As a tech + startup girly…

This concept changed my entire mindset around tasks.

Today’s sponsor ❤️ 

Say goodbye to email overwhelm

Your email’s piling up…it’s overwhelming admin work you don’t wanna do.

Here’s how Forage helps automatically:

• Important emails are highlighted

• Distracting emails are swept into a daily summary email

• Clear out all your unread emails (bulk unsub) (hopefully not from my newsletter tho right? 🥺)

Apply sales tactics to your tasks

Because think about it…

You have all these objections:

• Don’t have time

• Don’t know where to start

• Don’t have energy

• It’s too boring

If you were selling something, how would you do objection handling here?

• Don’t have time → takes 2 min

• Don’t know where to start → just guess and go from there - make it easy

• Don’t have energy → do the bare minimum (Minimum Viable Action)

• Too boring → set a timer so you only suffer for that amount of time

Make it such a good offer that it’s hard to say no.

Example: my marathon training

My excuses:

• I don’t wanna run in the rain

• I don’t have a treadmill for indoor running

• I don’t wanna go outside (it’s dark)

• I don’t wanna change

• I don’t have time to run 1 hr daily

Salesperson Jen doing objection handling:

• Indoor running with no treadmill → just run in circles in my house

• Don’t wanna change → run in my PJs

• Only run for like 2 min

So that’s how I ended up running in circles around my house in my PJs at 10pm.

Level up over time

Soon, 2 min runs indoors were too easy.

But I already got into the habit every day…

So I slowly built up to running for 1 hour outside every day.

Because I made it fun and easy to take action towards my goals.

What about you?

What’s an objection you have that you could overcome?

Til next Monday,

Jennifer
