TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to the Purpose and Profit Club podcast for nonprofit leaders, mission-driven creatives and social entrepreneurs. Get ready to stop dreaming and start doing. Here. Ideas become action. We prioritize purpose and profit. You ready, let's go? All right, it's part three of the Courage series. Today we're going to talk about success anxiety. So let's unpack this term to begin with. What is success anxiety? How does it come up? for everyone, and what I see in myself and a lot of my clients that I work with, okay, success anxiety can be a flavor of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, that spiraling out when a prospect, when a client, when a major donor, when anyone says yes. So in the last episode we talked about disappointment and rejection. This is like the opposite of that. So that thing, that goal that you've been working towards, that you actually want to happen in the most, you know, deepest part of you. You want it to happen. it happens. The person says, yes, you get the funding, you get the this, you get the that, and then immediately you're like, oh crap, right, and it's this like pit in your stomach. It feels really heavy And instead of feeling celebratory, you actually feel stress. Maybe you feel your nervous system kind of activate, maybe you feel like you know the fight, flight, freeze response. Maybe you feel like I got to get out of here. You feel stressed out And it's counterintuitive because, don't forget, in these scenarios, you've been working towards something. You've been working towards, you know, you've been putting yourself out there, you've been making the daring asks. You've been doing, you know, a campaign you've never done before. You're really putting yourself out there, you're putting your organization out there, you're putting your mission out there And you're putting yourself out there in order to fuel your mission forward, to increase your revenue, to increase your visibility, and it happens And immediately you're like huh and freaked out. Okay, so that's success anxiety. And now go back and listen to episodes one and two of the Courage series. So go back to the previous two episodes where I introduced the concept of the Courage sandwich, if you missed it, because we're going to be talking about how you can deal with success anxiety using a similar concept. So, in the Courage sandwich, we talked about this idea of how you talk to yourself pregame, before that donor meeting leading up to that big meeting with the prospect, post game. Okay, you had the meeting, you had the call, you had the lunch, you submitted the proposal. Whatever the action was how are you talking to yourself post game after and deciding ahead of time how to speak kindly, like your best friend would, or like you might to someone you really love, right, or you might even to a kid, how you would talk to yourself in that same loving, kind energy, versus that self critic, versus why did you say that you shouldn't have said that? that was weird, That sounded weird. You know, somebody said to me yesterday on a coaching call to my client, said they were preparing for a funder meeting and they said, oh, what if I like basically stumble on my words? what if I get tongue tied? And we'd kind of dug into that. So, what if I get tongue tied? Okay, what if you get tongue tied? And it was well. What if I get tongue tied and then I'm not going to seem like I know what the hell I'm talking about, i'm not going to seem professional And I'm like, okay, well, let's, let's talk about that. Humans get tongue tied. I get tongue tied recording this podcast. I get tongue tied having a conversation with my barista. Like it just happens A lot of times. When it happens, i'll just make a joke about it, like, oh, that's why I'm here for coffee because I clearly need another cup. That is lightness, right, that is. It's not a big deal. It's not a reflection on my, my, my value or even my expertise in something. People who are experts in something, people who are amazing or people who are look at me getting tongue tied right now. Right Like people who know what they're talking about and are very, very successful, get tongue tied. It's how they handle it when it happens and then how they talk to it themselves when it happens after it happens. That either gets them back on track or gets them like out of the flow of the conversation or the pitch. It's like just make a joke about it, just keep going, even if you don't want to make a joke, just get back on track. It's like if you're walking down the street and have you ever tripped on nothing, like nothing. You're like there's literally no bump in the road and I managed to trip. I've done this before. It's like okay, and then I'm just going to keep walking. One time I was getting on a swing and I just overshot it and I just fell backwards. I literally just like a playground swing and I don't know what was going on, but I just sat down on the swing and I just sat too far back. So I just like lay it on my butt and then I got up and then I sat back on the swing and started swinging like it wasn't. I don't need to leave the park, i don't need to get, get out of there, everything's fine, just get back on. So let's talk about so. Those are some examples, but we're gonna dig into this idea of success, anxiety and the difference between the two. So success, success, anxiety, maybe imposter syndrome for you. So maybe this idea of like can I even do this? do I even know what I'm qualified? can I? am I the one? and when those thoughts come up for me, i like to just remind myself that I learn through doing, i grow through doing. I'm in the arena. So if it's something that's like an edge for me or an edge for you, where it's like I haven't quite done this before, i've never gotten funding of this size, i've never executed a proposal of this size, i've never brought on a client of this size, right, like, and how I learn how to bring on a client of this size and grow my programs to this size is literally through doing it. There's no other way to do it. I don't need to consume another book or webinar or or certification. Those are just like snacking. Those are like just having little snacks right. The best way to learn how to get past that edge, that next level of your own expertise or growth or scaling, is literally by scaling. So I kind of talk myself through and poke holes into that idea of can I even do this? am I even qualified? I'm like, who decided who's qualified? how does anyone do anything? they usually they. They literally just start right now. Let's let's kind of go to a crazy example now. If somebody said, christina, tomorrow you're going to, um, you're gonna, you're gonna do, you're gonna help assist in this knee surgery, you'd be like you know what? I'm not qualified to help assist in this knee surgery. But if somebody said, tomorrow you're gonna help an organization that has been plateaued at $750,000 for the past three years and I want you to come up with a plan, i want you to teach their organization how to execute. I want to do a comprehensive out of what's working, what's not, and give them exactly what they need to scale to a million this year, can you do it be like, yeah, i got it. Now have I done that exact thing, maybe, maybe not, it doesn't matter, because that's my like zone of genius, right? that's my zone of expertise and the same for you, so it doesn't have to be. It's like am I, is this so out of my wheelhouse that this is knee surgery? no, no, this is in my wheelhouse, right? if you're having these, these prospect beatings, if you're getting the yes, it's because the prospect believes in you, you believe in you, you believe in your mission and a little bit of wobbliness is coming up and that's totally normal, okay. So the next way that I see the success anxiety come up is this is a big one and this hadn't quite. This isn't something I'm I've totally experienced in this way. But one of my clients said this to me and I was like oh, this is good and I bet this comes up for a lot of leaders, a lot of founders was if they say yes, now I kind of owe them, now I feel tied or indebted to them. Right, for them, the, the funder relationship almost felt like a ball and chain, like we're getting married right, and they are now I have to be at the their back and call, right, and that feels really heavy if I brought on a new client and thought, well, great, now, every time you know they send me an email or call or blah, blah, blah, i have to jump right and they could call me at all hours and I have to be on call and I have to do this, right? it's like this heavy, stressful owing indebted to them, and I thought that was really interesting, that that came up and what we explored was like what's what's underneath that? and if that comes up for you, what's underneath that like why would you feel that if somebody made a hundred thousand dollar gift to your organization, or if you had a prospect, come in and you sign a contract for a hundred thousand dollars worth of your services, right, if your impact driven business, right, or maybe at a sale of that much, right, or a series of sales, right, and that heaviness where you're like god, now I have to fulfill it. Right now I have to do this thing that I said I would do. And so I think where people are most wobbly if this is coming up for them is now I have to, now I'm indebted to them, now I feel like I owe them and like the other half of that sentence is and I don't think I can do it, and what if I fail? and what if I can't? and what if? what if it's a failure? right, it's like this fear of failure. That's what's underneath, and if that's you, welcome to the club. Everybody has a fear of failure. I've talked about this idea of main character energy and activating main character energy and finding somebody that is this could be somebody that's a mentor, somebody that is a successful entrepreneur, somebody that's just somebody that you look up to, and sometimes I find it's helpful to say you know, did they ever experience this wobblyness? I wonder if, along the way, they ever experienced this. So, for example, example sometimes they will bring up Sarah Blakely, who is the billionaire founder of Spanx, and she's so hilarious she's. She marches to her own beat, she does not stay in the lanes of like what's normal and what's appropriate. She could be weird and cheeky and air quotes, unprofessional and totally professional. I mean, she's both right. I'm like I wonder if she ever got a huge order from Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom or whoever she was pitching at the time and got the biggest order. And I wonder if she ever said to herself oh crap, can I even do this? and now I feel like I owe them. And maybe that came up for her. But at that point you have like a fork in the road and you can decide I don't know, i don't know if I can even do this, but I'm gonna try or no. I don't owe them. I'm not married to them. I'm not indebted to them. They're they're a partner in this journey. They are. This is reciprocal. They are helping my business or organization grow and I am helping their business or organization grow. So in the Spanx example, like it's a win-win for her to fulfill this order get the, the store or online store shelves stocked, get those puppies sold. Right, no one's indebted to the other person. I think it's really important to like parse out the difference between Sometimes those thoughts or even deep rooted money beliefs, in this case, that are coming up for people when they get a big surge of funding or sales. Okay, and to remember, this is a business, this isn't me, i'm not selling me, okay. So in this example, my client felt like this heaviness around if I pitch this potential donor, get a significant gift, now I'm at their beck and call. Okay, is that true? Like just kind of poke some holes in it. Is it true? I don't think it's true. And, by the way, if somebody gives you, gives your organization, a major donation, major gift and commits to that, i don't think they want to call you all the time Like they're busy, and so reminding yourself of like, okay, does this person really want to to, to call me all the time? Or is that just that wobbly shaky fear coming up, okay, and reminding yourself, okay, let's, let's play this out, let's say they do and they're like I want to report and I want a meeting and I want this and I want this. Often You get to actually say yes or no. You get to have a system in place that says you know what? This is how we handle gifts of this size. I would love to tell you what we're working on. You know, in this, in this frequency, this cadence, and you get to say yes or no. Many, many founders struggle with this because it's the first time they're doing it, it's the first time that they've been in this position, and they forget that they get to create a process that works for them And then they get to let the client, prospect, funder know this is the process And then that person can say, hey, can we actually do it at this frequency? And then you get to say yes or no, like in my. In my own business there was a time where I was doing a lot more done for you services years ago And we would have different clients want different reporting, different metrics, different check-in calls. Some people wanted a check-in call every Monday. Some people wanted a check-in call Never. Some people wanted a you know a report at this frequency. And then I would have clients that would say we do our reporting this way, it has to be on an Excel sheet And guess what? I could say Amazing, And this is the frequency that you'll get your reports in this way. And then I get to choose if I want to adapt anything to make sure they have what they need, or I get to just say no, no, and reminding yourself all along the way this is a choice. And am I saying no because I'm scared or am I saying no because this isn't part of my process? This isn't part of an SOP? This is not how we report to our funders, this is not how we report to our clients. And I find when you have a clear process and you have the confidence and you tell the client here's what we do, here's what it looks like Here's what you can expect And there's confidence behind it. They're like oh my gosh got it. Okay. And I remember one in particular. That was this really clunky, antiquated report and they wanted it frequently. And I was like we can do this fork in the road. It's going to cost you double because of the amount of time. And instead of just saying that, i said here's why you don't need it, here's what you need instead. And it was like let me get approval for that Amazing Right, having the confidence to be like oh right, i'm not tied to them, this is a partnership, this is reciprocal. What's in their best interest? Is it in their best interest? Is it in your funders best interest that they hear from you every other day? No, otherwise, they would be part of your staff. Remind them of that. You're trusting me. You're trusting me because you believe in our organization. You're going to allow me to lead. I got you. I got you. Okay, that's the example of owing them, feeling indebted. Okay, then, different coaching client We're going through their prospect list and looking at some untapped revenue sources and working on increasing gift size And ooh, it's so fun. And I was talking to her about this very series, and I was talking to her about the courage sandwich and then handling rejection and disappointment, which that particular one I've gotten a ton of feedback on, and to the point where I'm like I didn't realize so many people felt this way too And felt the way where they're like this is a shoe in, and then they get the rejection email and then they just feel like they're just a puddle Right. And then I said to her the next part of the series is a society of success anxiety and feeling just insecure when you get the yes. And I said you don't have that, i don't think you have that Right. And she said, christina, i have all of the anxieties, i have all of the, you know right, i have all of the if it's, if there is a point throughout this funder journey. But there is an opportunity to be anxious and doubtful. I got it And I was like I laughed because I was like, oh right, again, we all experienced this. If you're a founder, if you're a leader, if you're putting yourself on a plate to say, to hear a yes or no, there's gonna, there's gonna be that wobbliness, there's gonna be that shakiness. Okay, so I want to go through how to handle success anxiety, The first step, and I'm going to give you seven steps or seven ideas that you can use if this comes up for you. The first thing is I want you to plan your before and after. So, the same way that we talked about with the courage sandwich like, how are you going to talk to yourself before you make the pitch and after you make the pitch, i actually want you to plan in this case of, like, how am I going to handle that shakiness, that success anxiety, if it comes up? Okay, how am I going to handle it? So let's dig into how you could handle it. So I want you to poke some holes, just like I showed you earlier, which is is that even true? Like, whatever your flavor of it is, is it you know I'm going to feel indebted or I'm just going to fail? Right, can I even do this? Or this is just a one time thing? I think the other shoe is going to drop. That's a lot Like. This is a fluke, that's a success anxiety. Thought right Of. They said yes, but this is a fluke. I'll never be able to replicate this again. Right? This is a one time thing. So, if that's your flavor, poke holes in that one, right, how is that? First of all, how is that helpful to even believe that's not helpful? Right, you get the most funding, the most yeses, the most whatever to date. And your thought is well, this is a fluke, this is a one time thing. I'm not going to be able to to sustain this, so to that I would. I'm like literally having a conversation with myself when this stuff comes up. I'm like, okay, what if it's not? What if this is, this is just the new normal? What if this is just Not a fluke? What if I'm pretty good at this? what if more clients or funders come? How could that be true? So you just want to like kind of it's. I'm imagining like a Frisbee and instead of a boomerang, so the idea of this, this thought, that's not helpful. Which is, what is what if? what if this is a fluke? instead of like that thought comes in and then it boomerangs back at you and sticks right on you, i'm gonna Frisbee that one out and instead kind of Frisbee back, like, oh, what if it's not? what if it's not? have some lightness to it? So plan your before and after, plan those for those thoughts to come up, and that's maybe the first step. Right is hey, it's kind of normal and nothing's gone wrong If some of these thoughts come up, okay. Second thing celebrate the yes, celebrate the win, celebrate the, whatever the outcome you want, it happened. And do not take seven seconds to celebrate it and then go back to your day like really celebrate it. That's something that I've been working on for probably four or five years, because what I noticed was that thing I was working towards, i would get the yes, i would feel good for you know a second And I just go back to my day. That's not fun. You guys just stop fun. That is not how we enjoy the journey. Okay, so here's what it looks like to celebrate the yes and celebrate the win in the moment. Yes, celebrate it, feel it, smile, jump up and down, Do dance, call your mom, text your best friend, whatever it is. I got it. They said yes, what's up? me, fox or your coach, we want to hear this stuff. Have somebody who can celebrate with you. And then I know you got to go back to your day. You're going to go back to your day and then later that night or the next morning celebrate it again, like, close your eyes, remind yourself like I fucking did this, this is happening. They said, yes, like, celebrate it, think about it often and celebrate it. So it's like going back to it. We're like, oh, that's good, right, okay. Third step Think about somebody you admire, again, mentor, thought leader, famous person, doesn't matter. How would they talk to them? How would they talk themselves through it? So, when it feels either sticky, wobbly, shaky, be like, hmm, what would Sarah Blakely do? Or maybe for me, like how did my dad handle this? Oh, he wouldn't. He probably wouldn't feel shaky or wobbly. What would he say? How would he talk to himself? Okay, and then remind yourself about somebody you admire. If they weren't shaky or wobbly again, how would they celebrate it? How would they feel about it? So I feel like they shout it from the rooftops, they'd announce it. There would be, even if it's announcing it to your partner, your friends, your family, like whatever, saying it out loud to yourself you did it Right. How would they talk? Like, how would they savor in that moment? Okay, and how would they handle just kind of step into their shoes? How would they handle any anxiety that started to drum up? Fourth step Work on your self belief, or at least your mission belief. Okay, so self belief is the can I even do this? So I want you to work on like. Write a list of 10 reasons why you're the perfect person to do this, why you can do this, 10 reasons why Like no, i am, i don't need another certification. Sometimes I see people ask for, like, should I get certified in this? Or do I need to get this, this course certification? I'm like, i think you need to go out there and take the daring action, right? I think you probably already know what to say and how to say it. You just need to drum up that self belief. So write a list of 10 reasons why you're the perfect person to do this Right, even if it's 10 small reasons. It doesn't have to be because I have a PhD and blah, blah, blah. Right, it's just. I know what I'm talking about. And when the self belief feels still a little wobbly, believe in your mission 150%. Why is it that your organization, like, is amazing at the problem we solve? Right? Think about that mission, like. Work on that belief in your mission. Belief and for my for profits, or my consultants or my course creators, work on your belief in your mission. What is it you're trying to do Right? So, even if you feel a little shaky of like, can I, am I the one work on? Okay, what is the transformation that my clients or customers get? Right, talk about that mission. Right, what is it there they really want And how are you helping them get there? Okay, number five remind yourself that you're in their arena. Okay, brene Brown talks about this when her critics come a, come a rumbling and they love trolling the comment section and they love telling her you know well, actually you're kind of wrong about this or actually you didn't know, right. Okay, so you know I'm a critic, critic city. Okay, she reminds herself. Number one are these people whose opinions I trust? because she I think it's her that keeps on a post it? note the five people. Those are the people who they can tell me you got this wrong, brene, or I think off here. Brene, whose opinions do I trust? Are you, are, is the general public on that post it note? No, on that list, no. The second thing she does is she says I'm in the fucking arena. You come on stage, you do this, you pitch the funder, you sell the course, you sell your services. Then come talk to me, come be a critic, right? so remind yourself I'm in the arena, i'm doing this And success. Anxiety comes up very commonly when people are in the arena and this is just part of the deal and I'm here for it, like I remind myself every day. And something feels like nerves when it feels like I just feel nervous. Right, that I'm like, ooh, the nervousness means many times I'm in the arena, right, it's supposed to feel a little nervous. I'm not supposed to feel 150% confident all of the time. And when I notice that I'm in the arena, I actually am pretty proud of myself that I'm like I'm in the arena more. It's a compounds, year over year over year. 10 years ago is I had my my pinky toe in the arena. Right now I'm fully in the arena. Okay. Step six Worst case scenario. Okay, so if you're somebody who's catastrophizing, so if you are going, i'm going to owe them. I don't know if I can do this. What if I fail? I feel indebted to them And all those. Those are like vague self critical thoughts, of vague anxious thoughts. Okay, so if those come up, i actually want you to go to worst case scenario and for me and for many people, that can really help like depressurize, diffuse how you're feeling. So I remember years ago, the first time I ever sent out a proposal for like five figures. It was a big proposal And I was like, oh, can I even do this? And that that shakiness really came up And I decided to go to worst case scenario and I said to myself, ok, worst case scenario, i can't do this, it's a total dumpster fire and I can't do this and I fail. Okay, i went ahead and played that out in my head And what I? I could barely finish the words because I said to myself that's never happened. I've never had a client say this was a dumpster fire, what the hell. But I needed to actually say that to myself and like I actually wrote it down and was doing some journaling of like just to prove to myself Number one, that's never happened. The second thing that I did is I was like I would never, ever run my business where a client said I'm so, so unhappy And how could you? I would always make it right. Make it right means listening to the client along the way if they needed something and I wasn't giving to them, making sure that if that meant I needed to bring on an expert or contractor to execute some part of it. I would always do that if I needed to pause the contract, if I needed to to cancel it. Whatever it was, i'm all in, i'm open to it. Right, i would never just be like dumpster fire by good luck, right, and that really helped me go. Oh right, the thing that I'm scared of I would never like follow through on on that journey. It's like I would never take myself and my client to the destination where everybody is really unhappy. We would know right out of the gate something's miss and get back on track, or we would say you know what? this isn't a good fit. And then it was like. I was like oh right, light, light, light, light, right, light, light, light. It felt so much lighter when I was like right, i'm not, i'm not like seat belting myself on a roller coaster. Right, i'm on the driver's seat, i can get on or off if I want to, right, because in fact this isn't even a roller coaster. Right, just driving a car. And if I want to change routes or park the car all together, those are choices that I can make. Okay, and the same thing is for you. So if this is a funder, and you're like what if we can't and I feel indebted like really play that out. First of all, how are we spending this money? How are we reporting that we're spending this money? What is the funder's expectations? Have I said, sold them the moon and stars and we're going to solve this entire problem with this one gift? Okay, let me come back to earth. And why did I do that? And how do I bring it back to the reality and the truth? right, when you tell people the truth and when there's confidence about that, here's what your gift can do. Here's what I can do for you. They're along for their journey. I've never had a client who's like you know what, in this four month term, you're going to solve all my problems, right? So no one's expecting that. So don't sell that, right? Okay? So play out worst case scenario and number seven, and maybe, if you do none of these steps, i want you to just do number seven. Number seven is the most important one. And number six I want you to spend like 10 minutes on and get it out of there. Don't spend a lot of time on worst case scenario, because it's not helpful. We just need to, like, see what's happening in your brain and then move on. Number seven the best case scenario. I want you to think about ruminate on journal, about go for a walk and just kind of just daydream about best case scenario 10x as much as you do any of the other things. Okay, because this is something we very rarely do. We very rarely spend a lot of time daydreaming about the best case scenario. And remember when I was talking about this idea of like people you admire mentors, etc. Successful folks you know what they do. They are constantly visualizing their best case scenario. Without a doubt, sarah Blakely was like this is the thing And I just need to get it in store so people can buy it. I just need to get these footless pantyhose on shelves because this is what people want, right? She wasn't like what if they hate them? What if they are uncomfortable? What if I can't find a blah blah, blah, right? What if Neiman Marcus doesn't sell any like not useful, that's not productive, that feels heavy, that feels pretty terrible. No doubt she was spending a ton of time in the glasses half full in the optimism of the best case scenario. So I want you to write out and spend some time. I'm like what's the best case scenario here? You get the funding, you get the guess, the person says yes. Now what happens? And I'll give you some hints. One thing is, if you feel like something that came up for you is like this was a fluke, this was a one time thing, i want you to work on thinking about how this isn't a fluke, how this person is going to be loyal and come back year after year after year And you know what's even better than that They're going to refer you people. So if you're a for-profit, they're going to refer you clients. They're going to refer you out. And if you're a nonprofit, guess who? they're going to refer you to People. They know More funders, right? How does it compound what's the best case scenario? Okay, that's what I've got for you today. I hope this was helpful. So, success, anxiety totally normal part of the deal. Work on poking holes in it. Work on asking yourself how it's probably not true identifying why you're thinking in the first place. One, because that's super normal, we all kind of do. Two, because we're just scared. We're scared of failing, we're scared of it. But when you realize that failing or the fear of failing is part of how you grow, literally you have to be in the arena. And when you're in the arena, there's going to be some thoughts about failing. It's not a problem, right, it's okay. Work on what's the best case scenario. Think about it often. If you're in the car and you're just driving, think about what's my best case scenario here, not of the drive, but of the thing you're working towards. Visualize it Really. Start to picture it. What's next? Another client of mine is working on buying a building Actually, two are. Start picturing the building. Picturing the building. Oh, it's over here. I can picture what the exterior looks like. Ooh, what am I going to do on the interior? What are the different rooms going to be like? Really picture the building. You would be surprised how much that will fuel and propel your success forward. All right, next week we're going to talk about troubleshooting.
