Helping People Without Being Pushy {B'Day Fun D11 Ep 218}

0:00Welcome to Tuesday Talks with Darlene Podcast, the show that goes deep into the topics of spirituality, intuition, the sharkers and business. I will be building on the traditional knowledge of all of these and being a rebel by busting myths. There will be solo episodes and also episodes with guests. I'm your host, Darlene. Let's get started. Hi everyone and welcome to this episode of Tuesday Talks with Darlene. I'm really excited to talk about this episode, which is helping people without being pushy. Before we start, please subscribe to the channel, like, share, comment, this beautiful episode because I want

1:03this message to get out there. It is a really important message. And I want you to think, if you're intuitive, perceptive or deeply tuned people, you can often see what they need before they can actually articulate it. You can sense the pattern beneath their words. You can feel whether holding back and you can see the potential they're not yet claiming. And you can do this, whether it's in person, like on a video call or even just on a telephone. It doesn't matter. You can do this because you'll so beautifully insured it. You can see the pattern beneath their words. And this is such a powerful gift. In business, especially in the spiritual intuitive spaces, this gift can carry a lot of weight. And for a lot of us, we agree to carry

2:03this weight. And that's why this episode is so important because I really want you to be aware of what happens because a line between helping and pushing can become very thin. And there are many people that step over that line. That is why I'm talking about that line today in this episode about the difference between using your inside to serve and using it to steer about how to sell in a way that feels clean, powerful and deeply respectful. And I'm using the word sell deliberately. There are so many of us that have actually bypassed that word sell, selling. We've bypassed it. And it's not healthy. It's not helpful at all. That is what we do. We sell. We sell our products. We sell our programs. We sell our memberships. We sell our retreats. Whatever it is that we do, we sell it. So please embrace that

3:04word. Do you think Cole's woolly is or any shops out there don't sell? They do. Think about everything that they do to sell. That is what you're doing. Now what's the difference between intuition and projection? Intuition observes without attachment. It notice patterns, hesitation and even shifts in tone. Whereas projection assumes you know what someone should do, what they should say, etc. And begin subtly shaping the conversation toward that outcome. And in a lot of cases, it's not subtle at all. It is in your face. It is incredible. Now just because you can see someone's next level doesn't mean they actually have the resources for it. Capacity is emotional, financial, energetic, physical, everything.

4:09Insight does not override timing. Now if you're feeling the urgency rise, the need to convince persuade or wake them up. I've heard that so many times. They've just got to wake up. Then I want you to pause. Take three really deep breaths. Because when you do that, you realize that urgency often signals your own discomfort with their indecision. Now true intuition remains steady even if they walk away. Because intuition respects pace, whereas projection tries to accelerate it. And when we don't notice that shift, helping can quietly and sometimes loudly turn into control. When does this helping become subtle control or loud control? When you use someone's vulnerability to strengthen your case,

5:16highlighting their pain more intensely than necessarily so they feel the cost of not buying. That is not service. That is pressure addressed as cap. And I've seen it many, many times. That's why I'm so aware of it now. And that's why I'm talking about this because I want you to be aware of it as well whether you are actually doing it or someone's doing it to you. It could be both ways. And that's happened for me. It has been both ways. And labeling resistance as fear without exploring whether it might be discernment. If they are resisting, they could be their own intuition kicking in going, this program isn't right for me. And not every hesitation from a client is self sabotage. Sometimes it's wisdom. If you've got resistance and guess what? It's wisdom.

6:18Creating dependency by positioning yourself as the only one who can see or unlock their growth. Guess what? True empowerment builds autonomy, not reliance. I love my clients. Do I want them forever? Why not? But I don't want them to rely on me. I want them to grow and grow and grow. I want that so much. And if that means that they grow beyond me and find someone else, fantastic. Now for me personally, that means I should be growing with them. As I'm not going to get them to rely on me. But if they grow beyond me, that means I've stopped growing myself and I don't like that. I want to continue to grow and it's powerful. Now manipulation in the business world is really loud. Although there's been lots of times, it's been loud. It can often be soft,

7:21articulate and justified. And that's one of the words justified. They are just justifying what they're doing. Integrity requires something more uncomfortable than persuasion. It requires restraint. And that's one of the things that clients loved about me. The fact that I never pressured them into something. I would actually say, can I contact you in a couple of days to see how you're going? And if they said yes, then I would, I would actually set that up. And I'd actually set it up just after the call. I would write an email and I would schedule it. And it's okay to do that. Because for me, that meant that it was done. And sometimes, you know, I don't have the capacity to remember things all the time, even if I've written it down. So for me, that's what I did. And because the call was still in my head, I could actually say, do you remember we talked about this, this and this and how you're feeling? And, you know, is there anything that I can do?

8:23Would you like to, you know, talk further about the program or what if it was, I would say there. And for that, your role is to present the opportunity clearly and truthfully. Don't lie about your program. Don't say, if you follow my framework exactly, then this is going to happen. Because guess what? We're human. We've got different kinds of responsibilities. We've got different things that happen. I followed someone's program exactly. Guess what? I didn't get where they said, I would. So be truthful about it. It is not to manage their emotional response to it. Discomfort is part of decision making, but it belongs to them, not you. And when a client says no, it's not a rejection of your insight or your program or membership whatever. It is information about their current priorities, their nervous system capacity,

9:27or financial reality. And respecting that builds trust. When someone leaves a conversation being empowered, when they feel empowered, it's, oh, it's amazing. Even if they didn't buy, you have sold with integrity. When they feel smaller, pressured or subtly inadequate, something has crossed the line. And I'm saying all of this as an awareness because autonomy is sacred in business. Without it, the work loses its integrity. It really does. Now, what does this clean ground of selling actually look like? You name what you're noticing without dramatising it. Here is what I see. I would like for you to decide if that resonates. You offer the clarity and you can offer certainty. Just be truthful about

10:31it. You don't always offer the certainty. You trust that awareness is enough because you don't inflate pain or urgency to force a timeline. If it's right, it's going to stand on its own. And talking about that timeline, I've seen it so often where you might subscribe to something, say you might sign up for a freebie. And you go to the next page they have, it's called Absol. And on there, it actually says, this is only available. Whatever it is, the next page thing is unavailable for the next 15 minutes. And once the 15 minutes is up, it's gone. Well, guess what? I've tested that multiple times. I would refresh the page after 20 minutes. Guess what? The time I had to reset. That is wrong. That is so wrong. You also separate your income from their decision. When you're overly attached to the outcome,

11:34that's when your energy tightens. Now, clean sales energy feels spacious. It feels amazing. And you don't confuse intensity with impact. A grounded calm invitation is often more powerful than a high pressure breakthrough moment. Integrity in sales feels steady, not charged. And that steady starts internally. And I want you to check your motive before you close. Ask yourself, if they say no, will I still respect them? If the answers no, then you'll still hook to that outcome. Notice whether you're trying to relieve your own financial anxiety through this sale. Because selling from scarcity shifts your tone. And most of the time, it shifts it in a big way. Because you lack confidence, you lack the ability to say, you know, this program

12:38is amazing. It does actually happen. And check whether you're trying to prove something, like your power, your insight, or your ability to transform. Because when ego enters in a way that is not good at all, clarity leaves. And I want to say we've all got ego. Every one of us, we need ego. Because if we didn't have some form of ego, we wouldn't be in business. We wouldn't be where we are. Or if you know, you've been an employee, you might still be an employee, you wouldn't be where you are without that ego. Now, it's ego in a good way, not in a way that is overpowering or anything like that. Like my program is so amazing that, you know, if you don't buy it, well, obviously you don't want success or whatever it is. You know, that happens. And I want you to imagine the conversation being replayed in six months. Would you feel proud of

13:39how you handled their autonomy? This is a question that is extremely grounding. It will bring you back to Earth in a flash. The cleanest sales conversations are not about closing. They're about alignment. When your energy is clean, clients feel safe. And that safety builds a business that you can repeat. Remember, your intuition is a gift. Your perception is powerful. But someone else's growth is not yours to control. Selling in business requires more integrity, not less. Because insight can influence and insight and influence must be handled carefully. You can see someone clearly without deciding for it. You can offer transformation without pressuring for it. You can want the sale and still respect

14:42their pace. The goal is not to be passive. It's to be powerful without coercive. And that kind of power builds a business that feels clean and amazing to run.
