Take the Plunge

How do you know when it's time to move forward?

Making decisions remains one of the hardest necessities of both personal and professional growth. How do you know when it's time to quit thinking and go for it? 


Maybe you're unsure. You've waited, spent hours researching, writing, reading other people's success stories, and staring into the river as you hope that the silt in the water will settle. You're waiting for certainty– for the rapids to stop flowing over the rocks so you can see the pebbles on the riverbed clearly. 


The thing is, the river is never going to stop flowing. 


Perhaps the only way to know which way to go is to jump in, and trust that the river will take you where you want to go. You can pause and reflect, considering who you serve, who you are, and why you started out in the first place. You can tell your story, honing in on the places where you felt sure of your calling, and your first successes. You can name your roadblocks, the different obstacles you have had to overcome as you've walked down the road of leading an organization. You can research how to climb out of the pit you've fallen into, or how to press on when you've plateaued. You can meet with a team who will tell you how to do that. 


But at some point, you have to trust your reflection, your plans, your research, your meetings, and your team, and take the plunge. 


The next step is to jump in. 


Every day, you are losing your ideal clients because your problems are persisting, even though you know what it takes to fix them. Each time someone doesn't stick around because of your website or lack of follow-through, this costs you and your organization. And, as you know better than anyone, it also costs your customers, because you could have helped them and they didn't know it. 


Don't let your hesitancy get in the way of your target audience's success. 


To put it another way, you hold the answers to the questions they're asking. Don't make them wait another day. Let's make space for everyone to flourish, both you and your customers.

It's time your ideal clients hear about it!

We're always telling a story. Whether you're talking to your mom on the phone, or going for a run, or planning a business proposal, you're in the middle of the story of your life. We all know this–we imagine ourselves as the hero of our own story, because, of course, we are. It's our story, after all; we only see things from our perspective, permanently stuck in our own first person narrative with the people around us as side characters, which is why we as humans struggle with practices like empathy, listening, and noticing other people. We are naturally the hero of our own story.

If you're a small business owner, real estate professional, non-profit manager, or even a church pastor, there are a lot of internal pressures demanding your time. You have a ton of responsibilities on your plate–responsibilities that you are designed and cut out for. You have a team of people around you who you hired to do those special skills you hired them for. You're not a marketing specialist, and neither are they. Instead of asking your team to help out in ways they weren't hired for, or burning yourself out because you're overworked and overloaded, hiring a marketing company will free up valuable margin in your life. Not only will it improve the mental health and energy of your team, you'll have access to people with a variety of skills, who are experts in their fields and approach marketing with a strategic confidence rather than frantic, sporadic instagram posts and an outdated website.

What if your community had a simple website about the people you're trying to reach?

Do you ever find yourself wishing there was somewhere for you to rest among like-minded friends and process your journey?

It's a tough pill to swallow, but an important lesson to learn. It's not about your organization, it's about the people you serve. What if your website spoke about them, instead of about you?
