00:00:10Hi, welcome to today's podcast
-
00:00:13My name is Helen Ross and I will be your host today
-
00:00:17Today on our episode is episode number for, we will be talking about getting comfortable talking about yourself as a business owner
-
00:00:28One thing that you may struggle with early on as you shift into the business ownership is actually owning the part of being a business owner
-
00:00:39It's definitely a weird transition, but well worth the initial struggle
-
00:00:45Most people been a good majority of their lives working for someone else often a huge company
-
00:00:52So maybe used
-
00:00:55So you, so you may be used to referring to yourself as an employee rather than, as a business owner
-
00:01:02This definitely will take some getting used to
-
00:01:05Why is it important to get comfortable in the role of business on her one? Major reason? Is that when you have a business, you need all of the free exposure, you possibly can get that
-
00:01:17Includes being able to share the information in your own words to people you meet and are already know
-
00:01:23Remember you are your best Advocate again, like most people, you probably have spent a lot of time
-
00:01:30Speaking from the perspective of an employee who works for someone else
-
00:01:35Now, you are the person with a company
-
00:01:38So every chance you get you'll want to be letting people know about that
-
00:01:43So that they can pass the word along with your products and services to others who may need them
-
00:01:50Is there an emotional component to this? Why is it initially? So difficult to talk up your business in real life? There may well be, most people feel validated by the idea that they are valued as
-
00:02:05a contributing employee at a company
-
00:02:07So when you take that away and find yourself at the house, All of your own business, you must adjust to the emotional role of providing your own validation because you're not going to get it from
-
00:02:18someone else anymore
-
00:02:19If you're thinking this is about ego
-
00:02:22Yes
-
00:02:23It kind of is a business owner must be strong and self-assured without the need for that constant reinforcement
-
00:02:31That comes from working for someone else or from playing a role as part of a larger functioning entity
-
00:02:38That's what makes it a little bit strange to suddenly have to toot your own horn because essentially that is what you are doing Winston and they're having a conversation and someone suddenly announces that they have
-
00:02:51a need and that need is based on what you have to offer
-
00:02:55So you've got to be assertive
-
00:02:56Your success will depend on your ability to mention this to others
-
00:03:01So they know and you've also got to do it in a way that doesn't make you sound nervous or desperate
-
00:03:07Again, it would take some time for words like my company
-
00:03:11I have a business and I offer services roll off your tongue in an effortless way
-
00:03:17But with practice you will find it easier and easier to let people know that you have a business and you are out there providing and answering to a specific need
-
