BLBW Ep #12: Screw the Hustle: 6 Ps to a Pleasurable and Profitable Business

April 9, 2017

The impetus to hustle is strong out there.  In the corporate world, in the online business world.  

Struggling and striving is the way of the world, and many heart-centered business folks get sucked in.  But the hustle isn’t sustainable.  I’m not saying that success doesn’t require effort. I am saying, that success is a long game. It is a series of fundamental steps, vs a few grand slam moments.

This week’s episode was inspired by thoughts that came out of listening to a talk by Walter Nusbaum at Catalyst Denton  (You can find his original talk here).

Walter’s talk got me thinking when he asked, “What does it take to reap the rewards?” I started thinking about the elements of pleasurable and rewarding success.

I came up with 6 Ps of a Pleasurable and Profitable Business. 

 

 1) Be Persistent

  • When one has the capacity to create big chunks of revenue, it isn’t uncommon to think “If onlyI can hit the grand slam home run – everything will right itself.”
  • This thinking creates a tension in our body
  • Free throws, layups and … win games… not the 3 point shots
  • The quick fix is in demand but doesn’t reap the true rewards. 
  • Frequency over Intensity.
  • Hustling is not sustainable.
  • You can run further if you run slower. Click To Tweet

2) Be Prolific

  • You think you have to write the whole book but….
  • If you put out a little paragraph out every day, it creates a cumulative effect
  • Do a little bit every day
  • Create continually

3) Be Patient

  • Exponential success factor – people often quit just before the success really hits
  • **Part of being patient is being persistent
  • Walter – “The rewards come at the end”
  • Where is my revenue? Seems like it’s going to pay things from behind…
  • Sometimes I think what job could I get that would pay my net… it would have to be a sales job. AND… I’m in a sales job right now… we all are… if you’re an artist/entrepreneur you are in sales.. you are worrying about your own problems instead of someone else’s for security

4) Perspective

  • You are too easy on yourself
  • You are so hard on yourself
  • Get perspective.  Spiral in and spiral out. 
  • Having a coach is super helpful in getting perspective.

5) Be Present

  • Mindfulness, presence, and awareness, the Divine – bring it into your business.
  • When we are present we drop below the automatic thinking.
  • What is true for you deeper than your thoughts?
  • Tune into your spiritual guides.

6) Prophet first then Profit.

****You can Profit first when you Prophet first.  Here is the blog post from this week on Prophet First or Profit First http://allisoncrow.com/profit-first-or-prophet-first/

This whole becoming thing seems to happen in layer This whole becoming thing seems to happen in layers. Even though I teach self-trust at the core of authenticity.... new layers of my true self rise up.

Your authenticity can support your ambition... but so often we bend to the pleasure or approval of others. 
 
Let’s let that go! 

I’m here to support my clients in trusting themselves in life and business.

I believe sometimes personal development needs to I believe sometimes personal development needs to feel like shit.

It HAS to have discomfort and difficult emotions.

We need to process, not bypass.

Personal development is a skill. Which means it can be learned.

I am still learning, and you can too.

Remember When we had Blackberries instead of iPhon Remember When we had Blackberries instead of iPhones. Back then I sent a daily text to a bunch of people all over the USA. Daily encouragement and mental boosts to remind people they were amazing!  Well. I now have a new happy text! I’m getting rid of automation and going for connection! If you wanna be on my happy text... just text me and say HI!  You will get a daily reminder of love and encouragement from my 💛 to yours.

His brown eye patches scattered with grey. He follows me everywhere. The only thing he loves more than me is food. He LOVES food... as in he skips when it is dinner time.
God I love this dog.
I'm here to give you permission to do it different I'm here to give you permission to do it differently.

To be YOU.

To be MAGICAL.

To be a MISFIT.

A REBEL.

To be AMBITIOUS.

To be AUTHENTIC.

What's the thing you've been wanting to do differently but have been holding back?

Declare it in the comments. Begin the process.

First. My hair is rocking day 2 thanks to @curlsmith_official . 
Second: I have been mentally exhausted for various reasons and I have some big decisions to make in my business that directly impact my clients. 

I have been in the mental MUD around my live events and this Covid crap. Stuck between victim hood and knowing that I have a resourceful and creative mind.

Under the heavy mental load and holding current events outside business made me feel like my capacity was stretched thin. 

And i have HELP available to me. I don’t HAVE to have capacity for it all. So I asked for help. 

It’s ok to need help. 
It’s wise to ask for help. 

I have a high level coach. I have my mastermind sisters 14- kick ass business women, and fellow leaders I run parallel with. I have an integrator/implementor on my team. 

Leaders.... I’m talking to YOU. USE your help. Drop your stubborn ego and have to do it all trauma and allow yourself to be supported. The fastest way to get out of decision fatigue and mental load is GET HELP.

My word of the year this year chose me, I didn’t My word of the year this year chose me, I didn’t choose it.

The word?

JOY.

It feels so fitting this week, as I played with what I was going to share with you on the podcast, the word “joyful” just kept coming up with “ambition” and I loved the way “joyful ambition” sounded.

It made me think about what’s required to have joyful ambition, what ambition really is, and how we can let it be fully part of us.

I’m sharing my reflections around these questions and YOUR amazing responses to my question of “what is ambition” (SO COOL to hear from you all, thank you for sharing your thoughts!) on the show today.

It’s my hope that this episode will help respark the ambition inside you if needed and will encourage you to allow yourself to be the ambitious person that you are.

Listen at the link in my bio, or wherever you usually enjoy the show, and if you want to add your definition of ambition to my collection, share with me below!
