Money Money and More Money
The demands seem endless. Pay this bill, pay for that need and pretty soon there simply isn’t enough to go around. More and more people are finding their pockets empty at the end of the month. What’s a sane person to do?
Just explain it to them. That was the answer I got during a recent meeting when I asked how we could better reach those people with the greatest potential and economic concerns.
It’s one thing to coach a client that has $750,000 a month coming in. You see, they don’t have their back against a wall. They can pay their mortgages and don’t have to worry about keeping food on the table for small children.
What I wanted to do was reach the small businessperson struggling to stay afloat making only a few thousand dollars a month. The family experiencing job loss or cutbacks constantly looking for a path to a better life and stable income results.
Those are the people that need our help the most, but guess what? They also turn out to be the very people that refuse to seek out support. “It’s not for me” or “I can’t afford it” echo in every consultation. Parents that fight every day with their children because they fail to understand the natural process of adult/child communication. People that suffer in economic limbo pondering their next move.
There are so many scams, flimflams, eBooks and crooks proliferating the world with junk right now that most reasonable people are skeptical of everything they see and hear. And rightfully so. Last year I spent almost $40,000 to review stacks of these so called “opportunities” and the great majority of them were, well, let’s simply say…lacking substance.
Everyone is in a hurry, impatient, financially strapped. Yet, those people that have support systems in place go about their business many without a care in the world. Don’t get me wrong. These people are friends and clients. They deserve the rewards they have earned and continue to earn. I share the pride and happiness of seeing a client succeed.
They also struggled and worked hard and they should reap the rewards. However, I find it a shame that it is so difficult to reach those good people that are working hard and yet still having a hard time making ends meet, but that is natural.
One of the primary symptoms of trying to do things by yourself without support is the acceptance in your mind that you do not need help. When we leave school to strike out on our own most people accept that this is absolute. They toil and struggle digging into the hard surface of economic demand. Others employ a team of support that helps them till the ground and plant the seeds of successful results.
So, in the following weeks I will be sharing some basic advice on these blogs. Hoping that the concepts and words will help someone that needs the advice. If you benefit from those ideas perhaps you’ll consider a free consultation with a coach.
Perhaps we’ll be able to crack through the pessimistic veneer that shields people from accepting help and seeking new ways of invigorating the living experience.
