People often tell me how truly inspiring it is to witness the success stories of others who are just a few steps ahead on the path to success. (I do too. It makes me think I too can achieve THAT.)

In fact, our innovative community of business owners has a saying:

“A rising tide lifts all boats.”

It’s the deep gratitude in knowing that when one of us reaches a big goal, it makes it possible for all of us to do the same.

In that spirit, I’d love for you to hear from one of our self-proclaimed “masters” of our Client Attraction Business School…

Truth be told, she’s earned the right, because Shelley has been a student here for four years and counting!

And while some may think it’s because her results were less than stellar and she needed more help (ha! wait ’til you see the video below!) what you’ll hear is something completely different…

Take the next 6 minutes to get inspired and dream bigger by watching it now:

(Please watch it ’til the end as the last minute or so is incredibly profound, a valuable teaching moment in itself.)

The ripple effect of success that Shelley talks about is one of the most powerful accomplishments I see our students make. There’s simply nothing better than being able to provide a pathway to happiness and freedom for the people we love.

It can be quite humbling and awe inspiring. Imagine being able to create this for your family.

And what I also love about what Shelley shares (other than the really awesome and very true things she has to say about Derek) is her recognition of the power of bypassing her own ego.

Our ego will always defend its entrenched position, which is the status quo.

As an advancing entrepreneur, you must learn to thank that ego voice for its concern but then make decisions that lead you toward the big vision you have for yourself and your business, NOT away from it.

It is a requisite to your success.

Shelley doesn’t stay connected to The Client Attraction Business School because she’s struggling. Oh no, quite the opposite! She stays because she’s thriving. She’s learned that having this level of support and community is vital to her taking her business to the highest level possible.

This is what we do, and people like Shelley are why we do it.

I invite you to join us. This is a business school like no other. And there’s just no reason for you to work on your business alone anymore. Not when there are people like me and Shelley to cheer you on, give you resources, challenge you to play bigger (lovingly) and believe deeply in you.

We are here, ready to support you with proven training and systems, caring coaches and an aspirational community.

It’s time. It’s your time. 

Fill out your application to speak to one of our Strategy Coaches here, today.

I look forward to seeing you four years from now and cheering you on, too!

You’ve got this,
Fabienne

p.s. If you’ve been dancing around your decision to explore joining this community, I hope you’ll listen to Shelley’s advice (not mine about the cocktail, I was just kidding!) and take the leap by applying for a chat with one of our Coaches today.

Today, I want to give you a peek behind the scenes of one of our Growth Track meetings, because this lesson is really important.

This isn’t the polished presentation of one of my live public events (as you’ll see, it’s pretty casual and I make a couple of faces).

But, it’s the subtle teachings that we share with our students that help them create such great results they would never create on their own…and I believe this particular lesson is vital.

It’s why you may have tried someone’s sales script or process, and despite their assurances that it was “the way” to market and sell…

…it didn’t work for you. That’s because you weren’t being YOU.

Watch this short video now to learn why this is crucial:

You see, we are all wired differently. I believe that our unique strengths and talents correlate directly to our areas of unique brilliance.

In fact, what I teach our students and clients (at all business “life stages,” from start-up to scale-up) is that you make 80% of your money from doing your Unique Brilliance. Whenever you’re doing something else, you are costing your company money.

This doesn’t just work for me, this works for every business owner, including you.

When you watch this week’s 3-minute video, you’ll discover what my own top 5 strengths are and how I leverage them in my own business as rocket fuel for growth.

Here at Client Attraction, we have everyone on our Team (and many of our students) go through a process to do this, so that we can know how to best leverage their strengths in our business. (It’s why our employees say they are so happy to work here. They’re primarily doing only stuff they love and are wired to do.)

You’ll also understand why you may procrastinate sometimes in your business (hint: it’s because you’re going against the grain and you’re not wired to do some things in your business).

I highly recommend that you look into taking this assessment yourself (and with your Team, if you have one). It’s called StrengthsFinder 2.0. Then, you can coordinate your specific sales and marketing practices to match your unique abilities and strengths.

It will work so much better and is easier than trying to be someone you’re not!

It really is ninja. 🙂

So…tell me in the comments section:

How will you use your own top 5 strengths to shift or strengthen your sales processes?

When you sell in the way you’re wired, magic happens.

Happy (authentic) selling!
Fabienne

For the first half of my career in coaching entrepreneurs to become more successful, I told people that silver bullets and magic pills don’t exist.

I told all my clients that your entrepreneurial success depends only on consistency, sheer effort, blood-sweat-and-tears and willful determination.

That elusive Magic Pill?!? Nope. Doesn’t exist and never will.

Stop asking for a magic pill!, I would tell people.

But then I experienced a transformation in my own business. Something I never expected.

The following quote by Napoleon Hill finally made sense to me, because it happened to me:

Something amazing happened (I’ll tell you about it in a video I’ll be sharing with you in a few days) and I realized that there was indeed a way to put everything I’d been teaching and doing myself on overdrive.

That was the beginning of the journey that helped me turn my yearly income into my monthly income…

…with authenticity and integrity, of course.

And so, because it worked so dramatically well for me, my clients began asking me about it.

And so, I began teaching this Magic Pill to them…and at some exclusive events.

Do you know what “it” is???

I will tell you about it shortly. And as far as I can tell it is the closest thing to a magic pill that there is.

But I don’t want to keep this to my inner circle anymore.

It’s time to share the wealth, literally!

So, this loving note is just a heads up that over the next few weeks, you and I are going to be doing a deep dive into the leading-edge tools you need to turn the most you’ve ever made in a year into your monthly income.

You’ll be receiving LOTS of great content from me in the coming weeks, and it’s all culminating in a very special LIVE VIDEO EVENT on Friday, February 12th at 11:00 a.m. Eastern (New York) Time.

Oh, and this training is totally free. No charge, nada, zip.

My gift to you.

(More details coming soon, but for now mark your calendar for this date now, OK?)

And in the meantime…

Dig deep and dream big. You’re going to be receiving amazing tools you can use to shatter that glass ceiling you’ve been staring at.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Fabienne

p.s. Keep an eye on the blog this Tuesday… I’ll be sending you a special invitation to join me. 😉

I recently spoke with a new student about his business. Prior to joining our Business School, John experienced a tremendous decrease in revenue.

Despite putting his best face forward, he was stressed and not taking a salary.

He was worried – as anyone would be – about how to rebuild and get his cash flow back to where it used to be.

After listening to him and learning more about his business, I realized that his cash flow situation is actually really common among entrepreneurs at all levels, one that most business owners and entrepreneurs have dealt with at one time or another.

How do you increase your cash flow now?? Today I’d like to share with you John’s story and the solution I gave him to inject a business with cash, now. Here it is:

There are many reasons for a reduction in cash. John’s revenue decreased because he, for lack of a better term, had put all of his eggs in one basket by putting his major focus on just one big client. And when that happens, when one of your clients provides you with the bulk of your business’ income, losing them, or having them greatly reduce their contract, means trouble.

For some, it can even mean crisis.

Unless, you have a plan!

In today’s short five-minute video, I show you how to quickly recoup your cash flow, no matter if you’re making $8,000, $80,000 or $800,000 a year.

Once you’ve watched the video, my question for you today is: what will you do more of that worked to initially land your best clients and what will you stop doing right now to make room for increasing your cash flow?

I can’t wait to read your comments below.

Sending you lots of love,
Fabienne

P.S. Didn’t want to say goodbye for today without thanking you for all the well wishes on my TEDx Talk last week! I was overwhelmed with your love and support. The video of my 18-minute session on Activating Your Potential for Greatness isn’t up on TED.com yet, but I promise to let you know the minute it is! Enjoy and have a great weekend! In the meantime, you can watch this video to help you get ahead in reaching your business potential.You rock. xoxo

I recorded this new video success tip based on something I live everyday in my business.

We entrepreneurs, regardless of what level of business we’re at, often find ourselves staring fear right in the face. Hey, it simply comes with the territory of climbing out on that limb and taking certain risks (risks that others aren’t necessarily willing to take…) in order to accomplish our BIG goals.

I share my secret on how to get THROUGH that fear and come out on the other side with all the success you desire. Make this tip part of your daily routine and you’ll experience the POWER of positive expectation because what you have in your life is based on what you EXPECT.

I see it at work everyday in my own life and in that of my client’s. I hope you’ll put it to work in yours too…

Sometimes, for some reason, the brand new client decides to back out and not go forward with working with you, even BEFORE starting the work.There’s nothing more frustrating.

Do you let them just walk away, or do you DO something about it? In my opinion, how to respond is directly related to the reason they’re backing out. Once you know, you can respond accordingly. (more…)

To dramatically increase referrals, it’s important to educate the people you consider personal advocates (those who know you, like you, trust you, love you, and want the best for you), and let them know what you’re up to and who your best clients are.

If you’re just starting out, it’s a letter of introduction; if you’ve been in practice several months or years, write an “update letter” on how your practice has grown or new services that you provide. (more…)

It’s been a busy season of meetings and trips, both personal and professional. Last week, I attended a one-day meeting that left me sleepless last night, my mind racing about the possibilities for expansion of The Client Attraction System® to a global company that is the number one resource for women entrepreneurs looking to attract more clients, experience unlimited lifetime growth and an unsurpassed quality of life. My heart races when I imagine how truly big this vision is, and yet, at the same time, how doable and attainable it is, right within my reach. I’ll share more of the development over the next few months…

This is actually a great example of the kind of mindset you need whenever you’re looking to grow your business, even if you’re at the beginning stages, stuck, frustrated, overwhelmed even with the prospect of getting just a few more clients on board. The opposite is a mindset that helps you have a consistently full pipeline of ideal, high-paying clients, who refer others to you continuously. Are you curious about attaining that same mindset? Watch a video I just made for you and attend the no-charge live training call I’m hosting for you next week. You can register here.

Now that I’m done traveling for the year (other than a solo, romantic 2-night jaunt to New York City this week with Derek), I’m looking forward to finishing my book in December and January. And while Derek and the kids went skiing in Vermont this weekend, I stayed home to spend quality time with little Oliver in our new home, and for some girlfriend time from my close friend Baeth who visited me from Tucson, AZ. It was great, relaxed fun! Hope you had a greet weekend too…

Let’s face it: being self-employed, our businesses are fundamentally a reflection of every part of us. It’s not like working for a corporation where you don’t really control the outcome of the business unless you’re at the top. Who you and I “are” as people literally affects our businesses, every day, every minute, every second, with every breath.

Knowing that the “inner” is directly reflected in the “outer,” it’s especially so for those working solo. If there’s turmoil or disconnection within you as a person, it will be reflected in your business. If there’s purpose, acceptance, and alignment, things come to you without struggle. (more…)

I’m really thrilled to be kicking off the Super Mompreneur Conference at the New Yorker Hotel in NYC this Saturday, October 30th. I’ll be taking the stage first thing in the morning to welcome all attendees and speakers and to get everyone into the right mindset for an unbelievable day of learning and growing.

Having three yummy kids of my own, Mompreneurship is a topic really close to my heart. As women, as moms, and as entrepreneurs you and I have the power to create a legacy of service through our lives and our businesses—adding true value to the world in a lasting way, while creating huge breakthroughs in our personal income.

We’re here to serve the world in a BIG way. Each and every one of us mompreneurs has the capacity to become the full expression of our purpose here on earth, but to do so, we must take a no-excuses approach to growing within. How do we do that? That’s exactly what I’ll be sharing tomorrow morning. I’ll be covering:

• How and why your success is so dependent on your internal state of mind
• The many different ways YOU STOP YOURSELF everyday from making more in your business
• The places and people who ‘gunked up’ your mindset in the first place
• The 3 things you need to combine to create results in your income
• The things I used to think and believe that held me back in a BIG way (hint: these same things are probably holding you back too)
• How to change this all around, quickly, so you too can finally start experiencing a Quantum Leap in your business
• How and why it’s time for you to SHARE YOUR BROWNIES with the world!

I promise to write more about the conference and all the amazing moms I’ll be meeting there. Why don’t you join us there? It’s not too late to register. Visit the Super Mompreneur Conference website to sign up now. Oh and great news– the Client Attraction community is invited to take a 50% off the registration price. Just enter the code FF50.

I can’t wait to see you there!
