The other day I was talking to my friend + fellow business owner Deb about marketing when it feels like the world is on fire. Our takeaway: it feels weird, bad, awkward, and irritating to sell stuff right now!
For sure there are more important things happening in the world than selling my stupid little marketing services or my adventure trips.
Unspeakable things are happening to our fellow humans that we watch unfold on our phones and then just… go pay our parking tickets and wash our cars. It’s not normal!
So if you’ve been stuck in a doomscroll spiral lately, or you feel frozen about how to show up and talk about your work without feeling pushy or clueless while we are in this insane timeline… I think all of that makes complete sense.
I feel it too, and when I chat with my fellow business-owner friends we are pretty much all feeling that way.
But you still need to make money.
And the people who you help still need your help.
When you feel stuck, you don’t want more information, you want connection.
Have you ever bought an online course or app that you never used, to try to solve that feeling of, “I just feel stuck and overwhelmed and I wish someone would tell me exactly what to do next.”
I definitely have spent MANY THOUSANDS of dollars trying to solve that feeling.
I think that at the core of that desire is not the need for more information, it’s the desire for connection and understanding.
It’s a very human need to verbally sort through something with one of your peers and untangle your own brain in the process. It’s the need for peer mentorship!
When you feel stuck and unsure about how to proceed, you probably don’t actually need more information. You need someone who will sit down with you, listen, understand your specific business, help you sort through your ideas, and tell you the two or three things that are actually worth your time right now.
In that moment, you need a real human who understands tiny, trust-based businesses and communities like yours.
So instead of doomscrolling or buying something that doesn’t help, connect with me.
