Got Clients?

Years ago, when I began my practice, I found myself in a challenging situation. I needed more clients. Yes, people were trickling in, but I didn't have the level of clientelle I wanted, or in fact needed. So I began to do the usual marketing things: I gave talks, handed out flyers, advertised, told people what I did for a living, and so on. But what I didn't do (at least not right away) was to envision my practice filled with clients.

That seemed too big a step for me at that time.

Ever hear of the saying, "You've got to walk before you can run"? Well, this was a prime example of that. Until I had a few more clients coming in my door, I couldn't envision my practice filling up, much less overflowing.

So, I decided to begin where I was, at a level I could comfortably believe in. I started envisioning one more client per week. When that happened, I began to envision two more clients per week. And so on. It worked.

I'm going to share three of the easy-peasy visualizations that I learned (and that worked for me) so that you, too, can attract more of the wonderful clients you are meant to serve.

Visual #1

This one I learned from Sanaya Roman of the Orin and DaBen website: Imagine you have a search light on top of your shop (practice, office, etc.). Turn the light on. Then imagine that search light going out into the world. Imagine your clients (ideal clients now, not just any client) seeing it and using the light to find you. (You do NOT have to visualize HOW they find you, only that they find you.) They will find you.

Visual #2

This one I learned from my beloved mentor, Wray Shelton: Imagine you have a red carpet coming up to your front door. Lay out the red carpet for your clients. Then light up your red carpet. Now see your clients coming to you, walking up that carpet. (Again, they will, and again, you don't have to visualize how they come to you.)

Visual #3

This is another one I learned from Sanaya Roman: Imagine your heart filled with the Light of the Divine. Now, see that light going out from your heart to the hearts of your clients -- new ones as well as current and old ones -- connecting you to each of them. See the clients coming to you, hear them picking up the phone and calling you to make appointments with you. Feel the energy connecting you with them.

If you will do at least one of these visuals (whichever feels the most comfortable to you), or even all of them, you will begin to see your client list increase. And not just with any clients, but with your ideal clients, with clients you are Divinely meant to serve. The result: your business will thrive as you do the work you are here to perform.
