Those of us in service professions like coaching, consulting, healing, or other professional problem solvers start our businesses because we:
- Have been given talents that we love to use and want to use all the time
- Feel called to do the work we do
- Are on a mission to bring about some change in the world
- Have likely figured out a solution to a problem and we want to share that solution with the world
But then we realize we have to figure out how to get clients so we can do that thing we love and do so well.
And it's in that moment that we often come face to face with emotional baggage we never knew we had or baggage we thought we had tucked away in that closet in our mind.
But until we deal with this issue and recognize selling is just helping people make a choice that's best for them, we're left to struggle.
Struggling to make sales means we aren't generating the income we want and need to survive or thrive.
We're not helping ourselves, our families, or the causes we care about.
We're stressed. We're fearful. We can get depressed.
You get the picture.
So we've got to not just figure out the whole sales process. We've got to get comfortable with it and actually embrace it as part of serving others.
That's right. It's part of serving others.
And that's what we're going to focus on in today's episode and why I wanted today's guest on the show.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
