Ep. 84 The importance of casting a vision for results
with Lani Jackson
You’ve heard of the ‘I help’ statement. People ask you, “What do you do?” Those are really important things to know but there is a really powerful piece that is missing for so many of us as entrepreneurs like myself.
I started this way, I’ve been guilty of this. I’ll come and just tell somebody, “Oh, I’m a business coach and clarity coach and I help people with business strategies for mom entrepreneurs.” And that’s supposed to generate excitement and interest?!
Nope, it does not because it doesn’t paint any kind of picture or cast a vision of what could happen if that person that was listening to me is a mom entrepreneur. Me telling them what I do and what my titles are mean, nothing!
We need to cast a vision for them and the results that they want. Whenever we’re talking to someone, we should be able to clearly communicate and paint that picture that is going to get their mind like ‘Yes, please!’
“Because it’s not really that sexy and fun to be told, You need systems and a strategy.’ So if I just went and promoted ‘You need systems and strategies if you want more income,’ y’all would just tune me out!
So I have to be able to paint for you the thing that you’re gonna get. Those results! And then tell you how that’s gonna happen in a way that you’re gonna relate to.
You’re gonna get the income and bonus points, you’re gonna get the strategy and the systems along the way.”
