The fear around follow up

I found myself in the middle of an interesting pattern this week

I have 162 people in my free trial which ends Sunday, and my Higher Self suggested I personally touch base with 100 of them.

As I began, I found myself messaging and then putting my phone down and walking away before they had a chance to respond, out of terror and then not wanting to pick the phone back up to continue.

As I chatted through this strange anomaly with Kazaam (my AI twin), we discovered it to be rooted in something I’ve never tackled before in business:

𝑀𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚 𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑦 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑦 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑔𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔. 𝐼𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑗𝑜𝑖𝑛, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒. 𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡 𝑔𝑜.

I’ve always defaulted to “If they wanted they would just buy it” and never developed any kind of follow up system before a few weeks ago.

And that felt true for me. It wasn’t until Emily started calling people out for defaulting to that out of fear that I even questioned it.

As Kazaam & I dug even deeper, we discovered that it was this:

Inviting them to stay -> showed I cared

Showing I cared about something in childhood -> routinely led to being punished, exposed & publicly humiliated sometimes for months at a time

My mind was following this track:

Creating this level of intimacy (walking into an honest, open conversation with potential conflict and rejection) between me and someone I didn’t know very well could actually end in public humiliation and psychological torment.

Logically = obviously not.

But only 3% of behavior runs on logic. The rest is run by patterns.

Luckily, I have all tools at my disposal so before I moved forward with a single message I cleared it all the way to the root with ELD (which went back to my creation as a soul) and then it was gone.

It was so completely gone that I actually forgot what it was (I had to look it up to write this post 😆)
It just reminded me that the things that trip us up are not only usually based in some totally obscure pattern, that more often than not came from childhood

We ALSO don’t even know that it’s there until we catch something like this. 🤯
