One of the things I hear quite often from people about marketing their practice through a website is something like “I’ll get around to it someday” or “I don’t know when I will get around to it”. I also get emails from people telling me how afraid they are to start their business and they want me to tell them what to do in an email.
When will that be? Will you get around to it? Sometime before you go out of business?
It is hard not to start complaining about not having enough time to do something that is essential to your success. You can either sit around complaining , wishing for clients and crying about not having any clients or you can do something about it. You can either sit around focusing on what you don’t want through all the complaining or you can start thinking about what it is that you do want and start wondering how you are going to get it.
If you are afraid to start your massage business and if you think you won’t be able to do it and be successful – you probably won’t do it and you won’t be successful. Whatever you think is what you will get.
If you get feedback from someone like a partner saying we need to face reality – what is reality exactly? There is no reality really- only people’s perspectives which are based on beliefs. Two people can look at the same thing and see different things. It is the old is the cup half empty or half full view of the world.
One of the ways to face the challenge of different perspectives is to say “thank you for your feedback” and continue on your way. Oprah had a show on yesterday on just this topic. There was a woman who is a songwriter who is the most successful songwriter of all time who was told by her mother at an early age that she should get a job as a secretary. Another guy loved making pottery and was told by his college teacher that he didn’t have any talent for it and couldn’t make a career out of pottery and of course today he is very successful.
Who is out there crushing your dreams with their perspective?
Joining others who have similar challenges as you are facing is one way to help yourself out. I have an online discussion group and there are also many others out there and you can also create your own or gather your friends from massage school to form your own.
So if you are ready to start your website and start taking a look at what you do and what you want to say to your potential clients and clients -today is the day to order your Sitebuildit! website. I have to warn you though – it isn’t for everyone. It is only for people who are serious about building their business and are serious about taking a good look at themselves. It isn’t easy and it doesn’t happen over night. It will take some time for you to get really clear about what it is that you want so that you can write it in a website. The Sitebuildit system while it is simple it is time consuming.
You can read the whole action guide to see what you are getting into. There also is a great Ebook they have that is called the Service Sellers Masters Course which is geared toward selling a service such as massage.
