No 'Right' Way for Everyone

There is no 'Right Way' for everyone. There is your way, my way, and all the ways in between. So all those books that say 'this is how you do it'? They mean 'this is how I do it', and you can customise it for you. Or ignore it if it's not your way.

Easy.

Everyone I Meet Must Become a Client

As you are out and about in the world, you will meet people who 'could' become clients...people who you connect with, you like, you see that your service can help, and you would love to work with. Would it be ok with you if this perfect client DIDN'T become a client? Would it be ok with you if not everyone you met became a client? Because not everyone will...and that's ok. Some people will be connectors, connecting you to other people who may become clients, some will become friends, some will become clients, some will fizzle to nothing...for now.

And that's ok. Don't let the weight of your expectation for 'a perfect client' or 'anyone' to work with you squash the relationship before it has a chance to serve you! Imagine how that feels from the other side - you meet this great person, have a wonderful connection and then you sense that they are disappointed in you because you are not ready to work with them today. What chance is there of you working with them tomorrow? None.

Let each new connection delight you with whatever it brings you - whether that's a new client now, or 20 new clients way down the line, or...a thousand other possibilities these people may bring you.

Sneaky Beliefs

Limiting beliefs that stop you from getting clients can sneak in when your back is turned.

Answer this question to flush out any that are lurking in the shadows: Can you get 20 new clients paying your highest fee by Christmas this year? (If the answer is YES of course I can, double it til some beliefs fall out of the tree!)

If the answer's no, what are the 'reasons' (or limiting beliefs, some call them)? Are these beliefs stopping you from getting the clients you want and deserve?

Don't it Make You Feel Good?

One of the key concepts of Your Natural Way is doing things that suit you. Your personality, your preferences, YOUR Natural Way. A very simple test of what this might be is what feels good when you are doing it?

For example, even though I love chatting to people, I hate networking events! They don't feel good (and I experimented with this long enough to know it's not about it being something new). On the other hand, I love going to classes and events that interest me...not to 'network', but to learn something, see someone, have fun. And as an afterthought, an added bonus, I get to chat to people - or network - in a way that feels good.

So, what are you feeling good about and how can you use this to find out more about Your Natural Way?

Who are you with when you're not yourself?

There are times when we are 'not' our fully magnificent and shiny selves...maybe when we're ill, stressed, tired...or with people we are not our 'real' self with. We suppress little bits of ourselves with all sorts of different people, until we forget who we are. It's a gradual process, it takes years to suppress the enthusiasm for 'me-ness' that we had when we were 3.

Luckily, it doesn't take as long to release that pent up 'me-ness'...and you can do it gradually. Find someone you are not quite yourself with, and make an effort today to be more 'you' with them. Just a bit more. And then next time, a little bit more, until you are fully you with them. Then find someone else to be 'you' with...and so on.

Boy, these people are in for a treat!

Don't give up on your Garden

Life sometimes gets in the way - births, deaths, marriages, random things that just take up your time and take your focus away from your garden. But that is no reason to give up on your garden entirely. Once you have created a garden, it is there for good. It may need a bit of weeding every now and again if you've been neglecting it, but it won't take as much time as you expect.

Those seeds are still there, they are hardier than you give them credit for.

Keeeeeeeeeeep dancing...I mean gardening!

Intentionally Focusing

What is your intention for your business? Do you intend to have lots of clients, pots of money, oodles of ease, and a ton of fun? Of course you do!

And what do you focus on?

How many wonderful clients you have (even when there is 1), the money you have, the ease with which you do business, and the enjoyment you have?

OR

How many wonderful clients you DON'T have, how skint you are, how hard it is, and how you are driving yourself into exhaustion?

Your experiment for today is to focus more on scenario A than scenario B...and watch your energy, and you business, soar.
