Hello and welcome back to the You Can Podcast. It's a show that's all about helping you turn your expertise into income and create a business and life that works for you. I'm Sarah Jolly Jarvis and today we're going to be talking about something that a lot of people come to me and talk through with me. But few are saying it out loud. Few say it in the public domain.
It's done as an announcement after the time. And that is around. Is it time to give up on your business? Is it time to give up on your business dream? Is it time to say, you know what? I quit. I walk away. I'm going to do something different or I'm going to absolutely change what I am doing. I'm not going to stick with my current approach and my current business model.
Now, before we dive into this episode, I want you to know that this one, it might hit close to home, but I promise this isn't going to be a doom and gloom episode. It's about getting clarity because sometimes what feels like a need to give up is actually just a sign you need to tweak things. Things aren't working as they are.
There is no need to explode, press the I'm done button and give up on everything and destroy everything that you've built. Okay, so let's talk about that difference. So to start with guys, let's be honest. There are so many reasons that might make you feel like you want to throw in the towel. Okay. You're tired. You're not making the money you hoped for your latest launch.
flopped your family and friends don't understand they're not supporting you you feel like you're constantly on but on it doing stuff in the business but you're getting nowhere you're kind of like feel like that but kind of busy fool okay if you've ever cried into a laptop or googled jobs near me at 2am in the morning you are not alone we have all been there we've all thought you know what am i doing every single business owner i know has had a moment or a number of moments like that where they've wondered would it be easy to just walk away you know
Is this too much? Have I taken on too much? Can I do this? But here's the truth. Most of those feelings, they are temporary. Yeah, they don't last. It's one of those things that you tend to have a real challenge and a real downtime and then you have a massive breakthrough. It is genuinely such a roller coaster. And that's all part of that entrepreneurial roller coaster.
And those challenges, those times when you think, gosh, I really don't think I can do this. They can be fixed. So let's talk about those times where it's not about quitting. That wouldn't be the solution. It's actually an opportunity to reassess. Okay. It's those, I want to give it moments and why they might not actually mean that it's time to walk away. Okay. You're not making any money now.
That is a really common one. I hear that all the time. People come to me because I can help you with lead generation and converting those leads into paying customers. So especially for the first year or two, it's a very regular problem that people have. And in all honesty,
There are businesses that I've worked with who have been going 10 plus years who are still struggling with inconsistent income because they have inconsistent leads, okay? It just means you haven't found your groove yet. It might be that your message needs tweaking, your offer needs tweaking, you need to look and reassess your audience, you've gone too broad, okay?
