when I meet somebody who has a 30 person bookkeeping for him, all the sudden I feel useless.
I question everything about what I’m doing, my software, my bookkeeping, everything about me.
I meet all these people seem to have more money than me, more experience than me, more clients than me, more relationships than me and it just feels like I’m a fucking loser.
like this whole idea that I had for what I’m going to build this bullshit. But I don’t really know because I’m new to everything. In the world of mortgages I was a small fish in a big pond.
in the world of everything on the small fish in a big pond.I keep thinking that I’m onto something, and then I realize I’m onto nothing. I don’t even know what that means to be onto nothing, but I know how it feels. And it feels like I’m barely going anywhere
all this work I’m doing to generate business is going to work but how my going to make any money? Kevin just told me that they do bookkeeping at the same rates as I do. How what I partner up with somebody like that and make money?
and that’s exactly the kind of person I want to give business to but at those rates but doesn’t leave any room for me.
how do I tell people about this remarkable thing that I do? I have to figure out how to do that. Bookkeeping isn’t enough,I need these case studies that show how my bookkeeping increases somebody’s revenue.
I guess what I have to remember is that all of these people who I meet are doing whatever they’re doing and it’s working however it’s working. My perception of how great their life is because that sounds like they’re doing better than me it’s just that, my perception. How many of them go on meditation retreats? How many of them have a relationship with their wife like I do? How many of them are committed to their spiritual development?
I can say all kinds of good things about myself to try and pump myself up but the reality is right now I just feel terrible. The reality is right now I feel worthless and unrecognized. Right now people don’t see me as the guy who can perform miracles
and the reality is you’re either going to turn something into something or you’re not.
you’re either going to create something that people are grateful for and that they’re happy about using as a service or you’re not. But you’re doing things right Russ. You sell it very simple service, your priced correctly, you do it really well compared to most bookkeepers, even though you still have some things to learn, and you were working the unless referrals program with you only just started doing. What you’re feeling right now it’s resistance you’re feeling stinking thinking, and you got a not let that get to you
you got to keep the most important thing in front of you right now and that is Bill six hours a day so you guys have enough money.
you just got an appointment with a lady who probably is going to hire you and give you a lot of work.
want to try and be grateful just for a second that you paid five dollars for a lead that could turn into thousands of dollars in income.
you actually have plenty of work right now that you should be doing. so shake it off, get your mind back on important thing number one, get those hours billed and get your work done. when you’re billing six or $7000 a month you’re going to feel so much better about life in general. and if you keep doing what you’re doing, eventually you’re going to find something that works. Edison did it and so will you.
