What do you do when something is not working in your online business? For example, let's say you have a launch on a new course that you've created or a done-for-you service that you offer, and it's not doing as well as you’d like, you're completely hearing crickets. Now, this is important. I'm going to tell you to stop switching your offer when something doesn't work for you, the first time.
For the love, Stop Switching Your Offer
Stop switching your offer when it doesn't work the first time, instead take that feedback and use it to launch the offer better than next time.
Stick with me here, because we only become good at something when we keep trying, tweaking, and offer it over and over again. While taking that feedback from the launch and improving upon it.
Figure Out Why
Now, I know what you’re thinking, it's not working, absolutely no one was interested in your offer, it will be much easier to start all over again.
That’s not true stop switching your offer. After each launch, you should debrief and look at the feedback and tweak it to generate interest.
I’m guessing you took care in selecting your offer in the beginning. You’re offering a course or service that you love right?
Launching something new can be a challenge, don’t give up after one attempt because you're going to become better and better and better every single time you launch your offer.
This is not groundbreaking we become good at things, and an expert at things that we keep doing over and over and over again.
It all boils down to this stop switching your offer. That will be even more confusing to your audience.
Believe it or not
Do you still not believe me? Well, you need to think about this, our natural instinct is to keep trying, even when it doesn't feel like it works the first time.
Here's a prime example for any parents out there.
Think back to when your children were babies, and they were starting to walk and talk did they get it the first time? No!
But, here’s the thing they kept trying, they didn't stop, they kept trying until they actually mastered walking and talking.
And that’s what I mean that tells us that our natural instinct is to keep trying, even when it doesn't work the first time.
Only a few
I’d like to point out it is only in a few situations that I would say, Oh, hold on sister, maybe you need to stop that.
Those are the situation that could be physically harming you, emotionally, or mentally, that would be the only situation where I would tell you to stop.
In Online Business
Here is the thing in your online business when it doesn't work the first time around, that is just feedback that you can use to make it better than next time around.
So at your next launch, you will know that you need to do X, Y, and Z instead of A, B, and C.
I’ll say it again you only become an expert when you keep doing it, meaning stop switching your offer.
When you take your launch debrief information and use that feedback you will do even better than next time.
Your Desire
Let me point out that desire to switch or to stop. That's your brain trying to pull you back into comfort.
What most people don’t realize when you're pushing yourself outside your comfort zone you do not feel safe, it’s scary and your brain is going to keep you safe every single time.
But that's okay because the more and more you do it, the better and better you'll get the more comfortable and the safer and safer you'll feel as you're launching your offer.
Today, I encourage you to stop switching and keep on with your offer and take that feedback and make it better.
✁ Just a Snippet
Here is just a snippet of the important points, you know for the skimmer in you. 🤪
- Stop switching your offer when something didn't work for you the first time.
- We only become good at something when we keep trying to do it and improve upon it
- Our natural instinct IS to keep trying even when it doesn't work the first time.
Here is something I'd like you to think about. Does a baby give up on walking when they fall down the first time, no they keep trying until they master walking! That tells you our natural instinct is to keep trying even when it doesn't work the first time. Only in a few situations would I tell you to hold up on trying, that would be if it is harmful to you physically, emotional,ly or mentally to keep going then stop it. But, that's very different than - When it doesn't work the first time that's just feedback to use to make it better the next time around. We only become an expert when we keep doing and use the feedback to do it better the next time.
- You may be switching because your brain is trying to pull you back to comfortable
