Want More Clients? Do More of This.

The most important four-letter word in business and life is CARE.

For me, CARE is an acronym.

  • Your Communication is based on what you pay Attention to.
  • Your Attention (focus) determines your Results.
  • Your Results can be Excellent.

How do your prospects, clients, and fellow human beings know you care about them?

Are you focusing on the correct problems your prospects are experiencing? Do you know how to improve your presentations and conversations? 

Notice your communication patterns and habits. It's all about self-awareness.

If you want better results, it's time to CARE in a new way.

My Client Was Full of It, and You Probably Are, Too

Humans are born with only 2 fears: the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises.

Science proves it.

Everything else you’re afraid of was learned, most likely in your childhood (0-7 years old)

And we carry these fears—and the stories behind them—with us…for years.

• You talk about being afraid of heights.

• You talk about being afraid of dogs, spiders, or snakes.

• You talk about your fear of public speaking. Then, you give momentum to your (learned) story by talking about the presentation you messed up…in 2012.

Our words create our worlds.

And they usually keep us from growing ourselves and our businesses.

So, what are you afraid of, aside from maybe falling and loud noises?

My client, Don, was reflecting with me about how transformative this fear lesson has been for him.

Don’s a super smart techie.

He was studying computer languages long before the rest of us found the Internet.

His programs have been used by the Pentagon and...

The #1 Issue that Keeps Slowing Your Business Growth

I want to get in front of people who can hire me; I want to grow my business! 

That’s what I’ve been hearing these past few weeks on social media and from my own client calls. 

Look, social media gives each of us access to the masses.

So, it’s not hard to get in front of people—even the right people who are your dream clients. 

Still, there’s a challenge that most entrepreneurs and coaches don’t recognize.

It’s this: What do you SAY when you get in front of your peeps?

If you’re like most of my clients, when we first start working together, they say the same thing.

You’re not alone…

  • Maria thought her problem was only having a few small clients (and struggling to make money). Then she realized she needed the confidence to talk about herself in a big, bold way.
  • Chris thought he wasn’t closing enough sales. Then he realized he didn’t feel worthy enough to speak up. 
  • Heidi knew she...

Nobody’s Talking at the Airport—and That’s a Problem

I flew from Texas to New Jersey a few days ago.
 
I saw really long, beautiful lines at the airports.
 
Lines to check bags.
 
Lines to get through security.
 
Lines to buy food.
 
Certainly, a lovely sight as we emerge from the Pandemic.
 
Still, one thing really frightened me.
 
Even with the big crowds, the noise levels were incredibly low.
 
There wasn’t much chatter.
 
Or small talk.
 
Everyone was keeping to themselves.
 
Everyone was plugged into technology with earbuds that kept them closed off from the real-life experience of being out with other human beings.
 
And it’s not just at the airport.
 
It’s everywhere…the store, restaurants, the gym.
 
Our faces are in our phones.
 
Our brains are distracted and somewhere else.
 
Our earbuds turn us inward and keep us stuck in our own heads. In...
