CONTROVERSIAL

CONTROVERSIAL....

Is it just me?  Since we are on a business networking site.....

... And there are millions of us on here, wouldnt you rather people just got straight to the point?  I mean , I cant get through to everyones services so its nice just for someone to say, I have this, are you interested.  Its not a big deal. yes or no. Yes its nice that if they read your profile - like one guy today said he "loved to connect with like minded people" and then said , "What do you do?" All in the same sentence . I was crying laughing. Like its all over my profile matey 

If someone comes on here and just asks me a general question, its like I am in business mode - how can I help you, If I wanted to chat, I would do that on facebook.  Linked in is our shop front, so if you are walking past, I will invite you in, if you look like someone I would love to do business with and find out more about you to see if its a good fit. And i have to find out about you to do that, so its always two way . I want to know your challenges. I want to know your goals, but without clarity of direction, we have disorder. I bring order to you with a clear intention.

Why do we accept paid for adverts but not simple requests from genuine people looking to help us with their service? Use it as a chance to learn about yourself and what you are attracting. You are the sum total of your thoughts. Dont blame the external person. Its actually not about them. Its about your reaction. Look at why you feel the need to react negatively. Where else do you judge? You are never judging others. You are judging yourself. And I was my harshest critic ever.

I like to be upfront and personal.  And i dont want to be wasting anyones time. I want to help as many people as possible and the only way i can serve you is to be direct.  If its not what you want, then just ignore or say no thanks. It all starts with selling - its what makes the world go round. We are selling and being sold to all the time. Even selling to our children that what we say is right. To our partners or prospective partners, that we are the best person to be with. Dont shy away from selling. Be proud.

And you know, I have made some great friends on here and guess what, they havent bought my service! It just started that way, then we chatted and we found out common interests and more about eachother. My daughter even went to Canada this year for 6 months to spend time on a ranch with the lovely Doris. I have put others in touch with people who have given them great business etc etc.

So to me, by getting straight to the point, we are cutting out the crap - you might be interested, hop on a call and say no but at least its an informed choice. And heres the thing, we might just get along and I know more about you in the process so know how to help you even if you dont buy my service. I know my tribe will respond well, and those who are not my tribe, wont. I cannot please everyone and have only the intention of helping the people who want and need what I have to offer. How do you know if you dont know. Your paradigms keep you locked into tunnel vision. You will know your truth when you see it.

I also want to make it clear that I love requests for help and advice. I am here to serve and will always respond to genuine requests for advice. I will also just offer that randomly as well and it is not to "get" business as that is trading. I know that the Universe provides, and I just keep sowing the seeds. There was a man a long time ago once said, to be out every day sowing what you have to offer (seeds) and some will land on fertile ground, some on stoney ground, and some the birds will eat and fly off!! He also said there is a season for sowing and a season for reaping, and you cant do both at the same time.

Does that make sense? No clue. But #justsaying
