Hi there,

On your entrepreneurial journey, have you ever considered hiring someone to help you, then thought: “I can probably do that myself” or “I can’t afford to hire someone right now, so I have to do this myself"?

When you are doing everything in your business, you’re doing some tasks poorly, some in an average way, and some really well.

One of my favorite sayings is that you should charge the most for what you do easily and well. So why spend time doing poorly, on work you don’t enjoy? That's the stuff you want to delegate to someone else.

In today’s article, I explore some of the common thoughts and emotions around getting support. Ultimately, you’ll make more money by staying in your brilliance and letting others support you from their brilliance.

Dedicated to your expansion,

Marcy

Do you experience anxiety or stress? Have problems staying in the present moment?

So many people do and that is why I’ve joined VedaSun’s Anxiety Busting Challenge. I am one of over 20 women participating in this collaborative challenge at VedaSun. I’m really honored to share my story and golden nugget that helped me become more present. My post is on Day 2 at http://vedasun.com/pathway-to-presence.

SUPPORT: Stay in Your Brilliance To Earn More

Certain decisions in 2011 stand out for me. Writing a $14,000 check was one. Another pivotal decision for me in 2011 was hiring multiple assistants: to handle my scheduling, to find speaking engagements, and to handle my social media. This was harder for me than the $14,000 commitment was!

It’s easy for me to invest money in my training and education. I’ve always done that and I’ve always received a benefit. From childhood on, I have experiences that show me how investing in myself leads to greater income, more praise/a higher profile, and more opportunities.

Also going back to childhood, I questioned whether I DESERVED high-quality support. One of my major life themes has been: “I can do everything by myself.” Either no one else can help or I somehow don’t deserve to receive help.

My personal issue around whether I deserved high-quality help was huge! When I broke through that in 2011, it was a ginormous accomplishment that I truly relish!

What helped me achieve the break-through was 1) the inner work of raising my deserve level and 2) on a practical level, seeing that my business could not grow without support. I had become the bottleneck on my business.

I’m sharing this story in some detail because I see this repeated over and over again in the businesses of my clients and my colleagues.

Here are some of the most common issues that entrepreneurs have when it comes to seeing out support, which I’m defining here as direct help in your business.

1. You don’t want to invest in support until you have more money. Yet you can’t make more money without support. That is the definition of a Catch-22! The easiest way out is to make the investment, however uncomfortable it is, and watch your business take off. One multi-million dollar coach has learned that every time she hires a new virtual assistant, her income goes up by $100K. She jokes that whenever she wants to earn more, she immediately considers hiring a new assistant!

2. You have issues around support: Do you deserve it? You feel that other people merit support, yet somehow you don’t. For every entrepreneur, your business is a mirror of YOU. It doesn’t show you other people, or the economy. It reveals you to yourself. Your business results mirror your deserve level. If you want to increase your results, then your task is to raise your deserve level.

3. “I can do it all myself. Why should I pay someone else, when I can do that work?” What builds your business? You doing administrative work, or you building your team? You creating your own web site, or you attracting more clients? You will earn the most money, most easily, when you work exclusively in your area of brilliance. Your business will run most easily when you stay in your brilliance vs. your competence, and allow other people to exercise their brilliance on what you can do merely competently.

CALL TO ACTION

Recognize yourself in any of these descriptions? If so, I strongly recommend you explore this and see where you can start to take action.

Your business can never grow beyond a certain size without extra hands. If you’re happy with your current size, that’s fine. If you want more business growth in 2012, then adding high-quality support is an important pathway-to-cash for you.

When you find the right support, your work will be made much easier. You will feel confident that a skilled person is doing the tasks as well as or better than you. Most likely, they’ll do it faster than you would, because they don’t get distracted by other business matters like you might. And they’ll do it more easily than you would, because they’ll be in their brilliance.

You may also find some joy in having a team to help you. You can benefit from bouncing your ideas off others, and receiving new ideas from your team members.
You will earn more money when you stay totally in your brilliance and receive support from others who are in their brilliance.

Here’s how it helped a recent participant

"Marcy was extremely helpful in giving me objective outside opinions. I was able to see how my past experiences were holding me back from achieving my goals. Some of the messages that I received stated that I was not worthy to excel. Marcy showed me how very unique I am and there is no one like me!! With her help, I'm beginning to maintain change in my communication skills and having better interpersonal relationships!"
