How To Stop Hating Your Career NOW

Are you stopping yourself from having the career you really want?

This can lead to resentment, in the following post I will give you five steps, so you know how to stop hating your career now 

I am getting married on a beach, a beach in Rio. That is the bottom line. It is a non-negotiable *mic drop*

So what?

Well…how many times have you stated what you really wanted and actually got it?

Your reluctance to build the career that you really want is fear.

When you settle for less than your expectations you leave the door open for disappointment.

Your fear of raising your prices, asking for the sale or being visible, is your fear of failure.

You’re withdrawing from the situation if you’re not approaching it.

There is no in between.

Stop avoiding failure, stop the fear, change your image, your belief, get out of your own way with these 5 tips…

[bctt tweet=”Don’t lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. – Ralph Marston” username=”iamruthellen”]

1. Get Clear – Yes clarity, the word that gets bashed around like a boxing bag. Ask yourself what you really want. Then ask yourself what you really want again. No matter what your mind feedbacks to you, remember this is what you want.

2. Don’t argue with your mind, listen to all reasons why you won’t / can’t have it. Use all that delightful, insightful feedback as intel you can use to answer your inner critic. Allow all those objections and then like Rocky Balboa make a come back with answers that leave your mind floored.

Live outside your comfort zone to get the results you seek…

3. Get into the ideal career conversations, as often as possible –
When you know all the reasons people won’t give you buy in for a promotion you can then work on ways to close your career gaps. Influencing is a daily practice. Make sure you have the right mindset to advance your career.

4. Get accountability with support – There is no point being accountable to someone who doesn’t give you the support when you feel stuck. When you get accountability with no support it is almost like going into the ring with a boxing coach that is on your competitors side. The RIGHT support stops you from making excuses.

5. Have a strategy that you have tested that works for you – Here is the thing, different strategies for your career work for you that won’t work for other people. There is a place for LinkedIn,  Instagram, a place for Facebook and a place for Pinterest. Test what works for you. Offline, online etc… whatever you use, make sure it is strategic.

Here’s to being celebrated not tolerated ✊️

3 Quick Ways To Fall Back In Love With Your Business #childsplay

Like a teenager that refuses to pull their weight when it comes to chores, a colleague who expects to reap the rewards with no return, your business can sometimes make you want to kiss your teeth at it. So let me jump into three ways to fall back in love with your business so that you are feeding positivity in to see positivity out ?

1. Fall back in love via Your Inner Rick Flair

Write 50 ways why your business kicks butt, adds value and is the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be Woooooo (Ric Flair). Why 50? Well, I was going to ask you do 200 like my coach told me to do years ago when I was mad at my business but I am obviously nicer 😉

via GIPHY

Then do 7 days of business love mini challenge

Step 1 – Pick your top 7 reasons

Step 2 – Journal each day about the specific reason – bonus post one each day on social media #inlove

2. Fall Back in Love via ROI

Revive your business through getting your return on investment by making sales – Reach out to people that have engaged in your content

1. Thank them for engaging with your content
2. Ask them if they would like to join your group
3. See if they are interested in a focused mini session
4. Invite them to your program that helps to transform them

Get uncomfortable and know that you can laugh at yourself, it is a sign of maturity

3. Fall Back in Love via Your Transformational Solution

Create a mind map of all the offers that help to transition your client from their current situation to a better situation.

I just need you to remember whatever goal you ‘re aiming for right now will be achieved.

You just have to stay focused on your dream, your why!

Why do you want this so bad?
Why do you need this to happen?
Why do you deserve this?

Your dream, the big why has to be all over your plan. Because that dream motivates you when your vibration is low, it helps you to stay high.

You’ve got this!

Here’s to staying confident ✊

How To Increase Your Sales Using Your Website With Ease

First of all, let me take you through the journey people are taking when they visit your site:

The person comes onto your site hoping that the search engine description and title they saw in the search results match the content on the page they have just landed on. And if it doesn’t meet their expectations (within 3 seconds or less) people jump straight off your site, this is called a bounce rate. Your job is to reduce these bounce rates.

Bounce rates are as scary as Chucky (yes from Childsplay). Because Chucky doesn’t want to be your friend he wants to ruin the life of your business, your sales, which is affecting how much you love or hate your business.

But this can be reduced by having a clear user experience, including copy, clear call to actions, easy to read font, clean design, etc.

Now let’s get into the nitty gritty…

Here are 5 ways to get more traffic:

1. When you create content, offer visitors a chance to go deeper with your content by offering them a content upgrade to learn more if they were to opt-in. This content upgrade could be a checklist, ebook etc.

2. Write skyscraper articles (Google loves them). Huh? Ok so this is a warning it is labour intensive.

Step 1 – go to Buzzsumo look for your keyword you are trying to place for

Step 2 –  See which one has the most shares on the social network you are present on

Step 3 –  Find ways to make a better version of that content, I am talking twice as long, better images, better quotes, better attitude, just better …do it, do it now!!!

3. Tell your list that you have just written an article. But don’t just tell them, show them. Create an extract of the post and add your 2 cents as to why it will help them solve that problem. Then add a link to the rest of the article (you will be surprised at how many people don’t do this).

4. Do an MC Hammer – the ‘you can’t touch this technique’ (yes I made it up, I am an unapologetic 80’s child) is all about creating content that makes people laugh, follow you,  interact with you because you are not like the rest of the pack. Personality increases visibility and sales!
5. When creating your sales offer make sure you are telling people about your specific transformational outcome. What exactly are they going to be able to do after they finish purchasing your product or service and also make it super easy for them to buy by pasting in a direct link too 😉
There are a bunch of ways to drive traffic to your site, but your offer has to have clarity in order for people to truly get what you’re selling if you would like some help with that book a cricket 2 sales strategy call with me here

Conquering Your Inner Enemy

It’s that constant inner voice that tells you that can’t,  laughs at you for trying and then like a playground bully with issues bigger than vogue does it all over again ?

 

[bctt tweet=” “If you fear failure, you will never go anywhere.”” username=”confidentsch”]

 

Do you often fight against yourself before you take the leap to do something? It is like playing basketball against yourself like these really cute Racoons ??? sidenote: I like Racoons

Our own inside enemy doesn’t show up that cute. They are instead masked in doubt, fear of failure and procrastination. If there is no enemy inside then there is no enemy outside that can do us harm – Les Brown

 

 

 

So how do we overcome our inner enemies, well we can conquer them ? #storytime

It is like the story of David & Goliath. By all odds, David was small in comparison to Goliath who was often described as being built as big as a house.

However… Goliath couldn’t see very well – Specsavers wasn’t available back in the day ?

Goliath wasn’t powerful – he took his perception of what people thought he could do for granted, he never trained, he never took the time to up his game.

David was deadly – he didn’t just rock next to Goliath with a sling he never used, he honed his craft years before.

David knew an opportunity was coming one day so he prepared for it, no matter how awkward he looked. ?

[bctt tweet=”Success is where opportunity and preparation meet ?” username=”confidentsch”]

So how do you know it is  your inner enemy talking and how do you beat it:

  • Action overcomes doubt!
  • Compassion overcomes anger!
  • Positive self-talk overcomes negative self-talk

What about if you feel awkward still? What makes you feel “awkward” in one season makes you powerful in the next! ✊✌️ Whether you are fighting Racoons or Goliaths, remember If there is no enemy inside then there is no enemy outside that can do you harm!

Every story teaches us a lesson, gives us insight about ourselves. Which gives us the choice to use that information to reduce frustration and alleviate our expectations about life.

3 Ways To Find Your Gift

0

I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you’re a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation. Joel Osteen

Inspiring words right? Only if you believe them.

Here is the thing.

Many of us don’t really know our gifts and talents

And when we do know, we don’t necessarily know what to do with them

So let’s try to solve at least one of these issues now

Ways to find your gifts:

The very logical way is to find your gift is to yourself…

1. What is the one common theme that is repetitive in your life?

2. What would 5 people say about you that makes you unique?

3. What comes easy to you? What do you love to talk about?

 

Problem with the above method is I don’t have five people I personally want to ask to validate me (strong word I know) as more than likely I won’t believe them…

 

The funner way (yes I know funner is not a word) to find your gift…

  1. Try everything (please keep it legal lol)
  2. Reflect and find out what you liked about it
  3. Do it as often as humanly possible AKA develop it, make it a habit of excellence

The third (and not for everyone) way to find your gift

Close your eyes

Imagine you have just landed in airport security

Exiting the airport

The clerk asks: business or pleasure

You reply both

What does both look like? Write it down (the first thought)

Then develop whatever came up

Is that it?

Erm pretty much. If you want three ways to know why you are unique check out my post on point of difference

7 Figure Blocks – How To Overcome The Boredom of Consistency

Often we go so far ahead of our plan of action then we completely miss the goal we were supposed to be aiming for. ?

Sometimes we are two steps away to making bank AKA cash but we give up because we become disheartened. ?

There is no difference in making five figures, six figures or seven, you just have to follow the same process that made you successful. And that is where we ALL can hit a snag,

Because consistency is being marketed to you as something boring, rigid.  But it doesn’t have to be…

You’re the creator. You can choose to make the art of relationship building AKA serving as fun or boring as you want.

Whenever one of my teenagers come up to me and say I am bored. I ask are you bored or boring? This really challenges their thinking (as a parent I believe this is my jobs). Because this world is full of creative abundance, a never-ending stream of things to do and ways to do it.

So how can you ever be bored? How can you be bored you get to consistently create?

So let’s get back in and focus on the question at hand…is your big goal stopping the milestone?  If you think as money as a tool which helps you to serve more people at a consistent level then the answer is no.

However, if there is a block in the flow of this happening for you then try this…

 Self Interrogative questioning:
Questions like…
Will I get an abundance of clients?
Will I hit 7 figures?

This interrogative questioning will make your mind look for the answers so you are more action orientated.Also, here are some other questions that may help:

? How many clients do I need to serve in order to hit MY weekly, monthly target?
?  Which key activities bring ME a return on MY time?
There are loads of ways to overcome the block that is stopping the flow of money. I hope those tiny little snippets helped. Make bank by concentrating on cash creation ideas and take action. You know where we are if you need us ?  (We have a FREE 1k challenge coming up if you do btw) ?
