What happens when a prospective client finds out you’re just a one man/woman show?
What happens when they ask, “so how big is your company?”
Some people get really nervous when getting asked questions like that. Especially if the norm in their industry is to be a big company.
School trained you to take the bait in a situation like this and defend yourself. That’s why you’ll see countless service provider websites trying to appear like they are a big company.
(SIDENOTE: This is also why school teachers ask my kids, who don’t go to school, to do math problems. They are simply repeating the habit and trying to replicate it in a new host. But darn it, I forgot to train my kids to respond “appropriately!” Which means, they don’t feel they have to defend themselves in a situation like that. They don’t view it as a requirement to defend against what is merely someone else’s opinion about what they should or should not know. So they don’t take the bait. Because they haven’t accepted the implied premise that any of that is important to them. So that’s why the teachers usually walk away bewildered…)
But I digress… let’s get back to bidness:
You don’t need an 800 number with 12 extensions when you’re really ONE person.
But that’s the habit that the system teaches to its slaves.
We’re trained to look a certain way so we don’t get called out.
These “weaknesses” are major opportunities in disguise. They provide additional clarity for you and the world.
If you’re small, you’re not for people who want big.
If you’re big, you’re not for people who want small.
If you don’t work on weekends, you’re not right for someone who wants that.
If you charge premium fees, you’re not a good choice for bargain shoppers.
When you release the story of the matrix, you can move past that emotional charge you were programmed with. It was only ever put there to blind you to your true potential.
