Everyone is No One

To avoid the discomfort of choosing who you really want to work with, you give generalities. They (mainly) are described as
Which is kinda the definition of anyone and everyone. If I asked you "Give me the name of ONE person you'd love to work with. I'll introduce you to them", who would that person be? It's quite likely it'll be more than having money to spend, in need of what you have (if at all), with a type of business (small, big, remote, etc.), and with a desire to grow. Design your customer. Without that, you'll try to reach anyone. And end up with no one. |

"But it only took me 2 minutes!Why would I charge 5 000 for something that's SO simple?" Yeah. Simple TO YOU. It's highly unlikely everyone else (or the vast majority) can see what you see. To get to see what you see in under 2 mins might take them forever —or even if they get to see anything at all. Time has nothing to do with it. And if it had, it would be on your favor. The faster, the better. What's natural to you is not natural for everyone else. That's your unique ability. PS.- This is...
Trying to sound polite takes so much effort for you. In that effort of not sounding aggressive/offensive/needy/greedy you end up using fluffy language. Might Shall Maybe Should Could Hope ... All of it when you know the answer is No. You'll have to pay. The price is X. Yes, my service is expensive. A way to stop overthinking is being comfortable with the hard conversations. It's not (and won't be) easy. It's way harder if you're not used to this. Way way waaaaay harder if you're introverted....
There are a few ways to get 10K ideas off of your own head. Writing sporadically. Writing daily. Publishing daily. Journaling. Prototyping. Running an idea inventory. They all need one thing, though: consistency. It's hard as hell. I can tell: on my Clifton Strength Assessment, consistency is my VERY last one. Yet it's the only way to look for ideas, and find clarity in the way. Clarity in your thinking. Clarity in your approach. Get those 10K bad ideas off your head. :)
