How to enroll others behind your plans
Last week, I shared with you my story of how I finally worked up the courage to quit my 9-5 and pursue coaching full-time. It took me a while to recognize my own worthiness to pursue what I wanted, and I also had to get clear on what it was I truly wanted. If you missed last week, learn part 1 of how to get others enrolled with your plan, and get caught up here. đ
When you become clear on what you want to do, and how you will do it, youâve taken the first clear step towards your goal.
But youâre not there yet.
Youâll likely need to enroll others in your vision. Your vision could be anything…It could be stepping out in business for yourself, landing that new client, or getting that well-deserved promotion.
You donât need permission, what you need is to get others on board with your ideas. You need to enroll them.
Ultimately, enrollment is about bringing others along with you into something thatâs larger than you. They have to see something in it for themselves. Something they can connect with on a heart-level.
At this stage in the game, you have to change your language when you talk to others. Youâre no longer seeking permission, instead, youâre seeking their participation.
In order to pull this off, youâve gotta be prepared to speak towards this goal or objective. Hereâs what you need to be ready forâŠ
Part II: How to Enroll Others in Your Vision
Whatâs in it for you? Be prepared to speak towards…
- Why are you perfect for the role?
- Whatâs possible for you in the role?
- How youâre the perfect candidate for the position?
- How youâre already performing the role?
Whatâs in it for them?
- How would they benefit from your promotion?
- How would it make them feel to see another member of their team promoted?
- How it would free up their time, energy, focus, resources, etcâŠ
Lastly, whatâs the larger purpose?
How will you step in to do XYZ ultimately benefit everyone?
This last piece is the higher altitude conversation about how enrollment works in everyoneâs best interests. When youâve created a win-win for everyone, it becomes a no-brainer how to proceed.
Part III: Donât ever fully-arrive
Many people stop at Part II. Theyâve sold their idea or theyâve stepped into the role they wanted, and they think theyâre done. Theyâve enrolled others behind their cause. Voila!
Enrollment is an iterative process. Ultimately, it requires constant repetition and comes down to what will it take for x to be enrolled in y.
Understanding this process is like wielding your own superpower.
Once youâve established a relationship with someone, taking up the issue of enrollment again in the future becomes less intimidating.
So next time someone tells you âNo,â try asking âWhat would it take for you to be enrolled with this plan?â
Are you ready to step into Part 2 and 3 of enrolling others in your plans?
Keep on keeping on!

Dreaming and Manifesting for Sensitive Empaths Living in a Loud World
Today Iâm kicking off a series of episodes on the Prosperous EmpathÂź Podcast where I will dig into some commonalities that empaths and HSPs experience in entrepreneurship and leadership. In my years of working with empaths from all walks of life, Iâve noticed that we often share similar struggles and obstacles that we need to overcome to thrive and prosper. In this solo episode, Iâm talking about the power of manifestation and the process of reconnecting with your dreams, desires, and creativity. To tell the truth, I have a love/hate relationship with the word âmanifestationâ – even though I have manifested many things in my life and business. If thereâs a logical part of you that resists the concept of manifestation, youâll resonate with this episode! Iâm sharing nuggets of wisdom on how to become intentional with your thoughts and beliefs as well as my favorite manifestation practices to try.
