A woman carefully planned and was excited to talk to a group about her business offering. It seemed like the perfect target market because there were many people of the same demographic who already used and were grateful to have found her product.
Part way through her presentation, she was cut off. They repeatedly asked her the same question. However, each time she answered, they just weren’t getting it.
They misinterpreted her, and without even being able to finish, she had to leave.
Although we hadn’t talked for a while, I happened to call her when she was driving away – hurt, bewildered, doubting herself, wondering if she was in the right business.
By the end of our conversation, she realized that even though it appeared to be an ideal group, they really weren’t in a place to “get it.” She presented a progressive perspective; her audience identified with a traditional approach. They couldn’t understand and weren’t open to new ideas.
In siutations like this, and before feeling discombobulated (cool word for confused, disconnected or upset), consider that you may be on different wavelengths. They’re not wrong and neither are you.
Suggestion: set an intention that you’ll connect with people who are in alignment with you. Life is so much easier being yourself than trying to twist yourself into a pretzel trying to fit in to be something you’re not. It works personally and in business, too.
