This past week, our longtime coaching client Sandy Salle of Hills of Africa — now the world’s premier experts in luxury travel to Africa– came to Stamford with her Director of Operations Michelle for a powerful half-day strategy session with me. After two very successful years in our Platinum program (and after reaching 7-figures in sales this past year as a result of our coaching) Sandy has upgraded to the Sapphire Level of the Winners Academy, and together we mapped out a solid and absolutely doable plan to triple her sales to the multi-million dollar level over the next 12 months. We followed our strategy session with an exquisite meal prepared by a private chef, all around the theme of South African food and wine, flavors from Zimbabwe. It was an elegant and special way to celebrate her successes past and future. (We love you, Sandy!)
Other big news is that last week was our first week in our brand new, beautiful Client Attraction offices! The layout is really great for the team and everyone is really enjoying this warm, inviting space. We even started a new company tradition where we sit down to a chef-prepared healthy, delicious lunch together. It’s a wonderful opportunity for everyone to take a few minutes to connect – and even share a laugh or two.
The real reason we make excuses around self-promotion is that self- employed people are afraid of what people might think. Our businesses are such an extension of who we are that we are very careful about how we talk about our businesses and what we say to others about it. The problem is (as I’ve said so many times before), if you don’t market consistently, you won’t have clients consistently. Period. (more…)
I love Stacy Powell’s recent article on Forbes.com Money Wise Women. It’s called Entrepreneurial Passion vs Sales and is definitely worth the read. The bottom line? If you want to change your financial life, sell yourself more. Check it out here.
Hundreds of entrepreneurial women were in attendance at the CT Women’s Conference in Farmington, CT last Thursday and I was honored to be invited to speak about what it really takes to go from 5-figures to 6-figures, and then to 7-figures in your business. The response was really heartwarming. In some small way (or maybe even profound way) some lives were changed yesterday, and that’s why I do what I do.
One thing I shared with them all is that to grow your business, you must master Compelling Marketing that PULLS ideal clients in, rather than continuing to push so hard to get clients. There’s a big energetic difference and the marketing skill is a learnable, teachable skill that can be mastered quickly. To learn how to do it all in an authentic way that honors your prospects AND honors you at the same time, I spoke to a few of them afterwards about my affordable “Get More Clients” 2-day Marketing Workshop in Stamford, CT in a little less than two weeks. It’s where I teach my entire tin-depth techniques and where we do a lot of the work in the actual workshop, so you can go home and plug it all in effortlessly. Just 10 days until we close registrations… Curious? You can get all details, see success stories and register here.
Speaking of getting more clients, have you watched my high-content, high-value, NO CHARGE WEBINAR? In it, I share with you some of the secrets you’ll learn at the workshop I just mentioned. I recommend getting a pad of paper and a pen, and making time to watch it asap, before we take it down soon. Here’s where you can watch the webinar from the comfort of your own computer.
On a more personal note, we moved our offices on Friday to a swanky loft-like space, about a half mile from our home. It’s very exciting and we all have a great feeling about what this will do for our business. Thank goodness the move is all handled by our fabulous assistant! I’ll post pictures as soon as we get out of boxes.
In recent years, I’ve been working with a new kind of client. Yeah, yeah, you can say, “Fabienne, you’ve talked to me about ideal clients before. I know that I need to figure out who my IDEAL client is.” But wait! This is different. Today, I want to share with you the exact KIND of client I work with and why you should too.
For years, I’ve attracted a whole host of clients, many of them startup entrepreneurs who were in desperation mode and needed to be saved. These people needed clients BADLY and looked to me to hand them a life-raft to stay in business. (more…)
My daughter Claire turned 8 years old last Monday! Derek and I are so proud of the young lady she is growing up to be. We celebrated by taking her out for dinner at a Hibachi-style Japanese restaurant. At first the kids were a little confused by the antics but that quickly changed and we enjoyed a yummy (and entertaining) dinner.
The next day it was off to Toronto for my Client Attraction VIP Coaching Intensive. I spent the day coaching and strategizing with a small group of take-action entrepreneurs – what transformations! I then turned around the very next day for a full day of masterminding with my own mentor for my business. Together Derek and I put together our breakthrough plan on actually revolutionizing how we will offer our Client Attraction services in the future. Our mission is to be the global leader and resource for women business owners who want to get more clients and make more money. I’m so excited about the future and I’m thankful for days like that that stretch me to play really, really BIG.
You’re probably like me. Deep in my heart I know that in order to get to the next level of my own business, I can’t do it alone. I need the support and resources of a mentor and fellow mastermind members who have already achieved (or are close to achieving) what I want for my own business. And can I be completely frank with you? You need that too, whether you realize it or not. If you’re ready to be part of a mastermind group that will support you as you get to the next level of your business (regardless of what level you’re currently at), I invite you to take a look at the Winners Academy and join us.
Clients are always so curious about how I manage to get it all done. And it’s no wonder because now that I see it all down on paper, it does seem like a lot. But, before you think I’ve got it all figured out, let me be very transparent with you. I have a crazy number of emails in my inbox, many of which need answering. And every so often, a few things fall through the cracks. Hey, I’m human after all, but I’m better off than I’ve ever been before.
What I realize from coaching people over the years is that I have indeed figured out a few things about getting it all done, or at least, a lot of it done, while still having sanity and a lot of fun in my life. It’s all about BOUNDARIES around time, with others, but mostly with me. (more…)
Last Thursday, I hosted my Inner Circle members and top Client Attraction affiliates as my special guests for our one day intensive. Attendees flew in from all over the country and the world for this one day event, as far as Puerto Rico, Sweden, the U.K. and I taught them my latest and most profound client attraction principles, with lots of high-level networking, strategizing and a hot-seat makeover. I was really moved when so many of them told me afterwards that this one-day changed the course of their business.

This coming Wednesday, I’m hosting a my very first, one-time, live webinar where I’m revealing EVERYTHING about 1) why you don’t have all the ideal clients you want right now (clients who pay you what you’re worth and who refer lots of others to you) AND 2) what you can do to change it all around immediately. It’s taking place next week – Wednesday, March 16th at 8pm Eastern. So clear your schedule because this is THE year you begin to make a lot more in your business, and never have to wonder where your next client will come from every again. Get all the details and register for my new WEBINAR here. See you on Wednesday!
Whether we admit to it or not, we as humans love things like gossip, soap operas, eavesdropping, sharing secrets, peeping, and Entertainment Tonight (basically, everything on the E! cable network). And let’s not forget People Magazine—yes, I read it religiously every week. Why are we obsessed with this as a culture? It’s the human interest. It’s finding out about OTHER people’s lives, the intricacies, the quirky little details, the strange ways of being. Sometimes we’re looking to see how DIFFERENT others’ lives are. Perhaps we’re aspiring to be like them, or maybe we’re ridiculing them. Sometimes, we’re just looking to see how SIMILAR their lives are. (“Hey, celebrities go grocery shopping too?”) (more…)
I am thrilled to be hosting my first-ever Client Attraction webinar next week.
