Small Business Coaching on Self Employment - Your Freedom In 5Ds [Cont'd]

By Allison Babb

Deliver

When you have declared that you are in business, then it’s time to deliver. Like the famous Nike ad said, “Just do it!” This means, find your first customer and deliver your product or service. Sometimes this means choosing 5 people and giving your service to them for a specific period of time (typically 2-3 months) for free. In exchange they give you their feedback or testimonials. This gives you an opportunity to test out and tweak the product or service that you have created.

And as I mentioned above, years ago when I declared that I was a Life Coach, I instantly got 4 clients and coached them for 3 months for free. I gained experience and testimonials that I used to create even more business. That experience also helped me to clarify that I actually wanted to become a business coach vs a life coach. This is an evolutionary process. You can expect to evolve and change. Don’t worry if you discover that you’d like to tweak who you are and what your business is. That’s perfectly normal.

Dance

OK, I know you may be saying "Huh?? Dance?" Hey, celebration is part of the process. :-) I love to celebrate. When I said “Goodbye Corporate Job!” did I dance? You bet I did! After delivering your service for the very first time to your very first customer, you’ll definitely do a dance. So here’s to creating your freedom in 5Ds. :-)
