You Cannot Be A Success If You See Yourself, Your Business & Investments In Your Business As A Burden

Here is a copy of an e-mail that I sent to a prospective client that told me that they did not want to burden themselves with the coaching … seems to me, the coaching would be the least of their burdens.

Dear Joe Advisor,

Thank you very much for the opportunity to speak with you about Clearing Your Roadblocks to enable you to meet and exceed your goals.

Our conversation was brought about by you checking off: Yes! Please contact me. I am ready to make changes to my business. I want to schedule an appointment with Simon Reilly.

Joe, before we go any further, this is a tough love e-mail and not intended to be mean-spirited.

If you are wondering about the value that you will receive consider the commitment, focus and energy required to write the following:

Our call was based on the following overview: we discussed your business, the improvements you want to make and the roadblocks that you are experiencing.

These are the following roadblocks that you told me you wanted to deal with that are sabotaging your success:

• Perfection
• Control
• Not following through
• Modify your beliefs
• Modify your behaviours
• Improve your disciplines
• Prioritization
• Productivity
• Time management
• Delegation

I re-explained the theory around our misunderstanding about values and unmet needs and the unmet needs are at the core of the issues that you are facing. Your needs are control, safety, worthiness, perfection, and recognition. All of these generate limiting beliefs which generate fear and this fear is blocking you even now in making a decision to once and for all clear these roadblocks. Your unmet needs of control and safety and perfection have got you in a debilitating set of behaviours that are keeping you stuck and safe at the same time doing busy work to keep you safe from the granddaddy of all unmet needs which is worthiness. I’m suggesting that with that unmet need of worthiness, generating fear and anxiety, these in turn will generate limiting beliefs that I am afraid I’m not good enough which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You become lazy. You procrastinate doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

Remember I told you, the very issue that you are facing will block you from doing the coaching as well. Because the need of worthiness and the fear and anxiety that goes along with it and the projected limiting belief that I am not worthy and that I am not good enough will get transferred over on to the coaching.

At the beginning of this email I said that we spoke because you checked off: Yes! Please contact me I’m ready to make changes in my business. I want to schedule an appointment with Simon Reilly.

I came to the call committed to your success. To make a difference.

When I asked you to make a decision, to make an investment in yourself, fear crept in and you started to tell me about all of your expenses to be in the business and you used the word “burden” around the investment in your coaching to break through the above list of things that have been sabotaging your business and your life for decades. We always find the money for the things that we want but not for what we really need. You are finding the money to go on the trips you are going on. While there is value in these trips there is medication in them as well so that you can get away from what you really need to do.

What is the burden?

Burden sure resonates with the unmet needs of worthiness and the limiting belief that I am not good enough to invest in because I am a burden.

Think about it. Look at the above list. Answer your own question.

What has the cost been of carrying all of that stuff internally for years?

What’s it going to continue to cost you to carry that?

You’ve got an opportunity to make a change. And I am, in fact, the one that’s carrying the risk because I’m offering you a risk-free guarantee if it doesn’t work.

Please find the following link to the testimonials of clients that have worked with me to clear their roadblocks and to get back on track to meet and exceed their goals https://leadingadvisor.com/financial-advisor-coaching/testimonials/

There really isn’t anything else for me to say… I am committed. Are you?

Are you ready to make a choice to break through the above list of roadblocks or are you going to continue to operate with the same system that you’ve been using for years.

The choice is yours.
