Speaker:
00:00:50
everybody, welcome to today's episode, I am so thrilled that
Speaker:
00:00:53
you're here. In today's episode, I want to talk about trusting
Speaker:
00:00:57
your intuition. So often, if you are in a situation and something
Speaker:
00:01:02
doesn't feel right, it's because something isn't right. I was
Speaker:
00:01:08
working with a client the other day and she was struggling
Speaker:
00:01:11
because she was working with a different agency. And she just
Speaker:
00:01:17
had this feeling that her cores her program, her launch, other
Speaker:
00:01:23
things weren't actually going to happen the way that she wanted
Speaker:
00:01:29
them to happen. She just had this feeling that they either
Speaker:
00:01:33
didn't know what they were doing, they didn't have it all
Speaker:
00:01:37
together, or they didn't actually do the work that she
Speaker:
00:01:40
had paid them to do. And that was what her gut was screaming
Speaker:
00:01:44
at her about. And she said, Well, I'm going to trust the
Speaker:
00:01:48
process, I'm gonna trust that these people know what they're
Speaker:
00:01:50
talking about. Because otherwise they wouldn't be out selling
Speaker:
00:01:53
their products. And so she trusted the process instead of
Speaker:
00:02:00
her gut. And you know, lo and behold, three months later,
Speaker:
00:02:03
right, as she's ready to launch, she realizes that there's
Speaker:
00:02:08
nothing there. They haven't created anything that they've
Speaker:
00:02:11
promised. They haven't done the activities that were required to
Speaker:
00:02:18
make sure the launch happened. And she just said, you know, in
Speaker:
00:02:22
hindsight, I just had this feeling. And so my friends, I
Speaker:
00:02:27
want to tell you, if you have that feeling, if there's just
Speaker:
00:02:30
something that doesn't feel right, then make sure that you
Speaker:
00:02:36
listen to your gut, you act on it, and that you use it as part
Speaker:
00:02:40
of your decision making process as you're running your business.
Speaker:
00:02:44
Because here's the reality is that most of the time, if you're
Speaker:
00:02:48
getting that feeling, it's actually legit, right? It's not
Speaker:
00:02:52
just worrying, or having anxiety or whatever else, right? It's
Speaker:
00:02:56
really, there just is something that doesn't feel right. So
Speaker:
00:03:01
here's the thing, let me give you some tactical advice around
Speaker:
00:03:05
this. Because I think there's the feeling and trusting the
Speaker:
00:03:08
feeling and knowing that you need to dig in and maybe get
Speaker:
00:03:10
some additional details. And then there's the how do you make
Speaker:
00:03:14
the right decisions. So you don't get in a position where
Speaker:
00:03:20
you're not sure whether or not things are working, or things
Speaker:
00:03:24
are not working or what's happening. And the very first
Speaker:
00:03:27
advice, piece of advice I can give you is make sure that
Speaker:
00:03:30
there's a plan. Anyone who says, hey, it's a you know, this many
Speaker:
00:03:35
step process. And, you know, let's do a kickoff call. And
Speaker:
00:03:39
then we're going to go off, and we're going to do our thing, and
Speaker:
00:03:41
then we'll come back when we're done. Those people do not have a
Speaker:
00:03:44
solid process for how they do their work. So if somebody comes
Speaker:
00:03:48
to you, you're working with them. And there's not a project
Speaker:
00:03:52
plan. There's not an overall strategy, where they're asking
Speaker:
00:03:56
you lots of questions upfront to find out your goals, your needs,
Speaker:
00:04:01
and the different things that you're trying to accomplish, and
Speaker:
00:04:05
then creating a plan around those, then that is a really
Speaker:
00:04:08
good indication that you're going to run into some problems.
Speaker:
00:04:11
Because what you don't want to do is hire an agency who's just
Speaker:
00:04:15
sort of either winging it, or they haven't figured out process
Speaker:
00:04:19
yet. And so they don't have enough experience to be able to
Speaker:
00:04:21
tell you step by step exactly what's going to happen. And I
Speaker:
00:04:26
don't know about you, but I want to work with experts who have
Speaker:
00:04:29
their systems, their process, and the various ways that they
Speaker:
00:04:34
work with people dialed in. And so if you are paying a service
Speaker:
00:04:39
provider, you're paying an agency or even just a
Speaker:
00:04:42
consultant, you need to ask the right questions, and make sure
Speaker:
00:04:46
that you're asking them from a big picture standpoint.
Speaker:
00:04:50
So if you're asking questions, and they're either not answering
Speaker:
00:04:53
you or they're giving you sort of a vague answer that you don't
Speaker:
00:04:57
understand, then again more sort of fodder for the fact that
Speaker:
00:05:04
maybe they're not exactly sure what they're doing. And they
Speaker:
00:05:07
don't have a repeatable process that they help their customers
Speaker:
00:05:10
with. So hopefully, you can take this episode and just think
Speaker:
00:05:15
like, we're in your life in your business relationships and
Speaker:
00:05:21
whatever else is there sort of that gut check that needs to
Speaker:
00:05:26
happen? Where you need to make sure that somebody that you're
Speaker:
00:05:31
working with actually is doing what they say they're doing? And
Speaker:
00:05:35
when somebody says, Just trust me, are they trusting or use?
Speaker:
00:05:39
Are they saying, trust me with a actionable plan laid out? Are
Speaker:
00:05:44
they saying trust me, and then they're gonna go off and do
Speaker:
00:05:47
something and you don't know exactly what it is? That their
Speaker:
00:05:50
process is? Those are, you know, indications that maybe your gut
Speaker:
00:05:55
is right, that something is not right. And make sure that you
Speaker:
00:05:59
trust that, then are you asking the right questions, right, so
Speaker:
00:06:03
trust your gut. Then second is, are you asking the right
Speaker:
00:06:07
questions? Do you know what questions to ask if you don't
Speaker:
00:06:09
know what questions to ask, you need to find an expert who can
Speaker:
00:06:13
help you with the big picture. So you can ask the right
Speaker:
00:06:16
questions. When we do our VIP course, launch days, we
Speaker:
00:06:22
literally map out the full process from the sales and
Speaker:
00:06:27
marketing automation to the course and fulfillment,
Speaker:
00:06:29
automation and beyond. So you are able to ask the right
Speaker:
00:06:35
questions, you're able to see what the full process is and ask
Speaker:
00:06:38
the questions of people. So somebody says, Yeah, sure, I can
Speaker:
00:06:41
do that. It'll be this many hours and and in this much
Speaker:
00:06:46
money. Are you both on the same page? Are you speaking apples to
Speaker:
00:06:51
apples? Or are you assuming that they're going to do everything
Speaker:
00:06:55
top to bottom, and they're assuming they're just going to
Speaker:
00:06:57
do one little piece, right, make sure that you have that big
Speaker:
00:07:01
picture and that you know, what your playbook is, what your game
Speaker:
00:07:04
plan is before you go and find somebody to implement. And
Speaker:
00:07:08
again, all of those things will help you as you're navigating
Speaker:
00:07:11
through this whole process of putting your business online, or
Speaker:
00:07:16
whatever it is that you're trying to accomplish. So first,
Speaker:
00:07:19
trust your gut. Second, make sure that you have a big overall
Speaker:
00:07:23
plan, where you know how the big picture looks. So you can find
Speaker:
00:07:29
the right people to execute on the big picture. But don't just
Speaker:
00:07:33
hire executors without having that that overall playbook, that
Speaker:
00:07:38
overall game plan for how you can move forward. One, one does
Speaker:
00:07:43
not come before the other right. So you have to have the
Speaker:
00:07:48
strategy, the big picture, and then you can put the right
Speaker:
00:07:52
pieces into play. So you can build your online program, your
Speaker:
00:07:58
online business or whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.
Speaker:
00:08:01
Alright, there you go. That is my course building tip for you
