What if feeling uncomfortable in your business isn't a sign that something is wrong?
What if it's actually a sign that you're growing?
In this episode of Grow Your Tutoring Business, Richard explores the uncomfortable parts of running a tutoring business — selling, showing up, following up, raising prices, saying no, investing in yourself and trying something for the first time.
It's easy to tell ourselves we'll take action when we feel more confident. But perhaps we've got it backwards.
Confidence often comes after the action.
Richard explores a simple process:
Discomfort → Action → Evidence → Confidence
He also looks at an important distinction: when should we lean into discomfort, and when is that uncomfortable feeling telling us something doesn't align with our values?
In this episode:
• Why we avoid the things that could actually grow our businesses
• The danger of \"positive procrastination\"
• Why sales and visibility can feel so uncomfortable
• How to distinguish growth discomfort from a values problem
• Why confidence doesn't have to come first
• Learning to say no as a business owner
• Building evidence that you can do difficult things
• Why being kinder to yourself matters when things don't work
You don't need to become fearless.
You just need to become a little more comfortable with being uncomfortable.
