Staying Power | Ep.33

Staying Power | Ep.33

How are you going to show up this year in your business, in your life when things don't work the way you want them to?

How are you going to show up when the results aren't instant?

How are you going to show up if things look different than what you thought they would?

What I learned in over a decade in business is that if you're looking for long-term sustainable success and really want to build something that is lasting and that fulfills you and that's not crash and burn, if you want to make it in business…. then staying power is a muscle that you've got to develop.

Because truthfully, giving up is the easy route, and I desire more for you, I desire MORE for all of us.

Theresa Lambert:

I believe in divine timing. I believe that the right people information, wisdom, guidance, heck things arrive when we're ready for them. I believe that owning our own truth unconditionally is the path to not only creative fulfillment, but more about success and abundance. This is not only a podcast to help you get strategic and mastered a position of success. It's a declaration to share the truth. It's a commitment to keep going to make it happen no matter what. It's an activation and invitation for me for you and for us to play a bigger game. So my question for you is this. Do you really want it? Do you really want to make your dreams come true? Do you really want to become a six figure coach? Welcome to the diaries of a six figure coach podcast, I am your host, Theresa Lambert, and I dare you to get ready to show up, boss up and make it happen.

Theresa Lambert:

Let's talk about staying power, staying power. This is literally the fourth attempt for me to record this podcast episode. And it's kind of hysterical because this is at the heart and soul of what I'm going to talk about staying power. How are you going to show up this year in your business in your life when things don't work the way you want them to? How are you going to show up when the results aren't instantly crowd defying? How are you going to show up if things look differently than what you've thought they were going to be? staying power in business is huge. Business isn't built by force. It's truly built through persistence. If you want a long term sustainable business, if you're looking for long term sustainable success, and really want to build something that is lasting, and that fulfills you. And that's not crashing ban. And if you want to make it in business, staying power is a muscle that you've got to develop. And that is why I want to have this conversation with you. At the beginning of 2023. At the beginning of 2020. Free today, it would have been really easy for me to say screw it, it's not blocking, I shouldn't be recording. This is all bullshit. It's not lacking, I could have let the situation that I went through with my resume making me sound like a robot. And maybe again, if I stopped the recording, I realized I sound like a robot for the first time. There is a risk of that I could let that stop me. Stop me from taking action stop me from showing up and having this important conversation with you stop me from bringing the passion to this conversation. And instead, I am using it as a way to light me up even more and to hit home the importance of it. Because I can tell you that over the last couple of years building my business to six figures supporting my clients. The one thing that I see again, and again, it's staying power. Giving up is easy. Not going all in is easy hiding away when it's not working when people aren't buying when we don't see the results is easy. It's really easy, but showing up when things look differently or showing up when things don't go the way we want them to. And showing up and staying committed to our vision staying committed to the plan that hopefully you've all been working on. And if you need help with the plan, download the business plan workbook. It is gold. I've gotten so much incredible feedback about it downloaded. It's an incredible resource. It's there for you. You can have it. But can you stay committed? Can you stay committed to this goal? Can you stay committed to this vision? Can you stay committed to really putting your heart and soul into creating what you want to create both in your business and quite frankly, in your life? Because things aren't always going to work the way you want them to. Things are going to get hard sometimes. Plans change, things look different, you know, starting off 2023 It's January 12. Starting off this year, I started off with duality. I ve launched strategic and I still have nine spaces that are open. I had one incredible soul client join me already. And my goal is to get 10 of you coming and joining me in that space and to maintain 10 spots in that space for 2020 free and that is what I'm working towards this year. I quite frankly expected or believe that I would have four people joining me or more right from the beginning from the fall. kickoff call which happened earlier this month. But I had one, I had one. And I could have, I could look at that and saying, oh my god, I gotta be embarrassed, I have one person in a in my mastermind or it's not working, or I'm not relevant anymore and see it's not working. Or I can say, You know what I'm going to show up for that one as much as I would foot 10, I'm going to show up and stop this container as powerfully as I would if there was four and then all 10. And that's exactly what I'm going to do. Because my goal is to be able to provide this one person, the best possible experience to make sure that she is going to get the results that she's looking for in her business. And I'm going to do everything in my power to be able to help her do that. I have skin in the game. And I get to guide this one incredible soul client and I am excited to see who else is coming in. I have not calling defeat, just because it looks differently. And at the same time that I have been experiencing that, which hasn't happened to me in a long time to have one person starting off in a program with me, I am having I also had the biggest masterclass, together with Blair that I ever had with over 100 people registered. And I'm holding the duality and I'm like, wow, like, what, what, what's going on in here, right? Like what's happening. But the thing here is this I could make both things mean, something I could make both things mean something about me about my process about my strategy. Or I can just be like, Look, it's lacking, I have one person already in my ongoing mastermind, and I'm gonna keep growing it from him. I have multiple conversations with people that are interested in joining the strategic mastermind. And I know the right clients will come in, and they are going to be sold clients, they're going to be at the right stage in business, they're going to be ready to build their businesses to six figures, and they are going to have tremendous results in that space. And I have said no to people in the last few weeks, and that was hard as fuck. But you know what, again, it's staying power, can I remain holding the space? Can I remain in the belief that I am going to be having 10 People in the space? And my answer is heck, yes. And I'm not making it mean anything that there was one person, I'm looking at that one person and saying she is a fuck, yes, Dream soul client, and she's in it. And she is one of the 10 that is going to be in the space. It's done. It's happening. And then also, I can say, Wow, and look at that there was more opportunities, there was an opportunity to welcome 100 new entrepreneurs into my world into my business into what I'm doing 100 People 100 souls 100 opportunities 100 seeds planted, what an epic way to stop the year, what an epic way to start the year. But here's the thing, I can look at one thing, and I could let it demotivate me and say it's not working, I'm gonna give up. It's done. That's it, right? Like January 12, call me out. Or I can be like, I am committed to making this happen. I'm committed to filling the 10 spots and serving this way with these clients that I know are going to get tremendous results, I am going to be showing up for one as much as I'm going to show up for 100. Because I am committed and I am in this. And the key is staying power. I'm going to continue to show up and sell the strategic mastermind as much as other things that I'm doing. Why? Because I believe in that space, because I believe in the entrepreneurs that are joining because I believe in my mission and my vision that I have to help people scale their businesses and feminine flow. I am going to stay committed. I am in it. There is staying power. And I have developed that staying power. And this is almost another one of those moments same than recording this podcast, where I'm literally sitting back and I'm like, this almost feels like a test. Can you keep showing up? Can you keep staying in it? And remain confident in your ability to create results in your ability in your life? Believe in your strategies Believe in your process? Believe in your systems when it doesn't look the way you thought it would? And you continue to show up and record epic podcast episodes even when the Zoom world and the tech world throws you freaking curveballs and wastes an hour and a half of your day. And I'm literally now left being like Okay, I gotta get some podcast episodes in and recorded for this month and get myself set up because it's a big month. And I want to be able to be in it and feel it and be connected and be present and have these amazing conversations that I've been having with clients and with these new souls coming into my wealth, and I remain committed, no matter what

Theresa Lambert:

are you able to stay committed? staying power is huge. You know, it's beautiful to make a plan or just say you want all these things, but are you going to be able to consistently work towards it? Are you going to stay committed to it when it's not working? Business is built through persistence, not through fools. Business is built for persistence, are you going to be able to hold yourself to the standard and to remain committed all year long? Are you going to be still showing up with the same drive passion and motivation in six months from now than you are right now, if you're not going to be, quote, unquote, as far enough ahead, as you thought you would be? This is powerful beyond belief. If we can lead ourselves through times, where it doesn't look the way we thought it would, when we can lead ourselves through challenges when they arise and still show up with the same energy, passion and drive. If we can allow ourselves to say I am in it, no matter what, that is powerful, but it requires staying power. And quite frankly, and honestly, and blandly. Most entrepreneurs and most people I meet, are not willing to keep going, when it is not working. The first wave that knocks them over, they want to run the first time they have a launch and it doesn't work out the way they thought they would they are ready to give up and they start hiding. And they spend weeks and weeks procrastinating not putting themselves out there because they are riddled by the field that it happens to get happens again. Feeling embarrassed, feeling worried feeling this feeling that. And the thing is, you got to be willing, you got to be willing to do it no matter what you got to be willing to show up no matter what you got to be willing to serve one with the same commitment, passion, and drive, then you would tend, the experience you give people in your world has got to be the same whether it is one person coming in and you want to 10 or whether there is 10 people in it. And you want to 100 I don't even know. Are you able to lead yourself through this? And are you able to remain committed? This is what staying power is all about. And it's so so essential. If you focus on one muscle to develop this year, its staying power. If you made a goal to sell every day, to share your office every day, or maybe send two messages five days a week to people in your network to connect with them and build stronger relationships. Can you hold yourself to the standard all year long? Can you remain committed? Can you remain committed to make it happen? You're not always going to feel motivated. motivation comes from two things. motivation comes after you've taken the action. And I know as soon as I stopped this episode, and it worked, I'm going to feel so freaking amazing that it actually recorded the time. And the motivation also comes from when you're seeing results, but you can't see the results unless you take the action. So you're staying power, your willingness to stay in and your willingness to show up and give everything no matter what it looks like is going to be a key factor in your ability to create the kind of results that you want to create. So this is what I want us to start the year with. This is the kind of certainty that you can to create when you commit to be in it. Develop your staying power muscle, don't just be in this for the results be in this for something else. Every time I receive a message that I made an impact on somebody's life. Every time I receive a message of gratitude and appreciation for the way I show up every time you message me and thanked me for my authenticity and for saying the things that nobody else talks about. It lifts my freaking heart and reminds me that this is why I'm in it. I am in it for the impact I am in it because I want to be a different voice. I am in it because I want you to show you and become a living breathing example of what's possible when we remain committed to making our dreams a reality to building these thriving, soulful, successful businesses. Shifts not always easy. It gets hard it gets hard for me I hold duality As much as you do, I still do things in my business and Fox, sometimes they don't work. Sometimes timing is off. Sometimes it looks differently. But I remain committed to what I want to do, which is ultimately supporting 1000s of entrepreneurs to build thriving soulful businesses that allow them to live the life they want to live the lifestyle they want, and the income that they want. So they can help people live out their purpose, live out that passion and make a difference. So together, we make a change in this world, because I can't do it alone. I want to change the way we define success, I want to change the way we live our lives, I want to change the way we believe walk needs to look like. And to be able to do that I got to help more people do exactly that. The more of us lived this way, breathed this way, work this way, build our businesses this way, the more of us show everybody else that it's possible to have both a thriving wildly successful businesses and space in our calendar, to do nothing or to go to full moon ceremonies. I'm going to one tonight, in order to travel the world or to raise our families or to just have more space and time to read a book and not feel guilty about it. The more we actually can make an impact on what people believe this all needs to look like. I want to help more people help more people. So that together we can make a difference. So more people thrive. So more people energized and more people love waking up in the morning so more people have access to support. So most people don't on that journey alone. I help people in the wellbeing space. I help people in the like, I help people who are copywriters, I people who are graphic designers, I help people who are like coaches in all different spheres and forms. And it just lifts my heart that I get to support all these different entrepreneurs who support people to do something cool, who bring a vision to life, who make a change in the world. It's really cool. I'm having conversations with people right now who are running foundations, who wants to do like nonprofits who are like working towards, like supporting or reducing things like sex trafficking, creating awareness who want to stop poverty and do something about that, who, like, it's just wild to me. It's wild to me. And I get to be a part of that journey. I get to be a part of that journey to help them bring this gift to the world. That is incredible. That is incredible. Imagine if millions of entrepreneurs were thriving, this world will be different. And we need more of that. We need more of that. So staying power is huge. Are you going to be staying in it? No matter what. I want you to declare it sent me a message DM me at Teresa Lamba coaching and let me know I'm in it. I'm in it no matter what. I am committed to developing my staying power muscle, put it on your Instagram stories and tag me write a post about it. If this inspired you. Are you in it? Are you in it no matter what. That is what I want to know. And that is what I want us to fire up this year with. And keep in mind throughout the entire year. stay committed, stay in it. Don't look for instant gratification. Aim for long term success and long term sustainability and long term gratification. Because that's where the real magic and juice is that I love you so much. And I can't wait to be back next week. And for more juicy conversations all 2023 I'm bringing a bit of a different vibe this year. I'm going to be saying things that's probably going to be triggering some of you and if it does, consider yourself activated. You're all rock stars. Thanks for being here and I can't wait to hang out all year long.
