Would you mow your lawn in the rain?
I stopped and stared the first time I saw a lawn service mowing the lawn in the rain.
It’s not a news flash that it rains in Portland, this you know.
But, did you know that they mow lawns in the rain in Portland?
After we moved to town in 2018, I noticed this phenomenon and it totally shocked me.
You see, I grew up in the Midwest. Never in my 38 years had I ever seen someone mow the lawn in the rain. It’s just not done. It’s frowned upon because the grass gets all clumpy if you mow in the rain. It can even gum up the mower. In fact, when rain was in the forecast, homeowners race out to get their lawns cut before the rain arrives. Because not only won’t they mow the lawn in the rain, they will wait until a day or two AFTER the rain, to mow to ensure the grass is completely dry.
But in Portland, it just might rain every day in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. You just never know. It’s not like the Midwest where you can see the storms roll in. It’s kinda overcast a lot of the time and then suddenly it just starts misting or raining, and it may last a few minutes or a few hours. You never know. So, what do people do?
They mow their lawn in the rain. Because if they wait, they just might be waiting for weeks.
It’s a mindset.
It’s a norm.
It’s like putting yourself in a room of people who are more successful than you. It naturally makes you want to level up.
So here’s what I want you to do.
I want you to put yourself in rooms where influencers are doing live events.
I want you to do it regularly.
It will put your brain on notice that that’s what’s done, and you’ll start ‘seeing’ how your event could become a reality.
I know you’re feeling called to add profitable live events to your business. So, go put yourself in the headspace where live events are just what’s done.
And I promise you, you’ll add that profitable event to your business way sooner.
Make it an outstanding day.
