Is your business in the ‘real world’?

There comes a point where you have to stop thinking and start doing. You have to take the leap/plunge/chance and go and actually do your Thing.

There’s safety, of course, in keeping yourself in the ‘planning’ stages, obsessing over details that may or may not be important.

It’s going to save you a whole lot of time in your business when you can make quick decisions. You KNOW when you have an opportunity come up if it’s for you and if you want to do it. So just do it NOW! Put the time you save ‘thinking about’ a decision to good use and do your Thing instead.

For me there are 3 stages to ‘selling’. Now, don’t think I am about to launch into a “How to close in 3 easy steps” guide here–so not my Thing when it comes to sales. What I am talking about instead is the 3 stages people (by people, I mean ‘prospects’ if we’re doing sales speak) go through when they are buying.

Or, at least, this is how I see it…

I have a client who when we first starting working together referred to her ‘Thing’ as common sense. And it is. To her!

That’s the beauty of your ‘Thing’ – to you it’s something easy, effortless, makes perfect sense and is just so OBVIOUS. Once you see it and you realise that that is your Thing of course. But because your Thing is right in front of you, you might miss it…

Your Thing is what you just ‘can’t help’ but do

You might DO the same thing as someone else—you might have the same skill or qualification—but everyone’s Thing (with a capital ‘T’) is different.

When you realise that your Act is different to everyone else’s, you have a Monopoly in your marketplace. You become the only person that does what you do the way you do it. Or, put it another way, if people want to come and see YOUR act they have to come and see YOU.

Business is this: sell something for more than it costs you to make. Rinse and Repeat. Make a profit.

But, boy, can we over complicate things (and Things).
