Day 194,
Lesson of the day: Pebble in the shoe.
I am two weeks into a build-your-own-business guided course. The coaches are pretty great. We're working on selecting your niche. On the call that happened today, I was up to bat and discussing with the lead coach, and I noticed that my niches were B2C, while the other participants were giving B2B.
The coach proposed that B2B makes it easier and faster to get to the money.
I responded by bringing up an unconscious inner objection to that because I view businesses and corporations as these hyperprofessional titans that will scrutinize me and pick me apart.
Before any of the coaches can respond, one of the participants - not a coach - chimes in and 'informs' me that I'm letting fear run my decisions... the fuck?
I was basically saying that: "Hey look; seeing as we're on the topic of my foot, I'm noticing that I probably have a pebble in my shoe. Let's examine that and maybe do something about it?"
His response was the equivalent of saying: "It doesn't matter how big or how sharp that rock is; acknowledging the rock is the problem," as though it would be better if I didn't make that discovery about myself.
The coach helped make more sense of it; she did a good job at humanizing businesses as being comprised as people. I brought up another concern about the pressures of delivery, and the potential contractual obligations, and she put those to rest.
Some people are not cut out for coaching, but they still carry their 'coaching knife'.
