SN 129. Why “Help Me Hit My Goal” Posts Are Hurting Your Business (Do This Instead)
In this episode, I give you an alternative to asking your friends and family to help you reach your goals.
It's the next installment of the Stop Doing That—Do This Instead series, and the "do this instead" is something all direct sellers should do.
Telling people you've been challenged or that you have a big goal will get you results because even bad practices work if you do them often enough, but the cost is bigger than the rewards, especially in the long run.
In this episode, I explain:
- How doing this unintentionally damages your credibility, reputation, and referrals.
- How it prevents you from learning and using best practices.
- Why it’s not sustainable and won’t work outside of your warm market.
- How to tell people you have a big goal without asking them to help you achieve it.
Then I walk you through the alternative to doing this, which is having a 90-day plan for your business.
A 90-day plan will:
- Help you feel more in control of your business and your results.
- Allow you to prioritize your personal life so you never feel like you’re missing out.
- Help you earn incentives and reach your goals, even in the busiest seasons of your personal life.
- Reduce your business stress and overwhelm.
- Prevent you from feeling like you have to work all the time.
All direct sellers—from the part-timer to the advanced leader—should be doing a 90-day plan, and that’s why I’m including a workshop for it in The Side Gig Society.
If you’re a member of The Side Gig Society, I will help you create a 90-day plan that is personalized to align with your business goals and your lifestyle. If you’re not a member of The Side Gig Society, join us so that you can get the support you need to build the business you love.
