#77 ~ ~ Simply Said: Conversations on Business, Life and Living

Well, hello, followers and new followers. I believe in taking intuitive actions when having an intuitive thought.

And lately, I've been having an intuitive thought about bringing back the Alaska Tracy podcast. I created the podcast and had it going for five years. And then I hit pause on it.

Intuitively, topics have been coming to mind over and over and over, as I'm out walking, as I'm growing my business as I'm working with clients. And so I thought because I don't do anything perfectly in business, not sure why I thought a podcast would be any different.

So, here you go - perfectly unscripted or unedited, and no intro!

The goal is to give you tips and tools, and inspiration in business and life that you can use, imperfectly. And so I'm Tracy Roesch, Williams, Executive, business coach, and consultant. And I'm coming to you today to bring you tools and tips that you can use. And maybe some of these tips and tools and inspiration will help you to skip some of the mistakes that I've made, and that clients have made, and help you to propel forward quicker.

My imperfect tip for today is about building relationships. Years and years ago, 23 years ago, when I created with the help of many people helping me my very first business, that business grew and succeeded based on relationships. Relationships that were nurtured over time.

See people work with people that they trust. And people refer people to people that they trust. And trust takes time.

I know we all see people online on social media growing followings and growing six-figure businesses overnight. And I'm here to tell you, that has not been my experience or the experience of the people that I get to work with.

The ones that grow successful businesses, including me, take time and commitment. And that builds trust.

The last several clients that I've had the opportunity to work with, have come to me over the years of watching what I've been doing on social media, and in the community.

Now, every once in a while I do get a random client that finds me on social media, and we have a conversation and they end up working with me. Forsure that happens. Most of the time, the people that connect with me and the people that I work with get to know and trust me first.

How are you creating trust in your life today to attract people that want to work with you?  I would love to know how you're doing it. Or if you need help building real relationships that lead to clients.

I had a potential client conversation recently thinking that social media was where their business would grow. And he said to me, "I hate social media." And I looked him in the eyes and I said, Whoever told you that you had to use social media to grow your business? And then we brainstormed opportunities in his community for how he could get to know people to create relationships to create trust.

How are you creating trust today in your life, that is my tip for the day on the Alaska Tracy Podcast.
