Experiments cannot fail

One of the key concepts of Your Natural Way to Get Clients (TM) is Experimentation. How can you know what is Your Natural Way if you do not experiment? Through experimentation I discovered that going to Networking events in order to give my card to hundreds of people and be very serious and sensible is NOT my Natural Way. I learnt that going to interesting events for themselves, and meeting people as an added bonus, building relationships and having a laugh IS my Natural Way.

I would never have discovered the second piece if I had not experimented - with different networking groups/events, with my intentions, with my behaviour. Funnily enough, when I put on the 'Coach-suit' (pants outside my trousers, bizarre 'serious' attitude), I am not attractive (even to me!). When I am myself - who happens to be a coach as well, I am very attractive. (and more comfortable, and have more fun...bonus!) Again, discovered by experimentation.

Scientists know that an experiment cannot fail - Thomas Edison captured this truth in this quote "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Each 'failed' experiment gives the scientist more information about how things do not work...which then leads them inexorably to what DOES work. What will you experiment with today?
