While the cats away the mice will play. Or will they work?
While the cat's away… Hello Dear Business Owner…it’s the mice here. Jillian’s team of Savvy Sponsoring mice, also known as the Behind the Scenes Team, that is! While Jillian is away this week, we have the wheel, or is that the catnip? Seriously though, as a business owner, have you ever asked yourself what you would do if you had to be away from your business for a while? Whether it’s for something planned long in advance, or something sudden and unexpected… What would your team and business do, if you needed to step aside, for a week, a month, a year? What would happen to your business? What would happen to your customers?? Would you dread coming back to a big slump and have to rebuild everything after cleaning up a mess? Better yet…would it be easy and stress-free for you to respond gracefully in the moment, and be able to leave knowing wholeheartedly that ‘all would be well?’ This week’s ezine is all about that. Because truth be told, although the saying goes that while the cat’s away, the mice will play…that’s okay by us because to us, our work is play. We get pretty excited when Jillian takes off because it means we get to make things smooth as silk and publish things like…this article.
To start you thinking in the direction of ‘How can I have a team like that?’ let’s ask you a few coaching questions. Print this out so you can fill in the answers, or just take out a notebook now and go for it.
Question #1:
Can you trust others to do the job? Being able to trust is a big factor in this. Have a look in the mirror and ask…if I had to leave my business now, in the next 5 minutes, who I could trust? (Bonus points for answering: Why can I trust them OR why can’t I?)
Question #2:
Are you modeling a business owner who wants to be replaceable? Put another way, are you preventing or encouraging a team to grow as strong as they can be, even if that means stronger than you?
Anyone can start a business, that’s the easy part. Keeping it going through various growth stages is not necessarily difficult, but it does require some different tools and thinking. How can you shift your thinking on this point?
Question #3:
Are you saying ‘no’ to the help that wants to find you? Whether that be team members, mentors, even us here at Savvy Sponsoring? What help could you use, right now, that would make the biggest difference?
(Bonus point: Would you like your team to grow to the point where they can fill your shoes?)
It’s an easy yes/no question but you’d be surprised how many people haven’t answered resoundingly in their own hearts and minds.
If you said ‘yes, you could use some help’ and ‘yes, you’d like your team to (out)Grow you, we the mice, officially invite you to take part in a complimentary one-hour call with Savvy Coach Norine, on Wednesday March 29, at 10:00 to 11:00 AM (Pacific time) Click here to register. If you’ve been on these calls before you know they are fun, fast moving, and super rich. So come along again for the ride, why don’t ya?
If you’ve never been on these calls before, well…let’s call it like it is because that’s what Jillian would want… you’re saying ‘no’ to help that could make a true difference to your business, plain and simple. Now what are you going to do THAT for??
Why not see if you can’t get your energy moving in a big way toward making this your best year yet. It’s one hour, and even though Norine will be talking about the next “Get Your Year In Gear” Coaching Program, there is no obligation. In fact, we might even give **you** a gift, just for attending.
We hope to see you there! Rock on, The Mice P.S. If you can’t wait and want to go for the “Get Your Year in Gear” Program now, we don’t blame you… it’s been really eye-popping to see the growth achieved by previous business builders. The link to sign up is below…go on, we know you want a nice long vacation this year…
Jillian – I’ve been thinking of you lately – a number of my team are jumping in to your series and getting connected with your coaching programs and I just LOVE IT! I have about 5 girls who are hitting above 15-24K in their Areas consistently and I’d like to see them go Region soon. I know that when I got plugged in to your series, that is where I was at in volume and just 3 months after your series, we started our qualifications for Region.
Blessings! Looking forward to talking with you soon...
