I took my little guy to see The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature last weekend.
At the beginning of the movie, the main characters (who are squirrels) are living the high life. They’ve taken up residence in an abandoned nut factory, which is heaven on Earth for them.
It provides an unlimited supply of food, comfort, and security. Rather than doing the hard work that most squirrels have to do to survive, these ones can have delicious nuts whenever they want, and they have so much food that they even host “all you can eat” contests in their factory.
It’s an embarrassment of riches.
But then things change.
There’s an explosion, and it’s bye-bye nut factory.
The squirrels’ sweet, easy life is no more. The furry friends have to venture to the outside world (in this case, the city park) and actually hunt for their food, plan for winter, and do all that hard stuff.
They got accustomed to the easy life, and they understandably didn’t want to switch.
Like those squirrels, a lot of coaches are looking for the easy life, too.
It’s not delicious nuts that they want, but rather leads and clients flowing magically to them so they’ll never have to go out and actually work hard for them.
While it’s an appealing thought, there are no magic leads or clients factories in Coachland.
If you want to make it, you’re going to have to go outside and rough it.
For example, I recommend to all of my clients that they should be reaching out and connecting with at least 10 people a day.
When I say “connecting”, I don’t mean just throwing a friend request at a person. I mean actually having a conversation!
No conversations = no clients.
If you need help taking these actions (and staying on track), my 10 Clients In 90 Days group program is for you.
It won’t give you nuts, but it will give you more coaching clients …
The next group starts soon:
