Managing your expectations is a skill

Hello Lovely New Coach & Consultant,


How are you doing?


In the last newsletter I talked about selling with integrity. Today I want to share with you something that you don't hear about the entrepreneurship journey that you need to learn.


There is lots of content about how to put in place what I'll call the "mechanics" of building a business. What there isn't so much of is the about the thinking and the emotional intelligence that you need to employ as a new coach or a consultant.


What are they missing? They are missing that "practising patience" is something that needs to be learnt and fully understand.


You need need the following 4 things to be in place so that you can practise patience effectively:


You need to be emotionally able to wait and manage your expectations about when your desire will come into fruition - You may need to practice mindfulness, breathing techniques, positive affirmations and occasionally take a moment to scream and vent your frustrations!

You need to believe that having patience will truly serve you - You may need to give your goal a different timeline, you may need to understand that the prospect isn't ready and that you will need to spend more time developing your relationship with them.

You need to believe that you are the prize! - What I mean by this is that what you have to offer is valuable and not everyone will understand or be ready to receive the prize. #intentionalrepeat!

You need to have the right alignment, beliefs, mindset and approach to undertake the sales process and journey. As well as the understanding that a rejection of your product or service isn't a rejection of you as person or have any bearing on your worth. (You're priceless!)#intentionalrepeat!


And a final word on patience. Reflect on where you in your journey on this ask yourself these 3 questions:


  1. How patient am I currently and do I leap to judgement and not understanding or curiosity?
  2. What can I do to change my automatic response to my impatience?
  3. How can I be compassionate with myself as I learn to become more patient?
