered since the financial crisis. Other countries have also suffered a slowdown, but the problem has been particularly acute in the UK, where workers are about 23 and 27 per cent less productive than their French and German counterparts, respectively.
Now I am not here to trump economists (after all I only studied in for a year at Brunel University). But the stats probably don’t even begin to dive deep into the stats for people that work from home, MLM, self-employed, teams that have no structure…I could go on but I think you know the picture I am painting on the canvas. So what can be done to keep your productivity high?

1. Start Taking Inspired Action to Keep Productivity High

Inaction leads to fewer results, Our need to be seen as perfect by our peers has led to more inaction than ever. Similarly, people offering their unwanted feedback in an unconstructive way has led to people feeling judged for having an original thought.
We have grammar Pokemon’s (except we don’t choose you) all over “professional” social media platforms, causing people to second guess themselves and stopping people from showing up and taking imperfect action. Forgetting that being imperfect is what connects us as human beings. Imperfect action trumps perfect inaction. Sidenote: It’s time to stand up for yourself: I refuse to apologise for my grammar! After all, I was not born with a pen in my hand (not only would that have popped a vessel or two in my mother’s womb but it would have also been also stop me from being creative).

2. Use Self Awareness to Keep Productivity High

3. Use Social Media To Keep Productivity High

Is there a correlation between social media increase and productivity decrease? More than likely. Am I advocating ditching all your social media activities, erm no! Just use it wisely, for those that like to take action my challenge to you is this: Use social media in conjunction WITH your work to be productive For example, I created a facebook bot sequence that complements a daily planner on Facebook so you’re prompted to stay on track (see the link below for the example). How can you make sure your activities on social media increase your productivity instead of decreases it?

4. Stop Boring Meetings To Keep Productivity High

Haha, I am laughing because I can tell you’re saying your meetings are not boring (get lost Ruth-Ellen). That’s like me saying I am funny (I know I am not), I accept it now. The sooner you admit you have boring meetings the sooner we can all stop pretending. Here is the thing… Nobody likes a know it all (trust me). And that is why no one listens to your ideas. Because you know it all, you know the solution. But no one will follow a vision that he or she is not part of the vision and will become disengaged. Many of my clients have a problem with retention & overall engagement for this very problem. But what if all this changed for you? Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. Benjamin Franklin Imagine if you could use one tool to be more inclusive. One tool so others see your ideas and take them on board instead of them coming to the same conclusion you had but many months later. So what’s the tool? Sketching (done effectively) has so many benefits to problem-solving including planning, meetings and improving overall communication sketching at work So there we are action, self-awareness, social media & inclusive meetings will help you increase your productivity, so you don’t become one of those people that are in the lost decade in productivity.
