Christine J. Gold shares why people reject her free marketing and sales help: they're in survival mode and can't absorb solutions. She now offers help once or twice, then stops. Her mantra: "I release what's not mine to carry."
Listen up, helpers! Have you ever offered to help someone genuinely with no strings attached and they just ignored you or brushed you off? Yeah, that used to bother me a lot until I received something important. The other day I offered to help someone with marketing and sales. I wasn't pitching, I wasn't trying to get hired to I just know that I could have made things easier for her. But instead of engaging, she started listing all the reasons she couldn't even think about it right now. Family struggles, survival mode, waiting for the right time. And the thing is, I've offered before and every time, silence. So here's what I've learned. When people are in survival mode, They can't take in solutions. Even if you hand them a lifeline, they're too busy holding on to their own load. And it's not personal. It doesn't mean my skills aren't valuable or my offer isn't needed. It just means they're not ready. So now I protect my energy. I'll offer once, maybe twice. No, truly, it's once. And if it's ignored, I step back because my energy is precious and I want to pour it into people who are ready and open to receive. That's the key. That simple shift has saved me from resentment and burnout. So here's a little mantra for you. I release what's not mine to carry. My help is a gift, not an obligation, and I save my energy for those who are ready to receive. And if that's you, if you're ready to grab the Lifeline, my calendar is open. The link's in my bio, or just comment "ready" and let's connect.
