Risk a no

Risk a no

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?

Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.
