The band Metallica has become one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time. They’ve won nine Grammy Awards from 23 nominations, and their last six albums have consecutively debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. They rank as one of the most commercially successful bands of all time, having sold over 125 million albums worldwide.
They once performed in Moscow to a crowd of 1.6 million people!
At the top is a photo when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Now look at the photo below. That’s the band in 1983…
Everyone more successful than you today was once less successful than you can imagine.
My first ever client paid me $10 a month. I made $4,500 in my first year of coaching. I was once fired by a client by trying to berate her over email for missing a coaching session. I once received an unexpected $300,000 tax bill and ended up with over $100K in credit card debt, trying to pay it off. I now have 40,000+ people who read my newsletter or who follow me online but there was a day when my newsletter had only one subscriber. I have a top rated podcast but my first ever episode had only a handful of listeners. My book, The Prosperous Coach, has sold over 100,000 copies but in its first month it sold only 20 copies.
Your clients need you. Get out of your own way. For their sake.
Stop comparing yourself with others and go do what you need to do, right now.
Serving one person powerfully is always a safe bet.
Love. Rich
