This is a YouTube video titled "How More Competitors Make Me More Money" featuring Beverley Simpson delivering a solo talk recorded in January 2025. In this motivational and educational content, Beverley shares personal insights and mindset shifts about competition in the online coaching space, particularly on Instagram, encouraging viewers to embrace competitors as opportunities rather than threats.
What's up, Coach? Today we're diving into one of the common topics that I hear a lot and that honestly, I felt as well for a long period of time. So if that's you, you're not alone. But if you've been feeling like the market's just too saturated for you to actually get in and make a difference in the online space and specifically on Instagram, then this episode is for you. Today I'm going to show you how to shift your perspective and how to really look into how to use what's already there, your competitors or colleagues, however you want to frame it in turn to help you make more money. Because the truth of the matter is having more people on the platform who do what you do is a good thing. And I'm about to show you why. Now, this is something I was actually just sharing with my accelerators on the mindset call or our energy management call, because I was sharing that I am someone who is super passionate about education. I'm really passionate about coaching, and it's a really easy for me to dive into a lot of teaching, do this, do this, do this, do this. And one of the hardest things that is hard for me specifically is to just really crack open a sense of vulnerability to. To share with you a little bit about what it is that I go through and give you insights into me as the human versus, you know, just me as the. And me as the human. Me and me as the business owner. Rather than just sharing so much about what to do in the educational component and why I'm right, I was sharing with the accelerators that it comes, you know, it comes from a place of trying to be protective, trying to prove myself after growing up in a. In a very amazing household, but. But critical. So. So sometimes it's very hard for me to share stories with because there's also parts of me that feel like I don't want to show a hint of weakness, a hint of, oh, maybe she doesn't know what she's doing. Because for me, it feels like a door or area of opportunity to expose and open myself up for, or for criticism or for. Whatever. It's. It's my protective shield. However, I'm sharing this with you because it's part of my breakthrough in this topic, specifically around competition or feeling like there's too much noise or feeling like, why even bother when. When there's someone out there already who's smarter, better, whatever name, name it better than me. And I'm sharing this because of three main points, because I Think that this is the high achiever Achilles heel, if you will. If you're like me and you're like our accelerator coaches, you are likely a super high achiever. Which means that you, you just keep moving the goal post. You, you get a goal and then you move the goalpost and you just keep seeing how all these areas of opportunity, which is such a good thing, I don't want to take that away. And there's room to continue to achieve without acknowledging all of what you have already done, which happens to, to me and to so many people. And I think part of what drives that, at least for me, is this. Drives to prove this, want to prove this, this. Let me show you how, how amazing it can be. And while all of that is true, it's not coming from this place of, of I, I need to prove it to, to demonstrate my worth. Because once I do this, then I'll be X. Whatever noise usually gets into a lot of high achievers mind. So if that's you, you're not alone. I'm bringing this up because it's really important because when I, while I was going through all of that, those experiences, part of what kept showing up for me was, well, this person's doing that, this person's doing this. And it kept feeling like, oh, I can't. Who am I to be doing this? I can't be sharing that, I can't be doing that because so and so is already doing it. Or, you know, whatever the case may be. It wasn't until I made these three important shifts that we're gonna break down in the episode today that I started to release any of the competitive nature or feeling like there wasn't enough that I started to really get the results that I wanted and I started. And in order to get those results, it required me to show up in a way that I hadn't really been honest with myself about showing up in. And we're going to talk about that.
