- 5 Must-Have Traits to Go Beyond 6-Figures
5 Must-Have Traits to Go Beyond 6-Figures
A client asked me the other day:
“What do you think’s the difference is
between coaches that make it
And those who don’t?”
So off the top of my head,
I ratted off these 5 Must-Have Traits:
#1 - The willingness to be seen looking foolish.
The need to be seen as
Right, smart, pretty, or handsome
Will stop a lot of entrepreneurs from innovating.
If you’re not afraid of
Being seen starting over,
That trait can outwork
Talent or intelligence
any day of the week.
#2 - The willingness to love what’s hard.
If you’re in business to chase the
The money, lifestyle, and recognition
Get out now.
Those mountain peaks
are far and few between.
The real question is
Can you fall in love
with the sh*t work?
Because if you can learn to
Love the work when no one’s looking,
When there’s no money or recognition,
You’ve got a shot.
#3 - The willingness to be okay with losing money.
You will spend a lot of money
to learn what not to do with money.
Learn to be okay with that.
#4 - The willingness to redefine self-worth.
It’s human nature to
define self-worth based upon
Money, likes, and recognition.
But when you need self-worth the most it’s
When you don’t have any of them.
Every successful entrepreneur I know
Has learned to own their worth
Even when their bank account doesn’t reflect it.
#5 - The willingness to move towards when everyone else stops.
Paralysis without proof.
When we’re in uncharted territory
we crave certainty and control.
We like to have plans.
Step 1, Step 2, Step 3.
But the further you go
The more you realize
There’s no “paint by numbers” path.
The trick is …
If you know the first step
Can you take action and trust that
The next step will appear?
Cheers,
