Hey everybody, it's Tara Bryan and you are listening to the
2
:Course Building Secrets Podcast.
3
:Whether you're a coach or a CEO,
the success of your team and clients
4
:is based on your ability to deliver
a consistent experience and guide
5
:them on the fastest path to results.
6
:This podcast will give you practical
real life tips that you can use today
7
:to build your online experiences that
get results and create raving fans.
8
:Why?
9
:So you can monetize your expertise
and serve more people without adding
10
:more time or team to your business.
11
:If you're looking to uncover your million
dollar framework, package it and use
12
:it to scale, you're in the right place.
13
:Let's dive in.
14
:Alright, everybody.
15
:In this episode, we're going to dive into
one of the biggest mindset challenges
16
:that I get all of the time with people
who are starting to get into this game.
17
:And I just got the question the
other day, so I know that it's still
18
:something that's on people's minds.
19
:I know that I've recorded this before,
but it, it needs to be repeated.
20
:So, the question is, why would somebody
buy my thing, when you could go out and
21
:go to Google, and go to YouTube, and
watch all the videos, and do all the
22
:things, and implement on my own without
actually going into somebody's program.
23
:All right, so I'm going
to break it down for you.
24
:First of all, yes, you can go to
YouTube, you could go to the Google,
25
:and you could type all the things in,
and you could hunt and peck your way
26
:through setting up or learning or doing
whatever it is that you want to do to
27
:go from the problem that you have to
the solution that you're looking for.
28
:But my question is, is like, if you
could do that and it was super easy,
29
:why wouldn't you do it already?
30
:Right?
31
:Like, Most of the time when you're helping
your customers and they have that question
32
:for you, you're like, there's a reason
why you haven't just gone and done that
33
:and solved that problem for yourself.
34
:So that's the first thing.
35
:The second thing is, is like,
here's the problem with that.
36
:You're going to spend a ton of time and
effort going in and trying to learn all
37
:the things without knowing the path or the
map that's going to get you there, right?
38
:So if you think about, like, if you're
going from California to New York, you are
39
:not going to just, like, jump in your car
and you know, Start driving there, right?
40
:You don't know the steps, you don't
know the, the, you know, places that you
41
:need to stop, where there's hotels or
coffee or whatever it is that you need.
42
:You are going to consult Google
Maps or whatever mapping software
43
:you use to get you the fastest path
to go from one point to the other.
44
:And that's what a coach or you know,
somebody who has a solution for you
45
:is that based on their experience and
their ability to help other people get
46
:from point A to point B, they've put
a path together, or hopefully they've
47
:put a path together, that allows you
to get there faster than you can get
48
:there by going out and, you know,
doing all the things because here's
49
:the other thing is like there's a
strategy and then there's the tactics.
50
:A lot of times people try and implement
the tactics without a strategy.
51
:And so you end up with yes, some
things that are done, but again,
52
:they're not done in the right order.
53
:They're not necessarily
done with strategic intent.
54
:They're just sort of like you know, put
out there and so you waste a lot of time.
55
:You waste actually more time and
money by just going out and trying
56
:to figure it out on your own.
57
:However, I encourage all of my people
who ask me that question, like go try it.
58
:Go out on your own and see whether
or not you are going to implement
59
:faster, whether or not you have the
bigger picture that helps you go from,
60
:from you know, one end to the other.
61
:And and then what's going to happen if
you run into challenges, if you have
62
:questions, if you're not exactly sure
how something works, then that is another
63
:reason why when you're creating a curated,
curated experience for your people, that's
64
:what you're thinking through, right?
65
:Like, what is the fastest
path I can give them?
66
:What is the easiest and most
direct way that I can help
67
:support them as they're going?
68
:One of the biggest problems I'm going to
tell you with just going and trying to
69
:figure it out on your own, which again
is entirely possible, but one of the
70
:biggest problems is we get so distracted.
71
:Did you know that literally
we have less of an attention
72
:span right now than Goldfish.
73
:Yeah, you're like, ooh, that one
looks interesting, or, or, ooh, I
74
:should implement this random thing,
or, oh, this would be super cool, and
75
:you lose sight of the overall plan.
76
:And so a lot of times it will take you
way longer to implement, way longer
77
:to launch, way longer to do whatever
it is that you're trying to do,
78
:because you're kind of going through
the ins and the outs and the dead
79
:ends and all of the different things.
80
:And so when you're a coach, when
you are you know, helping people you
81
:know, business owner, whomever, right?
82
:Like you're helping somebody
get from point A to point B.
83
:They're hiring you because you have
the experience to help guide them
84
:down the path as quickly as possible.
85
:So that's what I always tell people is
that there is so much value to people
86
:to get the fast path to get the the help
and support the templates the different
87
:things that you're giving them as they
are experiencing how to get from point a
88
:to point b because the reality is again
if they could get there on their own
89
:they would have been there by now and so
they need that help you need that help
90
:to have someone else, a trusted mentor,
a trusted advisor, somebody who can help
91
:you because sometimes you don't even know
the questions to ask that you need to be
92
:asking to get to where you want to go.
93
:And that is when you are able to show
up as a trusted advisor and guide for
94
:your customers, you will help them
not only get it done, but to thrive
95
:and be able to go to the next level.
96
:So I love that question
because it's true, right?
97
:And, and there are a lot of
programs or trainings or YouTube
98
:videos or all of the things.
99
:And there's a ton of content out there
so you don't know exactly, you know,
100
:which one is the right one, right?
101
:And what a lot of people do is they'll
take some stuff from this person
102
:and some stuff from this person
and some stuff from this person.
103
:And then they get conflicting
advice, and so they start
104
:kind of going back and forth.
105
:And so that's why it's, it is, if you
can create a curated experience for
106
:people that really is driven by the
problem that they have and the result
107
:that they're looking for, and you're
able to give them a clear, personalized
108
:path that helps them actually get to
where they want to go without all of the
109
:starts and the stops and the the roller
coaster ride and all of the things.
110
:That is worth all of the effort
that it takes for an expense that
111
:it takes for somebody to to want
to be a part of somebody's program.
112
:So there you go.
113
:That that is the answer that
I have to that question.
