To prepare yourself to magnetize your ideal clients you want to first pre-pave the way for connecting with your ideal clients by having two strong, EnergyRICH® legs to stand on. These are: 1 - Manage your fears and doubts about being able to actually have more clients and make more money. I ...
I remember when I was introduced to the concept of “business networking” when I started my first business. I thought, I will NEVER be able to do this. I remember getting ready to go to my first networking event and whining to my husband (then boyfriend), “I was miserable at this kind of thing when I was dating!
Setting clear intentions for your business is the opportunity to take full responsibility for creating your business the way you really want it to be. When you set an intention, you first get very clear about you desire, and then you ask for guidance by being willing to partner with the divine without a sense of entitlement or demand. Then, the energy of your desire is speeded up because you’ve actively embraced your ability to solve any problem that comes your way. Think of it this way: Intention = Desire + Asking For Guidance = Speeded Up Energy = Manifestationrnr
If you want more clients one of the most effective ways to increase your abundance of clients is with the power of follow up. For those of us who are heart-centered that “Old School” technique of pressure and manipulating doesn’t work so well. This has been the main point of reference for sales, but when you are a heart-centered entrepreneur you are conflicted about how to “sell.” So you find yourself doing anything but connect with those you are meant to serve. Time to shift out of “busy-ness” into being in business!
A healer I know, hosted two classes in two weeks. In the first class, she went through all of the important points on her outline. She explained the terminology, answered her clients’ questions, and illustrated her points with excellent examples.
Look around you. Do you have everything you desire for your business? If your business is not where you want it to be, you need to look at where YOU are focusing your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You can't blame anyone or anything if you are not where you want to be. You need to take ...
I remember once when I needed to tell someone I was sorry (‘Sorry for acting like a jerk’ would have actually been the best phrase). You would’ve thought I was about to be executed the way I was dragging my feet. No matter how hard it felt, I knew I needed to do it because by not speaking those words would have toxic energy over-spilling into my business and my success and that’s a price I’m not willing to pay. The fifth energy point is located at the base of the throat and it’s quite powerful. Most people have a hard time believing this.
I have two very important questions for you: 1) Do you dream of becoming a success? 2) Do you fear becoming a failure? Now let me share an important truth with you: You are a complex creation of talents, intellect, inspiration, intuition and personality. Now let me share ANOTHER important truth with you: If your small business brings home six figures or more this year, you will not transform into a new being called “A Success.”
Have you ever wondered how some entrepreneurs always seem to create such big successes, while you are stuck “just paying the bills” or struggling to make ends meet? The secret that those entrepreneurs have tapped into is what I use and coach my students and clients to cultivate… a mindset of what I like to call, Being Considerably Huge™. The soul-filled entrepreneurs you see out there creating big things (and receiving BIG results) know that the single most important thing you can do to expand your bank account is to expand your DREAMS.
If you’re a person who comes from the corporate world or maybe even a system or organization such as the teaching system that I came from, you might remember that it wasn’t considered “professional” to give personal compliments, praise or even any type of expression of appreciation. There always seemed to be fear around this: don’t say too much, don’t get too close and don’t share from your heart. So let’s take a moment to recognize what this really is: an activation of lack.
To every new potential, your business is like a lake on a nice summer day…the idea seems like a good one, but plunging in could be a shock to the system.. That is why it is important to have a way for you potential clients to dip their toe in the water of your business. From the toe-dip experience then a prospect is often ready to take the next step and engage further with you… You must understand that a prospect doesn’t usually get very interested, let alone excited, about using your services until they have a deep sense of who you are and what you can do for them.
Many of my clients share that one of their biggest marketing challenges is actually connecting with enough prospects. They are doing all of this great work in their businesses, but not very many people know about their work; or at least not enough for the flow of business to be moving smoothly ...
I've come to know that there are three big blocks that most often come up when anyone is looking at using a professionals service or getting ready to buy a product. 1. Money. 2. Time. 3. Timing. This is also with the understanding that everything else between the two of you is what I call an ...
Remember the story of the “Little Engine That Could”? This little train had always pulled small loads, but one day it was called upon to deliver something greater. First, it had a hard time getting the load to move at all so it cheered itself on by puffing, “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can …” The load began to move and then natural momentum began to take over at the top of the hill and it was pulled forward -smoothly and easily …” Ahhh – such a nice story, isn’t it? Think your business is any different? Well, your answer says a lot about whether it is … or it isn’t.
Many of my clients share that one of their biggest marketing challenges is actually connecting with enough prospects. They are doing all of this great work in their businesses, but not very many people know about their work; or at least not enough for the flow of business to be moving smoothly and easily. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Sound familiar? There isn’t one perfect way to consistently connect with prospects, but there are many ways that, when used collaboratively, will build you a nice stream of people who are interested in what you do.
When you constantly give your energy away to outside circumstances, you're left drained, empty and looking for ways to fill up. You search endlessly for the right "answer" to building your business, making more money. You take course after course, buy product after product and then, if you're ...
I was recently having a conversation with one my private mentor clients and she asked me “How do you deal with being a high-level coach? You know, all of the competition…for marketing, clients, exposure … you know the coaching industry is so incestuous …” Now I loved this question because it got right to the heart of what holds so many entrepreneurs back from experiencing success. So let’s look at, first, what IS at the heart of this question and then I’ll share with you what I told her, ok?
I remember attending a meditation workshop with Mark Epstein, a well-known 'Buddhist psychologist.' He told a story about a meeting he had with Ram Dass, spiritual teacher and author, where Ram Dass had asked Mark Epstein about his work with his patients. As Mark talked about his work, Ram Dass ...

There are many parts to building a successful entrepreneur business, but it first and foremost begins with understanding and remembering why you do the work you do. Then it's about clearly understanding who you serve, what their major struggles are, and how what you offer will make their life ...
Putting together a Teleclass can be a great marketing tool to use to bring more exposure to you and your business. AND - It can be a lot easier than you might think, with the right tools and tips to get started. So, how do you get started? I've got some great (and really important) tips that will have you stepping into the powerful and profitable teleclass giving zone, but I want to be sure that you take in each one of these tips so I am going to be sharing these tips as a series.
The thing is, you'll find that this system in particular, out of all of your business systems, will have tiny off-spring systems. For instance, you have your overall system that may include: Word of mouth Networking Email Campaigns Direct Mail Campaigns Internet Marketing Speaking Writing ...

I used to play small when it came to talking about my business because I was afraid of sounding "salesy" and then I discovered the easiest, most-simplest thing I could do to increase my client numbers - I shifted from selling to serving. That's right. So much began to happen ... I felt better ...
It’s helpful to remember that “creating copy” is just the same as the more traditional phrase of creating “advertising materials.” Here are 7 Key points to keep in mind when creating effective copy that will instantly engage your ideal client and as a result create soaring sales – so you can make a Considerably Huge™ difference in the world! 1. Copy is your message in print. - Be sure it’s connected to your Core Value Offer and that it truly has the energy of who you are and what you stand for. 2. People are primarily tuned into the radio station “WIIFM” (What’s In It For Me?).
Having a business of your dreams is all about the energy. I have coached many people that had no clue of HOW they were going to do things, and in some cases, they had some real gaps in skills like marketing and selling. But, when they really understood that this is an ENERGY game- first and ...
When connecting with a potential client it's so powerful to be able to share stories from other folks who have used your services. The stories of others will do tons more than explanations from you. Having potential clients connect with the experience of others is a highly effective way to share ...
I’m sure you’ve heard over and over the importance of having a “target market,” a specific group of people who share similar qualities and have a problem that you and your business can solve. Now, this is important because you want to have a clear message that speaks ...
I want to introduce to what I refer to as the #1 Secret Success Ingredient: what I call energetic and personal responsibility. You see it can be so easy in this day and time that we live in to blame what is going on “out there” for what you don’t have. Yes, even if you tell yourself ‘Oh no, that’s not me; that’s not how I operate’, it’s literally everywhere around us. It’s part of the news. It’s part of the newspaper. It’s part of your Google page when you turn on your calendar. There is the tendency towards blame.
Creating business that gives you more freedom, more money and more energy isn’t about knocking out a BIGGER to-do list - it’s about prioritizing what most needs your time, attention and energy first, then doing it. Because let’s be honest, being self-employed is extremely overwhelming and it can feel concerning in terms of what to do when, how much time to focus on this task versus that task. So what can you do right now to create laser focus and expand time as you build your business from a place of joy and abundance? It starts by creating an aligned action plan.r
Choosing to shift into BEing in the business of service rather than selling someone will make all the difference in supporting your ideal clients in EASILY being able to step forward into working with you… to the point where they are thanking you as they give you their credit card number! (Seriously, I see it happen ALL the time. It’s 110% possible.) To create that shift – from SELLING to SERVING you begin by: A) becoming aware of your current Money Mindset B) deciding to use that awareness to transform to a new upleveled Money Mindset for purpose-filled successrnr
I’ve seen it a million times. Coaches, healing practitioners and creative entrepreneurs just like you “market, market, market” or try to “sell, sell, sell” and with all your efforts , you still see little to no success. It breaks my heart because I’ve seen you angry, frustrated, and depressed as you continue to struggle with mo-ney. Now what I’ve come to understand is that, NO you do not need to be a “financial expert” to make a lot of mo-ney. In truth it all comes down to your relationship with mo-ney. YES, you can learn... -> all the mo-ney making systemsr
Just the other day I was on a call with some of my Evolutionary PLUS clients. They stepped forward to share some of the recent successes that have come their way... going from 0-6 clients, being able to leave a soul-sucking job, signing on a Papa package client (5 figures!) and so much more! So my friends, to step into the results just like they shared with me, it makes sense that you TOO want to have the energetical aspects and the practical aspects in place for business success.
Attending a live seminar or event is one of the most powerful ways to receive from your mentors and high-level leaders. I know it’s one of my most favorite ways to absorb new ideas, trainings and teachings to up level myself and all of EnergyRICH® Coaching! I also know it can be very easy for you to get caught up in the excitement of an event or workshop then you get home you may find yourself experiencing overwhelm. You know that place where your day to day life is still there and now you ALSO have lots of new ideas and inspired actions to take.
Let’s start by getting clear. Taking bold action is what will both fuel your soul and fill your bank account. So how do you do it? It simply takes a willingness to choose to move beyond what is comfortable and to move forward without wavering. At EnergyRICH® we call it being Considerably Huge™. This is all about mastering your mindset (and your marketing) so that you can step forward to take bold inspired action allowing you to reach more people, make more of a difference in the world and of course receive more reward!
I see so many entrepreneurs stuck and struggling when it comes to having a selling conversation. It breaks my heart because I can clearly see their energy is mismatched. You want to sign on clients but you are caught in a belief that selling is pushy and manipulative and dirty and embarrassing and you’re not good at it, and the selling thing is not the business that you are in. First let’s understand why mismatched energy and limiting beliefs sabotage so many entrepreneurs.
So many creative entrepreneurs that I coach share with me that either you don’t know what you want (or what you say that you want) in your business or you are very vague about what it is that you do want. I often hear “I want more money” or even “I just want to be able to pay my bills” but most importantly I hear that you want an end to all your money struggles. I know this is exactly what my experience was when I first began my self-employed journey. Actually I just wanted out of the money hell that I was experiencing at that time. I was tired of worrying about money.r
I’m sure you’ve heard of the Law of Attraction, yes? “Thoughts become things” is a popular saying today. But here’s the thing … this is especially true for those of us with heart-centered businesses. You as a conscious business owner must be aware of your thoughts, feelings and actions and use them to propel your business forward. And here’s the most important thing… it’s one thing to get the Law of Attraction on an intellectual level and it’s a whole other thing to really have this energy working for you and bringing you the business success you desire.
I knew a woman who didn’t know what she wanted to eat. Her husband would ask her, "Do you want Chinese or Mexican food for dinner? Do you want fast food? Do you feel like cooking?" She would study his face with each word, listen to his inflections, trying to guess what he wanted her to say. "Do you want Chinese?" she’d ask him. "Whatever you want is fine with me." Eventually, her husband stopped making suggestions. "Just tell me what you’re in the mood for," he’d say. "Tonight we’ll have what you want."
I’m often asked, “How do you do it -All?” Now, I do have a full private mentor client load, lead high-level masterminds & group coaching programs, write a newsletter weekly, attend many events, give teleseminars, present speaking engagements and even more behind the scenes. And, yes, while I do have a great support team (thanks gals!), there is a lot that is hands-on-by-me and it’s the systems I have in place that allow me to get “it” all done and create new opportunities all the time. All without feeling overwhelmed (I don’t know about you, but I really HATE that feeling).
I often hear from entrepreneurs how hard it is to sign on a new client. Actually, it’s quite simple. I am going to share 11 steps with you, but before you can take these 11 steps to signing on a new client you must be clear about WHO your Ideal Client is. This is a key pre-step.
Look around you. Do you have everything you desire for your business? If your business is not where you want it to be, you need to look at where YOU are focusing your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You can’t blame anyone or anything if you are not where you want to be. You need to take absolute energetic responsibility for all of it and move in loving kindness from where you are to where you want to be. Conflict gives you so much to learn from and until you take full responsibility, you will always feel like something “out there” needs to change for your outcomes to be what you want.
EnergyPOOR Entrepreneurs believe their success is primarily their own doing. They believe in the self-made person theory. EnergyRICH® Entrepreneurs are aware that all good things come from the spirit of love. They know love is the natural order of the Universe, and that ego and self-pride have been created by man over time to cover a fragile self-image. It is simply trying to protect you. But this false-protection is also limiting your ability to grow, shine and move beyond where you are. So you give gratitude.
So many entrepreneurs try to do it all and get frustrated by all the time it takes. Here are 5 solid-gold steps to keep your energy high, your tasks moving quickly, and your bank account full. 1. Prep Your Energyrnr
I’m sure you’ve heard over and over the importance of having a “target market,” a specific group of people who share similar qualities and have a problem that you and your business can solve. Now, this is important because you want to have a clear message that speaks directly to potential clients, which has them saying, “Yes! That’s what I want! I’ll hire you NOW.”
Now there are all types of steps, tips and tricks to business success. But there’s one that I’ve found that really keeps the whole energy moving: the ability to process information. There’s more information out there than ever before. More to learn and more to do. There’s more stuff to read, watch and listen to. And there’s a TON of energy that gets stirred up with all of it. That’s a lot to sort through in order to succeed in business. How can you deal with it all?

The holidays are a busy time for everyone, but especially for small business owners/entrepreneurs. In addition to everything else you’ve got going on: this is a great time of year to be connecting with your current clients and potential clients. Yup, that’s right. This time of year is perfect for generating new business, connecting with those you serve in a way that feels good to you, expanding and moving your business powerfully forward into the New Year.
I’ll share with you that when I first started in business the image of a leader that I brought with me was an authority figure who has the power to hurt those that are following them. This was because I was so used to being around authority figures who were coming from a place of leading through fear (I came out of the very toxic public school system). I knew I didn’t want that in my business.
