Risk a no

After a 19-year career in financial services, Jim left a leadership position to focus on health and fitness. Jim is a Master Practitioner of Applied Movement Neurology and holds Certificates in Applied Functional Science and 3DMAPS from the Gray Institute. His passion is empowering people to help resolve the pain, tension and insomnia that prevents them from living well.

One of the challenges of building a small business is staying in the minds of your clients. It’s a balance of reminding people you are there to help without coming across as spammy.

One hand, I worry that I will bother people so my instinct is to leave them alone. On the other hand, if people have had good results, maybe they will appreciate a nudge.

When I’ve overcome my resistance, some people seemed happy enough for a message. They booked sessions or attended a workshop. If you ask in good faith if people need help, maybe they give you the benefit of the doubt.

Do you ask and risk a no or avoid the risk by not asking?

    It’s usually a “win:win” to reach out.
    It just takes courage, strength, faith & heart.
    I try.

      Yes, courage is the key for me. It always seems easier in hindsight than it felt beforehand.
