Deep dives
Under Actioning from Scarcity
Under actioning from scarcity is a common behavior among new coaches or those in the early stages of their coaching journey. When feeling scarcity, coaches often think that any action they take is not enough, leading to heaviness and lack of motivation. This mindset results in doing less and less, which hinders their progress. Another manifestation of under actioning is when coaches are drawn to grand actions that they believe will be enough, overlooking the importance of smaller, consistent actions. This can lead to procrastination or avoiding taking any action at all, delaying their growth.
Over Actioning from Scarcity
Over actioning from scarcity is characterized by coaches taking on too many tasks or having a long list of to-dos, believing that more action will lead to better results. This often happens when coaches feel urgency and perceive a lack of opportunities. Over actioning can also involve being overly aggressive in sales conversations, constantly reaching out to potential clients or bombarding them with messages and emails. Moreover, coaches may become distracted by numerous marketing channels, trying to be present everywhere without committing to a specific strategy. These tendencies can lead to overwhelm and dilution of efforts.
Sufficient Actioning and Creating Sufficiency
Sufficient actioning involves operating from a place of sufficiency, even when feeling insufficient. Coaches who engage in sufficient actioning maintain a consistent focus on delivering value and making offers to those who are ready to work with them. They believe in their own value and the ability of their clients to achieve results. Sufficient actioning requires embracing insufficiency and resistance, learning to operate in those moments, and finding ways to create sufficiency. By having fun, finding okayness in the present moment, and understanding the power of clean selling, coaches can generate sufficiency and achieve their goals.
Keys to Success in Actioning from Sufficiency
To succeed in actioning from sufficiency, coaches should follow a few key steps. First, they need to reduce resistance to feeling bad and learn to operate in insufficiency. Next, coaches should adopt a sales process to guide their interactions with potential clients, reducing reliance on instinct and emotion. Clean selling, characterized by open curiosity, positive belief, and non-attachment, helps coaches achieve better results. Additionally, coaches can create sufficiency by bringing down resistance and finding joy in the process. Finally, having multiple opportunities for selling can increase sufficiency, ensuring coaches are not overly dependent on any single prospect or outcome.
