Today we’re covering another incredible Q&A episode. We answer how to identify friendships you want to invest in, what to do when people don’t support your dreams, pricing guides vs. consult calls, what inspires us to keep going after mess ups or failure, how to overcome crippling fear in business, and how to increase Instagram story views.
We have a wide variety of today’s questions and we’re excited to dive in. Get ready for some powerful, helpful, and tangible tools for your life and business. We pray this episode impacts not only your work but also your heart. After all, this is the heart and hustle podcast where we love mixing business strategies with some good life heart-to-heart talk.
What values do you admire? Start paying attention to the character of people you look up to or want to be friends with. What about them makes you attracted to them in a friendly way? Then start putting yourself out there. To make the kind of friends you wish to have you need to BE that kind of friend to others. You will naturally start attracting like-minded friends when you are living out the values important to you.
Core values, and character, there is a spark when the Lord has a friendship for you. Be sensitive to that and pursue it.
Recognize and acknowledge the people in your life who fall into this category. Don’t give them access to speak into that area of your life. This doesn’t mean you cut them off. It just means you put up a boundary to that area of your life.
Seek out friends and friendships who understand your dreams and goals and will come alongside you to support that. That can be way easier said than done and it’ll likely take some time and work, but it IS doable.
Ideas:
Listen to God’s voice above any others. No one else should have the authority to speak into your dreams the way He does. And His words are always true and good. So listen to Him, especially if you’re still hearing noise from people around you who don’t support those dreams.
Pricing Guides should NEVER replace client calls in our opinion. This is more for service-based providers and you should never replace a pricing guide for a consult call.
Pricing guides give TONS of information upfront and should answer 90% of the questions your customer might have and create an initial connection between you.
The call should be ALL about solidifying that connection. Answer remaining questions, get to know your customer, let them get to know you, discuss the next steps even more in detail.
The pricing guide should go out first along with the initial email that creates that first spark of connection. The customer call should be throwing gas on that spark and then answering whatever remaining questions or details. The two work beautifully together! It is not either-or, or even better than, it is both.
Friends. The Bible. Music. The Beach. Mountain. Travel. Significant Other. Good food. A good cry. A good book or movie.
Knowing our worth in the Lord and who He says we are. Knowing what he’s created us for. Knowing that failure isn’t bad, but it’s a part of life. Disappointment is normal and that’s okay.
What are you afraid of? What makes you anxious? What about going even part-time terrifies you? Dig down to the core because anxiety and self-doubt are a symptom of a root issue. Do you think you’re not enough? Are you afraid of failure? If the answer is yes, ask yourself why?
Unpacking those fears and anxieties. Why do you believe you’re not enough? Why are you afraid of failure? Did someone in your childhood make you believe that? Or are you afraid of success? Pay attention to what those root causes are, then you can attack them.
Honest advice? Run to the Lord. Read His word. Read what He says about you. If you don’t have a relationship with the Lord, we invite you to just start reading the Bible and watch Him speak to your life.
Having a relationship with Jesus doesn’t mean you’ll never struggle again with fear, anxiety, or not feeling qualified, but it DOES mean you will ALWAYS have a solution when you do feel those things.
Verses:
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
God did not create you to be held in bondage of fear, anxiety, or self-doubt. He created you for GOOD works. He created you to glorify Him and live in abundance while doing it. He created you to be a world-changer and when you let those negative self-doubting thoughts and negative words creep into your mind, you’re letting the enemy win power over you. With the power of the Lord stand firm against the enemy. Speak scripture over yourself when you start feeling anxious. Pray to Jesus when you’re afraid or when you’re nervous about the unknowns in life. Ask him for peace. Ask him for directions. Ask him to bring people into your life to speak LIFE into you.
