You want a thriving business with lots of time with family and a rich relationship with God -
- But the reality is, Exit Thoughts lead to NONE of those things.
🚗📍⚠️ If you don’t know what an Exit Thought is, go back and read the past few posts. In short, it’s a thought that takes you further from your ultimate destination - your business goal.
I’ll show you what they DO lead to…
In the last post, you identified your Exit Thoughts by answering 3 simple questions:
❓What is your business goal for July?
❓Be HONEST: On a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you that you’ll hit your goal?
❓What is EVERY reason your brain gave you as to why you couldn’t be 10/10 confident?
You all shared some great examples of Exit Thoughts:
➡️ I’m not good at marketing
➡️ There is too much competition in my niche
➡️ I don’t have enough time to get everything done
➡️ People aren’t spending money because of COVID
➡️ I don’t want to be salesy
➡️ I’m not organized enough
➡️ My goal is unrealistic
➡️ My audience is too small
➡️ It’s not working
If we run any of these through the Model, you’ll quickly see..
These Exit Thoughts will NOT help you create the results you want.
Circumstance: Goal is $10k, bring in 3 clients by end of July
Thought: “That’s not realistic/I’ve never done that before”
Feeling: Demotivated, disappointed, depleted
Action: No action or action from low level energy
Result: 0 new clients
Thought: “I don’t have enough time or energy”
Feeling: Frustrated, annoyed, stressed, overwhelmed
Action: Hustle and grind through OR self care while feeling guilty for not hustling
Result: 0 clients in the short term, burn out in the long term
Thought: “The well has run dry, nobody else wants to hire me”
Feeling: Sad, apathetic, annoyed, frustrated
Action: Hide in marketing, show up sometimes OR grind from a place of fear
Result: 0 new clients
Next time, I’ll help you figure out the HIGHWAY thoughts - unique to you - that you want to operate from so you can move towards your goal as quickly as possible.
