Business Coaching
I have this philosophy that I seem to live by lately. Since I am so busy working on or in my businesses, I really hate to sit down and figure stuff out. I am at the point in my life where I can live without that frustration. I would rather just someone sit me down and tell me to do this, then this, then this. Order or a check list is something I can relate to and would rather spend my time with. Figuring something out is dead time for me; I would rather pay someone else to teach me how to be an expert in something. Outsourcing talent like this is the mentality you need to absorb if you want to be successful in small business and in e commerce.

If you feel uncomfortable asking a client to buy from you, he has the answers. If you dread having to bring up the subject of money, fear no more. If you've ever been hesitant to boldly declare, "the best thing for you would be me"? Look no more! Thousands of entrepreneurs share your same frustrations and simply, easily and profitably attained success using Michael's 7 Keys.
Remember how excited you were when you first launched your business? You knew you had a gift to offer the world... and the universe was telling you that your message needed to be heard. Nothing has changed. If you have a message to deliver it means there are people who are meant to hear it! If you don't offer yourself with complete confidence and conviction, you minimize yourself, your services and your business. You are robbing people of creating a better life. You are limiting your potential and the experience of the services you provide and of being around you – not a small thing.
Book Yourself Solid, Key Number 1: Know Why People Buy What You're Selling Since it's super normal to feel like marketing or "talking yourself up" cheapens the integrity of your work, I have a simple solution... stop talking about what you do. The secret is to know what your clients want. So... every second of every day focus on clear, specific, and detailed solutions, benefits and advantages that appeal to your potential clients. Because people aren't buying what you do the science, technique or technical name that you use doesn't matter in the slightest! Who cares what you call yourself?!
The fancy diplomas on the wall aren't getting you more clients. Clients will come to you, however, when you speak with them about their problems and needs. Start by identifying their urgent needs and compelling desires and then offer them an invest-able opportunity and you'll be booked solid in no time.
WRITTEN EXERCISE:
Develop a list that starts to identify what your clients are actually buying when they are buying your services.
What are your clients' urgent needs? (What problems do they need to solve?)
1. __________________________________________________________
2. __________________________________________________________
3. __________________________________________________________
What are your clients' compelling desires? (What are they working toward?)
1. __________________________________________________________
2. __________________________________________________________
3. __________________________________________________________
What invest-able opportunities do you offer your clients? (What are the specific and quantifiable benefits?)
1. __________________________________________________________
2. __________________________________________________________
3. __________________________________________________________
Now, every time you communicate in person, through writing, on the internet, in advertisements, on the phone, etc... articulate and re-articulate these urgent needs and compelling desires. Your potential clients will connect with you immediately. Most importantly, they'll feel understand and they'll be interested in learning more about the invest-able opportunities you offer.
Stayed tuned for Key #2
