What Would A Business Owner Think? By Donnie Boivin
I Why weren’t people knocking down my door to do business? I‘m fucking good at what I do.
’m sorry babe I’m failing and this is not working, we might lose it all. This was me slumped shoulders eyes down explaining to my wife that I had fucked up, and had not been successful in the business. I had blown through or reserve saving and literally bet the farm and was about to lose it all. I couldn’t figure it out. I had created a business. I had a website. I had a ton of social media content out there. I had a badass message why the fuck wasn’t this working? Why weren’t people knocking down my door to do business? I‘m fucking good at what I do. I’ve told this story in front of many audiences, on podcasts and interviews. I still think about that moment in shock about how close I was to losing it all.

Heres the thing; it wasn’t that I wasn’t doing a lot of the right things - I was. It wasn’t that I wasn’t putting myself out there - I was It was that I wasn’t doing the sales activities - I was. What I wasn’t doing was thinking like a business owner. I didn’t know how or really what that even meant. I was throwing a bunch of shit at the wall and hoping something would stick and somehow magically this would all take off. My mindset was in a constant state I have to do this, I have to that. Where do I find time to do this and that? I was telling myself I neede more revenue to get to the next level. I need more time to get stuff done. I was literally telling the universe that I didn’t know what the hell I was doing; and I was proving it daily. I was trying to be a business owner but I was thinking like an employee. Daydreaming about being on big stages, being recognized in crowds. Working hard getting stuff done day and day out. But I wasn’t pulling my head out the clouds and building a business. I was doing things to make myself feel like I was working when in fact it was busy work just like when I was an employee. And I was doing this alone…
