Transcript
You'll never feel ready.
Trish:Ready is a feeling.
Trish:It's not a fact.
Trish:The women who win are the ones who start before they feel ready.
Trish:Your story, your message, your expertise.
Trish:They're not just content.
Trish:That is the bridge that moves mountains for the women that you're meant to serve.
Trish:If you want to see change in your business, you have to make a move.
Trish:Sitting still never builds an empire.
Trish:Hello and welcome back to Sold Out Sales School.
Trish:I'm Trish Ware, and today this is gonna be a little shorty, I wanna have a real heart to heart conversation with you about something I see holding you back in your business, especially if you serve moms, parents, or families.
Trish:If you're here, you are probably someone like me who cares deeply about what you do.
Trish:You want to make a difference, an impact.
Trish:You wanna help to serve, to create real change.
Trish:But maybe just maybe you're feeling stuck.
Trish:Maybe you're pouring your heart into your content, you're showing up, you're doing.
Trish:All the things, and I'm putting up quotes if you're watching this, and yet the sales just aren't coming.
Trish:So today I wanna talk about why that is, and I wanna share a little bit of my own story because I know what that feels like.
Trish:Like you're spinning your wheels.
Trish:Let's get real for a second.
Trish:When I started Labor Nurse Mama, my life was a hot mess.
Trish:I was going through a brutal divorce, working as a nurse, homeschooling my kids, and holding space for all seven of them, and their emotions as our family changed forever.
Trish:I was in therapy, I was taking boundary classes, and honestly just trying to keep my head above water.
Trish:And yet in the middle of all that chaos, I made a decision.
Trish:I decided that my circumstances weren't going to define or dictate my future, and I decided that even if I only had small little baby scraps of time, I was going to use them intentionally.
Trish:Because here's the truth.
Trish:You don't need more time, you need more intention.
Trish:I didn't have time for fancy funnels or perfect branding.
Trish:I didn't have a team or big budget.
Trish:What I had was a message and a mission and a willingness to show up.
Trish:Even when it was hard, and you know what?
Trish:That decision changed everything for my family.
Trish:If you're willing to take the first step, you can move mountains even if you are carrying a baby on your hip and chaos in your life.
Trish:' cause here's what I learned, not just from my own journey, but from coaching women as well.
Trish:It's not your branding, it's not the algorithm.
Trish:It's not that you need to post more or have better ideas.
Trish:The real reason you're not selling is because you haven't learned to diagnose your audience's real problem.
Trish:Most people are treating symptoms surface level frustrations or what they think the problem is and not what your BFE actually says is the problem.
Trish:But real experts, they dig deeper, they get to the root.
Trish:If you can't clearly define her problem, you cannot.
Trish:Define the gap.
Trish:And if you can't define the gap, you cannot lead her across the content bridge to a solution.
Trish:And if you can't lead her to a solution girl, she is never gonna buy from you because she won't see you as the answer.
Trish:And if you try to guess and and diagnose the problem without talking to her, you will never know what the actual problem is.
Trish:I tell people all the time when I started at the VBAC lab, which is my VBAC course, I thought.
Trish:Like a high risk labor and delivery nurse, and I thought the main problem that I was solving was her fear of a uterine rupture, but that is what my fear was as a high risk labor nurse.
Trish:Her fear turned out after I talked and asked questions and spent time with my VFE, was that she was afraid of doing all the work and not.
Trish:Getting a vaginal delivery and ending up in a C-section.
Trish:Again, her fear was not uterine rupture.
Trish:That was my fear.
Trish:So once I switched my messaging game time, 'cause I found the gap.
Trish:So let's talk a little about the emotional cost of staying stuck.
Trish:It's not just about the business, it's about her life, her confidence, her relationship, her sense of self, her pregnancy, her birth, whatever it is.
Trish:And for you, it's about the cost of staying in the same place, overthinking every piece of content, spending hours, writing posts that don't convert.
Trish:Throwing ideas at the wall like spaghetti and just hoping something will stick.
Trish:But what if you could create content that takes minutes, not hours?
Trish:What if your messaging felt obvious?
Trish:What if buyers recognized you as the all capital TH, E expert and your sales came from clarity, not more hustle.
Trish:And that's the distance you're trying to cross.
Trish:That's the gap.
Trish:And let me tell you, if you wanna see change in your business, you have to make a move.
Trish:Sitting still will never build an empire.
Trish:Here's another truth, bomb.
Trish:Relatability builds fans, authority creates buyers.
Trish:Your story isn't a diary.
Trish:It's the delivery system for your authority, your perspective, and the path that can lead them across.
Trish:That bridge and your message moves mountains, and I see this all the time in my mastermind.
Trish:I have clients who are absolute experts like Sarah, 17 years as a doula, 900 plus birth attended, and yet she has a hard time introducing herself as the.
Trish:Expert, or maybe they think they need another certification or more followers or a fancier website, or they should have sold their offer X amount of times to be the expert.
Trish:But the women who get the real results, they show up with quiet confidence.
Trish:They own their expertise.
Trish:They focus on serving, not selling, and they build connection and that connection.
Trish:Builds trust.
Trish:' cause here's the thing.
Trish:Action takers are money makers, baby.
Trish:The women who win are the ones who move before they feel ready.
Trish:They don't wait for perfect.
Trish:They don't make decisions based on how they're feeling.
Trish:They just start.
Trish:So if you're listening to this and you're thinking, but Trish, I don't have time.
Trish:I want you to hear me.
Trish:You don't need more time, you need more intention.
Trish:When I was in the.
Trish:Thick of it.
Trish:I built my business with content and messaging.
Trish:That's it.
Trish:No fancy funnels, no complicated systems, no MiniChat, just me and my message and my content.
Trish:Clear intentional communication that connected with the hearts of the women I was meant to serve.
Trish:And here's a little secret for you.
Trish:This is why I tell my clients all the time, data makes decisions and decisions make dollars.
Trish:One of my coaches said that to me, and I will never forget it or stop saying it because you have to stop guessing and start.
Trish:Tracking.
Trish:If you wanna grow, you need to know what is working and double down on it.
Trish:And guess how you find that?
Trish:You find that by posting, posting, posting by doing different hooks and doing different captions, using my break framework, which it works.
Trish:But you want to post, post, post, not perfect.
Trish:Doesn't have to be perfect.
Trish:Just do the dang thing.
Trish:Just post the dang thing.
Trish:Go on there with your hair.
Trish:Messy.
Trish:That's real.
Trish:That connects to people.
Trish:You don't have to be perfect.
Trish:Your content doesn't have to be perfect.
Trish:Your BFE is not looking for perfect.
Trish:She's looking for you.
Trish:She's looking for an answer to her problem.
Trish:Show her that your it.
Trish:So here's my invitation to you.
Trish:If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels, if you're ready to step into your authority, if you're ready to build a business that actually supports your life, not the other way around, I want to just straight up invite you to apply for my Content Mastery Mastermind.
