How to Love Your Results (When You Don't)

An excerpt from my 7 days of love your marketing posts on Linkedin and instagram.

Here's a doozy: How do you love your results in business or private practice, when you don't love the results?

How's that for a mind bender?

Let's get into it!

I encourage my clients to embrace all the results.

The good, the bad and the meh results.

All of it.

Why?

All three give me, their coach, something to work with.

When they aren't creating any results (the good, the bad or the meh) they're stuck in the theory of their business. 

(Like the difference between talking about basketball vs. playing basketball.)

Been there!

As much as possible, I want to normalize that some things work, some don't, and that's a-okay, let's do more of what does work.

Some clients get wiz-bang amazing results from the get-go.

We call that a freakin' miracle.

For the rest of us, here's how it goes...

1) Bring me your wins.

That's the easy and fun part and we'll build on that. 

2) Bring me your fails.

Before I learned the entrepreneurial mindset, I used to make failures mean I was a failure and not cut out for having a small business or private practice.

Turns out, it's actually HOW WE FIGURE OUT what will work for you.

3) Bring me your "meh" results.

This provides SO MUCH good info to work with. I love it.

Now, if you aren't creating any of these types of results (aka just talking about your business, not doing or just going through the motions), then you have little to work with.

So how do you pull this off in a Happy Little Practice?

We have this ultra-fancy philosophy.

Ready for it?

Learn and do.

Okay, so maybe not very fancy. Ha!

The learning is easy. EVERYBODY loves that part. 

Here's how we do the doing part:

We laugh at ourselves, sometimes have a good cry, do things wildly imperfectly, do our (mostly) daily mindset practice and then learn and do again.

NOT learn, learn and learn. (Thanks to Stu McLaren for this bit of wisdom!)

Yes, this takes courage and calm, but that's way more fun and effective than staying in your head.

This is much easier when you receive regular feedback on what you're doing and how you're being in business because your partner/spouse/friends can only do so much of this.

This is where I've got you covered.

Join the Happy Little Practice Club.

Or reach out privately if you're more of an all-private kind of pro, here. 

This short missive is the 7th in a "7 days of loving your marketing" series of posts I shared via LinkedIn and IG, if you want to read all of them.

And they surely all come with a free typo or two that I missed. 


Hope this was helpful,
