"The hardest thing for me as a people pleaser was to discover my attempts to please everyone caused people to trust me less. That was the thing that made me the most devastated"

I used to be a sold out, all seasons pass People Pleaser. I was terrible at saying no if something wanted it, even if I had no idea how I was going to make it happen. Sometimes it all paid off. Other times, it didn’t. In one of the very first episodes of MAP IT Marketing I shared the story of how I built up our Agency Identify, only to have it all crumble back down in a huge mess. 

At that point I realised that for my life and my business to change, I had to make some changes too. Recognising that my “kind” desire to please everyone was actually not pleasing many people at all was a huge and horrible shock to the system.

 

In the episode I cover the areas that people pleasing can affect in your business from your team, your pricing, your capability, your reputation and more.

This is a super personal and honest story of the battles I’ve had to overcome as I’ve learned to create healthy boundaries that have helped us rebuild our business into one I’m proud of, that delivers on our promises and has an incredible team to help us. 

Saying a big NO to pleasing everyone has allowed me to become more confident in what we do best. As I say on the podcast: " When we're doing the things that we love doing that really light us up, and we put boundaries around our life to allow that to happen that people will respect, then that helps us to be the best gift that we are, we are a gift to the planet, each one of us as a gift to the planet"

Whether you have the same struggles or not, I invite you to learn from my story. 

 

Today we cover
What impact people pleasing had on my team
Why people pleasing limited our ability to be profitable
How people pleasing attracts the wrong types of customers
Why boundaries in business are essential for thriving
What I’ve learned and experienced from dropping the people pleasing.
