The fear of sending too many emails is real ๐ณ ๐ซ
Hey Reader,
โ
You were told to send 6 emails in 5 days for your upcoming launch.
Your inner voice whisper screams, โI canโt send that many emails.โ
Your breathing is shallow and quick. You're in full-on fear mode.
This is a typical scenario with our clients.
They want to launch. They want to make money.
They just donโt want to bother anyone in the process.
The patriarchy strikes again.
As young girls, we were socialized to doubt ourselves constantly and that external opinions matter most.
๐ง๐ป Donโt bother people.
๐ง๐พ Shhh, stay quiet.
๐ง๐ป Comb your hair.
๐ง๐ผ Stay out of the way.
๐ง๐พ Smile, sweetie
๐ง๐พ Donโt outshine your brother.
๐ง๐ป Be a good girl.
Everyone elseโs needs, opinions, and emotions are more important than yours.
Hereโs the problem-- With this internalized belief of "keep everyone happy" silently running the show, you don't get far with sending emails because the fear of displeasing someone brings you to a screeching halt.
โWhat if theyโre annoyed, irritated or perturbed?โ
โWhat if they think my work isnโt good?โ
โWhat if they read my email and think โStop sending me this garbageโ?
You believe that staying under some undefined (and imagined) threshold of email sending will keep your audience pleased with you.
And if you keep your audience pleased, then you're safe.
You may feel better emotionally, but your revenue suffers because no one knows who you help or what you sell.
Your potential clients buy from emails they're reading in their inboxes sent by those who believe their value is not linked with external approval.
What's a girl to do?
Ditch the beliefs that you were taught as a young girl.
Those good girl rules are now relics from your childhood. They no longer apply. Acknowledge the rules for the important role in your childhood, but step fully into an I-send-a-lot-of-emails-because-I'm-a-badass-CEO belief.
๐ซ You send emails to connect with those who need your program most.
โ
๐ซ You always take care of yourself and your financial well-being, and that includes sending emails.
๐ซ The emails you send land in the inboxes of people searching for your solution who're thrilled to read them.
๐ซ You don't make marketing decisions based on those who would never buy. Ever.
โ
Frankly, the patriarchy doesn't want you sending emails in the same way it doesn't want women to apply for C-level jobs or have the skills to negotiate for a higher salary. It would like us to stay quiet, smiling, with perfectly coifed hair and the fear of God in our hearts about bothering people.
Not on my watch.
โ
Send the damn emails.
Send lots of them.
And make lots of money.

p.s. NEW! I'll be sending bi-weekly notes on online business. I'm fascinated by women building businesses and the beliefs that get in their way. There's a reason you're confused, stuck, doubtful or overwhelmed, and I'm going to explain why. If your revenue is right where you want it to be, feel free to unsubscribe. If you want more from yourself and your business, stick around. ๐

p.p.s. Ready to break through your revenue ceiling? In our Luminaries program, we coach women on making more money in their businesses (part of it is becoming more opera-star-like). Get on the waitlist here to be notified when doors open next.

Hey Reader, You don't need to think for your students. Here's what I mean:๐ Teacher Sally booked all her student's classes for them. She didn't want them to go through the effort of clicking to sign up for their next class. ๐ Teacher Jane planned a 4-month launch so that the launch emails were spaced out over a long period of time. She didn't want to annoy her audience with frequent emails. ๐ Teacher Ann priced her course so low that she had to take a part-time job to survive. She didn't want...
Hey Reader, Six-figures. The sought-after revenue goal with two commas and five plump, confident-building zeros. I'm working on some material around changes you need to make to earn six figures (which will be showing up in your inbox soon), and it occurred to me that many of you may have already made six figures."Whaaat?"I know!That's why I had to send this sooner than later. When you hear "make six figures," my guess is that you think of making one hundred thousand in a one-year period, as...
Hi Reader, I witness this strange phenomenon every Tuesday. As part of our Luminaries coaching program, I critique sales emails written by women trying to sell their online programs. Their first drafts often come across as if they're knocking gently on someone's office door and asking in a soft voice, "Oh, hey, hi there. Sorry to bother you, but do you have a minute to listen to my idea? If not, I can come back later." The "office, "of course, is the inbox of their readers. Their whispery...
