Key Quotes from This Episode
- “The phases of business usually are people are not going to pay attention to you at first. Then, they’re going to pay a little attention, but drop off. Then, they’re going to pay attention and actually do your call to action, like book a call with you, but then maybe not show up. Or, then they’re going to show up and say they want to do it, but then back out, or then they’re gonna sign up and pay you, and then they’re going to drop midway through the program, or something like that. So all of this is kind of just part of the game of entrepreneurship and the learning process. And as much as I’d love to tell you, you get to skip any unpleasant part of business, you don’t. But we can set you up for success when we plan for these obstacles. We can create a plan.” -Hailey Rowe
- “Our brains are wired to focus on our gaps, our problems, and everything that’s wrong with us. And if we get in that mindset, we’re oftentimes in scarcity. We’re oftentimes in high pressure mode, expecting our businesses to provide for us and putting a lot of pressure on that. And we’re not operating from abundance, creative, momentum, & an excited mindset. We’re out of even just a stable mindset, because we’re in this lack “everything is a problem” mindset. So we have to look at how far we’ve come and the gains that we’ve had to get ourselves back into the momentum mindset and the abundance type of mindset, instead of staying stuck in all of the gaps.” -Hailey Rowe
