It's easy to slide down the "rabbit hole" of doing, doing, doing. . .
Doing more social posts
Doing more to our graphics (or getting new headshots)
Doing more edits on our website
There is a time and a place for those activities...
But NOT if you are wondering where your next client is coming from or if you are struggling to pay the mortgage this month.
After starting and scaling two successful businesses (an ISO and a beverage company) I took 5 years off, became a yoga teacher,and 100% focused on becoming a mom, finally having our baby and raising him until he went to school.
One day, I bought a book off of Amazon and on the back was a website. The website had me fill out my name and email in exchange for a download that went along with the book. The next few weeks I started getting emails from a coach.
This was my first foray into doing business virtually in a global economy.
I started going into Facebook groups and connecting with other women business owners. Some were virtual assistants, freelance writers and many were starting their coaching businesses. I got on the phone with a few and was horrified at what I heard. They had beautiful branding and gorgeous websites but they were going out of business.
I even tried to hire a few of them but they would talk and talk and talk about themselves and NEVER ask specific questions. They would drone on about what they did but NEVER establish their value. It was straight out of a sales training nightmare. They were smart and great at their work but STARVING because they were trying to live off of referrals. They believed that MORE marketing was the answer. Spoiler alert: it's not.
The biggest problem I saw everyone making (those who were complaining that they had no clients or customers) was that they were doing all of the steps OUT OF ORDER.
They were focusing on "getting headshots" and "branding their website" but had ZERO money coming in the front door. These were smart, highly experienced business women from ALL types of industries: Lawyers who became Life Coaches, Engineers who became Authors, Medical Doctors who became Health Coaches, Harvard Professors who became Business Coaches and Ivy Leaguers who became Email Marketers.
They understood business. They were wicked smart. I kept asking myself "How were they missing this???".
Then I started to realize that the online space can play on your worst fears and press on your self-doubt like no other space. With custom-made newsfeeds that show you exactly what you've expressed interest in, you only see your LACK and it can feel like EVERYONE else has already DONE what you are just setting out to do and ... they are doing it better (or at least it can FEEL that way).
It's not your fault if you feel defeated.
There is so much PRESSURE to do more, show up more, be more visible that the actual REASON you wanted to start your business in the first place can get lost. You wanted to SHARE. You wanted to SERVE. You wanted to SUPPORT. But all you are getting is exhausted trying to KEEP UP.
There IS a better way.
You can AVOID all of the fluff and get clients NOW. This week.
I shared an example of yet another client who did it AGAIN just this PAST week. Yes, even in the midst of ALL that is going on in the world right now.
This is the drum I have been beating for YEARS!!
No list, no website, no problem: get clients now.
