 Note from Joanne

 Hello %$firstname$%

 It’s November already – where did the year go? It's
 finally cool enough to enjoy my outdoor activities
 like hiking and cycling once again. Alexander and I go
 on a morning hike every Saturday; we’re usually joined
 by one or two friends as well. On Sundays we alternate
 hiking with cycling on the tandem with a tandem group.
 Yes, I have slowly become more “social” by doing small
 group activities with people I know, who share similar
 interests. And you know, that’s enough for me. I
 occasionally meet new people through these activities
 too!

 I also joined Weight Watchers (I’m telling you all so
 that you can help keep me on track!). Now that it’s
 public knowledge I’ll have a little extra motivation
 to stay “on program.” So far, it’s not as difficult as
 I thought it would be.

 My message to you: do things (like socializing) your
 way, and don’t make things any more difficult than
 they need to be. Experiment until you find what works
 for you. None of us is perfect (read below).

 Sincerely,
 Joanne Julius Hunold

 Feature Article

 Overcoming Perfectionism – Another Perspective

 [Note from Joanne: In addition to providing my own
 perspective on issues affecting you, I like to pass on
 resources and ideas from others that can help you. In
 fact, one of my favorite things to do is “discover”
 valuable resources and then share my “loot” with you!
 Here’s an article written by a coach I admire Suzanne
 Evans (more about her in my Hype-Free Zone). The
 article is written for coaches, but I believe the
 principles apply to all of us. Hint: substitute
 “finalize your project/presentation” or “launch a new
 initiative” in place of “launch your business.” Enjoy]

 Stop waiting for everything to be ready, perfect, or
 right to launch your business.

 My dad’s a farmer and he always says, “You want to
 know the best way to find out that corn will grow?
 Plant it.” You can prepare and research yourself into
 a corner, but at some point the seed has to hit the
 earth.

 Stop waiting for the website to be perfect or the
 elevator speech to be in place. Quite frankly, stop
 waiting until you finished your coach training. Stop
 waiting for all of that, because you really do already
 know enough to start building your business.

 Here’s a story from my own journey. From the moment I
 started my coach training I started my marketing
 training and I started marketing my business. It’s one
 of the single most important factors to the success I
 have.

 I didn’t hold back. I jumped in and I made terrible
 mistakes. I launched my business anyway and it gave me
 momentum and it gave me some immediate results. I can
 tell you that an entrepreneur making money is more
 effective, productive and motivated than one planning
 to make money. That was huge for me. Just do it
 anyway.

 My marketing mentor and coach right now says, ” If
 anything is worth doing it’s worth doing poorly to
 start with.” I love that and it really is the key.

 The same thing goes for those of you that are telling
 yourself, ” You know, I don’t really know if the time
 is right in my life to start a coach training program.
 I’ve thought about it, but there are the kids and the
 money.”

 There will never be a right time. There’s only right
 now. I highly suggest that you do it anyway and go
 forward. Jump in, because you really don’t know what
 will grow until you plant the seed.

 For me, one of the biggest gifts I can give you in
 terms of marketing your business is: start immediately
 and plant it anyway.

 It’s okay to do things poorly in the beginning. It’s
 okay to do things poorly in the end. We’re always
 growing, developing and trying new things.

 There’s this wonderful quote I read a few weeks ago
 that said: ” The cave that is the scariest to go into
 and the hardest to enter is where your treasure lies.”

 This is a moment for you. Whether you’re already in a
 coach training program and you’re looking at launching
 your business this is a moment, an ” Ah ha, write this
 down, I’m going to do it anyway, I’m going to launch.”

 I’d like to invite you to learn how to help more
 people, make more money and enjoy more freedom with
 the free 5-day mini course, “Awakening Your Authentic
 Entrepreneur,” at

 Joanne Recommends

 I’m continuing to promote my customer survey. I really
 want to know what you want/need!

 For new readers and those who missed the previous
 issue, I am awarding one book of your choice from my
 blog’s Introvert’s Ultimate Reading List to a
 responder chosen at random. I’ve had a few responders,
 and I want to hear from more of you. It’s your chance
 to tell me/ask for what you want (a practice I
 encourage greatly; I’m practicing too).

 Joanne's Hype-Free Zone

 For my solopreneurs readers: Suzanne Evans is a not-
 so-recent find of mine. I’ve been quietly reading her
 biz tips and find that a lot that she says resonates
 with me. She’s not as “hype-y” as a lot of marketing
 coaches out there (and you know how I dislike hype!)
 More recently, I’ve begun to pay more attention to
 what she’s offering.

 Suzanne is conducting a Help More People Tour in
 several cities and I’m attending her event in Los
 Angeles. It’s designed for us small business owners
 who find marketing “yucky” and/or inauthentic. Join
 me? You can get more info by clicking here. Even if
 you can’t attend the event, Suzanne’s preview call is
 f*r*e*e, informative and inspiring.
