How to make $25k, $50k, and $100k+ months on repeat
Scaling a business looks different when you’re going from 6 to 7 figures. Sure, you can scale a 6-figure business with hustle – in fact, that’s how most entrepreneurs do it. But once you reach somewhere between 100K – 400K in your business, you hit a wall. You run out of time and energy to grow that revenue. That’s when you need to change your scaling model so it aligns with the life you truly want to live.
There’s something very interesting that happens when we start anything new. With any new program or project, our brains immediately judge the idea and decide whether to move forward. Often, our brains decide it’s too hard. In this episode, I share with you how to figure out what will feel easy, fun, light and inspired so you can move forward.
What’s feeling hard to you right now? Maybe you’re like the clients I work with every day who find it hard to make pivots in their businesses, manage their teams, or sell their programs. I want you to think of the thing that you’re putting off and spending countless hours on, letting it drag on way longer than necessary – or the thing that you’re dreading.
Do you have something in mind? Now, what if it were easy? Because it gets to be easy! In fact, it is easy- it’s your brain that is making it harder than it needs to be.
A client of mine recently told me how easily she can book clients into her program, but a week later she came back and told me how hard it was to sell that same program. It’s funny how she had a change of heart, so I reminded her and we talked about how it could feel easy. Because truthfully, it’s just all in her head.
She wanted to change the program she was promoting, but I saw a thought pattern. I predicted that if she switched gears, she would get excited again in the short-term, and then as soon as things weren’t going perfectly – she’d decide it was hard again.
Again, it gets to be easy. It’s your choice to make it hard or to make it easy. When it starts to feel hard, ask yourself, “What if this were easy?” Then start moving forward! Don’t hold yourself back from taking any action because you feel it’s too hard. It doesn’t mean it will always be easy. Of course, there will be discomfort and struggle sometimes, but you need to push through.
Stop overcomplicating things and start having some fun! Choose easy. Go ahead, take action and get it done. Keep in mind, it gets to be easy.
There's something very interesting that happens when we start anything new. When an idea strikes for a new business or a new program or any new project, our brains immediately judge the idea and decide whether to move forward.
Often in this moment, we either deem the task too hard and don't even start or perhaps on the high of excitement and possibly not knowing what we don't yet know, we decide to go for it, only later to think that this is too hard. What's feeling hard for you right now? Every day, my clients come to me for support on the things that feel hard to them. This week alone, I've heard one client doubt that she could work with her dream clients because it would be too hard to pivot.
Another felt like managing team members is just too hard, another that selling one specific program is too hard, and another that creating systems is too hard. And I could give so many more examples. I want you to think of that thing for you right now, the thing that feels impossible, the thing that you're putting off, the thing that you've spent countless hours on, letting it drag on way longer the necessary, the thing that you're dreading.
Do you have something in mind? Okay, now, what if it were easy? Because it gets to be easy. In fact, it is easy. It's your brain that's making it harder than it needs to be. I was talking to one client recently and she was telling me how easily she could book clients into one of her programs. The very next week after, after promoting the program and getting new sales, she came back wanting to change what she was promoting and talked about how hard it is to sell that specific program. She had forgotten what she said the week before. And when I reminded her, she laughed. And then we talked about how it could feel easy because it was all in her head, and changing the program that she was promoting wouldn't solve the long-term problem.
Maybe short term, she'd get excited again, she'd feel like it was easy, but there was a thought pattern that kept coming up for her. She was stuck in this thought pattern, and in a matter of days, it was likely that she would very well come to me again saying that the new program she was promoting was too hard to sell. You see, when we have that mindset of things being too hard, we continually come back to it. And we can change external circumstances thinking that's going to solve the problem, and it doesn't. But again, it gets to be easy. It's your choice to make it hard or to make it easy. So why would you choose hard? Instead, would it feel fun, easy, light, inspired, do that. Do that.
And then when it starts to feel hard, ask yourself, what if this were easy? What would need to be true for this to be easy? If your goal or your big vision feels too hard, ask yourself the same questions and start moving forward. When you tell yourself that something is too hard, often you hold back from taking any action. Instead, figure out what would feel easy and then start moving forward. Stop over complicating things and start having some fun. Yes, business can be so much fun. But it's up to you. You've got to choose easy. Choose to make things feel easy.
Now, that doesn't mean that you always take the easy way out. You're going to have to face the discomfort. You're going to have to struggle sometimes and push through. But if something feels hard and you're not taking any action, ask yourself how that same thing could feel easy. So, keep in mind, it gets to be easy and go do that thing that you want to do that feels really hard today. Go flip the script, make it easy, and get it done.
