Spiritual Biz Pep Talk: The Things Distracting You From Making More Sales Right Now

I've got a spicy little pep talk for you today. This one's for you if you're feeling like you're not making as many sales as you want to be right now.

I've had so many conversations with clients and women in my community lately where what they really want is more sales. And as I'm having these conversations, I keep seeing the same patterns come up again and again – distractions pulling focus away from what actually creates sales.

If you're wanting to make more sales right now, you need to be focusing on the right things.

Why You Might Be Fixing The Wrong Problem In Your Business

One of the big things I see is people going for the surface-level fix instead of diagnosing the actual problem. Looking for the shortcut, and as a result, fixing the wrong things.

For example, there's a story in the online space that if you're not pumping out a lot of content quickly, then you're doing something wrong. And often the solution that’s presented to us is to start using AI to create content faster.

This one's sneaky, because content is one of those things so many business owners find challenging. I know you didn't get into business to become a content creator, but you know it's important, so you want the shortcut.

But if you're not making as many sales as you'd like right now, producing more content isn't likely to solve that problem.

I'd suggest starting with your messaging instead. Understanding your ideal client, where she's at right now, what she's desiring and wanting, and how your offer solves the problem she has. Why you're the person to solve it, and why she needs it solved now rather than later down the track.

Now this is just one example. I see the same pattern with people doing things like:

• Creating another new freebie because they think their current one isn't working.

• Or launching a new offer without understanding why the current one isn't selling. 

• Or with AI, implementing tools they very likely don't need.

It can feel like you’re being productive, but it isn't actually moving the needle.

A big part of the work I do with clients is diagnosing the actual problem before we create the solution.

Our time is precious. Before you create something new or start pumping out more content hoping it'll increase sales, diagnose the actual problem first.

Why Second-Guessing Your Strategy Mid-Launch Is Costing You Sales

Something else I'm seeing right now is people second-guessing their strategy mid-flight.

You've got a plan – maybe you're going into a launch – but then a week into implementing it, you hit your first roadblock and you start questioning everything.

Maybe you see someone else running a waitlist, and then another doing a free masterclass, and then someone else running a three-day challenge, and suddenly it's – “do I need to be doing that too?”

It's not that those strategies aren’t good or that considering other options is bad.

But you don't need to be adding in things unnecessarily, or constantly comparing yourself to what everyone else is doing, or being swayed this way or that because someone else is doing it and it must be the thing you're missing.

You need to stop second-guessing yourself and the decisions you've made. Stick to the plan, and stay grounded and focused on what you're here to do. There is no right or wrong way to go about this. There is just your way, and what you've decided to do.

Why You're Doing Everything Except Actually Selling

The other thing I see people doing right now, and it's a big one, is doing absolutely anything and everything in their business except actually selling.

Creating content, tweaking their website, setting up systems, creating freebies, looking busy. They’re doing all of that.

But making the offer? Having the conversation? Asking for the sale? Following up? Not so much.

It's sometimes as if people will do anything to avoid having to sell. 

I know it can feel easier to stay busy with things that feel productive but don't require you to put yourself out there and say: “here's what I have, here's who it's for, here's your next step and how you can buy from me.” 

When clients ask me what more they could be doing to make sales, the answer is usually more conversations and making sure you’re following up. People avoid following up like the actual plague. 

But content and conversations – that's always the focus when it comes to sales.

If you're not consistently making offers, in your content, in your conversations, in your emails, you're not going to make consistent sales. It's as simple as that. You need to be selling more and making it a priority every single day.

Start prioritising sales as one of the first things you do every day. Make it a habit. The more you do it, the easier it gets, the less uncomfy it becomes, and maybe you'll actually start to enjoy it. I've had clients tell me they've changed their whole relationship with sales completely. It's possible.

Stop Getting Distracted & Start Making Sales

So that's it. The three things distracting you from making more sales right now. Fixing the wrong things. Second-guessing your strategy mid-flight. Doing everything except actually selling your offers.

Your offers are amazing. You are amazing. And people deserve the chance to experience your magic – so you’ve got to stop doing this:

• Fixing the wrong things – make sure you diagnose the problem first.

• Second guessing your strategy mid-flight – and instead follow the plan and strategy you’ve already decided on.

• Doing everything except actually selling your offers – and start prioritising sales every day.

This is exactly what I help my clients do inside the Spiritual Business Mistressmind – and the doors are open right now. 

Inside, I'll support you to get clear on your signature offer, build a repeatable sales system that brings in consistent income, and step into the leader you know you're here to be. The one who shows up and sells with confidence.
