Week 11 - What you can and cannot control 😲

Since I’m keeping my journey of talking to 30 people per day and asking them about spreading the word of what specifically I’m doing, it may look like nothing else is happening (at least that’s how I feel) 😲

Even though I’ve received feedback that what I’m talking about in the post is not very specific, and some of the individuals who could refer me to someone are unsure exactly how to do it…

Sounds like a harsh truth, ha? 😏

Yes and no.

“No” because I specifically made that post rather vague so as not to limit very much the scope of potential conversation.

And “yes” because it’s a great understanding that those folks who might be (or know someone who might be) my client, aren’t seeing that this message is for them!

Which means that the task I have for the next week is to go through the post with my services once again, analyze how each part of the offer is talking to the painpoints that my clients from ICP have, check the comments to understand what people who worked with me (or have seen my work) emphasized, and re-make a post a little bit so that it speaks exactly to my clients!

And that’s exactly what I can control! Because what people think, I definitely can’t, but by doing small adjustments here and there and constantly asking for feedback - that’s how I’ll find my sweet spot 🤓

Additionally, I’ve read about a valuable concept in the “Designing Your Life” book, such as mind mapping (I’ve been familiar with it before and have even created some maps, but never in a way related to my business).

So the idea is to choose 3 things:

  1. something I was really engaged in doing

  2. something I felt highly energized from

  3. something that brought me into the state of flow

and to make mind maps for each of them.

Next, choose three things on the outer rings of each of the mind maps, take them, and create a job description that includes all of them.

It might sound silly, but the idea is to find something on the edge of what you love doing the most, and see if you can combine your superpowers in a way that includes all of those activities.

So, yeah, it’s my note to remember and act.

I'll share what works out of it next week!
