You are so much more powerful than you think
I can make that bold statement because I know that you and I both possess a superpower, friend.
This superpower is something that might be unseen to you right now. Fair.
It certainly was for me for a very long time.
I was stuck in a 9-5 job for so many years that gave me anxiety-diarrhea every Sunday evening (sorry that’s TMI… but IYKY).
I stayed because I had a mortgage, travel dreams, retirement goals, bills to pay, etc., etc., etc.
In short - I stayed because I thought I had to.
“Golden handcuffs” as they say.
But one day, I started seeing this situation differently. I realized something that changed my life (and I think it can change yours too - keep reading):
While I could not control the *options* in front of me - (1) stay in job and make lots of $$ or (2) leave job and try something new - I did have the ability to choose which option I selected.
And this realization changed everything for me.
I’ll say it again, friend: we can’t always control the options in front of us for any given decision, but we always have the ability to select the option we choose.
And one day, I chose to leave my old job and try something new - to bet on myself. Fast forward 2-ish years, and I couldn’t be more content. It’s Friday morning at 9am and I’m sitting here on my porch writing this email to you with a cup of tea, some Iron & Wine playing and I don’t have a bra on.
This is actually my work day and my to-do list is relatively short.
The path to this point hasn’t always been smooth and the stress of running a growing biz with a dispersed team is real.
But I am so much more fulfilled than I was in my old life and I’m thankful every day that I made the choice to bet on myself.
So I’ll say it again: You and I always have the power to choose.
What could this look like for you in your biz today? I’ll give you an example.
Do you have a tough client who is consistently hard on your staff… you know the kind - whenever you see her name pop up in your Inbox, your stomach skips?
In this sitch, you have choices:
Keep client and try to mend the relationship
Fire client and trust better-fit clients will find you
I can already hear you saying “But, but, but Tanya… if I fire a client, won’t my revenue go down? Won’t that be bad PR for my biz? Won’t my client hate me??”
I mean, maybe. There are always consequences for our choices - I think that’s obvious.
But don’t fool yourself - by continuing to work with the tough client and punting this decision forward, you are actually choosing “keep client” and not choosing “fire client.” And you tell me how that’s working for you and your staff…
In The 7-Fig CEO, I’m going to help guide you through the hard decisions like this because I know these are the types of questions tumbling around your head at night.
And what I’m most interested in is what’s on the other side of hard decisions like this for you, friend- as in, what will come through for you when you finally fire that client and create space in your mind (and schedule) for something new to come through.
What you’ll get:
Together, we’ll work on the 1 or 2 big questions/objectives you have so that you have the clarity required to build a sustainable biz that doesn’t leave you feeling overwhelmed and dreading weekly team meetings.
You’ll work 1:1 with me, a CPA and management consultant with over a decade of experience advising 6-, 7- and 8-figure business owners, to develop and design a strategic plan to make your big ideas feel less like dreams and more like a list of steps we can put in your agenda.
You’ll also work with my team of CPAs and admin/system support people to execute your implementation plan.
Why do you need team support?
Well, friend, I can design the most beautiful strategy in the world for you, but what I can’t give you is more than 24hrs in your day. Instead, let my team help you and your team with the execution and implementation of the strategic plan.
As Andy Gross said, “Ideas are great, but execution is everything.”
Investment: All projects are quoted on a custom basis (3, 6, or 9 months), and start at $6,500/mo + GST/HST for 45hrs of consulting time.
