“There’s never a point in your marketing at which you can say, “Well, I’m successful now, I might as well take a nap.” Take a look around at the very successful entrepreneurs you look up to. They never stop marketing. Never. In fact, they’re always adding new things to their existing marketing plans. Do the same. Get past your procrastination and into Client Attraction. ALWAYS BE MARKETING and you’ll always have clients.”
QUOTE:”Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.” – Ghandi
Sometimes, despite the stellar marketing plans, our “positive thinking”, our resolve, our determination and manifesting, we have doubts about whether we can really “do” this. Let’s admit it. Sometimes fear steps in anyway, despite our best intentions. The inner doubt begins to take over and we wonder if it’s really going to “happen”.
Thing is, the way we feel about our business directs the actions that we take. And of course, the actions we take (in marketing and otherwise) inevitably create the results we experience in our business. Those actions we choose to take (or not) determine how many clients we have, our level of 1ncome, and the opportunities that we take advantage of.
So, that said, how we FEEL and ACT is crucial in the process of creating the business we want. But often, especially in times of doubt, we’re not sure how to get back to a good-feeling place, do we? We want the direction of our business to change, we want a solution to our problems to arrive. Essentially, we want a “miracle” to show up and take care of everything.
If you’re at all spiritual like I am, you already know intellectually that when we expect a miracle, a miracle shows up. If we have faith that good things are on their way, they show up, and there’s a lot to be said about positive expectation. This isn’t about positive thinking. This is about faith and positive expectation and faith counts for everything in this game.
Problem is, most people have a difficult time actually staying in a place of deep faith that what they envision for their business (and their life) is on its way. It takes a lot of courage to BELIEVE that the results are indeed coming. But when you believe, that process of faith is the biggest magnet for bringing prosperity to your business and into your life.
So, how do you have faith when the current situation you are experiencing doesn’t quite match the situation you want to create? ACT AS IF. Acting “as if” helps give you the confidence to act in a different way, to be more bold, to have less doubt.
What would actually happen if you believed that the solution, change or miracle you were looking for was actually on its way to you right now? Would you change the way you act and feel? Asking yourself the following question, how would you respond?
My experience is that your answer to all of these questions is YES. And when you FEEL this way, you begin to ACT this way. And when you ACT with boldness, with confidence, with trust, faith and positive expectation, nothing can stop you. Success and abundance in your business are inevitable.
But it’s your choice how you choose to feel. Terrified, doubtful, unsure? Or confident, bold, unstoppable. Which do you choose? And how will your results, your life be affected because of that choice.
Your Assignment:
Take a pad of paper and pen, and create some quiet, contemplative space. Then, at the top of the sheet of paper, write down the following question:
“If I understood the “hugeness” of the miracle that is being created for me right now, at this very moment, the miracle that’s already on its way to me, how would I begin to FEEL and ACT differently in my business?”
Then write, write, write. And see what comes up. Then make the conscious decision to FEEL what you’ve written, and then to ACT from THAT place. When you do, the miracle, change or solution you’ve been asking for has no choice but to show up.
“The real shame about ‘undervaluing what you know’ is that as a result, you may be undercharging for what you offer. This is actually one of the major reasons why most solo-entrepreneurs don’t have enough clients. Because they don’t see VALUE in what they offer, they don’t charge enough; therefore, there is a low perception of value from the prospective client’s point of view. The prospect then goes somewhere else for the same exact information.”
“It’s easier to promote when you are GIVING something of high-value to a prospect. It’s an approach of SERVICE rather than ‘selling something’ or trying to ‘get something’ from your prospect. GIVING is much more Client Attractive and takes the pressure off of the person (and yourself). Let’s face it; people love to buy, but they don’t like to be sold. When you give generously, you make it OK to offer other resources that will help that prospect. It’s like reading your favorite magazine. When you love every article, chances are the ads in the magazine will also appeal to you. Same thing here.”
“Sometimes, a prospect needs some time to make a decision on whether or when they’d like to start working with you. What I’ve noticed over the years is that when this happens, most always, the sale never happens, probably because life gets in the way and what’s out of sight is out of mind. If prospects don’t bite on the ‘sales’ call, schedule a 5 minute “check-in” call with them to follow up with each other without having to play phone tag or have to follow up with one another.”
