Hey there !
Playing it safe all the time is a LOT of work.
It's seems like it should be easier. Safe is supposed to be easy.
But it's not.
It's exhausting to try to be both just enough and not too much ALL the time.
You put yourself out there...just enough to be visible, but not enough to make anyone upset.
You 'give value'...just enough so people know you're good, but not so much that you're giving away the farm.
You focus on your ideal client...just enough to know who you want to work with, but not so much that you would tell anyone who came along and wanted to pay 'no'.
Walking this line between pushing just enough - but not too much - takes a LOT of effort.
And you know what?
It's NOT helping.
It's why you don't have the kind of success you dream of.
Playing it safe is a lot of work - but it doesn't actually create a lot of progress.
Instead, it keeps you right where you are.
Treading water. Safely the same.
Aren't you tired of trying to find the right balance? Of being safely the same?
What if you decided you could be too much?
Or you could just give so much people's heads will spin?
What if you made someone mad?
And what if, in doing that, you grew a TON?
Would it be worth it?
I think so...
If you're ready to play it a little LESS safe, I've got ALL kinds of good stuff for you this month.
- Join in the Teachers in Business #ThoughtChallenge. It's every day this month, and all about learning to THINK like a successful business owner (and then do the less safe things that open up as a result!)
- The Teachers in Business podcast is FULL of truly useful bits of golden goodness. This week it's about THINKING your way to success (are you sensing a theme...??:)). It's worth the 18 minutes it will take you to listen.
- On 3/12, the Teachers Business Lunch and Learn FREE workshop is called Ditching "I'm behind" and Other Unhelpful Thoughts about Time FOREVER. Really, wouldn't it be nice to never think "I'm behind." again? The link will be in your email next week :)
- On 3/15 in the TiB FB group I'm doing a free live training called 'How to Embrace Feelings in Business (and not die)'. I'm going to teach you 3 simple strategies for EMBRACING feelings in your business - for using them as FUEL rather than a reason to stop, wait, or do anything that isn't become WILDLY successful.
And these are just the things on the calendar right now... did I mention there will also be #giveaways coming in TiB?? (but you've got to be in the group to hear about them...).
This month is ALL about fun - and NOT about being just enough (or not too much).
Decide it's time to stop playing it safe (and spending SO much energy playing it safe...) and join the party.
Much love,
Sara

PS. If you are REALLY ready to stop spending all your energy on the impossible-to-strike balance that is playing it safe and spend it on GROWING, it's time to talk about coaching together.
I would LOVE to spend an hour talking with you about how being a little too much. giving more value than seems sane, and making someone else FEEL something about your work (even if it's mad...) could change EVERYTHING in your business.
Really, less safe = MORE success.
If you are ready for THIS book a 1:1 conversation about coaching here.
