Most of the people who would critique any of the imperfections in your business, are people who have absolutely no idea what it takes to run the type of business you run. These people will demand ridiculously high levels of perfection from you that they never in 1 million years would demand of themselves, which is why they are beneath you in business. You don’t need to be perfect And your business does not need to be perfect in order for you to make money.
5 Reasons Why I Don’t Recommend GoHighLevel for Small Business Owners In this episode, I dive into why GoHighLevel (GHL) and its white-labeled options might not be the best choice for small business owners. Drawing from my extensive experience as a tech and software implementation specialist, I highlight the key issues that make GHL challenging for non-tech-savvy business owners. Key Points Discussed: Hidden Fees: GHL comes with several additional costs for essential features like sending texts, emails, and conducting surveys, which can catch you off guard if you’re not prepared. Not User-Friendly: If you’re not a tech expert or don’t have a dedicated tech team, migrating your content to GHL can be a nightmare. Many business owners end up relying heavily on GHL agencies, which can be costly. Email Control Issues: Using GHL through an agency means your email sender reputation can be affected by other clients’ actions, potentially leading to your email privileges being cut off without notice. Limited Account Control: Agencies often retain control over your GHL account, making it difficult for you to manage it independently. Getting a complete snapshot of your account from them is not an easy task. Better Alternatives: For solopreneurs and small business owners, there are more user-friendly and cost-effective tools available. It’s important to choose software that aligns with your business needs and technical capabilities. I've got a step-by-step guide you can use to choose THE RIGHT automation tools for your business every single time. You can CLICK HERE to grab it.
If you want to build a stress-free business, or if you want to build a business that allows you to focus the majority of your time, energy, and resources on the people you love the most, then you are going to have to get used to saying “No.” you also need to get very used to the idea and the truth that your “No” will cost you money and opportunities sometimes. If you want to build a business that allows you to use the majority of your time, energy and resources towards being present with the people who you love the most, then you have to decide that the people you love the most matter more to you than the opportunities and the money that you will miss by saying “No.”
Yes, there are people who are less less talented than you, and who provide a product or service that is less excellent than yours who are winning more than you are in business. And often times when you hear that statement, it is directed at people who are not trying, people who are not doing anything people who are just sitting up and complaining about the success that they’re not having. However, what do you do when you are not one of those people? What do you do when you are doing all the things and you are doing the best that you can with what it is that you have and yet you are still not as successful as the people who are less talented than you are?
The way your team members interact with your clients can determine how long your clients continue to do business with you. Because of this, it is absolutely imperative that you teach the people who work with you and the people who work for you that negative client feedback is not a personal attack on them. This also means that you need to develop a culture in your company, that promotes course correction, as opposed to punishment. ➡️ Become a Member of The Elite Business Playground ➡️ https://perfectflowfunnels.podia.com/the-business-playground ➡️ Grab “RESOLVE” - my Step-by-Step Process for Resolving Issues with Dissatisfied Clients so Well that they LOVE You and Become EVEN MORE Loyal ➡️ https://perfectflowfunnels.podia.com/resolve-step-by-step-process-for-resolving-issues-with-dissatisfied-clients-so-well-that-they-love-you-and-become-even-more-loyal

Speak from Integrity In other words, speak from the part of your knowledge that is WHOLE. This means to only speak that which you know. You should never be speaking on a topic that you know nothing about. The only way to TRULY know a thing is through EXPERIENCE, so you must commit to only speaking from that which you have EXPERIENCE. When you have EXPERIENCE with something, the energy of that thing is stored in YOUR BODY, which means you will be able to access it at whatever point in time you choose. If you choose to speak on things for which you have no experience, you may be a really good presenter and so you can present it really well, but what happens when that speaking opportunity opens up MORE opportunities in that area in which you have NO EXPERIENCE. Then you’ll be able to get the opportunities but you won’t be able to KEEP them. You won’t have the confidence to KEEP them and sooner or later, it will show. Sometimes, what happens is that people rise so much to the challenge of developing fake confidence in things they have no experience in that when it is finally revealed that they have no experience, the stage is SO BIG that it becomes a huge, embarrassing SCANDAL. So speak from Integrity. Enunciation - DO NOT HIDE YOUR ACCENT The only reason for enunciation is so that the words you speak can be heard from afar. NOT so you can hide your accent. Unless your accent is something you would like to change, because YOU desire to play with another way of Being, then do not focus on attempting to change or hide your accent. Your willingness and ability to be UNAPOLOGETICALLY your SELF is what will unlock your confidence and it is also what will allow your confidence to be felt and to be WITNESSED by other people. Release Your Self from the Outcome Sometimes we can be soooo attached to the outcome... will they buy my thing, will they like me, will I get booed off of the stage, what if everyone gets up and leaves in the middle of my presentation, sometimes we can get so caught up in the outcome that we cast a HUGE shadow over the fact that we are SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS. How do you do this? STAY IN YOUR OWN BODY! Yes, there are people in the audience, yes there is a crowd, yes there are lights, and cameras, and whispers, and all kinds of things, but the MOST IMPORTANT thing in that moment to YOU is YOU and your message. Now when I say that, many people will feel like “oh that is so selfish,,, you’re there for your audience, what about what THEY need blah blah...” Here’s the thing: You are NO GOOD to anyone else if you are no good to your SELF FIRST. Yes, your audience needs your message, but they’ll never GET your message, if you can never DELIVER your message. And the only way you can DELIVER your message is if you are PRESENT with YOU FIRST!
