Are you a pushy? Ask yourself that question. The other day I was talking to a very good friend of mine and she said she could not do what I do because she is not pushy. At first I was a little offended, but then I asked her more questions to find out what she met. She said that she couldn't talk to people like I do or go up to strangers and talk to them. I asked her, if she was me how she would get business? She said that she would hope that customers would just find her website. This got me to thinking about how I market my business. Do you sit and wait for the business to come to you?

Sometimes the biggest fear we have is what other people think of us. Do you ask your self, will they think I am pushy? What will they think of me? Will they say no? What will I do if they say no? What if? What if? What if? Are these questions holding you back? Are you afraid that you may appear pushy by offering someone the opportunity of knowing what you do, or offering them the opportunity to purchase what you have? Do you wonder what that person is going to think of you, before you even offer them what you have? Is the fear of what this stranger thinks of you so important that you that you say nothing. If you do nothing what do you get? NOTHING! Are you hoping that the right customers will come your way, or are you like me a "pushy person".

Lets examine this a different way. Suppose you want to catch a hummingbird. You have a beautiful garden full of flowers and even a hummingbird feeder. You have set a goal to catch a hummingbird. You sit in your beautiful garden and wait. No hummingbirds are coming to your garden. Are you doing something wrong? You have a garden full of flowerers just for them. Where are all the hummingbirds? You know there are lots of them. You know that they would just love your garden. Why don't they come to your garden and take what you have to offer. What would happen if you let all those hummingbirds know where you are and how to get to you? What if you reminded these hummingbirds on a consistent basis that you would love to have them come to your beautiful garden to take what you have? What if you went out to meet the hummingbirds and told them how to find your garden? What if you showed them the way?

You see you can have the greatest product in the world, but if you just sit and wait and hope, it will be difficult almost impossible for people to find you. Become a pushy person; tell everyone what you have and where to find it. Talk to everyone about
