Five “Not-Money” Goals to Obsess Over For a Simple, Sustainable Lifestyle Business
from Lifestyle Business School · host Stevie Dillon
THE "YOU'RE NOT SUCCESSFUL IF YOU'RE NOT MAKING A MILLION DOLLARS IN TWO SECONDS" RHETORIC NEEDS TO STAAAAHP. Like, right now. The comparison-itis on the online space is RIFE right now -- which is totally fine if it was a healthy comparison of someone a few steps ahead with a realistic backstory, giving an honest account of their business journey. It's NOT fine, however, when we're all starting to hold ourselves up to an "ideal" of million dollar years, million dollar launches and million dollar offers in two seconds. The Australian Consumer Commission has a word for this type of behaviour in real life: It's called Misleading and Deceptive Conduct. And, it's highly illegal. And yet, it seems that online, the "rules" don't apply. Business "backstories" get blurred, "success" timelines get smudged and revenue figures get "creatively inflated" in order to sell a formula for online business success; and usually, one that generously sugarcoats the work, effort, time and sacrifice required to create something great. The result? We're all drowning in a puddle of not-enoughness. Wondering why we aren't "there" yet, what's wrong with us and diminishing the value of the hard work and small, steadily compounding wins that are the building blocks to sustainable success. It's time to be much more honest about the journey of online business. And instead to focus on YOUR journey, and building a business and a life that feels good for you - brick, by brick, by brick. It's not sexy to say that it takes time, but on the flip side I think having awareness of that actually helps in enjoying the journey somewhat. In today's podcast episode, we are ditching the "make six figures in six seconds" goal and instead, I'm am sharing 5 not-money goals to focus on as you start or scale your expertise-based online business.Let's go!Side note?
