Brittany is an Army vet. living in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I first met her during a personal development meetup group where she walked in about 20 minutes late. As she was crossing between the presenter and the 10 other attendees, she shielded her face and eyes so nobody could see her.
The presenter called her in front of the audience, teasing her and putting her in the 'hot seat' for one of the exercises.
I could sense the anxiety and stress all across her face. She was nervous and couldn't wait to sit down. For the rest of the event, she sat in the back, hiding out of sight. A reminder of how my life used to be when I suffered from social anxiety and never wanted to be the center of attention.
After the event, she says she recognized me from a YouTube video of mine that she saw. This is actually the first time someone in public came up to me and said they recognized me from something they saw on the internet.
We got dinner and drinks together, and I began talking about what I do with personal development. I began telling a lot of stories to her about my experiences and life. On the outside, they were entertaining stories and she enjoyed them, but deep down, they were metaphors that opened up her mind to new insights that I knew would help her life.
I went through a few NLP exercises with her, because she showed an interest in learning.
The following day I thanked her for helping me with something in regards to my relationship life. Her reply:
I saw her again on Thursday at another meetup group.
At this group, she was more outgoing, being sassy and sarcastic with everyone, and at one point was actually enjoying being the center of attention. After talking to her some more, she was saying how she went to a meeting for the real estate company she works for, and while most of the people there were all nervous and shy, her and another one of the agents were the 'alphas' in the room, radiating with confidence.
Reflecting this back to my business:
Problem: People suffer from social anxiety, nervousness, and stress. It impacts their behavior and limits their true experiences in life.
I already have the solution with the skills I've acquired over the years.
How to turn this into a possible branch of my business?
1. Where can I locate people who suffer from this problem?
2. How can I allow them to realize that I can help them very quickly?
3. How can I effectively communicate my value proposition to them, so they will realize that they would be doing themselves a disservice by not working with me to fix this problem for them?
From there, I already have products and services that solve their problem
Things holding me back from acting on this right now...
I got a lot of stuff on my plate already - FOCUS.
