I hear this all the time:
“Fabienne, I’ve been at the same level for a while. I’ve plateaued and I don’t know why. I feel like there’s a roadblock getting in the way of my growth, but I can’t seem to figure out what it is. Can you help me?”
Yes, I can.
We entrepreneurs are presented with opportunities for growth almost on a daily basis.
If that’s true, then why isn’t every entrepreneur growing?
Lack of commitment.
And not doing what it takes because of excuses.
(Hey, I’ve been there too, so no judgment here!)
Would you like to know the number one excuse entrepreneurs use that gets in the way? Here it is, in this week’s video:
(I take a pretty strong stand for you in this video. Not sure if you’ve ever seen this side of me.) 😉
If we want different results, we simply must be willing to do what we previously haven’t done.
And that means we must be willing to go beyond our excuses, the ones that stop us.
And in today’s 7-minute video, you’ll hear the short list of the most common entrepreneurial excuses – and what to do to stop making them.
This creates traction. This creates new results.
In the comments section, please let me know this: what excuses are you willing to give up?
I can’t wait to read your comments and cheer you on from the sidelines!
Believing in you always,
Fabienne
p.s. Do you know someone who could use more traction in their business? Please forward this blog to them, OK? Thanks so much for reading and sharing. I am grateful for you.
I had a secret for many years that I refused to share, for fear of people thinking I’d lost my mind.
And I felt like a fraud because of it.
You see, I realized something.
I realized that marketing doesn’t work…
Well, it doesn’t work… by itself.
If you want to grow a successful business, get more clients, make more money, experience true abundance and accomplish anything you want in your life, and I mean anything, you need 3 things.
Watch this week’s video to find out what those 3 things are:
So, here I was, running a successful business teaching entrepreneurs solely about good marketing (and yes, I’m a master teacher of all things that have to do with authentic and integrous marketing).
But deep down I knew that it wasn’t enough to make an entrepreneur experience a massive shift.
I knew that things like chaotic vibration were getting in the way.
And once I started sharing this with my clients, and teaching them what I now teach hundreds and hundreds of our students, they got exponential results in our Business School.
This week’s 5-minute video outlines what’s absolutely, positively, supercalifragilisticexpialidociously necessary for you to gain massive traction in your business and move to that next level.
Without it, you’ll stay where you are.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, OK? Please post a comment below.
With deep appreciation for who you are and the work you’re here to do.
Love,
Fabienne
At the risk of sounding like a get-rich-quick scheme (yuck!) I am writing you today to let you know that you can indeed afford anything you want.
Meaning, there is money in your life – right now – that you don’t know exists.
Or rather, there is POTENTIAL money in your life right now, in the form of opportunities that haven’t been actioned yet. And lots of it.
What??
Yes, and this week’s video (straight from my recent Mindset Retreat) explains what I mean and how to find that money:
(Note: if you’re spiritual like I am, you’ll love the content starting at 4:04. And just a friendly heads-up that there’s a whispered expletive at around 6:06, just to spice things up a bit, courtesy of one of my dear students!) 🙂
Listen, I hear entrepreneurs (and just regular folks off the street too) tell me, almost daily, how they “can’t afford this” or “don’t have the money for that,” etc.
The reframe I have around this that has proven to be completely life-altering for tens of thousands of people so far is that if you change your beliefs, the money will be there.
Here’s what I mean:
If you stop saying, “I can’t afford it” and instead say, “HOW can I afford it?”, you will begin to activate your brain’s Reticular Activating System (basically, a part of your brain’s function that acts as a filter for what you’ve asked it to look for) and you will begin to FIND the money.
Every year at The Mindset Retreat™ and throughout our programs of The Client Attraction Business School™, I teach our students this powerful focusing strategy for finding at least 50 opportunities for new money waiting for you right now.
This is a practice that my husband Derek and I still use to this day. It’s crazy how it works every time someone uses it as instructed. I’m always (still) blown away.
Intrigued?
Once you’ve watched the video, the question I’m excited for you to answer is:
What are 3 opportunities (out of the 50 you come up with) that you’ll implement this week for making more money right now?
I can’t wait to read your comment on the blog and cheer you on as you begin to implement this. I believe in you.
Sending you so much love,
Fabienne
p.s. Speaking of the Reticular Activating System… a big (personal) dream of mine is happening this week. What happens when you explore what’s possible beyond your limiting beliefs? Do you dare to push beyond what you’ve done before, to break out of your comfort zone and activate your potential for greatness? That’s what I’m talking about during my first TED Talk tomorrow.
My intention (as per my journal entry from this morning) is to “deliver a powerful, loving, life-changing message, beaming love the whole time, causing a shift in consciousness, for the highest good of all… Let my session be dangerous to a person’s sense that they are small and helpless and hopeless; to their feeling that they are alone and invisible; to any belief they have that they are somehow worthless, inadequate or bad; to any belief that they are too much or not enough. AND SO IT IS!” Thank you for your continued, loving support! I love you. 😉
I just poked my head into the Facebook group for the Mindset Retreat attendees and they are SO excited to get together in Florida this week. Here’s a post by Kellie, whom I adore:
We’ve been seeing notes like this one all week…
With Mindset Retreat just around the corner (it starts this Thursday), I wanted to be sure you got my invite last week to join us for a bit of it, at no charge…
Click here to RSVP for free for this Friday’s livestream.
I’m inviting you to eavesdrop on several hours of the Mindset Retreat experience. Maybe you’re just a bit curious as to why people would come to this 3-day event, three and sometimes four years in a row? Often from across the globe?
And maybe you feel like being inspired? Well, you can now access a few hours of this transformational (even legendary) 3-day experience.
And I promise you’re going to be inspired and stretched to think bigger about what’s possible for your own business (and life).
Here’s where you click to register for free.
The date and time are below (plug this into your calendar as soon as you register so you don’t forget or miss it):
Mindset Retreat™ with Fabienne
“Live Video Broadcast from Florida”
Friday, October 9, 2015
4:00 to 6:00 p.m. EDT
(That’s 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. CDT; 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. MDT; 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. PDT) 😉
Why free? It’s my way to get this message out there in a bigger way, especially because I live to give content that acts as a catalyst for people’s success.
And two, in full transparency, I believe that if you’re inspired by what you hear, perhaps you’ll want to join me live and in person for the whole 3 days next year or work with me in the future. That’s why. 😉
Either way, it’s going to be great for you… something to work on until we (perhaps) see you next year. You’re going to love it!!!
Here’s the link again to register to eavesdrop on part of the event at no charge.
Can’t wait to wave to you from stage! Bring a big notebook for notes, OK?
Big hugs,
Fabienne
p.s. In addition to the content, you’ll get to meet successful students currently in The Client Attraction Business School™ who’ll share their own moments of inspiration.
They’re normal people doing extraordinary things as a result of upgrading their mindset and committing to their business. It may be the shot of inspiration you’ve needed for your business. Enjoy! See you Friday! Here’s where you RSVP for it.
OK, so you’ve been hearing from me about Mindset recently.
And you may be wondering:
“Why is Fabienne so focused on Mindset when she’s got a BUSINESS SCHOOL for entrepreneurs? Shouldn’t we just be talking about business strategy and marketing?”
Or
“Why is she so adamant on talking about personal development and the psychology of success for business? Why is that woowoo stuff so important that she feels compelled to do a 3-day event on it for business owners every year?”
Well, to be really frank with you, I consider it a mandatory process for my entrepreneurs who want to see new results quickly…
… simply because it transformed my own income (and thousands of my business owner clients and students over the years).
Yes, I do teach my clients the strategy of marketing and rapid business growth (what to do, how to do it), but in the end, what they tell me makes the biggest breakthroughs in their results is…
… the transformational mindset piece they’ve been missing.
You see, if you’re not yet where you want to be, it’s almost always solved with Mindset.
So, if you want new results, I consider this material required material for you too.
That said, here’s why I’m writing today:
The 3-day Mindset Retreat™ is coming up next week (I only offer it once a year).
People are flying in from all around the world to be there in person, in Florida, at the beach to experience their own transformation with me.
But perhaps you can’t make it this year. For whatever reason, you may not have been able to get away, and maybe you regret it.
It’s ok. We’ve all been there, wanting to do something but not being able to get away.
But I thought, maybe, just maybe, if you COULD experience even just a small portion of the content, you would see how valuable it is, get some great value and perhaps you’d want to come experience it in full next year?
So, that being said, today, I’d like to extend a rare opportunity to join us live (at no cost to you) to experience a small portion of my Mindset Retreat 3-day event, from the comfort of your home or office.
It’s going to be transformational for you. And yes, I said at no cost.
I’d really like to share a portion of the event with you, to inspire you, to help you see what’s possible for your own business as a result of mindset, and because I know it can help you transform your business (and maybe even your whole life).
All you need is computer and an internet connection. That’s it. 🙂
Here’s what you can plug into your calendar after you register:
Mindset Retreat™ with Fabienne
“Live Video Broadcast from Florida”
Friday, October 9, 2015
4:00 to 6:00 p.m. EDT
(That’s 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. CDT; 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. MDT; 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. PDT) 😉
Once you’ve plugged that time in to your calendar and made arrangements to be there without distractions, make sure to set an alarm on your mobile phone for Friday, October 9th at 4:00 ET (or whatever time zone fits you best) so you don’t forget!
(That’s what I always do.)
Like I said, all you’ll need to join us live is your computer, an Internet connection and a couple of hours of focused time to get inspired and take notes.
In exchange for that investment of your time, you will discover what it takes to make a big shift in your business and income going forward.
That’s it! Excited?? (Me too.)
Again, here’s that link to register for your free backstage pass to join us at Mindset.
OK, gotta put finishing touches to my presentation!
I’ll see you there and wave to you from stage!
Sending large doses of inspiration (and love) your way,
Fabienne
p.s. Remember to mark this in your calendar: MINDSET RETREAT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 4:00-6:00 P.M. ET.
p.p.s. One more thing! If things have shifted in your schedule and you DO think you can make it in person in Florida next week to the Mindset Retreat, there are indeed a handful of spaces left. It’s not too late to register for the ENTIRE 3-day event. Just click here.
One of the most difficult things about being an entrepreneur is the feeling of isolation, of being alone against the elements.
And although few people ever dare to talk about this, this feeling of isolation can be exaggerated when the people in your life who are supposed to support you, well, don’t.
Hey, even though you believe in what you’re doing and have faith that your ideas will lead to great things, it’s not always easy for those around you to get on board with your ideas of expansion…
… especially when it comes to investing money in growing your business.
Ever experience having a conversation with your partner about investing money in your business and not getting the answer you wanted?
This week’s new 7-minute content video (and script) may help you turn things around:
Admittedly, I’m going out on a limb here today, addressing a subject that few would ever touch.
In my many years of working with students in The Client Attraction Business School, I’ve come across countless business owners who want to invest in their business but experience backlash from their life (or business) partner.
Many times, the entrepreneur feels as though they have to decide between a thriving business and a happy home life…:(
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
In today’s video, I explain why most partners are initially hesitant about having you invest in your growth and what to say to bring them over to your side, believe in you and support your decision to invest in yourself.
After you watch today’s video, please tell me in the comments: What would you invest in (financially) if you finally had your spouse or business partner’s full support?
I am really looking forward to supporting you to achieve even bigger results.
Contrary to popular belief, you really can have it all.
See you in the comments.
I’m rooting for you from the sidelines, OK? Go!
xoxo,
Fabienne
p.s. Can you think of other entrepreneurs who secretly (or not so secretly) struggle with this too? Would you send them this blog so they can have more confidence and conviction in their own business or life?
Though we often talk here about strategic things like marketing techniques and plans for growing your business, today I’d like to take a different tack and talk about your…
…feelings!
Yes, how are you feeling today? (It’s important you know if you want better results.)
We’re not talking about emotions and feelings in a mushy kind of way, but about your personal vibration, as it relates to your business results.
In fact, this week’s new 5-minute video explains it all (definitely don’t miss this one because underestimating this important aspect can actually be very costly):
Perhaps you’re thinking, “Fabienne, what does my energy have to do with my business results?” And to that, I say EVERYTHING. (It’s proven by science.)
Low vibration = low/bad results
High vibration = high/great results
Essentially, FEEL and grow rich.
After you watch this video, please write me in the comments below and let me know: how are you feeling right now about your business, high or low? (Be honest!) What will you do to increase your personal energy to one of faith, appreciation and positivity?
It really matters, as you’ll see in the video.
Thanks for reading and here’s to increasing your results, dramatically.
Love you, more than you know,
Fabienne
P.S. Just making sure you saw my email yesterday entitled: “Free tuition to the Mindset Retreat!” It’s about our Client Attraction Business School Back-to-School Celebration.
In a nutshell, here’s what I wrote you about: From now until September 18th, those who decide to enroll in the Business School (new website, you’ll love it) will be excited to get bonuses worth more than $10,000 (free admission to the 3-day Mindset Retreat in October, the ability to nominate and bring a colleague at no charge to Mindset Retreat and access to my closed-door 2015 Strategic Planning Full Day Session reserved for CABS students only).
These bonuses are worth more than $10,000 and are available only for those who enroll in CABS before next Friday, Sept. 18.
Interested? 1) Look for yesterday’s email or 2) click here to read more about CABS (it’s a new website as of yesterday) and 3) click here to schedule a no-obligation 60-minute Strategy Session with one of our caring Strategy Coaches to talk about your business, map our your next 12 months and see if CABS would be a good option for you. If it’s not, we’ll be happy to help you find another solution. If you do all this and enroll before next Friday, you get all the bonuses. It only happens once this year. Enjoy!! xoxo
During my month-long vacation in August (partly in France, partly here at the beach in Connecticut), people kept asking me the same question.
“How exactly are you able to take as much time off as a business owner, without checking in very much? I thought entrepreneurs are supposed to always make themselves available? How on earth do you do it?”
Well, it’s simple actually.
You CAN take (mostly) unplugged, extended vacations, IF you take a few precautionary steps ahead of time, as I explain in this week’s content video:
Imagine taking this December off. Or maybe even August next summer?
In this week’s new four-minute video, I share a few pointers that we use and teach our Leverage students of the Business School to successfully take several weeks off (maybe even months?) at a time, without losing business or your sanity.
In fact, being away can actually produce one of your highest revenue months of the year, as some of our students are experiencing.
Once you watch the video, please share with me in the comments below how much time you would like to take off each year and what you’re going to do to make that happen, OK?
By this time next year, let’s all have a nice extended (and unplugged) vacation planned, shall we?
Sending love,
Fabienne
p.s. Know someone who works too much and could use some more time off in their business? Please send them this blog… They will hug you for it. 😉
The days are long and warm, the tree frogs and cicadas sing from morning to night, the pace is unhurried.
I don’t know about you, but having grown up in France, I fervently believe in taking time off and that summer is a time to relax, rejuvenate and massively slow down.
I am unapologetic about this.
And so, every August, Derek and I take a break from our business for the month and dedicate our days to spending massive quality time with the kids.
No frantic schedules. In fact, no schedules at all.
We’ve strategically set up our business all year so we can do this, and you can too.
We alternate between the beach and the pool, and we punctuate our days with relaxed meals on the porch or the terrace, enjoying fresh salads and quick grilled ingredients.
Here’s a picture of us on a day trip to New York:
I’ve learned over the years, from working with so many hundreds of entrepreneurs, that for many, there is no such thing as “down time.”
That being “busy,” even on vacation, is a badge of honor.
That the American ideal of having-it-all comes with the high price of constantly being “on.”
I don’t believe in that.
I believe that you absolutely need time off and that, without it, you eventually burn out (and I’ve met many strung out entrepreneurs that prove this point).
That is not good for business.
So, I just wanted to drop you a quick (loving) note to make sure you’re taking some well deserved time off this month.
Make it count.
What do you love to do? Who do you love being with? What do you usually wish you had more time to indulge in?
Please share this with me in the comments below, OK?
Begin doing these wonderful things now.
That to-do list will wait. I promise.
That said, you won’t hear from me as much this month as I’m pretty much unplugging and just being.
And, although you don’t need my permission to do so, I would like you to do the same.
I’ll see you in September at back-to-school time, OK?
Enjoy every moment of it.
Sending you lots of love,
Fabienne
P.S. As we move back into September, I’ll be making an announcement about back-to-school, so keep an eye out! Hint: it has to do with ramping up your results in the Fall. But for now, just enjoy, OK? See you then! xo
Part of being a successful entrepreneur involves having the courage to put yourself out there in the world.
And even when you’re doing great things, and loving people up, there will still be people who are going to be “not so lovely” with you.
It’s just part of playing a bigger game. They likely think that because you’ve been given a lot, there is less abundance left for them.
I recorded a super-short video for you this week that explains why this is absolutely, most definitely not the case:
I recently received a comment on my Facebook wall that got me thinking about the mindset of other “lack” oriented people, including this young woman I talk about in the video.
(Nothing’s wrong with her. She just hasn’t been introduced to how abundance gets created through her mindset yet. I sent her love despite her comment…)
Abundance in business is largely a result of your beliefs and your expectations of what’s possible. You’ll see how when you watch the video.
I’d like you to be one of the people who believes and knows that anything is possible.
In fact, this week’s video will show you one tool I have used for years to bring abundance into my life, one that you can use too to manifest anything you want.
After you’ve watched the video, please let me know the answer to these two short questions by writing me a comment:
What is it that you really want to attract in your business and in your life? What will you write on your own goal card?
I’d love to know! Please write me your response in the comments!
Thanks so much for being part of our awesome community.
We love you!
Sending big hugs,
Fabienne
P.S. About this mindset topic and mastering the inner game of abundance: just making sure that you registered for my new and totally free online course called “Master Your Mindset.” (It’s awesome.) If you haven’t yet, no problem, but just make sure you get yourself there now and register for it. Once you’ve enjoyed the first free class, please forward the link (or this email) on to everyone you know who could use better results, so they can register too, OK? Let’s together spread the word about this free mindset training course! Thank you so much. Here’s where you get access to my new free training class. xoxo
