How Personal Life Relationships Affect Your Biz & Your Bag
The single most important insight I had when examining my sales & marketing metrics for 2023 was this:
The biggest difference between my highest and lowest cash months was who I was investing in emotionally.
Who I was looking to for support, for encouragement, to vent, to get a second opinion. Who I spent the most time with. Who I let have access to my energy.
Who Was There When Sales Were High
When the people closest to me were:
๐ผ Supportive & encouraging
๐ผ Aligned with my values
๐ผ Emotionally healthy
๐ผ Had a positive outlook
๐ผ Not intimidated, jealous, or threatened by my gifts and success
๐ผ Were actively working toward their own dreams
๐ผ Believed in their OWN talents, purpose, & potential
I made BANK and had fun doing it. My productivity was off the charts because I was loving my work that much.
Who Was There When Sales Were Low
When the people closest to me were:
๐ Catastrophizing
๐ Not aligned with my values
๐ Emotionally unhealthy & were only looking for external solutions to feel better
๐ Glass-half-empty
๐ Threatened by or even actively trying to sabotage my success
๐ Had not found their own purpose or calling and felt envious of mine
๐ Hadnโt done the work to build their own confidence in themselves and their belief in their dreams
My sales tanked. All my energy went to trying to manage these toxic dynamics. I was late on projects. I half-assed my launches.
